"What a cunning old fellow!"
Shifeng watched as the ten-meter-tall crimson flames flew towards him. The flames had sealed off his path of retreat. Peng, peng.
During the previous matches, Sirius had deliberately positioned himself in a corner of the stage. Meanwhile, one of the Famed Sword's Skills, Scorching Wave, was an AOE Attack Skill. Hence, Sirius had deliberately positioned himself in a corner.
If he had jumped to avoid the attack, he would have exposed an opening in the air. Sirius would have had the opportunity to land a fatal blow on him.
"Break!" Shi Feng abruptly shouted.
Dragon Breath!
Suddenly, a dragon's roar echoed throughout the stage. A white beam of light then pierced through the sea of flames and flew towards Sirius.
In terms of Basic Attributes, Shi Feng was stronger than Sirius. Moreover, Dragon Breath was one of the Heavenly Dragon's Breath's Additional Skills. In terms of power, it was even stronger than an Epic Weapon's Skill. Naturally, Shi Feng would have no problem breaking Scorching Wave.
In the next moment, the white beam of Dragon Breath devoured Sirius.
"It's over, just like that?"
This made those sitting in the audience stand dumbfounded.
However, Shifeng did not let his guard down. Activating Windwalk and the Swordsmanship Master title, he dashed towards Sirius's previous position.
However, before he could reach Shi Feng, Sirius, who had been devoured by Dragon Breath, charged out of the white beam. Sirius's entire body radiated a faint purple glow. When Dragon Breath's attack came into contact with the purple glow, it dissipated. Sirius had not received any damage at all.
"You actually discovered me?" Sirius was slightly surprised when he saw Shifeng charging towards him. Originally, he had intended to ambush Shifeng. Now, however, that was no longer possible.
Shifeng had no intention of giving Sirius any time to react. Immediately, he used Illusory Shadow.
Suddenly, six streaks of blue light appeared before Sirius in the blink of an eye.
Shifeng's movements were as smooth as flowing water. His Attack Speed had increased by 20% due to the Swordsmanship Master title. His speed was so fast that his opponents had no time to react.
Shifeng frowned as the blue streaks of light swept past him. Suddenly, a red beam of light shot towards him from an unbelievable angle.
Shifeng quickly pulled the Abyssal Blade out of his hand.
Clang!
When the two swords collided, sparks flew in all directions. It was as if the air had started to tremble, causing cracks to appear on the surrounding arena.
At this critical moment, the Abyssal Blade finally came into contact with the red glow. But after the first red light, another red light fell from the top of his head.
"How could this be?" Shifeng was flabbergasted. He had clearly deflected the sword, so how could there be another sword descending from above his head? Furthermore, he had not sensed it at all.
Parry!
Shi Feng used Killing Ray to block the red light descending from the sky.
"Such a heavy Dexterity!" Shi Feng took a step back. The ground beneath his feet shattered, and his arm felt slightly numb. This was the first time he had felt his arm go numb from blocking a player's attack. "As expected of the Famed Sword Searing Fire. The faster it is, the more powerful it is."
After just a brief exchange, Shifeng already knew that Sirius's Basic Attributes were extraordinary. Although Sirius was a Berserker with extremely high Strength growth, the Famed Sword he wielded would not be able to suppress him. Hence, Shifeng was certain that Sirius had more than one Epic item on him. Otherwise, with Searing Fire's Passive Skill, there was no way Sirius could suppress him in terms of Strength.
However, this was still not the most important part. Despite knowing his surroundings like the back of his hand, he could not sense Sirius's attack. He could not even sense the attack's trajectory …
Moreover, the illusory shadow attack should have perfectly struck Sirius. Yet, he did not feel as if he had struck the Berserker.
…
It was only a brief exchange of blows in the ring, but everyone in the spectator stands was stunned.
"So fast!" Feng Qianyu could not help but exclaim.
Shifeng's attack speed was even faster than when he had fought Blue Phoenix. Even his swinging arm was only a blur, not to mention the sword itself.
