Seven Kills had a feeling that Xiao Tan's skill was not to be underestimated, so he was more focused than he had ever been. He had made the decision not to face it head on. If he could avoid it, he would. If he could not, he would try his best to neutralize it.
However …
"Wait a minute … He doesn't seem to be coming for me …" As the distance between him and the ground became smaller, Seven Kills realized … Xiao Tan was still several dozen meters away from him, so there was no need for him to evade.
On the other hand, Xiao Tan had just realized this problem as well. Mantra of Heaven and Earth Inversion only reversed the effect of gravity on the user; it did not really make him fly. To put it bluntly … he was' falling 'straight down.
The change in wind direction and posture might cause the coordinates of his fall to change, but with these two things, he would not be able to move horizontally or diagonally, and he would not be able to land accurately on a target.
"Hmm? This is different from what I expected … "Xiao Tan immediately did a few breaststroke movements in the air as if he was trying to use this method to 'swim' above Seven Kills, but it was useless. Furthermore, even if he was falling in a straight line toward Seven Kills, as long as the latter moved several meters ahead of him, he would be fine.
In the end, Xiao Tan had no choice but to give up the attack. When he was about ten meters above the ground, he activated the mantra twice. After reversing gravity twice, he landed safely.
Seven Kills stood several dozen meters away and looked at Xiao Tan with confusion. He thought to himself, What is this kid doing? What is the point of flying so high and then landing? It can't be to show off to me … By the way, why hasn't the curse ended yet? What is this thing?
Hmm … This is such a bummer. Xiao Tan stood there and thought to himself, Unless the scenario is inside a chimney … the chance of hitting someone with this godly skill is very low. It needs to be combined with a tracking skill or a sprinting skill … He felt quite annoyed. If the description of this skill was not so mysterious, I would have learned the related skills a long time ago. What is the point of experimenting with the effect of this skill?
"Hey … Brother Wang, have you had enough fun?" Seven Kills said, "Are you trying to show me the results of your cultivation over the past two weeks?"
"Haha …" Xiao Tan laughed bitterly. "As you can see, it's nothing special."
"Is that so …" Seven Kills' expression changed slightly. "That's really disappointing."
"If we're talking about disappointment … I'm much more disappointed than you right now …" Xiao Tan replied weakly.
Xiao Tan was obviously referring to the psychological gap brought to him by the Heaven and Earth Inversion Magic Technique. After all, it was a skill that he had worked so hard to learn. He had thought that its effects would be amazing, but the actual situation was very different from what he had imagined.
But as the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart. When these words fell into Seven Kills' ears, combined with Xiao Tan's various performances so far, as well as his tone and demeanor when he spoke, it had a different meaning.
"Oh? Ha … Hahahaha … "Seven Kills laughed." Looks like you're really confident. You think that I'm no longer your opponent? "
"Uh …" Xiao Tan did not react for a moment. His "uh" was hesitation.
But to Seven Kills and the tens of thousands of spectators, it was confirmation.
"Okay! Brother Wang, please enlighten me. "After Seven Kills said that, his body disappeared in an instant.
In that second, Xiao Tan's battle instincts told him two things: one, his opponent was behind him; two, he had to use a doppelganger to avoid this attack.
Whoosh!
Seven Kills' fist punched forward and penetrated the back of the person in front of him. However … there was no explosion of flesh and bone, nor was there any blood. His fist seemed to have penetrated the opponent's body, but in fact, it hit an illusion.
"The same move is useless against me!" Xiao Tan's voice suddenly sounded behind Seven Kills.
Indeed, what Seven Kills used was the skill that he had used to kill Xiao Tan in the preliminaries — Shadow Step and Shocking Bone Piercing Fist.
He had used this chain to kill many players before, and it was a tried and tested skill. Honestly speaking, even if his opponent knew what he was going to do, it would be hard for him to defend against it.
First, Shocking Bone Piercing Fist was a skill that required one to block from the front. If one was hit from behind by this skill, it would be impossible for one's defense not to be broken. For players like Xiao Tan, who had weaker defense, after their defense was broken, their torso would be directly punched through by the fist.
Shadow Step was a teleportation skill. It allowed Seven Kills to appear behind an enemy within twenty meters. It consumed one hundred Sorcery Points, and it had a cooldown of half an hour.
These two skills were the classic combination of skills. When used together, there would be an effect of one plus one greater than two.
However … Xiao Tan had successfully nullified this chain.
The moment Seven Kills used Shadow Step, Xiao Tan also used Wind Stops Dust, and at the same time, he did a backflip in the air.
