In a high-level confrontation, it was impossible to appreciate the true essence of the battle just by looking at skill and hand speed. In this match between Huang Shaotian and Wang Jiexi, Wang Jiexi had dug two holes in a row, and it looked like Wang Jiexi was about to fall into them.
Rising Dragon Slash flew through the air, heading in Wang Jiexi's direction of retreat. But this time, Wang Jiexi's reaction was even faster, as if he had expected this. Vaccaria paused in midair and jumped off his broom. He turned, but didn't fly out, only waving it twice in the air. The air flow from the broom caused Wang Buchuan to move slightly, but this slight movement caused Troubling Rain's Rising Dragon Slash to miss. It brushed past Wang Buchuan's body, sending a sword light into the air.
Huang Shaotian knew that the situation wasn't good. On Vaccaria's emotionless system face, he seemed to see Vaccaria's two different-sized eyes flash with a calculating light. This time, it was him who had fallen into Wang Jiexi's trap!
"Peng peng!" Two magic flasks were shattered in the air and on the ground.
Ice Rain slowly fell from the sky, and lava ignited the area. Vaccaria had already flipped his broom around, and was swatting it towards Troubling Rain. This was another Witch skill: Broom Whirlwind.
Huang Shaotian didn't want to get hit like this, but Wang Jiexi had clearly calculated all of his possible moves. The two flasks had been thrown so quickly that Huang Shaotian hadn't had enough time to do anything, and Broom Whirlwind had already been cast. A large-scale magic storm spread out with Vaccaria's whirlwind. This skill covered an extremely large area. Even though Huang Shaotian wanted to use a Falling Light Blade to quickly descend, he ended up like Wang Jiexi's Formless Phantom Blade when he tried to escape. He was caught in the middle of the attack, and was swatted by Vaccaria's whirlwind-like broom, falling from the air to the ground.
Of the three skills, Huang Shaotian's Troubling Rain didn't miss a single one of them. Compared to the powerful skill he had used on Vaccaria, in terms of damage, he was the one at a disadvantage. What was worse was that the situation was now in Wang Jiexi's hands. He had been knocked to the ground, but this wasn't the end …
Huang Shaotian's Quick Recover naturally wouldn't have any problems. The instant he was knocked to the ground, his character took advantage of the momentum and rolled backwards. As for the Witch's Broom Whirlwind, the instant he landed, he also needed to Quick Recover. Otherwise, he would also tumble to the ground. Although he wouldn't receive any damage from the fall, falling to the ground would hinder many opportunities in the eyes of experts. Wang Jiexi also wouldn't make a mistake in such a basic maneuver. His character also rolled and jumped backwards.
The movements of the two characters were as if they had been rehearsed.
Roll and jump back. Immediately afterwards, Troubling Rain's sword flashed from his waist, while Vaccaria's sword flashed from a black shadow from his sleeve …
As they jumped back, the two of them also used a skill each. One used Sword Draw, the other used Shadow Cloak. However, because the two of them had chosen to roll and jump in the opposite direction, the distance between them was instantly pulled apart. The two skills both missed, so neither of them dealt any damage to the other.
The Blade Master didn't seem to have any room to use Sword Dances, while the Witch still had some mid-range attacks. Suddenly, Magic Missile, Magic Ray, and other similar skills began to bombard Troubling Rain. Huang Shaotian didn't have any means to counterattack, so he simply used another powerful skill. Troubling Rain's figure blurred, instantly creating six images. It was Huang Shaotian using the high-level skill Sword Dance Steps.
This skill relied entirely on the user's experience and skill. Huang Shaotian was already at the peak of Blade Masters. When he used this skill, even Wang Jiexi wouldn't be able to tell which one was the real one. Otherwise, this skill would really be useless.
Six Troubling Rain rushed forward.
Wang Jiexi couldn't tell which one was the real one, so he could only use a skill to test it out. However, the high-level skill Sword Dance Steps was far stronger than the Ninja's Shadow Clone Technique. The Ninja's Shadow Clone Technique was just a dummy that didn't move. Moreover, it had health and would disappear after a few attacks. Sword Dance Steps was different. The afterimages created didn't have any health. However, because they were afterimages, attacks would directly pass through them. Relying on this method, it was possible to tell which one was real and which one was fake. However, there was no way to get rid of the afterimages.
Wang Jiexi quickly threw out a few mid-ranged attacks and immediately tried to create two afterimages. However, how could Huang Shaotian be so easily discovered? The six characters changed positions in a daze. The commentator and the guests all cried out in surprise. They even said that under this kind of maneuvering, Wang Jiexi probably wouldn't be able to find the two afterimages he had just created.
Indeed, Wang Jiexi wasn't able to clearly identify the two targets among the six identical characters in such a situation. However, he already knew that Huang Shaotian had this kind of skill, so from the start, he only fiercely stared at one of the two characters. This was something he could at least do. After another wave of probing, he naturally avoided this character and switched to the others.
