The Death List Novel - Chapter 282
Chapter 282 The Heart of the Strong
Seeing Monroe rushing towards Qin Lun, Yin Shi’s eyes lit up. Without hesitation, she pulled the reins and stopped the young girl’s martial artist with a charge.
The female knight chose to help Qin Lun. Actually, she had a chance to escape from the battlefield at this time.
For Monroe, the Kung Fu girl had already vaguely sensed that the battle between her and the female knight was most likely provoked by a third party, such as the gunman who had suddenly appeared in front of her.
However, to the female knight Yin Shi, she still thought that Monroe and the others had come to find her. After all, she had stayed in this area for a long time, and her fighting style was more dependent on the terrain. It was normal for her to be spied on by other experts.
She had to consider that if Qin Lun accidentally bumped into the battle between them, she would take the opportunity to escape. Then would this shooter be scared away by Monroe? If the young girl scared away the shooter and continued to chase after him, then no one would be able to help her anymore.
Although she could give up her mount, take off her armor, and immediately find a place to hide, this was equivalent to giving up the advantage of the terrain. If the other experts were to find out, the chances of them dying would be greatly increased, and it would be better to defeat Monroe with the Gunners.
Most importantly, Yin Shi was not afraid that the gunman would lose face afterwards. She wore strict armor and was born to restrain her profession as a gunner.
A smile appeared on Qin Lun’s face when he saw that the female knight had chosen to join forces as he had expected. The two female apostles in front of him were mentally well predicted, and almost every reaction was within his expectations.
“A trap? Is this gunman a hidden companion of the knight?” Seeing the female knight unhesitatingly join forces with Qin Lun, Monroe was both shocked and furious. The idea that the shooter was a third-party fisherman began to waver.
For so many days, the knight had occupied this area and had never seen her join forces with the other apostles. However, this was only a feeling after all. When Monroe passed through this area a few days ago, he had only observed it once or twice from afar. He did not know Yin Shi’s background.
Thinking about it now, it wasn’t impossible for the female knight to deliberately occupy this area in the open, lure the other apostles over, and then unite with the gunmen who were hiding in the shadows. Moreover, judging from the results of the battle, it was clear that they had benefited from this battle.
Her two companions each had three invitations. Although one of them had been snatched away by her, the female knight had also obtained another one. That was a total of 300,000 broken crystals.
“So what if they work together?” The veins on Monroe’s forehead twitched as he lowered his hands and a layer of black gas appeared on his face. With her body as the center, an invisible spherical force field spread out.
“Bang! Bang!” As soon as the two bullets entered the spherical force field, they suddenly disappeared into the air.
“Ding ding!” Monroe expressionlessly spread out his hands, and two white smoke bullets fell from his lowered palm.
In the distance, Qin Lun raised his eyebrows. This was the first time he had seen someone who could receive a light and dark burial bullet with his bare hands. Moreover, with his eyesight, he was unable to see Monroe’s movements clearly.
“What kind of martial skill is this?” Qin Lun’s face revealed a strange expression. He raised his hand and fired two more shots. At the same time, his eyes instantly turned into clockwork, wanting to see Monroe’s movements clearly.
“Ding ding!” The same thing happened again, Monroe casually blocked two more bullets.
However, this time, Qin Lun’s Eye of the Clock finally caught Monroe’s movements. When the bullet approached a certain distance, the Kung Fu girl raised her hands like a spring-loaded whip, catering to the trajectory and catching the bullet.
“This is fine?” Qin Lun couldn’t help but blink his eyes.
He had tested the initial speed of the light and dark mourning bullets. At this distance, the light and dark mourning bullets, as legendary guns, were at least three times faster than heavy sniper rifles. Monroe was actually able to receive three times the speed of sound with his bare hands. This was simply a miraculous skill.
“Residential circle?” A cold voice rang out in front of Qin Lun. The female knight was shocked and a trace of disbelief appeared on her face. “Be careful, she has comprehended the heart of a martial artist!”
“A warrior’s heart?” Qin Lun muttered in confusion.
“Just treat her as a Second Grade expert!” Yin Shi explained bitterly.
The Heart of a Martial Artist was the symbol of a Second Grade martial artist. After comprehending the Heart of a Martial Artist, one could only accumulate enough skills and naturally become a Second Grade martial artist. The female knight’s skill accumulation had actually reached the Second Grade, but she had yet to comprehend the Knight’s Heart and was still standing outside the Second Grade’s door.
The reason why Yin Shi had always occupied this area in the city war was because she did not move her nest. One of the reasons was precisely because he wanted to firmly grasp his knighthood and comprehend the heart of a knight. After so many days of fighting, she felt that she had already vaguely seen this door, only missing a kick from the door.
“This is a good opportunity. She should have just comprehended the Heart of a Martial Cultivator. Fighting with her will help me understand the Heart of a Knight. If this battle can survive, it should …” The eyes of the phoenix hidden behind the mask shone brightly. Facing the experts, Yin Shi’s heart was filled with joy.
