Blood dripped down with the wind.
Ruo Yu's wound was not deep. It was on her left hand.
Xu Huai Shang's wound was not deep either. It was on her left rib.
When the two weapons clashed, the former's two sword techniques unleashed two different sword auras. The latter, on the other hand, used two swords to unleash a long weapon, the Revolving Heaven Slash.
The former was able to unleash her attacks freely while the latter was able to materialize her attacks. Both of them were extremely proficient in the use of weapons and their understanding of martial arts.
However, the difference in their techniques and the shape of their weapons had a subtle effect on the outcome of this battle.
There was no such thing as a flawless defense in this world. There was no such thing as an invincible attack. There was no such thing as two people who were on par with each other.
There was no first place in literature and no second place in martial arts.
As long as the two sides were human, they would be able to determine the winner through the details.
If one had to point out who had the upper hand in that exchange, it would be … Xu Huai Shang.
Even though her torso was injured, the pain was nothing. The depth of the wound was not enough to affect the reflexes of her muscles.
However, Ruo Yu's wound … was more troublesome. The pain from her left wrist would directly affect her ability to wield her weapon. Furthermore … the wound would open up as she continued to wield her sword at an extremely high speed.
"Looks like you have bad luck." After the exchange, Xu Huai Shang looked at Ruo Yu's hand and said.
"No, this is not a matter of luck." Ruo Yu replied calmly, "It's just that my swordsmanship is not good enough."
"No matter what … I will not go easy on you because of this." Xu Huai Shang said.
"I know." Ruo Yu replied, "That would be for the best …"
Silence descended once again. The atmosphere between the two of them was like the calm before the storm …
…
At the same time, outside of the sword and blade formation of the two heroines, everyone was paying close attention to the changes in the battle. They were ready to act at any time.
"This … Should we help?" Tie Haitang's marksmanship mastery was not bad. She should be able to help at this moment. However, she still asked for Bloody Rose's opinion.
"Are you confident that you can hit the target while they are fighting?" Blood Rose did not give a direct answer, but instead asked a question.
"Ha …" Tie Haitang laughed bitterly. "How is that possible? I can't even see their afterimages when they attack so quickly …" She signaled to Ruo Yu with her eyes. "What I mean is … like now, when they are in a standstill state, can we consider intervening?"
"Actually, there's no difference." Bloody Rose continued in a deep voice, "If you don't believe me … you can try shooting her now."
Her words sounded a little mystifying, but Tie Haitang was the type of person who acted faster than she thought, so she decided to give it a try.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out, and a rifle bullet suddenly shot out of the chamber, rushing towards Ruo Yu who was standing in the distance.
In that second, Ruo Yu's gaze was still fixed on Xu Huai Shang's body. Her body didn't move at all.
However, the bullet did not hit her. Instead, it brushed past her.
"Eh?" Seeing this, Tie Haitang was stunned. "I missed? That's impossible … "
That was indeed impossible. At this distance, there was no way she would miss a stationary target.
"It's not that you missed, it's that she avoided it …" Bloody Rose continued. "But … just as you said, she was so fast that we couldn't even see her afterimage. Therefore, visually, it gave us the illusion that she didn't move at all."
"Hey … that's too much of an exaggeration." Tie Haitang replied in a skeptical tone.
"Actually … that's normal." Bloody Rose replied, "The opponent's speed is obvious … The speed of the bullet is actually slower compared to the rhythm of their battle earlier. Unless you can accurately intervene in the process of their entanglement and ensure that you don't accidentally injure your own people … Otherwise, such shooting is all in vain. "
"Haha … that might not be true …" At this time, Feng Xinzi suddenly laughed drily and said, "After that shot …" When she said this, her eyes had already moved away from the battle and looked elsewhere. "That Wang Tanzhi … suddenly disappeared."
"What?" Bloody Rose and Tie Haitang were shocked when they heard that.
The two hurriedly turned to look and realized that of the two members from Underworld Frontline who were originally standing on the same side as Yuan Qi and the other NPCs … only Flowers in the Stone was left.
"When did he …" Bloody Rose wanted to ask another question.