It had to be known that Huang Shaotian didn't just let Wang Jiexi's attacks hit him. He was also constantly dodging. In this wave of attacks, in the end, he only managed to hit one of them. This was naturally another afterimage.
Wang Jiexi knew very well that probing wouldn't reveal the real body. Huang Shaotian wasn't an idiot to not dodge an attack aimed at the real body.
In the end, the two waves of probing only revealed two afterimages. The six Troubling Rain, under Huang Shaotian's control, had already caught up and surrounded Vaccaria. The six characters maintained their distance and began to circle around him.
"Which one is the real body?" Chen Guo couldn't help but feel nervous as she watched and asked Ye Xiu.
"I don't know either." Ye Xiu shook his head. Huang Shaotian's control of Sword Dance Steps had already reached the pinnacle.
However, Sword Dance Steps couldn't be used continuously. It was just a skill to confuse the opponent. In a competition, victory depended on killing the opponent.
The moment the afterimages disappeared, sword light flashed.
Even though Wang Jiexi was extremely careful, in the end, he was still hit by this attack. If this attack was dodged again, then Huang Shaotian would have wasted all his energy on Sword Dance Steps.
"Between the two of them, who will win?" Chen Guo's personality was always a bit impatient. She always liked to know the result beforehand.
Ye Xiu only slowly shook his head, not saying anything.
Chen Guo was helpless. She could only continue watching the match. And this battle between Gods was truly exciting. Finally, the players in the Internet Cafe, who had been watching Excellent Era's matches, couldn't help but glance at the projection screen from time to time. Later on, they collectively rebelled. They all wanted to see the outcome of this match first.
In the end, neither of the two Gods held the advantage for long. The two sides constantly switched between attacking and defending, completely evenly matched. The health of the two characters also decreased evenly. It looked like the outcome wouldn't be decided until the final moment.
"Wang Jiexi's chances of winning are higher." Ye Xiu suddenly made a prediction.
"Why is that?" Chen Guo hurriedly asked.
"This kind of balanced situation is Wang Jiexi's specialty. Huang Shaotian's specialty is to take advantage of chaotic situations. The more chaotic it is, the easier it is for him to seize an opportunity. But in this match, although it's intense, it's not chaotic at all. Back and forth, the exchanges of attack and defense are actually very standard. In other words, if things continue like this, Huang Shaotian won't have a chance to seize the decisive moment. The match is just a smooth transition. Looking at their attack and defense rhythm, Wang Jiexi will probably seize the opportunity to attack at the last moment. "Ye Xiu said.
"Really?" Chen Guo liked to ask, but after asking, she still wasn't sure.
"Just watch!" Ye Xiu said.
As a result, in Chen Guo's eyes, the skill level of the two sides suddenly decreased. She started counting. This time, Huang Shaotian was attacking. The next time, Wang Jiexi was attacking. The next time, Wang Jiexi was attacking. And the next time …
As she counted, the match finally came to an end. Both sides were at red health. Chen Guo counted for a long time and had some experience. Looking at the situation, she said in surprise, "It seems like … it seems like what you said is true."
Ye Xiu, on the other hand, was silent. He just stared at the match.
"Huang Shaotian doesn't have any ideas?" Chen Guo asked. She felt that it was a little inconceivable that they were heading towards defeat so steadily.
"There is." Ye Xiu only said one word.
"What is it?" Chen Guo hurriedly asked. She loved spoilers.
"Look." Ye Xiu tilted his head towards the projection screen, indicating for Chen Guo to look.
Chen Guo, who had been counting for a long time, looked at the situation and immediately noticed something strange.
"That's not right! At this time, Huang Shaotian should be the one to seize the opportunity to attack. Why … "
After muttering to herself, she suddenly seemed to realize something and immediately said excitedly, "That's right! He purposely gave the opportunity to attack to Wang Jiexi. That way, he'll be the one to make the final attack. "
Chen Guo's excitement only lasted for three seconds, because she had already seen Ye Xiu's disdainful gaze. Thinking about it, she also realized: both sides had limited health. If they gave each other an opportunity, then the progress wouldn't be the same as before. If they continued to go back and forth, then the one to fall first would still be Huang Shaotian, because he would lose one more life.
"Huang Shaotian just wants to break that smooth situation and purposely put himself at a disadvantage." Ye Xiu finally explained.
"Being at a disadvantage is considered an opportunity?"
"Compared to continuing like this, there's a chance of survival. Of course, the chance isn't great. I still think Wang Jiexi is better. He shouldn't be unaware of Huang Shaotian's intentions. To be able to orchestrate this kind of situation, I think he has a way to prevent Huang Shaotian from finding a chance to kill him in one strike. "Ye Xiu said.
