Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 197: Swordsman's Life and Death Battle (6k)

Although Bai Shi could feel Alexander's emotion.

But I have to say that being held by Warrior Pot is not a very comfortable experience.

Bai Shi patted Alexander's body gently.

"It's okay. I don't want to see a soldier stop for such a reason."

"Well, now that you've almost repaired your body, take a good rest."

"When you have completely recovered from your injuries and collected the bodies of those powerful warriors, I believe your strength will be further improved."

"I look forward to the day when your strength reaches its peak."

Alexander loosened his embrace.

"Well, then please witness the growth of me, 'Iron Fist' Alexander."

"One day, I will grow up to be a true hero!"

"At that time, I will be the first to become a hero as a warrior pot, wow hahaha!"

Alexander laughed heartily, this had always been his dream.

If Alexander could really do it, then he would definitely be the one who broke the impression of the people in the border area about warriors.

Let the world know that Warrior Pot can also be a real warrior and a real hero.

Bai Shi looked at this cheerful Hu warrior and laughed from the bottom of his heart.

"Well, I will definitely witness the day when you become a hero."

"I wish you success."
-
Alexander said goodbye first as he was going to the Weeping Dunes to continue collecting contents.

Bai Shi did not leave for the time being, but stayed in Hilbert's laboratory.

As for the next step in dealing with the scarlet corruption, he had a few things he wanted to try.

"Hilbert, I have recently acquired a new power."

"I think it might have a special effect on scarlet corruption, but I haven't tried it yet."

"How do you test the effect of a power on the Scarlet Corruption?"

Hilbert was also very curious when he heard that it might have a special effect on scarlet corruption.

What kind of power could have such a special effect on scarlet corruption?

"Well, testing this is easy."

Hilbert produced a special container containing scarlet corrupted samples used in experiments with various drugs.

"Okay, let's try it now."

Bai Zhi summoned the flames of the sun, and the scorching temperature instantly distorted the space.

The flames that controlled the sun attacked the Scarlet Corruption. In an instant, the Scarlet Corruption and its container were all burned to ashes.

Hilbert thought about it.

"There is no doubt that this is a very powerful flame..."

“But I can’t see any effect.”

"If there is anything special about Scarlet Corruption, it's not necessarily true."

"Fire suppresses corruption, as you know."

"I felt that the flames were simply too strong. I didn't see any special effects."

Bai Shi nodded, that was indeed the case.

Nothing could be seen from the previous move, and the scarlet corruption was eliminated in an instant.

Ordinary scarlet corruption is relatively easy to treat, and can be burned away with flames.

His highly aggressive Sun Fire was too powerful for the Scarlet Corruption, so there was no point in testing it.

So Bai Shi asked Hilbert to take another sample of the scarlet corruption.

This time, Bai Shi did not use the flames of the sun, but instead released warm sunlight towards the ball of scarlet corruption.

Soon, the mass of scarlet corruption began to wriggle, and then it actually grew and continued to spread outward.

Bai Shi was startled and wanted to stop what he was doing.

But he changed his mind and realized that even if this little scarlet corruption grew out, it would not pose any threat.

Now that we have discovered that sunlight does have an effect on scarlet corruption, we might as well continue releasing sunlight to see what effect it will eventually have.

As the scarlet corruption grew more and more, it finally grew a container and turned into a carpet-like object that covered half of the table.

Under the continuous shining of sunlight, the scarlet color of corruption was gradually fading and the structure began to change.

It changed from dark red to light red, and finally to a light pink-white.

Then, tender shoots began to grow from the corruption.

Soon, tender shoots with some green color grew out from it and stretched upwards.

And this pool of 'scarlet corruption', which initially looked a bit like ferns and mosses, is now fibrosing and seems to be changing into trees.

Seeing this manifestation of scarlet corruption, Hilbert was deeply shocked.

