The bowstring was released with a bang, but the archer's wrist was suddenly lifted by someone. The archer was caught off guard, and watched as the arrow deviated from the trajectory he expected, and streaked across the sky to kill a bird …
"What?" Imperial Shenming turned his head in surprise to look at Young Master Han who had lifted his wrist.
"There's no need," Young Master Han said calmly.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Brother You and Zhan Wushang were anxious! Although this distance was not so far that they could not see anything, compared to Young Master Han's binoculars and Imperial Shenming's eagle eye, the two reckoned that they must have missed some important details.
"Sword Ghost was defeated, I was just about to make a move …" Imperial Shenming said. Obviously, the arrow just now was his attempt to save Sword Ghost, but was foiled by Young Master Han.
Zhan Wushang and Brother You also looked at Young Master Han in confusion. He was the one who privately messaged the three of them after leaving the tavern, saying that he was certain that the other party's attacks would follow.
"From the fact that he found a bunch of extras to bluff, it's clear that he does not have the strength to directly suppress us. Therefore, if he wants to make a move, he can only take us down one by one when we're alone. " Young Master Han said, "But it's not in line with my principles to be manipulated by others. It's his business to come, but it won't be so easy for him to leave so easily."
"You think that the first person they'll look for is Sword Ghost?" The four of them met, but Sword Ghost was missing. Brother You could roughly guess Young Master Han's plan: Sword Ghost would be the bait, and the other four would follow in secret. Moreover, Sword Ghost most likely did not know about this plan, otherwise he could have said it in person or in the channel, but he used a private message, clearly to avoid Sword Ghost.
"That's right." Young Master Han nodded.
"Why?" The three were puzzled.
"Because the first person they followed was Sword Ghost," Young Master Han said.
"How do you know?"
"I've asked everyone in the tavern about the time they were found, and I've checked with the time we arrived at the tavern. When Sword Ghost arrived at the tavern, but before Brother You arrived, someone was already found. Without a doubt, they were tailing Sword Ghost. When Sword Ghost arrived first, they already knew this was our meeting place," Mr. Han said.
The three of them came to a sudden realization. Previously, when Young Master Han had asked those extras questions, he had indeed asked questions like "roughly what time". Everyone had been standing at the side, but they had not expected that they would be able to use this method to easily see who was being followed.
"Well, even if the Sword Ghost was tailed last time, it doesn't have anything to do with them attacking the Sword Ghost this time, right?" Brother You said.
"Of course not. The problem lies in the fact that the Sword Ghost resurrected at the Thieves' Guild after his death. He paid special attention to the possibility of someone ambushing him outside the resurrection point or following him in the dark. In the end, he didn't find anything," Mr. Han said.
"So?"
"Therefore, the other party might have some special means to know the Sword Ghost's coordinates without even having to track it," said the young master of the Han Family.
"There's such a thing?" Brother You said.
"With such a person as his opponent, it wouldn't be strange if he could get his hands on some strange tools that we don't know about, right?" Mr. Han Family said.
"Isn't this too much? Using such means to deal with players? "Everyone was indignant.
"Therefore, there's no balance in this world to begin with. He keeps saying that he wants to maintain balance, but he uses such imbalanced means. What a joke," Mr. Han Family said. "But then again, even if he's using some kind of balanced means, he's just a ridiculous idealist. He's still a joke."
"Anyway, he's a joke no matter what!" The three of them were used to it. In a nutshell, they were all people that were looked down upon. It was hard to be a person, and it was even harder to not be looked down upon by Mr. Han Family.
"What balance? It's a joke to even think about that. Hey, you three, were you complaining about his means just now? Don't tell me you're also trying to pursue balance? "Mr. Han Family turned to look at the three of them.
"What's going on? We were just having a good conversation, why are we being targeted again?!" The three of them were indignant. Look, they were being looked down upon again.
"Cut the crap, what happened to Sword Ghost?" Brother You changed the topic.
"He's just an opponent, we don't need to worry at all," Mr. Han Family said.
"But …" Imperial Shenming saw very clearly that Sword Ghost was at a disadvantage and had already been pushed down. In the end, he didn't even have the chance to say 'but', because Mr. Han Family had already elegantly jumped off the roof.
"Where are you going?" The three of them hurriedly asked.
"There's no more wine," he replied and left, leaving the three of them looking at each other in dismay.
"Is he really fine?" The Han Family Young Master's judgement was rarely wrong, but Imperial Heaven Shen Ming was still worried, and continued to observe carefully with his eagle eyes.
On the street, Sword Ghost who had been kicked had already stood up.
"You don't even know how to cancel a skill?" This was Apple Vinegar's mockery towards him. Sword Ghost could only silently endure it, because at that moment, he had indeed neglected it.
Phantom Steps was indeed a movement skill that allowed him to circle behind someone, but it wasn't like teleportation where he could reach his target in one go. If he could accurately grasp the timing and movement speed, he could cancel the skill at the most crucial moment and naturally stay at the desired position.
