Chapter 710 The Real Three Lions
call! ! !
A gentle breeze brushed against the lion's face, causing him to freeze for a good second. But after that brief moment of stunned silence, he belatedly realized something...
wrong! ! !
Uh-huh! ! ! ! !
A cold glint suddenly flashed in the corner of his left eye, and the hum of a sword's blade rang out. The Sword-Wielding Taoist, who had previously disappeared, reappeared on the left side of the Lion King, wielding the silver sword and thrusting it fiercely.
boom! ! !
At the critical moment, the Lion reacted quickly, raising his hand to defend himself with his special arm guard. The next moment, with a clang, the blade pierced his arm guard. Instantly, the Lion felt a tingling sensation, and even through the arm guard, he still felt as if he had been stung by an insect.
Of course, now was not the time to worry about such things. Coming to his senses, he instinctively swung the axe in his hand. As an excellent fighter, he did not forget to attack even while defending.
call! ! !
step, step, step
The giant axe roared, and this time the Lion finally saw clearly how its opponent dodged. It turned out that the opponent did not teleport out of thin air, but used a seemingly ethereal footwork to dodge the Lion's attack by constantly turning and shifting on the ground.
This was also the reason why his previous attack had missed. Seeing this, the Lion immediately became vigilant. With this in mind, he continued to launch an attack, but soon discovered something.
That's because the opponent is too agile!
Although he might be superior to his opponent in terms of overall strength and defense, he found it difficult to achieve any effective results against his opponent's agile footwork and unpredictable swordsmanship. After a battle, he not only failed to land a single blow with his axe, but also suffered several bloody puncture wounds from his opponent's sword.
After yet another failed attack, the Lion stopped, looked at its own injuries, and then at its unscathed opponent. It was hard to believe that even it could hold back, let alone the opponent.
"Hahaha~ Young friend, you can't rush things. You're full of flaws right now, so how can you say you can beat me?"
Seeing the tyrannical lion that had suffered a loss at his hands, the sword-wielding Taoist, a minor demon from the Spider Cave, couldn't help but burst into laughter.
As an ordinary demon, his strength naturally did not reach the level of a six-star silver demon. In terms of physical strength in a direct battle, he was definitely inferior to his opponent.
However, he knows how to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. As the second swordsman to appear among the lesser demons, he naturally has his own unique strengths.
If we say that the Wolf Swordsman's swordsmanship is fierce and sharp, with dangerous moves that can take lives with every strike, and extremely aggressive, like a wandering knight-errant who can kill one person in ten steps and leave no trace for a thousand miles, then it is a swordsmanship purely for combat.
The swordsman's swordsmanship is not as sharp; it is more about stability, gentleness, and etherealness, like a hermit who has lived deep in the mountains for a long time. While others wield swords to kill, he wields them to cultivate his mind. Although his offensive power is not as strong, his swordsmanship is more balanced, making it harder for others to find his weaknesses.
Especially when dealing with large units like the Lion King, these people are often eager to attack and never pay attention to balance. They are fine when facing someone who is also going head-to-head with them or only focuses on defense, but if they encounter someone like them who plays steadily, they will only end up pleasing neither side and suffer losses repeatedly.
Of course, this doesn't mean that the Sword Master was guaranteed to defeat his opponent. His current success was largely due to his understanding of the Lion King's eagerness to win.
If the Lion could calm down like him and learn to maintain balance, he might soon find a way to win.
However, the Lion King did not choose to do so, but instead used a riskier method.
boom! ! !
When the giant axe slammed into the ground once more, and when the opponent dodged its attack with footwork once more, the raging lion stopped this time.
But this did not mean he had calmed down. On the contrary, the flames of anger in his heart were still burning, but his remaining rationality told him that continuing to do so would hardly yield any effective results.
Therefore, he intends to go further and unleash even more of his power!
Sometimes, mastering balance is not the only way to break it. When you have absolute power, even if your opponent is perfectly balanced like an impeccable circle, it will be broken by that power.
"Very well, I've faced many enemies, but you're the first one who's managed to toy with me like this..."
Do you know why our mercenary group is called the Three-Headed Lion?
The lion's eyes flickered, its already reddish skin became even more agitated, it emitted a large amount of steam, and numerous veins began to bulge from under its skin.
"Let me show you my true power!!!"
The reason why the Lion King has reached this level and is feared by many Silver-rank superhumans is that he naturally has his own trump cards. Otherwise, he would not use them easily on ordinary days. However, when he is really in danger, he will release that power without hesitation.
Gulu~
Blood began to rapidly fill the lion's body, and as the blood gathered, two huge blood sacs began to solidify. These sacs began to move around his body, and wherever they passed, that area quickly became fuller, as if he had taken a muscle-building drug.
Under such rapid changes, the two blood packs quickly swam across the body and finally reached the neck.
Bang! ! ! !
Without any warning, with a loud bang, the two blood packs suddenly exploded, blasting two fleshy holes directly in the back of the lion's neck.
Gulu~
A series of fleshy, writhing sounds rang out. Under the watchful gaze of the sword-wielding Taoist, two strange, dark purple fleshy growths quickly emerged from the blood hole. The dark purple fleshy growths twisted and deformed continuously, eventually forming two faceless human faces on the left and right sides of the lion's neck.
Drink up!
With a series of low shouts, the two faceless faces began to tremble again, revealing various expressions. Finally, under the control of the Lion King, they formed two faces that were exactly the same as his.
After the transformation was successfully completed, the three faces of the sword-wielding Taoist, who were simultaneously observing the faces, revealed an extremely aggressive and ferocious expression. This scene silently revealed the origin of the mercenary group's name:
This is the three-headed lion!
Upon seeing this, the sword-wielding Taoist was initially stunned. After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke:
"I changed my mind!"
"Surrender? It's too late!"
"No...it's not surrendering..."
Just as the swordsman finished speaking, a sudden noise came from the woods on both sides.
