520 Chapter 520 - An Expert in Real Comba (1/2)

”What's the situation? What's happening? Let me see!” Two men were standing atop a roof several streets away from that street. They were the Priest Young Master Han and Knight Brother Assist; the latter was wearing an anxious expression as he yelled at the side.

Young Master Han heard him and casually handed the spyglass over to him, looking thoughtful.

”Who the heck would start drinking so early in the morning?!” Brother Assist swept his gaze past the man's right hand, which was lightly swirling a glass of liquor, when he took that spyglass over. They were at the tavern where he had been drinking liquor, so Young Master Han directly took the glass along as he went up to the roof. It was about 6:30 in the morning, so most of the patrons in the establishment were there to rest up; at the moment, not many were drinking in the tavern.

”An alcohol aficionado, of course!” Young Master Han answered as he raised that glass and quaffed it at one go.

”Are you planning to return this thing back?” Brother Assist took her eyes off the spyglass and asked.

”I already forgot who owns it,” Young Master Han answered.

”Tut tut...” Brother Assist adjusted the angle and asked, ”Where are they?”

Young Master Han lifted his hand and jerked his head in a direction, and Brother Assist hummed before asking, ”Hey! Where are they? Didn't you say that there's a whole bunch of them?”

”That was then. They're all dead now,” Young Master Han replied.

”Was it Miles? He's really getting stronger and stronger…” Brother Assist's heart trembled slightly as he said this. It was no more than two minutes since Young Master Han last saw the two parties clash.

”You should already know this, but when going up against such commoners, he has never once gotten serious before. The phrase he often says, 'Easy as pie' isn't just a jest; he's sincerely stating the facts,” Young Master Han replied.

”Is that guy Broken Water Arrow?” Brother Assist asked.

”Yeah!”

”What stance is that?” Brother Assist was wondering when he suddenly yelled, ”He's on the offensive!”

In that moment when he shouted that, the spyglass was no longer in his hands as Young Master Han snatched it over and began to observe the clash.

”Bro!” Brother Assist felt like crying yet no tears came out. He was barely able to get a few glimpses in when all was well, but the spyglass was gone the moment something exciting happened; Brother Assist felt as if he were being bullied like a miserable and shabby scholar. Speaking of which, he was a Dark Knight, so he should not have difficulties taking down a Light Priest, but the problem was that he did not have the guts to do it. Even though the man before him was a Light Priest, his heart was at a frightening state of black.

Back on that street the two men were watching, the fighting had indeed resumed.

Surprisingly, it was neither Gu Fei nor Broken Water Arrow who had made the first move but Sword Demon, instead.

Gu Fei and Broken Water Arrow were focused on each other, causing this situation to turn into a duel. Sword Demon was determined to make his existence known, so he suddenly activated his Shadowmist Assault and dashed brusquely toward Broken Water Arrow.

However, Broken Water Arrow did not seem to be perturbed by this sudden attack. In that instant when Sword Demon acted, he made his move as well and swiftly took a step to his left.

Gu Fei sighed. While the distance that Sword Demon's Shadowmist Assault could cover was what gave the skill its destructive power and impetus, it was also one of its weaknesses. Considering that this charge was not instantaneous like Blink, no matter how quick his movement speed was, it would never be quicker than a stab from an arm extension.

When encountering such a high-speed movement and the two-second invisibility for the first time, people would probably find it difficult to defend themselves effectively against it. However, after experiencing it once and being able to mentally prepare themselves for such an attack, Gu Fei and other kung fu practitioners like him would not find it to be as scary as that first time. It all depended on how Sword Demon would modify his attack, predict a response, and utilize that two-second of invisibility.

All that would require experience and technique; it was something that took Gu Fei 20 years of cumulative and methodical learning to cultivate such a standard. For a gamer like Sword Demon who had only played around with a mouse and keyboard in other MMOs, forget about playing for 20 years, Gu Fei did not even think there would be much of a difference in skill between Sword Demon and any random aunt that sold onions by the roadside.

Seeing the action Broken Water Arrow had taken, Gu Fei already knew better than to be too optimistic with Sword Demon's attempt.
