Cang Yan had been leisurely travelling, and suddenly a grasshopper had jumped out from the side of the road and wanted to rob him … this was how Cang Yan felt right now.
If this was a high-level NPC, perhaps he would think twice. However, this person was evidently a player, and a new face at that!
As the 4th ranker on the Heaven Rankings, Cang Yan could count the number of people that he respected in the Hua Xia District with 2 hands. He had a clear understanding of the people who were once on the Heaven and Earth Rankings. Only the super experts on the Heaven and Earth Rankings would make him cautious. Those on the Earth Rankings would make him slightly apprehensive, and the rest would be beneath his notice. However, he had never seen this new face before, and evidently didn't have anything to do with the Heaven Rankings or Earth Rankings. In his eyes, this person was like trash, and he could easily crush him to death.
This person, who was about to die, was still acting so arrogantly.
Cang Yan coldly laughed. Bullying the weak was one of the things that he enjoyed the most. He slowly raised his right hand, and a ball of red flames appeared in his palm. The flames grew taller and taller, until they were as tall as his shoulders, and he said in a mocking voice, "Is that so? Then I'd like to see if you'll send me off, or if I'll send a laughable idiot like you to hell. "
"Hoh! And a Fire Mage … oh wait, I think you've already completed your second profession upgrade and become a Flame Wizard. "Winter of That Year grinned as he cursed inwardly," You dare to call this handsome man an idiot? Your elder will beat you up to the point that even your own mother won't be able to recognize you!! "
Winter of That Year was normally quite carefree, and couldn't take his eyes off beautiful women. Because of Yun Meng Xin's beauty and a few words, he had become hot-headed and stayed here for a few months. He seemed like a simple-minded and harmless person, but in reality, he held grudges, and wouldn't allow himself to be taken advantage of. Cang Yan calling him an "idiot" caused his anger to soar, and the method he was going to use to send this intruder away … was not going to be gentle at all.
A green bow appeared in Winter of That Year's hands. The bow wasn't very big, and it looked like it was made from rattan wood. Regardless of its color or shape, it was obvious that it was a low-grade bow weapon. As soon as he revealed this weapon, Cang Yan disdainfully snorted. He felt that personally exchanging blows with this sort of trash was an insult to himself. He flung the flames in his hands towards Winter of That Year as he coldly said, "Idiot, remember to keep your eyes open when you go out next time! There are some people that scum like you can never afford to offend! "
As the Flame Emperor, Cang Yan had grown up in a superior environment. Coupled with his extraordinary talent and hard work, his arrogance grew as he grew older. This was especially true in the game world. Aside from a select few, the other players were like ants in his eyes. Even conversing with them felt like lowering his status. Overall, he did have the right to be arrogant.
However, it was a pity that the person he met today was not a super expert on the Heavenly List … It was a piece of iron plate that looked easy to crush, but was actually extremely hard!
Cang Yan threw out a 'Fire Wall' that even a normal Mage could cast. However, this Fire Wall was much larger than a normal Fire Wall, and it was abnormally fast. Cang Yan was an innate fire esper in the real world, and this talent had been brought into the virtual world. His control over fire was hundreds of times better than normal Mages'! His fame as the Flame Emperor and the glory of being ranked 4th on the Heaven Rankings were all real.
Just as Winter of That Year took out his weapon, a wave of searing heat rushed towards him. As a belligerent, he had fought with many fire mages and had a thorough understanding of fire magic. However, he had never seen such a huge and fast wall of fire. In a moment of shock, his body had already reacted before his mind. Like a bowstring that had been pulled taut for a long time, he instantly retreated three body lengths. The wall of fire immediately whistled past him.
Holy crap, this Flame Wizard wasn't simple at all … Winter of That Year, who had dodged, froze as he inwardly groaned.
Seeing that his attack had missed, Cang Yan's eyes narrowed, and he slashed out with his left hand, sending out 3 Fire Balls, which were also from his first profession upgrade, towards where Winter of That Year was going to land. Facing this unknown person who only had a Bronze grade weapon, Cang Yan didn't even bother to use his second profession upgrade skills.
These 3 Fire Balls caused Winter of That Year to feel incredibly shocked.
A Mage's magic attack was extremely powerful and had a long attack range. Some even had a very large attack range. However, there was also a huge flaw … That was, casting a magic required a certain amount of time to chant. The length of the chant varied according to the strength of the magic and the type of the spell. Most first profession upgrades had a cast time of less than 1 second, and after casting the spell, the caster would be stunned for at least 1 second. In other words … When casting 2 basic spells, there would be at least 1 second between them.
