"Blind Swordsman, Easy?"

Although the information in his hand that cost a silver coin was only brief lines of text, it was enough to let Artoria exhale in surprise.

"Is he really a blind man? It's like..."

As he said that, Artoria turned her head to Yue Yulou on the side, and at this time there was a faint smile on the other person's face.

"Ah, I didn't expect to meet my fellow disciples."

The title of [Blind Swordsman] can naturally remind people of the nickname of [Blind Swordsman] before the Battle of Destruction. Anyone with discerning eyes can guess the connection between the two without thinking.

"Sister...Sus, is she a member of the Blind Brotherhood, just like you?"

"Ah, if it's not written incorrectly, it should be."

"But shouldn't all the Blind Eye Brothers be monks? He is obviously a swordsman."

"It seems that no one stipulates that monks must be legal professions? In fact, the internal mainstream of the Blind Brotherhood is indeed mainly legal professions, but there is also a lineage that specializes in martial arts learning, but there are only a few, and they have been living in seclusion in places that are difficult to get involved for many years."

Speaking of later, Yue Yulou also looked at his fellow student whom he had never met. He was very interested in why the other party was not suitable for advanced game cabins and how to practice.

"I have seen his battles several times. His sword skills are so superb that they are so superb. They can be said to be as fast as the wind, as fierce as fire, as water as water, and as guarding as mountains. At first I thought that all he was covered was a magic prop, but I didn't expect... Huh?"

Suddenly, Artoria cried in confusion, as if she had thought of something very puzzled.

"Yes? Even if he is really blind, why are he blinding his eyes?"

"Maybe his eye mask is a magic prop, just like I used before."

"Well...Sus, do you think someone wouldn't choose the advanced game pod just to be able to join the Blind Brotherhood?"

"No, there will never be such a person. Even now I can't stand the feeling of darkness and coldness. As long as I have the chance, even if I pay an unprecedented price, those who have lost their light will fight for a ray of light in front of me... Normal people cannot understand that the desire that seems to be a dying person."

"Sorry, I..."

As if he noticed his own mistake, Artoria's face turned slightly red.

"It's okay, at least I don't care anymore."

Time always passes quietly inadvertently. In just ten minutes of preparation time, in the blink of an eye, when the referee on the court raised his right arm high, everyone present burst into warm calls.

"The competition is about to begin! Please let Thor, Yi, and the two players come on the court!"

In a moment, amid the shocking shouts, a black iron figure first stepped into the arena.

"Long live Thunder!"

"Long live the goddess of liberty!"

"Trump! The last place in the Demon God List!"

Under the support of his short golden hair, his strong but upright face was full of aura of looking down on the world. Although he was wearing Gothic-style fish scale armor, layers of curling cloud patterns appeared faintly on the fine scales. The marks of thunder and lightning were deeply imprinted on his golden belt. The storm's talisman made his iron boots constantly emit a fog. The golden hammer in his hand that kept leaping with electric arcs, and the red cloak behind him seemed to be a thunder god who came down to earth.

"Well, it's indeed a thundercloud walker, and he has been liberated to the state of [turbid clouds], which is good."

He nodded with praise, and Yue Yulou's words naturally attracted the attention of the curious baby beside him.

"What kind of cloud?"

"Well, there are three forms of thundercloud walkers, namely clear breeze, turbid clouds, and qi. Among them, clear breeze is the most basic state. At that time, the thundercloud walkers were golden in appearance and could only control the power of lightning and wind. In the turbid cloud state, they could not only control lightning and wind at will, but also intervene and even control the entire atmospheric environment. The destructive power was even comparable to [Earth Fire Salamander]."

"What about the state of [qi]?"

"I don't know this, it seems... no race can reach this point."

Suddenly, the originally boiling field suddenly became quiet, which made the two of them think it was exposed for a while. They only breathed a sigh of relief after discovering the green figure slowly paced out on the field...

"What... why do everyone react like this?"

Soon, Artoria discovered that the expression on everyone's face was very strange, with doubts and curiosity, but more of it was... contempt, or ridicule.

"Haha~~~ Is there anything that is worth wondering? No one will feel that they should be worse than a disabled person. If there is really... then they are destined to be disgusting, and even hatred."

After sneering at everyone, after resisting the urge to kill everyone, Yue Yulou turned his curious eyes to the figure who walked slowly and seemed to be like a normal person...

"Yes, it turns out that I... is the same."

In an instant, an indescribable sense of familiarity surged into my heart. Yue Yulou could see that although the other party was walking very smoothly, it was still difficult to hide some habits that only blind people would understand.

"Yi, let me see what level you have reached. Don't let me down..."

