Burst fire!
Burst fire! Burst fire! Burst fire!
After the four Jun Apes were attracted by a burst of loud roars, they discovered that there were actually three humans here, so they immediately leaped between the trees and quickly approached.
They knew that as Jun Apes, they had no ranged attack methods. When encountering the human species, they had to quickly approach or quickly escape, otherwise they would be attacked by human ranged weapons.
As a race with naturally strong muscles, their limbs swung very fast.
Coincidentally, their limbs were very long, and with the amplification of their racial talent "Size," their movement speed in the forest could be called "lightning speed!"
Qi Jing also knew this. In just a few seconds, the four Jun Apes would come to him from the branches hundreds of meters away.
But this did not prevent him from raising his umbrella sword and firing a few "Light Beams."
Burst fire! Burst fire!
He hadn't used the burst fire of the Sky Piercer Sword many times, and after it was synthesized into the umbrella sword, he was even less accurate.
Out of a dozen consecutive burst fires, he only hit two shots.
One shot hit the chest of the Jun Ape in the front, and one shot hit the shoulder of the Jun Ape in the back.
But it didn't seem to have any impact on these two Jun Apes. Their speed didn't slow down at all.
Perhaps it was because the light beams were too small and their bodies were too large. Penetrating a hole was like piercing an ear, and they felt nothing.
Xiao Fifteen was now carrying Tan Zuoyin into the sky, leaving Qi Jing with space to fight alone.
Before flying away, he didn't forget to remind him:
"Their talent 'Size' can also reduce pain."
These Jun Apes were also flesh and blood, and it would still hurt to have a hole in their bodies, but their talent was really perverted.
In addition to size, they could also adjust speed, perception, and pain. One talent could do so many things, it was too practical.
No wonder Hong Xiaole would choose this race's talent as his fourth skill.
"Big!"
Isn't it just getting bigger? Who can't do that?
Qi Jing directly extended the umbrella sword to its longest state, although it was only seven meters, it was more than enough to cut these ten-meter Jun Apes.
The first Jun Ape jumped onto the tree in front of him, and the subsequent Jun Apes followed suit.
Just when Qi Jing thought they would rush towards him and hammer him to death with their fists, they unexpectedly threw stones and mud hidden in their lower two hands, unexpectedly blocking Qi Jing's vision.
Then the first Jun Ape directly enlarged and rushed down! Not giving him any chance to react.
"Wa Lou, Ba Qi Liu!" (Jun Ape language: Human, prepare to die!)
If it were someone else here, they might really fall for its trick, but Qi Jing was here. He never used his eyes in battle!
Burst Step!
(A move that combines Violent Foot and Snow Treading Without a Trace, Crossing the River with a Reed, and other lightness skills)
Just as the Jun Ape's fist, enlarged to five meters, was about to touch Qi Jing, he instantly dodged and swung his sword backward at the same time.
The Jun Ape was now in an inverted posture in the air, with no place to borrow strength. When its extremely developed dynamic vision saw that this sword was about to cut off its fist, it immediately activated its talent skill, shrinking its fist to avoid this attack.
But Qi Jing not only used the strength of his upper body, but also used the sword control technique he had just practiced for a while, making the speed of this swing faster out of thin air. It hit it when its fist had only shrunk by less than a centimeter.
Like a knife slicing through half a block of tofu, half of its fist was cut off diagonally, and three of its six fingers were directly missing.
But this wasn't over yet. Qi Jing immediately stopped and swung his sword again.
He wanted to seize the Jun Ape's after-action and cut it again.
This time, he activated the umbrella sword's skills, Invisibility and Silence, making it disappear in the Jun Ape's vision, unable to judge the length of the sword, thereby misjudging whether it could be attacked.
Facts have proved that this method is very effective.
Jun Ape No. 1 had just recovered from the two things of Qi Jing escaping his fist and his fist being cut in half, and found that the weapon in the human's hand had disappeared out of thin air!
But why was he still maintaining the posture of holding the sword just now?!
Jun Ape No. 1's intuition told it that the sword was still there and it had to dodge!
But it was still in the air, and its fist closest to the ground was still dozens of centimeters away. How could it dodge?
Got it! Enlarge!
The Jun Ape disregarded its injuries and directly enlarged the injured fist, supporting the ground to give itself a point of leverage, allowing its body to retreat.
It had remembered the position where the human was standing and the length of the sword. As long as it retreated slightly, it could survive!
What's the use of the weapon being sharp? Anyway, it still had three arms, which was still more than this human. A win!
Since the attack speed of Qi Jing's sword was a little slower than the backhand sword just now, the Jun Ape's idea was realized. It successfully had an arm chopped off and then retreated violently.
But it was still divided into two.
It never thought that remembering Qi Jing's sword length was useless, because the umbrella sword also had a move:
Essence Qi Slash!
This sword qi slash, emitted by the umbrella sword, not only benefited from its "Invisibility" and "Silence" skills, but also had twice the power of the umbrella sword's slash, directly dividing Jun Ape No. 1's body diagonally into two halves.
Why diagonally? Because the height difference between Qi Jing and the Jun Ape was too large. If it was horizontal, it could only chop off one of its hands, or even less than one hand, so it had to slash diagonally.
In fact, Qi Jing didn't want to use the Essence Qi Slash. He also wanted these four Jun Apes to be his sparring partners, allowing him to grow in battle.
After all, they were not experience babies and could not upgrade his combat experience just by killing them. He could only hone his swordsmanship through battle.
But he found that the Jun Ape's combat power was indeed a bit strong. Its speed was only half slower than his, and its strength seemed to exceed his.
If he was accidentally hit by a punch, he would really have a comminuted fracture.
More importantly, there were four of them.
Therefore, he couldn't hold back.
At least play with the last one when he had killed three of them. Before that, he must not be careless or reckless.
Essence Qi Slash!
After Qi Jing swung this sword, he used inertia to continue swinging it upwards behind him.
His Observation Haki had already sensed that Jun Ape No. 3 was on the tree behind him, jumping towards him, preparing to attack him with Jun Ape No. 1.
Like Jun Ape No. 1, Jun Ape No. 3 was also in the air when Qi Jing swung this sword, unable to borrow strength.
This Essence Qi Slash directly split it into two halves almost vertically.
But it just avoided its head, allowing it to still control half of its body.
But Qi Jing couldn't care about this, because Jun Ape No. 2's big fist was about to smash towards him, and he had to flash to the side.
Burst Step!
