The Advent of the Infinite King

These eight skills plus Kirito's two-sword style are all unique special skills, that is, only one person can obtain them.Just like Kirito's dual swordsmanship was achieved because he was the fastest swordsman at that time, the remaining several skills also have their own selection criteria.

It may be because Xie Chen's sword skills did not require extremely fast speed at the beginning, so he did not acquire the skill of the two swords, but now Xie Chen has acquired a skill that also relies on speed, the sword drawing technique.

After getting this skill, Xie Chen couldn't wait to try it out. Sure enough, he was a little surprised by the speed and feeling. It would be great if the skill in it could be brought into reality.With this in mind, Xie Chen has been practicing this skill continuously, not relying on Xi Fengfeng's assistance, but using his own ability as a reference.The result made him happy. When he felt that he was getting more proficient in practice, he discovered a new skill "drawing the sword" on his system panel.

Xie Chen was very satisfied, and even forgot the unhappiness Heathcliff had brought him during this period.Since you can take away your sword drawing skills, it means that other skills can also be taken away, so Xie Chen's enthusiasm for practicing sword skills suddenly increased, and he actively went to the front line every day to conduct strategies. It's just repeatedly contacting sword skills.

While Xie Chen was still practicing with the objects in the maze area, he received a message from the Raiders team member, "Leader, I found him!"

He didn't say who it was, but Xie Chen knew it in his heart, so he immediately replied: "Okay, I'll rush there right away!"

Xie Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a flash of excitement in his eyes, he finally found that person.In this grandma, his task is not without the slightest progress.Gradually, he became more and more sure that the person he was looking for was the lost swordsman, Brod!

The context of this story has been cleared up by him. Brod came from a long way back then, and he, who was originally a sword master, also gained a very high reputation in this land.

Then one day, he met an extremely powerful opponent. During the battle, it was recorded that they both fell and died together, but in fact he was only seriously injured and survived.The fragments of the long sword that Xie Chen collected before collapsed at that time.After recovering from the injury, he could no longer pick up the sword to fight, but his love for the sword was not lost at all, so he became a foundry again.When he was a swordsman, he was already a very good foundry master, but because his reputation as a sword master was too loud and he didn't tell outsiders, so few people knew about it.

And the blood blade was another sword he held in his hand at that time, the blood blade was a portable sword that had been with him in battle for a long time.At the last moment, the sword was soaked with his blood, and disappeared with the violent shock.Then Xie Chen got it by accident.

Chapter 220 Four Fighting 1

The current Brod was unexpectedly deep in a small village, and his identity to the outside world was a blacksmith.Xie Chen was really surprised that such an ordinary person was no different from any ordinary NPC here.

When he felt there, he glanced at Brod's name, only two simple words "blacksmith".Xie Chen twitched his lips slightly, and walked in with a faint smile, with a blood blade on his waist.

Brod, who was inside, saw Xie Chen coming in and said, "My guest, what do you need?" He saw the blood blade on Xie Chen's waist, his pupils shrank slightly, and then his face returned to normal.

Xie Chen didn't miss a single tiny detail, and then he said, "I'm here to find someone."

"Excuse me, who do you want to find?" Brod asked with the same expression.

Xie Chen said directly: "I came here to find you, the legendary sword master, Your Excellency Brod."

Did Brod hear his words? The movements of his hands stopped immediately, and after a while, he slowly wiped the sharp blade on his hand again, and said, "Brod? How do you know him? ,young people?"

At this time, his temperament is different from before, how should I put it?What he said just now is just an ordinary blacksmith, but now he looks like a blacksmith with a lot of stories.

Xie Chen smiled: "Isn't this obvious?" He reached out and took off the blood blade from his waist, held it in front of him and said, "You always know this, right?"

The tribal man stopped what he was doing, then stood up, sighed leisurely, and said, "I really know him." He looked up at Xie Chen's expression, then reached out to take the blood blade, he Caressing the blood blade with the palm of his hand, he said something like a half sigh, "Really, long time no see, old man."

And at this time, the blood blade seemed to have a spirit, emitting a slight light as if responding to his words.

Seeing such a scene, Brod laughed happily: "Hahaha, you really haven't forgotten me, old man."

At this time, Brod's temperament is completely different. Although he still wears ordinary clothes, has a beard, and thick calluses on his hands from the iron, but now he is full of A domineering temperament, from which it is not difficult to see the demeanor of the former sword master.

