Chapter 665 - The Wind King (2/2)

They were both using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

Again and again the daggers met, the ring of metal on metal filling the quiet air.

Suddenly Lin San danced away. Xie Xie stood there, blood welling from a cut on his left shoulder.

Xie Xie's forehead furrowed. He is really fast and nimble. He parried my every attack, but his angles of attacks were so hard to predict! If not for my quick reaction, that attack of his might have left more than just a small cut.

Xie Xie lunged at him, thrusting and slas.h.i.+ng with his Light Dragon Dagger, faster than before. Lin San dodged and parried, his daggers dancing with pale blue light. No matter how hard Xie Xie tried, his weapon never caught its target once. Neither of them used a second soul skill; they just kept on slas.h.i.+ng at each other, steel glinting in the sunlight.

“Lin San is getting the better of Xie Xie,” Fang'er commented. “If you look closely, you'll see that Lin San has the upper hand in speed and agility, which are what agility-type soul masters are all about. Especially speed. Lin San is showing not only speed but skill; he times his attacks well and strikes his opponent when he is vulnerable. Xie Xie has already sustained at least six injuries. They're not serious, but they're taking their toll.”

Fang'er's commentary was precise and to the point.

Lin San antic.i.p.ated his opponent's attacks and responded quickly with an agility that was difficult to match.

Xie Xie never knew what might be coming next. Lin San used his dynamic technique to attack him where he least expected it, making it tough for his opponent to read him; the speed of his combinations was threatening

Lin San stayed cool, calm and collected. His patience and endurance allowed him to capitalize on Xie Xie's mistakes. He was biding his time patiently, waiting for the opportunity to use a more powerful soul skill to take Xie Xie down.

They were moving so fast that all the audience could see was a blur of movement; they needed Fang'er's description to know what was happening on the stage.

Xie Xie was panting from the effort now, blood oozing from his cuts.
