Chapter 187 Promotion to Level 3!

The City of Azure Sky.

As the seawater poured back from the abyss in the center of the island and rushed up to the sky, the eyes of all the professionals were focused there.

In particular, when the spirituality that pressured the world appeared, all the fourth-level professionals knew the identity of that person - Azure Sky Leader!

In the entire Azure Sky, except for Azure Sky Leader, no one else has reached the realm of legend.

Although this spirituality is different from the pure wind spirituality in the legend and is slightly turbid in perception, it does not affect the professionals' judgment of its identity.

The appearance of Azure Sky Leader also made the fourth-level professionals on the island realize that the changes in Azure Sky today must be related to the Azure Sky Leader whose spirituality has changed.

None of those who can become fourth-level professionals are fools. Thinking of the "Azure Sky Saint Artifact Inheritance" that has been widely circulated recently, they don't know that they and others are blinded by greed and have become the "fish in the net" of Azure Sky Leader.

Now the magic circle covers Tianqingdao, and no one can escape. With the complete destruction of the third-level professionals, the next step is the turn of these fourth-level professionals.

Sadness, anger...

Various emotions are spreading, but in the face of the overwhelming power of the legend, they are too weak and have no room for resistance.

Just when they are desperate, they are surprised to find that the leader of Tianqing who rises into the air seems to be fighting fiercely with two opponents?

The turbid color formed by the interweaving of green and blue, and a pure green and a blood red, collide violently in mid-air.

Are they the other two legends?

Such hopes emerged in the hearts of the fourth-level professionals, but with the fall of the blood-red light and the dimming of the pure green light, their just-raised hopes were shattered...

At the junction of the outer city and the inner city, in the room of Yuewan Hotel.

Furenie and Cecilia looked towards the center of the island together.

When the blood-red light appeared, Miss Witch's heart jumped.

Others didn't know the identity of the Blood Red Spirit, so how could she not know?

It was Ryan who had left yesterday morning and had not returned yet!

Freni didn't know why Mr. Ryan had such a violent conflict with the owner of Tianqing Qingdao, Tianqing Leader, just because he went out for a simple time, but this was not the time to think about it.

Because, under the slash of the turbid sword energy, the Blood Red Spirit suddenly fell and fell into a dangerous situation.

"Cecilia, help me take care of the surroundings."

Time was running out, and Freni didn't even have time to say more. After leaving a word, she immediately closed her eyes and lightly tapped her slender fingers to her eyebrows.

Dark blue lines began to spread from the point where her fingertips landed, emitting a hazy halo like moonlight.

——

[Pseudo Artifact·Tianqing Sword]:... You have been recognized by the artifact sword soul and can control all the power of this sword!

The characteristics are as follows (due to the damage of the sword soul falling into deep sleep, some artifact characteristics cannot be triggered):

1. [Storm Power]: The attack of the Azure Sword comes with 100% armor-piercing damage (protective gear and shield-like abilities are all considered "armored units").

2. [Heavenly Color]: The attack of the Azure Sword comes with 100% wind attribute damage, and there is a certain probability that the enemy will fall into the abnormal state of "weathering" (weathering: the user's [spirituality] is damaged and the attack speed is reduced every second.).

3. [Wind Protection]: The movement speed, attack speed, nerve reflex speed and other concepts related to "speed" of the holder of the Azure Sword are increased by 50%, and when the enemy's attack hits you, there is a certain probability of immunity.

4. [Wind Shadow]: Wind is invisible and can transform everything. The Azure Sword can be superimposed with any weapon, so that the superimposed weapon has the attributes of the Azure Sword superimposed on the original attributes.

5. [Sky Blue Like Rainbow]: For those who hold the Sky Blue Sword, the skill level related to "wind" is increased by one level (the highest level cannot exceed the Grandmaster level, and the effect of this skill depends on the quality of the Sky Blue Sword.)

6. [Freedom and Wind Pastoral] (Mysterious feature, this feature cannot be triggered because the sword soul is damaged and falls into a deep sleep): It can be viewed only after the sword soul is restored.