Xie Chen narrowed his eyes, then smiled, and said, "It really is you."

Brod took the blood blade in his hand and looked at it again and again, but a feeling of nostalgia and regret flashed in his eyes, and finally returned the blood blade to Xie Chen.

Xie Chen asked a little strangely: "Aren't you going to look at it any more?"

Brod shook his head and said, "The blood blade has found a new owner, and I'm already in the past. So," his eyes looked directly at Xie Chen, and he was radiant inside, "Young man, why did you come to me? what's the matter?"

Xie Chen was not oppressed by his truth at all, and said in a steady tone: "I just want to find you when I get up, and ask for advice." Of course, he couldn't say that he came to him because of a mission, but NPCs with this kind of mission They all have their own program settings, even if he says something casually, there will be a result, but the middle process may be much different.

Brod gave Xie Chen a fixed look, then suddenly smiled, and said, "It seems that the blood blade has found a good master, so in this case, it is also a good choice to hand over my inheritance to you. But in Before that, I have a request."

A flash of understanding flashed in Xie Chen's eyes, and he thought to himself, it really is so.Then he smiled, with a humble attitude, and said, "What is the request?"

Brod walked directly outside and said, "Fight with me."

Xie Chen raised his eyebrows, and followed him outside.

Xie Chen followed him to an open space not too far from here, and then started the battle.Before starting, Xie Chen took back the blood blade, and then took out his usual weapon.

Chapter 220 Four Fighting 2

Seeing his aggressive behavior, Brod said a little strangely: "Boy, don't you use the blood blade?"

Xie Chen said: "I feel that if I want to be his master now, I still seem to be a little unqualified, so I will use it after I defeat you."

A look of admiration flashed in Brod's eyes, he nodded slightly, and said, "In that case, then I won't be polite, let me see if you have the qualifications to be his master. "

In fact, why didn't Xie Chen use the blood blade?Because when he received the task of "defeating Brod", the name of the blood blade turned gray, and it read: "unusable state".That's why he changed into the weapon he usually used. In fact, he really wanted to use it. After all, the attributes of the blood blade are so good.But I didn't expect it to be like this in the end.

However, Xie Chen didn't think too much about it. For him, all weapons are similar, not to mention that the weapon in his hand is also a specially processed precious weapon, and its attributes are also quite good.

The two stood still, and Xie Chen clicked to accept the battle. After the countdown in mid-air ended, the battle between the two began!

Sword Saint Brod was full of fighting spirit at this time, and now he is not at all like Xie Chen learned that he is no longer good at fighting, and now he is full of sharp fighting spirit, an ordinary The long sword seemed to have come to life in his hand, it was extremely flexible, and it drew streaks of silver light.His sword is wide open and closed, full of the air of a king. When Xie Chen fought with him, the fighting spirit in his body was also aroused. He really hasn't met such an opponent for a long time.

The two fought together, with light and shadow everywhere, and the sword in their hands had turned into halos of light, so fast that they couldn't see the entity clearly.But it was also during the struggle with Bubrod that Xie Chen discovered some clues.The current Brod seems to be lacking in physical strength. Although the sword in his hand is still sharp and his will to fight is still firm, Xie Chen can find that his physical strength is actually a little weak, but with his exquisite sword moves And with his incomparably rich experience, he will be able to fight Xie Chen in the future without falling behind.

A hint of excitement flashed in Xie Chen's eyes. To be able to fight against him for so long is really a good opponent, and he is worthy of the title of sword master back then.This is still his state after he was seriously injured. Xie Chen now wants to see what the Juggernaut looked like when he was at his peak. , The current Xie Chen didn't use his own skills, even if he added state, he just relied on his sword skills to fight Brod.I don't know how long the time passed, maybe 5 minutes or 15 minutes, the two of them stopped fighting tacitly after a fight.

"Young man, you are really good." Brod stood where he was after the battle.There was a faint smile on his face.It's just that his face seems a little wrong now, and he has become too pale, "Ahem, you are much stronger than me back then. Now I can rest assured that I will hand over my inheritance to you."

Seeing Brod's somewhat abnormal expression, Xie Chen frowned slightly, and then said, "What's wrong with you?"

Brod waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, ahem, come here, kid, I'll give you something."

