"Tianjing has sent up their mainstay assassin, Emily. She's a young lady from the assassin aristocratic family, Assassin! Although he's still young, it's said that he's already completed the Assassin Family's training for assassins. Furthermore, he had a rather outstanding performance in the previous qualifiers! " Ruo Zhi continued with his introduction. "During the match between Tianjing and Bella Dean, Emily did not participate in the match. Perhaps it was due to a tactical arrangement, or perhaps they wanted to keep her hidden. However, there's no doubt that she's definitely the mainstay of Tianjing Academy, other than Wang Zhong and Grai! This should be Tianjing's most powerful counterattack before All Mouthy King's match. Victory or defeat will be decided by this! We hope that she can give a miraculous performance! "
Indeed, the Assassin Family couldn't be considered much when compared to the Zhao Family. However, when placed in the hands of this mysterious black horse squadron, there was a certain amount of anticipation. Furthermore, who could guarantee that Emily wasn't a trump card!
A man walked out from the Divine Dragon Squadron's preparation area.
"The Divine Dragon Academy has also brought out a strange card. Up on stage is their mainstay ranged soldier, Zhao Zhancheng. A ranged soldier against an assassin. This time, the Divine Dragon squadron is preparing to slap their faces. Brother Zhi, do you think that the Divine Dragon Academy's proactively sending a ranged soldier against an assassin can be considered as a form of suppression?" said Wind God with a smile.
"Looks like Little Feng doesn't have a particularly good understanding of the Divine Dragon Academy," said Ruo Zhi with a faint smile. "Although Zhao Zhancheng is a ranged soldier, he was once an assassin, and has a rather deep understanding of assassins. At the same time, he possesses extremely tyrannical movement techniques. He's an extremely classic example of a successful job changer, and has considerable experience in dealing with assassins. In fact, he even had the nickname of 'assassin killer' back in the Divine Dragon Academy. Using him to deal with Tianjing's Emily will be a considerably targeted matchup. Naturally, an assassin would still have an advantage when fighting against a ranged soldier. Now, we'll just have to see how far Emily can display her abilities. "
Tianjing's hope.
Two fiery-red daggers appeared in Emily's hands.
This rune dagger was custom-made for her by Vice Headmaster Moore. Flame patterns could be clearly seen on the dagger.
Wang Zhong had once said that if one wanted to become a true assassin, one couldn't rely on external objects. Therefore, even though this pair of daggers had been given to her at the start of the semester, she had never used them, even during the most difficult period of her family's training.
And now, it was finally time for it to drink blood!
Victory? Or defeat? To welcome the light of hope, or to walk into the abyss of despair?
The entire stadium was rather quiet, with all of the Tianjing supporters staring nervously at the stage, be it in the stadium or via Skylink.
Both parties were already in position. Both of them had calm expressions on their faces, as if a storm was brewing. The fiery red dagger and the cold glint of the Wind Chasing Arrow illuminated the stage with a demonic glow!
Ding!
The match began!
In an instant, Emily disappeared from her original position!
Assassins versus ranged attackers. There were countless classic lessons. Unless the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, it would definitely be a contest of distance.
Emily's movement speed was astonishingly fast. Her instantaneous disappearance gave people a feeling that she was an S rank assassin, causing people's eyes to light up.
However, the movement trajectory that the big screen did not capture clearly could not be hidden from Zhao Zhancheng's senses.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh …
In the eyes of the general public, archery belonged to the category of long-range archers that had a long range, excellent trajectory, great power, and could control their Soul Power. However, this had absolutely nothing to do with speed.
Not only would one's drawing speed be slow, one's trajectory would also be slow. After all, it was a parabolic trajectory, which was different from a crossbow or a bullet from a hot weapon. It was extremely difficult to be fast.
However, Zhao Zhancheng's arrows had slightly subverted people's understanding. The movements of his fingers drawing the bow were simply astonishingly fast. More often than not, the bowstring had already been pulled back, and before the bowstring could even vibrate, the bowstring had already been pulled back. In an instant, ten arrows had been shot out!
The perfect barrage of arrows instantly blocked all of Emily's paths of advance.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Just a slight delay in her movements allowed Soul Power to circulate within the fiery red dagger. Being a specialized runic weapon, regardless of the Soul Power circuits or runic support, all of them were extremely handy. Unexpectedly, the arrows that had sealed off all of her paths of advance were all sent flying away.
Emily's momentum did not decrease. However, in the next instant, she released her bow and arrows, causing a barrage of arrows to fill the skies like a swarm of locusts, instantly enveloping her! At the same time, Zhao Zhancheng's feet started to move. Using a mysterious footwork, he rapidly circled around the arrows, his speed unexpectedly not one bit slower than Emily's!
In the next instant, the two of them were like shadows, while the arrows were like locusts. In an instant, a close-range battle that focused on sealing off the arrows had already entered a close-range battle!
Close-Range battles were the most worrying and easiest way to build up the emotions of the audience. Through the omniscient view, the distance between the two continued to jump continuously on the large screens.
The movements of the two were extremely quick, with the continuously jumping numbers hovering around the 50-metre warning line. Emily was unable to break through it, while Zhao Zhancheng's barrage of arrows was also unable to harm her.
Consumption, pressure. The two of them alternated between attacking, defending, and moving back and forth in a stalemate.
Silence filled the stadium and Skylink. Be it the Tianjing supporters or the Divine Dragon Academy supporters, everyone had forgotten about their clamour. Instead, they were focused on this fight that could determine the life and death of Tianjing.
It had to be said that there was a rather clear difference between the performances Emily had displayed and the other ordinary mainstays of Tianjing. It could be said that after her many years of accumulation had been stimulated, Emily was advancing by leaps and bounds every single day. One could feel the difference in her performance. Although Barran had won earlier, his victory had been very "unsophisticated" and emotional, and wasn't of a high standard. On the other hand, Emily could see the systematic training of her family.
However, it was precisely this sliver of hope that caused the hearts of the Tianjing supporters to rise to their throats.
In normal times, faced with such a close-range battle, everyone might have the mood to watch them slowly consume each other, or even enjoy it for a period of time. However, at this moment, the feeling of being on tenterhooks and on tenterhooks was truly driving people crazy.
"Emily's performance has caused people to gasp in admiration. Be it her strength in blocking the arrows, her eyesight, or her outstanding movements, all of them are indeed above the standard of her strength. She's been searching for an opportunity to close in, but it seems to be slightly difficult. Zhao Zhancheng's arrow blockade is too experienced. He's neither impatient nor forceful, and has instead followed the usual routine of blocking. However, this kind of foundation without any fancy tricks is precisely the hardest to deal with. Choosing to block head-on would definitely drag down the speed of her advance. However, if she chose to evade, she would definitely give up on the blockade of her opponent's movements. This gave Emily a considerable headache. Under the suppression of Zhao Zhancheng's arrows, her speed had been reduced by at least 30%. On the contrary, she felt that Zhao Zhancheng's movement speed was even faster than hers. It's already been over 2 minutes since the start of this match, yet the distance between the 2 has been hovering around 50 metres, with no way of closing it any further. Zhao Zhancheng is using the kiting tactics of a ranged soldier to the extreme! "
Just as Ruo Zhi's voice rang out, Emily's speed suddenly increased!
She had done research on the so-called "assassin killer" Zhao Zhancheng. Relying on his outstanding movement speed as an assassin, his long range, fast firing rate, as well as his strange and unpredictable parabolic trajectory, he had kited countless assassins to death. This self-confidence was an opportunity for her!