[This strange object contains a "large amount" of essence and spirituality. After absorption, it can improve the rank progress of [Nameless Ship Sculpture]. ]

ps: The essence of wind gathers into a magic sword, gentle and violent, free and pastoral, listen, that is the gentle singing of the wind.

——

The prompt of the panel appeared in front of him, feeling the vigorous power in his body, Ryan did not have too much joy in his heart.

Noel...

For this girl who is both a teacher and a friend, his feelings are very complicated.

Although the prompt of the panel has clearly mentioned that Noel is not dead, but fell into a deep sleep due to excessive damage

However, the words of "burning the origin" from the Tianqing leader made Ryan particularly concerned.

When Furenee carved the "Dark Moon Demon Pattern" for him before, she only consumed a certain amount of origin and became weak for a long time. Now, Noel directly burned the origin...

I don't know how long it will take for her to wake up from this sleep...

"Huh..."

After exhaling lightly, Ryan raised his head and looked at the Tianqing leader in the air, whose pure blue patterns on his body disappeared and broke free from control. His eyes were as cold as frost.

The Tianqing leader, who had integrated the "Heart of God" and Durrand, was so powerful that he was far superior to him. Even the "Hegemonic Blood Film" was shattered by the Tianqing leader's sword energy sweep.

This means that the gap in strength between the two sides has reached a very scary level.

After the upgrade of the avatar, Ryan thought that his original body was almost as strong as a "weak legend" and had the ability to compete with the old Tianqing leader. But the problem was that the young Tianqing leader was close to the level of "senior legend". There was a gap of nearly two levels between the two sides...

Even though he was recognized by the "pseudo-artifact-Tianqing Sword" and his strength was greatly improved, Ryan still had no confidence in winning.

But, so what?

The spirituality around Ryan was burning like a flame, and the pale blue light was dancing on it.

"Oh... the same move, do you think it will work on me?" The Tianqing leader suspended in the air said indifferently, and countless blood-colored wind blades flew around him, forming a hurricane hundreds of meters high, tearing the earth apart.

The power of the blue, Ryan had used it in the last battle with the Tianqing leader, and also gained a huge advantage with it.

However, for the Azure Leader, the ability used once is not as threatening as before, and now he is not the old body before...

Ryan did not speak, but stepped forward.

Holding the [Crown Dragon Slayer Greatsword] superimposed with the Azure Sword, Ryan had an unprecedented experience as soon as he moved.

Unlike the greatsword made of monster materials, which only pursues pure solidity and heaviness, the Azure Sword, as a pure "pseudo-artifact" in this world, not only has characteristics, but also has a terrifying six characteristics.

Excluding the secret characteristic [Freedom and Wind Pastoral] that cannot be used because the sword soul is damaged and dormant, the remaining five characteristics are all very powerful.

And the first thing Ryan felt was characteristic three - [Wind Protection]: All concepts related to "speed" are increased by 50%.

The 50% speed increase is a rather exaggerated degree. In Ryan's perception, the world seems to have slowed down, and even the dust floating in the air is like a slow-motion movie, clearly visible.

Ryan knew that this was because he did not fully control the speed of the surge for a while.

This had a little impact on him, but it was not a big problem.

After all, he had already experienced faster speeds in his travels.

Like the wind and the shadow, Ryan rushed to the front of the Azure Leader in an instant, and the sword in his hand seemed to be slow but fast.

The wind whimpered, and the sword passed, leaving irregular thin lines of black air in the air.

The Azure Leader's eyes were always on Ryan.

Seeing that Ryan was recognized by the "pseudo-artifact-Azure Sword", he was extremely angry, but even if Zifeng's speed increased dramatically under the blessing of the Azure Sword, it was just comparable to his speed.

The gap between each small level between legends is much greater than people imagine.

