Electric Wave Formation, Waltzing Wave Slash.
Goblins, the weakest summon, obviously couldn't withstand these two fierce attacks. But what was the point? The spectators could see everything clearly. Lord Grim hadn't been in Electric Wave Formation's range from the start. When the lightning struck towards Goblins, Lord Grim quickly formed a hand seal and used Shadow Clone Technique to launch a sneak attack. His real body flashed to Empty Waves' side.
But!
Empty Waves' Silver weapon, Divine Chain, didn't stop after the Waltzing Wave Slash. Instead, he swung it to the side. The killing intent on his sword condensed, tearing through the void. A Wave Wheel Slash slashed towards Lord Grim.
Ye Xiu was also surprised. Lord Grim had just landed when Wave Wheel Slash arrived. There was no time to dodge. Block? Parry? It was useless. Wave Wheel Slash had grab priority. Even if you used a shield to block it, the sword intent from Wave Wheel Slash would lock onto you and deal damage. Parrying skills could be broken, but parrying skills required timing. It was already too late.
There was no way to break it?
The spectators, including many pro players, thought that this Wave Wheel Slash was unbreakable. Then, they saw Lord Grim swing his arm, bringing out a flash of sword light. The flash of sword light contained the unique wave power of a Spellblade. It was no different from Empty Waves' slash. It was also a Wave Wheel Slash. Wave Wheel Slash against Wave Wheel Slash!
Two streaks of sword light with sword intent entangled with each other.
When two skills collided, the outcome would depend on the attack power of both sides, the timing of the skill, and other factors.
Lord Grim had attacked hastily. The wave power contained in his sword couldn't compare to a professional Spellblade. The Level 20 Spellblade class-change skill, "Wave Killing Intent", was a passive skill that strengthened the wave power. Unspecialized characters didn't have class-change skills, so their wave power was much weaker than a Spellblade's.
Under the judgement, Lord Grim could not be said to have lost. The Fluctuating Power surged over, forcing Lord Grim to take a step back. However, the spatial enchantment created by the Wave Breaker Sword was shattered by the collision. Lord Grim's Wave Wheel Slash wasn't as good as his opponent's, but it wasn't useless. This attack had broken Wave Wheel Slash's grab effect. Ye Xiu had achieved his goal. His character staggered back two steps, but he immediately steadied himself and charged forward.
Although the Magic Swordsman was a swordsman, they specialized in mid-range combat. Close combat wasn't their forte. At the same time Wave Wheel Slash was sent out, Jiang Botao had Empty Waves step to the side to open up some distance. However, Lord Grim's Wave Wheel Slash had broken through the grab effect. However, his character was forced back two steps by the overwhelming wave power. Even though he immediately steadied himself and was about to charge forward, Empty Waves' attack had already arrived. A fierce wave of flames swept out, a Fire Wave Slash.
This was one of the most powerful wave slashes. The impact was also very strong. Since this was a wave of flames, it was impossible to pass through it while enduring the damage. This wasn't a simple wave of flames. This was a wave slash that contained a Spellblade's wave slash!
He couldn't move forward, so he could only dodge. However, Ye Xiu knew that this attack was only the beginning.
Fire, Frost, and Swift Light. These three Spellblade wave slashes contained the three elements of fire, ice, and light. They were often used in succession and were known as "Three Fold Waves." The Fire Wave Slash had already forced Ye Xiu into a fluster. How could he be lacking in Frost and Aurora?
He had to be fast!
Lord Grim turned around and used the Assassin skill, Shining Cut. Cold light flashed as the Fire Wave Slash brushed past his back. When he looked in Empty Waves' direction, he saw that it was indeed "Three Fold Waves." The second Swift Light Wave Slash had already been launched.
Swift Light Wave Slash was named after Swift Light. It was the fastest, but Jiang Bolang had underestimated the movement speed of Lord Grim's skill. This Swift Light Wave Slash flashed past Lord Grim's Shining Cut!
At this moment, applause rang out.
Ye Xiu didn't know, but all the spectators saw it clearly. Empty Waves' Waltzing Wave Slash didn't hit Goblins behind the stalagmite. Instead, it circled around the stalagmite like a boomerang and came back. In order to dodge the Swift Light Wave Slash, Lord Grim had used Shining Cut all the way to the end. As a result, he missed the Swift Light Wave Slash and was hit in the back by the Waltzing Wave Slash that had come from behind the stalagmite.
Lord Grim lost his balance and stumbled forward.
Naive? Simple?
Sure enough, none of this had anything to do with Jiang Botao. How could a naive and simple person make such a clever plan?
Ice Wave Slash!
The third slash of Three Fold Waves swept out, facing the stumbling Lord Grim. Jiang Botao had already calculated his next attack. Just as he was about to execute it, he saw Lord Grim suddenly raise his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. With a whoosh, the umbrella opened up, blocking the Ice Wave Slash in its shield form.
