Rustle rustle rustle...
On the ground, the maple leaves trembled rapidly. Under the observation of Dark Pupils, three assassins clad in black leather armor charged at Nie Yan from three different directions. They brandished their daggers, and their gazes were cold. Crimson ripples appeared beneath their feet. They were the assassins who had activated Death's Shadow Dance.
I gritted my teeth. Looking at the formation, I knew that it wouldn't be easy to pass this time. These three Assassins were very skilled and decisive. They didn't have the slightest bit of hesitation like the Assassins I had met before. As expected, the players from Hundred Gods Advent were all experts at the top of the Arena. Their PvP skills, honed through hundreds of battles, far surpassed those famous people.
Swhoosh!
Two arrows flew toward me. One was a Shock Arrow, the other a Mountain Stagger Arrow. The Mountain Stagger Arrow was aimed at my Armored Ice Qilin Horse, and the Shock Arrow was aimed two yards behind me. It was clear that they were trying to cut off my path of retreat. I was being attacked from five different directions, and it looked like there was no way out for me.
… …
I urged the Armored Ice Qilin Horse to retreat in the blink of an eye. Just as the Shock Arrow was about to hit me, I leaped off my mount and kicked the horse's belly with my war boots. Then, I rolled into the fallen leaves of the grass and bounced back to my feet. I swung my sword at the same time and parried the first assassin's attack with a loud clang.
Swhoosh!
I felt a chill at my waist. The second Assassin's [Lifesteal] skill arrived in an instant, leaving me very little time to react. The third Assassin's dagger swept toward my neck from the side. It had the effect of [Gouge]. As long as I was hit, there was a high chance that I would die here.
I felt a chill in my heart, but it was as if I was outside of the world. My mind cleared up in an instant, and my heart was as clear as a mirror. I was able to determine the angle and speed of my opponent's attack. I ducked my head, and the enemy's dagger brushed past the red tassel of my armor. Strands of the red tassel fell to the ground. At the same time, I danced around and knocked away the second assassin's dagger with my Dragon God Shield. Taking advantage of the moment he froze, I swung my Zi Ying Sword at his neck.
"Hmph!"
The assassin snorted coldly and parried the attack with both daggers. Then, he tilted his body slightly and rolled to the ground. This was a high-level skill that only first-rate assassins could use.
Killing intent flashed across my eyes as I twisted my wrist and aimed at the weak point of the enemy's dagger. Then, I shattered his parry with my Purple Ying Sword, but I was far more skilled than he was. The Purple Ying Sword smashed into his neck and dealt a huge amount of damage — 139298!
A basic attack was enough to one-shot him!
I used the Dragon God Shield to knock away the third assassin's dagger as I backed away. Then, I raised the Purple Ying Sword and tossed it to the ground. War Crush activated three times in an instant, and both assassins backed away at the same time. They were so fast that they were able to dodge my War Crush with their skill alone.
Unfortunately, I took advantage of their retreat to hit them with a Dragon Slaying Slash and Coiling Dragon Revolution. and my swords immediately pierced their chests.
Pcht pcht...
Blood spurted out of my chest as I collapsed to the ground. The two assassins had lost their lives in an instant. As expected, I was Level 200, and my level was much higher than theirs. They couldn't ignore this advantage, and my mastery of my skills was impeccable. It was almost impossible for these people to escape me. Even the Top 500 experts of the Purple Grape Arena could be killed by the Purple Ying Sword without a hitch. Fans of the book loved to read:!
"Bang!"
My back abruptly shook. The enemy archer's Armor Piercing Arrow hit me squarely and dealt 52773 damage. At the same time, the ground glowed with the light of the Touch of the Dragonkiss. I hurriedly dodged, but one of the Touch of the Dragonkiss still managed to land a kiss on my leg. My leg was in pain, and I lost over 70k HP. These people were just too powerful.
I gripped the Dragon God Shield tightly and charged toward the forest without looking back. Behind me, I saw four mounted players charging toward me while three archers were shooting arrows at me from the edge of the forest.
Thud...
I slid across the grass for seven or eight meters before I abruptly came to a stop. My prediction time was up, so I abruptly turned around and activated Great Earth Cyclone. I raised the Purple Ying Sword and fired three Ancient Seals into the distance. At the same time, I moved to the side at high speed and threw the Purple Ying Sword at the three mages before they could Blink to the ground!
Swhoosh!
The blade of the sword turned into a spiraling storm and pierced through the chests of two mages, one-shotting them. I didn't have time to catch the blade that was coming at me, so I lowered my body and slammed the Dragon God Shield into the neck of a magic knight's horse. At the same time, he hit me in the back with a Blaze skill!
“42882！”
That hurts too much!
The Divine Martial War Boots abruptly kicked the magic knight at the front of the formation and sent him stumbling backward. The edge of the Dragon God Shield slammed into the neck of another warrior and dealt over 90k damage. Even without a weapon in hand, it was still enough to heavily injure him!
"Die, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand!"
Behind me, a Wanderer suddenly dashed forward. His blade glowed with the light of an Ice Flame Slash. Combined with his Triple Slash, it looked like he wanted to one-shot me!
