Uegusa instructed in dissatisfaction: "Xiao Huangquan, you are laughing too happily! This is the place to show a grief-stricken expression!"

Isayama couldn't do it. She was just so happy to be able to attack Li Nian that she was too lazy to follow the plot with Li Nian after she finished her lines. Instead, she stopped defending and immediately switched to the offensive, actively launching an attack on Li Nian.

She swung a whip of feather ribbons at Li Nian, forcing him away. At the same time, countless magic arrays appeared around her, rapidly accumulating energy at a terrifying speed - that was the light cannon deployment technique she learned from Li Nian's array, and it was also the attack method that Li Nian had used to blast her everywhere before.

Isayama smiled crookedly, wanting to retaliate wantonly: "You should have a taste of this too! Running around...you're not going to run away?"

Isayama's expression turned into surprise. This was because Li Nian turned around to avoid the whip from Yuyi, stepped on the ground and rushed to her at a burst of speed. At this time, he struck out with a sword, recreating Isayama's slashing attack of combining mind, body, skills and energy, but using a stabbing move of the sword, stabbing at a speed that Isayama could hardly react to now, and the angle of the cut was to use Isayama as a cover, avoiding the direct attack of the light cannon.

Isayama dodged immediately, but because he was distracted by the unfolding of the manipulation technique, he failed to completely avoid the flash of light. The light became brighter, and the defensive technique that had been applied to her was activated. As a result, the stab became much weaker and shifted its angle. The stab that was originally aimed at her forehead ended up leaving only a tiny scratch on Isayama's face.

The stinging pain suddenly calmed Jianshan down. Yes, how could she underestimate Li Nian? Even if this guy became weaker, he would not be a helpless prey. He could use his limited strength to find all the flaws and attack.

Li Nian pretended to chop, because it was so familiar, and Isayama could tell from the beginning that it was the second swift slash. He knew that for this guy, repeating the skills he had studied was a piece of cake.

Jianshan immediately jumped back and dodged in advance. As expected, Li Nian swung his sword at a lightning speed. Jianshan had foresight and was able to dodge in time. He immediately activated the technique and fired the accumulated light cannon. At the same time, Yuyi swung out. Li Nian could not react in time and only dodged the first ray of light attack, but was hit actually by Yuyi. He flew backwards and spit out a mouthful of blood.

He didn't use any magic to defend himself.

Jianshan was stunned for only a moment, but he didn't know whether Li Nian's performance was acting or not. He only saw the man who fell to the ground start to run away, looking like he was jumping naked. At the same time, he took advantage of the cover of the pillar and quickly approached.

Li Nian was about to launch another attack, and he obviously had no intention of stopping just because of the injury. Jianshan did not doubt what would happen to Li Nian due to this level of attack. He immediately threw away the few hesitant thoughts, waved his hand, and the light flows were activated one after another, bombarding in an orderly manner.

Li Nian's previous attack on her was also very methodical, full of predictions, coercion, and blockades of Jianshan's movements, but there were deliberate loopholes - Jianshan could not make as meticulous arrangements as Li Nian, but he did not want to leave any loopholes for Li Nian at all. He was trying to arrange the attack in order to kill him. At the same time, he injected cursed power into the feather robe, and the ribbons grew wildly, wrapping around her like tentacles as she wished. She did not want to let Li Nian get close, knowing that his only chance in this state was a close-range attack, and did not intend to give him such a chance of winning.

Li Nian suddenly stopped, and with a burst of power, he swung his sword to deflect the feathered clothes that were entangled with him. The feathered clothes that were broken away blocked several beams of light, and he hid in the gaps to avoid subsequent attacks.

After that, Li Nian either dodged or attacked, and his reaction was just like Isayama's before. He did not show more transcendent power, but it was obvious that his sword-swinging movements were much less and there were not too large movements. The purpose was only to open up a very small space. Therefore, his attacks were more precise and restrained, and more of Isayama's long-range attacks missed.

This method of defense made it almost impossible for Jianshan to hit Li Nian, and his efforts were in vain.

