Chapter 370 Fight
He clearly wasn't planning to use ordinary barrier magic.
"Then bring it over, why are you standing so far away?"
The man on the right looked at him with a half-smile, and Brad, his mind working, said, "You still haven't answered my question? Where are you from?"
The two Konoha Jonin were not rookies fresh to the battlefield; every Konoha Jonin was a character who had emerged from a sea of blood. They instantly saw through Brad's intention.
Delaying for time?
The two exchanged glances, remaining silent.
They even let him be, wanting to see what trick he was up to.
Just then, a sacred light suddenly flared, like a large car headlight suddenly turning on in the dark night.
Even in broad daylight, the effect was still so dazzling.
The two Konoha Jonin's eyes flickered. The effect came from beside them. Layers of translucent light shields enveloped the girl's body, like an inverted bowl.
Their gazes instantly locked onto the sorceress hiding in the tree behind, holding a staff.
The magic the mage was casting turned out to be a barrier-like spell.
This thought simultaneously arose in both their minds.
Then their eyes flickered slightly. The guy holding the long spear had already charged forward, the protective barrier seemingly his battle horn.
The two were unhurried, even having time to exchange glances, as if saying, "Your turn?"
Brad noticed their small movements and couldn't help but feel annoyed, laughing in anger. It was the first time he had been so underestimated, which was truly unpleasant.
As this thought flashed through his mind, the two were already close at hand. He brandished the long spear in his hand, executing a "Sweeping Star Moon" move, attempting to encompass both of them and sweep them away.
In a flash of lightning, the bandit on the left pulled out a short Brad and actually parried his sweeping long spear!
One must know that his sweep had utilized the combat skill "Sweeping Star Moon"!
Little did he know, Baiyun Ye Shan, who had blocked the long spear, was also very surprised. The force was truly significant; it actually made him retreat half a step.
It was enough to make him take it a little more seriously.
Baiyun Ye Shan drew the katana from his waist with his other hand and slid it down the spear shaft.
He was a Jonin from Konoha Village, skilled in using Vacuum Swordsmanship and Konoha Body Flicker.
Dealing with this guy was more than enough. In fact, he still felt no pressure at all, only a slight surprise at the force.
Brad reacted very quickly. Almost the instant the long sword slid down the side of the spear, he had already pulled back the spear to block. After a clang, Brad directly retreated a few steps.
"In terms of physical combat, he already has the strength of an Elite Chunin. It seems he's a silver-ranked adventurer."
Baiyun Ye Shan thought to himself.
"Again!"
Brad was fearless, thrusting the long spear forward. The spearhead glowed, leaving afterimages. The spear moved like a dragon, thrusting out a dozen times in an instant.
Combat skill: "Spear Like a Dragon"!
A combat skill that allows for rapid thrusts a dozen times in an instant! When practiced to a high level of proficiency, it can even thrust out 20 times in an instant.
However, he hadn't fully mastered it yet; currently, thrusting out a dozen times was already his limit.
But this move was usually very effective. Even a thick-skinned, heavily armored Giant Armored Demon would have its hard armor pierced by his "Spear Like a Dragon" move.
But in the next moment, the enemy suddenly vanished from the spot! The long spear thrust into empty air!
"What!"
Shock flashed in Brad's eyes. Was this speed even human?
He couldn't even catch the opponent with his naked eye; they had simply vanished into thin air right before his eyes.
A whistling sound came from behind him. Brad's expression changed slightly, but he was currently in the rigid period right after using "Spear Like a Dragon." His old strength was spent, and new strength had not yet emerged. He simply had no time to defend from behind, mainly because he hadn't expected the enemy to be able to use such a method.
But he did not panic. He was not fighting alone; he had a companion.
This was the trust that had grown from partnering for a long time.
He believed the sorceress wouldn't stand idly by.
Sure enough, the next instant, a crisp sound came from his back, like the sound of glass breaking.
Brad didn't even need to turn his head to know that the sorceress had set up a protective barrier magic for him, blocking the enemy's attack at the critical moment.
Thanks to the sorceress's delay, he also managed to react in time.
Twisting his waist and exerting force with his arm, the long spear in his hand made a whistling sound as it swung violently backward.
But he missed again. The enemy used the same trick, disappearing into thin air from before his eyes once more!
No, it wasn't disappearing into thin air; it was that the enemy's speed was too fast! He couldn't see clearly, so he thought they vanished into thin air!
What followed was like being toyed with. He couldn't even touch the opponent's clothes, but the opponent could attack him! They appeared like a ghost from all directions, making it impossible to defend, let alone counterattack.
"I'm done playing with you. Your strength is only slightly stronger than an Elite Chunin."
Baiyun Ye Shan no longer held back, making Brad suffer immensely. Even with the sorceress's assistance, he couldn't withstand Baiyun Ye Shan's relentless assault.
A muffled grunt came, and Brad watched with bloodshot eyes as the sorceress was knocked unconscious by the other bandit. However, he couldn't reach her side at all at that moment and could only shout, "Don't hurt her! Come at me if you want something!"
"Oh, you still have time to worry about others? You can't even protect yourself!"
Baiyun Ye Shan shook his head speechlessly. Seizing the moment Brad was distracted, he took down Brad in a few rounds.
Baiyun Ye Shan ignored Brad, who he had knocked unconscious on the ground. He picked up the two boxes on the ground, looked at them, and his face darkened.
One of the two boxes actually contained stones. No wonder the weight didn't feel right.
"Let's go. Take these two guys and that woman back."
Baiyun Ye Shan said to the other Konoha Jonin.
...
It was dark, and the knight party was still waiting at the dirt mound for Brad and his companion to return. But according to the original plan, the transaction should have been completed during the day, and Lisa could have been brought back. However, by nightfall, no one had returned.
By this time, the knight's heart already had a bad premonition. After all, they had personally witnessed the strength of those bandits; fighting them was like playing a game.
Although Brad was Al Pacino's strongest adventurer, whether he could defeat those bandits was still a question mark.
After all, Brad had not fought them, but those bandits had.
The knight captain already had a bad premonition, but he still planned to wait until noon tomorrow. If there was still no news, it would mean that Brad and his companion had failed.
A failed transaction might mean the bandits would kill the hostage. They probably could go back, pack up, and prepare to leave.
Time passed minute by minute, but for the knight captain, it felt like years.
Every sound that emerged from the forest made him mistakenly think Brad had returned, but upon inspection, it was either mice or the wind blowing.
It made him somewhat jumpy and paranoid.
The knight captain looked up at the sunrise, finally having endured the night.
