For Rod, the battle was not easy.

If Lijie in front of her only has her own strength, then Rod doesn't need half a minute to say that she is completely cleaned up. But in fact, it's not that simple, although I don't know what tricks the Dao Chaos Heart Demon used, but it obviously stimulated Lijie's spiritual power, plus this is in Lijie's mental space, she has the most powerful authority and power, and because of this, in the face of Lijie, Rod and Anne are obviously not very easy.

In the previous series of fights, Rod had already noticed that the strength of this "Lijie" was probably at the level of a level 60 to 65 BOSS. Fortunately, since this does not really belong to Lijie's strength, this phantom body is only the same as the boss in terms of basic attributes such as speed, strength and reaction, but other than that, she doesn't have any special skills, and even the spiritual magic that Lijie herself can use, she can't use it.

However, that didn't make it any easier for Rode.

Because Lijie knew him and Anne too well.

As a spirit master, Lijie has always played the role of supporting in battle, so this naturally requires her to have an understanding and mastery of the fighting styles and methods of her companions. But now, these experiences have become the most fatal weakness, although there is no way to use spiritual arts, but with the help of its basic attributes that are no less than level 60 bosses, Lijie still dodged Rod's deadly sneak attacks again and again, and even Annie's attack, she raised her hand to block it without care, and even if it finally caused damage to her, Lijie would recover quickly.

"Bell!!"

Crashing sounds.

The twin swords and the pitch-black horsewhip intertwined and collided, emitting countless sparks. Looking at Rod in front of her, Lijie raised her eyebrows. She sneered, and then threw herself forward. And with Lijie's movements, Rod immediately felt an incomparably powerful force surging from the horsewhip like a wave, and just when the huge force wave was rushing towards him and was about to swallow him, Rod immediately pulled back neatly. Then he flipped backwards suddenly, and at this moment, I saw a bright and dazzling soul light suddenly burst out from the horsewhip, as if it was an extension of it, whistling through the air, and it could fly past Rod's body, only to hear a loud "boom", and the originally hard and flat marble floor was suddenly torn out one after another deep and vivid scars. And the wave of qi that swept up with the power of the soul blew Rod more than ten meters away, and then barely stopped.

"Oh, it's a pity that you avoided it again. Mr. Rhodes. ”

Looking at Rod not far away, Lijie picked up the horsewhip, put it in front of her, and gently stroked it with one hand, what appeared on that face was a tyrannical and excited smile that Rod had never seen before. The girl caressed the whip with one hand and looked at him with glowing eyes.

"But that's fun, isn't it? Mr. Rhodes? I've never seen you scream in pain. You've always been like this, and you seem to know everything in your mind. Nothing can shake your heart. But what now? Do you think you can beat me here? It's a ridiculous idea, but I don't care, you can give it a try, Mr. Rhodes. I will let you taste the pain of defeat and despair completely, and when the time comes, I will make you completely bow down at my feet. Pray for my gift, ahahah............ Just imagining this scene, I can't help it!! ”

As she spoke, Lijie's body began to tremble again, and then she gasped in a low voice. Then the girl waved the whip in her hand vigorously, making a loud sound of breaking the air.

"Boom ........."

And with Lijie's movement, a low, like rolling thunder sounded, and then, Rod felt the sky above his head suddenly darken. He stepped back almost subconsciously, and the long and narrow shadow began to extend backwards, and Rod's body disappeared into it in an instant. And at this time, a behemoth fell from the sky and fell heavily in front of Rod.

It was a huge stone statue of an angel more than three meters tall, but it was different from the previous stone statues, there were no feathers on the wings behind her, only the skeleton of Bai Sensen, which kept swinging like a spider's foot. The angel was naked, holding a huge stone hammer and shield in his hands, looking blankly ahead, as if he were a puppet——— it was indeed just a puppet.

There is no end to this.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Rod frowned, in the spiritual space, he was naturally the most powerful master of the spiritual space. Although the Chaos Heart Demon can induce, it can't manipulate the mental space of others by itself. That's why it uses all kinds of means to lure its prey to take the initiative to destroy those enemies that are full of threats. And this process is also a process of chaos mind demons luring prey to keep repeating themselves and self-awareness. There is a saying that a lie repeated a thousand times is the truth, and this is especially true in the spiritual world. If the Chaos Demon had been tricking Lijie into thinking that she and Anne were the enemies she had to kill, then after repeated brainwashing, Lijie would have taken the initiative to do so, and she would have made the same decision even without the Chaos Demon's hints. Now there is such a sign, originally in this temple, there is nothing else except for the two Lijie, which also means that in the deepest part of this heart, the Chaos Heart Demon can only manipulate the phantom. But now, there are other enemies here, which means that Lijie is gradually taking the initiative to repeat this realization and begin to acknowledge its existence.

