Chapter 430 Fierce Fight
The left arm? Scarlet managed to figure out where the arrow would land. Immediately, she tried to turn left to dodge the arrow, but the next moment, her pupils suddenly contracted.
Zhang Heng released the bowstring, and the Paris Arrow curved along a weird trajectory that defied the laws of physics, catching Scarlet off guard. The three ordinary arrows shot before this were to confuse her. Zhang Heng unleashed his Paris Arrow finally revealed his true color the moment he shot the Paris Arrow.
This was the arrow that would determine it all!
However, this time, it was Zhang Heng’s turn to be shocked. Scarlet brandished her katana into the air, drawing an arc. She twitched her head a little and pushed the Paris Arrow knocking it slightly to the right before it actually hit her. It grazed her cheek, leaving a long wound that blood slowly oozed out from. Simultaneously, the Paris Arrow’s powerful trajectory correction function turned it around, and it was now flying towards the back of Scarlet’s head.
However, it had lost most of its kinetic energy, and Scarlet managed to catch it firmly with one hand. Before she could even catch a breath, a blade struck at her again. It was never Zhang Heng’s style to greet before a battle. The moment Scarlet attempted to kill Edward, she had indirectly told everyone who she was without saying a word.
On the second floor of the parking lot, two people were locked in battle, giving their best to dodge each others’ attacks. Scarlet panted with labored gasps, feeling the uncomfortable sting when sweat dripped into her eyes. However, what disturbed her even more was Zhang Heng’s relentless attacks. Ever since she acquired the Mikazuki Munechika, she had s.h.i.+fted all her focus on mastering katana. Soon after that, she started delving into close-quarters combat, realizing her forte as she went on.
Players killed by this katana had reached double-digits, and the name Scarlet gradually spread among the player circle.
This was the first time she encountered such a difficult opponent. Although Zhang Heng was using a blade to fight just like her, his close-quarters combat skills were far superior. At the same time, he exuded this faint domineering aura.
She realized that such skills on the blade couldn’t have been mastered in a few years. There was nothing fancy about his techniques, yet, his every calculated strike carried the intention of killing her. They were crude, yet lethal. She would have lost the battle by now if it weren’t for the Mikazuki Munechika.
Deep down inside, Scarlet knew that if as her opponent was holding an ordinary saber instead of a dagger, she had no chance of winning. Even with such an unrefined weapon, he’d already managed to push her to the brink of defeat.
Then, Zhang Heng stopped unexpectedly.
It wasn’t because he couldn’t bear fighting with her anymore. He knew very well that the blade in his hand was almost at its limit. After clas.h.i.+ng multiple times with Scarlet’s hotshot weapon, it was riddled with cracks. Scarlet’s katana, on the other hand, seemed to suffer virtually no damage. Such was the difference in quality between an off the shelf product and a finely crafted work of art.
After fighting with Scarlet for a while, Zhang Heng figured out that her katana must be a game item. She must have dodged his Paris Arrow, not out of sheer luck, but due to the katana. During the battle, he clearly outshone her techniques and skills, but every single time, she somehow managed to neutralize Zhang Heng’s lethal blow. She only lasted until now, thanks to the ‘magical’ sword.
Semiprime and Edward, on the other side, were utterly dumbfounded. They had never seen anyone fight like this before.
“You guys leave first, don’t wait for me.”
Immediately, the two snapped out from their stupor. Edward got out of Dacia Sandro and got into Semiprime’s car. There was no reaction on Scarlet’s face. She knew that Zhang Heng was there. In other words, she couldn’t capture or kill Edward.
