The Death List Novel - Chapter 284

Chapter 284 Success Belongs to the Persevering

“No, he’s not a martial artist. That should only be an ability to imitate! His moves and strength aren’t bad at all. He even imitated the charm of the Juhe Battle Axe by seventy to eighty percent.” Monroe wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly stood up, his thoughts spinning in his heart.

‘”Unfortunately, imitation is only imitation after all. My previous target was a large mount, and my strength points were a little scattered. If it was against a small target like me, I should concentrate my strength on the heel. If that’s the case, then that move just now should have injured my ankle …”

A hint of pity appeared in Monroe’s eyes. She was truly worthy of being a pure battle maniac. At this moment, the first thing he thought about was not his own safety, but the flaw in the enemy’s Battle Axe Leg Skill.

“Although this kind of imitation ability is terrifying, he still needs to calculate and analyze my martial skill before he can use it.” Monroe’s eyes lit up as he lightly pointed his toes and pounced towards Joey again. “Since that’s the case … I’ll let you see what a martial artist can’t imitate!”

When Joey saw Monroe charge at him again, a sinister smile appeared on his face. His left leg bent slightly, his right toe pointed in front of him, his right fist retracted to his ribs, and his left palm blocked his chest, assuming the battle posture Monroe had when facing the female knight’s charge.

“Humph!” Monroe curled his lips in disdain and rushed in front of Joey, kicking him like a whip. As soon as his taut calves got closer, ripples began to form in Joey’s circle of dwellings.

Joey sneered as he kicked up and blocked Monroe’s attack with his whip leg in the same position. However, the kung fu girl’s expression was calm. When she crossed her legs with the youth, she fell down like a spring. With a twist of his waist, he turned around like a whirlwind, and his other supporting leg flew up again, whipping towards Joey.

“Bang, bang, bang!” In an instant, the two of them were like brother and sister who fed each other moves, tangling together with the same leg skill.

“Isn’t that enough?” The mockery in Monroe’s eyes became even more intense. Suddenly, the whip leg accelerated again, circling around Joey like a small whirlwind. The young man seemed to have become a flower stamen. The whip legs that filled the sky surrounded him and bloomed a beautiful flower.

Juhe Kicking Skill-Tornado Thunderbolt Flower!

“Bang!” Suddenly, a gunshot rang out from the field. The shadows surrounding Joey’s legs suddenly retracted, and the kung fu girl jumped out of the ring with a somersault.

Monroe raised his hand and wiped off a bloody scar on his cheek. However, his expression did not show any anger. Instead, he revealed a trace of pride. On the other hand, Joey’s face was twisted and distorted. His head was covered in sweat, and his expression was ferocious as he gritted his teeth. His originally empty left hand also had a black [Devil’s Song].

Although the injured person was Monroe, Joey knew that the Kung Fu girl had found a way to deal with him. He could no longer defeat the female martial artist in a head-on fight.

Joey’s imitation ability was based on the Eye of the Clock combined with perception to form the line of space and time. In essence, the Eye of the Clock slowed down the enemy’s martial skills, then observed and analyzed the opponent’s skills from the line of space and time, and then imitated them.

At first glance, this ability looked very powerful, but in fact, there was a flaw. In terms of imitation of melee skills, it was weaker than Grant’s [Gift of the Clown].

Although the [Gift of the Clown] had a time limit, it could convert the basic attributes of the Laws Body and combine it with Grant’s combat talent to display a stronger performance than the original owner.

The imitation ability of the Clock Eye is based on the basic attributes and skills of the ontology, unable to simulate the incomprehensible laws of battle, beyond the limitations of its own attributes.

Back in the World War II world, Qin Lun was able to escape from Director David’s hands because Director David was unable to understand the laws of infrasound and light energy shotguns.

Now, although Monroe did not have Qin Lun’s ability to calculate, the Kung Fu girl was comparable to a wild beast’s combat instinct and could sense the weakness of the Eye of the Clock. She believed that Joey could not imitate agility-based high-speed kicks, nor did he have time to deduce the complex whirlwind kicks.

Monroe’s intuition was correct. Joey’s agility and melee combat skills were far inferior to those of a kung fu girl. He could imitate the simpler [Circle of Compatibility] in combat movements, but he could not imitate the complex leg skills based on agility. In the end, Monroe managed to break through the ‘Circle of Integration’, forcing him to use his spear to temporarily push back his opponent.

Although it was just a defeat, Joey knew that even if he simulated the Circle of Dwellings, he would not be a match for Monroe. Just as Qing Ming had been unable to defeat his spear fighting technique with his bow dance technique, his spear fighting technique was also unable to defeat an authentic melee martial skill.

This was a qualitative gap, and it had nothing to do with skill levels. After all, spear fighting was a close combat skill based on shooting. A martial artist who had already formed a conditioned reflex against danger. This kind of martial skill was like a child playing with a family. There was no threat from a long-range sniper.

“There’s no more!” Monroe laughed coldly, pointed his toes, and jumped up, kicking Joey.

