Chapter 335 – Duel between the Masters (2/2)
Less than 7 seconds later, the sounds of battle started again. The cooldowns for each of their skills were almost over. This was the only thing they had been waiting for.
They picked up speed almost simultaneously. The two charged at each other, each swinging their sword at a different angle as they clashed. Jian Feng Han violently knocked away his opponent, then turned around as his other hand punched right into Q-Sword’s back, the essence of the School of Penetrating Fists*. “Bang!” it was a critical hit which took 900+ from the opponent’s health. Q-Sword’s blade also turned and “Ka Cha!” took 1500+ of Jian Feng Han’s health.
TL Note: School of Martial Arts in the Real World
“Bang!”
Jian Feng Han suddenly kicked away Q-Sword’s sword hand and with a [Skyshaker Slash], cut right into Q-Sword’s.
“2762！”
Under extreme pain, Q-Sword quickly gulped down a Lv 10 potion. With a flash of his blade, his [Fierce Tiger Burst] exploded and took out 3219 of Jian Feng Han’s health. At the same time, his battle boots stomped across the ground and “Hum” a burst of light began to envelop his entire body forming an imposing flame armor. It was an S tier skill, [Spark Armor] and for 7 seconds, his defense was raised by 60%!
Jian Feng Han’s eyes turned cold; he was about to release his trump card. The Flaming Cloud Sword jolted and [Corrupt Wolf’s Edge] began to activate. After all, it was a long ranged skill that ignored the target’s defense!
“1838！”
Jian Feng Han’s body abruptly lowered as he quickened his steps towards Q-Sword. In order to make him lose balance, he lifted his battle boots and kicked at Q-Sword’s stomach, effectively sending the [Hero’s Mound] guildmaster flying a dozen meters away. He then raised his blade and shot another long range attack – [Through the Clouds Slash]!
“1532！”
Unfortunately, Q-Sword still had a sliver of health left and miserably climbed out of a pile of rubble. With both hands, he supported himself up with his sword, then suddenly leapt up. The shape of a giant hawk suddenly began to form so rapidly that the naked eye couldn’t catch it moving. “Shua!” It dived down right at Jian Feng Han’s head and like a sword, its beak slashed through his neck, leaving a bloody mark and a large damage number –
“3717！”
[Hawk Slash], an S-tier custom skill, it was Q-Sword’s unique skill……
Jian Feng Han barely had 2000 health left and also miserably stood up. He felt a shiver behind him as his and Q-Sword’s blade suddenly passed each other, bringing out two big MISS-ess. At the same time, Q-Sword’s feet were suddenly filled with energy and multiple attacks were activated. With a [Blade Rush] he penetrated Jian Feng Han’s chest plate!
“Plop…..”
The [Vanguard] guildmaster, a prodigy, knelt to the ground and defiantly gripped onto his Flaming Cloud Sword. He felt an unspeakable resentment and frustration as he saw that Q-Sword had less than 100 health. However, a tournament is a tournament, and losing was losing, there were no “ifs”.
……
1:0, Q-Sword rose victorious in the first round!
After that entire round, people were stupefied. The rhythm of their attacks was so swift that it was terrifying and they continuously dodged multiple attacks with their quick reflexes and blocks. Afterwards, each used their own special skills. This was the essence of battle flow manipulation; adapting and improving throughout the battle, lifesteal and drinking health potions. However, these two were both experts at controlling the fight, they won’t need more than a few minutes to analyze the situation. The battle between the two lasted 21 seconds, with every strike that landed drawing blood.
On the stage, Q-Sword lifted his sword and summoned Frost Beast again. Jian Feng Han was sent back onto the stage and calmly looked at Q-Sword. They both stayed silent without saying a single word. While it was a boring scene to watch, no one can deny that it would lead up to a spectacular duel. The way real Master class players communicate can only be through battles.
“Keng!”
Flame Cloud Sword unsheathed again. Jian Feng Han and his Rock Spirit Fighter advanced forward together. The User-Pet Isolation tactic was something both Q-Sword and Jian Feng Han was very familiar with. However, like Jian Feng Han right now, sometimes users do not care for such tactics and instead, go all out and attack from the front.
The swords collided and Q-Sword quickly slashed Jian Feng Han’s shoulders. His armor fluttered; the Frost Beast started to attack as well. Jian Feng Han successfully parried 4 attacks and sent 3 of his owns attack to Q-Sword. While displaying his exquisite parrying techniques, Q-Sword chugged down a health potion. Sometimes in the midst of battle, whoever drinks potion first will usually lose. This has became an unstated rule.
Of course, due to his speed, Q-Sword was an exception.
“Puchi”
With a sudden attack, Q-Sword sent his sword straight through Jian Feng Han’s chest. While covered in blood, he said, “[Destruction Wolf Formation]!”
“What!?”
Jian Feng Han’s pupils suddenly shrank. He noticed that 10 meters behind Q Sword was a giant wolf head gathering energy and rushing forward. “Bang Bang Bang” Three consecutive attacks landed on Jian Feng Han not even giving him a chance to drink his health potion.
Q Sword was looking for an opportunity to attack. An opportunity created by Jian Feng Han’s cold blooded attitude. This allowed Q Sword to finish Jian Feng Han in one attack.
……
Shua!
Jian Feng Han was sent out by a white light. The guild leader of [Vanguard] had been eliminated from the [Rise of Heroes] tournament!
After being sent out, Jian Feng Han held his Flaming Cloud Sword with his chest down breathing heavily. He still had not recovered from the battle. He helplessly looked at Simple and then at Yan Zhao Warrior on the side.
Yan Zhao Warrior was leaning on the wall and smiled. “Just now, didn’t a certain someone from [Vanguard] laugh at me because I was so easily defeated by Xiao Yao Zi Zai? Seems like someone got 2-0’d by Q Sword. What happened?”
Jian Feng Han’s face turned green. “You!!!”
