On the other end of the Skylink, Tumo Assassin was also watching. Being the king of assassins, he was more able to understand little Emily's thoughts. It was absolutely impossible for her to win this duel. Nevertheless, Tumo wasn't disappointed, with a faint smile rippling across his face. Tumo had also experienced what Napier Mo had done. Meeting such an opponent was an exceptionally good opportunity for Emily. Now, it would depend on how much she could learn and comprehend. This was definitely a huge gift from Wang Zhong. The breadth of mind and breadth of mind of this young man had truly exceeded his imagination.
In reality, Tumo was overthinking this point. To Wang Zhong, this duel was a victory for all of Tianjing. He only hoped that Emily would be able to grow. As long as she had sufficient confidence, she would gain a lot even if she lost today. What she gained would be her future.
Whoosh!
At the instant the competition bell rang, Emily was the first to take action. The acceleration from her special ability caused her to appear just like a flaming hurricane. In the blink of an eye, she had already closed in on Napier Mo. Her super fast movement speed and swift attacks sparkled with a chilling glint, appearing extremely invasive. Compared to her, Napier Mo's movements appeared to be much slower. However, the problem was that even though his movements appeared to be 'slow', Emily was simply unable to keep up with his speed.
Every single one of his movements appeared to be slow. However, the distance he moved was always greater than Emily, who was sprinting at full speed. This wasn't because he wasn't fast, but because he had already entered another realm of assassins.
Shadow Dance!
The swaying and swaying basic footwork of a Shadow Dance was an upgraded variation that would cause one's opponent to be unable to control their movements, causing them to hallucinate. The chilling glint of Emily's daggers continued to flash in the air, creating brilliant sparks. However, not a single sound of collision could be heard, nor was she able to touch even the corner of her opponent's clothes.
Napier Mo didn't even need to take the initiative to take action. Just his swaying footwork was already enough to cause Emily to feel dizzy, causing her center of gravity to become unstable. A deep feeling of helplessness started to rise from the depths of her heart.
No, I can't beat him. He's too formidable! We're not on the same level! Should I admit defeat …
His heart, which he thought was already firm, was once again thrown into chaos by the powerful pressure. All kinds of distracting thoughts uncontrollably emerged in his mind. The most important thing for an assassin was concentration. Once distracting thoughts appeared in his mind, his movements would become even slower.
Emily's mindless dash forward was shaken by her opponent's shadow. Her center of gravity, which had already deviated due to the distracting thoughts in her mind, was unexpectedly unable to control it, causing her to fall to the ground with a thud.
This …
From the start to the end, Napier Mo had yet to take any action!
The clown had already reappeared a few meters away. He was feeling rather helpless. Frankly speaking, he did not feel like fighting at all. He had fainted after just a few steps. It was difficult for this little assassin girl in front of him to even arouse the slightest desire to fight in his heart.
He subconsciously wanted to help her up, but then he smacked his forehead. This is the final match …
Countless celebrity participants in the participant viewing gallery felt somewhat regretful. Although they were no longer part of the competition, the might of Heaven's Fate still made many people feel as though they were unable to breathe. There were also some who couldn't bear to watch on.
"Mo Wen's a little arrogant. In fact, Napier Mo can suppress him till the end."
"I think that they are preparing for the team battle. This is the final battle, and no one will give up easily. If both parties enter the team battle, a Napier in his peak condition will be the deciding factor."
"You're thinking a little too far ahead. What's more, do you think Napier Mo will be exhausted if he stays behind to deal with Scarlet?"
"I feel that Mo Wen's lineup is just a random one. It's just an assassin versus an assassin … in any case, as long as Mo Wen and Mo Ling remain to deal with Wang Zhong and Grai, it'll be fine. The rest is up to them."
"There are too many experts in the Celestial Pole."
