This time, Shiva was prepared, so he reacted quickly. He used Swift Smoke to increase his speed and moved out of Shiva's attack range. At the same time, he used Impenetrable Spear as insurance to prevent Shiva from following up with another attack.
Obviously, Brother Jue did have something else up his sleeve. Based on the result of the simulation, he had at least six or seven combos that he could follow up with. Be it using his kung fu to increase the pressure or using Blade of Absolute Defense Penetration to break Shiva's Impenetrable Spear, they were all tactics that he could use to gain the upper hand.
However, the reality was that after Feng Bujue missed, he only smiled coldly and did not follow up with another attack.
The reason why he made this choice was because he was very clear … Under the current circumstances, the results of the zero time difference calculation were not reliable.
Ever since the battle for the cape, Brother Jue had not fought Shiva face to face. In this period of time, how much Shiva had grown … That was not something that could be easily estimated. Even though Feng Bujue had the data from the Data Perspective and the analysis he had gotten from their last fight, such as the attack frequency, firing speed, and movement range of the Heavenly Hourglass, it was far from enough to estimate Shiva's full power.
"Humph … such an infuriating person …" Several seconds passed, and seeing Brother Jue stop attacking, Shiva could not help but think to himself. "I have to admit, this kid's battle IQ is shockingly high … In a battle of disadvantage, he can find a way to survive, but in a battle of balance and advantage, he is flawless."
Indeed, Feng Bujue would not take the risk in a battle of balance like this, or rather … he was the type who would not make such a low-level mistake. No matter how arrogant he appeared on the surface, the "caution" in the depths of his heart would still insist on a "bottom line of logic". If he abandoned this line, then the line between madness and stupidity would disappear. In that state, the slightest carelessness would lead to his death.
"Hah … He used the skill that increases movement speed and defense in one go. The cooldown for those two skills should be more than one minute, right?" After a few seconds, seeing that Shiva did not move, Feng Bujue began to provoke him. "What should we do next? Should he use the more reliable [Flying Flame Fist] to give himself some [Ash Protection]? Or should I use the [Celestial Tyrant Transverse Space Rending Blast] to gain the upper hand? "
"Save it." The next second, Shiva replied without hesitation, "You wish to bait me with this level of provocation?" He continued unhurriedly, "You did gain some advantages in these two probing attacks, but if we calculate the overall consumption of our skills, physical strength, and spiritual power … we're about the same. You're using words to give me a psychological hint. You want me to take the initiative to attack, right? "
"Ah ~ Have I been seen through …" Feng Bujue smiled awkwardly. "This is a little awkward."
With how thick-skinned he was, the 'awkward' was just a joke … but it was the truth that his strategy had been seen through.
The first half of Feng Bujue's words was to give Shiva the feeling that he had lost earlier and needed to turn the tables around. The second half was to lead Shiva to consider 'how should I attack' instead of 'should I attack or defend.'
To put it bluntly, this was a classic bait … a plan to make the opponent attack as soon as possible.
But in reality … if one thought about it calmly, they would understand that after the two rounds, neither of them had gained much of an advantage. Yes, Shiva had used a stone plate, but that could only be considered a 'forced mistake.' Other than that mistake, both of them had used some skills, but neither of them had injured the other. Objectively speaking, Shiva, who had more skills on cooldown, should have been the one to drag the battle out.
"Feng Bujue, I have to thank you and Phantom Dawn …" Shiva looked straight into Brother Jue's eyes and continued. "Interaction with the two of you has changed me. It has allowed me to step into a realm that I have not been to before …" As he spoke, he slowly moved forward. "Now, I have a new understanding of my own power, experience, and skill. I don't dare to say that I won't be shaken anymore, but at least … my confidence won't crumble as easily as before, and I won't be disturbed by your strange actions anymore. " When he spoke, the remaining seven stone plates of the Heavenly Hourglass opened up again. "If you want to win against me, you have to show me something that will shut me up."
"Ha! I believe your words can be summed up in four words — fight me head-on. " As Feng Bujue spoke, he took out the Blade of Absolute Defense Penetration and Bell's Daily Dagger from his backpack and the scabbard around his waist. He held the pair of daggers in his hands.
"I told you, your strange words will not affect me …" Before Shiva finished, Brother Jue had already disappeared from his sight.
This attack was different from the previous two probing attacks. The 'presence' from before had disappeared, but the 'murderous intent' had multiplied.
When Feng Bujue reappeared, the cold glint of the blades in his hands had already reached Shiva.
"Finally serious …" Shiva knew that his chance had come. "Good timing!"
At that moment, with a thought, Shiva activated the special effect of the Heavenly Hourglass — Pure Land.