The Haiyuan long sword was raised, and the five blood-colored eyeballs on the sword body blinked slightly, giving people an extremely weird feeling. The blood-colored wind blades spread as the long sword swung and slashed. When the Haiyuan long sword touched Ryan's great sword, hundreds of blood-colored miniature crescent-shaped sword qi were raised behind it.

"Clang——"

The great sword and the long sword collided, but the miniature crescent-shaped sword qi attacked Ryan's face at this time. The extreme sharpness, before it came to him, made Ryan, who was wearing a helmet and a mask, feel a sharp pain on his face.

The blood barrier rose up, blocking the crescent-shaped sword qi for a moment. On the other side, the face of the Tianqing leader changed slightly, because the skin of his right hand holding the sword was cracked and bloody, but this was only on the surface. Deeper in his body, the real burning of the blue flame and the "weathering" erosion of the pure green sword qi made him more and more uncomfortable.

"Damn it!"

Since the Azure Sword was promoted to a pseudo-artifact, the Azure Leader was unable to obtain the recognition of the Sword Soul and could not know the specific capabilities of the Azure Sword after the promotion. This collision immediately caused him to suffer a great loss.

Feature 2 - [Heavenly Color]: The Azure Sword's attack comes with 100% wind attribute damage, and there is a certain probability that the enemy will fall into the abnormal state of "weathering".

Feeling the tremendous power coming from the opposite sword, the Azure Leader shouted in a low voice, and a dazzling turbid light burst out from the Haiyuan Long Sword, shaking Ryan's sword up. Then, his movements seemed to be super accelerated. The Haiyuan Long Sword left a fleeting turbid light in the air, and the sharp blade had already cut less than one centimeter in front of Ryan's neck.

This sword was too fast and too urgent. Even with a 50% speed increase, Ryan had no time to dodge or block at this distance.

"Zi La!"

This was the sound of the Haiyuan sword piercing Ryan's forehead, but there was a crisp "ding" sound mixed in it.

Ryan's body, which was pierced through his forehead, turned into a phantom and dissipated, and his real body appeared behind the Tianqing leader without knowing when.

——Tianqing sword technique special sword technique·Water Moon!

In Ryan's eyes, the pure green light was as bright as the moon, and even the greatsword in his hand was stained with a layer of long green.

Since learning Tianqing sword technique from Noel, Ryan has been working hard to learn and practice.

On the basis of "mastery level", he walked a long distance, and then merged with the greatsword sword technique, so that [Walking Wind Slash], which could only be performed with a long sword, could be performed with a greatsword.

Now, with the recognition of the Azure Sword and the blessing of Characteristic Five - [Azure as Rainbow], his Azure swordsmanship has been upgraded from "proficient level" to "master level". He has also comprehended a new special sword skill - Water Moon.

——【Water Moon】: Swordsmanship is like a phantom moon in the water. When the swordsman takes a stance, he enters the "Water Moon" state, which lasts for 0.1 seconds. If the enemy's attack hits him during this period, the "Water Moon Phantom" will be destroyed, and his true body will be reflected behind the enemy, and the speed and power of the next slash will be increased by 100%.

The bright pure green light and the blue flame merge together to form a magnificent color.

The speed of the Water Moon slash is extremely fast under the blessing of sword skills. Even the Tianqing leader cannot respond.

"Dang——!"

The big sword broke through the wind blade protection on the surface of the Tianqing leader and slashed into his neck. However, the touch sent back was not flesh and blood, but a solidity that was almost like alloy.

With a crisp buzzing sound, the body of the Tianqing leader was chopped off to the ground, creating a terrifying deep pit with a radius of more than ten meters.

In the smoke and dust, the leader of the sky blue twisted his neck. Under the torn skin on the side of his neck, there was not the flesh and blood of a normal human, but a sticky, wriggling black substance.

Ryan fell to the ground and looked at the neck of the leader of the sky blue with cold and solemn eyes.

Can this still be considered a human?

"Hehe..."

The corner of the mouth of the leader of the sky blue opened a hideous arc, starting from his chest, and spreading black lines, which was a sign of the complete fusion of the body and the heart of God.

