“Flowing Wind is down!”
Sword Shadow Judgment Demon God was somewhat Speechless and a bit astonished. It was indeed hard for him to accept that Sword Shadow Shattered Flow Wind had been killed so quickly. At the same time, he muttered the ID Falling Leaves several times, and with a wave of his staff, he took down Hero Does Not Question Origin, who was engaged in battle.
Meanwhile, Sword Shadow Guardian of the Nine Heavens, who was fighting Li Tielong, held his breath. In his hand was a somewhat battered shield, yet it consistently unleashed exceptionally strong attacks. Combined with his incredibly high defense, he felt as solid as a steel plate.
Li Tielong gritted his teeth. Nearly five minutes had passed since the battle began, and he had finally grasped the situation. The Sword Shadow Guardian of the Nine Heavens had no weapon; that shield served as both armor and weapon, merging the two into what could possibly be some bizarre hidden class.
What left him Speechless was that the defense of this Sword Shadow Guardian of the Nine Heavens was not inferior to his own, perhaps even higher. This puzzled Li Tielong. Logically speaking, defense and Vitality should go hand in hand, but this Sword Shadow Guardian of the Nine Heavens combined high defense with high attack.
High defense, high attack—this was the legendary Lone Ranger!
On another front, after Yi Tianchen intercepted Sword Shadow Shattered Flow Wind, Liu Yuhan moved away alone but soon found herself blocked by another person. This individual wore leather armor and held a light bow in hand, with a quiver on their back containing five arrows glimmering with silver.
“He’s really ruthless! Even brought out the Shadow Assassin Guild.” Liu Yuhan’s expression turned cold as she pulled out her Mirage, focusing on the person before her: “You’re a bowman, disciple of Shadow Blade Feather Edge, known as Sword Shadow Breaks the Sky, fourth in the Shadow Assassin Guild, right?”
Sword Shadow Breaks the Sky paused for a moment; although he smiled, it was chilling: “Looks like you know quite a bit!”
Liu Yuhan smiled back, albeit Speechless: “Three years ago, the Shadow Assassin Guild rose to fame and was at its peak, known as the ‘number one assassin guild’ in China’s Online Game scene. A year ago, they collectively announced their retirement but took on a disciple each before doing so.”
“Correct.”
“Not only that, after taking on their disciples, they imparted all their skills. Shadow Blade Feather Edge is an elite among archers and ranks among the top three in China’s Online Game profession leaderboard. Although you are his disciple, mastering such skills cannot be achieved in a short time.”
Sword Shadow Breaks the Sky was taken aback again: “What do you mean?”
“Given your training time, it has only been about a year; reaching the operational level of the former Shadow Blade Feather Edge is still far from possible.” With a slight smile, Liu Yuhan nocked an arrow onto her bowstring and said with piercing eyes: “What I mean is that your operational skills are still lacking.”
"Uh..."
Upon hearing this, Sword Shadow Breaks the Sky felt a sudden jolt in his heart. Although he was furious, he couldn't find any strong rebuttal. Liu Yuhan's words were undeniably true; despite having received guidance from a renowned master, the time he had spent training was simply too short to reach the heights that others admired.
"Don't speak too confidently. Once we get home, you'll find out soon enough." Sword Shadow Breaks the Sky's expression darkened, and in an instant, he entered Stealth Mode.
Liu Yuhan remained unfazed, a hint of a smile appearing in her beautiful eyes. She aimed at the spot where Sword Shadow Breaks the Sky had just stood and unleashed a Rain of Arrows. In an instant, a flurry of arrows rained down, filling a 5x5 area with deadly precision.
"What the hell!"
An incredulous exclamation escaped Sword Shadow Breaks the Sky's lips. As damage numbers floated up continuously, he revealed himself from stealth. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed astonishing; he had remained completely still, not moving an inch.
However, this couldn't entirely be blamed on Sword Shadow Breaks the Sky. The environment of the Black Magic Forest was quite peculiar, especially with the flowers and grasses underfoot resembling charcoal. Not only did they break when stepped on, but they also emitted a faint sound like brittle wood and released layers of fine black dust.
Though Sword Shadow Breaks the Sky had entered Stealth Mode, it merely concealed his figure. Any movement would inevitably be revealed by the changes in the flora beneath him. Aware of this, he decided to remain motionless as a countermeasure.
From his opponent's perspective, discovering that the target had suddenly gone into stealth would naturally lead to questions about how and when they would attack. After all, how many would believe that an opponent would enter stealth and remain completely still?
While Sword Shadow Breaks the Sky was clever, Liu Yuhan was no fool either. If Sword Shadow Breaks the Sky could notice the unique natural environment beneath him, Liu Yuhan had been in the Black Magic Forest long enough to have noticed it as well. Before Sword Shadow Breaks the Sky even entered stealth, Liu Yuhan had already prepared for this situation.