In the Battle for the Cape, even Understanding Death, who was a top player, had been defeated by this skill. 'Within one minute, all enemy skills and equipment effects (including passive) will be nullified.' What kind of f * cking special effect was this?
At that moment, Shiva saw that Brother Jue's killing move was about to land, and he knew that the time had come. With the effect of Pure Land, the two weapons in Feng Bujue's hands instantly turned into a normal dagger and cleaver. Due to the fact that he could not activate Body Enhancement Spell, the power of his physical skills was greatly reduced.
This way … Shiva's advantage became obvious.
Keng, keng!
After a short moment, the sound of two metal clashing could be heard.
Shiva raised his arms and used the armor on his forearms to block the attacks from the blades.
"Hmm … Even without the support of the special effect, the equipment's attack power is still not weak …" At that moment, Shiva felt his arms go numb, and many thoughts flashed through his mind. "The dagger's attack power should be Extreme, and the cleavers are much weaker … But compared to that, what is more interesting is this kid's basic physical skills …" With that thought in mind, his expression turned serious. "Be it strength, speed, or technique, they are all top-notch, and the three have reached an ideal state of 'balance'. Even I can't do this …"
"Humph … In the end, he has used it …" On the other side, Feng Bujue naturally knew what his opponent had done. After the blades were blocked, his first reaction was to flip backward and glance at the game menu in midair.
As expected … all the skill icons in the skill bar had turned gray. As for the equipment's special effect … the fact that Blade Must Pierce Defense did not penetrate the enemy's armor was a clear indication of the problem.
"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you won't live for more than a minute." Two seconds later, Shiva raised the first flag in this battle. "In the battle for the cape, I used this skill on Understanding Death. This time, I'll let you experience it …"
However, Feng Bujue's reaction was surprisingly calm. "Ha … I've been waiting for this." When he said that, he had already retreated several meters. He put the cleavers into his inventory and took out something else.
"Pretending to be calm, is it?" Shiva controlled the Heavenly Hourglass and charged forward. "I want to see how you, who have lost your advantage in speed and have no defense, will block this attack!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of the stone plate shattering rang out one after another.
At that moment, Shiva activated the Heavenly Hourglass's' water 'effect — Cleansing (Ignores physical defense and causes a wave of mental corruption on an enemy. Within thirty seconds, the target will be inflicted with the' cleansing 'status. Based on the target's Terror Points, a certain percentage of Life Points will be lost every second), 'Fire' special effect, 'Hellfire' (Ignores all Defense and Defense, unleashing a sure-hit fire attack on a single enemy. The attack will deal both physical and mental damage, and the damage will depend on the user's Sorcery mastery), and 'Wind' special effect, 'Wind Judgment' (Summons Binaka's trident to unleash a physical attack on a single enemy. The attack will be imbued with lightning element, and the damage will depend on the user's Fighting mastery). After use, the Wind Stone Plate will shatter, and it will only recover after returning to the log-in lobby.)
"Three, four, five …" Facing Shiva's relentless attack, Feng Bujue's face was as calm as water, and light flickered in his eyes. Even though he was struck by [Cleansing] and [Karmic Fire] at the first moment, even though he was suffering from intense pain both mentally and physically, he still calmly calculated the number of stone plates the other party had and efficiently made the most reasonable response.
"Hmm? Looks like I can dodge this … "After taking two hits, Brother Jue's eyes shifted slightly. He activated the Lightning Orb that he had in his hand earlier, Thunder Orb, and entered a state of five hundred percent movement speed that lasted for ten seconds.
His judgment was spot on. [Wind Judgment] was indeed different from the other two skills. This special effect did not have the characteristic of 'Absolute Hit'. As long as the first attack missed and lost momentum, the Birakah's trident that was formed from the stone plate of "wind" would disappear.
Therefore … Feng Bujue used his sudden increase in speed to successfully evade the attack and turned to run away into the distance.
But how could Shiva give Brother Jue the chance to escape? He had already guessed that … for a player at Brother Jue's level, other than 'equipment' and 'skill', he would have prepared several life-saving items. Therefore, when Shiva activated Heavenly Hourglass, he was like an arrow on the bow, waiting for Brother Jue to show an opening. Now that Feng Bujue had turned to escape, Shiva caught him in the act.
In the next second, there was a loud "Bang!"
Shiva's feet smashed the ground, and he charged forward with a [Celestial Tyrant Space Splitting Explosion].
Feng Bujue also felt the ultimate attack coming at him from behind. He immediately took out Immovable Mountain and turned around to use the defensive force field to reduce the force of the punch by more than half.
