Chapter 702: Sudden Change
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xiao Xiang Sword and co. were all top experts so they would naturally notice that w.a.n.g Yu was trying to escape in midair. The three of them subconsciously turned around to attack w.a.n.g Yu.
Simultaneously, w.a.n.g Yu pestled the ground as his entire body rotated around the axis and executed a double kick. He accurately stepped on the bodies of Xiao Xiang Sword and the two others.
Because of the great timing of arrival of Xiao Xiang Sword and the two others, w.a.n.g Yu was able to step on them to rise even further and higher up. After one round of kicking, w.a.n.g Yu managed to rise over two metres and coincidentally avoided the range of Fist of Heaven’s Heaven Ascending Array.
“F*ck! Dodged it too?” Fist of Heaven cried out helplessly when he saw how w.a.n.g Yu performed a narrow escape to survive by the skin of his teeth in such an unfavourable circ.u.mstance.
Fist of Heaven only executed his Heaven Ascending Array when he saw w.a.n.g Yu falling from the s.h.i.+eld. Time’s s.h.i.+eld was raised about two metres above the ground so free-falling from this height would only take a second. In contrast, the execution of Heaven Ascending Array was also only one second.
Players wouldn’t be able to move freely in mid-air which meant to say that w.a.n.g Yu should have no time to dodge. All he could do in that situation was to await his death helplessly.
However, the one second was enough for w.a.n.g Yu to change his weapons midair and step on the incoming enemies to dodge the Heaven Ascending Array perfectly. It was so perfect that it looked rehea.r.s.ed.
What kind of insane reaction and combat instinct was this?!
One must know that Fist of Heaven was someone who dared to offend a top expert like Sanguine Rain. Therefore, he was most definitely another proud and arrogant person who wouldn’t bow down to anyone. Presently, w.a.n.g Yu was, however, a person he knew he could never surpa.s.s in his heart.
Xiao Xiang Sword and the two others, who were treated as w.a.n.g Yu’s stepping stones, were also incredibly astonished when they saw w.a.n.g Yu’s extreme movements. However, they were still experts who knew what their task at hand was. Even though they might be shocked, they didn’t stop moving. The three of them wielded their large swords as they slashed towards w.a.n.g Yu.
When w.a.n.g Yu saw that three of them were attacking him, he struck the ground with his pole using tremendous power as his body flew even higher. Concurrently, he changed his weapon back to his gloves set. He changed direction in the air as he used [Crus.h.i.+ng Blow] towards Captain Don’t Open Fire.
Xiao Xiang Sword shouted in astonishment, “Boss, use Devilish Witchcraft Vine!”
The reason why w.a.n.g Yu chose to attack Captain Don’t Open Fire first was not solely because he was Void Blade’s leader. It was also because he was a Shaman too.
After being in the Quan Zhen Sect for such a long time, w.a.n.g Yu was extremely cautious when dealing with Shamans because of the influence of Spring Halo. This job was despicable enough to deal with a flexible and agile Pugilist.
When Xiao Xiang Sword saw that w.a.n.g Yu was attacking Captain Don’t Open Fire, he immediately ordered Captain Don’t Open Fire. This shocked w.a.n.g Yu.
[Devilish Witchcraft Vine] was a protective skill of a Shaman which basically summoned vines to twine around oneself. Within 4.2 seconds, the user would not be harmed and at the same time, the person attacking the vines would suffer the anti-shock damage which would eventually result in the fester effect.
w.a.n.g Yu wasn’t afraid of the anti-shock damage but the fester effect was an extremely disgusting toxic control. Not only would the speed decrease by 60%, one would lose health every second too. Being festered under such circ.u.mstances would be a true headache.
However, w.a.n.g Yu and Xiao Xiang Sword overthought this. Most of a Shaman’s skills were non-directional so it required the players to have a high level of cultivation. Ordinary players wouldn’t be able to be successful in this job.
Even though there were quite a few Shamans in <>, there were definitely less than three players who had reached Spring Halo’s level as a Shaman.
“???”
When Captain Don’t Open Fire saw w.a.n.g Yu flying towards himself, he was scared out of his wits. He even forgot the name of the skill so his face was filled with question marks when Xiao Xiang Sword shouted at him.
