Chapter 171 - 171 133 Three Types of Cold Weapon Skills (4200)_2

Chapter 171: 133 Three Types of Cold Weapon Skills (4200)_2 Chapter 171: 133 Three Types of Cold Weapon Skills (4200)_2 Both quickly retreated, then clashed together again at high speed.

The Canon Slashing Sword cut through rainwater with precision, tracing a semi-circular arc in the air. Casio right-footed the ground to forcefully shift his position. While avoiding this sword, he struck back with a powerful Wind Elephant Fist.

The Decayed Knight forcefully retrieved his sword. The entire person strangely lifted both hands – the sword abruptly swept across. It didn’t seem like a man commanding a sword, but rather the sword controlling and guiding the man.

Clang!

Casio’s fist struck the blade, causing it to recoil. His entire body gave a violent shake, and muscles under his armor bulged while his thick green veins pulsed with hot blood. His figure inflated slightly, when he stepped on the ground, the terrain suddenly exploded.

“Elephant Roaring Sound!”

A super-fast straight fist in the state of accelerated blood circulation!

The massive fist slammed fiercely into the Decayed Knight’s chest, causing surrounding gray matter to briefly dim. The already depressed chest armor suddenly collapsed inward, revealing several cracks. A stream of black water squeezed out from the cracks, carrying a decayed scent.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

Casio continued to throw a series of punches. Each powerful hit targeted the knight’s chest. The imprinted armor trembled with the force of the strikes, causing the raindrops to burst into mist.

Once again, a sharp sword arched at him.

“Die!”

Casio, without regard, raised his muscular black arm and hit back. Punching through countless freezing raindrops along the way, he roared ferociously and struck the knight’s head.

With a bang, the helmet and head beneath were lifted off.

A muffled thud sounded as the iron head fell to the ground.

Casio glanced at the wound at his waist, a sword was stubbed into his armor. He pulled it out to find faint traces of blood leaking from the wound. Even with the combination of the Hard Qigong technique and his close-fitting metal armor, he still couldn’t defend against the last strike.

The Decayed Knight was indeed strong. His close combat skills were incredibly keen and his battle experience was rich. Like a master swordsman immersed in swordplay for centuries, he had a vigorous attack strength.

The physique of the sword-wielding knight was likewise inhuman, approaching the condition of the initial phase of blood acceleration. Combined with the formidable moves, he had managed to withstand Casio’s attacks for quite some time.

Too bad, he only mastered the skill, but it was still far from reaching the effectiveness of Secret Martial Art. Moreover, his manner seemed somewhat rigid and stiff, as if he was driven by some force that caused his battle coordination to be inadequate.

Casio had only used less than half of his strength to kill him.

He took another glance at the wound on his left side. The wound instantly stopped bleeding as his muscles contracted. Just as he was about to act, a stream of gray air suddenly emerged from the ground. The air was instantly absorbed by the shield mark on his hand, and some decayed information poured into his mind.

When Casio looked down quickly, the corpse of the slashed sword knight had disappeared. Frowning, he detected something popping up in the upper right corner.

“Canon Slashing Sword: First level entry (out of three levels)”

Upon further inspection, more detailed explanations freely flowed into his heart.

“Canon Slashing Sword is an ancient technique from the sword-fighting school; it is often used in battlefield carnage. It’s an extremely aggressive swordsmanship technique for killing.”

What Casio had received was a memory imprint. His shield mark directly absorbed and acquired a portion of the sword-wielding knight’s combat skills.

He couldn’t help feeling puzzled. Why didn’t he receive it when he first killed the three Decayed Knights? Perhaps it only counts if he did it personally, and traps set in advance or the use of external forces didn’t count?

Then another question arose.

The Decayed Knight was clearly a hunter sent out by the Black Rain Villa, so why did killing him provide experience to his prey?

Casio swiftly activated the Secret Martial Art to sense his body, and immediately noticed something inconsistent. He had a faint sense of decay on his body that was very similar to the just-killed Decayed Knight.

“Sure enough, they’re up to no good; is this some kind of tracking?”

Casio thought for a moment, and it started to concern him. This decay smell was very faint, even if it increased a thousand or ten thousand times, it probably wouldn’t be a problem. However, if he continued to kill the continuously resurrecting Decayed Knights, this scent would likely increase rapidly.

It’s enhancing the Black Rain Villa’s positioning on the Markers.

So, the Black Rain Villa’s perception has its limits? Or perhaps there are no limits, but it weakens as the distance increases.

If the distance is large enough, it might take the Decayed Knight dispatched by the Black Rain Villa several months or even half a year to locate the target. This scent imprint is to prevent such situations, even though it is indirectly enhancing the strength of the pursued…

While it seems illogical, it fits perfectly with the Black Rain Villa’s own logic. It seems more like a mechanical, rudimentary intellectual system that follows a certain set of rules. If not, why wouldn’t it issue tasks to other Eerie Night Guests to hunt down those Markers who betrayed the Black Rain Villa? That would have a higher success rate than the seemingly formidable Decayed Knights! Because humans are able to tap their potentials and with sufficient incentives, they can be truly terrifying.

Backstabbing, setting traps, throwing bombs, poisoning, employing honey traps – all too numerous to count. As long as the Black Rain Villa releases the location regularly, the rebels would be irked to death even if not killed directly.

This would be far more terrifying than the predictable pursuit of the Decayed Knights.

The Black Rain Villa simply follows its own set of operating logic: Marker fails to complete the regular task → Marker is defined as the Betrayer → The betrayed Marker undergoes identity changes → Decayed Knights leave the Rainy World → It rains around the Betrayer → Decayed Knights begin to kill. This is probably the logic behind the process.