Xie Chen stepped forward and stretched out his hand, Brod took something from there.Xie Chen took a closer look. It was a box. It looked very simple in appearance, but he couldn't find where the opening was. The whole box seemed to be a whole.

Xie Chen looked up at him, and then he said: "This is what I have summed up over the years, maybe it can be called my inheritance. I hope you can learn what is in it and let them May reappear in this world one day."

After Xie Chen listened to his words, he was silent for a while, and then said: "You are now..." There was worry in his eyes.

Brod saw it clearly, he said with a smile: "I have gained enough in this world, and I have waited until now just because I am not willing to lose my inheritance of those skills. Now I can meet someone like you The inheritor, it can be regarded as fulfilling his wish, and the battle I fought with you just now was not in vain."

Chapter 220 The Fifth Inheritance Ends

After listening to Brod's words, a guess appeared in Xie Chen's heart. Brod fought with him just now, he must have used some method to display such strength, and this method will inevitably cause physical harm. It's very big, as you can tell from Brod's current appearance, it's completely different from the previous appearance.

Xie Chen nodded and said, "I will definitely learn all these sword skills."

Brod smiled gratifiedly, and said to Xie Chen: "It would be the best if you can think like this. I believe you can do it. After all, if you can find me, it already shows your talent in swordsmanship. Yes, in the end I have nothing to give you, come, give me the blood blade."

Xie Chen heard the words, without the slightest hesitation.He took out the blood blade and handed it to Brod.

Brod took out the blood blade, sighed, then slowly pulled it out of the scabbard, looked at the faint brilliance on it, and stretched out his hand to caress it.As the palm brushed against the blade, a faint bloodstain was left behind.Then the bloody light flashed, and then disappeared.Brod returned the blood blade to Xie Chen, and said with a slight smile, "Okay, now, I will officially hand over the blood blade to you. Do the work I just did."

Xie Chen raised his eyebrows, but he didn't ask any questions, imitating what Brod did just now, brushing lightly on the edge of the blood blade.As soon as I touched it, I felt a faint chill, and the sharp blade directly cut through Xie Chen's finger, leaving a tiny bloodstain on it.

Xie Chen's fingers felt a little tingling, but it didn't matter to him. He was more concerned about the changes in the blood blade.Brod couldn't have let him do this for no reason.

Then under Xie Chen's gaze, the blood blade didn't seem to have any special changes, except that the brilliance on the sword body was more restrained.But when Xie Chen checked the attributes of the blood blade, he found a difference.Compared with before, the attributes of the blood blade have increased a little, and the subsequent state has become bound.

In this way, it shows that the blood blade really belongs to Xie Chen first.It seems that the current state of the blood blade is truly unsealed, Xie Chen thought to himself, looked at the blood blade with satisfaction, then retracted it into the scabbard and hung it on his waist.

After Xie Chen left, Brod stood where he was, his body seemed to be even more stooped, but at first glance, his body seemed to be still straight.Xie Chen could tell that Brod had passed away not long ago, but he didn't say anything, just bid farewell to Brod and left there.

Brod gave him the feeling that he was a real person with his own charisma. When he saw him, Xie Chen would sometimes forget that he was just an NPC, but this kind of NPC is also unique. He died. will not appear again.In his opinion, it is just a task-related NPC, but Brod's experience in it can be regarded as a real life.

Xie Chen lowered his eyes, dispelled the faint emotion that was in his heart, and then returned to his daily life.After returning to the headquarters, many people noticed that the sword on their captain's waist had changed again.

After today's incident, Xie Chen saw his hunger! A glittering golden light that had been hanging in the task bar was finally marked with the word "Complete" behind the task.Xie Chen decided to look at it for a while, and then closed the task bar. Now is not the time to be emotional. Although he is used to this task that will exist at any time, after it is really completed, there are other reasons why he is happy when he comes out. unknown feeling.But the more important thing now is not how his mission is going, but the upcoming strategy battle of the 94th floor guard boss.

Xie Chen vaguely remembered that Heathcliff's original plan was to announce his identity at this level, and he wondered if he would do so this time.But judging from his previous actions, it should be this time.

So Xie Chen has privately shared the news with Asuna and Tia Bellu. In this strategy battle, Heathcliff must be excluded, and Heathcliff must be prepared to reveal his true identity. What to do next.

