Chapter 560: Repeated Sneak Attacks
Time, back to the present.
Hugo was indeed caught off guard by Philibert's surprise attack.
At this moment, Hugo was seen rolling and retreating, and raising his arms to block, thus barely avoiding his head from being directly split open by the holy whip.
However, even though he defended so desperately, in the end a large piece of flesh was pulled out of his left forearm.
Seeing this scene, Sun and Huang immediately felt relieved, thinking that this butler was nothing special - he had a hard time fighting Philibert alone, so if we two were added, wouldn't he be beaten like a dog in minutes?
"Maria!" On the other hand, Andre, who revealed his true face, approached Nancy and began to call her real name.
But when Nancy saw this, she immediately shook her head to deny it.
She first whispered a few times: "No...no...I'm not..."
The voice became smaller and smaller, and the tone became weaker and weaker.
As she muttered, she instinctively raised one hand and covered her face.
But when her hand touched her face, the abnormal touch from her palm seemed to give her another painful blow, which made her shudder and turn around and run away.
Andre didn't say much and immediately chased after him, and Coman also chased after him. After all, the lord's wife was still carried on Nancy's shoulders.
"There's no time to explain! You guys should hurry up and follow him, and just do what Philibert says. Leave this to us!"
Two seconds later, Huang Donglai saw that the other people in the banquet hall, namely Roman, Tyrael, and Balder, were still standing there at a loss, so he quickly shouted this to them.
Since the three people did not know about the head-swapping, from their perspective Andre was the "Philibert" they knew, so Huang Donglai could only express it this way when he "didn't have time to explain".
Fortunately, among the three, at least Tyrael had absolute trust in Shuangxie. After hearing these incoherent words, he took action without hesitation and shouted as he ran: "Mr. Roman, Balder, just do as he says!"
So, Roman and Balder followed one after another and chased out with Tyrael.
Now, the banquet hall was in a situation where Philibert, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai were facing Hugo alone.
Hugo, who had just been beaten and was rolling in a panic, had now retreated to a corner far away and stood up again.
He didn't pay any attention to Nancy's situation and didn't seem to care.
He did not show the slightest fear, but instead returned to his original cold, all-controlling demeanor.
"Heh..." After standing still, Hugo sneered and slowly raised his injured hand, showing the wound on his forearm that was healing rapidly to his enemies. "At this time, I should be glad that I'm not a vampire."
Shuangxie did not quite understand what he said, but Philibert understood it clearly.
Previously, when Philibert broke into the city alone, he was defeated by Hugo and Nancy. At that time, he already knew that the Holy Whip of the Belmondo family had no restraining effect on a "non-vampire" like Hugo (real vampires cannot heal quickly after being injured by the Holy Whip).
Of course, even so, Philibert almost won that time, but in the end...
"Last time, I couldn't bear to attack Nancy, and I was distracted for a moment, so I fell into your hands... Now, with this whip, we are even." Philibert has always been an upright person, so he was still a little bit bothered by his trick of pretending to faint and attacking just now, and saying this was just to make up for it.
But...Sun Huang doesn't have this kind of burden.
"Why waste time talking to him?" Sun Yixie jumped out immediately, "There's no need to talk about morality when dealing with this kind of evil!"
"That's right!" Huang Donglai also came forward and said, "As long as we rush forward together, even if he has three heads and six arms, he will be dead!"
At this moment, both Sun and Huang showed unprecedented high fighting spirit.
Among them, about 3% were motivated by justice, righteousness, and chivalry.
Another 97% is because Hugo’s memory already contains the important clues of the "Thirteen Zodiac Signs Incident of Mistakenly Walking into the Yandeng Slope" and the "Clown Pulling Pants Incident in the VIP Toilet"...so this bastard must die.
As for Hugo, when he heard the two "righteous demon hunters" villains speaking so frequently, he had nothing to say, so he decided to stop talking and just fight.
Suddenly, a cold deathly aura emanated from Hugo's body.
This aura was soundless and colorless, yet it was as heavy as a mountain, pressing people so hard that they could not move.
In the blink of an eye, a silver-white light fell like a waterfall, condensing behind Hugo and transforming into a huge sickle held in his hand.
It happened in a flash. When Sun and Huang saw Hugo was about to draw his weapon, they ran to the left and right sides in tacit understanding, and each jumped onto a pillar of the banquet hall to bounce back and accelerate, then rushed towards Hugo's sides.
Philibert took out a bottle of holy water and threw it towards Hugo as a sign of respect.
Faced with the attack from three sides, Hugo remained calm. The next second, he left the ground with both feet and flew into the air, leaving the holy water bottle empty.
Then, he raised his hands again and made a motion to slowly raise the large sickle from behind to in front of him; this action brought out dozens of small sickles out of thin air from nowhere, and these small sickles scattered towards the two enemies on the left and right like a barrage of bullets, not only blocking their attacks, but also causing a lot of flesh wounds on their limbs.
