Chapter 654
The timer ticked down as the surrounding noise died down . Finally, everyone zipped their mothers and they watched with absolute silence .
The spectators subconsciously slowed down their breathing and they focused on this match lest they miss a single moment due to blinking . n.o.body questioned the profiles of the fighter, they are both legends in their own rights .
The KoBs forgot to keep an eye on the spectators . They kept glancing and peeking at the center of this arena . Asuna glanced between the two with a worried look, she clenched her fists . Only Asuna knows who she is really worried about .
A gale blew by and the playful wind ruffled their hair and clothing . At last, it’s now 10 seconds before the duel starts, the arena is dead silent now…
5…

2…
1…
0 .
A clear ring came and the two players moved at the same time!
The two smashed together in an instant, reducing the 5 meters distance to 0 in less than a second .
Clang
Two swords exchanged sparks in a brilliant clash . Their collisions stirred up a gale . It took the spectators more than a few seconds to realize that the two players had already started fighting .
The sparks kept coming as one large sword and one relatively smaller sword ground against each other . Shrill noise like someone sc.r.a.pping a nail across a piece of gla.s.s reverberated in everyone’s ears . It looks like a stalemate, a look at the fighters’ expression will prove otherwise .
Wu Yan grinned when he saw Heathcliff’s slightly unsightly look . He exerted more strength and Heaven Gazer pressed down on Heathcliff . The power exploded and Heathcliff flew back from the force .
Heathcliff gnashed his teeth as he steadied himself . His expression turned grave .
“Very strong…”
“Strong?”
Wu Yan chuckled . He instantly appeared in front of Heathcliff . Heathcliff’s eyes widened in shock .
“Are you sure it’s just my strength?”
As soon as he said that, a strong wind approached Heathcliff . Blocking in the nick of time, a dull thud rang and Heathcliff got sent back by a few steps again .
As for Wu Yan, he is pointing his blade at Heathcliff in a stance ready to strike again . Heathcliff is spotting a very grim look .
In two brief attacks, Wu Yan emerged unharmed while Heathcliff lost a bit of HP .
Wu Yan appeared to be the one with the upper hand here .
“Oohhhhh!!!”
The players cheered out loud . They are lauding him for not disappointing them .
“He’s so strong…”
Asuna mumbled .
“Even the Captain’s defense isn’t enough to block his damage entirely . Yan-kun, you are strong, just as expected…”
“It appears I have underestimated you…”
Heathcliff sighed . He still looked very tense .
“You have high strength and agility . You also have a very quick response time, I miscalculated my tactics…”
Wu Yan mused out loud .
“Are you going to surrender?”
“Ahaha…”
Heathcliff laughed slightly . He raised the s.h.i.+eld in his left hand and he took a stance .
“I am still a leader of a guild, I can’t surrender so easily!”
“Then let’s resume…”
Wu Yan licked his lips .
“Let’s enjoy this and fight like our lives are on the line!”
Heathcliff hid most of his face behind his s.h.i.+eld . He charged at Wu Yan with quick footsteps .
Wu Yan stopped smiling, His sword flashed bright blue . Heathcliff raised his guard because Wu Yan is about to use a Sword Skill!
He is vigilant but he never stopped charging towards Wu Yan . Wu Yan waited for Heathcliff to come to him before he let loose his Heaven Gazer .
Heathcliff kept his eyes on the black sword which looked like it was aimed at his s.h.i.+eld . With Wu Yan’s STR, it’s possible that he would get hurt if he tried to block this attack . Instead, Heathcliff chose to evade .
He stopped his dash almost instantly and he spun around to Wu Yan’s side, Heaven Gazer missed him by just a bit and Heathcliff did another drastic spin to slash Wu Yan .
Bam
Wu Yan smacked Heathcliff’s s.h.i.+eld away with his arm . Staggered by this deflection, he revealed Heathcliff and he swiped at him with a Sword Skill .
Still recovering, Heathcliff looked like he would get hit and he certainly looked very fl.u.s.tered . Just a split-second later, he returned to a very calm state .
At the most critical juncture, Heathcliff recovered from his stunned state in a fas.h.i.+on that defied real-world physics . It’s like time stopped for everyone but Heathcliff .
Wu Yan’s eyes rippled .
Bam
The s.h.i.+eld and sword met and the two pushed each other away .
Wu Yan a.s.sessed the confrontation just now . That was an impossible move from a gamer’s perspective, he looked like he would fall but he suddenly recovered and his s.h.i.+eld even looked like it teleported back into a guarding state . Heathcliff probably abused his administrator privileges to remove the game system’s limitation on movements .
Finally, he used his cheat .
He swung Heaven Gazer once more and this time, he used even more power than before, each attack was as fierce if not fiercer than the attack before .
Dong
Heathcliff felt like he’s fighting a leviathan . He can’t even hold his ground properly . Being pushed further and further back is the only thing he can do right now . With another smack, he drew lines in the ground before he looked at Wu Yan like he’s looking at a monster in human form .
“That power, you weren’t using your full power…”
“I am still far from being on your level!”
Wu Yan smiled with a cold glint in his eyes .
“You blocked my attack despite the obstacles in your way . Your attack speed is obviously higher than mine…”
Heathcliff stood up and he looked at Wu Yan .
“Well, what are you going to do now? Your attack speed isn’t enough to land a clean hit on me…”
“Hmm…”
Wu Yan lowered his head . Then, he raised his head with a bright bulb on his head .
“I just need to exceed your attack speed!”
Not giving Heathcliff a second to retort, Wu Yan pulled out another sword .
Heathcliff’s pupils shrank!