Just like what Apple Vinegar had done, he had just moved to Sword Ghost's side and was about to step behind Sword Ghost when he cancelled the skill. Obviously, this maneuver was also very risky, because Sword Ghost, who was leaning against the wall, didn't have a back. If he hadn't cancelled the skill at that moment, in theory, he would have crashed into the wall.
High risk naturally came with high reward. If Apple Vinegar hadn't kicked him and had used a knife instead, in addition to that sneak attack, Sword Ghost would have been dead by now.
But Apple Vinegar didn't do that, and Sword Ghost knew very well that this was because Apple Vinegar had already lost respect for him. In Apple Vinegar's eyes, he was no longer an opponent. He was just a melon that could be easily defeated with a few kicks and slashes.
Had he fallen to such a state?
Why did he have to be so bored and envious of Thousand Miles and the others' skills?
He didn't have that kind of abnormal skills, but he should have his own way of fighting. Even if he was defeated and his level dropped, he should never lose the opponent's respect for him.
Sword Ghost took a deep breath and straightened his body. This time, he wasn't in a hurry to stick his back to the wall.
"Don't be so careless," Apple Vinegar said. "My Phantom Steps can be used twice in a row. Do you think it's on cooldown just because you've just used it?"
"It's not good for you to stand like this, right? My Misty Strike hasn't been used yet, it's not on cooldown either, "Sword Ghost said.
Apple Vinegar's expression changed slightly. He didn't say anything else and immediately lowered his center of gravity.
He actually didn't refute and did it immediately … Sword Ghost looked at Apple Vinegar's actions. This gave him at least one piece of information: if he really used Misty Strike when Apple Vinegar was defenseless, he definitely wouldn't be able to dodge it.
Apple Vinegar was very sure of this, so he had no choice but to stick to this position.
He knew that this position was very ugly, so he wouldn't continue to waste time like this. He would quickly make his move!
A shadow flashed!
He moved! This thought flashed through Sword Ghost's mind, but he didn't have the slightest intention of catching Apple Vinegar's figure. He only did one thing: he quickly stretched out his arms and crouched down.
His left arm was hit!
Sword Ghost had already expected this. He didn't dodge or retreat at all. Instead, he swung his arm forward with all his might while his right hand chased after Apple Vinegar with all his might.
Just like that, a figure collapsed beside him with a shocked and incredulous expression on his face. Sword Ghost wasn't prepared to give him a chance to stand up again. He swung the dagger in his left hand, turned the ground, and followed up with another slash with his right hand.
There was no skill, no elegant posture. It was a person who was already lying on the ground. Sword Ghost alternated between his left and right hand, slashing at his back again and again. He suddenly felt that what he was doing was really cruel and perverted. This didn't seem like a PK in a game, but more like a butcher's murder …
Fortunately, the situation didn't make things too difficult for Sword Ghost. After a few more slashes, Apple Vinegar couldn't take it anymore. A white light disappeared, and the ground was clean without a trace of blood.
Sword Ghost let out a long sigh and fell to the ground on his butt.
He had finally found a way to deal with Shadow Footwork in his own way.
Opening his arms would undoubtedly increase the radius of the opponent's skill and buy him more time to react.
However, when Sword Ghost suddenly opened his arms, the opponent was caught off guard. The high-speed movement of Shadow Footwork caught him off guard.
Perhaps Apple Vinegar had thought of canceling the skill the moment he saw Sword Ghost open his arms and circled around his arm. Unfortunately, his movement was too fast. By the time he thought of that and was ready to take the next step, he had already crashed into Sword Ghost's arm.
Phantom Footwork was just a movement skill. It wasn't a Charge or a Foggy Ambush, so it didn't have much destructive power. For the Sword Demon, who was already prepared, it was only natural for him to trip him.
"But it was still a close call!" Sword Ghost thought. If they were a little further apart, with Apple Vinegar's skillful control, he might have had time to cancel or circle around the skill. If they were a little closer, Apple Vinegar might have already circled behind him when he opened his arms, and he would be the one who turned into a white light and disappeared.
Imperial Shenming, who was on the rooftop far away, was speechless with his mouth wide open.
"Sword Ghost seems to have killed that guy." Brother You and Zhan Wushang asked doubtfully.
Imperial Heaven Divine Ming nodded his head with a wooden expression.
"How did he do it? Didn't you say that he had already killed Sword Ghost? "
"This time, it was the Sword Ghost that defeated the opponent, but the difference was that the Sword Ghost immediately chased after the opponent and stabbed him in the back multiple times, killing him …" As Imperial Sky Divine Ming spoke, the scene of a person holding a sharp blade appeared in the minds of the three of them, pressing another person to the ground and stabbing him in the back, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere.
"That's terrifying …" The three of them shuddered. "So violent and cruel. Is it because he's been hanging out with Thousand Miles recently …"
