There is nothing wrong with the training method of the Justice Messenger

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, what's going on?!"

Dalian Temple and Jianshan did not expect that during one round of fighting, it was Li Nian who retreated and was hit hard. His clothes on his chest were torn, blood was dripping underneath, his skin was torn and the bones were visible. It seemed that he was seriously injured. They all cried out in surprise.

Dalian Si looked at the horrific gap and judged that the injury was serious enough to be fatal. He turned pale with fright and took out the talisman to perform the healing technique.

"It's okay, I can't die."

Li Nian stretched out his hand to stop her from casting the spell, because his vitality had already begun to take effect. His injuries looked horrible, but in fact they were not a problem for him.

Even so, his body was a little unstable and his mind was not very clear, which was the sequelae of massive blood loss. He shook his head vigorously, and as the blood was produced again in his body and transported to various parts of his body under the strong beating of his heart, he gradually got rid of the feeling of exhaustion.

"It's so scary..." The young man came to his senses, but he was not relieved that he was rescued so easily. Instead, he looked solemnly at Li Nian who seemed to be seriously injured.

When Li Nian raised his head, he had regained consciousness. His expression was cold and serious. He didn't bother to care about the wound on his chest, thinking it would heal naturally if left alone. He just stared at the man in kimono holding a knife who was standing in front of the young man.

There were originally two people behind the young man, but the girl had disappeared, and the man in kimono had a gorgeous long sword in his hand. The two auras still existed, from which it can be seen that the long sword was probably transformed by the girl.

It is not surprising that spiritual beings can change their forms and turn into long swords according to certain rules. The important thing is not this little thing, but that in this confrontation, Li Nian realized some key information at the cost of being stabbed. He immediately shared it with Dalian Temple and Jianshan beside him.

"That man and that knife are both very strange. My ice knife was not destroyed in the collision at the physical and energy levels, but was cut off at the level of the magic formula. The knife also absorbs blood, and when it hit me, it took away a lot of blood... In short, this guy is very dangerous." After Li Nian came to the conclusion, he seriously put forward his opinion: "Listen, I have to deal with this man, and you two should not act rashly."

"...Do you want to continue?" Dalian Temple was alert to the people over there and said with concern: "You are injured like this, shouldn't you retreat in time now?"

"It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about."

"It's said to be a minor injury..." Dalian Si suddenly stopped talking when he saw the wound on Li Nian's chest, which was growing and closing at a speed visible to the naked eye under the influence of some force.

Jianshan heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this. He had long known that Li Nian had some amazing recovery ability, so he didn't worry too much. But he still asked with concern.

"Are you sure you want to continue fighting?"

"I've suffered a loss from a strange move. It won't happen again the first time." At this time, he had already roughly guessed some of the enemy's nature. Li Nian waved his hand, and a crystal clear long sword slowly took shape in his hand. Its exquisiteness was far superior to the ice knife that he had casually condensed before. It was a real spiritual sword that was being drawn out.

Then Li Nian looked at the man in kimono and smiled happily under the circumstances.

"It hurts so much. After being stabbed like that, there's no reason not to slash back."

Chapter 247: Taking Back a City

"...You can still laugh?"

Dalian Temple and Jianshan both looked at Li Nian with strange eyes. This guy was clearly stabbed and walked through the gates of hell. There was blood on his chest. He should be in great pain. Why was he still smiling? He looked very happy?

Li Nian was really happy.

Li Nian himself was a little puzzled. He clearly felt a heavy pressure from his opponent. It was a rare encounter with a strong enemy, but he felt relaxed and a little excited. It seemed that the fog in his mind had dissipated a little, and his thoughts became clear and active...

I don't really understand why, but at least I realized that I could move my body after a long time.

The spiritual sword in his hand has been completely formed, completing the transformation from virtual to real.

Li Nian had constructed this knife once before using a blueprint he had selected from the arsenal. He had long since taken a fancy to its properties and had memorized them, intending to use them when he had the chance.

——It’s just that there has never been any opportunity to use it.