There were only sighs in the participant viewing gallery, though quite a few roars of laughter had already rang out in the stadium. The majority of them were from the Heaven's Fate squadron, with some being Tianjing fans. There were many people who liked Tianjing, and there were also many people who had good impressions of the sweet and sweet-looking little loli, Emily. However, frankly speaking, there wasn't anyone that cared about her victory or defeat. The moment she stepped onto the stage, everyone knew that it was a trade. Other than Grai and Wang Zhong, everyone else would have to rely on the heavens to deal with Heaven's Fate.
"Ha ha. That little assassin from Tianjing is too lacking. It's only by following Wang Zhong and the others that they managed to enter the finals."
"Hey, little Ai. It's about time to admit defeat. Let's hurry up and start the grand 3rd duel!"
"Assassin … what a pity. If it's Yingmei Assassin, he might be able to wrestle with Napier Mo."
"Saint Mongols was eliminated by Stuart in the 1st duel. What's there to talk about?"
"Even he doesn't stand a chance. The so-called assassin family, the Assassin Family, is actually just so-so."
Emily slowly climbed up from the ground. The roars of laughter and jokes coming from her surroundings appeared somewhat ear-piercing. Indeed, Napier Mo's strength was clear for all to see. Regardless of how much she erupted, it would be extremely difficult for her to create any miracles.
However, the hard work she had put in along the way, as well as Luo's sacrifice, as well as the expectations he had for her before his death. Was all of this just for her to grovel and admit defeat in the face of a powerful opponent?
No!
Absolutely not!
She shouldn't have any distracting thoughts, nor should she be so petty and lowly. Since she had already lost so much face, what else was there to care about?
She was a willful little lass, and she was Emily!
Emily's back straightened, while the hesitation on her face disappeared. The cold indifference she had after returning from her family's special training, as well as the calmness that had gradually settled on the surface during the CHF, had disappeared in an instant.
Tidying up her clothes, she didn't reveal an appearance of being prepared to fight with her life on the line. Instead, a frown appeared on her face, while the most wronged expression of a little loli appeared on her face. "Senior Napier, how can you be so ruthless to a girl! You don't even give me a little bit of face! I'll cry!"
Ma Dong, who was originally feeling anxious, instantly opened his mouth wide, while his squadron members around him opened their eyes wide. Was this even possible? Acting cute in the arena?
This seemed to be Emily's previous state. However, only those who had an incomparably clear understanding of the various changes that had happened to Emily over the past 2 months could understand exactly what kind of transformation this little lass, who had suddenly started to act like a spoiled child, had undergone.
This, this, this, this, this, this was illogical! Where was that little Ai, who had returned from the group training with a face full of bitterness and hatred?
The audience in the arena instantly roared with laughter. If there wasn't any comparison, there wouldn't be any harm. They were unable to sense how different Emily was from her usual self. On the contrary, they felt that this was how a little loli should behave.
"That's how little girls should behave!"
"That clown nose guy, is it fun to bully little girls?"
"Give way to her!"
Napier Mo really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Was this considered as bullying a girl? He hadn't even taken any action! Facing such a cute little loli, giving way was something that should be done. However … he still had to win! This was the finals!
Naturally, since he was going to win, it would be good to leave some face for her. However, he hadn't even taken any action, yet he had already caused his opponent to fall. How could he leave any face for her?
Napier Mo stopped his swaying body. Wrinkling his clown nose, he propped his chin up with one hand, appearing rather conflicted.
This was definitely a question that tested his intelligence. However, just as Napier Mo stopped his footsteps, the flames had already started to sparkle. Emily knew that it was useless to rely on carelessness and pity. The Mo Family wouldn't be that naive, and Napier Mo wasn't that gullible.
However, she only needed a split second of distraction from her opponent to create an opportunity for her that might not have much meaning.
However, as long as it was an opportunity, it would be more than enough!
No one thought highly of her, just like how no one thought highly of Scarlet and Barran in the past. However, they had created a miracle. In an instant, the fire attribute special ability exploded out, instantly transforming into a wave of lotus flowers.