Jianshan thought that he wanted to hold his ground, so he adjusted his attacks to become more intensive. Li Nian suddenly moved again, running from one end of the hall to the other. Jianshan thought that he had changed his tactics and wanted to focus on escaping with the help of cover, so he tried to block him again. He stopped again and suddenly kicked the broken pillar. Jianshan immediately shattered the pillar, which turned into a cloud of dust.

Then a pillar of fire surged out. It was the Fire Realm Curse that Isayama also knew. It rushed out from the dust and fog, making it impossible to dodge.

Jianshan waved her feather robe to meet the attack, trying to disperse the pillar of fire and the dust and mist together, but Li Nian broke through the dust and mist at this moment and leaped in front of her, as if firing a cannon, and swung the sword horizontally with the same explosive power.

Li Nian found another excellent opportunity. Jianshan was unable to react, and the sword that was swung towards his throat successfully hit him. Jianshan's defensive technique was activated in time, causing the sword to bounce off, leaving only a wound on his neck.

The second time.

Without the protection of defensive spells, these would be two fatal attacks.

Thanks to the protection of the technique, Isayama only suffered some minor scratches.

Isayama, however, was extremely shocked and recited the next lines from the bottom of his heart.

"As expected of you...but this is the end."

Using the same limited strength and means as his own, in the face of Isayama's relentless attack, the warrior fought for the few remaining chances of victory and two chances of winning with more flexible changes, smarter responses, and more decisive judgments.

But Isayama won't give him a third chance.

In a blink of an eye, most of the stone pillars in the hall were broken. Those that were close had already been deliberately broken by Jianshan first. The remaining stone pillars were scattered farther away, and there was a large open flat land in front of them.

Jianshan was confident that he could use intensive magic attacks to force Li Nian to stop in front of him before he could escape. Even if Li Nian could escape again, Jianshan would prioritize clearing out those cover and leveling the entire area, leaving Li Nian with no conditions to deal with him. He did it as he thought of it. Jianshan had already launched all the magic he had accumulated, some attacking Li Nian, some attacking those cover, and he himself waved his feather robe and threw it up, intending to launch a synchronized attack.

Jianshan thought that Li Nian would dodge, use the force to bounce off, and then start to maneuver, just like he just did... But this time, Li Nian did not do so.

He chose the moment when Isayama swung his feather robe to attack, rushed forward straightly and swung his sword.

This trajectory inevitably caused Li Nian to collide with Yu Yi's attack. This time, he didn't even use the most basic spiritual power to defend his body, and his body was directly pierced - but his attack was not delayed at all.

Isayama stopped all movements and the tip of the sword stopped in front of her neck.

The third fatal attack.

Oh yes, how could she forget that in addition to being smart, calm and decisive, ferocity is also one of Li Nian's characteristics. This guy is an expert in self-sacrificing attacks. He will move forward even when there is a way to retreat, let alone when there is no way to retreat.

Chapter 410: This gorgeous dance lays a solid foundation for animation production

The pure white feathers pierced through the flesh and were naturally dyed red by the blood, which looked extremely terrifying.

Although it was not the first time that Li Nian was bleeding and injured, no one was shocked, but they still held their breath for the seemingly serious injury. Even Wu Geng, who had just said that he would smile and open champagne on the day Li Nian died, became worried and cursed: "Even if the injury is serious, it can be easily recovered after a while like recovering HP. It's not a reason for you to do such a reckless thing, right? You idiot, don't you know how to take care of your body?"

Isayama had the same feeling, and was so immersed in the situation of being defeated by the weaker Li Nian with his superior strength that he forgot for a moment that he was still in the middle of a performance... Can this still be called a performance?

It was Li Nian who reminded her, whispering to her in a state of being exposed: "Continue reading your lines."

Isayama came back to his senses, remembered his lines, and continued reading.

"...I told you, my king, you can't defeat me...because you can't kill me."

According to the script, the God of War will indeed suffer seemingly fatal injuries from the devil's self-sacrificing attack, but the serious injuries that can kill humans are of no use to God, and the damage will be healed in an instant because the faith of all living beings maintains her existence.

When he said this line, Isayama felt something was really magical, and was wondering who was the one that couldn't be killed?

