The Regressed Demon Lord is Kind

With such a heavy responsibility, Si Dongkou did not want to waste too much time with the kid in front of him. He first stimulated his own card.

A thick shield of yellow light appeared in front of him. The nearly two meter high-shield protected his whole body. There were many sharp energy thorns on its smooth surface, and on its edges were twelve hand-sized wavy blades.

If Jiang Liang was there, he would have definitely been able to recognize this energy shield. This was one of the standard cards used by the military, called “Assault Shield”. Its greatest advantage was its excellent defensive ability, allowing it to withstand powerful attacks. In wartime, card artisans who used Assault Shield were placed on the frontlines. They experienced the enemy’s fierce firepower, and were responsible for covering and protecting their companions.

There were three levels of Assault Shield, from three stars to five stars. Every level that you increased it by the protection power would increase that many times. Card artisans who manipulated Assault Shield needed a strong body and extraordinary courage, as well as ample close combat skills, especially when using it at higher levels.

Assault Shield was not a popular category for card artisans. Apart from the military and some large groups, smaller groups had great difficulty recruiting such talents. Few people were willing to become Assault Shield card artisans because if you chose this card it would mean that you would live a life of toil and grit. But other card artisans were very willing to cooperate with Assault Shields, especially long-range attack card artisans.

The three-star Assault Shield could only protect, the four-star Assault Shield was even more resistant to attacks, but the five-star Assault Shield was able to achieve a balance between offense and defense.

Si Dongkou’s Assault Shield was naturally a five-star one. Someone who could use a five-star Assault Shield was doubtless a master, even in the military.

Just as he activated his light shield, the little monkey that was twenty meters away suddenly disappeared.

So fast!

Si Dongkou felt a flash of fear, and did not hesitate to quickly protect himself with the light shield! Just as he did so, a leg suddenly appeared out of thin air right in front of his light shield, and a series of afterimages in the air dazzled him. Before he could react, the leg gave his shield a solid kick.

Boom!

There was a loud bang, and the massive force caused him to stagger back a few steps. The five-star Assault Shield had reached an astonishing five meters of thickness! This was the reason that his protective ability was outstanding. But just now he had seen with his own eyes that his light shield had been kicked slightly inward!

What kind of power was this?

Although he was rich in practical combat experience, he had still been shocked by Little Bu Mo’s kick! What he human? Or a Brilliant Ape? The five-star Assault Shield was no crudely made card, but a real product of the military. It was a military five-star card that absolutely could not be bought on the market!

He suddenly caught a glimpse of the little monkey’s trick out of the corner of his eye. There was nothing there!

A cardless sect!

This term appeared in his mind like a flash of light. He never would have thought that he would run into a legendary cardless sect. A cautious expression came over his face. He had never experienced fighting a cardless sect.

Power and speed were what Wei-ah was best at.

As one that Wei-ah had cultivated, Little Bu Mo had a deep understanding of these two points. In the moment that his kick had come into contact with the light shield, he had used the power of the shield and, as smart as a monkey, turned around and appeared behind the big man.

Si Dongkou’s reaction was extremely quick. In his hands the light shield was as thick as a wall but as light as if it was nothing. With a whirling turn the light shield appeared behind him.

Boom!

There was another big hit, just like the one before! Si Dongkou couldn’t imagine that a kid, a kid that didn’t look strong at all, could have such awesome power. In the face of those two blows, Si Dongkou’s scorn immediately disappeared.

However, he was a master card artisan of the military, with great power. With this power he moved like he was ice-skating, suddenly moving forward. At the same time a clanging sound rang out, and the wavy blades burst forth from the edge of the light shield!

He held nothing back with this move. The twelve wavy blades burst out and intertwined like a net!

This was the Assault Shield’s combat mode. It used its defensive power to close the distance with one’s opponent, then used the energy thorns on the surface of the shield or the wavy blades on the edges to attack the enemy. The speed and position of each of the twelve wavy blades were extremely precisely calculated, making them impossible to avoid! A card artisan who could accomplish this trick could not fail to attract attention within the military. Countless enemies had died by this trick of Si Dongkou’s.

Compared to the wavy blades released by the Crescent Moon Long Sword card, the twelve wavy blades of the Assault Shield were much less in number. But these twelve hand-sized blades were not light and sharp like ordinary wavy blades. Each was as heavy as an axe, and very powerful!

This could be seen from the wounds. The wounds left by ordinary wavy blades were like a line of blood. When hit by the wavy blades from the Assault Shield, there would definitely be torn skin and gaping flesh!

He did not turn his head, but Si Dongkou’s timing was still perfect.

