Chapter 664 – Revenge (1/2)
Chapter 664 - Revenge
I suddenly shrugged my shoulders and ran in a zigzag, dodging Q-Sword’s heavy strike. It was like a real duel. I spun around, raising a knee and landed a heavy kick on to Q-Sword’s back. At the same time he also turned his head around and his sword clashed against my brilliant fire emperor. Both of us didn't take much damage as we passed by each other and increased the distance between us.
“Hu hu…..”
It took a little concentration to calm my breaths. I looked at Q-Sword. we were both trying to feel out each other’s battle style. I didn't use any of my skills. After all who knows how much Q-Sword has improved since last time. If I used a skill and was interrupted like last time I would immediately be at a disadvantage.
I slightly raised my hand and my Brilliant Fire Emperor flew into the air. It flipped in the air and turned into a whirlwind.The effect from blade spin rushed at Q sword.The long-distance type physical attack could not be interrupted successfully. The crucial point to my victory was to whittle down his health and to kill him in the end in one go. After all, it’ll be heartbreaking to lose a million RMB.
Q-Sword pushed off the ground and continuously shifted his position using an s-shape to dodge the attack from the blade spin.
S shaped movement, one of the most basic types of movement. Everyone knew that it was the best type of movement for dodging any straight line attacks. After all an s-shaped movement was very difficult for a straight line long ranged attack to follow.
“Shua!”
I grabbed my sword from the air andsuddenly appeared in Q-Swords path. Flames fell down the Brilliant Fire Emperor.“Keng”the attack was blockedhowever my Dragon Reservoir sword was already in position for another attack. Dou Qibegan to gather around me. even though the two attacks were just normal attacks they still had a burn effect. Within moments I activated a 7 strike combo!
Q-Sword raised his sword with one hand and was only able to block the first 5 attacks. as for the last two he could only take them head-on in a defensive stance. At that moment two damage numbers flew up
“4112！”
“3918！”
My attack power was just too high so there was no way that he could completely defend against it. Q-Sword has lost around 25% of his health. Looks like, in a situation without a mount, he still had around 30,000 health.It wouldn't be that easy to kill him.
His eyes had a chilling calm to them.Q-Sword suddenly retreated several steps. He maintained the natural qualities of a top-tier expert by staying back. He suddenly raised his long sword. Flames begin to rise around the blade and he plunged his blade into the ground. A pack of enormous flame wolves suddenly appeared behind him. This was his S tier skill, [Destruction Wolf Formation].
I stomped against the ground.”Peng” A wave of frost energy suddenly poured forward, [Ice Domain]
“MISS！”
Unfortunately, I didn’t seal Q-Sword in ice.
Taking on the attacks from the skill I continued charging forward like crazy. I raised my Dragon Reservoir Sword and threw a [Seven Star Fragment Slash]. Right afterwards, I swung my two swords and activated [Sword Tempest]. The two of us had already begun an explosive match of AOE attacks.
After [Sword Tempest] was complete, I managed to pull closer to Q-Sword. The Brilliant Fire Emperor shot out. Q-Sword could only use his Nation Suppressing Sword to block. At the same time, an image of a fierce tiger appeared above the Nation Suppressing Sword. It was first moves of Q-Sword’s [Fierce Tiger Burst]. He roared, and activated the skill. However, at the same time, a crimson light flashed above his left arm. It was the effects from [Afterglow Slash]!
These past few days I’d been pouring over all of the recordings of Q-Sword’s battles. His average targeting time was 0.5 seconds. The attack had a 1.5 second stun effect on its targets. This was Q-Sword’s battle style. He would trick his opponent’s by starting off with [Fierce Tiger Burst] while the real critical attack was the [Afterglow Slash] that followed it!
I didn’t hesitate at all and took the attack head on!
My Dragon Reservoir Sword danced out with frost energy radiating from the blade. Right as the [Fierce Tiger Burst] struck my chest, my [Fierce Ice Blade] pierced through Q-Sword’s chest. Two damage numbers flew up instantly——
“10022！”
“12117！”
……
Fierce Ice Blade decreases the target’s movement speed by 50%. This also meant that his [Afterglow Slash]’s targeting period was now0.75 seconds long. The most optimal period of time for breaking the skill was 0.52 seconds or so. Furthermore, Q-Sword had just stepped into a stance. It was the standard horse stance*. His center of gravity was focused on his lower body while his strength came from his right arm.
In that split second I made my decision. I sprinted forward and in that 0.52 second time period, my Brilliant Flame Emperor rammed into the tip of his Nation Suppressing Sword, decreasing the force behind the [Afterglow Slash] by at least 40%. At the same time, I raised my right leg. “Pa!” I dug it into Q-Sword’s left ankle. The second he lost balance, I cut through and sliced into his right arm!
“Peng!”
A blue light flashed around us and three big words flew up——
“Successful Skill Break!”
……
“What? How is that possible!!?”
Q-Sword’s expression turned ugly. His body had now entered into a short stun period from the successful skill break. I took the chance to pull close and deal two [Blade Rush]es into Q-Sword’s body and finally dealt a level 11 combo!
At the same time, Q-Sword awoke from his stun state. He quickly dashed to the right, dodging the [Combo]. At the same time, he swept out his sword. “Keng!” He had slammed it right into the center of my sword during the final attack of the [Combo]. At the same time, he dipped forward and rammed into my right arm!
“Peng!”
“Successful Skill Break!”
What stunned me was that even with a skill like [Combo] that had such a fast rhythm, Q-Sword was actually able to break through it. This type of reaction time and judgement was something only a master player would have
Taking advantage of my sluggish movements, Q-Sword threw a [Hawk Slash]. Light began to rise from his feet and he used a [Combo]——[Six Directional Thunder]
……
Heavy hits smacked into my body and my health plummeted. I quickly activated my Halberd Flame] special skill during my sluggish movement. I was putting it all on the line now. For a short time, I couldn’t activate [Hand of Purgatory]. Q-Sword’s attacks were so fierce that it would be impossible to lock on any sort of special attack. However, I could clearly see all of Q-Sword’s attack patterns. [Six Directional Thunder]’s first five attacks took a total of 0.7 seconds, while the last 0.7 seconds was the targeting time for the sixth attack [Flame Axe]. That was the most powerful attack in the [Combo].
I glance at my health. There was only 11,000. There was no time for a [Cleansing Rain].
Without any hesitation, I dashed forward. Before Q-Sword activated [Flame Axe] I had been waiting for the opportunity. I swept out my Brilliant Flame Emperor. “Keng!” it rammed into the Nation Suppressing Sword. At the same time, the hilt then rammed into the center of Q-Sword’s arm. I was using both swords. With incredible speed and precision, I struck out both swords and knocked them into Q-Sword’s right arm.
“Peng!”
A blue light burst forward and three big blue words appeared——
“Successful Skill Break!”
