Pirates: Steel Chain Fingers

Chapter 24: 1 step ahead

On the east side of the battlefield, two swordsmen, a man and a woman, faced off.

The huge full moon hangs over the ruined Luozhong Village, and the night wind blows more urgently.

Wu Hongji pointed the tip of the sword of 'Red Siam' downwards and looked at the opponent in front of her slightly.

This is a tall man about 3 meters tall, about 30 years old, with short red hair flying like a flame. He was wearing a neat open-breasted blouse with loose trousers for ease of movement. His lips are slightly thicker, he has a short beard on his chin, his eyes are a little long and narrow, and there is an obvious scar on his left forehead. The man held a straight-edged long sword in his hand. The hilt was a large cross that was rarely seen in the West Sea. In the eyes of Wu Hongji, who was a swordsman, the whole long sword exuded an ominous meaning.

"I didn't expect to meet a swordsman in Xihai, and it's a rare female swordsman." The red-haired man said in a low voice: "I was rude just now."

He danced a sword flower, raised the long sword to the line of sight, and pointed the tip of the sword to the dancing Hongji: "Introduce yourself. Fleming, the former bounty hunter, is now under the command of Lord Moria. One of the four weirdos. By the way, I don't like the title of the four weirdos, and I am recruiting new titles recently. If you think of a suitable one, please let me know."

"No, you should continue to be your four weirdos..." Wu Hongji spit out a slot subconsciously, her face flushed slightly when she woke up, she coughed and said solemnly: "My concubine's name is Wu Hongji. , a swordsman from the country of Wano, who is currently Victor's partner."

Fleming looked at the 'Red Siam' in Wu Hongji's hand, and his voice was still low: "The knife in your hand is good. But you have to be careful, this one in my hand is a 'demon knife'. And... I am' Slay all 'ism!"

"Rampant tiger rebellion!"

As soon as the words fell, the gravel under Fleming's feet collapsed, and a reverse cassock slash from bottom to top slashed towards Wu Hongji!

But Wu Hongji is faster! Her figure is like a free-flying swallow, and she swam sideways to avoid the powerful reverse cassock cut, and then the 'Red Siam' in her hand turned into a cold light, and stabbed Fleming's chest at a tricky angle. .

Rapier · Thorns Bird!

"Hmph... Waiting for you! Taihu!"

Fleming had just experienced Wu Hongji's swiftness and speed. He had long anticipated the female swordsman's counterattack, and he did not wait for the bottom-up side slashing move. stance, and then a backhand slashed fiercely at Wu Hongji who was buried in front of her!

Wu Hongji's moves are faster! The 'Red Siam' Jianguang in her hand first tilted to the left, and then she seemed to be stepping on a swivel dance step, and the Jianguang drew a circle of elegant swivel light along the gyration of her body.

Sword Dance · Spinning Crane Song!

Clang! Clang! Clang clang! !

Fleming's ferocious 'Tail Tiger' not only failed to hit Wu Hongji, but was slashed back by her whirling sword wind that kept getting faster and faster. The strength of the previous blow was stronger. Is this woman borrowing the power of her body to rotate? Fleming guessed it, but there was no way to crack it for the time being, so he could only protect the long knife in front of him.

It was another crisp steel crashing sound with reverberation! The dance of grace finally came to an end, Wu Hongji's last whirling slash slashed Fleming back slightly, revealing a flaw, followed by a swift and natural cassock slash!

Mighty Sword · Griffin Hunting!

Just when the winner was about to be decided, a strange and unpredictable wave escaped from the long knife in Fleming's hand, and two hidden strange sword qi suddenly appeared on the left and right sides of Wu Hongji!

Wu Hongji was caught off guard and had to change her sword stance. She reluctantly used 'Red Siam' to push away the sword energy on the right. She tried her best to dodge but was scratched by the sword energy on the left. The blood instantly dyed the red kimono even more. Bewitching.

Wu Hongji made a few light back jumps to distance herself from Fleming, frowned at the knife in his hand, and tilted her head cutely—can this be considered a 'demon knife'?

