Soul of Burning Steel

Chapter 17: How can strength be an inconvenience

   Stepping across the gate, riding boots made of Warcraft leather stepped on the wooden floor, and the clear sound of stepping echoed in the enclosed welcome hall.

   Joshua looked at the surrounding decorations, her eyes moved slightly.

The entire hall is tens of meters in diameter and is square. The floor is covered with beige carpets. The four walls are painted with portraits of the family owners of the past. The corners are slightly withered potted plants, and there is a gorgeously decorated weapon rack in the middle of the hall. There are all kinds of weapons on it, everything is so familiar.

The Lord’s Mansion is the place where he was born and grew up. It bears his past. It is like the big hole in the carpet not far away, which was burned out when he was playing with fire when he was a child. For this reason, Lord Earl was severely taught. After a meal, thanks to the old housekeeper's plea, he was not beaten to the point of being unable to take care of himself.

Looking up, looking at it, for Joshua, there is nothing here that is not a memory, but now, all the people who once lived here except himself have disappeared... Father died and the old housekeeper was missing. Originally His maid and deacon were dispersed, and there was no one he knew well in the huge mansion.

   Not only that, but now there are even a group of shameless people entrenched here, trying to occupy it.

   Yingying raised her head and glanced at her master. She could feel Joshua's mood, but as a newly born magic machine, she could not understand such complicated feelings for the time being with a slightly simple mind and logic.

"I'm home."

   did not suppress the voice, nor deliberately loudly, Joshua just greeted the empty hall as usual.

   But just as Qiao Xiuya's voice fell, a little cold light flickered suddenly at the corner of the stairs more than ten meters away!

   "咻—"

   An arrow wrapped in shimmering light, at a speed close to the sound, silently shot towards Joshua’s neck! The moment when both ears hear the whistling of the air being shaken, it is the moment when the arrow hits.

  嗤.

Lifting the **** gently, they firmly clamped the incoming object, turning the palm of the hand, the strength contained in it was all resolved, Joshua held the arrow, turned to look at the end of the corner, disdainfully said : "Elemental Archer...If I were you, I would not use silent arrows."

   "For a man who has survived all kinds of battles and survived a battlefield full of arrows, this arrow has no strength and is not concealed. Apart from a little magical effect, it is simply ridiculous."

   "...you can only talk about it."

The sneak attack failed, and the location was found again. The ranger holding a short crossbow, a short knife in his waist and a long bow on his back simply walked out of the dark. His face was covered by a hood, only a pair of eyes were left. After a somber response, this The ranger took out seven or eight different types of iron crossbow arrows depicting magic runes. He sneered: "I heard the rumors, I thought it was a great guy, I didn't expect it to be like you. Idiot, facing archers who don’t wear armor or even weapons, it seems that the boss is right. Those mercenaries are all rubbish, and they were defeated by someone like you."

As he spoke, the ranger quickly set the arrow on the short crossbow in his hand, and began to press the brackets one after another, almost without any interval, just the time of closing his eyes and blinking, eight magical crossbow arrows with different lights. Just shot from different directions.

   At the same time, Joshua just shook his head, his hand holding the arrow shook sharply, making a click, and the steel twisted in his hand.

   "Weak."

   waved his hand, and the sound of breaking through the air sounded.

The iron ball that was crumpled into a ball turned into a black streamer, and it shot straight ahead. The wind and waves swept all the arrows from the short crossbow. It was in front of the ranger in an instant, and the ranger had just finished the connection. Shot, he looked blank and didn't react at all.

The strength contained in this iron ball is so heavy that if it is hit, even the silver rank's physical quality cannot withstand the blow, it will definitely be crushed to the skull, and the dead can no longer die, but the streamer is about to hit the ranger. At that moment, a figure suddenly flashed behind him.

boom!

   A warrior wearing chain mail was holding a diamond-shaped middle shield and blocked the iron ball at the first shot. The iron ball that was originally forcibly mixed under this strong impact suddenly shattered into countless iron pieces and splashed around.

"…Thanks."

   "Nothing, it should be."

The ranger was in shock, but he quickly reacted. He quickly took off the big bow on his back, and did not dare to despise the enemy in front of him. The physical quality of the opponent was higher than he had predicted. This kind of strength was already It's almost the same as the golden powerhouse, and it's not something a ranger who specializes in shooting can take. He swallowed, and he was nervous: "Be careful, he is very strong, I'm losing sight of it, this is the peak of the dazzling spirit! "

   "Doesn't the information say that there is only intermediate silver?!"

Needless to remind him, this warrior was also secretly frightened. The iron ball before, like a burst bullet from a heavy crossbow, exploded a big hole in his shield made of iron and wood. Now his hands are still a little bit. Tingling.

   A few seconds later, three more soldiers came to the hall, and the chaotic footsteps could be faintly heard in the rear, and the large army was gathering.

   "Huh." Qiao Xiu was expressionless, he turned his head, took off his leather jacket, and threw it on the ground, looking at the five silver-level enemies with indifferent eyes: "Bugs."

   "Arrogant!"

   A new soldier couldn't help but reprimanded: "We are five people, and you don't even have a weapon. Where can the confidence come to fight us?! If you surrender, maybe you can leave the whole body."

   But Joshua ignored him. The warrior just stepped forward, stretched out his right hand, and then clenched into a fist, posing a posture. The whole body was slightly up and down, and every muscle was trembling.

   Subtle brilliance gushes from the depths of the body, and then gathers on the surface of the body, causing the surface of Joshua's skin to slowly glow with a layer of red.

