No matter what the motives of this group of people were, he couldn’t put down his blade to be captured. Since he could not resolve this peacefully, Zhou Jing did not hesitate to take action.
These lord’s guards were all Mutant Blood Warriors who had undergone their First Enhancement like him. They had basic strengthened physical fitness and had practiced combat skills for many years. Therefore, they could not be killed instantly like ordinary people.
Maggi became the captain of the lord’s guard, so he at least had some ability. Although he was in a sorry state when he faced the attack, he at least blocked the attack. Zhou Jing realized he could not kill the other party immediately, so he turned around to engage the other six people.
Although he could technically fight against all of them individually within a group fight, that was under the premise that the others could not severely injure him immediately.
He was fading a group of enemies with sharp weapons. If he was not careful, he would have more than ten bloody holes on his body in the blink of an eye.
The basic attributes of Jason Wood, an Astral Apostle, were already higher than ordinary people. After the enhancement of the Mutant Blood, his strength was close to those who had undergone their Second Enhancement. If it was a one-on-one battle against a First Enhancement Mutant Blood Warrior, he would be able to slash him until he could not fight back.
If it was one against two, the chances of winning were high.
One against three was difficult, but he could still try.
However, one against seven… This was beyond his limit. Although the effect of his First Enhancement was good, his physical fitness was not so overwhelming.
However, it was not easy to calculate scenarios for a battle. Real-time reactions and changes were more important. Even if one had a strong physique, one had to know how to unleash it to have considerable combat strength.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
A cold light flashed in the field as weapons collided frequently.
The seven lord’s guards attacked together with their sabers, axes, and spears—constantly filling in the gaps between the others’ attacks. At every moment, they attacked Zhou Jing from multiple directions.
Zhou Jing’s dual sabers spun like the wind, and the saber light was like a shield, blocking the continuous attacks of the seven weapons.
He did not have any martial arts techniques but relied on his enhanced speed and reaction speed, as well as his accurate observation of the enemy’s movements, to fight proficiently with his sabers.
Under the siege of the seven people, Zhou Jing was extremely valiant. He rolled around in the crowd, and his saber light flickered without any signs of letting up.
Maggi had just been attacked and was kicked in the chest. At this moment, blood was at the corner of his mouth as he rejoined the siege.
He slashed and stabbed fiercely, but he was constantly intercepted by Zhou Jing’s quick saber midway. His weapons were easily blocked to the side and could not hit him. From time to time, he was almost hit by Zhou Jing’s counterattack, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
His attacks never worked. Maggi was shocked and angry.
Seven against one should have been easy. They would still stand a chance even against a Second Enhancement Mutant Blood Warrior. However, Zhou Jing’s combat strength did not make sense.
Everyone is at the First Enhancement, so why were you the only one who’s so showy?!
After exchanging blows for a while, the seven lord’s guards had already realized that Zhou Jing was not easy to deal with. Not only was his strength higher than theirs, but he was also extremely agile.
That was not all. The most important thing was that their combat strength was astonishing when they really fought. His two blades would always block the attacks from unexpected angles. Even when surrounded by seven people, he still had the time to counterattack.
He was a little too good at fighting!
“Surround him and trap him!”
Everyone immediately stopped fighting and surrounded Zhou Jing with their weapons. They wanted to use their bodies to trap Zhou Jing so he had no room to dodge or block.
The advantage now was that they had more people. As long as they worked together to suppress Zhou Jing and lock his hands and feet, Zhou Jing would lose his space and be unable to continue fighting.
Zhou Jing could tell what the seven of them were planning. He crossed his blades and slashed out a few times in different directions.
Every time, at least three people would work together to slash at him, causing sparks to fly.
As he was surrounded, there was less and less room for him to turn around. Wounds gradually appeared on his body, and his flesh was cut by the cold steel.
“Tsk.”
Zhou Jing’s eyes darted around as he observed.
Dealing with seven people at the same time consumed more energy and stamina. Although he could hold on for a while, he could not seize the opportunity to severely injure any enemy.
As long as there were any signs of pursuit, the other enemies would immediately join forces to restrain him and save their companions.
As the weapons came and went, danger flashed past his eyes many times, igniting his fighting spirit even more.
If I don’t want to pay the price, I can’t cause the other party to lose members…
Zhou Jing took a deep breath and suddenly held it.
An electric current flowed through his body in an instant, and he immediately entered the “Thunder Strike” state.
Zhou Jing stepped on the ground with both feet and suddenly sped up. He suddenly jumped towards Maggi like a bolt of lightning.
Whoosh!
Maggi’s vision blurred, and he realized that Zhou Jing was in front of him.
He hurriedly raised his sword, and the two guards beside him also attacked Zhou Jing simultaneously.
Zhou Jing’s gaze did not waver.
The long sword slashed down. On both sides were short spears and sabers, and there were still others chasing behind.
The explosive power of the Thunder Strike state caused his muscles to instantly pump out astonishing strength.
Zhou Jing turned his body slightly to avoid the attacks from both sides.
Then, he crossed his two blades and slashed out.
Clang!
The powerful explosive force of the two blades directly broke through Maggi’s stance and knocked him away.
Maggi hurriedly leaned back and almost bent his back to prevent himself from being beheaded. However, the tip of the blade still slashed across his face, and blood instantly filled his vision.
“Ah!”
Maggi screamed and retreated as if he had touched fire.
A deep wound appeared on the corner of his mouth from his forehead to the other side. The bridge of his nose had been cut off, and blood was flowing out. If he had not retreated in time, his face would have been split open by Zhou Jing’s saber!