"I didn't see him …" Feng Xinzi did not wait for her to finish. "Before the gunshot, I looked at him, and he was still there. When the gunshot was fired, I also looked at Passing Rain like you guys did. After the gunshot … when I looked back, the kid had already disappeared."
As the medic player in the team, Feng Xinzi always played the role of support and support. Therefore, she often paid attention to the blind spots that her teammates did not pay much attention to. And now, she had discovered something that might pose a huge threat …
"Tsk … I was too careless," Tie Haitang said with dissatisfaction. "I let the opponent's assassin disappear from my sight …"
"At this point, we have to come up with a countermeasure," Bloody Rose said with a frown. Moments later, she spoke again. "Since we are temporarily unable to provide effective support to the captain's battle, why don't we do something else?" He paused for half a second before continuing. "I have two ideas. One, we should leave this place and chase after Feng Bujue. Two, we can make use of the fact that Wang Tanzhi has gone missing. We can make use of this opportunity to circle around the battlefield and try to kill Hua Jian before the group of NPCs can react."
"Hmm …" After a moment's hesitation, Feng Xinzi said, "I think the second plan is better. The three of us will trigger a battle. Whether it succeeds or not, at least it will distract Passing Rain to a certain extent."
"Haha …" Tie Haitang chuckled. "How come I feel like … if the three of us chase after Feng Bujue, it will be easier to distract her …" For a person of action like her, her instincts were surprisingly accurate.
"Hmm … Actually, I also think chasing after them is better." Bloody Rose thought about it. "Even if the NPCs are not that powerful, that Leader Yuan is undeniably a boss. Furthermore, before Feng Bujue left, he specifically asked him to help. If we go after them now … it will create pressure for Passing Rain, and it will give us a chance to kill Flowers in the process, but we will have to pay a price. This way … our team leader will be distracted as well. "
"Then, we will use the first plan." After hearing this analysis, Feng Xinzi did not have any objections. "We should not waste time. The longer we stay here, the more disadvantageous it will be for us … Don't forget, the enemy still has Wang Tanzhi, whose whereabouts are unknown."
After the discussion, the three turned around cautiously … and hurried deeper into the villa.
On the other hand, Hua Jian, who had witnessed this scene, smiled faintly and muttered to himself, "Hmm … I fell for it …"
…
Boom!
After about two minutes of stalemate, a burst of energy once again attracted everyone's attention.
They saw … Ruo Yu and Xu Huai Shang, who were inside the Sword and Blade Formation, had both increased their presence.
At this point, the battle had entered a more suffocating phase …
"Hidden Moon."
The moment the name of the skill was uttered, Xu Huai Shang's body glowed with a blue icy glow. Her body dissolved into water and silently sank into the ground.
Half a second later, a blue light rippled out from behind Ruo Yu, and it brought out Xu Huai Shang's body.
Obviously … this [Hidden Moon] was an instantaneous movement technique. In the 'skills of the swordsmen from another world', other than the skills that were triggered by cold weapons, there were also many other high level skills, and this … was one of them.
In terms of skill effects, this skill was even better than Seven Kills' [Shadow Step]. Seven Kills' skill would appear behind the enemy after teleporting, but [Hidden Moon]'s distance could be adjusted according to the caster's will, appearing at any point around the enemy. In addition, [Hidden Moon]'s appearance had a wave-like blue light effect to obstruct the enemy's vision.
Of course, the weakness of Hidden Moon was also very obvious. In terms of skill effect speed, Shadow Step was undoubtedly faster, because the former's' Dissolving Water and Sinking Ground 'effect took a bit of time. Plus, this special effect was very obvious, as long as the enemy saw it once, they would be prepared. The next time they saw the blue light, they would know what was going to happen.
However, this kind of 'prediction' didn't mean much in this battle …
Regardless of whether she had seen this move or not, Ruo Yu was still able to react in time.
"Fei Dao Sect, Forbidden Hand, Rolling Rain Formation!"
"Wind Leaves Traces."
The killing intent and fighting skills of the two people who were so close to each other suddenly clashed.
The sword light vibrated, as if it was a soul-stealing dance.
The sword light rushed, as if it was a sad song.
As the sword and blade clashed, the two people were still moving according to the situation, looking for a chance to change their skills and break through.