If Rod can't kill the Chaos Heart Demon as soon as possible and liberate Lijie from the mental space, then soon after such a repeating process, Lijie will take the initiative to take over the big stick to destroy them, and at that time, Rod and Annickle will be out of luck. This is Lijie's spiritual realm, to put it bluntly, this is a miniature realm, and Lijie is the god of this world. Here, she does what she wants, her heart does what she wants, and nothing can stop her actions.

Taking a step back, even after a hard, long battle, Rhodes defeated the Chaos Demon. It liberates the mind space, but it can also have an irreversible effect on that person's soul and spirit. In the game, there is such a setting, from the moment the player enters the mental space, there will be a time limit, if the player defeats the Chaos Demon within the time limit, and liberates the mental space. Then nothing will happen to the other party. However, if the player exceeds the time limit, then the Chaos Demon will integrate the spirit of the prey too deeply, causing the player to completely damage the spirit and soul of the prey while defeating the Chaos Demon. And once the mental space is damaged, then even if it recovers, it may be damaged by the great trauma on the spiritual and soul level. If you just become nervous because of this, it is okay, and even become a walking corpse, or a complete mental breakdown, and become a madman with no reason to speak of.

Rod didn't want that. He had to settle the battle in the shortest possible time. However, in the mental space, it is not a good way to fight hard. Just look at Lijie and know that she doesn't know any swordsmanship, she doesn't know any physical skills, every time she blocks and attacks Rod, she uses the simplest combat skills, and if she changes it to someone else, doing so in front of Rod, is simply looking for death. But this is Lijie's spiritual space. She has the most authority here, her strength. The speed and reflexes are above the current Rod, so even if Lijie can only use the simplest combat skills, Rod can't do anything about her for a while.

However, Rhodes also knows very well that the battle in the spiritual space is not so simple. It is impossible to succeed by brute force alone. If it's someone else's mental space. Then maybe Rhodes will have to work harder,

"I've got this statue over to you, Annie."

Staring at the tall stone statue in front of him, Rod said to Anne beside him without looking back.

"I'll let Light Snow help you, take care of yourself. Just contain it, don't think about destroying it completely, you see? Hold it and keep it away from me. ”

"Anne understands, Captain."

Hearing Rod's words, Anne nodded, she raised the shield in her hand, and stared at the stone statue in front of her. And at this time, Rode's figure shook again, and the dark dance started instantly, and soon, I saw Rode's figure suddenly merge with the shadow in front of him, like a poisonous snake wandering on the ground, and quickly rushed towards Lijie.

“————！！”

The angel seemed to sense Rod's movements, it raised the stone hammer in its hand and smashed it down to the ground, and the dull and piercing sound of a huge impact echoed throughout the temple, and with this sound, even the entire temple floor seemed to shake at the same time. But the angel's attack failed to hit the target, and the serpent-like shadow slipped away from the edge of its stone hammer and continued to move forward at a rapid pace. Seeing this scene, the angel statue raised the weapon in his hand again.........

"Bang!!"

The heavy shield of adamantite gold roared past, and appeared in front of the angel statue with sharp breaking air, striking it heavily in the chest. In the face of this sudden attack, the angel statue couldn't bear it, and suddenly its body was crooked, and it took two steps backwards before barely stopping. Soon, it turned its head to look at Anne on the other side.

"Come here, big man!"

Feeling the gaze of the angel statue, Anne did not have the slightest fear, on the contrary, the girl even reached out and patted the surface of the shield heavily.

"Let Anne see, what is so great about you!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the angel statue raised the stone hammer in its hand and swung it towards Anne.

Shadows flickered.

The crossed blades swept past Lijie's side, and the girl dodged Rod's attack like a feather, and jumped backwards leisurely, and then she looked at Rod in front of her with a smile on her face, full of confidence and arrogance.

"Mr. Rhodes, it's useless, no matter what you do, it's useless. Isn't it nice to be obedient? No, it's not good, it's more interesting that you're disobedient, isn't it? Huhuhu, I like you the way you are, Mr. Rhodes, and only in this way will conquer you that I will enjoy the pleasure and addiction that goes deep into my soul. Resist as much as you want, but no matter how you resist, Mr. Rhodes, you will eventually be mine. ”

"I didn't expect you to be so eager to get me, Lijie."

This time, Rhodes did not continue to attack after a miss, on the contrary. He crossed his blades and blocked in front of him, and while looking at the girl, he said, "I always thought that you had no interest in me. I can't see that you have such a strong attachment and desire for me, it seems that I have really become stupid. ”

"yes. Mr. Rhodes, you're just too stupid. ”

Hearing Rod's words, Lijie narrowed her eyes happily.