Jiang Botao's heart trembled. The combination of these wave slashes, the distance, and the timing had all been calculated precisely. To be able to react in time at this time, even the system couldn't do it, unless this person had been prepared beforehand!
As this thought flashed through his mind, the Ice Wave Slash crashed into the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's shield. But the ice shards seemed to come to life. After crashing into the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's shield, they turned around and came back at Empty Waves.
As expected, he had been prepared beforehand!
This wasn't just an opening of the umbrella's shield, but a skill: Counter Shield!
Counter Shield depended on the skill's level to attract and reflect damage. Lord Grim's Counter Shield was only level one, so it had the lowest priority. The Ice Wave Slash that came back was much smaller in size, but it didn't slow down in the slightest. In order to ensure that his attack was flawless, Jiang Botao had Empty Waves standing as close to the front as possible. Now that the Ice Wave Slash had returned, he had a difficult time dodging it.
The damage reflected by a level one shield wasn't frightening, but the threat of Ice Wave Slash wasn't its damage, but its freezing effect. Even if the Ice Wave Slash reflected by a low level shield was greatly weakened, and the freezing effect was greatly reduced, it couldn't be ignored. It had to be dodged.
Spellblade classes with plate armor weren't very agile. Dragging his heavy body, Empty Waves managed to throw the Ice Wave Slash behind him, but Lord Grim had already rushed in front of him.
With a loud bang, Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, in the form of a sword, crashed into Empty Waves' plate armor. Knights were also a plate armor class, so their bodies were heavy. If a Knight used Charge, the impact would be enough to send a Spellblade flying. But the impact of Lord Grim's Charge was much weaker. When it collided with the Spellblade, it only made him stumble back a few steps.
But this was exactly what Ye Xiu wanted. He wanted to attack first, so he didn't want to send Empty Waves flying.
"How is it? Do you know how frightening your senior is now?"
While typing, Lord Grim rushed forward. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella turned into a spear, stabbing towards Empty Waves' head.
Jiang Botao didn't have time to reply to Ye Xiu's message. Empty Waves staggered and raised his short sword, Divine Chains, to parry Dragon's Teeth. Who would have thought that the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's form would suddenly change at this moment. The upturned surface of the umbrella retracted, and Divine Chains suddenly missed its target. What appeared in Jiang Botao's view was a pitch-black muzzle.
Boom boom boom!
Three Anti-Tank Missiles flew out. At this distance, they were aimed directly at Empty Waves' head. How could he dodge? Wave after wave of explosions enveloped Empty Waves' upper body in an instant.
Light Flash!
The end of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella transformed into a sword. Two sword lights flashed horizontally, sending out a Cross Slash.
On Empty Waves' side, his upper body was still in the midst of the explosion, but his short sword, Divine Chains, swung down from where his parry had missed. Ghost Slash!
Because they both dealt magic damage, Ghostblades and Spellblade skills were quite powerful. This slash directly collided with Lord Grim's Cross Slash.
Ghost Slash had a Blow Away effect, so it had high attack priority. The collision immediately shattered the Cross Slash's sword light. Lord Grim hastily jumped back to dodge the attack.
The heavenly chains that hung down were raised once more. This was the Spellblade's main skill: Earthquake Sword.
The shockwave swept up the sand on the ground and flew towards Lord Grim. At this moment, the smoke from Empty Waves' explosion hadn't completely dissipated yet. From Jiang Botao's perspective, it could be seen that his vision was blurry. But even in this situation, he was still able to use two skills in a row.
Twisting his body, Lord Grim dodged the Earthquake Slash. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella swung horizontally, changing shape into a scythe, but then into a Priest class. An Exorcist skill, Soul Hook, locked onto Empty Waves' throat.
Jiang Botao's vision had returned to normal. His character rolled, dodging the attack. He raised his sword and followed up with a Wave Breaker.
Back and forth, the two began a direct confrontation. Lord Grim's health was too low. Even if he kept healing at the start, he wouldn't be able to save much. In this round, not many people expected him to win. They just wanted to see if he could wear down his next opponent. In the end, after taking away 24% of Empty Waves' health, Lord Grim fell.
Taking away a quarter of the opponent's health from 4% at the start was already a pretty good harvest. Happy was very satisfied. He stood up and applauded Ye Xiu. Of course, the applause was mainly for Ye Xiu's victory in the first round. Defeating Zhou Zekai was a huge psychological blow. Ye Xiu didn't know, but the others were watching from the sidelines. They knew that after Zhou Zekai's defeat, the atmosphere in Samsara's home stadium had been dead for a long time.
Mo Fan, Happy's second player, stood to the side and applauded like a robot. After Ye Xiu returned, he walked towards the stage.
"Be careful. That guy's very evil," Ye Xiu warned.
Who knew if Mo Fan heard him or not. He just walked away. On the side, Fang Rui booed Ye Xiu. "Is there anyone more evil than you?"
"Of course not. Boss is the best at everything!" Baozi replied for Ye Xiu.
