Chapter 522 The Life of the Ants

He Ao raised his hand, and the hilt of the sword turned along with the opening and closing of the fingers, making a wrist flower, changing from holding the sword in the forehand to holding the sword in the backhand.

Then he raised his wrist, and the blade instantly stood up straight, and he swung it obliquely forward.

Under the night, a pitch-black narrow long knife suddenly protruded from the void and collided with the invisible blade.

hum-

It was the trembling of knives and swords clashing.

Rhodes and He Ao took two steps back at the same time, looking at each other.

Evenly matched.

In the "trial move" just now, He Ao activated his super memory, mobilized his consciousness, and used his skills to gather the strength of his body to his wrist.

And Rhodes is a real B-rank.

"Your body is not as weak as it appears on the surface."

Rhodes smiled, and he stretched out his hand to loosen the bow tie around his neck, so that this ornament would not affect his movements.

At this moment, under his feet, a circular magic circle with a triangular cross pattern embedded in the middle slowly lit up.

In the city behind Rhodes, one after another green light shone under the lights.

These radiances complement the magic circle under his feet, providing coordinates and directions for the great existence beyond endless time and space.

Howo looked at the places where the lights were shining.

Not all 'homicide' scenes are lit up.

In fact, because He Ao destroyed the polluted World Tree organization and killed the puppeteer, Rose and others.

The ceremony that directly led to Rhodes' original plan could not be realized, so he had to resort to a less perfect ceremony.

Some points that were originally arranged were also discarded.

He Ao discovered this problem when he inspected these 'murder' scenes in the morning.

This also makes the ritual arranged by Rhodes far more fragile than normal rituals.

But he ran out of time. With the deepening of He Ao's investigation and the approach of opening the relic channel, Rhodes also realized that if he dragged on, he might be exposed, so he had to forcibly activate this imperfect channel. ceremony.

Therefore, he had to kill He Ao, the only threatening 'insider'.

Because of the strength that He Ao is currently displaying, it is really possible to destroy his fragile ritual.

This reason is also valid for He Ao, who has already been marked by the mysterious shadow, once the mysterious shadow really descends, he will immediately become one of the many sacrifices of the mysterious shadow.

The gods don't care about the lives of ants, so ants have to fight for their own lives.

He Ao spun back the Shadowless Sword in his hand, held the hilt with both hands, and placed the blade horizontally in front of his eyebrows, making a gesture of accumulating strength.

The thunderous 'heartbeat' accompanied by that ceremony still reverberated in his ears, and it became stronger and stronger.

He Ao moved slowly, staring at Rhodes on the opposite side.

Under the vision of divine consciousness, Rhodes' body has only one energy core, which is located at the position of his heart.

In theory, it seems that piercing his heart can kill him, but obviously, this matter may not be that simple.

Based on Rhodes' current ability, He Ao's power is actually a bit weaker than Rhodes'.

After all, in the final analysis, this body is only a C-rank.

Although He Ao has stimulated the power of the talent sequence 'Bandit' in his body to the extreme through the killing just now, he is still only a C-level.

He is holding the peak Shadowless Sword, and with the state of the peak gangster, coupled with the blessing of super memory, he can barely reach the level similar to Rhodes.

However, although his strength is slightly weaker, in such a battle where the two sides are extremely close in strength, it is not only strength that determines the outcome.

Rhodes held a long knife in his hand and stared at He Ao.

The two looked at each other, and in the next second, their figures disappeared at the same time.

This time the attacker was replaced by He Ao, he took advantage of the situation and swung his sword towards Rhodes, but was blocked by Rhodes with a horizontal knife.

The swords collided together, and amidst the clear sound of collision, He Ao's attack was blocked by Rhodes, and Rhodes also took half a step back.

Immediately afterwards, Rhodes took a step forward, and slashed vertically at He Ao's face, who was still standing still, but was blocked by He Ao's sword swing. With the help of the rebound force of the blade, Rhodes also changed his move immediately, and slashed at He Ao horizontally. Sideways, once again blocked by He Ao's back sword.

The blade collided with the blade.

The two looked up at each other and separated again.

But this time the two were not completely separated, they each took half a step back, the sword and the knife rested together, their centers of gravity were lowered, and they were in a posture of accumulating power.

There was a rustling sound as the swords and swords that were mounted together rubbed against each other.