Since being attacked by two big monsters, there are rarely opponents strong enough when encountering spiritual disasters. Needless to say, the first and second types of spiritual disasters can be dealt with without killing people with knives. As for the enemies encountered in the third type of spiritual disasters, they can often be killed with a single blow. It is enough to condense an ice knife or a fire knife, and there is no need to construct any fancy weapons.

This time I met an opponent who seemed to be quite powerful, and I constructed this spiritual sword out of necessity. Only then did I discover that the information about this sword seemed to have been updated. This spiritual sword had been further strengthened on the original world line, so it would take a little more time to rebuild it now... but of course, it also consumed more mana.

Jianshan noticed the weapon in Li Nian's hand, glanced at the blade, and his attention was involuntarily drawn to it.

It was a long sword that seemed to be made of ice crystals. The blade was crystal clear and emitted a soft blue light. It looked extremely gorgeous.

In his spiritual vision, the knife exuded an unusually strong presence, and seemed different from usual. It was obviously not the ice knife that this guy usually condensed to deal with things. Isayama couldn't help but ask.

"What kind of knife is that...?"

"Spiritual sword."

"… You can tell from this that it's a question of your name."

"It's called [Cold Prison Ice Sky]."

"Will it not be easily cut off again?" Isayama always felt that the blade seemed quite fragile.

"We'll know after trying it later."

Li Nian took the knife in his hand and poured spiritual power into it without encountering any hindrance. He even established a mysterious connection as if it were one with flesh and blood. He had completely grasped its nature. It was clearly a new knife in his hand, but it felt like he had used it for many years. He felt very comfortable with it.

However, he no longer had any interest in admiring the gorgeous long sword in his hand. A sword was just a sword. It was a weapon used to kill the enemy. It didn't matter whether it was beautiful or not.

Li Nian's eyes were fixed on the man standing opposite her.

The man in kimono was facing this side with the knife in both hands. He had a very steady posture and his face was as cold as ever. It seemed that he had nothing to say even if he was hit.

When Li Nian looked at this man again, he realized that he was not just a weird guy in ancient costume. Looking at his whole aura, this guy seemed to be a... warrior.

"What's your name?" Li Nian asked.

"...Yato."

After asking this question, I finally heard this guy speak. His voice was cold and he said a strange name.

"Okay, I'll write it on your tombstone later."

Li Nian remembered the name seriously, but stretched out one hand, reconstructed the scabbard, and inserted the magic sword back into the scabbard.

Just as he was wondering about the action that seemed like a truce, Li Nian put one hand on the hilt of the sword, took a step forward, then lowered his body and made the starting posture for drawing the sword.

Without any hesitation, he really drew his sword.

There was a light "clang" sound, which was the sound made by Li Nian when he pulled out the knife an inch.

The next moment, countless cold knife lights were pushed in front of the man.

Jianshan's scalp tingled as he watched, and he felt that every ray of sword light contained terrifying energy. He subconsciously imagined that he was standing there, and was terrified.

But the man just casually swung his sword to meet the attack, and thus easily cut off all the oncoming sword lights. After all, the sword lights that were made up of spiritual power were shattered due to being cut off, and turned into a cold wind that swept across the man, causing him to frown, and he felt his whole body being invaded by a deep chill.

But the man didn't have time to think about it. There was a loud bang and Li Nian had already stepped on the cracked ground and rushed straight in front of him. This time he drew his sword completely and swung it horizontally with great force.

The man raised his knife to block the attack.

This time, when the blades collided, the flowing light flashed by, and the impact point made a particularly harsh sound, as if cut by a saw, but Li Nian's seemingly fragile crystal spirit knife was unusually tough. It remained motionless under the cutting of some force, and still steadily output energy and strength. This time, the man failed to cut off Li Nian's weapon as he wished, so he had to bear the outpouring of all Li Nian's strength.

Even so, it was within the man's expectations. It was just a return to a head-on knife fight, which was exactly what he was good at - the man thought so at first, but when he felt the huge force coming from his arm, and even felt that he could not bear it, surprise appeared in the man's eyes for the first time. He did not expect that even though it was a head-on confrontation, the human's strength was actually above his.