From what we can see now, the form of Scarlet Corruption has completely changed, and it is a drastic change!
Scarlet Corruption previously behaved more like an aggressive fungus, but is now stabilizing and transforming into a plant.

However, further testing is needed to determine their current status.

However, it seems that the scarlet corruption here, exposed to the sunlight, has lost its toxicity.

Bai Shi was also shocked.

I originally thought that the scarlet corruption would be killed directly like mold when it came into contact with sunlight, but it actually changed its own form of survival.

But if you think about it carefully, the scarlet corruption is the law of corruption and abundance, which is essentially the law of reincarnation.

A unique abundance is born out of corruption, which gives people a feeling of one whale falling to the ground and bringing all things to life.

Perhaps the scarlet corruption itself is the means for the law of reincarnation to achieve "abundance", rather than the end.

The final form of the Law of Reincarnation does not necessarily have to be scarlet corruption.

The scarlet corruption has the effect of forcing organisms to transform. Organisms that cannot survive this elimination will be transformed into nutrients to breed the scarlet corruption, further promoting "abundance".

It seems that not only does Crimson Corruption have an impact on those creatures, but Crimson Corruption itself will also change due to the influence of the environment.

Perhaps the sunlight makes them feel that they have reached "abundance", which causes the changes.

But this condition is really too high.

The little bit of scarlet corruption in the container has to grow to half the size of the tabletop to meet the condition of "abundance". No wonder the scarlet corruption on Gaileyd is now expanding without restraint.

At present, Bai Shi only sees sunlight as the only thing that can change them.

But this is enough, this power is in the hands of Bai Shi.

When Bai Shi uses Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow to purify Gaileyd, Gaileyd will truly be full of birdsong and flowers.

But all of this is based on:
Under the premise that 'these scarlet corruptions exposed to the sun have indeed become harmless'.

Bai Shi looked at Hilbert and said:

"Please study these samples carefully."

"If I can confirm that this kind of scarlet corruption is not invasive and toxic, then I will take action to control it in the future."

"Also, don't stop researching neutralizing incense and other methods."

Hilbert nodded solemnly.

The form of the Scarlet Corruption has changed dramatically.

This matter is of great importance and must be managed well.

If stable governance can really be achieved, then this will undoubtedly be a major breakthrough.
-
There was a knock on the laboratory door.

Bai Shi went over and opened the door, outside of which was the Forge Knight from Red Lion City.

When the Crucible Knight saw Bai Shi, he bowed respectfully and said:

"Master Bai Shi, City Lord Jie Lian and the challenger have arrived at the venue."

Bai Shi nodded.

"Then take me there."

The Crucible Knight spread his wings behind his back, grabbed Bai Shi's hand and flew into the sky.

The Crucible Knight was somewhat surprised when he was burned by the remaining fire scars on Bai Shi's body.

Because that flame also contains the power of life, which is very similar to the power of their furnace.

But it’s still a little different.

……

The Crucible Knight came here naturally because of the "old man"'s challenge to Jerryan.

Bai Shi specifically contacted the Crucible Knight in advance and asked him to notify him when the fight was about to begin.

Bai Shi had been waiting for this battle after the battle festival ended.

After thinking for a while, Bai Shi decided to wait until the two of them finished fighting and then get rid of the "old man".

Bai Shi will not interfere in their fight. The winner will depend on their own abilities.

However, after the fight, white consciousness will get involved.

If Jie Lian wins, then he won't have to take action.

But on the contrary, if Jie Lian loses in the battle, Bai Shi will not let the 'old man' leave.

He will take action himself and get rid of the 'old man'.

Bai Shi couldn't sit idly by and watch the people of the Blood Dynasty continue to act arrogantly in the border area, let alone that they were an "old man".

The 'Old Man' is Munger's right-hand man, so he must be dealt with in advance if there is a chance.

When dealing with your enemies, you must be as cruel and merciless as a harsh winter.