They didn't know when Heathcliff would do this. It would be okay if it was after the battle was over, but if it was during the battle or before the battle started, it would definitely affect many people and cause displeasure. A little chaos, let their morale down.Especially if Heathcliff revealed his identity during the battle with ill intentions, it would be the worst possible outcome. Xie Chen and the others could all imagine what would happen then.

During this period of time, Tongren also had a vague feeling, but limited to Xie Chen's original agreement with him, he could only keep silent.After seeing Heathcliff's undisguised behavior not long ago, the worry in his brows and eyes became even heavier.

Chapter 220 Six Disguise

Xie Chen and the others had been looking forward to it in their hearts, but until the battle was about to start, Heathcliff did not make any move to reveal his identity. Xie Chen narrowed his eyes and silently thought, Heathcliff, what's the best time for you? It's best not to do such a thing at a critical moment in the battle, otherwise, he will be really unhappy.

From the beginning of the battle, Xie Chen's attention has been divided partly on Heathcliff, to see when he will choose to announce his identity, or maybe not.

Asuna and Heathcliff were as nervous as him. After Xie Chen told them today, they have not let down their vigilance.But fortunately, until the end of the battle, Heathcliff had no intention of declaring his identity, but the small holes in it were made one after another, and his position in the battle became more and more peripheral. , He seems to have forgotten to command many times. Fortunately, Xie Chen's main command right now is here. Heathcliff's actions don't have much influence.

Perhaps it was because of this that his current attitude was like that of a bystander, hardly confronting the boss directly, and more focused on watching the whole battle.

Until the end of the battle, everyone's faces were full of unstoppable joy, but there were still some strange factors spreading in this atmosphere, and soon, their faces were full of joy. It was no longer the expression just now. Affected by the people around them, they gradually calmed down and looked around strangely.

Heathcliff stood there at this moment, with his back to Xie Chen, first laughed out loud, and then the laughter became louder and louder, and in the end only his voice could be heard in the entire hall.

Xie Chen narrowed his eyes, and a premonition appeared in his heart. His eyes met Asuna and Tiabellu's, confirmed the thoughts in his heart, and then slowly took two steps forward, gently He said softly, "Captain Heathcliff, what's wrong with you...?"

It's not loud, but everyone can hear it clearly.Heathcliff's laughter gradually stopped after this sentence, he turned around slowly, looked at Xie Chen with a somewhat strange gaze, and said: "The devil...is really a good name. , Isn’t it strange that the warrior who was supposed to fight against the Demon King gave such a name? What do you think?” He looked around and asked.

The others all looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Heathcliff's behavior was really strange. Seeing the serious expressions of the people on Xie Chen's side, there was a faint feeling in their hearts. Uneasy emotions.

Xie Chen narrowed his eyes and said directly: "Captain Heathcliff, what is my name is my freedom. And what do you mean by saying this now?"

Heathcliff laughed as if he heard something funny in reality, "Your Excellency the Demon King, don't you know what you are asking? Didn't you already guess what I want to do? Otherwise, you wouldn't be staring at me all the time." It's been so long."

As soon as Heathcliff's words came out, many people started whispering. They felt particularly strange about the conversation between Heathcliff and Heathcliff, and at the same time felt that something big was about to happen.

Xie Chen stared at him for a while, then suddenly laughed, and said, "You are right, I guessed it before, so, now you have decided to take off that ridiculous disguise?"

camouflage?As soon as the words came out, the people around them became suspicious. Captain Heathcliff's disguise?What does it mean?Judging by Xie Chen's attitude, it must not be a good thing. Many of them frowned and looked at this side with worried faces, while others looked at this place with a hint of interest. Lone Ranger, if something happens between these two top guilds, as long as it doesn't affect them, they are very willing to watch the fun from the sidelines.

Heathcliff smiled, then withdrew the expression on his face, and looked at Xie Chen with undisguised admiration, but it was different from half of the eyes, and there was an added meaning of looking down. , as if looking at a particularly outstanding one among a group of dolls.

Xie Chen was very upset about his compromising gaze, and this emotion was brought to the surface without concealment.

He looked at Heathcliff and said directly: "Since you have decided to oppress, then don't procrastinate."

Heathcliff smiled. At this time, the people around him had dispersed at some point, except for the members of his guild who were still following him, but looked at Xie Chen with unfriendly eyes gaze.