Of course, the knockback effect was still effective. Half a second later, Brother Jue's body was sent flying into the air.
"Hmm? That's not right … This is … "The moment his feet left the ground, Feng Bujue felt something strange, and he cursed internally.
"Did you notice?" When Shiva finished his sentence, he used a speed that was faster than Brother Jue's to jump into the air. "That's right … When I used Tianba's Sky Shattering Boom on you, I activated Weightless Contact. To put it simply … you're now a living target that won't fall from the sky."
Even Feng Bujue had to admit that Shiva had done a good job. Because those who were hit by Pure Land would not be able to move freely in the air, he used the knockback effect of Celestial Overlord's Great Bombardment and Weightless Contact to make the target continue to fly upward at a constant speed. Then, he could activate the Stone Plate of Sky's special effect — Ride in the Sky (Gain the ability to fly freely for one minute. After using it, the Stone Plate of Sky will shatter, and it will only recover after returning to the log-in lobby). He would catch up to his opponent and deal the final blow.
"If you don't have any other tricks up your sleeve, then it's time to end this!" Several seconds later, Shiva was already in Brother Jue's path. He roared and used One Slap Two Scatter Palm.
Shiva's chain of attacks, from start to finish, led the rhythm of the battle. Every attack was on the line between life and death, and Feng Bujue had no chance to catch his breath.
And this … was what Brother Jue was chasing after in this battle.
He did not use Chuck Norris's Razor and did not summon Blood Zombie God. He only used his other abilities to fight Shiva, and that was to force him into a corner. Only then … could he break through his own 'limit'.
…
Glowing information floated in the air like a halo, and endless thoughts were like an invisible fog … covering this large space.
This was an illusory realm filled with flowing lights and vibrant colors.
This was Feng Bujue's mind palace.
"What should I do? Should I try using Swift as the Wind? "That moment was so short that it could not be calculated, but in Feng Bujue's mind, it was so long that he could sit down in the mind palace and answer his own question.
"That's useless." Feng Bujue No.2 crossed his arms and stood to the side. He rejected Feng Bujue's suggestion. "Even if I'm invisible, I'll still run into the opponent's palm due to inertia."
"What if I detonate the grenade to change my direction?" Feng Bujue No.3 sat to the side and asked.
"It's too late." Feng Bujue Number Four used his finger to caress his forehead and the tip of his nose as he continued, "Even if we can ignore the timing of the fuse and use the strength of the grip to detonate the grenade, taking into account the time needed to remove the grenade from the backpack and the time needed to remove the grenade from the grenade … it won't be enough."
"Furthermore … if I do that, even if I manage to avoid the opponent's palm, I'll be blown half to death." Feng Bujue No.5 paced around as he added.
"More than that …" Feng Bujue No.3 added, "The damage from Purge is still ongoing. If I'm not mistaken, when the damage from this skill finishes, I'll lose 30% of my Life Points. And that Fire of Sin … has already burned through 40% of my Life Points. Combined with the Heaven Dominating Sky Shattering Blast earlier, the part that wasn't blocked dealt about 7% of the damage …"
"One more grenade and you'll be dead, right?" Feng Bujue No.2 licked his lips.
"Then … can't you use the Life Points Recovery Potion to recover your Life Points and tank the One Slap Two Scattering Palm?" Feng Bujue No.3 suggested.
"Of course you can …" Feng Bujue No.4 answered. "But even if you tank the attack, the situation will not change."
"Weightless Contact is not the problem, the Pure Land is." Feng Bujue No.5 added, "There are still 29 seconds left. How many times can you tank the attack?"
"So …" Feng Bujue No.3 said with a bitter smile, "What should we do?"
"What should we do?" Feng Bujue No.2 also laughed.
"What should we do?" Feng Bujue No.3 opened his arms.
"What should we do?" Feng Bujue No.4 shook his head.
"What should we do?" Feng Bujue No.5 raised his head to look at the sky.
Then they all fell silent.
Until …
"The limitation imposed by the system is nothing more than data, right?" Suddenly, another Feng Bujue No.3's voice rang out.
The other five Feng Bujue No.3's heard and turned their heads around.
In their line of sight, there was a birdcage-shaped cage. Inside the cage sat another Feng Bujue.
"Since I can see through the truth …" He revealed a wicked smile and looked at the other five. "Why don't I try to 'control' the truth?"
…
Hu!
The power of the palm stirred up a gust of wind.
Shiva's palm was almost touching Feng Bujue No.3's back. In his heart, he was certain that he had won. "Humph … in the end … you are weaker than I thought …"
However, at that moment, something unexpected happened!
