Chapter 394: Yellow Sand and Black Shadow

Chapter 394: Yellow Sand and Black Shadow

Han Dong knew very well that the training ground built at the depths of the Large Cemetery should not be shaken. Otherwise, it could trigger a massive collapse.

Of course… it is not that simple to destroy the Large Cemetery.

The sandification Han Dong used only touched one meter deep of the surface of the training ground.

Within three seconds.

The sandification had spread throughout the training field.

When the yellow dust rose into the sky, some of the sand attached to a real dark shadow, revealing Jane herself.

In an instant.

Chen Li, like a red-clothed female ghost, could multiply her speed by manipulating Yin Qi in her unique way, reaching Jane almost instantly when she appeared.

Chen Li had never learned any swordsmanship, her skills with a kitchen knife were honed through fighting people and killing monsters.

Fighting purely on instinct without systematic learning is detrimental.

That was also Han Dong’s main idea of targeting the ‘Large Cemetery’ before entering the Fate Space… hoping Chen Li could have a chance to learn.

Just as the kitchen knife was about to fall on Jane.

Whoosh…

Two short swords with green fish and black fish patterns were drawn out.

“Chen Li!”

Han Dong wanted to stop it, or control the yellow dust to stop it, but it was a bit too late.

Clang!

The green fish short sword easily parried the kitchen knife at a perfect angle to nullify the force, even dislocating Chen Li’s wrist. If it wasn’t for the black hair helping her hold it, the kitchen knife would have flown out of her hand.

At the same time, without giving Chen Li any chance to retreat or make any other moves.

The other black fish short sword directly aimed at the shoulder’s joint…whoosh!

The red-sleeved arm was cut off and fell to the ground.

‘Pisces. Assassin’s short sword’ unique attribute.

Coming from ‘Fish,’ a globally catastrophic-grade mutated movie, with a difficulty as high as four and a half stars…. It was the last movie Jane experienced before breaking the breed.

Heading against the fish tide into the sea, finding the source of the fish mutation, and unlocking two high difficult hidden plots.

Upon perfect completion of the Fate event while meeting the prerequisites of two hidden plots, an extra reward was obtained:[Gift of the Deep Sea].

A purple double sword obtained from a treasure chest of the fish race.

The Blood Knight Lucius didn’t hesitate to allocate this equipment, which can still be used during the Knight Stage, to the most suitable Jane.

The green fish sword could provide additional parrying ability, repel opponents, and also have considerable offensive power.

The black fish sword could break armor, summon death fish swarms, and provide explosive damage.

Just one confrontation, and Chen Li, who clearly lacked human combat experience, was defeated.

At the cost of one arm.

Moreover, there was a mutated fish biting the flesh at the area of the severed arm, the situation was not good.

Han Dong immediately put Chen Li back into the portable prison for treatment.

“Breaking the breed will bring about a qualitative improvement for an individual… let alone a genius like Jane, the fifth knight to be chosen.

I might really be maimed by Jane using this opportunity.”

Han Dong stared at the dark shadow covered in yellow dust, with a look of helplessness.

Jane’s voice suddenly came from all directions: “Yellow sand… I remember you didn’t have this ability before.”

“There’s an Eastern saying, ‘look at a man with new eyes after three days’ … Jane, you didn’t have such terrifying power before, did you?”

Jane didn’t let the topic be diverted and continued to talk about the ‘yellow sand’.

“So, the priest’s arm we sold to you was claimed by some unknown method… no wonder you were willing to spend so much money to buy it. So, that’s why.

Are you currently studying in the [Library]? Lunze said he seemed to have seen you in the library, but he is not sure.”

“Yes.”

“Interesting… Since your friend has been defeated, it is your turn! I have told you in advance that I have just advanced, my control of the power may not be very good.”

“Haha…” Han Dong gave an embarrassed laugh.

Although he can detect Jane’s movements using the yellow sand.

But when Jane moved at her fastest speed, observing her was still a bit difficult.

In the blink of an eye, the twin swords struck at Han Dong from a rather tricky angle.

Ding!

The sword blade collided with the incredibly tough sand shell.

The shell marked with the scarab beetle covered Han Dong, blocking this attack…but the shell also cracked in response.

A limitation.

During his sparring session with Jane, if any power related to outside the city was involved, it couldn’t be used. Han Dong had no chance of winning, it was ludicrous…he simply needed to avoid injury as much as possible while also earning Jane’s approval.

Only then could he convince Jane to teach Chen Li some technical things.

……

“This kind of all-encompassing black magic is quite draining, isn’t it? How long can you hold on really?”

Within the shell, Han Dong continuously repaired the sand shell, while Jane, cooperating with the shadow, relentlessly attacked the cracks of the shell…

The speed of the damage was significantly faster than the healing.

Breaking through the defense was just a matter of time.

Crack!

The beetle mark was completely shattered.

The deadly black fish short sword had directly pierced into the inner layer.

Of course, Jane had slightly shifted the direction of the thrust to avoid Han Dong’s head.

As long as Han Dong’s head wasn’t pierced, any physical injuries would not result in death as long as timely treatment was provided.

Whoosh…

Blood splattered.

The sword blade clearly penetrated the body and the destructive effect of the black fish had unfolded… This duel should have ended here.

Sand, sand, sand…the sand barricade completely collapsed, but the situation was somewhat different.

The right palm of Han Dong had been pierced by the black fish short sword.

Or it could be said that Han Dong had done this intentionally.

Han Dong had been prepared for the defense to be broken through.

The moment the sand barricade was damaged, he decisively stretched out his right arm to confront the black fish sword… A strong surge of power was driven into his entire right arm as his palm was pierced.

However, this destructive energy was forcefully resisted by the G virus in his right arm, preventing an explosion.

Just like that.

At the cost of his palm being pierced, Han Dong caught hold of Jane’s delicate palm against the short sword.

This unexpected touch left Jane frozen momentarily.

As a result, her movements lagged, and she lost her best opportunity for a follow-up attack.

……

When the other azure fish short sword was raised again, pointing at Han Dong’s body.

Sand, sand, sand!

Han Dong, using his “sand magic,” immediately constructed a one-meter-long sand cone in his left palm, and jabbed it towards Jane.

The short sword and sand cone hovered before them.

The azure fish short sword could slit Han Dong’s throat.

If the sand cone pierced Jane’s skin, it would also trigger the “sandification.”

“Jane… This is just a practice match. Let’s call it quits, shall we?”

“You!!”

Jane had absolute confidence in her own capabilities… this stalemate was not the outcome she wanted.

Her resentment towards Han Dong had even increased.

Confident in her control of the shadow.

Jane even attempted to enter a semi-shadow state, ignoring the sand cone and causing harm to Han Dong.

Han Dong could only smile awkwardly. If Jane really wanted to continue, he had already prepared himself for a hospital stay…

Slap!

In the dark, a withered arm wrapped in a few bandages stretched out abruptly, grabbing Jane’s arm, stopping her movements.

“Jane, I’m a bit disappointed with your performance today.”

“Master!!”
