The instant Yan Tianxing activated Stealth and disappeared, Zhao Yueru summoned the Lord ranked Frostflame Cheetah beside her. She then double-speed-cast.
Tier 1 Spell, Inferno Orb!
Tier 1 Spell, Rain of Flames!
Both of these Skills had a relatively large AOE, making them the best Skills to detect an Assassin.
As long as an Assassin revealed himself, his combat power would decrease by half. The Assassin class's most powerful aspect was its ability to assassinate, especially its initial attack. Compared to Berserkers and Swordsmen, the Assassin class was significantly weaker.
In the next moment, streaks of flames swept towards Yan Tianxing's location, transforming the arena into a sea of flames.
However, the two Skills did not reveal Yan Tianxing's presence. Yan Tianxing remained as silent as ever. It was as if he had never existed on the stage.
"The Flame Witch is already very fast, yet Yan Tianxing hasn't revealed himself. Just how fast is he?!"
"As expected of the second-ranked Assassin class. His stealth technique is amazing. I clearly saw him disappear, yet I can't even detect his aura."
"That's nothing. I activated Enhanced Five Senses when Yan Tianxing disappeared, yet I failed to detect him."
The contestants below the stage looked at the sea of flames on the stage and were all secretly shocked.
The instant Zhao Yueru announced the start of the match, she had double-speed-cast. Even though she had only used a little over a second, her two AOE Skills had failed to locate Yan Tianxing.
What surprised the spectating players even more was Yan Tianxing's stealth technique.
There was no difference between the stage and the stage. The only difference was that the attacks from the stage couldn't penetrate the magic barrier set up by the stage. Similarly, Observation and Perception Skills weren't affected by the barrier.
However, even after activating their Observation and Perception Skills, many players failed to detect Yan Tianxing's disappearance. This was the first time they had encountered such a situation. After all, Observation and Perception Skills were specifically used to detect Stealth Skills.
At this moment, Zhao Yueru had activated her Perception Skill. She could easily detect any stealthed player within a 40-yard radius.
Unlike other classes, if a stealthed Assassin successfully ambushed a magical class player, they would die instantly. Only plate armor classes with high HP and Defense could survive an Assassin's first round of attacks.
Hence, she couldn't allow Yan Tianxing to get close to her.
"A futile struggle." Yi Luofei, who was below the stage, looked at Zhao Yueru with a faint smile.
The True Orb Yan Tianxing had obtained could increase the strength of his Assassin class by an entire rank. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to challenge Netherlight, the Black Dragon Empire's number one Assassin. Netherlight was an existence that even the super-first-rate Guild, Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, was helpless against.
Meanwhile, the Truth Orb increased the effectiveness of Stealth-type Skills by 100% and halved the effectiveness of Perception Skills. Originally, players would be able to detect a Skill from 40 yards away. Now, players would only be able to detect a Skill from 20 yards away.
Although the distance between them was only 20 yards, this was a matter of life and death. An Assassin could use Shadow Steps to close in and launch a sneak attack.
On the stage, Yan Tianxing stealthily circled to within 25 yards of Zhao Yueru, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Although Shadow Steps allowed him to instantly appear behind Zhao Yueru, Zhao Yueru was an Elementalist. As long as she reacted quickly enough, she could instantly activate Blink or Invulnerability to deal with an ambush. Hence, he had to find a blind spot to attack Zhao Yueru, preventing her from reacting.
However, Zhao Yueru was no noob. Every player had their own weaknesses and blind spots, especially their backs. Hence, she had the Frostfire Cheetah stay behind her. Not only could the Frostfire Cheetah block Yan Tianxing's vision, but it could also launch a powerful counterattack if Yan Tianxing tried to attack or Fainted her.
For a time, Zhao Yueru stood alone in the center of the stage, bombarding her opponents with Tier 0 Skills. It was as if she were fighting the air.
Meanwhile, Yan Tianxing circled Zhao Yueru, searching for an opportunity to strike.
After another three minutes, Yan Tianxing had to admire Zhao Yueru. She didn't give him any openings, especially when the Frostfire Cheetah was a Lord ranked monster.
It seems I'll have to use that move. Yan Tianxing smiled bitterly when he saw Zhao Yueru's flawless defense.
Following which, Yan Tianxing split into two identical copies of himself. Whether it was in terms of Basic Attributes or appearance, it was impossible to tell which was the real Yan Tianxing. Moreover, both copies were in stealth mode.
This move was none other than the Truth Orb's Skill, True Phantom. When activated, the Orb would summon an identical doppelganger. This doppelganger would have 100% of the player's Attributes and all of the Skills the player had learned. The doppelganger would be the same as the player, regardless of whether it was the main body or the doppelganger.
Once Yan Tianxing used this move, a one-on-one fight would become a two-on-one. Moreover, the two of them were peak experts, and their coordination was flawless. Not even a Domain Realm expert would be a match for them. After all, both doppelganger were players. Their combat power wasn't as simple as one plus one.
Of course, controlling two doppelganger was extremely difficult. Even ordinary experts would barely be able to do so. Only a Void Realm expert like Yan Tianxing could achieve perfect control.
After Yan Tianxing used the Truth Orb, Zhao Yueru stopped bombarding the stage with Spells. Instead, she took a deep breath and surveyed her surroundings.
"Since you don't want to come out, I'll force you out!" Zhao Yueru said as she swung Frostflame's Wrath.
Suddenly, with Zhao Yueru at the center, a translucent barrier spread out, covering a radius of 100 yards in the blink of an eye and enveloping over half of the stage.
This move was Frostflame's Wrath's second Skill, Frostflame Space. When activated, Frostflame Space could create a world of its own.
Yan Tianxing felt his Attributes plummet. In the end, he only had 70% of his Attributes remaining. In contrast, Zhao Yueru's aura grew stronger.
"How is this possible?!" Yi Luofei was stunned when she saw Zhao Yueru.
At this time, two more Zhao Yueru appeared on the stage. One wore flame-colored robes, while the other wore ice-blue robes. Both doppelgangers had the same Basic Attributes as the real Zhao Yueru. Both doppelgangers radiated a frightening aura.
"Die!"
Yan Tianxing knew that the situation had taken a turn for the worse. If Zhao Yueru and her doppelgangers bombarded the stage, he would be forced to reveal himself. Immediately, Yan Tianxing used Shadow Steps and appeared behind Zhao Yueru. He then brandished his daggers and sent two dazzling streaks of silver light toward the back of Zhao Yueru's head and heart. Not only were his attacks silent, but they also didn't contain any killing intent.
So fast! Although Zhao Yueru had fully activated her five senses, she hadn't noticed Yan Tianxing's attack until he had appeared and swung his daggers.
However, when the daggers were one inch away from Zhao Yueru, Zhao Yueru vanished and reappeared 15 yards away, dodging Yan Tianxing's ambush in the nick of time.
That was close! Zhao Yueru breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yan Tianxing reappear. If this weren't a competition and she hadn't been on high alert, she would've long since died.
However, as soon as Zhao Yueru relaxed, another Yan Tianxing appeared behind her.
Tier 1 Taboo Skill, Shadow Blade!
Suddenly, Yan Tianxing vanished. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Zhao Yueru. Before Zhao Yueru knew it, six black shadows had appeared above her chest, each dealing over -30,000 damage. In the blink of an eye, Zhao Yueru's 80,000 HP fell to zero.
"How frightening!" The spectators were stupefied when they saw Yan Tianxing kill Zhao Yueru instantly.
Who could possibly survive such an assassination?
