Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 218 Strike first!

"hidden weapon?"

The sharp whistling sound was without any preceding movement, and Li Zheng immediately ruled out the possibility that the other party was using firearms. He then withdrew his hand and retreated to avoid a sneak attack from another Night Warrior.

However, the moment he retreated, the black-clad warrior in front of him suddenly lunged forward, his sharp blade aimed directly at Li Zheng's right eye, moving with incredible speed!

Bow your head, bend over!

Old Pu gave guidance during the battle, something he hadn't done in a long time. Li Zheng subconsciously followed his instructions, and with a slight bend, he broke through both the hidden weapon and the sharp blade.

【Collide!】

The simple and direct suggestion was immediately understood by Li Zheng. This posture was not convenient for him to exert force when swinging, so he should follow Lao Pu's guidance and charge at it with all his might.

I'll smash you to pieces!

With a roar, Li Zheng used his waist to thrust forward, and like a raging bear, he crashed into the arms of the Night Warrior in front of him.

Just as the warrior in the darkness was about to withdraw his attack to dodge, a large hand suddenly appeared from the side, grabbed his slender forearm, and held it tightly.

"Hmph, how could I let you get away?" Li Zheng grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, his face full of ferocity, and his forward momentum became even stronger.

stretch!
puff!
A stream of warm, black liquid splashed all over Li Zheng's head, and his headbutt, which was originally sure to hit, missed completely.

Li Zheng staggered a step, hastily wiped the liquid from his head and face, and looked up.

But at the critical moment, the Dark Knight tore off his arm and retreated.

This liquid was the blood gushing from the wound that severed the other person's shoulder.

It is jet black and warm, unlike human blood.

"Tch, pshaw!"

Li Zheng spat out a drop of blood that had just been splashed into his mouth, feeling resentful that his sure-fire move had been dodged in such a way.

The blood tasted sweet, like concentrated syrup; just one drop was cloyingly sweet.

"Sweeter than nutrient solution? You must have diabetes!"

As the Dark Warrior repeatedly tapped his shoulder with one hand until the gushing blood slowly stopped, Li Zheng grabbed the severed arm with both hands and forcefully tore it in two.

"With one arm missing, let's see how long you can last!"

Throwing away his severed arm, Li Zheng gripped his sheathed sword again and strode forward.

He hooked his foot along the way and retrieved the other half of the scabbard that he had thrown away in mid-air, then yanked it out with a flick of his wrist.

Clang, clang, clang.

On the other side, the dagger was drawn, and the short stick was flung away by Li Zheng again.

The attack was so sudden that Li Zheng was unable to put away the capsule residence, and the extra sheath sword parts could only be scattered everywhere.

"It's really inconvenient not having capsule accommodations."

Li Zheng cursed inwardly, but his movements were swift; he raised his sword and slashed.

Unfortunately, the Night Warrior was simply too fast, and with the Eye Demon Boots not having a cooldown, he couldn't catch up with the opponent at all.

Every attack was dodged by the opponent, and Li Zheng roared repeatedly, his eyes flashing with purple flames.

Although the violent and murderous aura in his heart would interfere with Li Zheng's emotions, he still had basic rationality and knew that continuing like this would be detrimental to him.

"If this continues, the power of the Demonic Avatar will end, the tide of battle will turn, and I'll be like beef on a chopping board."

Li Zheng glanced at the Gene Force; he could still maintain his transformation ability for eighteen seconds.

Li Zheng abruptly stopped his pursuit, abandoning the injured Night Warrior and turning to fly towards Xiao Ying.

"Let's team up with Sakura and Pink Polly and take one down together!"

Although the two sides were far apart, Li Zheng disregarded energy consumption and fully activated the aircraft. In just four seconds, he arrived near Xiaoying.

This area has been filled with stone pillars planted by Sakura. The terrain has changed, and the densely packed stone pillars are a perfect counter to the speed that the Night Warrior excels at.

"No wonder, I was wondering why there were no hidden weapons attacking from behind, it turns out they were trapped by Sakura."