“So that’s how it feels” Monroe clenched his fist, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and carefully experienced this moment.
“I still have to thank you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have broken through so quickly!” Monroe opened his eyes. A cold light flashed in his beautiful eyes, and he smiled lightly, revealing a mouthful of pure white teeth. “In return, please die!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl squatted down and shot towards Qin Lun like a cannonball. Compared to the female knight, the shooter was more of a threat to her and was her primary target.
“Don’t even think about it!” Yin Shi pulled on the reins and jumped up amidst the hissing of the mount. The spear in her hand lit up with a brilliant light, and countless spear shadows formed a huge and beautiful spear flower.
“Haha!” Monroe bent his left leg slightly, his right toe pointing in front of him, his right fist resting on his rib, his left palm blocking his chest. He stopped where he was and put on a battle posture towards the knight who was charging on horseback.
Qin Lun’s face was blank. He suddenly opened his eyes wide. Countless bloodlines burst out from his eyes. A third hand quietly appeared in his pupils. Rows of data fell from the center of the clock like a screen.
Zhan Qi drew a beautiful arc in the air and pounced towards Monroe like Mount Tai. The female knight’s face lit up as she spat out. A huge spear flower enveloped her opponent’s entire body like lightning.
Under the gaze of the Eye of the Clock, everything in front of him seemed to have turned into a slow motion projection. However, even though her movements slowed down several times, the female knight’s attack was still extremely fast. The huge spear flower was disintegrated into countless spikes with afterimages.
However, as soon as the female knight’s spear pierced into the invisible force field in front of Monroe, a spatial ripple appeared, as if it had fallen into the water and encountered heavy resistance.
Monroe’s left palm, which was guarding his chest, simply stretched out like a fly, accurately slapping the spear head of the knight and scattering the spear flower with a few “pa pa pa pa” strikes.
“Drink!” The Kung Fu girl’s eyes exploded with a bright light as she leapt high into the air, her left foot hacking down on the mount’s head like a battle axe.
“Yuyu!” The two-meter-tall cavalry screamed miserably as their front hooves softened and they knelt down. Sitting upright on the cavalry, the female knight was caught off guard. She immediately flew out of her inertia and met Monroe’s prepared right fist.
Dang! A loud, teething sound almost deafened Qin Lun. Monroe’s right fist was like a siege hammer, hitting the female knight’s chest, hitting the plate-armored knight in half.
“Bang!” The knight swept across the open space like a cannonball and crashed into a small tree the size of a bowl in the park. With a “creak”, the tree trunk snapped and the lush crown flew far away.
“Cough cough!” Monroe’s face turned pale as he covered his mouth and gasped for breath. A trace of blood slowly seeped out from between his fingers.
However, the girl quickly raised her head, a trace of pride appearing on her face. Under her feet, the head of the warhorse bloomed like a watermelon. Its brain was smeared on the ground, and the summoned beast’s body was slowly fading away. It was actually killed by Monroe’s kick.
“An elementary apostle can achieve this kind of power?!” Qin Lun sucked in a breath of cold air, and a storm surged in his heart. He didn’t even notice the blood and tears hanging in his eyes.
“It’s your turn now!” Monroe adjusted his breathing and suddenly turned his head. He looked at Qin Lun, who was hiding by the side, and slowly walked towards him.
Qin Lun felt his scalp go numb, but an uncontrollable excitement rose in his heart. The young man raised his hand and pressed it on the tree trunk beside him. However, he discovered that his fingers were trembling slightly, and a trace of bloodshed and madness slowly appeared in his eyes.
“Leave it to me. She’s mine!” Qin Lun’s heart rang with Joey’s crazy shout.
“Not yet, you … no, Joey!” Qin Lun’s breathing instantly grew louder, and his heart beat violently from his chest. The red light in his eyes gradually became as dense as blood.
“Huh?” Monroe suddenly frowned and paused. He looked at Qin Lun in surprise, “This is …”
The young man bent his body slightly and dug his fingers deep into the tree trunk. A low roar like that of a wild beast resounded from the depths of his throat. His entire body emitted a murderous aura that was akin to that of a ghost from hell.
“Haha, the Heart of Slaughter!” The female knight who was sitting under the tree trembled her hands and struggled to stand up. Blood gushed out of the cross rift of the mask like a fountain. “What good luck today!”
The plate armor on the knight’s chest was caved in, and there were spider web-like cracks printed on it. As she struggled to get up, countless tiny pieces of steel fell down, revealing a large hole.
Yin Shi shook her fingers, took off her helmet, and untied her upper body’s plate armor. However, the female knight’s swaying and slender body was slowly enveloped in a layer of milky white Dou Qi shield.
“Protective halo?” Monroe’s expression slowly became complicated as he muttered in surprise, “Knight’s Heart, she also broke through!”
