Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 789 An Attack Both Real and Illusory
Everyone who saw Xue Yang being knocked back was completely baffled.
All they saw was Xue Yang accelerating towards Fire Dance, followed by a flash of silver light, and then Xue Yang retreating several steps to steady himself, his sword hand still trembling.
The situation, which should have been heavily in Xue Yang's favor, suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse, which was truly perplexing.
"Just who is that Fire Dance?" Zhan Wu Ji asked, his mouth agape.
Shui Se Rose was one thing, being a well-known newbie in the virtual gaming world and hailing from a super guild, but Fire Dance had never even been heard of before, yet she had forced Xue Yang, who was going all out, to retreat with just a single sword strike.
He truly couldn't believe it was real.
He himself found it extremely difficult to withstand Xue Yang's Phantom Sword, only able to use area-of-effect skills to meet it head-on, but Fire Dance had done it with just one sword.
No, it shouldn't be said as just one sword.
Because the entire space was filled with the trajectory of her sword, making it impossible to parry, and naturally rendering Xue Yang's Phantom Sword meaningless.
It could be said that Xue Yang's Phantom Sword was a joke in front of Fire Dance, or rather, a case of showing off one's axe before Lu Ban (attempting to display one's skill before an expert).
Zhan Wu Ji simply couldn't imagine how Fire Dance had done it.
Who could withstand such a sword?
"Has she already stepped into the realm of Microscopic Insight?" Bei Chen Tian Lang narrowed his eyes, also carefully scrutinizing Fire Dance on the arena. The sword strike she had unleashed earlier was truly stunning, and even he couldn't see through how that move worked. Faced with such an attack, he could only temporarily avoid its sharp edge, but all Fire Dance had shown was that she had made no extra movements when wielding the sword, and there was nothing special about it otherwise.
But such an ordinary sword strike could cause countless sword lights to appear in the entire space, the principle behind which was completely incomprehensible.
"Qingxue, look, Fire Dance repelled Xue Yang. What's going on?" Zhao Yue Ru asked Bai Qingxue, her small mouth wide open in surprise.
Bai Qingxue shook her head, her expression astonished, "I didn't see it either."
This was too shocking.
Bai Qingxue now understood why Shi Feng had been so confident. It turned out that Fire Dance had been holding back such strength all along.
However, compared to the shock of outsiders, the Zero Wing members were simply dumbfounded.
"When did Sister Fire Dance learn such a special skill?"
"What a powerful attack! We're sure to win this time!"
With one sword strike, starlight flickered, making it impossible to get close and defend against. The only way was to use ranged attacks or area-of-effect skills.
…
On the battle stage, Xue Yang's expression was solemn, but he wasn't a fool. He didn't think this was Fire Dance's ultimate skill, but rather a skill, so he charged forward again, using Phantom Sword.
"This move of yours is indeed powerful, but any skill has a cooldown time. I don't believe you can use it endlessly!" Xue Yang sneered.
Seeing several sword shadows about to pierce Fire Dance, Fire Dance didn't dodge or evade, but suddenly flicked her Thousand Transformations.
Bang!
Countless silver sword lights flashed, and Xue Yang was once again knocked back.
Shi Feng watched the dumbfounded Xue Yang and couldn't help but laugh inwardly.
The Fragmented Legendary Item was already far beyond the reach of other equipment in terms of attributes. Not only that, but the Fragmented Legendary Item weapon would also become stronger as the player's combat skills improved. Fire Dance's attack before hadn't been at full strength, and there were many unnecessary movements when wielding the sword, but after the previous sword strike without any unnecessary movements, the power of Thousand Transformations was revealed.
Seemingly real yet illusory!
Although it was just a single sword strike, all the sword lights were real. No matter which illusory sword light the enemy touched, it would turn into a real attack at the moment of contact.
Against Xue Yang's Phantom Sword, Fire Dance didn't need to think about how to defend. All she had to do was wield her sword.
And this simple sword wielding would turn into an attack that integrated offense and defense...
This was the swordsmanship that countless people pursued, but she had easily achieved it with the power of Thousand Transformations.