Soon, Bai Shi arrived at the battle venue under the leadership of the Crucible Knight.

The two still chose to stay in the Weeping Dunes.

It was still night, and the figures on the sand dunes were blurry, and could only be seen clearly when they got closer.

Bai Shi and Furnace Knight stood on a sand dune in the distance, watching from afar.

Jie Lian carried a flame-shaped sword and looked at the "old man" opposite him.

"You are really impatient."

"It wasn't long after the dinner party that he came here."

The 'old man' bowed deeply to Jie Lian.

"I'm sorry, but I'm just not interested in dinner parties or anything like that."

"All I'm obsessed with is fighting and killing."

"The dinner time has made me impatient..."

Jerry nodded.

"For a guy like you, the dinner party is probably really boring."

"Should I thank you for waiting until now?"

The 'old man' straightened up and laughed.

"Haha, this kind of thing doesn't matter."

"Let's start the fight..."

After saying that, he drew his favorite sword from his waist - Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood.

Seeing that the other party was so anxious, Jie Lian also ignited a raging flame on the sword he was carrying.

Jie Lian rushed towards the 'old man' quickly.

The 'old man' stood where he was, holding the hilt of the knife tightly with both hands, his momentum constantly accumulating.

Evil spirit surged from his body and began to control the souls in the mountain of corpses and sea of blood.

Behind him, a four-armed Shura forged with murderous intent emerged from the virtual to the real.

The strongest move of the 'Old Man' needs time to accumulate, so when facing Jie Lian, he only has the opportunity to use it before the battle.

Jie Lian was still some distance away from him, but the old man was almost ready to attack. Just as the old man was aiming at Jie Lian and about to swing the knife, he saw Jie Lian pull out a crossbow from behind his back with his left hand.

Several arrows were fired violently from the crossbow, heading towards the old man's face and body.

The fire crossbow arrow burst into flames when it was shot from the crossbow, illuminating Jerryan's iron mask.

The 'old man' felt that there was an inexplicable hint of mockery in the mask.

The fiery crossbow arrows shot at the old man one after another. Although most of the power was blocked by the protective gear and evil spirit, it inevitably affected his moves.

Moreover, this move of the 'old man' is driven by momentum.

In other words, he had to chop it down, otherwise it would affect the subsequent battle.

The huge sword came down, but Jairian dodged it nimbly.

Jellian dropped the crossbow which had no more arrows, grasped the flame-shaped sword with both hands, and ran towards the "old man".

The 'old man' pulled out a wakizashi from his side, and then stepped on the sword that was thrusting at him.

There was a raging fire under his feet, but the old man didn't care and stepped forward on the sword.

The wakizashi and the sea of blood and corpses were thrown towards Jie Lian one after another.

Jie Lian was caught off guard by the unique moves of the Reed Land and lost the initiative.

Seeing the sword coming, Jie Lian roared angrily and a fierce flame burst out from his body.

The impact knocked the 'old man' away, giving Jerryan a chance to counterattack.

Jie Lian exerted force with both arms and slashed the sword from bottom to top at the 'old man'.

The 'old man' calculated the distance accurately, so only the corner of his clothes was burned by the flames.

But Jie Lian immediately swung out a fan-shaped lion fire from his hand, hitting the "old man" head-on.

The white hair on the old man's mask was burned, but he moved forward.

The wakizashi and the sea of blood and corpses swung their weapons one after another, colliding continuously on the flame-shaped greatsword.

Jie Lian kept blocking with his greatsword, and finally waited for a gap in the old man's sword dance.

Jie Lian thrust his body forward suddenly, pressing over the 'old man', and immediately lowered his body and stepped forward, thrusting his greatsword diagonally upward from below.

Hunting Giants!

The flaming greatsword was pressed against the old man's breastplate, sending him flying into the air.

After the 'old man' landed, he rolled twice before he stood up again.

Just as he raised his head, the Lion Slash came at him again.