“…It seems to be true.” Wang’s voice was weak, revealing a sense of being seriously injured and weak. Although he was “seriously injured” at this time, his tone was still indifferent. He did not seem to feel sorry for desperately trying to find an opportunity to attack, but succeeding, but still being useless and unable to achieve the goal of killing the God of War and ending the war. Instead, he seemed to be more convinced and said with emotion: “It seems that if I want to kill you, I have to subvert you from the most fundamental place first.”

Li Nian is still very dedicated to his work and has not broken away from the state of playing the role of the devil. He feels that being an exorcist is a waste of talent. He should go to Hollywood for further studies. It should be easy to become a movie emperor and he will definitely earn more than being an exorcist who has to work hard to carry out tasks.

Isayama sighed. She didn't need Uegusa to look directly at her. She acted on impulse and did something that was not in the script. She reached out and touched the man's cheek. She spoke the next line with pity from the bottom of her heart: "Why are you trying so hard? You've tried, right? You've failed, right? Then it's not too late to give up now. Give up resisting. You're still my king."

Even though he was resisted, pointed at with a sword, and even really hurt, the god was not angry. Instead, he liked this warrior even more and wanted him to be his helper and always be by his side. He still tried to win back the devil's heart and could still forgive him at this point.

"I reject."

The king's answer was clear and decisive, and he swung his sword again.

The god discarded his feather robe and jumped back, when he looked again, the runes on the king's robe lit up, and the spell written on it was activated. It was originally a door-opening spell that allowed the king who was at war abroad to escape back to his homeland, but now he was using it in reverse, to open the door and leave this world he had managed for many years.

Before leaving, the king swore: "I will definitely destroy you."

The god felt sorry that she could not keep the warrior by her side, but she was happy when she thought that this persistent man would fight her to the death and bring new fun to her as the god of war. She did not stop the king from leaving, but smiled and said to him who was about to leave: "Then I will wait and see."

The king was swallowed by the darkness in the door, and after a while, even the door disappeared.

After the play was over, everyone was still in a daze, and suddenly a curious voice came from the side: "How do you feel? Did I perform well?"

Everyone was startled and turned around. It was naturally the disappeared "king" - Li Nian, who appeared beside them and solemnly opened a dark door, but in fact he just used the teleportation technique.

At this time, he was still dressed as the Demon King. His robe was damaged in the battle, and the wound on his abdomen was bloody and still bleeding.

The performance was indeed quite successful. Kamiigusa had many inspirations. After watching such a performance that followed the script, her ideas for making an animated short film were completely opened up. But at this moment, she rarely did not immerse herself in those inspirations. She immediately gave new instructions to Li Nian and scolded him immediately: "Idiot! Stop deliberately getting hurt! It's so scary!"

"...Don't you want to see a river of blood?"

“It’s actually pretty scary to see it, so forget it.”

"Oh fine."

Isayama, who was still dressed as a girl with white hair, came over and said unhappily, "You are such a dedicated actor. Jackie Chan is not as hardworking as you. You have to reproduce the effect of injury 100%, right?"

"...For both of us, what happened just now was a real battle. The point is, is my approach of handling the situation of any use to you?"

"Ahhh, I've learned so much, it's just to make me smarter, calmer, more decisive, and more fierce when fighting. Wow, it sounds so simple." Isayama said sarcastically: "Thank you for showing me what a true self-sacrificing attack means. The fighting method of killing the enemy regardless of life or death is so valuable to learn."

"...That is indeed not worth learning." Li Nian was not unaware that his behavior was too extreme, and he did not intend to really let Isayama learn his fighting style of exchanging my injury for your death. After all, if he was not careful, the result would be the opposite. Li Nian was so reckless because he had the support of vitality, and he did not want Isayama to really fall into a situation where he had to fight so hard: "In the battle, you should still prioritize preserving yourself."

"I really hope you can do this yourself." Isayama said solemnly, "I know that your body's recovery ability is even more exaggerated than that of a big monster, but this should not be a reason for you to fight like a berserker and risk your life - I guess it's useless to persuade you like this, at least think more about the people who are worried about you."

Isayama glanced in the direction of Gogen.

Wu Geng looked away, pretending not to see it, and said stubbornly: "It doesn't matter. I said that if this guy really dies, I will just open champagne to celebrate."

