Chapter 334 Defeat the Old Enemy
“Keng!”
Once the countdown dropped to zero, Yan Zhao Warrior reached behind his back and drew his sword with both hands. Brandishing the sword with his left hand, he opened his right and a shining pentagram appeared therein.
Because the battle was about to begin, I had already unsheathed my Emperor Qin’s Sword and had my Flaming Tiger God leap out of the pet dimension. My tiger roared fiercely as a crimson aura surrounded it, rallying it up for battle. It gave off the dignity of a king of the beasts.
……
“Come at me Xiao Yao Zi Zai!” Yan Zhao Warrior challenged, tightening the grip on his sword. He strolled over, neither rushing nor tarrying his steps and just calmly chuckled along the way. His demeanor seemed to be saying to all, ‘Give me your best shot, I have no openings’, and to me, it looked as though there was no hole in his defense. His hissing Demon Mantis closely followed behind him as it waved its sharp blades.
At the same time I also stepped forward and flashed my blade in a test attack!
“Keng!”
Sparks flew as Yan Zhao Warrior lightly warded off the hit. He then countered swiftly; his blade was like a shadow. With a sweep of my body, I dodged the attack and lightly stabbed my Emperor Qin’s Sword forward!
Yan Zhao Warrior knocked it away again, but this time, his body suddenly burst forward and his speed abruptly increased. The rhythm of his attack swiftly changed as his long sword began to burn in wild flames; it was the prelude to [Flame Blade]!
I bit down. Bring it! I met his attack with a [Fierce Ice Blade]!
“Pu pu!”
1929!
2711!
Our sword clashed for a moment before we separated. There was a pretty wide gap in our stats. My [Dragon’s Whistle of Thunder and Lightning] gave a 40% increase to my attack and defense, making my damage so OP that even Yan Zhao Warrior’s top tier equipment couldn’t defend against my attack. Besides, Yan Zhao Warrior’s chest plate had been caked in frost, making his movements slightly slower. At this point, I stole another 271 health with my lifesteal; it was clear who had the advantage.
I slightly lowered my blade, [Blade Rush]!
I flew forward 5 yards as my Flaming Tiger God roared and used [Burstfire Raid] to follow up my attack. Yan Zhao Warrior’s feet began sliding and dodged my [Blade Rush]. With a cold glance, his left hand suddenly cut through the wind and a red glow began appearing in his hand. He was actually created a red bramble chain! With a sweep of the chain, there was no way of dodging it. “Pa!” it bound my two legs!
“Di!”
Battle Notification: Warning! Player Yan Zhao Warrior used the skill [Blood Red Chains]. You cannot move for 5 seconds!
……
My heart was filled with terror; I had been locked down!
Without a single hesitation, I slightly leaned backward and started to build up some force in my legs. [Seven Star Fragment Slash] suddenly burst out and completely enveloped Yan Zhao Warrior and his Demon Mantis!
2318!
3412!
Yan Zhao Warrior smirked and quickly charged forward. Energy began to gather under his feet; it was the prelude of his combo, [Peerless Strike]!
Just as Yan Zhao Warrior’s attack activated, my arm jolted and a crimson dragon broke through the ground and encircled me which created a shield. The blade slashed right in front of my chest, but I had already entered into defense mode!
“Keng keng keng……”
Sparks kept on flying as [Peerless Strike]’s 5 hits continuously fell upon my body. Even though I had the [Shield of the Crimson Dragon] on, I still lost 2600+ health. Right after [Peerless Strike] finished, I swiftly slashed a [Wind Blade] right into Yan Zhao Warrior’s shoulder. Even though [Blood Red Chains] didn’t allow me to advance, it didn’t affect my attacks!
3117!
Yan Zhao Warrior retreated in pain and luckily gulped down another potion, or else he wouldn’t have been able to fight at all. Looking at his body, I reached out with one hand and opened my palm, [Great Realm of Desolation]!
At the same time, the Demon Mantis withstood the attack from the Flaming Tiger God and flailed its two blades as it activated [Soul Eater Slash]!
“Peng!”
1123!
Even though its damage wasn’t too much, I was still stunned for one second, and my [Great Realm of Desolation] was interrupted! Yan Zhao Warrior turned around, then leaped back at me and hacked down onto me from above. It was a [Combo] + [Skyshaker Slash], my life was truly on the line!
My Divine Battle Boots hastily stepped across the ground as my body quickly left its original position with a “Bang”. Behind me, a chain of MISSes flew up, so I knew that his [Combo] had landed on empty air. Even before Yan Zhao Warrior could turn around, I quickly turned around and used a Lv 8 skill to cut down Yan Zhao Warrior’s shoulder. At the same time, I used a [Heal] on myself and gulped down a potion. His pet, the Demon Mantis, had also activated a Lv 8 [Combo] which was very destructive as well. Both Yan Zhao Warrior and his pet were strong indeed.
“Bang!”
As the sword fell down, Yan Zhao Warrior turned around and raised his sword above his shoulder to block. He slid a dozen meters from the impact of my attack and his health was in the critical area already. I began hitting him and evading. With my 10% Lifesteal effect and the fact that my health was still above 50%, I killed his Demon Mantis. Lightly smiling at Yan Zhao Warrior, I said, “Uncle, why don’t we finish this?”
Yan Zhao Warrior weakly stood up. Once his pet had been killed, he had no way of summoning another pet. With an annoyed face, he looked at me and said, “Xiao Yao Zi Zai is truly Xiao Yao Zi Zai. From the start in Ba Huang City, you’ve always been so prideful and strong. Looks like you’re pretty much about to become a Master level player in battle manipulation. Come on, give me a quick death!”
TL Note: In the previous chapter, Qing Qian was able to summon another pet because her Ice Rat had not been killed yet
“Is that so? But I haven’t even been planning to go down that path……”
I laughed out loud. Yan Zhao Warrior thought that I was a battle manipulator. It was probably because of my 10% [Blood Steal] and [Heal]. True, those are two of the main skills of a battle flow manipulator. Unfortunately, I didn’t really like manipulating the flow. Instead, I wanted to go more toward a path of complete victory, giving my opponent no means of retaliating, pressuring him all the way until he dies. That was the essence of my character.
Looking at Yan Zhao Warrior’s critical health, I didn’t make any move. Instead allowed my Flaming Tiger God to pounce with a [Flame Claw]+[Blood Drain] onto Yan Zhao Warrior’s chest!
1828!
1911!
