The petite black-haired girl, who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, was holding a two-handed sword that reached her chin when held upright, with a guard nearly two feet long and a blade two or three fingers wide. The proportions made her look very grotesque and absurd. But the seven or eight bodies around her, whose throats were cut or whose chests were cut open, told them the bloody truth... This guy is dangerous, extremely dangerous! The leading pirate retreated into the crowd. The large number of companions around him made him feel a little safer. After swallowing hard, he shouted to the people around him: "Everyone, don't panic! This little bitch is not a superhuman! She just knows some decent sword skills. If we hadn't been so careless, so many people wouldn't have died!" As he said this, he quickly turned his head and glanced behind him, only to see three or five pirates with bows and crossbows running up in a hurry. He immediately felt confident: "No matter how powerful she is, she is still mortal. Everyone, don't panic. The archer is here!" Church was the only righteous warrior among the thirty-odd pirates, but he was not the only extraordinary one. The little leader who was giving orders was a martial artist with a tempering skill. Before achieving mindfulness, there is no essential difference between warriors and ordinary people, except that their reaction speed and martial arts skills are better. However, after being exposed to many theories and practices of fighting, their eyesight is not to be underestimated. After just a few dozen seconds of "massacre", he did notice a lot of clues, and these details quickly calmed his panicked and frightened heart:
Although the black-haired girl in front of him looked invincible and like a killing god, judging from the speed and amplitude of the sword swinging and the degree of control over it with both hands, her strength, reaction speed and physical strength were still within the scope of "mortal". In order to facilitate fighting in indoor spaces such as cabins, pirates were mostly equipped with machetes, daggers, short swords and other swords with blades no longer than half a meter. When faced with a two-handed sword that was meters long in an open area like the deck, they were caught off guard and suffered from excessive recklessness... It’s not hard to understand! In short, she is not a superhuman, but just an ordinary person who has learned swordsmanship! At most, she is a skilled warrior! Although he found it hard to imagine how a kid who looked like a teenager could master such brutal, practical and efficient sword skills, and how he could kill so many people so calmly and indifferently... he was still just a mortal after all! Since he is still a mortal, it is not a big problem! No matter how powerful his swordsmanship is, it can't matter! A round of crossbow volleys will turn him into a hedgehog! While they were talking, the crossbowmen were already in position. Under the cover of several pirates, they drew their bows and arrows without saying a word, aiming at the figure and firing a volley of arrows! “Zheng!” “Zheng!” “Zheng!”… There was a loud trembling sound as the bow returned to its position, and four or five arrows flew straight out, heading straight for the black-haired girl. At this distance, there is no way that a battle-hardened pirate could miss the target! When the archers released the three fingers that were pulling the bowstring, the girl in the black cloak still held the sword without moving, neither dodging nor blocking. "It's done!" Upon seeing this, the leader stamped his heels excitedly, as if he had already foreseen the scene of the other party being pierced by multiple arrows and falling to the ground and dying. Although it is a pity to destroy such a lovely and attractive body, life is still important after all! When I become rich and powerful in the future, I will have all kinds of women. Besides, if that fair face is not scratched, it is not impossible to make do for a short period of time... "call!" Just as these messy thoughts emerged in his mind, the girl holding the sword suddenly moved. The time she chose to attack was extremely tricky: the arrow had not yet left the string, and even the feathers at the tail had not completely left the arrow rest. It would take at least one tenth of a second for the arrow to travel a distance of five or six meters and hit the girl, but at that moment the bowstring had already left the hand and the archers could not correct their aim. Then, the incredible scene before his eyes made the little pirate leader suddenly understand a truth:
To dodge a flying arrow, you don't need to be faster than the arrow. Just be faster than the archer. The girl instantly lowered her upper body, and moved in a zigzag pattern at a speed and agility that was close to the limit of what a mortal body could achieve, causing several arrows to miss the target! The archers’ shooting skills are indeed good, with four or five arrows aimed at almost the same position, but this also means that the opponent can avoid most of the flying arrows as long as they avoid one area! "Hold!!!" The leader immediately started cursing, but his anger could not suppress his fear, and extreme panic quickly surged up from the bottom of his heart. Because the black-haired girl was not just moving her body to dodge the arrows, she was also running towards him at a speed almost like a sprint, her dark brown eyes staring straight at him, obviously coming for him, the leader! It's only five or six meters. It would take less than a second if you sprint at full speed. Several archers would not have enough time to reload their arrows. He had to once again face off in close combat against this girl who had slaughtered seven or eight pirates by herself in the blink of an eye! Chapter 415: The Limits of “Mortals” (Part ) "Go! Damn it, come on! Kill her!!!" The huge fear and panic made him lose his composure. He ordered his men in the most severe tone to press forward to resist the girl who was like the god of death. At the same time, he waved the machete in his hand randomly and encouraged himself with hastily organized words: "She's just an ordinary person! She must be out of energy after fighting for so long! Don't be afraid! Push on! Push on! Push on!" The other pirates didn't know that the girl's purpose was to "behead" them. When they saw her dodge the flying arrows in a jaw-dropping way and rush towards them again, they thought she was going to fight ten of them alone. In addition, the leader's words seemed to make sense, so they were no longer timid, and their ferocity suddenly exploded, rushing forward in one go: "Go ahead! I don't believe that a dozen people can't beat a little brat!" "You dare to kill my brother, little bitch, I'm going to skin you alive!" "..." Amid the strange howling sounds, the dark crowd of pirates suddenly submerged the petite and delicate body. A little further away, the crew members of the Challenger were suddenly nervous. They also couldn't understand why the "true mage" Yao Lingwu would pick up a sword and engage in close combat with these pirates, but they had all witnessed his terrifying strength of killing seven or eight enemies with just one body. Now she alone has attracted the firepower of nearly half of the pirates, which instantly reduces a lot of the pressure on the crew. They have begun to gradually turn the situation around and there is a hint of a turnaround. If this continues, as long as Captain Mary can hold back the pirate leader, they may be able to fight back and capture these pirates! But now, the black-haired girl who called herself 1005 was being targeted by a dozen angry villains... Even if the swordsmanship she had just displayed was superb, it was hard not to make the crew members worried. If she unfortunately died, the chances of survival for everyone on the Challenger would drop sharply! Just when they thought that the wizard Yao Lingwu was going to cast a spell to counterattack, she picked up her sword and walked towards the oncoming crowd without fear! "She...she's crazy!?" "Damn it, isn't this girl a mage? Why does she always want to solve problems with a sword?!"
"Where are your fireballs and ice cones? Use them to hit them!" "..." The crew members who saw this scene all twitched their lips, but they were helpless and could only nervously cheer for this girl with a strange fighting style in their hearts: "No matter what, we must win... and survive..." Under the gazes of countless people, the black-haired girl suddenly raised her arm and held the one-and-three-meter-long sword horizontally at chin height, holding it with both hands, with her right hand close to the sword guard and her left hand tightly grasping the end of the counterweight ball. Then, with his right hand as the axis, he pushed hard with his left hand, and the one-meter-long sword blade began to rotate rapidly but extremely steadily, and the end even made a sound like a whistle breaking through the wind. The heavy and sharp sword turned into a tilted "windmill" at this moment, dancing and whirring. At the same time, she moved her feet flexibly, and her body rotated and moved steadily and regularly. For a moment, the sword light emitted from the sword blade merged into one, blocking every inch of space around her without any blind spots! And this "blade field" woven by continuous cold light... just crashed straight into the area where the attacking pirates were most densely populated. The two-handed greatsword, both in terms of its shape and the swordsmanship that suits it, is designed specifically for killing large numbers of unarmored or lightly armored units in open and flat areas. Especially when the target is armed with swords and short weapons, a swordsman who is proficient in the use of a two-handed sword is like a mobile fortress, and even approaching him is a fantasy. Besides, Qi Ji's mastery of two-handed swordsmanship is more than just "proficient"... "Ahhh!" "Uh-huh!" "Pfft-" In an instant, the sounds of flesh being cut, screams, wails, blood gushing out, and bodies falling to the ground were endless. Everywhere it passed was like