Feeling that a huge threat is being generated, the ranger does not intend to continue such a confrontation. He pulls the full bow and draws the arrow with the rune of the ice demon on it. His eyes are fixed, accompanied by the trembling of the bowstring. A streamer that couldn't be measured with both eyes broke through the sound, and flew towards Joshua, wherever he passed, magic power overflowed and frost spread.

He used this arrow to shoot and kill several double-headed dragons and freeze the elite of the fire element. As one of the strongest digital mercenaries in the North, the ranger has already used the ability of the elemental archer to the extreme, even if it is a goblin. The artillery, in a comprehensive comparison, can't compare with his frosty shot!

   And the other four warriors didn't have any nonsense. Just as the rangers started the battle, they raised their weapons and charged forward at the same time. The armored heavy footsteps trampled on the ground, crushed the wooden planks, and flew up countless debris.

   These five people seem to be in a small team, and they cooperate with each other to advance and retreat without a trace of stagnation.

   But Joshua didn't have a trace of fear.

"When…"

Being trapped in a heavy siege, facing the charge of the four cooperating fighters, Joshua's mouth curled up, and his eyes were steely indifferent. They looked like prey: "Even characters like you dare to charge at me? "

   Boom!

When the foot quaked, like thunder, the powerful explosive force immediately crushed the carpets, boards, and even the rocky soil under it. Qiao Xiuya's figure disappeared from the sight of the five people. The next moment , The Frost Demon Arrow hit his original location, the ice demon rune flashed, and the boiling sawdust, dust and rubble were instantly frozen in place, completely frozen, and a radius of more than ten meters was completely turned into The freezing ice.

At this time, Joshua had come to the side of a warrior wearing a leather armor with a straight sword in his hand. He stuck out his right hand and grabbed a corner of the leather armor in the warrior’s incredible eyes, showing disdain. Smile.

   "You can't kill people without weapons?"

Muscles agitated and five fingers exerted force. He immediately poke five deep holes in the leather armor made of beast leather, and a powerful force pulled the warrior's figure, using his body as a shield for Joshua. Blocked the attack of several other fighters.

   "Hahaha—how can power be so inconvenient!"

Smelling the smell of blood, Joshua laughed out loud. This is the first time he laughed so freely since he crossed the road. There was a faint red flash in his eyes. He said every word: "Look up. , You weak scumbags!"

   With a sudden force, he tore the leather armor worn by the straight sword warrior with one hand, and the flexible leather was as fragile as straw in his hand.

   "Clothes!"

With a trembling of his hand, the leather that had been pulled up suddenly stood up. Under Joshua's wave, the leather armor seemed as powerful as a stick. With a slam, it hit the straight sword warrior who fell on the ground in the head, banging. With a muffled sound, a piece of his skull collapsed, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and he died on the spot.

   "Sandstone!"

Without any pause, with her feet on the ground and her waist moving forward, Joshua slammed the floor with the leather stick in her hand, and suddenly the plank cracked, and countless splashes of sand and gravel flew out like bullets, forcing others. Several fighters stopped the offensive and guarded the vital points. The ranger wanted to retreat temporarily to avoid the offensive, but he never expected that a shadow seemed to be staring at him and hitting him quickly. The jaw and head were rotated under strong force, and the cervical spine was abruptly broken.

   It was half of the broken leather armor, which was comparable to a real heavy punch when Joshua threw it.

   "And-your own attacks!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he stepped forward and rushed into a warrior with a flail in his right hand and a large shield in his left. Facing Joshua’s rapid action, the warrior’s reaction was not slow at all, and he immediately waved his hand. The weapon was smashed downwards, but Joshua had already seen through this. At the moment when the opponent attacked and the shield contracted, his left hand popped out, pressing the inside of the soldier's right elbow, and then violently Vigorously.

This is a push that relies on the whole body twisting to gather strength, and then with the palm of the hand. Although it is not powerful, it is heavier. The flail warrior suddenly felt that the body was not controlled by him, and the center of gravity of the whole person was completely shifted. Fell to the right.

   How could Joshua miss this opportunity? When the opponent's center of gravity was unstable and the empty door opened wide, he tied his palm with his left hand and hit the unprotected throat with his hand, only to hear a crisp sound, which was the sound of the throat bone being crushed.

In six seconds, three of five people were killed. Joshua was still unsatisfied. Facing a pikeman with a spear and the soldier holding a shield before, he saw the timing. Charged again, slammed into the arms of the spearman, and then took advantage of the opponent's breath to lift it up, he pushed his waist with one hand, and pushed his shoulders with one hand, and violently exerted force, the pikeman was immediately thrown towards that man. Warrior with shield.

The warrior with the shield also knew that Joshua wanted to use his teammate’s body to cover his sight as a springboard for offense, so he quickly jumped a step back in an attempt to stretch the distance, but how could he think that he was avoiding After the collision of his teammate's body, an'iron ball' that he knew so well and made him feel infinitely desperate appeared in front of him.

Snapped.

   The sound of flesh and blood collapsed. Accompanied by the sound of crisp bone cracking, the warrior's nasal cavity was completely shattered by the speeding iron ball, and his consciousness dissipated.

   At this time, Joshua also stepped on the chest cavity of the fallen spearman. He vomited blood, his ribs broke, and he died in pain.

   "If I want to, even the ground under my feet is my weapon."

   Standing in the already messy hall, Joshua scanned the five corpses on the ground and smiled disdainfully: "When my muscles and martial arts are displayed?"

Behind him, at the entrance of the hall, with long silver hair fluttering, Hotaru, who was about to show off his skills, stared blankly at the end of the battlefield. The light in the green eyes flickered and her expression was extremely complicated. Muttered in a low voice: "Say okay..."

   Joshua seemed to have noticed this, so she turned her head and smiled a little apologetically: "Oh, Hotaru, this time it doesn't seem to use you, next time!"
