Chapter 1563 Old Rival
Of course, Joan will not forget the battle with "Wasp Girl" Jenny at the top of Mount Bailun last year.
Frankly speaking, at that time, his strength was much worse than that of Wasp, and he could barely resist the opponent's attack. In the end, he was unavoidable. He was stung by Wasp and infected with "Insect Virus", so he didn't die. !
As for the later blessing in disguise, taming the "worm-like virus" and greatly increasing its strength, that's another matter.
Now meeting this old opponent again, Qiao An also wants to prove that he is no longer the little mage who was beaten by the Wasp girl in the past.
With fierce fighting spirit in his eyes, Joan held the brass sword hilt and tapped the heel of his boots lightly to activate the spell attached to the flying wing boots. A pair of translucent "atmospheric wings" opened behind him, flying towards the sky that has become Jenny in bee-man form.
Joan didn't turn into a bee-man form for air combat as usual, mainly because he didn't want Jenny to know that he was infected with "worm disease" by her. , Injure morale before fighting.
What Joan is not good at is "talking", so he decided not to give the Wasp a chance to unilaterally output firepower, and silently activated the rune sword, and the brass hilt suddenly spewed out a ten-foot blue light blade.
Jenny was attracted by the strange weapon in his hand, and a pair of protruding compound eyes flashed a look of surprise.
"Little mage, are you going to fight me with this lightsaber?"
Joan nodded, and made a fencing gesture in the air.
"Ms. Jenny, please advise."
"What the hell are you thinking, kid? You're clearly a mage, but you're pretending to be a swordsman!"
"I have really learned swordsmanship." Joan solemnly emphasized, "Recently, I have been training every day."
"Haha! It's interesting, it's so interesting! Little Mage, I will teach you some lessons today, and let you realize how stupid it is to spend your energy on fighting methods that you are not good at!"
The Wasp unfolded two pairs of silk-like, light and transparent membrane wings, and flew towards him with a big laugh. The flaming knife in her hand slashed continuously, setting off layers of heat waves.
Qiao An was not affected by her ridicule, and regarded her as a worthy opponent, and focused on blocking with her sword.
In an instant, the two sides played against each other.
Qiao An was forced by the Hornet's wild sword skills to his left and right, and retreated again and again, concentrating all his energy on parrying the opponent's offensive, and had no chance to fight back.
After all, Wasp is a Druid who is better at melee combat, and Joan's swordsmanship, which has become a monk, really can't take advantage of her.
However, since Joan resumed his swordsmanship practice this year, the instructors he has faced on the training ground include Lieutenant Colonel Vasa, Brother Magny, Audrey, Holden, and Hylar. Ask Ted Pinkerton, which one is not a master with unique skills?
As far as the attainment in the field of sword fighting is concerned, none of the people who carefully instructed Joan is no worse than the Wasp, or even stronger—after all, she is not a pure warrior, and spiritual practice is the virtue. Ruy's main business.
Qiao An was indeed unable to gain an advantage in this sword duel. Fortunately, he was always beaten by martial arts masters during his daily training.
Although Wasp's flame knife was fierce, it wasn't enough to crush him in a short time.
The Wasp attacked several times, but was blocked by Qiao An with a slightly embarrassing sword move. I couldn't help but be deeply surprised by his tenacity and calmness in the battle.
"I really didn't see that your swordsmanship is decent. It seems that you have put in a lot of effort! Wouldn't it be good to have this energy to study spells?"
"Practicing swordsmanship won't take up my time studying spells, and it can also play a role in strengthening my body. Without a healthy body, how can I have enough energy to study spells?"
Joan answered too seriously, causing Wasp to sneer.
"If you want to defeat me, it's not enough to rely on this kind of fitness swordsmanship alone! Little mage, let me show you more exciting moves next, keep your eyes open and watch carefully!"
Joan couldn't help tensing up when she heard the words, and stared at the flaming scimitar in her right hand to see what trick she was going to use.
However, to his surprise, Wasp just made a feint with the scimitar in her right hand, and suddenly turned around and threw out the "swarm cloak". Tens of thousands of wasps turned into clouds, buzzing and flying towards him.
Qiao An quickly spread his wings and flew back, but he was still stung by the wasp several times, and the wound was swollen and burning. Fortunately, he has a special constitution to resist viruses, and the toxin contained in the bee needle has no effect on him.
Just when he was tired of dodging the chase of the bee swarm, the Wasp girl's triumphant laughter came from the opposite side again, and the sound reached his ears, arousing an ominous premonition.
There was a dense swarm of bees between the two, and Joan couldn't see what the Wasp was doing, but the magic fluctuations behind the swarm indicated that the cunning woman was casting a spell.
Sure enough, the curtain formed by the swarm of bees suddenly shook violently, and the Wasp passed through the swarm and appeared in front of Joan again. The swarm of wasps attached to her and formed a cloak again.
At the same time, Joan also noticed that the Wasp was holding a long whip with black and red stripes in her left hand in addition to the flame knife held tightly in her right hand.
The long whip wriggled like a snake, humming and roaring. Upon closer inspection, this long whip turned out to be made up of hundreds of yellow spring bees. It was not only a weapon, but also a living cluster.
A sly smile appeared on Wasp's bewitching face, and she suddenly slashed at her with a knife.
Qiao An quickly raised his sword to block, while silently reciting a mantra.
"Untúpa!"
As expected, the seemingly ferocious knife of the Wasp was just a cover. The real killing move came from the long bee swarm whip in her left hand. parasitic in his body.
A circle of translucent force field shields opened in time to protect Joan from the stings of Huangquan bee swarms, and at the same time block the Wasp's flame knife from the shield.
The 4-ring protective spell "Hidden Shield" only needs a flash of thought from casting to launching.
Thanks to this spell, Joan escaped unharmed.
Although the "Hazard Shield" is good, it is a pity that it can only last for six seconds. Joan must use this short time to try to save himself.
Just as he was hiding in the shield and casting spells hastily, the Wasp had already flown to him, probed over and turned her compound eyes, carefully observing the transparent shield between Joan and her.
She soon realized that the magic force field that made up this shield was rapidly disintegrating, a relieved smile appeared on her face, and she suddenly threw out the whip of the bee swarm, transforming it into a swarm of Huangquan bees, which attached to the surface of the shield.
The moment the shield collapsed by itself, the group of demonic insects from hell would pounce on the unprotected young mage immediately, penetrate into his flesh and blood, and turn him into a puppet controlled by the mistress of the hive.