To be honest, Sakura's ability to come up with this method to delay the Night Warriors and even secretly save herself some trouble is remarkable.

This strategic vision in battle was beyond Li Zheng's expectations. In his mind, Sakura had hardly experienced any battles since birth.

Even with multiple powerful abilities, it would be difficult to fully utilize them. "Since the little guy has such high combat talent, we can't let it go to waste. Starting tomorrow, let Sakura fight as many enemies as possible to fully develop her talent."

Li Zheng tilted his head slightly and glanced behind him. The Night Warrior, who was missing an arm, was hanging not too far behind him. He had already gone to the severed arm to retrieve the strangely shaped weapon.

Seemingly sensing that Li Zheng was watching it, the Black Night Warrior paused slightly in its pursuit and rushed to the side, intending to enter the cluster of stone pillars before Li Zheng.

"Hmph, as cunning as a fox." Li Zheng said with some regret. He had deliberately exposed his back to the other party's view all the way, leaving himself wide open.

Surprisingly, the other party didn't fall for it, making him seem like he was "overestimating himself."

"Fourteen seconds left, that's enough!" Li Zheng crashed headfirst into the cluster of stone pillars.

In an instant, a row of stone pillars appeared before me, obstructing my view. In the darkness, I could not even see the blind spots under the stone pillars not far away.

However, none of these are problems. No matter how secure the stone pillars are, this is still Sakura's territory.

"Sakura, cooperate with me!" Li Zheng shouted, then followed the sound of Pink Poli's punch and went deep into the cluster of stone pillars.

"Aww~" Sakura flew up and responded loudly, indicating that she understood.

The next second, a black needle as thin as a cow's hair and about the length of an index finger suddenly shot out at high speed from within the cluster of stone pillars.

Sakura was startled, but luckily she was already on guard and quickly lowered her altitude to avoid the attack.

However, in that one glance, Sakura had already spotted Li Zheng's location.

Rumble!
Rumble!
Two more stone pillars appeared in the forest of stone pillars, but several pillars disappeared silently in front of Li Zheng, making the space in front of him suddenly feel more spacious.

In the dim light, Li Zheng saw a figure completely black flash by in the shadow of a stone pillar not far ahead.

"Got you!"

The Demonic Avatar could only last for ten seconds. Li Zheng's expression shifted, he deactivated the flying device on his back, and landed silently on the ground.

When the levitation thrusters are activated, they spew out a large amount of airflow, making a lot of noise. In such an environment, it would undoubtedly expose one's existence.

After landing, Li Zheng tried his best to suppress his emotions and conceal the purple flames in his eyes, minimizing any possible signs of his presence.

Slowing down, Li Zheng turned a corner in the forest of stone pillars without making a sound.

But he himself had also lost the figure of the dark warrior he had just seen.

Old Pu can provide the general direction of the other party, but Li Zheng will have to find the exact location himself.

clap clap clap!
Not far away, the sound of Pink Poring's strange fist striking could be heard, indicating that it had encountered the Night Warrior.

Li Zheng was not in a hurry. After determining the direction, he hid behind a stone pillar.

The Demonic Avatar has six seconds left.

Five seconds.

Four seconds,

three seconds.

Just then, a dark figure turned a corner and appeared right in front of Li Zheng.

The shadowy figure was missing an arm; it was the same Night Warrior who had been locked in a fierce battle with Li Zheng earlier.

This corner was also the spot Li Zheng chose as a sure-fire killing location after judging the general direction of the enemy.

With the hints given by Lao Pu, finding such a corner is not difficult at all.

欻!
The longsword slashed through the air, while the other hand flung out a dagger, which shot towards the base of a stone pillar not far away.

That's the direction the other party is most likely to avoid within this small area.

puff!
The sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh rang out, and Li Zheng twisted his wrist, lunging towards the spot where the dagger had been thrown.

"die!"

One sword, and the head is severed!

Everything happened in the blink of an eye; from the moment the two met to the moment a sword severed the head of the Night Warrior, it wasn't even a second!
"Next!"

After shaking off the bloodstains on his sword, Li Zheng turned around and headed towards Xiaoying.
