'Alright, I hope you won't regret this.'
Right now, Anderson was really holding his breath. He knew that it would be very, very difficult for him to defeat Fang Xingjian. However, since Fang Xingjian was being so arrogant, he might still stand a chance.
'Even if I can't win you, I'll still give you a good beating so that you'll remember me.'
Anderson's figure flashed, and he hid in the shadows at the side.
The Shadow Death God had the ability to turn into shadows and leap from shadows. Right now, the entire arena had been turned into a stone forest by Fang Xingjian's stomp. There were shadows everywhere, and it was perfect for him to unleash his abilities.
In that instant, Anderson's silhouette merged into the darkness, completely disappearing. Meanwhile, the shadows in the stone forest started to sway and tremble incessantly, as if there were countless wild beasts hiding in the shadows, waiting to break out of their cages.
However, Fang Xingjian was blind. Other than being able to 'see' with his Heaven's Perception within a ten-meter radius, he was unable to sense the changes in the shadows beyond that range.
However, there was no need for him to sense them. As long as the other party's attacks were within ten meters of him, he would be the one in control of the other party's life and death.
Right before this calm before the storm, three flying daggers shot out from the shadows behind Fang Xingjian. Each of the flying daggers tore through the air, releasing sharp whistling sounds as they broke through the speed of sound.
These were all flying daggers that Anderson had thrown out with his bare hands. This was also the first time he had displayed his flying dagger skills in the Regional Selection. To think that he could make the flying daggers surpass the speed of sound just by throwing them with his bare hands … This skill alone would probably be able to wipe out a large number of Knights.
However, when used against Fang Xingjian, it was far from sufficient.
Sword light flashed, and the three flying daggers were all fended off. However, this was only the beginning. After the three flying daggers were fended off, as Fang Xingjian's body turned, another three flying daggers shot out from the shadows behind him.
Then another three, three, three … Countless flying daggers shot out from the shadows in all directions. The farthest ones were over ten meters away, while the nearer ones were within one meter. Several tens of flying daggers shot out explosively at the same time, almost compressing every inch of space around Fang Xingjian.
'Trying to distract me with flying daggers and then find an opportunity to attack?'
As Fang Xingjian's thoughts ran through his mind, the longsword in his hand did not stop. It was as if he was juggling, easily fending off all the flying daggers that had shot out from the shadows.
However, just as he was fending off the last flying dagger, Anderson darted out from the shadows behind Fang Xingjian. All the power in his body was gathered on one spot.
The Killing technique, Sun Piercer, was activated. Together with Ying Ya's spiralling force, Anderson seemed to have turned into an extremely huge drill, piercing out toward Fang Xingjian.
Fang Fang Fang Fang Xingjian had to know. he had it. Fang'T. Fang, he, Fang Xingjian ','ve had't.
It was because Anderson's Shadow Death God's overall growth rate was the best amongst those who had gone through the first transition, and its strength attribute far surpassed that of Fang Xingjian's. Therefore, unless Fang Xingjian were to use Terra Ingurgitation or counter Anderson's attacks as they came, Fang Xingjian would not be able to receive Anderson's attacks head-on.
However, the moment he retreated, he discovered a problem. It was because no matter how fast he retreated, Anderson would be able to catch up.
It was because Anderson had come out from his shadow. As long as he retreated, his shadow would retreat as well. Anderson would be brought along with him. No matter how fast he retreated, it would be impossible for him to be faster than his shadow.
Just as these thoughts flashed through Fang Xingjian's mind, the huge drill was already over ten centimeters away from him. The turbulent air currents blew against his face and body, as if they were wind blades, wanting to cut through his skin and flesh.
'If I were to use Terra Ingurgitation, I'd naturally be able to crush Anderson easily.'
However, Fang Xingjian could only use Terra Ingurgitation once per hour. The next time he used it was to prepare for Hoult.
Therefore, he could only take it head-on or attack Anderson, causing both of them to be injured.
When Anderson made his move this time around, Fang Xingjian had already taken this into consideration. He was putting his life on the line.
Faced with Anderson, who was getting closer and closer, the longsword in Fang Xingjian's hand changed slightly, and spots of light started to be activated.
The Killing technique, Luminous Heaven Soaring Slash, was activated. Streams of light shot out from Fang Xingjian's longsword, changing the direction of the shadow.
With a loud boom, the shadow was instantly elongated and shifted. Anderson, who was on top of the shadow, was shifted six meters away, knocking his head against a huge stone wall.
Before Anderson's Shadow Teeth, the stone wall instantly shattered into pieces, as if it was easily torn apart like tofu.
Anderson came to an abrupt halt, looking at the light flashing on Fang Xingjian's longsword. His expression was a little gloomy.
Other than being able to move stealthily, the most powerful thing about transforming into shadows and leaping through them was that they were like maggots in one's bones. No matter what target they set their eyes on, it would be hard for the other party to escape.
It was because shadows were formed from light that they could appear and disappear at the speed of light. No one could be faster than their own shadow.
However, it was also because shadows were formed from light that Anderson hated to meet an opponent who could emit light the most.
'How troublesome.'
Before this, Fang Xingjian had never displayed sword arts that could emit light.
At the next moment, streams of sword Qis shot out. Anderson had already turned into a shadow, once again merging into the darkness.
However, after seeing Anderson merge into the shadow, Fang Xingjian did not panic. He continued to sweep his longsword, slashing out streams of sword Qis one after another. The streams of sword Qis were like atmospheric dragons, circling around him incessantly. They even continued to spread out from the ten-meter radius to the entire arena.
'What is he trying to do?'
'Ordinary sword Qis shouldn't be able to hurt Anderson who's in the shadows, right?'
Just as everyone was feeling puzzled, Fang Xingjian once again released streams of light from all over his body. He was just like the legendary gods, and every inch of his skin was covered by white light.
The streams of light gushed into the sword Qis, reflected and scattered. In that instant, streams of light filled up the entire arena.
All of a sudden, only shadows existed within a ten-meter radius around Fang Xingjian. He had intentionally controlled the area. It was because he would not be able to see the shadows beyond a ten-meter radius, let alone control them.
Anderson cursed inwardly, 'B * stard! I can't even make use of the shadows on my body now.'
There were shadows on a human's body as well. This was especially so when the other party swung their weapons. There were also shadows below their necks, armpits, and palms, which were caused by their body structure. These were all places that the Shadow Death God liked to make use of.
If one were to stab out from the shadows below their armpits or the shadows below their necks, even if the other party was much stronger than them, they would still be seriously injured or even killed by a sneak attack.
However, not only could Fang Xingjian's sword technique release light, it could also reflect light. It was the Shadow Death God's greatest nemesis.
Concurrently, Fang Xingjian's voice rang out, "Aren't you going to make your move? There should be a limit to the amount of time you can stay in the shadows, right?"
Anderson's eyes narrowed. At the next moment, the shadows on the arena started to spread out. It was as if a drop of ink had fallen into water, turning the entire arena into a stretch of pure black.