I abruptly took a step forward. My right fist was covered in a thick layer of blood as I shouted, "Magic Piercing Fist", heavily shattering the opponent's [Ice Flame Slash]. At the same time, I raised my shield and withstood three consecutive slashes with a "keng keng keng" sound. My arm felt numb, and the ground around me glowed with the light of a Galaxy Storm.
I decisively rolled into the bushes to avoid the Galaxy Storm and pulled the Purple Ying Sword out of the ground. Then, I leaped out of the bushes and swung my sword horizontally. Burning Blade Slash!
Boom boom boom!
Two cavalry players were knocked out in an explosion of light. They dropped a bunch of equipment and potions, but I didn't have the time to pick them up.
I raised my arm and swung the Dragon Slaying Slash at them. The only mage on the ground hurriedly retreated and dodged the attack, but he was caught off guard by my Ancient Seals and one-shot!
… …
Thud thud thud...
More than thirty arrows flew toward me from the distance. Three archers appeared at the edge of the forest and fired Volley at the same time. It was too cruel!
I hurriedly raised my shield and endured a series of hits. At the same time, I kept retreating. In the distance, seven high-level mounted players appeared again. If this continued, I would die for sure. My HP was less than 20%. Even a potion and Tenacity of the Dead wouldn't be enough to bring me back to full health.
"Assassinate him! Use Laceration so he can't hide!" a high-level warrior holding a battle axe shouted from the crowd.
I activated Dark Pupils and observed my surroundings as I retreated. Suddenly, four assassins pounced at me from behind. I executed Burning Blade Slash + Thousand Ice Slash at the same time and killed two of them. The other two activated Dance of Death and closed in on me, crossing each other in a zigzag and an S line.
Chiang!
The Purple Ying Sword accurately parried one of the attacks, but the assassins were far more agile than I was. One of the stronger assassins suddenly turned around and stabbed me in the armpit with his dagger. It was the Laceration skill, so I wouldn't be able to hide for 15 seconds.
"Fuck!"
I abruptly swung my sword and killed the other assassin. Then, I thrust my sword toward this high-level assassin. Unfortunately for me, the bastard ducked and dodged my attack. His dagger glowed with the light of Gouge as he twisted his body and drew a double S-shaped line on the grass. As expected of an expert, he was definitely not much weaker than Moonkiss or Farewell Song.
"Hah!"
I growled and used Wild Roar to boost my attack. I gripped my sword and parried the enemy's first attack with a loud clang. Then, I stepped into a spiral pattern and spun around to fire another Universe Break. The speed at which I used this skill was insane!
"Heavens!"
A hint of shock flashed through the assassin's eyes, but he barely managed to dodge the attack. Universe Break tore open a wound on his shoulder, so he continued to swim around and look for a new opportunity to assassinate me. He didn't dare to move too far away because he was afraid that my Burning Blade Slash and Ancient Seal would take control of him. The only way to survive was to stay a certain distance away from me.
I abruptly changed directions and charged toward him. I raised my arm and swung my sword in a crescent arc. My eyes were filled with determination.
"How …"
The assassin hurriedly retreated, but he was caught off guard and crashed into a red maple tree. This was exactly the result I wanted. I spread my left hand and covered his chest with my palm. Then, I shouted, "God Binding Art!"
Whoosh!
It was a super close-range attack, so the assassin was instantly bound. I also took a couple of arrows from behind me. My HP dropped to 1%, and my wound was still taking damage from the Laceration skill.
… …
I didn't have time to kill the assassin, so I tossed an Icy Cyclone Domain right under his feet and ran toward the southeast. I needed to get out of the enemy archer's line of sight, or I would be dead for sure.
I looked at Sliver's HP, which was only around 2000. Cold arrows flew from behind me!
I opened up three different perspectives, constantly predicting the angle and speed of the enemy archer's attack. My feet stepped on the red maple leaves, forming a zig-zag pattern. A sea of MISSes floated above my head. This was the true definition of dancing on the edge of death. One mistake and I would be sent back to the beginner village to report!
The moment the Laceration skill disappeared, I decisively locked onto the dense forest and activated Charge. With a "shua", I turned into a few rays of blood-red light that seeped into the ground. I gulped down a health potion and slowly moved in another direction. This Hundred Gods Advent really did give me a lot of pressure. It was too terrifying.
… …
Behind me, a dozen or so Hundred Gods Advent players entered the forest. The veins on the high-level warrior's face bulged. He growled, "D * mn it, we actually let him escape. Notify everyone, lock down this area of the forest. Archers, use Skypiercer to sweep the map. We must find him!"
"Pa pa pa..."
A string of bowstrings rang out. The closest Skypiercer was less than a step away from me. "Pa pa", the arrow stabbed into the ground. If I was hit, I would be dead for sure!
I carefully circled around the enemy's map and entered a small forest to the side. The sound of horse hooves brushed past me. A group of Purple Grape cavalry galloped past, but they didn't notice me. My level was much higher than theirs, so it would be difficult for them to see through my invisibility.
It was still raining. I looked up at the sky and licked my dry lips. I gripped the Purple Ying Sword even tighter.
