Deception had been too careless. He didn't put these two players with broken equipment in his eyes. If not, with his skill and equipment advantage, even if he was facing Tang Rou and Baozi, he wouldn't have been beaten so badly.
Circle Swing was a forceful grab, so he couldn't use Quick Recover to avoid falling to the ground. However, Deception was fast enough. As soon as he fell to the ground, he immediately followed up with a roll. In the blink of an eye, he was already in a half crouch. It really did look like he had used Quick Recover to avoid falling to the ground.
Deception had already put away all of his contempt. Right now, he hated that he had used up all of his ninja tools.
Ninja tools were also part of the skill tree, but they were different from ninjutsu. Ninjutsu could be used immediately after forming the hand seals, but ninja tools needed to be made first before they could be used. There was a limit to how many ninja tools could be made. Most ninjas would always have them on hand, but Deception had been running all the way here. He had used up all of his Smoke Bombs and Caltrops as soon as they came off cooldown.
If he wanted to use them again, he would need to make ninja tools first, but how could he have the time to do that?
Right now, seeing that there were two powerful players blocking his way, Deception regretted using up all of his tools. In this situation, there was no way he would leave any time to make ninja tools.
As a matter of fact, while he was in a half crouch, Han Yanrou's spear had already stabbed towards him. Deception immediately twisted his body to avoid it, but then he saw a huge lump of something shake his body. It wasn't a skill or a tool, it was a person! Baozi Invader pounced on him and pressed him to the ground. Then, he began to punch him in the face.
Deception wanted to cry. Although he had always been a loner, he still had a lot of experience in the game. Baozi Invader had used the Brawler skill "Tyrannical Chain Punch", which was to press him to the ground and then randomly hit him. But a skill was just a skill. Every player would use it differently. To Deception, this guy who was fiercely hammering him was simply crazy. He wasn't using any skill at all. He didn't use any skill at all!
What could he do about it? He had been knocked to the ground by this guy who didn't have any skill at all. Not long after, the "Tyrannical Chain Punch" ended, which meant that there was no longer any suppressing effect on the target. Deception hastily had his character drill into the ground.
"Hm!" Baozi shouted in surprise.
"You've never seen it before?" Tang Rou said. Han Yanrou's spear stabbed towards him. The Underground Tunneling Technique wasn't completely undetectable when it was hidden underground, and the ninja blade's scabbard was a flaw. It was just too subtle, it was easy to use use the terrain. But Deception had used a skill in front of everyone. Who wouldn't know where he was hiding? Han Yanrou's's's spear.. a skill ''s't.
The Underground Tunneling Technique was not so rigid. There was a small area of activity where one went down and where one went up. . a's's's's's, he's''s''t's, he's's's's,'s When Han Yanrou's spear stabbed down, Deception dashed out from behind her. Ninja swords didn't have any cold glints to them. They silently stabbed at Han Yanrou. Deception had already rushed out. Right now, no matter how confident he was, he didn't dare to fight with the two of them. There were more people behind him, especially that Lord Grim.
Deception turned around to take a look, but then he saw a brick flying towards him. He immediately tilted his head and dodged the brick. But then, with a pu sound, he was stabbed by Han Yanrou's spear.
These two's' reactions are so fast!!
Deception exclaimed in surprise. His Underground Tunneling Technique had hit Han Yanrou. Any attack that hit a character would have some effect. Using this attack, Deception thought that Han Yanrou would be a bit slower. After that, he wasn't sure how much slower Han Yanrou was. In any case, in just a short while, the spear had already caught up with him. No matter how fast his movement speed was, it couldn't compare to the other party's hand. The advantage of the spear's attack range was a huge advantage.
Han Yanrou counterattacked with a Dragon's Teeth. His attack power was nothing to write home about, but he had a skill that forced him to be paralyzed. This short moment was enough for Han Yanrou and Baozi to invade and take Deception back under their control.
Helpless, Deception once again tangled with the two, trying to find an opportunity to escape. After going back and forth for a few rounds, he still couldn't find an opening. Just as he was in a terrible fix, he heard someone say: "You punk, you're pretty good at picking up scraps!"
Deception heard the voice and knew who it was, but he didn't have the time to look. Relying on his more battle experience than Tang Rou and Baozi, he finally found an opening that he could use. Right now, he had already started moving. How could he give up just to look at Lord Grim?
Deception's hands began to form a blur of hand seals. It was clearly a complicated high-level skill. Otherwise, there was no need for him to wait for an opening.
