The Card Apprentice - Chapter 563: Sneak Attack
Li Duhong aimed at Benji.
As far as he was concerned, the Moqi Clan had gained the upper hand. Obviously, the other party was not very adapted to their battling methods, but for the Moqi Clan, they were quite familiar with the ways of the cardless sects. Back then, Wei-ah personally guided Li Duhong. Wei-Ah’s training methods had been popularized in the Moqi Clan for many years.
Apart from the fact that they were somewhat surprised by the Airskill, there was nothing too unexpected. Some ferocious beasts in the jungle were not inferior in terms of speed and strength if compared to those cardless sects, but they were still being hunted by them.
Benji’s calmness was so striking in the crowd, making Li Duhong noticed him effortlessly. Out of all in the Moqi Clan, only he had been personally instructed by Wei-ah, so his battling force was the strongest. Over the years, he trained hard and had also reached the level of self-abuse, achieving a level of a thousand miles per day. In his usual hunting activities, he also paid great attention to honing his skills. With the improvement in his level, he had difficulties finding rivals in his clan. Now a master was standing in front of him, causing his fighting spirit to increase dramatically.
His right leg wrapped in blue filaments slightly stamped on the ground and he rushed toward Benji like an arrow off the string. With his body in the air, all the blue filaments fled from him and turned into a big net facing and covering the other party! High-frequency vibration of the blue filaments emitted a buzzing sound filling the surroundings with a sense of danger as though a battle would begin anytime.
Benji’s face turned pale because the situation was getting out of control. These weird guys came out of nowhere were acting like ferocious beasts. To a large extent, these people were only relying on the benefit of equipment, but the spontaneous outpouring of their courage still shocked him. The point was that his own people did not seem to have the right coping strategies for the other party’s attacks. This was the most depressing thing for Benji. In such a terrain, even if they met card artisans, they would not be so confused.
After a moment of contemplation, a warning came to mind. A glance at the corner of the eye made him realize that a large net of blue filaments almost covered the top part of his head.
Benji snorted coldly, and without any movement, he suddenly disappeared in place.
Suddenly losing the traces of the other party did not make Li Duhong felt panic. Without hesitation, those high-frequency oscillations of the blue filaments quickly pulled back, in the blink of an eye, as a thin blue energy cocoon protected his midsection.
Benji, who appeared behind Li Duhong gave him a silent compliment for his quick response. Benji had no better way to deal with this kind of blue filaments, let alone the blue filaments used to shield this person tightly. However, Benji’s ability was beyond the other cardless sects. Soon he had a way to deal with it. Since there was no better way, so he thought of trying the method of breaking through. Standing still on his feet, shaking his arms, swaying his fists like whips, and soon after a tapered air bomb formed from his hand!
Unlike the sharp piercing sound of any ordinary air slashes, the screeches of the tapered air bombs sounded lower and deeper, causing palpitations.
Benji’s hands moved so quickly that no one could catch sight of them. The conical air bomb hit Li Duhong like a storm.
Unlike the air slashes, air bombs sank vigorously, thicker and harder to cut off.
Bang bang bang!
Li Duhong felt like he was hammered by a sledgehammer, and his whole body was pushed backward step by step. Although the blue filaments still cut the powerful air bomb, the impact of the air bomb and the blue filaments made him feel like vomiting blood. He was smashed violently without the strength to fight back, putting him in an awkward condition.
There was no sign of slowness in Benji’s movements, and the rainstorm of air bombs seemed endless. Unlike the calmness on his face, Benji was a little frustrated. Although dozens of air bombs went down and the other side could not lift his head, the other party was not damaged. Although the enemy in front of him was wearing a mask, the actual age should not exceed twenty years old. A teenager who was not more than twenty years old caused him a headache. That was quite embarrassing.
The other side’s physical strength was alright but not exceptional. This level of physical fitness would only be considered moderate in the Mohadi Domain. As for the skills of cardless sects, it was even worse. From the methods of punching, he could observe that it was not an advanced skill, but only some basic movements. However, since his opponent was a teenager under the age of 20, the fact that he could cause him such a headache was making Benji felt troubled and annoyed.
He also knew that the other party was only relying on the benefit of equipment, and the actual ability of both sides was far from the same. But thinking of the fact that he had no better way to deal with it, had resulted in his lack of contentment.
Nevertheless, if one could take off the gloves off the opposite party…
The idea suddenly came to his mind. As soon as it emerged, the idea took over his whole brain irresistibly. He had little interest in the flying blue filaments, yet the gloves that could concentrate all his strength, and diffuse enemy attacks were quite attractive.