Someone may ask, why was Sun Huang fine when he was attacked by those feather blades when fighting those harpies in the bell tower, but he was injured so badly by Hugo's "sickle rain" now?
Then I can only say...the two are on completely different levels.
If those feather blades are compared to flying knives thrown by ordinary people, then Hugo's small sickles are similar to blade-shaped cannonballs shot out of a gun barrel.
Not only are the latter much faster and more powerful than the former, but their numbers, strange flight trajectories, and properties that appear almost out of thin air make them impossible to defend against.
"Fuck! What's going on? Isn't this bitch very green?"
"What the hell... was he just acting?"
Just as Sun and Huang were forced to retreat several feet and hid behind a pillar to curse...
Philibert, however, did not retreat but advanced.
At this moment, the young legendary demon hunter stepped on the marble floor of the banquet hall, causing it to crack inch by inch and a network of cracks appeared.
Immediately afterwards, he leaped forward and rushed into the rain of sickles.
In this storm of sharp blades that even Huang Donglai could not withstand with his body skills, Philibert was able to handle it with ease; his body was as fast as lightning and as agile as smoke, and he dodged and sprinted, avoiding the attack of each small sickle by a millimeter time and time again, and approached his opponent.
A few seconds later, when Philibert successfully came within a foot of Hugo, two cold lights flashed from his wrists! They were two silver flying knives with ancient sacred texts engraved on the blades, attacking the two major acupoints on Hugo's chest, Yutang and Zhongwan, respectively.
I'm sure you readers have read a lot of fighting comics, and you should all know that the human body's front longitudinal midline is full of weak points.
Such as the forehead, nose bridge, philtrum, chin, thoracic vertebrae, mid-abdomen, genitals... There are many places where just one hit can make a person fall to the ground in pain.
The same applies to humanoid monsters like Hugo.
puff-
Because the distance was close enough, neither the small sickle nor Hugo's body could defend against the two attacks, and both flying knives penetrated his chest.
Hugo certainly wouldn't fall to the ground due to the pain, but he was certainly "in pain", and the inscriptions on the two throwing knives could temporarily suppress his self-healing ability, which was very disadvantageous to him.
Ping Ping Ping——
At the same time, Philibert, who had come close to his opponent, had already swung the holy whip in his hand like a wheel. The overlapping and impenetrable whip shadows acted as a shield to repel all those powerful small sickles. At this time, he also took out a special hand axe and prepared to throw it at Hugo's face who was hovering high.
Seeing this... Sun Huang finally understood.
Why did Hugo panic when he was suddenly attacked by Philibert before he entered the combat state? Because Philibert was ridiculously strong.
When facing humans as opponents, Philibert's strength may not be very stable. It is possible that he can "fight back and forth with top masters, but fail against second-rate people." However... when fighting against these demons and evil spirits, he is definitely a master among masters.
All the training he had received in his life, all the knowledge, skills, equipment he had... even the blood flowing in his body, all existed to deal with these things.
Hugo, who had fought with him once, knew this, so Hugo knew very well that if he was hit by that sneak attack without transforming, he might really be killed by a "headshot", otherwise why would he be in such a miserable state?
However, Sun and Huang were misled by Philibert's performance and thought that "I can do it too".
"Hmph... Are you using this move again? But this time is different from last time."
Seeing that Philibert was about to use his hand axe after throwing the flying knife, Hugo took the lead, stopped the rain of sickles, and instead swung the scythe to attack, forcing Philibert to do a whip-throwing leap sideways.
"I don't feel any difference..." Philibert was also young and energetic. He didn't expect Sun Huang to be of any help in the battle from the beginning. From his perspective, Sun Huang's main task was to help him communicate with others and help him complete the sneak attack. After that, whether the two of them left with the others or stayed with him to besiege Hugo... it didn't make any difference. Anyway, he thought he had a sure win in a one-on-one fight with Hugo.
However, this time, he also miscalculated.
Hugo was right, the difference in strength between the two was different from last time.
呲——
A few seconds later, Hugo grabbed and pulled out the two inscribed throwing knives on his chest easily and threw them at his feet.
"What? How could you..." Philibert was confused, because Hugo was unable to pull this thing out by himself.
"Heh..." Hugo understood what the other party was surprised about, which made his smile even more proud. "Let me put it this way... During the time you were sleeping in the laboratory, I used your blood to do a lot of interesting experiments, and this ability you see now... is one of the results."
After these words were spoken, Philibert's expression changed slightly.
Anyone who hears this kind of news would be more or less surprised and angry, and Philibert is no exception.
Fortunately, after a few seconds, he regained his composure, because at this time... standing in his position, he saw some things that Hugo could not see.
"It seems that this battle is indeed different from the last one." Philibert's expression relaxed, and he shrugged, and then said, "But... like you, I also have factors on my side that you can't predict."
"Oh?" Hugo raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Are you referring to those two who can't even get close to me..."
bang——
Before he could finish his words, a gunshot came from behind.