Generally speaking, although the 'demon sword' is incomparably sharp, it is often accompanied by the side effect of 'obstructing the master'. She has never seen such a 'demon sword' that automatically emits sword energy to protect its master. Perhaps the other party referred to the 'demonist's sword' as the 'demon sword'?

Fleming shook his numb hand, put the long knife on his shoulder and said in a low voice, "I warned you just now, this is a 'demon saber', a 'demon saber'. You have also experienced the ability of the sword, it's very powerful, isn't it? But your style of swordsmanship is very special, it feels like a flying bird." He sincerely praised, if it wasn't for the 'misfortune' to show his power on the spot, he would have There is a real possibility that this woman was cut.

Wu Hongji cut off a piece of cuff and used it as a bandage to tie the wound on her left arm: "The swordsmanship of the concubine is inherited from the Heavenly Bird Guard Pavilion of the White Dance of the Country of Wano, the secret 'Flying Bird Sword', and the 'Hundred Flowers Zhenwu', 'Whale Gauntlet' and 'Cricket Gun' are also known as the Four Secret Legends of Wano Kingdom."

"...Flowers, birds, fish and insects?"

"It's the Four Secret Traditions! The Four Secret Traditions!"

At this time, there was a loud bang! Wu Hongji felt as if the ground beneath her feet had been overturned, the gravel rolled over, and there were irregular tremors everywhere!

Is it Victor? Before Wu Hongji could continue to guess, there was another loud noise! The ground beneath her feet was completely cracked, and huge blocks of rock with a large amount of mud were lifted up. With the deafening 'boom' sound, Wu Hongji suddenly found that Fleming on the opposite side had disappeared.

She rushed back subconsciously! The light figure just left, and the original position suddenly burst in the next second!

Fleming was in the air, and he was not annoyed when he saw that his sneak attack did not hurt Wu Hongji, and he swung a vertical slash. Red Princess beheaded!

"Tiger Evil Wind · Bite!"

Wu Hongji gritted her teeth and slashed her backhand with an inverse cassock slash to dissipate the strong sword qi that struck, and then turned over to avoid the strange wave of sword qi that appeared silently beside her.

"So what kind of 'demon saber' is this!" Wu Hongji muttered in a frenzy. Losing the opportunity, she could only keep her feet on her feet, jumping and moving quickly between the huge sloping rocks that were constantly lifted. From time to time, the violent sword wind smashed the rocks behind her.

"Caught you! Tiger Misfortune · Ghost Cone!" Fleming, who jumped into the air again, seized the opportunity, half curled his whole body and held the 'Demon Sword Misfortune' with both hands, and the tip of the knife was aimed directly at Wu Hongji directly below. , stabbed to the top of her head with the help of the momentum of whereabouts!

And Wu Hongji should have been completely unable to react in time, but she staggered her body like she expected the enemy to take the lead, and avoided this fatal stab without a shot!

Fleming didn't have time to be surprised, because Wu Hongji's counterattacks came one after another! She drew sparks on the rocky ground with the tip of her sword pointing down and then swung it up diagonally! The brilliant starlight, accompanied by the swift and gorgeous arc-shaped knife light, swept across Fleming's chest!

"Secret Sword Night Bird Flying!"

Fleming only had time to pull out the 'fake calamity' that pierced deeply into the ground, and was directly hit by this beautiful knife light. 'Misery' once again released several strange sword energy fluctuations to block Fleming's chest, but they were all shattered by this 'Night Bird Flying'! But this finally provided Fleming with a precious moment of opportunity. He jumped back suddenly and pulled the 'misfortune' to his chest, and then the violent collision of swords sounded!

Fleming spat out a mouthful of blood, and with a huge impact, jumped back again, jumping onto a huge rock block that was slowly tilting in the violent vibration. He clutched the wound on his chest that was almost deep to the bone, and stared at Wu Hongji: "...How did you dodge just now? That 'Tiger Misfortune · Ghost Cone' should have been stabbed from the blind spot of your vision. , you will never find out!"

Wu Hongji didn't answer Fleming's words, she looked at the distant battlefield, her beautiful peach eyes narrowed slightly, showing a hint of a smile, she said softly to herself:

"This time, the concubine is one step ahead, Perona."