If he could take these gloves, then with a huge body like his, the impact of an instant energy explosion would be extremely strong. He believed that no one would be able to withstand his punch! Moreover, his defending power would improve tremendously. A simple blow on his body would not cause damage to him at all.
Li Duhong was lost for words. Some of the blue filaments formed a protective shield on the outer part, while the remaining blue filaments wrapped around all parts of his body. Every time an air bomb hit the protective shield, the impact force instantaneously dispersed into dozens of portions and transmitted to all parts of his body. Thus, he was amazed that he felt numb by such a diffused force. He was shocked that this small force alone made him so miserable, revealing the strength of that person’s air bombs. He finally noticed the ability gap between himself and the middle-aged man in front of him.
The ability of this middle-aged person might not be as good as Wei-ah but was not too far behind Wei-ah.
Thinking of this, Li Duhong immediately understood how to progress from there. Wei-ah was invincible in his mind. Although he had made good progress in recent years, he knew that he was a long way from Wei-ah. He was not foolish enough to give up his life just to challenge a master. Feeling the waves power with care, he suddenly exerted his power under the feet, with the help of the impact of air bombs from the other party and swiftly moved backward!
So he wants to run? Benji could sense the real intention of Li Duhong on the spot! He sneered to himself with a straight face. Although he did not specifically know the true identity of this young man in front of him, Benji still perceived that his ability was stronger than that of the other enemies! Compared with the other enemies, this youngster had more traces of receiving training from the cardless sects, and he had gradually begun to have a better knowledge of his skills. In his mind, he predicted that the identity of this person should be relatively high! Such a person was valuable to him. He made up his mind to move and slanted behind the side of Li Duhong.
Despite the help of the mask, the speed of the other party still frightened Li Duhong. The other party’s speed was faster than before; he did not know how many times, but the danger was beyond the extent that the mask could capture!
D*mn it, Old man! How could he hide his real strength!
Li Duhong cursed to himself, but at the same time, his hands responded swiftly. He flicked his fingers lightly, and the blue filaments connected to his fingertips turned steeply. Instantly, it interlaced into a protective net behind him.
The smile on Benji’s face became widened as his figure vanished again.
Li Duhong’s heart skipped a beat, his fingers flicked quickly, and the protective net was again in front of him. As expected, Benji appeared outside the protective net.
Benji smiled faintly and disappeared again. He constantly shifted his position, disappearing as he became faster and faster!
Li Duhong’s forehead began to ooze cold sweats. His opponent’s speed was getting faster and it took him more and more effort to capture. He felt powerless, but he dared not relax at all. For a middle-aged man with this high level of mastery, any weaknesses could bring death. But he dared not cover himself up like before, because he could fall into the previous situation. He was not confident that his shield could withstand the continuous rainstorm-like air bombs!
In the dazzling blue filaments, Li Duhong could feel the cold sweat behind him, like a stream, slowly flowing down.
The speed of the flying blue filaments was getting slower, and Li Duhong felt increasingly overwhelmed. He was under the illusion that the other person was like a tall mountain that he could hardly climb, all his effort was futile. Li Duhong bit his teeth and pushed himself harder. He was a diligent character by nature. His body was growing weaker, but the ferocious look in his eyes was only becoming stronger, as though a wolf was being forced to a dead end.
The corner of Benji’s mouth twitched into a smirk. He had encountered many stubborn individuals before. What could an individual’s fighting spirit be perceived as when facing an absolute strength? If he owned these gloves, then even if it was Wei-ah, he could definitely win!
Chance!
His eyes burst with brilliance. The other party was weakened, and finally revealed a fatal weakness! Without any hesitation, he drifted lightly in the act of deception. At this moment, he felt the strongest danger from his intuition that he had ever felt!
He was perplexed. What happened?
Before he could respond, he suddenly fell into darkness. Somebody had ambushed him!
Although Benji did not panicked, he could not take the other party’s life at this time, so he pulled himself out and excused himself quickly! He was trapped in absolute darkness with no light and sound as if he was suddenly being placed in a vacuum.
Hng! Illusion card!
Benji immediately predicted where he had been attacked, and at this point, he revealed his real strength as a top master. There was no sign of anxiety on his face, and he suddenly fixed his body position. With his hands slightly stretched out in the air, he closed his eyes and tried to feel any movement around him. Although the voice and sight were concealed, the sensibility of a master from the cardless sects like him was exceedingly surprising.
Benji who closed his eyes, suddenly flickered gently to the right, nearly brushing his body with a dangerous blue filament.
Li Duhong showed a frightening look on his face. He finally realized that the middle-aged man had such an incredibly high strength! Yet just when he was about to leave, he stopped all of a sudden. A hand that did not look special at all was gently holding the throat of this middle-aged man!
