Arknights is too real, right?

On the road outside Londinium, Hongdao got out of the car resolutely without any further explanation.

Unlike the south, the north had already begun to feel cool at this time. Walking off the road, Hongdao walked alone in the wilderness of early autumn.

At a certain moment just after leaving the city, while driving, he accidentally noticed a person standing in the wilderness. Then, his keen sixth sense captured an inexplicable thought.

There was a special emotion floating in the air, not a cold killing intent, but a persistent fighting spirit.

At the bottom of the road, Red Knife returned to Londinium City step by step.

In sight is the city wall divided into two. At this time, the position of the city gate has been changed, and the entrance is directly opposite the Guangming Avenue.

Soon, the target appeared.

Not far from the city wall that was once broken by Xia Feng's sword, a bleak figure wearing plain clothes stood with a sword in his hand.

Staring at this man's back, Hong Dao approached step by step, and invisibly, he was enveloped by a huge sense of oppression.

Hong Dao did not deliberately hide his aura, but in the face of his approach, the man did not react at all. Until Hong Dao was less than five meters away from the man, he still did not turn around.

With his back to the red knife, an arrogant voice floated in the wilderness wind.

"Did you split this city wall?"

Hong Dao narrowed his eyes.

"no."

"Then do you know the person who split this city wall?"

"It's a friend of mine."

"Oh, then I want to ask, where is he now?"

With Hong Dao's character, he would never talk so much to a stranger. The reason why he was so abnormal at this moment was because he sensed a dangerous signal in this person's aura.

"Before asking other people questions, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"

In the wilderness, this strange man in plain clothes slowly turned around.

His black hair is tied back, and he is wearing a loose dark blue gown. On his head are ghost tribe's horns, and at his feet are a pair of wooden clogs.

Judging from the face, this man is neither young nor old, about 30-40 years old, with a simple and unpretentious appearance, just like his simple exotic appearance.

However, the huge pressure brought by just a turning movement made Hong Dao unconsciously reach out to the long knife at his waist.

The middle-aged man held a spike of grass in his mouth, and the handle of the knife he carried was engraved with the crest of a cherry blossom.

"My name is Sakura Wulan, and I am an idler who travels around the world."

Ying Wu Lan, Hong Dao had obviously never heard of this name, and it was not an unfamiliar name that he cared about at this moment.

"Why are you looking for someone who split the city wall?"

"Oh, no special reason, I just passed by here today and found something that interests me."

Hong Dao's eyes gradually turned cold.

"What would you do if you found that person?"

Sakura Wulan smiled slightly, and there seemed to be a hint of expectation in her voice.

"I wanted to beat him, that's all."

Sakura Wulan's attire is obviously not that of a high-ranking official, but that of a warrior from a foreign country.

In the country of Victoria, the status of people who specialize in martial arts is not high. If you stand on the road and say, "I want to challenge XXX, I want to defeat XXX to prove myself," you will probably be persuaded by the uncles and aunts passing by, "Young man, If you have this free time, it is better to find a job and get ahead."

Victoria is different from Dongguo, but Hongdao is not from Victoria, he is from Yanguo. Being from Yanguo, he immediately understood the meaning of this sentence.

"You said defeat him?"

Sakura Wulan's voice was very ethereal.

"Yes, defeating the strong person in my mind is my goal in life."

"Are you going to kill him?"

"Oh, the real victory or defeat is not based on life and death."

Ying Wulan looked sideways at the cracked city wall, as if he imagined a shocking scene that had happened on this land in his mind.

"I want to defeat him, not by taking advantage of him, but by openly challenging his strongest state, whether physically or mentally, and defeating him head-on. In order to promote this duel, I will do whatever it takes. This is my practice. "

It may sound contradictory to do whatever it takes for an upright duel, but Hong Dao seems to understand what this person is obsessed with.

"Uh-huh!"

The long knife at the waist was slowly unsheathed, and the sound of the red knife was heard.

"I want to challenge that person, but I don't know if you have the qualifications."

"What are the qualifications?"

Hong Dao's eyes showed rare seriousness.

"Victory over me first is your qualification. Otherwise, there is no need to disturb the peace of this country. After all, this is something he is willing to be forgotten and wants to protect."

Even if you see such an exaggeratedly cracked city wall, you still want to challenge it. This is no longer a matter of courage, but a matter of extreme confidence in your own strength.

Hong Dao asked himself that he couldn't do this. If it was to protect his companions, he would stand up and face them, even if it meant mountains of swords and seas of fire.

But just for the so-called challenge, he is not so overconfident.

However, the mysterious man in front of him dared to stand under the city wall and say such big words, which made him feel tempted.

Seeing Hong Dao's actions, Ying Wulan was not surprised at all and just looked at him indifferently.

"I don't care about your so-called qualifications, but I never refuse other people's challenges. It can be seen that you are also a master of swordsmanship."

Hong Dao is not a person who talks a lot and talks a lot of nonsense before starting a fight.

The palm on the handle of the knife tightened instantly, and the figure flashed. The super explosive power made him appear in front of Sakura Wulan in the next second.

"Ding!"

There was a crisp sound of close combat, Ying Wulan's figure remained unchanged, he pulled out half of the saber with one hand, and blocked the thunderous slash of the red saber. The whole movement was calm and composed, even the grass spike in his mouth was intact. Not moved.

Against the edge of the red knife, Ying Wulan's arrogant voice came from her mouth.

"If that's the case, I seem to think highly of you."

Half a year has passed since the end of the Dark Ages. Victoria has won peace, but why the peace came, everyone in Black Feather knows very well.

Even if that person is gone, peace still needs to be protected.

Over the past six months, Hong Dao has not been slacking off for a moment. Every night, he thinks that if he had been stronger at that time, maybe Xia Feng wouldn't have to dig out his right eye with his own hands.

"Zi~"

Heat waves gradually rose from the blade of the red knife, and even the weeds under his feet showed signs of being burned.

He raised his head and used the Origin Stone skill under the hood of the red sword. His eyes were red, and illusory flames emerged from the long sword.

"Ding!"

The long knife was lifted up, and the force like a giant cauldron lifted Ying Wulan in front of him.

Holding the knife in both hands, the red knife at this moment directly adjusted its state to its peak.

After landing, Ying Wulan immediately felt the waves of heat emanating from the red knife, and his eyes showed seriousness.

Hong Dao's strength at this moment has undergone a qualitative change compared to half a year ago, and his exclusive Origin Stone skills have been upgraded to a higher level.

He took a step forward, and the wild grass under his feet was instantly burned to ashes by the strong flames.

A low and hollow voice came from the mouth.

"Whether you think highly of me or not, defeat me first, and then talk about the man who split the city wall."
