How is she so strong? Xuan Cang was stunned as he stared at Cleansing Whistle.
He was a Berserker famed for his Strength. Moreover, he had already reached Tier 2. He was confident that he could suppress a Tier 2 Shield Warrior or Guardian Knight with his Strength.
However, Cleansing Whistle was merely a Swordsman.
Yet, after a brief exchange, he was no match for her …
Before Xuan Cang could recover from his momentary shock, Cleansing Whistle launched another attack.
Wind Blade!
In the blink of an eye, Cleansing Whistle appeared before Xuan Cang, who was over a dozen yards away. The two swords in her hands twisted like whips, yet they were also as agile as living creatures. In the next moment, over a dozen snake phantoms pounced on Xuan Cang.
Combat technique, Serpent Shadow!
These snake shadows that filled the sky were intertwined and messy, completely overwhelming the opponent. Moreover, the attack trajectories were even more complicated and varied. It was completely unlike a normal attack, which was straight and without any changes in the middle. These snake shadows were almost constantly changing. Even if one had already grasped the attack trajectories in the previous second, the attack trajectories would change in the next second, making the original parry completely useless.
Although Cleansing Whistle couldn't manipulate all dozen snake phantoms to change their trajectories at will, she could still manipulate four of them, making it difficult to predict their attack trajectories.
When the dozen or so snake phantoms attacked Xuan Cang, Xuan Cang's expression turned grim.
Even he couldn't fully control the snake phantoms' attacks. He could only use his trump card, Indiscriminate Slash, to counter the attacks. He didn't dare engage in a melee battle.
Dang … Dang … Dang …
A series of collisions echoed throughout the battlefield.
Even though Vast Xuan was able to unleash more than twenty Chaotic Energy Slashes at once, and his power was even stronger than before, both of them couldn't help but take two or three steps back after one strike.
"How is this possible?"
Hekati's members, who watched the battle from a distance, gaped in shock.
Everyone present was an elite and expert of Hekati. Although it seemed as if Cleansing Whistle and Xuan Cang were evenly matched, they knew that in reality, Xuan Cang was at a disadvantage.
After all, Indiscriminate Slash was a Berserker's Sure-kill Skill.
If Cleansing Whistle and Cleansing Whistle fought to a draw after using a Sure-kill Skill, the outcome was obvious.
Hekati's members couldn't help but feel an indescribable fear as they looked at Cleansing Whistle.
Xuan Cang was a bona fide Tier 2 Berserker. His combat standards definitely ranked among the top of Hekati's top ranked experts, yet, the Berserker was suppressed by a country bumpkin adventurer team.
If Hecate's other experts found out about this, they'd most likely think that they were joking.
Cleansing Whistle's's members, Xuan Cang, Cleansing and Whistle's and Cleansing Cleansing, Cleansing.
How could Cleansing Whistle be so powerful?
How is this possible?!? I, Xuan Cang at Cang? Cang Cang! Faced with Cleansing Whistle, Xuan Cang no longer looked as calm as before. Instead, he felt the threat of death looming over him. Isn't she the sixth-strongest player in Cold Wind City? How can her Basic Attributes and combat standards be so high?!
Meanwhile, Asura's members, who stood a short distance away, were stupefied by this scene.
How is Cleansing Whistle so strong?! Feng Ran stared at Cleansing Whistle, who had suppressed Xuan Cang effortlessly. He simply couldn't believe his eyes.
He was very familiar with Cleansing Whistle's strength. Although she was slightly stronger than him, the difference was very limited. However, the current Cleansing Whistle was a completely different person from the Cleansing Whistle he knew.
"Cleansing Whistle's mastery of Shadow Snake is still too shallow. If she had fully grasped it, that attack would've taken away half of Xuan Cang's HP," Lifeless Thorn commented nonchalantly.
Solitary Nine and the others nodded in agreement with Lifeless Thorn's words.
Cleansing Whistle currently wore the Level 50 Fine-Gold ranked Magic Light Set Equipment. She also wielded a Level 50 Fine-Gold longsword and a Level 50 Growth-type Epic ranked longsword. Compared to Xuan Cang, who only wore Level 50 Secret-Silver Equipment, she was on a whole different level. Suppressing Xuan Cang in a head-on confrontation was nothing out of the ordinary.
