Chapter 323: Miaomiaos Combat Habit (2/2)
”Uh-oh.”
”Yikes.”
Liu Guang dryly laughed. She leaped backward, jumping into the portal.
Seeing how his slave was smart enough to leave this realm when they were attacked, Miaomiao chuckled in satisfaction. However, it irked him since she basically abandoned everybody here without hesitation.
”Well, being smart can be cruel,” Miaomiao tilted his head from side to side, and the bone joint cracking sound was audible. Then, he shuttled to the sky, avoiding the ground as death knights could attack him from the subterrain.
Still, being in the sky drew attention from other death knights. Five bone warriors expanded their domain and put Miaomiao within their range.
Two red energy swords appeared from Miaomiao's palms. He held and waved them around. At the same time, Killer Queen operated separately, flying around and charged at the nearest death knights.
A dark spear appeared behind Miaomiao's back.
VHOOM
The red lightsaber suddenly changed color into golden light as Miaomiao injected light element Qi into his energy swords. He rotated and deflected the spear.
However, instead of sending the spear away, the light sword disintegrated the shadow spear.
Seven shadow spears manifested and surrounded Miaomiao. One of the death knights also rushed him.
Still, in a relaxed manner, Miaomiao sighed in boredom. He floated backward while he faced the charging death knight. At the same time, he activated a system skill to leave a clone behind to replace his real body. As for his real self, he became invisible with the mermaid stealth skill.
Seven spears accelerated, three spears from the back, one from above, one from below, and two from the front.
The clone's eyes flared in red light. His hands blurred while light swords created golden afterimages.
Death Sword Fortress Style, Projectile Devourer
Seven black spears disintegrated in an instant.
But the chasing death knights already got close. The skeleton's face of the knight was clearly visible in front of Miaomiao.
Suddenly, it laughed and activated the dark domain, shrouding everything in the range of 100 meters into complete darkness.
Miaomiao's clone raised his eyes as his Qi sense was disable under the darkness. Yet, his instinct cried that a strike was coming from his right side, aiming for his temple.
PFSHHHH
A golden light flashed and the lightsaber hit an object. The clone's right energy sword hit an energy barrier, surrounding the death knight.
Another energy spear appeared above Miaomiao's head and descended.
WHOOSH
The spear went through the head and exited from his toes, but the clone's body turned into smoke.
The real body reappeared behind the death knight. The invisible man had been sneaking around to avoid attention, but he lost to his urge to kill somebody.
Miaomiao's palm touched the back of the death knight's head.
Bomb Transmutation!
BOOM
Dragon Fire Element entered the death knight's skull and incinerated it on fire. The flame expanded and devoured the skeleton body in an instant.
After the death knight was gone, the darkness domain was dispelled. Miaomiao regained his sight and his Qi sense.
But three more death knights already surrounded him and swung their swords.
A black katana suddenly descended and punctured through one of the three dead knights. The blade got stuck in the skull, but the talking sword laughed.
[MINE!]
The death knight's Qi and Essence, including all sinister Qi, vanished in an instant.
At the same time, Miaomiao also let his body fall from the sky, dodging the slash attacks.
The slashes missed, but one of the knights activated their darkness domain while the other created a shadow domain. Their power overlapped each other!
But a rotating giant golden axe flew toward one of them, cleaving the torso and left behind the golden flame.
The injured death knight disintegrated and the darkness domain was dispelled yet again.
FKSHHHHHK
Miaomiao's flying lightsaber also punctured through the spine of the remaining death knight and exited through its skull. Another bone was turned into dust.
Miaomiao landed on the ground and patted his shoulder. He cracked his knuckles as he planned to get serious.
Fogan also landed next to him.
”Junior Mao, are you alright?”
Seeing how Miaomiao performed in real combat, Fogan was uncertain if this young man need help against the 7th-stage death knights. There were many close calls in the brief 10 seconds after the light barrier had been broken.
”Ah, I was warming up. It takes a while before my dantian is ready.”
”Then, it's too late,” Fogan snickered and pointed at the sky. ”The realm is cleared. You just killed the last one.”
”Already?” Miaomiao was disappointed. He had planned to measure the death knight's strength and compare it with clones in ITS.
Although from the previous skirmish, Miaomiao believed that their potential level should be somewhere between five to ten percent of ITS difficulty. The attacks of these undead creatures were blunt and direct. Even if they coordinated well, they failed to use their shadow element Qi and death Qi efficiently.
Fogan smiled, ”These things are without a master, so they are even weaker than average 5th-stage cultivators with advanced element Qi. Even if they can create domains, they lacked proper techniques, tactics, and a variety of attack patterns. Had you fought a real 7th-stage cultivator, you would have died seven times during that exchange.”
”True.”
Miaomiao scratched his cheek in embarrassment. The exchange was too fast, and he didn't even use several good techniques, such as killing domain, elemental domain, SLB, or various system skills.
In the end, Miaomiao created a handicap for himself by limiting his abilities to fencing techniques and light element energy swords in a real fight, excluding the clone skill and Killer Queen's skill. It was not a good habit since he might die before he revealed his true skills in the future.
Miaomiao reevaluated his combat experience again. It seemed that he had developed a habit of overusing basic techniques because of his training routines and the frequent combat against armies of ITS clones. It was the time that he added some more techniques to the fight.
'After this, I should practice fighting with my full strength. It should be about time that I add more skills to the training other than killing domain, basic fencing, and weapon throwing.'
”Let's go bring Liu Guang back.”
Fogan and Miaomiao landed on the ground and exited the portal to fetch Liu Guang.
Now that the realm had been cleared, it was the time to summon the Liu Clan's Vault.