After Seven Kills teleported, the scene in front of him would suddenly change. Based on his experience, the first thing that entered his sight … would undoubtedly be his opponent's back. Therefore, he punched out without hesitation.
At this moment, Xiao Tan was already behind him.
In that instant, the hidden blade shot out and went for the back of his neck.
However … Seven Kills was not hit. It was as if he had eyes on the back of his head. When his punch missed, Seven Kills leaned forward and lowered his head, barely dodging the hidden blade.
"Humph … Are you a Saint Seiya?" Seven Kills laughed coldly and complained about Xiao Tan's words.
The reason he was so calm was because he knew from the start that Xiao Tan would not fall for the same trick twice.
Although Seven Kills could not explain why he had this thought, he had this feeling. This was intuition, an unfounded intuition … He did not know what method his opponent would use to nullify his chain, but he knew that his opponent would be able to nullify it.
This kind of trust in one's opponent was a very strange thing, but it was real. Sometimes … it was even more reliable than the trust in one's companions.
"I'll send you on your way!"
In the blink of an eye, Seven Kills spat out a threat. He turned around and swung his leg like a scorpion swinging its tail.
However, he did not succeed this time. Xiao Tan used a very simple method to seal his kick.
"That's right … I am a Saint Seiya." As Xiao Tan spoke, his hands had already passed through Seven Kills' armpits. He clenched his fists and held Seven Kills in front of him.
"What … This position … Could it be the legendary …" Seven Kills was shocked. "Lu Shan's Mighty Dragon Lord?"
"Hahahaha!" Xiao Tan guffawed. "The only way to seal a close-combat fighter, other than to stay away, is to stick close to them. You have no chance to deal any fatal damage to me!" As he spoke, he activated the Mantra of Heaven and Earth Inversion. He wanted to bring his opponent into the sky and then let go.
However … he did not expect that …
After the skill was activated, the two did not fly into the sky but stopped where they were.
Even though Seven Kills could feel a force pulling him up, the force was not strong enough to lift him up.
"F * ck … He's heavier than me …" Xiao Tan realized this serious problem.
Earlier, Shiva had come up with this strategy, but the premise of this strategy was that Xiao Tan could really fly. However, that wasn't the case in reality. The Divine Art could only reverse the player's communication with the outside world ("the player's" refers to the player's entire body, including the player's clothing, equipment, and so on), but it wouldn't affect the others that the player came into contact with.
Thus, Xiao Tan's plan B fell through.
"Your flying skill … Even though it's fast, it doesn't seem to carry much weight …" Seven Kills sneered and slowly turned around. He was shocked by Xiao Tan's appearance. "F * ck! Why is your hair standing up? And your face looks like it's filled with blood … "
"Actually, I'm a Saiyan." Xiao Tan tried to bluff to hide his embarrassment.
"Humph … Who are you trying to fool …" Seven Kills snorted. "If you were a Saiyan, you would have turned into a gorilla under the full moon."
At that moment, all the spectators were complaining. "You've got the main point wrong!"
However, Xiao Tan replied, "Humph … It's obvious that I didn't transform because I don't have a tail."
"It's obviously bullsh * t, but he even considered such details!"
"Ha … Nonsense!" Seven Kills did not want to waste any more time with him. With a shout, he attacked.
He had a military background, so he had plenty of ways to break free from a grab from behind. Seven Kills bent his legs slightly, lowered his body's center of gravity, and used his right leg to sweep backward.
Unexpectedly, this kick actually missed the target …
Xiao Tan was still in the state of reverse gravity. He retracted his legs and dodged the attack.
From a spectator's point of view, Xiao Tan was floating and squatting … His arms were still suppressing the movements of Seven Kills' hands.
"Ridiculous …" Seven Kills could not bring his hands together in front of his chest, but he could still extend them upward. He immediately raised his arms and grabbed backward with his palms, trying to grab Xiao Tan's head.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Tan suddenly changed his move. He retracted his hands and quickly grabbed Seven Kills' forearms. Then, he used a divine technique to reverse gravity again and pressed his knees against Seven Kills' shoulders.
Between the retraction and release, Seven Kills' arms were pulled upward, and his shoulders were pressed down by his entire body weight. The bones from his shoulder blade to his elbow joint were in danger of dislocating. He was a player who used his fists as his main weapon. If both his arms were crippled at the same time, he would be doomed.
"It's getting more and more interesting …" Seven Kills gritted his teeth and increased the strength of his arms. He was confident that the strength of his arms was stronger than that of Xiao Tan's entire body.
That was the truth, so Xiao Tan did not intend to compete with him. Instead, he suddenly let go and stabbed Seven Kills' temple with his hidden blade.