This was also why so many people frantically pursued Legendary weapons. Just a Fragmented Legendary Item had such power, so a Legendary weapon would be even more terrifying, otherwise there would be no way to challenge opponents of higher levels.
On the battle stage, Fire Dance charged straight at Xue Yang, wielding Thousand Transformations in rapid succession.
Countless sword lights flickered, and Xue Yang couldn't see which one was real, but it seemed that every sword light was real.
He was originally inferior to Fire Dance in speed, and Fire Dance's attacks were impossible to dodge. He could only grit his teeth and slash at them, but at the moment of touching the sword light, Xue Yang was knocked back several steps, his hands numb, and a damage number of over 200 appeared on his head.
But Fire Dance didn't stop attacking, but continued her frantic assault, and Xue Yang's HP was constantly decreasing.
The scene stunned everyone.
No one expected that an assassin could be so terrifying. Each swing of the dagger was like a combination of violence and beauty, and Xue Yang was completely suppressed.
"Xue Yang, I'll help you!" At this moment, Chang Hong on the battle stage also realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately entered stealth, rushing towards Fire Dance.
"I really underestimated you Asura Battle Team. I didn't expect the most powerful person in your Asura Battle Team to be you, but don't think you've won." Xue Yang was repeatedly beaten back by Fire Dance, and his HP was dropping rapidly. In less than thirty seconds, his ten thousand plus HP would be worn away.
Immediately, Xue Yang activated his burst skill, his attributes suddenly increased by a large margin, and even his HP soared from just over ten thousand to over 15,000. His whole body bloomed with a cyan halo, and the Epic-ranked weapon Daylight in his hand emitted a cyan sword radiance of more than two meters, greatly increasing Xue Yang's attack range, and he used Phantom Sword to stab at Fire Dance.
"See how you block this!" Xue Yang grinned hideously, full of confidence in his attack.
This was all because of the burst skill Sword Shadow Soaring to the Heavens, which could increase all attributes by 50% and attack speed by 80%, while also increasing attack range. At the same time, he had activated Daylight's skill Phantom Chain Attack, which made all his attacks unblockable and unparryable within 10 seconds.
Fire Dance was just an assassin, and her attack range was originally shorter than that of a swordsman. Now that his attack range had greatly increased, even if Fire Dance's dagger touched Daylight, Daylight's attack would ignore the dagger and attack Fire Dance's main body.
Suddenly, the sword light swept past Fire Dance's Thousand Transformations and landed directly on Fire Dance's body.
But Fire Dance suddenly turned into six, and Daylight slashed at Fire Dance's body, but only brushed past Fire Dance's body, without any feeling of hitting a solid object.
"Phantom Doppelganger?" Xue Yang's face turned cold. He didn't expect Fire Dance to have this move.
"Now it's my turn." Fire Dance smiled slightly.
Suddenly, six Fire Dances attacked Xue Yang from different directions.
Xue Yang immediately used Dual Swords Dance, but the sword light attacked all the Fire Dances around him, and none of them were harmed.
"Are they all fake?" Just as Xue Yang was thinking this.
Six Fire Dances also came in front of Xue Yang, surrounding Xue Yang, and at the same time raised Thousand Transformations and swung it fiercely.
Xue Yang didn't care at first and wanted to rush out of Fire Dance's doppelgangers, but he didn't know when a silver-white dagger pierced his heart from behind, and a damage number of 3481 appeared on his head.
"You're the real one!" Xue Yang reacted and turned around to slash at the Fire Dance behind him.
However, Daylight still directly passed through Fire Dance and didn't cause any damage to Fire Dance.
"Unfortunately, you guessed wrong." The Fire Dance guarding Xue Yang's left side pursed her lips and smiled, and with another sword strike, Xue Yang's HP dropped by a large amount again, instantly losing more than 7000 HP, and his HP was directly bottoming out, leaving only a trace of health.
But Xue Yang at this moment smiled.
"No... you're a decoy!" Fire Dance suddenly felt a bone-chilling chill coming from behind, and a black light directly pierced through her back.
"You found out too late." The suddenly appearing assassin, Chang Hong, sneered.