Their movement techniques were agile and swift, and they were like celestial fairies that danced gracefully on the waves as they moved. However, their attacks were like the flames of a storm that shook the hearts of others.
The group of Wulin heroes present had never seen such a duel before. They were all dumbfounded and exclaiming in amazement. Some people even felt that the martial arts that they had practiced for decades were a joke, and they even thought of quitting Jianghu …
"Shadow Slit!" It was too late to say, but in the blink of an eye, after another round of attacks, Xu Huai Shang threw up Falling Flower and used another strange skill.
The fast sword flew into the air and suddenly entered a very small crack in space. Half a second later, the same crack appeared behind Ruo Yu, and Falling Flower flew over from that unavoidable angle.
"Sword Magic Style …" Ruo Yu was as calm as before, she raised the Water Sword in her left hand and used the Magic Style to counter the fast sword. At the same time, her right hand moved again, "Howling Wind!"
When these two skills met, Xu Huai Shang, who only had one sword in her hand, should have been forced back, but she didn't expect …
At this moment, Xu Huai Shang threw the sword in her right hand into the air as well, and waved her hands forward, "Fiery Palm, Miasma Break!"
Ruo Yu didn't expect that Xu Huai Shang, who was used to using two swords … would abandon her swords and use her palms at this moment.
Not only did she abandon her swords, but … she also copied Ruo Yu, and used her left hand and right hand to use two different skills.
"Good!" In this extreme situation, Ruo Yu couldn't help but praise her. Under her cold exterior … a trace of fanatical, battle-hungry nature had been ignited.
Chi Ying — —
After a strange sound, with the power of Miasma Break, Xu Huai Shang's soft and slender hand … grabbed the Xuan Yuan Sword tightly.
Her other hand … slammed towards Ruo Yu's chest.
At this moment, the wound on Ruo Yu's left hand finally opened up under the pressure, and the electric pain made it impossible for her to turn her sword around in time to defend herself.
As a result … the power of the [Ferocious Fist] landed squarely on her chest.
In a split second, Ruo Yu felt dizzy, and the blood in her chest froze.
She couldn't gather her breath, so naturally, she couldn't use her strength … Xu Huai Shang's next attack was naturally connected …
"Emperor Ren … Explosive Killing Array!" Xu Huai Shang thought that this was her last attack.
The spectators and those who were watching the live broadcast also thought that this was the final attack that would decide the outcome of the match.
But Ruo Yu … didn't think so.
"I wanted to save this for the final match …" When Ruo Yu was lifted into the air by Xu Huai Shang, she took a deep breath and mumbled, "… but it was worth it to use it on you."
Xu Huai Shang didn't know what her opponent was going to 'use', but when she heard this, she felt a strong sense of unease …
The duration of Soul Advent was limited, and there wasn't much time left. Xu Huai Shang kept changing her attack to prevent the battle from being dragged out to the next five minutes. But now that Ruo Yu said something like this, the situation was not looking good … Ruo Yu was not the type of person who liked to bluff like Feng Bujue. If she said something like this, then she must have a trump card that she hadn't used yet.
However, even though she was worried, Xu Huai Shang was already halfway through her attack … In less than two seconds, Ruo Yu would be pressed to the ground and suffer the full damage of this attack. The Ring of Violence Palm earlier had already taken out more than half of Ruo Yu's Life Points, there was no way she could survive the damage of Emperor Ren's Explosive Killing Array.
No matter what … Xu Huai Shang had no reason to stop her attack.
However, in those two seconds …
Gurgle — Gurgle —
A strange sound that sounded like bones rubbing against each other came from Ruo Yu's skull.
At the same time, a white, plaster-like substance seeped out from Ruo Yu's skin and quickly covered half of her skull … It solidified into a mask with a vicious face and a wing-like pattern.
Bang!
Just as this happened, Xu Huai Shang's attack took effect.
The golden shadow of Emperor Ren appeared and it blasted a giant crater into the ground …
With the rebounding force of the skill, Xu Huai Shang leaned back and somersaulted in the air, leaving the center of the explosion. Falling Flower and Flying Catkins also flew back into her hands.
It looked like … she had won.
However, her eyes … were still staring at the dust that had yet to disperse with a burning gaze.