Li Nian's strength has been growing with his daily practice. As the days go by, he becomes stronger day by day. He is now far from the time when he was easily defeated by Kidomaru in just a few moves.

Now he holds a powerful spiritual sword in his hand, which seems to be integrated with his body. The spiritual power flows freely between the sword and the man, and the fusion is perfect. They complement each other and are further strengthened. In addition, Li Nian deliberately put the sword into the sheath to accumulate strength. This sword is not so easy to catch when it is swung out.

So after a brief tug of war, Li Nian used his strength to crush the man's long sword, and as a result, the man's chest was clearly exposed.

This was a fleeting opportunity, but it was within Li Nian's calculations. He certainly seized it and did not swing his knife again immediately. Instead, he took a step forward, closed the distance at once, and thrust forward with the scabbard in hand, hitting the man directly in the abdomen before slashing him down with one blow.

The man was hit hard in the stomach and let out a muffled groan, but he had already jumped back without hesitation, using the force of the hit to create a greater distance. At the same time, he swept his sword horizontally, slightly blocking Li Nian's next direct blow.

In this way, he barely avoided being cut in half by the knife, but he was still hit on the shoulder and the knife moved to the abdomen, causing his skin to be torn and blood to flow. However, he managed to avoid death.

He had the idea of ​​capturing him alive before, but after being slashed with a knife with the intention of killing him, Li Nian no longer had the patience and had changed his mindset. Now he didn't just want to slash back, but wanted to kill his opponent directly, and this knife was merciless.

During the brief confrontation, both sides confirmed the other's strength and obtained new information.

Li Nian was sure that his spiritual sword would not be cut off, while the man realized that this human's explosive power was actually stronger than his own.

At the same time, they adjusted their thinking based on accepting the facts.

——In that case, let’s defeat it head-on.

——You have to avoid the sharp edge and deal with it well.

As the man was flying backwards, he passed by the young man he was originally protecting behind him and whispered quickly.

"Father, I have to deal with this man."

The young man smiled and replied, "Go, don't die."

As he was talking, Li Nian had already caught up with him and slashed at him again. The man raised his knife to block, but this time he didn't try to hold on. He just used the force to adjust his direction and jumped away, stepping on the street lamp and leaping onto the tall building.

Li Nian understood this guy's intention very well. He was planning to start a fight with him. He was not in a hurry to catch up with him, but glanced at the young man next to him.

If you must say, that was their original purpose in launching the fight.

But soon, Li Nian's gaze fell back on the man in kimono who was looking down at this place from a high position.

Now, Li Nian is more interested in this man.

"Isayama, Dalianji, the rest of the guys are in your hands."

After saying this, Li Nian flashed and caught up with him.

"When-when-when-"

Watching the two streams of light colliding in the sky, listening to the rhythmic sound of iron hammering filling the silent space, and realizing that his men were the suppressed party, the young man couldn't help but sigh, "Are the young people these days so powerful?"

Then he smiled and said to the two girls over there: "Let's make a deal. Can the rest of us just watch?"

"Luan Honglian! Let's go."

"Hurry up and obey the command! Don't move the golden bonds!"

What answered him were the monsters that pounced on him, the flashes of swords that chopped him down, and the high-speed attacks of magic, which represented the attitudes of the two exorcists.

"I think so..."

The young man sighed, and a Zen staff appeared in his hand. Facing attacks from three directions, he simply slammed the staff to the ground.

A circular magic circle was unfolded with the point where the tail hit the ground as the center, and a strong barrier was generated with the edge of the magic circle as the boundary, which was pushed out as the circle expanded.

After Isayama raised her sword and chopped at the barrier, she could not move forward an inch and felt a huge reaction force. She was bounced away after only a moment of stalemate. The shikigami Ran Honglian, which she summoned from the spiritual sword, also suffered the same fate after hitting the barrier.

As for the Dalian Temple's technique, he didn't know that the Golden Binding Technique was a technique for binding, so he had no ability to attack and was easily stopped, and it turned into ordinary spiritual power and dissipated.