"I've always been by your side, but you've never been aware of my feelings, what's the matter? Why did you never want to respond to me? Forget it, there is no point in saying this now, because from now on you will be completely what belongs only to me, and you are only allowed to live for me. Die for me. You can't hug other women but me, and you can't do shameless things with them! You're mine! Everything about yours is mine! ”

After saying the most ridiculous, Li Jie suddenly became excited, she clenched the horsewhip with both hands, and the originally straight horsewhip was also slowly bent under the influence of the girl, making a few tearing sounds. Hearing Lijie's answer, the expression on Rod's face finally changed a little. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a mocking smile.

"I really didn't expect that. Your desire for exclusivity is so strong, Lijie, but alas, I don't belong to you. ”

"Click."

At this moment, the air seemed to freeze suddenly, and the originally formless air. At this time, it was like tangible ice, almost enveloping the entire space of the temple. Lijie held the horsewhip with both hands, her eyes widened, she bit her lip, and looked at Rhodes with a pale face. His expression revealed anger, hatred, and disbelief.

"You............ What did you say? ”

"What about me? I don't like to be bound by a woman, and I can't belong to just one woman. Because for me, there are just a little too many women around. Saying this, Rod spread out his hands and looked at Lijie in front of him, whose face was becoming more and more iron and stiff, with a smile of complete victory. So, I can only say that there are too many women who want to share with me. Ah, Canary, I think you already know the truth, after all, you saw it with your own eyes that day. As for Annie............ Well, she's in better shape than you, but she's still a little younger, so it's not too late for her to enjoy it when she's a little older. Oh, yes, I don't think you'd think of this person, Marlene. We had already had a relationship at the Midsummer Festival, and she and I were very happy with it. And for me, being tied down by a woman is really boring..............."

"Shut up!!"

Before Rod could finish his words, Lijie suddenly shouted angrily, and then she rushed towards Rode, and the horsewhip in her hand was whipped towards the man in front of her without the slightest pause. However, this time, in the face of Lijie's attack, Rod did not choose to retreat and resist, on the contrary, after seeing Lijie's attack, Rode's eyes lit up, and then, the two blades staggered, swinging forward.

Almost instantly, countless stars erupted, and the brilliance of the stars connected into a sea of light, and waves of light swept across the sky. It scared Li Jie, she had never seen Rod use such a swordsmanship in her memory, and this time Rod was violent, and the wave of qi brought by the whistling sword even faintly made Li Jie feel a little tingling. At this time, the girl's lack of effective combat skills is immediately apparent. Faced with the brilliance of the sword that was already overwhelming, and even Rod's body was wrapped in it, Li Jie could only barely stop, put the horsewhip in front of her, and then shook it hard, and with Li Jie's movements, two soul lights suddenly burst into a flash, like two sharp blades tearing through layers of layers of starlight webs that were densely connected.

But at this time, there was no longer a figure of Rod behind.

Left!

Li Jie turned around suddenly, raised her horsewhip in front of her, and sure enough, at this moment, the black chain sword flew out like a wandering poisonous snake, connecting and cutting two strange arcs in the air, straight to Li Jie's neck. Although Rod's speed is fast enough and his actions are weird enough, Lijie is much higher than him in terms of physical attributes after all, so in the face of Rod's attack, Lijie still quickly raised her whip to block the fangs that had almost reached her side, and as long as she raised her head, she could completely bite the fangs of her fate.

"Bell!!"

The pitch-black chain sword and the horsewhip staggered and flew to the side, but Lijie did not let go of this opportunity, she flipped her wrist, and soon, the horsewhip was raised high, and the black chain sword in front of him was drawn, and the two sides exchanged blows again, this time Rod seemed to finally can't bear Lijie's strong force, and swings to the side. Lijie chuckled and moved to pursue——— then she suddenly stopped and rolled almost to the right.

"Whew!!"

The light of the meteor that pierced the starry sky flashed across Lijie's cheeks, and a few strands of blonde hair fell from the sky, Lijie turned around and looked at Rhodes standing behind her with a blue face. She couldn't imagine why Rod, who was still in front of her just now, suddenly appeared behind her again at this time, and the girl turned her head, and soon she got the answer——— Selestina was standing there, holding the thorn whip in her hand, and looked at her with a raised brow.

"Ah, I forgot to introduce you, Lijie. This is one of my women, Selestina, who, as you may know, is a devil. Well......... You say you want to give me supreme pleasure, but I have to say that I have received supreme enjoyment from Selestina, so I don't think there is any need to give up a forest for the sake of a tree. ”

"The master is right, little girl."

Hearing Rod's words, Serestina glared at Rod fiercely, but she continued.

"I'm more attractive than a little girl like you, isn't I?"

"No!!"

Hearing this, Lijie's complexion was finally completely distorted. (To be continued.) )