His spirituality further climbed, and the spiritual pressure like the abyss and the prison made the green light on Ryan's body tremble continuously.

—— Senior Legend!

"It's worthy of being a divine weapon. Even if it's just a pseudo-divine weapon that hasn't completely transformed, you, an ant, have the ability to hurt me."

The head of the Tianqing leader turned straight little by little: "I have recovered a little bit of strength... The real battle has just begun now, hahaha!"

Amidst the rampant laughter, the figure of the Tianqing leader suddenly disappeared in Ryan's pupils.

Above!

The sense of crisis in his heart made Ryan look up and find the position of the Tianqing leader, but the scene he saw made his pupils shrink suddenly.

The Tianqing leader in the air, holding the Haiyuan long sword in his hand, was surrounded by blood-colored wind blades flying around him, forming a semicircular blood blade with a radius of 100 meters, and then suddenly slashed down.

With the 100-meter semicircular blood blade as the center, countless tiny crescent blood blades attacked wildly, covering a space of hundreds of meters in radius, leaving Ryan no way to avoid it.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The power of each blood blade is enough to kill a fourth-level extreme professional, and there are more than a hundred such blood blades.

The ground sank several meters under the bombardment of the Tianqing leader, and the hundred-meter blood blade in the center cut a bottomless abyss.

Five hundred meters away, Ryan's face was slightly pale.

In order to avoid this attack, he used [Walking Wind Slash] and [Collision Attack (Blade Heart)] in succession, and then in an instant, he crossed a distance of hundreds of meters and rushed out of the attack range.

But before Ryan could catch his breath, the figure of the Tianqing leader had flashed in front of him.

The skeleton sword seemed to be an ordinary downward slash, but in the process of slashing, Ryan actually felt like he was deeply trapped in amber and unable to move.

He knew that this was because the speed of the skeleton sword was too fast, so fast that it exceeded the limit of his body's reaction, causing an illusion.

The blood barrier was propped up with the mind, but in the face of such a slash, the defense of the blood barrier seemed so fragile and ridiculous that it could not even resist for a moment. The long sword passed through and the blood barrier was shattered into pieces.

After fusing with the "Heart of God" and being promoted to "Senior Legend", the strength of Tianqing Leader has been greatly improved. With the blessing of qualitative spirituality, his speed has reached an extremely terrifying level.

Blood light exploded, [Special Sword Skill·Defense Collision] was activated, and Ryan's "Blade Heart" was exhausted after fighting with the Deep Sea Diver and Tianqing Leader in succession. He could only use this simple version of the sword skill.

However, even the "Hegemonic Blood Film" blessed by the Blade Heart was easily shattered by Tianqing Leader, let alone the current basic version.

The Haiyuan Long Sword continued to move downward, and the propped-up "Hegemonic Blood Film" seemed to be non-existent, and was shattered into countless blood-colored light spots, and could not even stop the Haiyuan Long Sword for a little time.

"Goodbye..."

The corners of Tianqing's mouth were filled with a strange smile, and there was greed in his eyes.

He had coveted Ryan's body for a long time. If he could devour such a special body and use it for himself, his chances of breaking through to the demigod level would be greatly increased!

However, just as the Haiyuan sword was about to pierce Ryan's forehead, a dark blue light bloomed at Ryan's forehead, like a blooming flower.

At Ryan's forehead, the dark moon magic pattern that had disappeared at the beginning reappeared, and at the same time, a slender figure appeared in front of Ryan.

Fluffy and soft witch hat, white and blue gradient dress.

The dark blue light, with some mysterious fluctuations, made Tianqing's eyes appear dazed for a moment.

To be precise, it was not Tianqing, but the "Heart of God" in his body, which showed abnormal beating stagnation under the illumination of the dark blue light.

"Puchi——!"

The sound of penetration rang out. Even though the body stopped due to the abnormality of the "Heart of God", the sword energy carried by the Haiyuan long sword in the hands of the Tianqing leader still easily penetrated the girl's weak body.