Moreover, after leaving the Ice Crystal World, Cleansing Whistle had accompanied them on their journey to challenge the continent of God's Domain's various great experts. In addition, the training conditions provided by the Ling YI Society had allowed Cleansing Whistle, who had been very close to reaching the Half-step Refinement Realm, to reach the Refinement Realm standard. Now, she was only slightly weaker than Xuan Cang, who had long since reached the Refinement Realm.
However, her advantage in Attributes was more than enough to make up for this small difference.
As for the Shadow Snake combat technique, it was one of the few combat techniques they had obtained from the Primordial Divine Ruin. Although it was only a Basic Combat Technique, its power was definitely at the peak of Basic Combat Techniques. To strengthen their members, Shifeng had allowed them to learn the Shadow Snake combat technique using the Guild's GCPs.
If Cleansing Whistle could fully grasp the Shadow Snake combat technique, in addition to her powerful Attributes, it wouldn't be impossible for her to take away half of Xuan Cang's HP in one hit.
"She took away half of Xuan Cang's HP in one hit?" When Feng Ran saw that Solitary Nine and the others agreed with Lifeless Thorn's assessment, he wondered if he was hallucinating.
This was Xuan Cang they were talking about. He was a great expert who had single-handedly killed hundreds of experts from the Centurion Dynasty. In the end, he had even slain Sky Slicer!
Yet, in the eyes of Lifeless Thorn and the others, such an expert was no different from a player they could find on the street …
While everyone was shocked by Cleansing Whistle's display of strength, after she stabilized her footing, she changed her footwork once more, transforming into multiple afterimages. In the blink of an eye, it was as if she had split into four or five people as she charged at Xuan Cang simultaneously.
Combat technique, Afterimage Steps!
Afterimage Steps was also a combat technique obtained from the Primordial Divine Ruin. Through special movement patterns and aura changes, one could confuse their enemies and prevent them from making the correct judgment. Afterward, players could seize the opportunity to launch an attack.
Although footwork combat techniques couldn't significantly increase a player's combat power like offensive combat techniques, a footwork manual for a Basic Combat Technique was the equivalent of an Advanced Offensive or Defensive Combat Technique in terms of value. Not only could footwork increase a player's survivability, but it could also allow a player to seize the initiative against an enemy of similar standards. To experts, footwork was extremely important.
At the end of the day, Xuan Cang was only in the Refinement Realm. He couldn't fully grasp the movements of the five afterimages. As Cleansing Whistle approached, he stomped his foot.
Thunder Strike!
Suddenly, the ground beneath Cleansing Whistle's feet began to tremble. A moment later, the ground caved in, preventing Cleansing Whistle from executing Afterimage Steps normally.
"Die!" Knowing that this was an opportunity, Xuan Cang immediately used his strongest Tier 2 Skill, Death's Impact.
Suddenly, the muscles on Vast Heaven's body swelled, and he turned into a three-meter-tall giant. Then, he raised the silver spear in his hand and thrust it at Cleansing Whistle.
Death's Impact was a Sacrificial Skill. At the cost of 40% of the user's HP, Death's Impact deals 500% damage to the target within 50 yards, increasing the user's Movement Speed by 150% and Strength by 100%.
In the next moment, the ground beneath Xuan Cang's feet shattered as a black figure charged at Cleansing Whistle.
Just as Xuan Cang was about to reach Cleansing Whistle, Cleansing Whistle sheathed the Level 50 Fine-Gold longsword in her right hand. Instead, she retrieved a worn-out longsword engraved with silver divine runes from her bag and swung it at Xuan Cang.
As Cleansing Whistle swung the worn-out longsword, the silver divine runes engraved on the weapon lit up. The longsword then struck Xuan Cang's silver spear.
Boom!
Following an explosion, the ground beneath Cleansing Whistle collapsed.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Cleansing Whistle was sent flying. In contrast, Xuan Cang's movements came to an abrupt halt as he stumbled three steps backward. The spear in his hand trembled as he entered a temporary state of paralysis.
Shock filled Xuan Cang's eyes. He couldn't understand what Cleansing Whistle had done to actually exhibit such Strength and block his strongest attack.
Before Xuan Cang could recover from his temporary paralysis, Cleansing Whistle swung the Epic Growth-type longsword in her other hand.
Tier 2 Skill, Storm Strike!
This move was also Cleansing Whistle's strongest Tier 2 Skill.