During the cold game, the two opponents walked to the referee together, but they could not look at each other because one of them had his eyes hidden under a gray strip of cloth.

"Now I'll talk about the rules..."

"Yi, can I ask you a question?"

The sad referee was ignored again, but fortunately he didn't care about these things and just mechanized the rules. When he heard Thor's words, Yi didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly.

"Do you...know the Day Demon? It's that Safi."

"I've heard of some of his deeds, but I don't know him."

"You should be in the same Blind Brotherhood as him, right?"

"The Brotherhood is not a very tight organization, and... I entered the game much later than him, but I could occasionally hear something about him from my master."

"So, then how will your brothers view him?"

Hearing this sentence, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Yi's mouth.

"He is a lucky guy who can regain his light, that's all."

"Oh? Haven't you ever understood his horrible things? Then what do you think of him?"

"Shocking? Nothing in this world is more terrifying than "forever imprisoned in darkness forever," at least that's what I think."

"So you swing your sword for this?"

"Of course."

Just at this moment, the referee's nagging ended, and the two turned around and walked backwards.

"Waving the sword for the sake of light...it seems like a very tricky person."

After a short while on the journey of fifty meters, Thor turned around and faced Yi, who had already drawn his sword and put on his posture, he couldn't help but recall the conversation just now. It was not until this time that he suddenly realized that some terrible surge hidden under Yi's seemingly calm appearance...

"open……"

boom!

Whoosh!

At that moment, the referee's voice had not yet floated out of his throat, and the two figures had already moved!

Both of them were so fast that many people didn't react. They could no longer describe them with words like "Fengchi" and "Lightning", but the momentum between the two sides was very different...

On one side, like thunder on the ground, every step he took was like lightning that tear apart the sky, and waves of muffled sounds rolled across the grassland with the faintly extended black line.

On the other side, it was like a breeze blowing on the willows. Although I could no longer see the true green appearance, even if I was so galloping, there was no sound, even if there was no footsteps. The only thing that could judge the speed was the afterimages that kept appearing and disappearing...

"……beginning!"

It was no different in milliseconds, and the two met at the same time at the original conversation!

Bang ~!

In an instant, the long sword that cut through the void collided with the golden hammer wrapped in the thunder. The fierce sparks could even see the people on the stage clearly!

"snort!"

There was even no time to amaze the other party's speed, and the two began a dazzling intimate confrontation.

The long sword was like a rainbow, and the heavy hammer brought the wind. In just a few breaths, the two of them went back and forth for more than ten rounds. Both of them tried to overwhelm each other with their speed, but the results were completely different...

Bang~bang~bang~bang~

Thor's offensive was very fast and very fierce, as fast as the wind and as thunder, but his attack method was more direct and monotonous.

His opponent, Yi, who held the blade in both hands and held the hilt in the empty sword, made every move astonishingly fast and stopped astonishingly fast. There was no unnecessary movement, no trace of dragging, pricking, picking, cutting, chopping, and slitting. It was also such a simple movement, but with Yi's combination and superb step skills, it became the most deadly martial arts.

Compared with Thor's hard-hitting, Yi's sword always follows Thor's offensive, first using soft strength to resolve the opponent's impulse, and then returns the sword to the opponent with the force that had not yet been dissipated. So Thor is faster, he is faster, Thor is fierce, and he is even more fierce. Moreover, Yi's sword always "sticks" Thor's hammer, and the two weapons will never be separated for more than three seconds. The consequence is that Thor, whose weapons are much shorter than the opponent, often reveals flaws due to the attack, causing the entire rhythm to be disrupted by the opponent.

Two minutes passed, and the two entangled figures gradually became clearer. Thor's offensive was increasingly suppressed, while Yi used his superb sword skills to gradually expand his advantage.

Bang!

Soon, the accumulated disadvantage finally broke out. When Thor hit the crotch of Yi's slanted sword, the opponent hit his shoulder suddenly and tried to knock him away. However, Yi just turned his body and slightly arched his right knee. Thor, who had lost the center of gravity, almost staggered and fell to the ground...

"Oops!"

When he realized that he was a little reckless, Yi's sword had already stabbed behind him like a poisonous snake. Fortunately, his speed was really fast enough. In just one tenth of a second, he turned over and then swung the sledgehammer, which could block the opponent's sword.

"Thirteen Swords of Heart and Eyes·Phantom."

Suddenly, the sword that was passing by like a stream of light shook slightly, and Thor felt something had changed. He could not continue to think too much. The opponent's sword was already in front of him, so he had to swing the hammer in his hand.

Huh~~~!

“Um!?”

The hammer fell to nothing, and the sword seemed to have disappeared, but when Thor felt a chill coming from his neck, he finally realized that he was on the verge of failure!
