Chapter 85: Tactics
Shing Shing Shing!
Zhang Jue and Able, each wielding the long swords in their hands, sparred at the edge of the cliff. Zhang Jue's clothes had been cut into pieces, and most of his blood had dried up. If he didn't have a self-healing ability, I'm afraid he would have gone into shock due to excessive blood loss. He held his sword single-handedly, and each slash was aimed at Zhang Jue's vitals.
Even though Zhang Jue had tricked him into using the same weapon, he was no match for him in a solo flight, and it was not easy for him not to be killed on the spot. Instead of being afraid, Zhang Jue was getting more and more excited and seemed to be enjoying the battle. Even Able felt the abnormality.
"Aren't you afraid of death?" He asked.
Zhang Jue licked his lips, "To tell you the truth, you may not believe it, but I have not been afraid of anything in my long life. Eat my sword!"
The two men continued to tangle up. Even if Zhang Jue could block his sword, he would still be wounded by it. But Zhang Jue relied on his self-healing ability and put up a fight with Able.
The terrifying thing was Able felt that Zhang Jue was improving little by little in this fight. By the time they fought together, he could now dodge most of his attacks, and it had only taken ten minutes to do soa speed of progress that could only be described as terrifying.
Able has lived for so long or is the first time to see a combat experience that's above him. This kid took himself as what, a stepping stone for his progress? Thinking about this, Able was on fire. He had never been looked down on like this before.
"Zhang Jue!" Able's eyes were sinister and murderous, "I will cut your head off today!"
"Good, it's a deal!" Zhang Jue sparred with him, "Able if you don't cut off my head today. You'll be my grandson, a son with no assholes, and a daughter who looks like your neighbor!"
Able was so angry with him that he nearly lost his breath.
Zhang Jue has fought many enemies and lost some allies of his own, and he also pitied Cain. He didn't care. At this moment, he was in a state of extreme exhilaration. Even without using the Dragon Crystal, he was able to see the trajectory of Able's blade and his body responded naturally, becoming more and more comfortable as the battle progressed. As Able had thought, Zhang Jue had indeed used him as a chaperone.
Chen Xiao had said that true kung fu needed to be tempered by blood. Without experiencing life and death, one was always a little short of fire. Since he had come to this world, Zhang Jue had always been proud and smooth and rarely had the opportunity to fight to the utmost effort with his enemies. I'm afraid not many people could be considered his opponent when it comes to fighting. Unlike Able, someone who was born since the beginning of life can be beaten by him to the point of no mercy.
But the opportunity to fight Able one-on-one is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he can't get his ability, he should stop being called Zhang Jue and change his name to something disgraceful.
Zhang Jue had provoked him several times, Able's anger grew even stronger, and he wanted to punch Zhang Jue to death. From now on, in addition to Cain, Zhang Jue will also be on his list of must-kill targets and will firmly occupy the second position on the list for a long time to come.
"Hey, Able. Show some real skill." Zhang Jue taunted, "Why are you getting slower and slower with your sword? like a pussy."
Able fought hard to attack, but he finally realized that although he still had the upper hand, Zhang Jue's level of defense had also reached its peak, and he was unable to break it at all. He somewhat regretted lending that long sword to Zhang Jue for the first time.
However, Zhang Jue was like a roundworm in his ear. Just as he thought of this, he heard him say in a bitchy tone, "What is it, Able? Why don't you turn my sword into nothing? You won't be able to kill me without using these dirty tricks. Woo, I'm scared of you."
Zhang Jue has learned the characteristics of Able. This statement is equal to directly blocking Able's deadly attack, and he is more unlikely to take back the weapon.
He would rather die here than be caught by someone like Zhang Jue for Able. That would be a shameful thing to do if he did that. Able once again accelerated the swing of his blade, yet with this level of acceleration, Zhang Jue could already keep up effortlessly.
He even got busy and adjusted his headset channel, saying to the leader of the fledgling squad, Varengus, "Attention, Able has entered a berserk state. From this moment on, I will induce him to abandon his defense, prepare your missiles and stand by."
Varengus hurriedly responded. His admiration for Zhang Jue could no longer be described in words. Time and again, Zhang Jue had convinced his mind. At first, he thought Zhang Jue was a hero who would sacrifice himself to contain Able, but later, he found out that Zhang Jue could be undefeated under Able's attack. Then he realized that although Zhang Jue's title in the Foundation was an advisor, his combat power was also very powerful, and he could also fight with Able in a difficult situation.
When the two sides fought, Zhang Jue talked trash a lot, and Varengus thought it was his bad behavior, but he didn't realize that this was Zhang Jue's core tactic.
All he did was to completely anger Able and make him attack without any reservations so that he could reveal his weaknesses. Not bad for a Special Advisor hired by the Foundation. How can I say it's still the same person, and Varengus' understanding of Zhang Jue was too limited.
If Yang Xue had seen this scene, she would have told him to stop making assumptions about him. Talking trash was Zhang Jue's unique characteristic! Singing those childish and brainless songs is also one of them!
Under Zhang Jue's constant harassment, Able had gradually lost himself, and all he could think about was how to kill Zhang Jue. He was completely oblivious to the strange movements around him. He didn't notice that the encirclement had gradually shrunk, and the missiles were all ready to be fired, just waiting for Zhang Jue to give the order to shoot the hill they were on.
Able was still attacking frantically. After all, no matter how talented Zhang Jue was, Able's strength was still strong on his side. Zhang Jue was casually chatting while fending off Able's attacks.
"You know what, Able? Cain is quite miserable. He can only eat big fish and meat every day now. He can't even eat such earthly delicacies as scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and it's really pitiful."
"Ahhhhhhh!!!" Able looked up to the sky and roared, "Don't you ever dare mention his name in front of my face!" With this roar, Able finally completely lost himself, and he exploded all his power at once. His speed suddenly increased to a terrifying level. With Zhang Jue's current strength, he was completely overwhelmed. Soon, countless wounds of all sizes once again appeared on Zhang Jue's body.
"Hahahahahaha!" Able laughed maniacally. "Die, you Zhang Jue!" With that, he plunged his sword into Zhang Jue's heart.
For a moment, Able thought he had won, finally killing this noisy fly. Then he realized he couldn't move. The man named Zhang Jue looked at him and smiled. That smile was so eerie that he felt a hint of fear as his prey.
What was this? Able had never felt this feeling before. Then, something even more unexpected happened to him.
He only saw Zhang Jue grab his arm and shout, "Commence fire!"