The twelve wavy blades completely blocked off Little Mo Bu’s space to dodge. Si Dongkou was quite satisfied with this attack. At his level, it was impossible to create such a thorough stranglehold every time.

Hey, after all the cardless sects were declining, how could they compete with card artisans? Could an empty hand block the wavy blades?

To deal with a little child with something so strong would surely be cruel! As he skated forward, the corners Si Dongkou’s mouth involuntarily curled upwards, and the cruelty in his eyes was revealed. His smile reached his ears, and he looked forward to the sound of bones breaking that would soon ring out behind him.

He was so thin that he estimated one blade could cut through his waist! He thought this not without some satisfaction.

This was the first time Little Bu Mo had encountered this kind of attack. Up till now, he had only practiced with Wei-ah, and had no experience at all fighting against card artisans. The method was completely different from fighting against a cardless sect. As far as he was concerned, it was really too unfamiliar, otherwise he wouldn’t have been put in this desperate situation so quickly!

In the air he could not avoid him. The blades whistled towards him from all directions, sealing off all his avenues of retreat. He seemed to have been forced into a hopeless situation!

The little monkey grinned, and his naive look was really ridiculous. Only his eyes like black jewels showed a calmness that was completely out of place for one so young.

Training with Wei-ah was a devastating sort of life. You were always at a disadvantage, you were always suppressed, and you always needed to attack carefully. The result of this hardship was either that your courage would fail and you would stop, or you would become exceedingly brave! Little Bu Mo was like this. He was already used to being at a disadvantage. His many experiences with being defeated, being hurt and being wounded told him that being at a disadvantage was not something that was worth being afraid of.

He had encountered odds worse than this and even more desperate situations too many times. He had learned how to find opportunities in desperate situations.

He clapped his wide open arms together, and the lightning moved to his chest. He bent his elbows and clenched his fists, making it look like he was praying.

Si Dongkou, who felt he had retreated to a safe distance, had just looked back, and the curvature of his lips was even greater. He admired the scene with interest.

He was praying at a time like this. Had he lost hope?

The silly little monkey was still grinning, like he didn’t know that he was about to die. But a dignified manner appeared in his bright, black eyes.

His body suddenly bent slightly forward.

Si Dongkou’s smile suddenly froze. He seemed to be able to smell the danger in the air.

The little monkey’s black eyes suddenly went wide, and his smile became dazzling, but was not so ridiculous as before.

The Double Fist Attack Airskill!

Little Bu Mo cupped his fists together on his chest and then seemed to disappear into thin air. Woosh! A low whistle suddenly sounded with a chilling endnote. A transparent clenched fist suddenly shot out and flew towards the wavy blades! Then, the highly concentrated mass of air hit the wavy blades!

Bang!

There was a loud bang and cracking sounds rang out from the wavy blades as they turned into a fine yellow mist. The compressed mass of air was also crushed. It was a product of immense pressure which suddenly broke, leading to a brief disturbance of the airflow around Little Bu Mo. When the airflow was affected, the other wavy blades could not avoid being affected as well.

A small gap appeared where the broken wavy blades had been, but for Little Bu Mo it was big enough!

He was already very thin, and with a little bit of twisting he could squeeze through the gap.

Airskill!

Si Dongkou was so shocked he turned pale. Suddenly he thought of something, and his expression became incredulous. “What is your relationship to Qiao Yuan?”

When he had judged that Little Bu Mo was walking the path of the cardless sects, he had not realized that something was wrong. When he used an airskill, he finally realized what the problem was. Up till now, the only one he knew who had the power to use an airskill was Qiao Yuan. He didn’t understand cardless sects, and airskill was definitely one of their high-level skills!

But was the kid in front of him related to the White Commander?

Si Dongkou’s eyes suddenly went wide. An incredible thought occurred to him. Could it be that Qiao Yuan was the White Commander?

Little Bu Mo was completely silent. When training with Wei-ah you could not talk. If you were distracted at all you would immediately lose. Wei-ah had never taught him that he needed to explain anything to his enemies.

The double fist skill was not one that Wei-ah had taught him, but one that he had figured out for himself. Wei-ah had taught him a few airskills, but his body was not strong enough to fully master them. Wei-ah was planning to let him know in advance, and had not imagined that he would figure out such a compromise. He used the power in his own hands to use airskills. Although this method was less dextrous, it had one advantage. It was much more powerful than the air power when he used one hand.

However, since he was punching with both hands it consumed a lot of energy, and so he needed to fight and win quickly.

He landed tiptoe on the floor, and like a spring he suddenly shot out!

The little monkey with the silly grin once again rushed towards Si Dongkou!