He Ao exerted all his strength, pushed aside Rhodes' long knife, and stabbed Rhodes' heart sideways forward.

Rhodes also dodged sideways, turning his long knife away from Shadowless Sword.

The phantoms of knives and swords collided in the air. After several confrontations, the two staggered their figures, turned their backs to each other, and stood at each other's previous positions.

Immediately afterwards, He Ao turned around and slashed towards Rhodes.

Rhodes turned around and jumped back, dodging He Ao's attack, and at the same time he slashed He Ao's back with a knife.

boom--

He Ao blocked the blow with his negative sword, but the slanted forward blade still cut his clothes and skin, and the black long knife was soaked in red blood.

Under the impact of Rhodes' attack, he staggered, took a few steps forward, turned around, raised the Shadowless Sword, and looked at Rhodes.

Some kind of invisible force penetrated his body along the black long knife, eroding his flesh and blood.

At this moment, the originally transparent and clear glass curtain wall was covered with fine cracks and turned into mottled white.

This was shattered by the breath that escaped from the battle between the two.

Although the power control of the two is extremely strong, just the escaping breath is enough to cause a devastating blow to these glass curtain walls.

Rhodes stood still and did not catch up. He raised the knife, glanced at the blood slowly falling along the black blade, and then looked at He Ao,
"I take back what I just said. Your body is indeed weak. If you only have this level, I think the puppeteer is too stupid."

He raised the knife, took a step forward, and the blade sliced ​​through the void, creating a piercing sonic boom.

boom--

Knife and sword collided again.

Although his body was injured, the strength in He Ao's hands did not decrease at all. Because of the constant fighting, he has become more and more proficient at mobilizing energy in his body. At this time, he began to adjust the method of mobilizing energy according to the rules he had figured out.

In an instant, the sword collided several times again.

Rhodes' attack was very fierce, within a few strokes, he was already close to He Ao's neck.

When the black long knife was blocked in front of the shoulder by the shadowless sword, huge energy gathered in He Ao's hands.

It's now!

He slammed Rhodes' long knife away, and the huge force beyond Rhodes' expectations made Rhodes lean back. In a very short time, his center of gravity was unstable, and he rotated his body, trying to release the force.

And at this moment, He Ao pressed down, and the Shadowless Sword cut across the void.

boom--

The cracked glass curtain wall could no longer bear the breath of the two of them, and it collapsed.

Shila-

Blood with a light green glow splashed onto the shards of glass that rained down.

Rhodes staggered back two steps, looked down, and saw a long, narrow, bleeding wound attached to half of his right calf.

He Ao stood up, standing in the rain of glass shards falling like stars, looking up at Rhodes, showing a smile.

He raised his fingertips and flicked the blade of the Shadowless Sword. With a slight 'buzz' sound, the blood on the sword was blown away, and the whole sword returned to its shadowless and invisible state again.

"Are you ready?"

He raised his head and looked at the stable Rhodes.

"Ready."

Rhodes raised the long knife.

The cold wind outside blows their cheeks.

Amidst the sound of crackling glass shards falling to the ground, the swords clashed again, and the ritual circle under their feet shone brightly.

Rhodes's action was greatly affected by the calf injury. After several confrontations, He Ao mobilized his energy to the limit again, pulled away Rhodes' long knife, and pierced Rhodes' heart with a sword.

Rhodes froze and froze in place.

He Ao pulled out the Shadowless Sword, staggered back a few steps, and watched him quietly.

After all, this method of maximally mobilizing energy and temporarily increasing strength was thought up by He Ao during the battle, and it has great side effects, which will cause serious damage to the body.

Blood splashed out along Rhodes' chest, Rhodes stretched out his hand, pressed his chest, fell to his knees on the ground, looked at He Ao, "You are very strong."

Then he showed a helpless smile, "Sure enough, human power has limits."

A huge pitch-black vortex appeared in the air behind him. Immediately afterwards, a hideous huge triangular-shaped head protruded from the vortex. It opened its mouth and stretched out its bright red tongue, drawing Rhodes on the ground into its mouth. .

"Hao Yi, your strength has won my respect, and you have another chance to obey my lord."

Rhodes' old voice came from that terrifying giant, its figure continuously extended from the vortex, and its distorted and trembling ravings echoed in He Ao's ears.

The feeling of falling into the abyss rose again in He Ao's heart.