Ninjutsu: Shadow Dance!
Many shadow clones instantly scattered around Han Yanrou and Baozi. In reality, Tang Rou and Baozi hadn't experienced this high-level skill before. High-level skills required a lot of time to activate. Even someone like Deception needed to find an opening to successfully activate the skill. Normal players would need even more time to activate the skill. Tang Rou and Baozi had an overwhelming advantage against normal players. Very few people had the opportunity to use this high-level skill against them.
As a result, the two of them knew about this skill, but they didn't have much experience dealing with it. Now that they were up against an expert like Deception, the two of them had no idea what to do when faced with several shadow clones jumping around. Even though the shadow clones didn't cause too much trouble for the two, the two weren't able to control all of the shadow clones at the same time.
A Blade Master's Shadow Steps could create afterimages, but shadow clones didn't. If they wanted to catch Deception, they would have to either control or kill all of the shadow clones.
Deception obviously didn't use this skill to continue fighting. He only used it to find an opening to escape. The shadow clones simply greeted Han Yanrou and Baozi and then rushed out of the palace.
Tang Rou and Baozi did their best, but they could only deal with one shadow clone each. However, the moment the two shadow clones were engaged, Deception's real body wouldn't be able to deal with them.
The other shadow clones could only escape outwards. Shadow Dance's control had a certain range, so the shadow clones couldn't escape in different directions. This way, it was easier to control them. Deception had enough time to control two shadow clones to restrict Han Yanrou and Baozi.
At this moment, Deception finally took a look at the situation. Sure enough, Lord Grim had already arrived in front of him. There were even some players from Heavenly Justice who were faster than him. But in any case, no one was closer to him than Han Yanrou and Baozi. After restricting these two, Deception felt like it wouldn't be too difficult to escape. The one he needed to pay more attention to was still Lord Grim. He wouldn't do something again, right? Should he harass this shadow clone for a bit?
Deception was still thinking about this question, when the shadow clone suddenly moved to the side. Han Yanrou clearly hadn't attacked it. While he was distracted, the shadow clone was quickly pulled away before it could even move.
"Not good!!"
Deception suddenly understood what was going on. He immediately tried to control the shadow clones, but the shadow clones that had already run out of Darkness Palace suddenly dissipated like smoke. He was now in the hands of a Qi Master.
Qi Master skill: Cloud Grasping Fist.
Deception obviously knew about this skill, but he didn't think that the other side would use such a method to break his Shadow Dance.
There were only two shadow clones left. One had been caught by the Qi Master and thrown into the crowd. The other had been killed by Baozi in the blink of an eye. By default, the shadow clone in the crowd was restored to Deception's normal state.
"Ha ha, what are you just staring at me for? Aren't you looking down on all of us? "Lord Grim's cheerful voice floated over.
Deception was depressed!
Indeed, he cared too much about Lord Grim. In his eyes, he only cared about peak experts like him. Even though the two players with broken equipment at the entrance had surprised him, he still didn't put the other Heavenly Justice players in his eyes. And now, the one who had caught him with a Cloud Grasping Fist was an extremely normal Heavenly Justice player. The only reason he was able to accomplish this feat was because he was a Qi Master and had the Cloud Grasping Fist skill.
Deception even dared to say that the reason he was able to use Cloud Grasping Fist to pull his shadow clone back wasn't because he had made a conscious decision. It might have just been a coincidence, or … …
"Not bad … …" Deception heard this. Lord Grim walked over and said to the Qi Master.
As expected!
Deception knew that he had fallen into this guy's hands in the end.
For the Shadow Dance skill, in theory, none of the shadow clones were the real body. However, because the shadow clones had to be controlled within a certain range, there had to be a benchmark to determine the range. And this benchmark was the player's view of the shadow clone.
Even if this shadow clone was killed, it would only reduce the number of shadow clones by one. Even if the player didn't have a choice, the system would automatically throw the player to a certain shadow clone to continue their view. And this shadow clone would become a new benchmark.
This benchmark shadow clone was called the Heart of a Shadow Dance. It wasn't the real body, so the player could freely switch between them.
And just then, Ye Xiu had determined that Deception was using the shadow clone he had fought with Han Yanrou as the Heart of a Shadow Dance. As a result, he secretly ordered a Qi Master to use a Cloud Grasping Fist to pull him over. By the time Deception realized it, it was already too late. The shadow clones that had rushed out of the Darkness Palace immediately disappeared because they were too far away from the Heart of a Shadow Dance.