Jianshan rolled over and fell to the ground, and the monster beside him also fell down. They were all fine, but Jianshan raised his head and looked at the young man with a gloomy expression.

Dalian Temple took out new talisman paper and his expression became serious.

They were not surprised that their attacks were blocked. They had long realized that the young man in front of them was no good and would not be taken down so easily. However, seeing the strength and speed of the defensive technique, they could not help but raise their estimate of this guy's strength in their hearts.

This young man is probably also a powerful wizard.

The young man shook his head and dissuaded him.

"You can't catch me by yourself, don't waste your energy."

As he spoke, his gaze turned to the other side of the sky, as if he was more concerned about the situation over there.

"How dare you say that in front of my child prodigy."

"How will you know if you don't try."

Dalianji and Jianshan exchanged glances and decided to coordinate the attack.

Immediately, Dalian Temple sprinkled five pieces of talisman paper in front of him. The talisman papers were fixed in the air with the support of an invisible force, and the five corners were connected to form a pentagram magic circle. Dalian Temple no longer had his usual arrogant or dignified look, but a calm and focused expression that Li Nian and others had never seen before. He made a seal with one hand and recited a spell.

Isayama's fingertips stroked the blade of the Lion King, and flames burned around the blade.

"Ok?"

The young man, who felt some powerful fluctuations, changed his expression slightly and looked back at the two women over there. He saw that the strong flash had turned into a sharp arrow and was heading straight towards him.

Then, it crashed into the barrier in front of the young man. With a flash of light, the barrier successfully blocked the attack, but cracks appeared under this simple blow.

But Jianshan had already rushed there, raised his sword and stabbed the center of the pattern accurately, as if hitting fragile glass. With a loud bang, the solid barrier was broken, and the blade continued to stab the young man.

The young man was quite surprised. He was well aware of the strength of his own technique. It was a powerful barrier built on the foundation of his own powerful magic power, and once formed it would automatically absorb the surrounding spiritual power to strengthen itself. He thought that just leaving it like this would be enough for the two juniors to smash it for a long time, but he didn't expect that the explosive power of these two people was so strong.

The young man had no choice but to swing his Zen stick to push away the blade. He thought to himself, "Just now I said that young people are powerful, but I still underestimated them."

His gaze temporarily skipped over the black-haired girl in front of him and looked at the child prodigy behind her. Dalian Temple's chanting was still continuing. Unconsciously, new magic circles appeared around her. It was also a permanent spell formed by absorbing the surrounding spiritual power and its own magic power, constantly transforming spiritual power. The next moment, light streams of different attributes turned into new sharp arrows, shot out from those magic circles, and attacked this side.

After all, she is a genuine national first-class exorcist. The wizard has transformed into a turret in a short period of time. The girl with great magical powers that are inconsistent with her age, with her rich knowledge and skilled control, can convert magical powers at will to output powerful attacks.

As expected of a child prodigy, he has such magical power and strength at this age. It was unimaginable in the past. The education of mages in modern times is really...

The young man thought so and raised his palm towards the attacking Jianshan. She was about to follow up with a knife, but there was a strong push coming towards her. She was knocked back a step and her offensive was paused. The young man took advantage of the gap and put his palms together.

Jianshan knew full well that he was going to perform another spell.

If the powerful defensive technique just now were to be deployed again, the serious young man would definitely not give Jianshan and Dalianji such a good attack opportunity again.

But at this time, Isayama had already communicated with the monster Ranganlian, who was in tune with her mind, and deliberately arranged for her shikigami to be a step slower when attacking. Now that she was temporarily repelled, Ranganlian happened to pounce on her from behind.

The young man had to give up the seal and swung his staff to fight off the huge monster. Jianshan on the other side had recovered from his momentary stiffness and immediately swung his sword. It was a reverse cassock move, with great force and power, which directly knocked the young man's staff away. Jianshan twisted his body forward and swung his sword horizontally, hitting the young man's stomach with the back of the sword and knocking him away.