a wheat field shaved by a scythe. A large number of pirates within a two-meter radius fell down. Qi Ji brandished a two-handed sword and charged into the crowd, stabbing straight towards the leader like a sharp knife. Her sword-dancing movements were wide and wide, and each one carried an irresistible and terrifying force. It seems rough and disorganized but is actually extremely coherent and smooth, like flowing clouds and water, full of unique rhythm and beauty. The offense and defense formed are seamless and impeccable. Seeing this, the pirates were all terrified. Facing this human-shaped meat grinder, how could they dare to go up and die? After leaving behind seven or eight corpses, they all retreated and evacuated, never daring to touch its edge again. In this way, there is no longer any barrier between Qi Ji and the leader. "No... Damn it, why are you running?! Go! Go!" He immediately started shouting like crazy, but no pirate who had seen the girl's power was willing to listen to his orders. After realizing the situation, the little leader ran away without a second thought. "Lord Church! Help! Help..." However, before he ran a few steps, a sharp and cold wind blew from behind. His expression froze and he turned his head slightly stiffly. What came into view was the figure of a black-haired girl in a cloak coming straight towards her! After all the bandits retreated and she escaped from the encirclement, she did not use the "Windmill" again, but picked up the sword and rushed forward directly. Perhaps because the sword in her hand was heavy and cumbersome, she did not run very fast. However, it was because the leader turned back that he missed the last chance to escape.
Under his horrified gaze, the indifferent black-haired girl put the hilt of the sword on her shoulders with both hands, raised the sword high, and made a posture as if she was about to chop from top to bottom. Even a layman who knows nothing about swordsmanship can intuitively tell that this is a "energy-storing" posture, just like a fist being pulled back as far as possible before striking out hard, in order to deliver that incredibly powerful thundering blow! When the leader turned around, the girl was already very close to him. The pink and delicate red lips moved slightly, and uttered a word: "Angry style." No hesitation, no mercy. The next moment, just as everyone intuitively expected, the arm raised high... was like a released bowstring, bursting out with huge power, accelerating the three-pound sword and leaving an afterimage. From top to bottom, he chopped down at the leader's head! "call!" It was the wail of the air being torn apart. This move, with its straightforward intention and principle, cuts through the sea breeze with the force of thunder! Although the swing was long and took more time to complete, the leader still had no time to dodge or block at this moment. So, he could only watch as the sword that meant unquestionable death... fell towards his head. "...fuck you." At the last moment, the pirate leader realized that he was doomed to die and suddenly made up his mind. He twisted his feet hard, turning himself around at an extremely fast speed to face the girl head on. He swung the machete in his hand towards her neck recklessly! This is equivalent to giving up all defense and just wanting to stab the girl! After realizing that he was doomed to die, he chose to exchange his life for another's! Seeing his reaction, the girl's face, which seemed always calm, was slightly stunned, as if she had not expected him to do this. At this moment, the leader's machete had been swung out, and the girl's sword had fallen from the highest point. Both of them had already shot their arrows and there was no turning back, and it was impossible to change their offensive. In other words... mutual destruction is a foregone conclusion! The girl who took the initiative smashed the sword on the crown of the leader's head. The irresistible force split his skull completely, and the momentum only weakened to the neck, shattering the violent grin into pieces. White brain matter and blood splattered everywhere, staining the clean face of the black-haired girl. The next second, the leader's machete also chopped off her slender and delicate neck. But the scene of being beheaded and body separated that people imagined did not happen. The lifeless hand chopped the girl's neck with the blade, then lost strength and let go, and the machete fell to the ground. Look at the fair skin on the girl's neck... It's completely intact, not to mention any scars, there's not even a trace of stain, as if what just cut it was not a blade, but a light leaf.
"……once." Qi Ji pulled the sword out of the leader's cracked skull, shook off the blood, bone fragments and human tissue hanging on the sword, and muttered for unknown reasons. "Whoosh!" "Beware!" The sounds of arrows breaking through the air and the crew shouting were heard at the same time, but before anyone could make any extra moves, a crossbow arrow pierced her back. And then... it fell to the ground without causing any damage.