Sawamura found it funny to see her like that, so he crossed his arms and tossed his ponytail: "Translated, it means [Humph, I don't care whether you live or die, Sine Sine!]"

Gogen glared at him, "What do you mean by acting like a tsundere, you blonde with twin ponytails?"

"I'm not a tsundere, it's just the literal meaning." Sawamura smiled.

“… Remember this.”

"Wow, I'm so scared."

"Student Li Nian, please don't do this again." Kato advised seriously: "I am really worried when I see this."

Others followed suit, and even Akasaka Ryunosuke issued a warning in his own way.

"Gorilla, please consider how we feel when we need to study the video footage over and over again. The bloody and mangled images are really disgusting."

Shang Jingcao urged Li Nian: "Answer!"

Li Nian shrugged: "Yes, yes, I will pay attention."

"It's the classic attitude of 'I know I'm wrong but I won't change'... From now on, no matter what, you have to add defensive spells to yourself, otherwise I won't practice with you anymore." Isayama said helplessly: "I really can't do it if you're so crazy. I can only have the heart to chop you if you put on a shell to protect yourself."

"...Then let's do it this way. There's no need to emphasize it again. I'm not a pervert who likes to get hurt. I hate pain, too."

"Okay, that's fine. Let's do it again, this time..." Kamiigusa clapped her hands to signal everyone to get back to work. Not wanting Li Nian to get hurt didn't mean she would feel embarrassed to use Li Nian to achieve her own goals. At this moment, she had many new ideas in her mind to make Li Nian and Isayama reunite.

Afterwards, the actors performed once, the director added instructions, and the actors performed again - Isayama and Li Nian repeated this process nearly ten times.

During this period, the damaged hall was constantly repaired, and Li Nian also honestly added defensive spells to himself, so he did not suffer any scary injuries.

Everyone began to get used to the earthquake-like roars echoing in the arena and the visual effects of the two people fighting with inhuman strength. They were able to hold a mentality of watching the show, pointing fingers, and also making some pertinent comments.

Thanks to the strong abilities of Li Nian and Isayama, they were able to recreate the previous gorgeous moves, implement more instructions from Kamiigusa in the next performance, and add new changes to the actual fight.

Isayama was able to maintain his enthusiasm during the increasingly repetitive drills purely because Kamiigusa added more and more "plots in which the devil was defeated", requiring Isayama to attack in different ways, and also requiring Li Nian not to dodge so neatly, but to actively take the beatings. Isayama found it fun to be able to shoot laser cannons at will, forcing Li Nian, a bastard who had to take them, to fly everywhere, and it gave him a chance to let out the anger in his chest.

By the way, Kamiigusa is well aware of the importance of selling benefits, and he also added an interactive segment between the Demon King and God, asking them to behave more intimately - that is, to let the goddess take advantage of the Demon King more. Isayama happily took advantage of Li Nian and touched this guy's neck, face, chest and abdominal muscles.

Gogen strongly opposed this, believing that this plot was redundant and useless, but was rejected by Kamiigusa on the grounds that the female audience needed to be catered to. Kasumigaoka then said that she also wanted to play the role of a goddess and perform and touch, and Kamiigusa agreed, but was rejected by Li Nian.

As the one who was beaten and molested all the time, Li Nian naturally became gradually irritable.

Or maybe Kamiigusa's demands became more and more excessive, and the various elements added seemed more and more unnecessary, making Li Nian feel more and more like she was being treated like a toy. She couldn't stand it anymore and called a halt to the filming. Only then did Isayama and Kamiigusa stop the performance reluctantly, and everyone also stopped coming up with more tricks to test the limits of Li Nian's methods reluctantly.

Everyone gathered together to watch the final version of the performance video. It was also the first time that Li Nian and Isayama saw their confrontation from the camera's perspective. Kamiigusa's painstaking efforts to add fuel to the fire were effective. The final performance video clip felt extremely gorgeous, and had the feeling of an excellent movie.

Li Nian stroked his beard, feeling quite pleased with himself. He felt that he had portrayed the king's temperament in the video to the point where it seemed real. His sword-dancing movements were extremely gorgeous. He sighed, "I really can't hide my handsomeness. A true man doesn't need to act. Every move I make naturally shows my kingly aura."