However, Cang Yan's Fire Wall and 3 Fire Balls … were only around half a second apart!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The 3 Fire Balls simultaneously exploded, and the explosion was incredibly powerful. The light from the explosion formed a massive screen of flames. Winter of That Year was completely sucked into the screen of flames.
"Hmph, can't even take a single blow."
Cang Yan coldly laughed. Just as he spoke, a cold light suddenly flashed in front of him. From the direction of the light, it could only have come from behind the screen of flames. Moreover, it was incredibly fast … it was so fast that Cang Yan could only see a cold star growing larger in his eyes, and was unable to dodge in time.
The light accurately hit Cang Yan's forehead. Cang Yan gave a muffled grunt as he fell to the ground.
Behind him, Winter of That Year smirked as he held his bow in his left hand, while his right hand hovered in the air. He maintained the posture of releasing the bowstring … if one looked closely, they would see that there was a line of cold sweat on his forehead as he inwardly muttered the following words …
Goddamnit … so close!
Cang Yan, who had fallen to the ground, jumped up. His expression was so unsightly that it was as if he had eaten shit, "You … Impossible!"
He couldn't believe that this person could take 2 of his attacks and come out unscathed. What's more, he couldn't believe that he was still able to attack … and that he had accurately hit the spot between the eyebrows!
The damage of a Bow attack depended on where it hit. If it hit the head, the chance of a Critical Hit would be doubled. If it hit the forehead, there was a 100% chance of a Critical Hit, and it was very likely that the target would be knocked over, as well as interrupting any skills or magic. However, the spot between the eyebrows … it was just a tiny dot, and it couldn't be off by even the slightest bit. For an archer, hitting the glabella was a rare stroke of luck that only happened once in a thousand years. With a human's ability, it was impossible to hit such a tiny target without missing even a millimeter even when facing a stationary target at close range. Moreover, in a real battle, both sides were constantly moving.
However, the arrow that Cang Yan had received had actually hit the spot between the eyebrows, knocking him over. However, from how he saw it, it could only be a coincidence! There couldn't be a second coincidence!
"You bastard!" Not only had he not been able to insta-kill this person, but he had even been hit. To Cang Yan, this was a massive humiliation. All of his disdain and arrogance turned into anger, and his face darkened. With a curse, he stretched out both of his hands, and two balls of purple flames appeared in his palms … Cang Yan was so angry that he would not hold back anymore. He was determined to turn this little archer in front of him into ashes.
Winter of That Year had personally experienced how terrifying Cang Yan's flames were. Moreover, it was only a first profession upgrade Fire skill. If it was a second profession upgrade Fire Magic … it would be no joke.
In that case, what was the safest way to avoid being burnt to ashes?
Of course it was to make sure that this Flame Wizard didn't have the chance to cast any Fire Magic!
Whoosh!
Winter of That Year didn't move at all, but a cold light suddenly shot out … before this, Cang Yan didn't even see Winter of That Year nocked the arrow, nor did he see him draw the bowstring and prepare to shoot. That cold light shot towards him just like that.
It was abnormally fast, and it was only 7 steps away. Cang Yan, who was about to release his Fire Magic, was hit by the cold light … and once again, it accurately hit the spot between his eyebrows.
Putong!
Cang Yan fell backwards to the ground like a log, and the flames in his hands extinguished. His HP fell to less than half.
Mages had very low HP, but the Flame Emperor, who had a powerful background and countless resources, had much more HP than Mages of the same level. Adding on the fact that Winter of That Year's weapon was quite trash … after all, he and Hundred Miles of Ice hadn't been able to move around much recently, and obtaining a LV50 Bronze grade weapon was already quite rare. Trash weapons could only deal trash damage, so even though he had hit Cang Yan's forehead twice, he had only taken half of his HP. At the same time, these 2 attacks weren't normal attacks, but a powerful single target skill from the second profession upgrade – Crippling Feather Arrow.
Being knocked over the first time could be considered a coincidence, but being knocked over the second time … how could there be such a shocking coincidence in the world? Cang Yan, who was already burning with rage, fell to the ground once again. He was so angry that his lungs almost exploded. With a roar, he turned around and was about to get up, but an arrow suddenly flew towards him in that instant. Cang Yan stood up as if he was looking up to receive the arrow.
With a 'chi' sound, the cold light once again hit Cang Yan's forehead, causing him to fall back down again.
"Screw your grandma's legs, you dare to call this handsome man an idiot? If you can stand up before you die, I'll change my surname to yours for the rest of my life!! " Winter of That Year raised the Bronze Longbow, which Cang Yan viewed as trash, as he arrogantly and savagely roared.
