Chapter 75 – Battle of the Gold Coins (2/2)
“Just what I wanted!” Fierce Tiger smirked delightedly.
I then asked, “So, how should we fight? Should we do a Technique Fight or a Brute Fight?”
“What is a Technique Fight, and what is a Brute Fight?” Fierce Tiger asked with widened eyes.
I slowly explained, “Technique Fight is a fight in which within the time of one skill’s cooldown, you can attack me with three blows and I won’t retaliate. If I were to die, then I would admit defeat. After that, I would deal you three blows and if you die, then you will have to admit defeat. As for Brute Fight, it would be just like an ordinary fight; whoever stands in the end is the winner.”
Fierce Tiger took a deep breath and said, “Fine, then let’s do a Technique Fight. But, who will go first?”
I smiled and extended my arms, gesturing him to go first, “You can go on the offensive first. I will give you the opportunity to attack me three times. I can dodge and defend and we’ll see whether you are able to cut me down.”
“Fine!”
Fierce Tiger shook his head proudly and carrying his war axe, laughed, “Xiao Yao Zi Zai, here I come!”
“Feel free!”
……
Holding my sword vertically in front of my chest, I held my ground. I slowly swung the Jade City Sword down to my side. Just my standing posture alone exuded power.
Fierce Tiger, holding his battle axe, rushed straight towards me. He suddenly twisted his arms and did a sweeping attack with his battle axe. Rationally speaking, this attack was much harder to dodge as the range of attack was in the shape of a fan.
“Pah…”
With my left palm gently resting on the blade of the sword, I raised the Jade City Sword vertically on my right and used all the strength in my body to block my opponent’s attack. To make things worse, this blow of Fierce Tiger’s was a [Fire Axe]!
Clang!
Sparks flew and a large damage number appeared–
“279!”
This guy, his attacking abilities were really extraordinary!
A look of consternation appeared briefly in Fierce Tiger’s eyes, “What strong defensive capabilities!”
Stepping hard on the grass, he leapt to my right and did an uppercut with his axe; it was a [Penetration] attack!
However, I was looking at everything clearly and I slid my leg backwards!
“Miss!”
The Swordsman class had a high agility growth rate and this advantage was very apparent, shown by how easily I dodged his attack. However, the defense ignoring effect was still applied and with his next attack, he would be able to ignore 20% of my defense, making the next blow an extremely painful one!
Coming right after the second strike was the third strike, [Burning Axe], the most powerful killing technique after the 2nd job advancement!
I wasn’t so presumptuous as to think that I would live through that easily, I raised my hands and using [Heal], I got myself to full health while at the same time, tried to avoid his attack. But the enemy’s battle axe, as though creating an invisible force field, suddenly made my movements very slow. This was a game restraint due to my level and techniques; I was unable to dodge the next attack!
Clang!
My shoulders felt a pain that seemed to dig into my heart. A large damage number appeared–
“1348!”
I stared in shock, [Penetration]+[Burning Axe]. It was indeed an ultimate chain combo killing technique of the Berserkers. That fatal blow almost one hit KO-ed me. Fortunately, I had obtained some equipment before and my total Health jumped to 1558, or else I might really have ended up kneeling there dead!
“Sha sha sha…”
My Silver Boots glided along the grass. I was knocked back almost a full 5 meters by the last [Burning Axe]. Looking embarrassed, Fierce Tiger opened his eyes widely, flabbergasted, “Damn it, you still won’t die with this. I’ll slaughter you!”
It’s over, this guy was enraged, so he decided to ignore the rules and just kill me first…
……
“Hua!”
Although it was a normal attack, the axe moved with great speed.
Slightly tilting my body, I dodged his attack. With another twist of my body, I managed to move behind him. Using the opportunity when he was dazed for a moment, I activated my combo!
Bangbangbang!
“357!”
“371!”
“328!”
In an instant, the Berserker who was at full force was dealt a heavy damage. Fierce Tiger’s face turned black, “Damn! What kind of attack power is that, the individual hits of [Combo] are dealing above 300?!”
Quickly gulping down a health potion, Fierce Tiger did a backwards sweep towards me.
Following his attack angle, I slid to his back once again and laughed beneath my breath. At the same time, a surge of white aura came from beneath my feet!
Looking at the animation of my attack, the crowd surrounding us was surprised; some of the pretty ladies even covered their small mouth and widened their round eyes, “God, is that… Isn’t that the starting animation for custom combo attacks? Xiao Yao Zi Zai possesses his own combo attack!”
[Strength of a Thousand Men]!
Pah pah pah, I began on a series of attacks, each landing on Fierce Tiger’s shoulders!
“279!”
“300!”
“264!”
Lowering my body posture, I rammed into Fierce Tiger, knocking him back. Although his health points had already reached zero, his body was still there. Before dying, he still had to eat my final [Wind Blade]!
“Ka cha…”
The sword’s edge tore apart his armor, and a large damage number burst out–
“877!”
The attack wasn’t a fatal one so it was lower compared to attacks from Fierce Tiger. Fierce Tiger slumped to the floor, blood flowing non-stop from his body. He had lost the sparring match.
……
Reappearing outside the dueling ring, Fierce Tiger lowered his battle axe and his original arrogant attitude disappeared. Staring dumbfoundedly at me, he lowered his voice and murmured, “You… Just who are you?!”