She was only a second-level witch, and even though she was much stronger than the professionals of the same level, she could not withstand even the aftermath of the legendary power.

The dark blue light spot shattered in front of his eyes, and Ryan's pupils suddenly shrank, and his heartbeat stopped.

The sound beside my ear fell into absolute silence, and everything in front of me lost its color, leaving only the broken body in the dark blue light.

"Tick-tick--"

It seemed to be the sound of raindrops falling on the lake and rippling the surface.

The recovered Tianqing leader wanted to continue to stab the long sword in his hand, but was blocked by a layer of translucent shield.

The seemingly thin shield had a terrifying protective power. Even if Tianqing leader exerted further strength, he still could not create any ripples on it.

——This is the shield of [Shelter], and it is also an invincible shield.

Ryan stretched out his hands stupidly, wanting to hug the girl in front of him, but his raised hands only penetrated countless scattered dark blue light spots.

After seeing that the blood barrier and the domineering blood membrane could not block the Haiyuan long sword at all, Ryan realized that his "real projection" would have to be explained here.

The gap in strength between the two sides was too big.

After he, who was a "pseudo-legend", was recognized by the Azure Sword, he had the strength to face off against the "newly-entered legend" Azure Leader and gain a slight advantage.

But all this disappeared after the Azure Leader reached the "senior legend".

A small gap represents an unquestionable crushing state.

Fortunately, this body is just a "real projection". Even if it dies, it doesn't matter to his original body. The only thing that Ryan can't let go is that after the "real projection" dies, the Azure Sword in his hand will also fall here and be taken back by the Azure Leader.

But he has tried his best...

He can't beat him, he can't beat him, being weak is the biggest original sin.

However, when he saw the dark blue girl's body in front of him broken, Ryan's heart was broken.

I don't know when he started to adapt to the days with the witch lady by his side.

From the initial fear, to the subsequent dependence, and then the protection...

Although the time spent together is not long, he and her have experienced many things together, sharing weal and woe, honor and disgrace.

Ryan still remembers vividly that night, the girl stood at the bow, the moonlight was like a curtain, and whispered her wish to go under the golden tree.

And he made a promise to "go together".

But now, he can only watch the girl shattered in front of his eyes...

"...Mr. Ryan, I'm fine." A familiar and hazy voice suddenly appeared in his ear, making Ryan's eyes widen.

"...Sorry to worry you."

"...That's my Dark Moon clone. Although it hurts me after death, it won't endanger my life..."

"...Go away..."

The girl's voice gradually became blurred, as if the power of the Dark Moon Magic Pattern was fading.

And all the dark blue light spots in front of Ryan also disappeared in the afterglow of the voice.

The joy of regaining what he had lost made Ryan's mind go blank. After a long while, he realized what had happened, and a little embarrassment appeared in the depths of his eyes.

He seemed to have reacted too intensely...

But it can't be blamed entirely on him!

The Dark Moon clone is no different from the real person, even the spiritual fluctuations are exactly the same!

When we meet again, I must "educate" the captain severely, so that she will not dare to scare me like this next time!

Thinking viciously in his heart, Ryan's mouth was full of a peaceful smile.

He raised his hand, feeling the vigorous and hot beating in his left heart, and looked at the frowning Tianqing leader outside the shield.

The invincible shield of [Shelter] lasts for three minutes. Even the power of "Senior Legend" cannot shake the invincible shield.

And this also gave Ryan enough time.

The ecstasy of regaining what was lost, the ups and downs, plus the throbbing in his heart when he was in the fluorescent blue abyss before...

Until now, Ryan finally understood what the "rare treasure" required by the "Greed Ritual" was - it was the most sincere emotion from the depths of his heart.

That was the bond he and Miss Witch formed unconsciously.

This is the "rare treasure" that belongs to Ryan alone!

The hazy heart became clear. After this incident, Ryan really strengthened his belief in greedily possessing this "rare treasure"...

The moment he realized this, the prompt on the panel jumped up in front of Ryan's eyes.
