Chapter 1 The Battle Begins

As the battle began, everyone's eyes were focused on the two figures.

One was a Guardian Knight, the other a Priest.

Neither class was known for high attack power, but the Guardian Knight had a greater advantage. The Guardian Knight possessed a magic resistance aura and numerous interrupt skills, which were disadvantageous for the Priest, who focused on healing and had a fragile defense.

In terms of health points, Ziyan Liuyun had over 7,000, which might be considered a "blood cow" among magic-type classes. However, compared to an MT, especially Dao Wanli, who had over 10,000 health points, it was insignificant.

"Fall!"

Dao Wanli charged straight at Ziyan Liuyun. He gripped the giant shield in his left hand and used Shield Bash. The giant shield flew toward Ziyan Liuyun with a whoosh, and Dao Wanli followed closely behind. The longsword in his right hand tore through the air, transforming into a stream of light aimed directly at Ziyan Liuyun's fair neck. The whole process was seamless, happening in the blink of an eye, leaving Ziyan Liuyun no chance to cast any spells.

"Such a skilled two-part attack," Canglang Zhantian praised upon seeing this.

Ordinary players would find it difficult to dodge the flying shield. Moreover, as the shield flew toward them, players would instinctively focus all their attention on it, thus ignoring Dao Wanli, who followed closely behind.

Even against experts, they would be distracted by the shield and unable to face Dao Wanli in their best condition. Facing that swift blade aimed at vital, unseen points, they would easily fall victim.

Ziyan Liuyun hurriedly moved her body to the side, dodging the Shield Bash with minimal movement. She instinctively used Holy Shield, an instant-cast skill that immediately conjured a golden shield around her.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three consecutive slashes landed on the same spot of the golden shield, causing it to show signs of shattering. Then, a Hammer of Sanction descended from the sky toward Ziyan Liuyun's head.

Ziyan Liuyun shifted her feet, gracefully dodging the Hammer of Sanction like a nimble cat.

"Such a quick reaction, but unfortunately, you can dodge the Hammer of Sanction, but not this move." Dao Wanli sneered and directly unleashed Grand Cross, heavily striking the golden shield.

Boom!

The golden shield couldn't withstand the force and finally shattered. Ziyan Liuyun also suffered over 400 points of damage. If it weren't for Holy Shield absorbing a significant amount of damage, the damage received would have been much greater.

After shattering the Holy Shield, Dao Wanli didn't stop his attack. He flipped the blade and swung several more times, aiming straight for Ziyan Liuyun's vitals.

Ziyan Liuyun reacted quickly, using Fearful Roar, which would cause nearby enemies to lose control due to fear.

Dao Wanli remained calm and then let out a low roar, his entire body radiating a golden light.

First-tier skill, Divine Immunity!

It allowed the player to be immune to all control skills for 7 seconds.

Fearful Roar was useless under Divine Immunity. Dao Wanli easily broke through the spreading gray sound waves, and his blade speed did not decrease as he landed on Ziyan Liuyun.

Ziyan Liuyun was caught off guard. Although she used her staff to defend, the blade was too fast, and she was still hit several times.

Instantly, Ziyan Liuyun was knocked away, her health dropping rapidly. Each hit dealt nearly 500 points of damage, and after three hits, she lost more than 1,500 health points, leaving her with less than 5,000.

With Divine Immunity active, Dao Wanli pressed his attack. He easily dodged Ziyan Liuyun's attacks and reappeared in front of her in the blink of an eye.

Divine Storm!

Holy Light Combo!

Although Ziyan Liuyun tried to create distance, the Guardian Knight's movement speed was faster than other classes due to skill bonuses. Ziyan Liuyun could only desperately resist, and her health plummeted. Even using instant-cast recovery skills couldn't keep up with Dao Wanli's fierce attacks. In a short time, Ziyan Liuyun's health dropped below 3,000.

If it were any other healing class, the battle would have ended long ago.

"Dao Wanli's attacks are fierce and fast, one wave after another, giving no chance to breathe. Although the Priest class has some control skills, they are useless against Dao Wanli, who is immune to control," Yanxue said with a slight smile. "But Ziyan Liuyun is really strong. Priests are not combat classes, and to survive this long, her skills must be extraordinary. No wonder she can enter the seventh floor of the Trial Tower."

Gui Yingzi, standing next to him, nodded in agreement.

A Priest was ultimately not a PvP class. If it were the Assassin, Huowu, perhaps there would have been a chance to win.

"You're not bad, but I won't give you another chance to recover."

Dao Wanli shouted softly, and his body suddenly expanded, using the extremely rare burst skill, Holy Light Power, which increased his strength and endurance by 30% and his defense by 60% for 20 seconds.

Immediately, Dao Wanli's health increased to over 13,000, and his damage also increased sharply.

"Black Flame Guild Leader, it's a pity that this battle is about to end so quickly," Yanxue said, looking at Shi Feng with a smile.

The battle was obvious. Dao Wanli still had 13,000 health points, while Ziyan Liuyun had less than 3,000. Even with healing methods, skills like Healing Spell required about 1 to 2 seconds of casting time. Against an expert like Dao Wanli, there was no chance to use it. She could only use instant-cast skills that recovered less health.

But against Dao Wanli, who had activated burst mode, that little bit of recovery was useless.

In burst mode, even Gui Yingzi, who was skilled in close combat, could only use Vanish to temporarily avoid his attacks, otherwise Gui Yingzi could be killed in three or five hits.

"Indeed, I didn't expect Dao Wanli to be so impatient, not giving Ziyan Liuyun more time," Shi Feng nodded.

Yanxue was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Shi Feng to be so straightforward and said expectantly, "Hahaha, Dao Wanli is indeed impatient, but it's also because Dao Wanli wanted to compete with Black Flame Guild Leader, that's why he was a little impulsive."

"Compete with me?" Shi Feng shook his head and smiled calmly, "A loser probably doesn't have the right to challenge me."

"Loser?" Yanxue looked puzzled. "I wonder if the loser in Black Flame Guild Leader's mouth refers to Dao Wanli?"

"Who else could it be besides him?" Shi Feng glared at Yanxue.

"Black Flame Guild Leader is really joking." Yanxue finally understood that Shi Feng was just being stubborn. "Then let's see who is the loser."

Shi Feng's voice was not soft, and for masters with keen senses, they could hear it clearly even from a distance, not to mention the dueling arena, which was not far away.

Dao Wanli's mouth twitched when he heard these words, and sparks seemed to fly from his eyes.

"Originally, I wanted to show some mercy, but now I've decided to let you experience what despair is. Blame your Guild Leader!" Dao Wanli transformed into a streak of light, arriving in front of Ziyan Liuyun. The longsword he swung suddenly became invisible, leaving only the afterimage of his arm. Moreover, the target of the attack was no longer the vitals, but Ziyan Liuyun's limbs.

Just as the longsword was about to land on Ziyan Liuyun, it suddenly stopped in mid-air, only an inch away from Ziyan Liuyun's arm, but it could no longer move forward.

"What's going on?" Dao Wanli said in shock.

No matter how hard he tried, even the veins on his arm bulged, but the knife in his hand was like it was hitting some divine metal, and he could not hit Ziyan Liuyun’s body at all.

"Guild Leader, couldn't you let me play a little longer?" Ziyan Liuyun pouted, a little dissatisfied.