Joey stared fixedly at Monroe, his eyes filled with unwillingness, but the blood in his eyes slowly faded away. “Qin Lun, you do it!”

The young man’s ferocious and twisted face quickly recovered its indifference. Qin Lun regained control of his body. Looking at the young kung fu girl who was already within reach, there was no surprise on his face.

When Joey took control of his body, he had already expected this result. This battle originally belonged to him. It wasn’t Joey. Monroe’s fighting style was Joey’s nemesis. No matter how murderous the [Decomposer] was, it wouldn’t affect a battle maniac like Monroe in the slightest.

Moreover, the kung fu girl was a true martial artist, and Joey, who liked melee combat, had no chance of winning. Joey naturally knew Qin Lun’s analysis. However, with his personality, if he didn’t give it a try, then he wouldn’t be a paranoid murderer.

“Bang!” Monroe’s flying kick was empty, and a black mist rose from where Qin Lun was, and he disappeared from where he was.

“Thief’s Shadow Skill? No, he must have used a high-grade magic scroll!” Monroe quickly reacted and jumped out of the black fog. He looked around vigilantly, but there was no nervousness on his face.

Apart from hunters, martial artists were the second type of combat profession that didn’t fear stealers. Their keen physical reactions allowed them to avoid sudden attacks from any direction.

“Hmph, if you can run, your companions can’t!” Monroe sneered and turned his head to look at Yin Shi.

“Damn it!” Yin Shi’s heart sank. After looking at it for so long, she could also tell that Joey was not the martial artist she had guessed earlier. She had only used an imitation ability.

However, she had originally thought that Joey would be able to hold on for a while longer and buy her more time to recover. He didn’t expect that the moment the archer landed at a disadvantage, he would immediately lose his fighting spirit.

Monroe thought that Joey was Yin Shi’s companion, but the knight knew that this was just a beautiful misunderstanding. Moreover, the archer had used such a high-grade shadow cloak scroll, so he might have already escaped from the battlefield and would not show himself again.

Although all sorts of unforeseen situations had occurred in Qin Lun’s plot, there was one thing that basically conformed to his judgment. That was to say, all the apostles in the Battle of Hegemony had already used up their magic scrolls.

Even the six great experts were the same. After all, they had experienced the most battles. After more than ten battles, even if they only used one magic skill at a time, there were still more than ten magic scrolls.

Yin Shi slowly pulled out the knight’s sword from her waist, and her original rifle fell under the tree. However, now that there were no mounts, this kind of spear was not easy to use in close combat. It was inferior to a knight’s sword in reserve.

“Drink!” Monroe dragged his hands behind him and sprinted two steps. He jumped up high and his body was still in the air. His legs were kicked out. The scattered shadows of her legs firmly covered Yin Shi’s body, completely blocking the female knight’s path of retreat.

Yin Shi’s expression was solemn as she gripped the knight’s sword tightly with both hands and fiercely raised it. A half-moon shaped sword qi slashed upwards and slashed towards the center of the leg shadow.

“Haha!” Yin Shi’s exquisite laughter came from midair. Her legs suddenly retracted and her right foot lightly tapped the void. A ball of air exploded beneath her feet and she forcefully moved several feet away in midair, flashing past the sword qi.

Seeing this, Yin Shi smiled bitterly. This was the biggest reason why she could easily kill Monroe’s two companions, but she would still fall into a bitter battle when fighting Monroe alone. The Kung Fu girl’s BUG-like footwork was simply a nightmare for the heavy equipment profession.

She had a few Sword Qi skills, but the female knight was not a real swordsman after all. She did not have a complete and exquisite sword technique system, so she naturally could not rely on her sword technique to fight against a real martial artist.

“Bang! Bang!” Just as Yin Shi thought that she was going to slowly face defeat, gunshots rang out in this area at the right time. The two bullets seemed to possess life as they drilled out of Yin Shi’s armpit and shot towards Monroe from an extremely crafty angle.

“They are indeed companions!” Monroe’s face was filled with anger, and he was even more certain that the shooter and the female knight should be a pair of partners.

The gunman had no choice but to use a high-grade Shadow Scroll just now. If it wasn’t for the sake of saving his companion, he wouldn’t have turned around again. After all, if he were to be entangled by Monroe again, it would be hard to believe that there would be a second shadow scroll to save his life.

Monroe made a turn in the air, wanting to get over Yin Shi’s head and deal with the archer behind the female knight.

Compared to the kung fu girl, Yin Shi was delighted in her heart. This time, she did not hesitate at all. Raising her hand was a streak of sword qi, forcing the kung fu girl to change directions again and stop her. Although the female knight could not injure Monroe, there was no problem stopping her with a medium-range sword qi attack and charging skills.

Moreover, she also had a protective halo on her body, so she didn’t have to worry about the kung fu girl’s “circle of residence” like before. The battle between the three of them had completely turned into a battle of attrition. The outcome depended on who was the first to be exhausted.

Of course, compared to Monroe and Yin Shi, Qin Lun, who was hiding in the shadows and shooting black guns, was the easiest.