At this point in time, Time turned and used his s.h.i.+eld to block in front of Captain Don’t Open Fire.
“Great block!” w.a.n.g Yu complimented as he dismissed his [Crus.h.i.+ng Blow] before releasing his [Rippling Wave]. Using the backlash of [Rippling Wave], w.a.n.g Yu flipped backwards and landed on the ground.
After escaping a close shave, Captain Don’t Open Fire asked, “Xiao Xiang Sword, what did you say earlier?”
“Nothing…” Xiao Xiang Sword was on the verge of tears. It seemed like he couldn’t depend on his useless teammates and needed to act himself.
When Time saw that w.a.n.g Yu landed on the ground, he hurriedly asked Xiao Xiang Sword, “Sword, use your Tornado Slas.h.!.+”
Xiao Xiang Sword and the two others already saw that w.a.n.g Yu was landing towards their side. Before Time could finish his sentence, the three of them used [Tornado Slash] at w.a.n.g Yu.
w.a.n.g Yu’s four limbs pressed against the ground and by exerting energy, he moved forward instead of retreating. He charged towards the three of them while sticking to the ground.
The loophole in [Tornado Slash] was the lower half of the body. w.a.n.g Yu’s long pole was extended forward as it disrupted one of the Warrior’s [Tornado Slash].
The effect of energy was mutual so when w.a.n.g Yu’s pole was stuck between the Warrior’s legs, the tremendous force caused w.a.n.g Yu’s body to twist. w.a.n.g Yu’s legs overlapped each other as it struck the other Warrior’s back of the knees with lightning. Under the incredible judgement of [Thunder G.o.d’s Stomp], that Warrior fell right to the ground.
When Xiao Xiang Sword saw that both his comrades’ [Tornado Slash] were disrupted in succession, he hurriedly cancelled his skill too. Both his swords brought along the sound of wind as it was swung towards w.a.n.g Yu.
w.a.n.g Yu raised his long pole to block the left sword. At the moment Xiao Xiang Sword’s right sword slashed towards w.a.n.g Yu, he took the opportunity to turn his body to the side. With w.a.n.g Yu’s long pole on the ground, Xiao Xiang Sword reacted quickly by extended both his swords towards the left and right. It didn’t take him long to twist his body and executed a horizontal slash across w.a.n.g Yu.
Horizontal Chain Slas.h.!.+
This was a level 35 skill of a double-handed Weapons Master. Because of the double-handed nature, one could execute multiple horizontal slashes within a short period of time.
A Warrior’s judgement was naturally high, let alone a peak grade Warrior like Xiao Xiang Sword.
“Clang! Clang! Clang!”
The sound of swords clas.h.i.+ng with pole could be heard as Xiao Xiang Sword’s double swords continuously struck against w.a.n.g Yu’s long pole. w.a.n.g Yu was instantly sent flying by the impact.
“I’ve finally hit him!”
After w.a.n.g Yu was sent flying, Xiao Xiang Sword couldn’t help but wipe his sweat and exclaim secretly.
Even though he faced w.a.n.g Yu several times before, Xiao Xiang Sword felt as though this Pugilist was so good that he couldn’t touch him at all. This was definitely unheard of as he had a peculiar way of attack and excellent ability to dodge. With his terrifying reaction to every circ.u.mstance, only slight negligence was all it took for him to dodge the attack.
With that many professional experts around and in ambush, this was the first time the opponent was struck. Just the thought of it was enough to have one’s hair stand on end.
At this moment, Xiao Xiang Sword finally asked why Sanguine Rain would rather Void Blade spend money to be done with this matter. To think about it now, he would make the same choice as Sanguine Rain.
During the time w.a.n.g Yu was fighting with Xiao Xiang Sword and the two others, the a.s.sa.s.sins in hiding had already rushed to the scene. Under [Stealth], they started moving towards w.a.n.g Yu.
The two Warriors with Xiao Xiang Sword was about to [Charge] over to provide support when they saw w.a.n.g Yu flying. However, they saw w.a.n.g Yu rolled on the ground and swung his long pole outwards.
At the same time, there was a crowd of a.s.sa.s.sins surrounding w.a.n.g Yu.
However, w.a.n.g Yu’s hand suddenly loosened up and a kacha sound was heard. Following that, w.a.n.g Yu’s face turned pale.