Thus, when two smart individuals face off against each other, it's no longer about who is smarter but rather whose thoughts are simpler and more direct. The more complicated one makes things, the more likely they are to lose badly. What does it mean to catch someone off guard? It means doing something unexpected that others wouldn't think of.
"Hmm... it seems you really haven't mastered it!" Liu Yuhan said lightly with a smile, then quickly jumped back twice to take cover behind a tree.
Sword Shadow Breaks the Sky felt tears streaming down his face internally; his mind was in turmoil. Why did her words sound so true? Regardless of whether it was true or not or if he had truly mastered his skills, having lost this first round meant he had to make a comeback in the next one.
"It’s my turn."
Liu Yuhan's calm voice suddenly rang out. Sword Shadow Breaks the Sky was taken aback, and in the blink of an eye, Liu Yuhan vanished into Stealth Mode.
"What the hell!"
Sword Shadow Breaks the Sky was shocked! The very technique he had just used was now being employed against him, completely disregarding him. Seeing that Liu Yuhan remained perfectly still in his position, he decided to replicate Liu Yuhan's move against him, raising his hand to unleash a barrage of arrows.
It was a complete copy-paste of an attack, but the outcome was entirely different. As the rain of arrows fell, Sword Shadow Breaks the Sky was left dumbfounded; not only did Liu Yuhan remain hidden, but all the arrows also missed their target without exception.
MISS!
"This... this is impossible!" Sword Shadow Breaks the Sky stared in disbelief, mentally drawing several big question marks in his mind, feeling utterly conflicted. How could such an identical copy-paste fail so miserably when it was aimed at him?
"You fool, behind the tree!"
Liu Yuhan's speechless voice echoed as her figure suddenly appeared. She had forced herself out of Stealth Mode due to her attack. Sword Shadow Breaks the Sky shuddered, unable to hold back tears as he finally realized why his attack had missed; Liu Yuhan had jumped behind the tree trunk while stealthy, blocking his line of sight.
As he looked up, Sword Shadow Breaks the Sky saw two blood-red arrows flying towards him, striking him solidly and causing him to lose nearly 60% of his Vitality. He felt a wave of green wash over his face.
Thinking back to when he was a part of the Shadow Assassin Guild as the top archer under Shadow Blade Feather Edge, his skills were not just "quite impressive," they were "somewhat remarkable!" But what was happening today? Why did he feel like a complete novice being toyed with?
This was humiliating—truly humiliating! Sword Shadow Breaks the Sky thought to himself that Liu Yuhan's words, "You fool, behind the tree!" felt like a long, sharp silver needle piercing deep into his heart, causing him immense pain.
Sword Shadow Breaks the Sky was utterly drunk—drunk beyond comprehension, lost in confusion!
Seeing the situation, Liu Yuhan knew that her psychological tactics had succeeded. From the very first sentence she spoke, she began her strategy of mental warfare, saying, "You really haven't practiced enough," followed by, "You idiot, he's behind the tree," with a playful tone that conveyed the message of "that's just how it is." Ultimately, it all boiled down to "not having practiced enough!"
However, at this moment, the fact that he hadn't practiced enough was no longer important. After a quick shot, Liu Yuhan's subsequent attacks came without pause; she nocked an arrow and unleashed a Multishot. Faced with a rain of arrows, Sword Shadow Breaks the Sky had no time to dodge.
After the Multishot, Sword Shadow Breaks the Sky's Vitality was nearly depleted. Although he managed to launch a counterattack, it was too little too late. Liu Yuhan, on a mission for her mercenary group, seized the opportunity without hesitation. She first fired a Frost Arrow, followed by a Blazing Arrow, perfectly concluding her assault.
With Sword Shadow Breaks the Sky down, Liu Yuhan continued to retreat, but the battle in Black Magic Forest was far from over. In such circumstances, one side rejoiced while the other worried; naturally, Yi Tianchen and his companions were pleased, while members of the Shadow Assassin Guild were filled with concern.
As for the third party, it was Grassroots Crow and his group. Long before the Shadow Assassin Guild arrived, Grassroots Crow and his companions had already faced reprimands for wanting to retreat. Although they belonged to the same faction, their hearts were not in it. What lingered in their minds was simply this thought: The Shadow Assassin Guild is not that impressive after all!
"President, what should we do next?" one person asked.
Grassroots Crow chuckled. Doubts about whether to continue had been swirling in his mind. Seeing that the Shadow Assassin Guild had already lost two members, he said, "Falling Leaves' strength is just too strong; we can't compete with just a few of us. Forget about the commission; let's retreat!"
"Hah... retreat again? Let's play a bit longer!"
A mocking voice suddenly rang out. Grassroots Crow and his companions froze in surprise; why did that voice sound so familiar? Upon closer inspection, they saw two figures—a man and a woman—swiftly approaching like the wind. It was none other than The Terminator of Regrets and Lin Yan, who had almost taken his life before!
"What the hell! You guys are still alive?" Grassroots Crow exclaimed in panic as he quickly withdrew with his staff and shouted to his subordinates, "Quick! Stop them..."