Countless sparks flew in all directions, shooting out in a berserk fashion like flying knives. Hidden within the centre of this fiery lotus flower, an even more exquisite and dazzling lotus flower blossomed. This was the Inner Outer Lotus Flower that Wang Zhong had used against Yingren. Although Emily might not be able to reach Wang Zhong's level in terms of combat techniques, she was able to achieve the same effect by relying on the power of her special ability.
Thousand Birds — Fiery Lotus Dance.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh ~ ~
Waves of fire danced chaotically. However, it was clear that such a sneak attack was within Napier Mo's expectations. Being able to come from the Mo Family, it was clear that there weren't any benevolent people. As for an attack like the Fiery Lotus Dance, it was basically nothing. Even with the addition of a fire attribute special ability to form an additional layer of lotus flowers, it was completely unable to pose any threat to him.
2 chilling glints flashed out, before a pair of daggers appeared in Napier Mo's hands. Just at this instant, the rotating blade edges, the stacking blade waves, the blossoming lotus flowers and the surging sea of fire instantly engulfed Napier Mo, causing the entire stage to feel as though it had been enveloped by a gigantic fiery lotus flower.
Ding ding ding ding …
The densely packed sounds of daggers clashing against each other formed a single line on the stage. As the fiery glow dissipated, the chilling glints disappeared. Emily's chest heaved up and down, while Napier Mo appeared to be extremely relaxed.
Silence filled the entire participant viewing gallery. To these star level experts, such a level of Fiery Lotus Dance wasn't anything much, even if it was a strengthened version of a special ability. However, the explosive attack of over 200 daggers had actually been completely dispelled by Napier Mo using the simplest of moves with his daggers. This superiority … was truly as great as the heavens! He could win even with his eyes closed!
The reputation of being the number one assassin absolutely wasn't undeserved!
Furthermore, not only was it fast, it was also extremely relaxed. This was the most frightening aspect of it all!
A peculiar radiance sparkled within Tumo's eyes as he stared tightly at the screen. In the past, even though Emily had experienced the most cruel and cruel training from her family, and even though Luo's sacrifice had brought about a change in her heart and soul, in reality, there wasn't any qualitative change in her. In the end, she was still a child. When she encountered hopeless situations, she would feel despair. When she encountered difficulties, she would feel helpless. When she encountered failure, she would find various kinds of excuses for herself and accept them willingly.
She believed that she was undergoing a qualitative change and settling down. However, in reality, that wasn't the intrinsic quality of an assassin. An assassin was different from any other occupation. All of the missions they took on would often exceed their own limits. If one was able to accept failure and only wanted to learn from their mistakes and settle down their heart and soul, an assassin like that would forever be unable to undergo a genuine transformation and improvement.
Only by meeting strong opponents, maintaining calm and absolute self-confidence in the face of hopeless situations, placing victory as their number one priority, and forgetting everything else for the sake of victory. Only then would one become a true assassin!
At this moment, Tumo could clearly feel that Emily's fighting spirit hadn't been destroyed by the storm-like counterattacks. On the contrary, it had become even more spirited.
Bang!
With a slight twist of her dagger, Emily's Lotus Dance rose once more. Although it was still extremely gorgeous, it was the same move that she had used against Napier Mo. What's more, the first time she had used it, it didn't pose any threat to Napier Mo at all.
Napier Mo found this matter to be laughable. Nevertheless, he didn't plan on continuing to tangle with her. Allowing his opponent to unleash a set of killing moves was already giving her enough face. This wasn't due to his soft-heartedness and the fact that his opponent was a girl. He also had to consider the current situation. This was the finals of the CHF. Not only did he have to win, he also had to display the Mo Family's prestige and dominance. Being too cruel to the weak would always incur the backlash of those so-called "peace-loving people".
The clown's nose twitched playfully.
Whoosh!
In Napier Mo's eyes, the blossoming Fiery Lotus Dance didn't have any beauty to speak of. Regardless of how many times it was unleashed, it would still be full of flaws. With a single look, he was able to see the gaps between his opponent's attacks.
