"Oh, I get it, this is the Xianzhou. But is this PV about Nero's story after he returned to the Xianzhou, or is it about before he left?"
Siberian Duck muttered to himself, but the viewers were clearly more concerned about something else.
[I Use Pantene: I think I know what this PV's name means now.]
[Aha's Emanator: Nero: Picked up a cat, guys, it wants to go home with me!]
[Nero Is My Husband: So this is what Nero's daily life in the Xianzhou is actually like? It feels kind of immortal-like. He really was lying about selling tea, right? He's actually some young master from a big clan, isn't he? Hehehe, then if I marry Nero wouldn't that mean I'm living off him?]
[Glue Man: Knows fate, defies fate man.]
Siberian Duck glanced at the bullet comments, raised his hand, saying, "Even though Yellow Pee Bro is outrageous, this really is an enviable lifestyle. Relaxed, nothing to worry about, taking a walk, teasing a cat... sigh, so jealous!"
[So Handsome I Get Beaten on the Street: The streamer just said that, and Nero got ambushed right away. Whether there's a connection between those two, I won't say.]
[So Ugly I Get Scolded at Home: So why is Blade hitting Nero?]
In the video, the animation continued.
A cold smile hung on Blade's lips. When he saw Nero dodge his sneak attack, he didn't look surprised.
Then, Blade wiped his sword with his hand, stepped forward in a bow stance, and charged at Nero again.
Nero had still been confused before this. He normally had no dealings with the Stellaron Hunters, so why did Blade suddenly jump out to slash at him? But at this moment, Blade's attack came again, so he pulled his thoughts back.
He turned his head to glance. The cat he had just picked up had already run off. Nero twisted his waist and bent back to dodge a sword strike.
After that, Blade swung several more times in a row, all of which Nero dodged with movements that didn't look very professional and were a bit strange.
Simply put, he didn't understand swordsmanship or martial arts at all. He relied entirely on his physical strength and brute force.
But through the video, you couldn't tell any of that. Most viewers would only feel that the exchange between the two was thrilling and intense, that Nero was narrowly dodging every time.
While dodging Blade's attacks, Nero was also observing his movements.
How he exerted force when swinging the sword, how much strength he used, how he pulled back and adjusted his rhythm, what kind of sword moves he used...
The kid had never practiced martial arts, but luckily he was spoiled by others and had high talent.
For example, when he forcefully broke into Jettok's mirror world before, he didn't understand the principle at all, he just wanted to do it and it worked.
Maybe this was a benefit brought by transmigration, or maybe the system was secretly helping.
Nero didn't really want to fight the Stellaron Hunters. From all the plot he had played in his previous life, his judgment was that these people could be treated as allies for now and even for a long time to come.
If he accidentally broke one of them, it might cause trouble... but luckily it was Blade who came, so he wasn't afraid of breaking him.
Don't be fooled by how Nero jumps and chops this and that every day, looking like he wants to fight whenever there's a disagreement. In fact, he is a pacifist.
If he can avoid fighting, he will try not to fight. But once a fight is necessary, he will do everything he can to beat the opponent until not even scraps are left.
Even Nanook would have to say, "You pass!"
As he dodged Blade's attacks, a flash of inspiration suddenly lit up in Nero's mind.
If he remembered correctly, there was a part of the plot where they fought on the Xianzhou. Of the three people who showed up, Dan Heng and Yanqing were both flying. Only Blade...
Blade couldn't fly, so if he flew up, the fight couldn't continue.
So, seizing the opportunity, Nero raised his hand and flicked his finger, preparing to widen the distance so Blade couldn't get close.
On the other side, Blade thrust out another sword. When he saw Nero use a finger against his blade, he couldn't help frowning slightly.
For a split second, he thought the boy in front of him had gone crazy and subconsciously held back a bit of strength.
This encounter was only because of the mission. Elio believed it was necessary to observe this suddenly appearing, unobservable special kid at close range.
As for Blade himself, when he first saw the other party, he was a little stunned. He saw a bit of an old friend's shadow on him.
It wasn't that he couldn't bring himself to kill if he really had to, but in a daze he would feel like he was facing the wine-loving foxian named Baiheng, so he needed some mental preparation in advance.
However, something Blade didn't expect happened.
As fingertip and sword edge touched, an indescribable surging force ran through the blade.
The fragments of the Shattered Sword trembled on their own. That force traveled along the hilt into his arm and all the way into his body.
A fierce wind rose from the ground. Blade was blown back more than ten meters before stabilizing himself again.
He understood. The other party wasn't simply flicking with his finger. He was using other strength to assist.
But...
Blade raised his head and looked at Nero, who had flown into the sky.
In this situation, he really didn't have much of a way to deal with it...
In midair, Nero looked at his own finger, blinked twice, and the smile on his face deepened.
With the same output, the impact of focusing it on a point and spreading it over an area was completely different.
If he had used the force that blew away those Silvermane Guards in front of the Everwinter Monument in Belobog as a concentrated point, he was confident he could flick a hole into the Engine of Creation.
Nero and Blade were fighting fiercely, but in the video, the battle was shown from a third-person perspective.
After Nero put the black cat down, the player's view began to follow the cat's perspective. At this moment, the black cat was crouching on a tree branch, watching this scene.
"Oh my, my Fish is so handsome. Although Blade is handsome too... this PV's main character really is Nero, right? That finger flick against the sword was such a cool move!"
Siberian Duck said, "Brothers, in the main storyline Nero is strong too, but except for the final battle where he really puts in effort, he usually plays the cute role. Now he's starting to act cool."
[Alex: Really cool!]
[Pom-pom: The duel between Blade and Nero gives me the feeling that Blade's moves are sharp and measured in advance and retreat, while Nero, although lacking in techniques, responds to every move and steadily suppresses Blade in inner strength. Although it looks evenly matched, who is stronger is already obvious at a glance.]
[Amen: You wrote a lot, I'll listen to you.]
[Nero Is My Husband: Nero, flick me! If you flick my sword like that, wouldn't I be instantly cured!]
[Miss Herta Fan Support Club: You'd probably be cured just by Nero looking at you.]
[Knight of Beauty: As expected of the Miss Herta Fan Support Club, your words are really sharp.]
In the scene, Nero looked at Blade and began to think.
Anyway, Blade would be captured sooner or later. Since he ran into him now, why not just capture him and hand him over to Jing Yuan?
After all, he was a wanted criminal with a high bounty.
Sending him to the IPC might be a bit troublesome, but handing him to Jing Yuan would definitely be no problem. He could even get some pocket money from that general.
Although with the care from the Sleepless Marquis and the gradually operating Fragmentum industry he wouldn't be short of money... who would complain about having full pockets?