"Big Sis Rain, I clearly saw Ye Feng hit Sirius. Why didn't Sirius lose any HP?" Blue Phoenix asked curiously.
"Hit?" Feng Qianyu shook his head. "Ye Feng didn't touch him at all. How could he have possibly caused him to lose any HP?"
"He didn't touch him? That's not right! I clearly saw the blue light pass through Sirius's body!" Blue Phoenix's eyes widened in shock. She could not believe her ears. However, these words had come from Big Sis Rain's mouth. Naturally, they could not be fake.
"This is Sirius's strength. Absolute Control!" Feng Qianyu slowly explained. "Although it appears as if Ye Feng's sword has struck Sirius, in reality, there is still a paper-thin distance between Ye Feng's sword and Sirius. This distance is difficult to see with the naked eye, so it is not surprising that the attack cannot be distinguished. However, the system's attack judgement is very accurate. Even if there is only a distance of 0.1 millimeters between them, the attack does not count.
Blue Phoenix gaped in shock when she heard Shi Feng's explanation.
"Is he still human?" Normally, when Blue Phoenix dodged an attack, she found it extremely difficult to maintain a distance of one centimeter. Moreover, she had already reached the Void Realm.
When she reached the Refinement Realm, she could only control her body to the finest detail. Being able to maintain a distance of two or three centimeters was already impressive.
Yet, Sirius had managed to maintain a distance of less than one centimeter. It was unbelievable.
"This is only the beginning. Sirius is much stronger than you think," Feng Qianyu could not help but sigh as he watched Shifeng continuously defend himself.
Inside the stage, Shifeng grew increasingly apprehensive as the battle went on.
No matter how fast he swung his sword, he could not land a hit on Sirius. On the contrary, Sirius's attacks grew increasingly powerful, and he struggled to block them all.
Sirius's attacks always hit his blind spots. Moreover, the attacks grew increasingly tricky. Previously, he had been a hair's breadth away from catching up.
Finally, after over a dozen seconds of frenzied attacks …
A red light finally struck Shifeng.
However, the red light stopped before Shifeng, unable to advance any further.
Is this the power of a domain? At this moment, Shifeng had no choice but to activate Defensive Blade.
Sirius could dodge every one of his attacks. On the other hand, whenever he faced Sirius's attacks, they would land. For some reason, Shifeng felt as if he was under someone else's complete control.
"You are quite amazing. You only used your Lifesaving Skill after fighting me for so long." Sirius smiled faintly as he looked at Shifeng's miserable state. Instead of holding his sword with one hand, he now wielded both. "Since you are so strong, I should show you my true strength."
In the next moment, Sirius raised his crimson greatsword and swung it at Shifeng.
For a moment, time seemed to stop. Only Sirius's greatsword continued to descend.
"What a fast speed!" Shifeng watched as the greatsword descended. However, his sword could not keep up. No, I'm the one who's slowed down!
Suddenly, Shifeng recalled Bonfire's other Skill, Flame Dragon's Flash. When activated, all enemies within range would have their Attack Speed and Movement Speed reduced by 60%, and their Strength would triple.
This Skill was known for being unblockable.
A threefold increase in Strength was far more powerful than a threefold increase in damage. This was because Strength could shatter an opponent's Defense, exposing an opening and dealing a fatal blow. There was simply no comparison between the two.
Shifeng knew that it was too late to block the attack. Moreover, Defensive Blade's block counts had already been exhausted. He could not block this attack. Hence, he had no choice but to use Silent Steps, dodging the incoming attack and appearing behind Sirius.
However, just as Shi Feng was about to slash at the Berserker, as if Sirius had anticipated his attack, the Berserker spun, the Scorching Wheel in his hand, and appeared to Shi Feng's right. The Berserker's immense strength suppressed the surrounding air. Even with Shi Feng's high Strength Attribute, he found it difficult to move. In fact, he couldn't even breathe.
In desperation, Shifeng used Thunder God's Descent, Heavenly Dragon's Power!
Sirius's Attributes were extremely high. Now that Sirius's Strength had tripled, it would be no laughing matter if he got hit. A critical hit might even kill him instantly.