As a last resort, the 'old man' had to fly towards the sand on the side, but was hit by the brilliant sword circle released by Jie Lian when he was rolling.

The 'old man' pulled away and stood up again, breathing heavily.

When masters fight, even the slightest mistake can lead to a huge disadvantage.

Jie Lian's previous series of moves almost killed the "old man" on the spot. If he hadn't been given cursed blood before, he would probably be too weak to fight now.

The 'old man' felt his chest being pierced by Jie Lian just now, and couldn't help but sigh at Jie Lian's rich skills.

Sword skills, combat skills, flames, and magic, the combination is indeed quite good...

But all he needs is a knife and himself.

Everything else is just impure external things.

Cursed blood began to burn on the old man's body, and the sea of blood and corpses was also covered by blood flames.

The 'Old Man' once challenged Monger and made him experience the knife and madness firsthand.

Therefore, he was appreciated by Monger and embarked on the true path of Shura.

"It seems that I didn't choose the wrong opponent this time..."

"You are indeed very strong. I am very happy."

"Since you are an opponent worthy of being killed, I will kill you seriously."

Jie Lian looked at the guy in front of him who seemed a little strange, and frowned under the mask.

The hunting giant just now had pierced through his chest, and there was no problem with the shining sword circle formation, it had definitely hit the target.

Why was that guy able to stand up like nothing happened... and even seemed to have become stronger?
Before Jie Lian could figure out what was going on, the 'old man' had already rushed over at a speed far exceeding his previous speed.

Just as Jerlian blocked the wakizashi's attack with his greatsword, a sea of blood and corpses splashed with cursed blood attacked again.

He managed to move the sword to block the sea of blood and corpses, but the blood flames on the sword touched Jie Lian's body.

The blood flame of the 'old man' is not as strong as Monger's, and it cannot burn a person to death in a few seconds, but it should not be underestimated.

Jie Lian was burned by the blood flames and immediately let out a painful roar.

But the 'old man's' offensive continues.

It was still the same dual-sword style, still the same approach, but the enhanced physical fitness and blood flame made it difficult for Jie Lian to resist.

Jeremiah soon realized that he could not go on, so he turned from defense to offense, swinging his greatsword.

At the cost of having his chest armor cut, Jerry was able to gain a short distance.

As his palms clapped on his chest, he prayed - 'the blessing of fire' was released by Jerryen.

Another kind of flame began to burn in his body, immediately suppressing the spreading blood flame.

The 'old man' put away the wakizashi and waved the sea of blood and corpses frantically, unleashing a fighting skill called Corpses Littered All Over the Ground.

Several sword blades of cursed blood attacked Jie Lian, forcing him to dodge in a panic.

However, despite his embarrassing situation, Jie Lian found that he was not without a chance of winning.

The guy opposite seemed to be gradually losing his mind after entering that strange state.

Although the fighting skills did not decline, the decision-making began to become less accurate.

Jie Lian and the 'old man' came into close combat again, and after observing his every move, he discovered that his judgment was correct.

Soon, Jie Lian deliberately revealed his flaws to lure the "old man".

The 'old man' was fooled, and when he saw Jie Lian's weakness, he immediately raised the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, wanting to cut him in half.

But Jie Lian took out his staff again and rushed into the arms of the "old man".

Kalia's sword was as swift as a dagger, sweeping back and forth in the old man's body in an instant, severely damaging his organs.

The 'old man' realized that he had been tricked, so he simply let Jie Lian attack him and continued to chop down the mountain of corpses and sea of blood in his hands.

The armor on Jie Lian's back was like thin paper in front of the sharp blade and was torn apart in an instant.

He had a horrific cut on his back and was almost falling down.

Jie Lian spat out a mouthful of blood under the mask.

The opponent's physical fitness has been enhanced to be higher than his, and his skills are impeccable, so it is indeed a bit difficult to exchange injuries like this.