This is the true form of Rhodes, the true form of a B-level transcendent subordinate to the gods.

The body of this monster seems to be a giant snake covered with pitch-black scales. It entangles itself round and round along the pointed towers, and then raises its triangular head with webbed scales on both sides, condescending and indifferent. Green vertical pupils stared at He Ao.

He Ao did not answer Rhodes, but brought up the Shadowless Sword again.

He tried to sense the Verola, and with the appearance of Rhodes' body, the blockage of the surrounding space has disappeared.

This means that Rhodes has gathered all his strength to deal with Hoo.

It also means that He Ao can use some other props.

What the building just blocked was not just the space, but also blocked other forces and lives from entering. Rhodes made it a completely closed ceremony place. To directly destroy this ceremony space from the outside, the price required is very big.

And now, with Rhodes releasing this space by himself, He Ao can also use his own power unimpeded.

In fact, He Ao had already expected that the human form of Rhodes just now was not his real body, because that human form 'Rhodes' has only one energy core, which is different from Rose and the puppeteer He Ao met before.

Only shadow beings have only one energy core due to their special body structure, but obviously, Rhodes in full body doesn't need to worry about this problem.

He Ao looked up at the huge monster occupying the entire roof.

Under the vision of divine consciousness, he was a little dazzled by the densely packed energy cores.

But the good news is that there will be obstacles between the actions of the giant snake in front of him, which proves that the damage He Ao left on the humanoid Rhodes before will also affect Rhodes' body.

Obviously, after He Ao entered this building, Rhodes had a basic judgment on He Ao's strength. He felt that He Ao could be eliminated only by human form, so he used the power of the body to block the space and prevent He Ao from using The power of the Verola.

But it turns out that his judgment was slightly wrong.

The brilliance of the ritual circle under his feet became more and more brilliant, and the time left for He Ao was running out.

For Rhodes, no matter what method is used, as long as the ceremony is completed normally, it is his victory.

And He Ao's goal is to destroy the ritual circle.

So instead of attacking the giant snake, he directly raised his sword and stabbed at the ritual circle under his feet.

At this moment, he realized something, and suddenly dodged to the side.

The flickering black light passed He Ao's side, submerged into the dark night sky, and directly pierced another building not far away.

He Ao raised his head and looked at the snake head with its mouth open.

Immediately afterwards, a huge snake tail flew from behind and slapped towards the direction where He Ao was standing.

He Ao jumped and avoided the flying snake tail, but at the same time, the wound on his back was torn even more because of this violent movement, and blood spattered out.

Intense pain hit He Ao's mind.

But at this moment, the opened snake head had locked on He Ao who was in the air, and black light gathered in his mouth.

woo-

The roaring siren smashed into the space, and the speeding Velora rushed out of the void. He Ao reached out and grabbed the door of the Velora. train.

In the next second, black radiance came one after another, hitting the Velora's body that looked full of modernity.

The surrounding space squirmed violently, and the entire train trembled from this powerful attack.

But the attack didn't continue to fall on the Verola, and soon, the train entered the void, and the black light passed through the night sky again, opening another hole in the building behind.

"Troublesome stuff."

The giant snake opened its huge mouth and looked around.

This is why he wants to use his body to form a special ceremony site with the help of the power of the gods, and seal off the surrounding space. The extra-dimensional items like the Verola are too mobile, and once released, he can hardly accomplish his goal of killing He Ao.

But with the display of He Ao's power, his strategic goal has changed, from killing He Ao once and for all, to protecting the ceremony as normal. As long as the gods descend, all problems will not be a problem.

And as the Villora entered the space, the surroundings once again fell into a strange silence.

The giant snake looked around, but there was no trace of the Verola.

It looked as if Ho Ao had given up the attack and fled.

But at the moment when the giant snake's mind was relaxed, a quaint train appeared behind the giant snake's head, and He Ao's figure jumped directly onto the giant snake's head, piercing its skull with a sword.

Along with the shattering of the energy core under the skull, the giant snake neighed violently. It shook its head vigorously, trying to throw He Ao off.

But at this moment, the Verola in the sky did not disappear.

Landslide and tsunami!

Select the target, ritual circle!
The howling wind blew past He Ao's ears, and the trembling of the earth echoed throughout the world.

　Later, ask for a ticket at the beginning of the month.