Isayama also felt that he had made a great contribution to showing the goddess' liveliness, nobility, strength, purity, and even charm to the fullest, and smiled happily: "Misaki and you are so lucky to find a female lead like me who is naturally beautiful and capable of fighting."

Only at this time did everyone not take the words of the two leading actors as a joke, because it was indeed the case.

Only Li Nian could provide the environment, technology, venue, and special effects to facilitate this magnificent performance and demonstrate the king's temperament and power.

There are few girls like Isayama who can perform the feeling of a female warrior. She can complete this gorgeous dance with Li Nian by fighting with him.

Akasaka, who had always been serious, nodded with satisfaction. He felt that his hard work in providing the equipment, helping with debugging and filming had paid off. He smiled with a sense of accomplishment: "This kind of video material has a very high value..."

"Not to mention making an animation for Uegusa-senpai, it would be a big hit if it was posted online alone, right?" An Yi's eyes lit up, and he had some new ideas: "Anian, you really can do everything... It seems like it should be easy to become a celebrity, right? If you are determined, you might become an idol more famous than that Dairenji Suzuka?"

"Not interested." Li Nian refused without hesitation, and saw the purpose of his words: "In order to save the club that can't sell the game, you need me to stand up and become an idol? Don't even think about it! Let me help you promote galgame by becoming an Internet celebrity - that sounds too stupid."

"...It seems so."

"Then, are the existing video materials sufficient to solve the technical problems for your animation production?" Li Nian turned to ask Igusa.

"Not enough!" Ueigusa opened his mouth and said, "I want more..."

Senior Ren immediately stepped forward and covered her mouth: "Enough, enough, too much."

This is not just a polite remark. Li Nian has already provided a complete set of action designs that are most needed for animation production. He demonstrated all the details through actual combat with Isayama, restored various physical phenomena including explosions, smashing, and wind flow, and also provided locations, costumes, and various props... This is not just a reference value. They almost only need to make animations according to the video. How could it be not enough?

Although Li Nian was also annoyed by responding to Shangjingcao's various requests, which were not necessary and were more to satisfy her excessive curiosity, she still said to Senior Ren at this time: "Just tell me if you need anything."

Senior Ren stopped his childhood sweetheart from greedily asking for more, and promised Li Nian with a smile: "Don't worry, with these video materials, Misaki will not let you down. We will make an excellent short film that will be recorded in the history of animation. If it is really that high, the interest of related animation companies will definitely be aroused. We don't need to find people, someone will come to us for cooperation. After that, the animation of your work is just a done deal... Now it seems that the value you have shown, Li Nian, will also be an extremely powerful bargaining chip, whether it is the excellence of your work or this kind of, uh, acting ability?"

Sawamura calmly complained: "I told you long ago that it would be a waste to use this abnormal ability to make an animation. It would be more profitable to just make a movie."

"It's a way to make money. When I need money, I'll go to Hollywood." Li Nian responded casually: "But I don't need money now, so forget it."

Sawamura opened his mouth, and finally said only "...As long as the boss is happy."

"I have finished my performance here. I don't have any more good shows to show you. Please help yourself."

"Oh, I can finally take a break." Isayama stretched lazily, feeling tired.

"What are you talking about? Everyone can take a break, but you can't." Li Nian grabbed her shoulders and smiled, "It was just a performance. Next, Isayama-senpai and I will start our competition. I will further hone your swordplay and teach you magic. I won't let you have any free time."

“…I’m tired.”

"You have plenty of strength thanks to the formation. Don't think I don't know that you don't have much energy consumption right now... By the way, you seemed to enjoy beating me just now. I won't suppress my strength next time. Can you try again? Use your spirit sword and call on the shikigami that resides in your spirit sword."

"You are obviously planning revenge!"

"I'm training you with good intentions...Okay, stop complaining and get moving."

Jianshan was almost dragged by Li Nian into the hall. When she arrived, Li Nian threw her away and gave her ten seconds to adjust her breath and state. After counting to ten seconds, Li Nian directly summoned [Bing Tantian] and chopped her up. The power he unleashed was far greater than before. He really used all his strength.