The chilling glint suddenly increased in speed. With a single slash, the spinning Fiery Lotus Dance instantly came to a halt, as though it had been stuck in the gaps of a sawtooth gear.
However, Napier Mo's eyebrows twitched at the same time. The spinning Fiery Lotus Dance wasn't able to come into contact with his blade. Flames danced within Emily's eyes, before all of the Fiery Lotus Dance's petals disappeared. In their place, 2 chilling glints shot out with long flaming tails. With lightning speed, they shot towards Napier Mo's forehead.
The ingenious changes in her moves had already been calculated. Borrowing the momentum of Napier Mo's downwards charge, these 2 slashes would be unavoidable!
A trap.
The clown smiled. With a sway of his body, the feeling of weightlessness appeared once again. Clearly, the inertia of his downwards charge was instantly dispelled by his miraculous and natural footwork.
Just like an armoured train that was rushing at a speed of 100 km/h, not only did it come to a stop in an instant, it had even activated its reverse mode, turning its forward charge into a retreat!
An unfathomable Shadow Dance!
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. The 2 sure-hit slashes had missed, while Napier Mo had pulled away like a bolt of lightning. However, the 2 chilling glints continued to chase after him, accompanied by the rhythm and acceleration of the flames. This time, Emily had actually managed to keep up with him. A chilling glint instantly sparkled in front of her. That was the glint from Napier Mo's blade!
A cheeky smile appeared on the clown's face. While retreating, it was still a bait. However, in an instant, it had turned into a killing move.
This attack was unavoidable, as it was similar to making use of one's opponent's inertia. However, Emily's move to feign weakness had been so easily countered. The killing move that her opponent had casually laid out was a thousand times more dangerous than her meticulously planned trap!
This attack was definitely something that the usual Emily would not be able to evade. However, at this moment, Emily was already completely immersed in the fight, with no one around her. With a subconscious twist of her body, her fatal attack had actually been evaded! Emily seemed to have found a trick to this!
On the other side of the Skylink, Tumo's eyes turned biting cold. She's finally appeared! Chilling glints sparkled across the stage, appearing as though she had turned into a completely different person. As Napier Mo and Emily collided, the 4 daggers in their hands started to crazily attack each other in the blink of an eye.
Her pair of hazy eyes did not have any radiance to speak of, yet they gave off a strange feeling, causing people to be unable to see through them. Napier Mo, who had clearly been suppressing Emily, had unexpectedly managed to land his attacks one after another. Every time his dagger was about to pierce into her, Emily would always twist her body to evade it. She was just like … a snake, slippery and slippery!
The reason why the Assassin Family was able to become one of the 2 great assassin families was due to the fact that they were different from the Brooks Family in terms of hand techniques. Instead, they were famous for their footwork, a footwork that was comparable to that of a Shadow Dance — Snake Dance!
However, this footwork required twice the effort for half the results for males. Only females were able to truly master it! However, ever since the dark era, the Assassin Family had always been flourishing in males and declining in females. Without any outstanding female rulers, the Snake Dance was on the verge of disappearing. Even the King of Assassins, Tumo Assassin, was unable to master it. Occasionally, there would be some outstanding females that would appear in the history of the Assassin Family, but they would always meet with mishaps. An example would be Ma Dong's mother. She was once highly valued by the Assassin Family, and possessed a similar talent. However, due to her marriage to a butler, she had lost the motivation and opportunity to continue cultivating. This was also one of the reasons why the Assassin Family didn't like Ma Dong and his family.
Perhaps, this was fate, and the reason why they had always been suppressed by Brooks, leading to the gradual decline of the entire family. However, at this very moment, this curse of fate seemed to be about to be broken. No, it had already been broken!
At the very beginning, it was just a subconscious burst of thought, and the recovery of memories. However, as it became a habit and the continuation of her thoughts, Emily grew more and more proficient with it. Nevertheless, she still appeared to be unconscious.
Was it an accidental eruption? No, there were no accidents in this world.