However, the attack just now also successfully dealt a heavy blow to the 'old man', forcing him to stop that state.

Now victory or defeat depends on the next move.

The two men stood face to face, and could feel each other's high fighting spirit.

The 'old man' stood sideways, took a big step forward with his right foot, his toes pointed towards Jie Lian, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood were held above his head, and the blade was facing the sky.

However, his left hand did not hold the hilt of the sword together with his right hand. Instead, he clamped the sword body with two knuckles to fix the mountain of corpses and sea of blood.

Next, the 'old man' seemed to be dead, no longer moving at all, and his aura was completely frozen.

When Jie Lian saw this move he had never seen before, he became alert.

But now that things have come to this, he can't hide away.

In the battle of life and death, you have to put all your courage into it.

Jie Lian took a deep breath and rushed towards the 'old man'.

His flame-shaped greatsword has a greater distance advantage than the opponent's sword when thrusting. As long as he calculates the distance correctly...

The flame-shaped sword in Jie Lian's hand stabbed at the 'old man'.

However, with a flash of blood, the "old man" was chopped down in a sea of blood and corpse, and the tip of the knife passed from Jie Lian's shoulder all the way down, instantly ripping him open, and then the sword body sank deeply into the sand dune.

Jie Lian looked at the sword in the old man's hand in disbelief.

"Why... the attack distance has suddenly increased?"

"The force and speed are also..."

"Could it be that holding the sword with the left hand is also for faster speed..."

In the moment before he lost consciousness, Jie Lian saw the old man's right hand holding the sword.

The hand that was originally tightly clenched under the guard of the sword now only has two fingers clamped on the end of the handle.

"It's the distance of the handle..."

Jellian fell down, and the flame-shaped sword that pierced the "old man" fell with him.

The 'old man' was staggering and could hardly stand.

However, he still had enough strength to chop off Jerry's head.

The 'old man' holds high a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

But the next second, as if sensing something, the old man's body instantly turned into cursed blood and left.
-
The figure of the 'old man' reappeared in a corner of the Weeping Dunes.

Feeling the serious injuries on his body, the 'old man' laughed heartily.

“I really came at the right time this time.”

"Sure enough, only by fighting with an opponent of similar strength can I experience the thrill of life and death."

The 'old man' had no intention of killing weak opponents.

So he would look for strong opponents and fight them.

The 'old man' wins every time, and this time is no exception.

Unfortunately, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find such opponents...

Just as he was thinking about it, a sense of crisis suddenly came over the old man.

The next second, a dazzling spear slid down from the sky and pierced through the "old man".

"Uh ah ah!"

The blazing flaming spear burned him, but it was not over yet.

The spear continued to expand, and the ball of destructive light swallowed up the 'old man' and his roar.

The terrifying high temperature evaporated everything, and even the cursed blood could not save him.

Looking at the mini sun rising above the Weeping Dunes, Bai Shi nodded.

The power is quite good.

Bai Shi walked towards the place where the 'old man' was before, and now there was only a 'shadow' left there.

This is the 'old man', or rather, this used to be the 'old man'.

Bai Shi checked carefully and confirmed that the 'old man' had been wiped out from the world.

It's a pity that there were so many corpses and blood, and now only a little bit of melted residue is left.

Bai Shi used to like this weapon very much.

But if it's gone, then it's gone. Anyway, there's Munger's mark on it, and who knows if it will come back through the Internet someday.

And there are too many weapons to use.

Just now he fed Jie Lian four or five bottles of Red Dew Drop Holy Grail, and then applied a layer of sunlight healing, and finally saved his life.

Only after that did he chase after him again.

I have to say, the battle between the 'old man' and Jerry was indeed exciting.

The main reason is that the strength is equal, so both sides tried their best.

Unfortunately, Jie Lian's realm was slightly lacking.

Speaking of which...

Bai Shi recalled the old man's last move and became interested.

That kind of explosive technique is quite unique.
