Infinite Terror: This Middle Continent is Rebellious

Chapter 8 Battle with Zheng Zha

Wen Lie forced himself to cheer up and shouted, "Lord Anubis, I'm here to negotiate terms."

"Huh? Someone is calling my name, Anubis? Do you know me?"

A dog-headed man that ordinary people cannot see appeared behind Wen Lie. To be precise, it had a jackal's head, a muscular body, and was wearing a helmet. Its image was very similar to Anubis.

Wen Lie's dizziness eased a little, and he immediately said, "You are the substitute of a swordsmith from five hundred years ago. After the swordsmith died, his substitute attached himself to the sword. Is that correct?"

The substitute god Anubis shouted loudly: "That's right, ever since Charabon Sarai died, I have been wandering in the hands of different people. Decades ago, I was put into a box because I killed a few people. The feeling of being sealed was really terrible. From now on, I don't want to be in a box again! Absolutely not!"

Wen Lie said, "Then become his subordinate and my partner. We will take you out of the warehouse."

Wen Lie turned his head towards Zheng Zha, and his substitute, the god Anubis, also looked at Zheng Zha, with a very strange expression on his dog face.

"Are you kidding me? I'm already free, why would I want to be someone else's subordinate? I can control your body and walk out of the warehouse right now, as easy as taking a shit after having a stomachache. No one can stop me!"

"What kind of heavy metaphor is this?"

Wen Lie tried to ignore the metaphor of the substitute god Anubis and proposed a duel.

"The weak submit to the strong. Was that the rule in your time? If you can defeat the man beside me, then you are free. If you lose to him, he will be your master. How is that?"

"Oh! That's a great suggestion. You're quite knowledgeable."

As soon as he finished speaking, the power of the substitute god Anubis quickly eroded Wen Lie's brain.

Wen Lie's brain gradually became drowsy, just like the dumpling filling that had just been salted and was being roughly pinched by his mother. How could he still have the ability to control himself?

Those eyes soon glowed with purple light.

He is no longer Wen Lie, or rather, he is no longer the original Wen Lie.

The Stand User Wen Lie swapped the long sword and scabbard in his hands, turned to face Zheng Zha, and the corners of his young face raised, which was the smile of a fighter.

The master of Stand Anubis is a swordsmith and a fighter, just like the ability of Stand Anubis, which is born for fighting.

Zheng Zha fully felt the fighting desire of the Stand User Wen Lie. He glanced at Zhao Yingkong. Zhao Yingkong took the initiative to retreat to the wall. The aura on her body almost disappeared, and her body seemed to merge with the shadows. Even if someone saw her accidentally, they would ignore her.

"I am Anubis, the god of the underworld and the patron saint of cemeteries. Human, will you be my leader or my nemesis? Show me what you have."

The Stand User Wen Lie held the long sword upright in front of him, with the curved blade pointing at Zheng Zha, staring at him sharply.

"My name is Zheng Zha, his captain."

Zheng Zha took out an inconspicuous black dagger from his ring and looked into the eyes of the Stand User Wen Lie with a blank look.

He didn't know how strong Wen Lie was in this state, and he didn't have the habit of going all out in one attack.

However, the substitute god Anubis seems to be a master of swordsmanship, so he, a white-collar worker who has never practiced any fighting techniques, can only activate the first-level gene lock to fight.

The Stand User Wen Lie swung his sword at Zheng Zha without any hesitation. The blade was sharp and aggressive, but he did not use much skill and the attack was very direct.

Zheng Zha, wielding a dagger, engaged the Stand user, Wen Lie, in close combat. The dagger's blade vibrated slightly as it passed, slicing through the longsword's tip. A spark flew, and the dagger and longsword quickly separated. The longsword slashed towards Zheng Zha like a gale. Zheng Zha quickly thrust the dagger, placing the tip of the blade against the longsword's. Then, with a twist of his arm, the dagger's blade slashed against the side of the longsword, parrying it.

What a strength!
Zheng Zha was very sure that Wen Lie was just an ordinary person, but the Wen Lie who used that knife was no weaker than him, and was even a little stronger than him.

There is just one thing, there is no sense at all that Wen Lie has become a master of swordsmanship.

His skills are worse than his, otherwise he wouldn't be able to use a dagger to hit a long sword, and he couldn't dissolve a powerful attack with his weak strength.

"Oh, you are an expert with a dagger. It's rare to see a warrior using such a weapon."

The Stand User Wen Lie was talking to Zheng Zha while killing.

The substitute god Anubis is a chatterbox and has been locked up in the warehouse for decades. Now he wants to talk whenever he has a chance.

"This dagger is incredibly sharp. It's even stronger and sharper than my body. Is weapon-making technology so advanced now? It's so extravagant that they actually used such powerful technology to forge a dagger."

The Stand User Wen Lie's words did not affect his attack. He swung his sword with his B-class strength and speed, launching a series of attacks like a storm.

Although his swordsmanship did not show much skill, like that of an amateur, he had mastered the three elements of speed, accuracy and ruthlessness, and each strike was aimed at Zheng Zha's vital points.

Zheng Zha gripped the dagger tightly and swung his arm to meet the blade of the Stand User Wen Lie. The dagger, which was about 30 centimeters long, was about five times longer than the Stand User Wen Lie's long sword. It was very dangerous when they met in close combat. Every time they came into close combat, they would be in danger of being injured by just a millimeter of difference.

However, the only difference between the two weapons is their length. In terms of hardness and sharpness, Zheng Zha's dagger is no worse than the long sword.

The high-vibration particle cutting dagger is worth more than 600 bonus points. When it is swung, the blade will vibrate at high speed, and its sharpness can cut alloys like cakes.

In the main god space, the cost-effectiveness of technological weapons is really beyond the standard.

Zheng Zha fought with the Stand User Wen Lie for more than twenty rounds, and under the state of first-level gene lock, he firmly suppressed the Stand User Wen Lie.

The substitute god Anubis became a little anxious.

Is this person really human? How can he be so strong?

And what did he use?

The ability of the Stand-in God Anubis is to remember the enemy's strength, speed, and moves, but Zheng Zha's strength and speed are inferior to those of the Stand-in God Anubis, so there is no need to remember them.

As for skills, Zheng Zha doesn't have that kind of thing.

After unlocking the first level of the genetic lock, information that was originally impossible to perceive in detail will passively flow into the mind. Even if the consciousness cannot react, the body will naturally make corresponding actions based on the information.

Control precise to the millimeter, reaction ability within milliseconds, preliminary reading of other people's brain waves, neural reflexes sufficient to see the trajectory of bullets, and predictive ability enough to avoid silenced pistols.

All of these can be achieved by relying on the body's instincts after unlocking the first level.

How can you remember instinct? That fighting style is only suitable for the present moment and cannot be applied to the next battle.
