Chapter 14
The Terrifying Mu Qingyi
Unknowingly, the two of them had been fighting for more than 20 minutes, but there was still no winner.
In terms of endurance, Yue Yuan was better. After all, Liu Ziyang was too heavy.
Slowly, Liu Ziyang stopped dodging and moving like he did in the beginning. Instead, his footsteps became slower and slower. In the end, he barely moved and relied on the flexibility of his hands to hold on.
When Liu Ziyang stopped moving, Yue Yuan knew that his chance had come.
Suddenly, an array appeared under Liu Ziyang’s feet with a flash of fire. It was a fire array!
The moment the fire array erupted, Liu Ziyang turned into a shadow and appeared on Yue Yuan’s left in the next second.
Liu Ziyang held a dagger and felt that victory was in sight. However, unexpectedly, three consecutive rays of light appeared under his feet.
The first was the wood array, which controlled Liu Ziyang. The next two were fire arrays, which dealtz two waves of damage to Liu Ziyang.
Liu Ziyang was already exhausted. Thus, the damage from the two fire arrays caused him to lose his combat ability.
Liu Ziyang simply laid on the ground and shouted, “I admit defeat.”
Wang Yu announced the results.
“Yue Yuan is the winner!”
Liu Ziyang forced himself to sit up and said, “I don’t understand how you knew that I would appear there and set up the array beforehand.”
Yue Yuan said, “As an array master, I’m proficient in setting up traps. You didn’t have any stamina then. When I released the fire array, you would definitely use your skill.”
“The key is where you will appear again after using the skill. If your stamina is insufficient, you will definitely not let go of the opportunity after using the skill.”
“There are three places you can go, namely behind me and on both sides of me. However, you knew that I would be most wary of my back, while my right is where my dominant hand is. Thus, I gambled that you would appear on my left. One second after I placed the first fire array, you appeared. At that time, I set up three array formations on my left in succession.”
Liu Ziyang pouted and said, “How f*cking sinister. He’s even more sinister than an assassin like me.”
Yue Yuan’s skill was more suitable in a team setting. He didn’t have any advantage in the individual battle, but actually used schemes to win.
Mo Xiu couldn’t help but take another look at Yue Yuan. In the previous battle with Wang Lei, it had always been Mo Xiu who had arranged the battle tactics. He didn’t expect Yue Yuan to have such strong analytical abilities.
Although Mo Xiu did not know how many times Yue Yuan could set up the array, he guessed that there was a limit to how many times he could set it up.
In reality, after Yue Yuan activated his skill, no matter what kind of array he used, he could only set up five arrays before entering a state of cooldown.
Although Liu Ziyang did not say it explicitly, everyone could tell that Liu Ziyang’s speed would increase after he released his afterimage. Therefore, Yue Yuan could only gamble this time.
While everyone was still reminiscing about this battle, Wang Yu had already announced the next battle.
Mo Xiu and Mu Qingyi arrived at the scene. At this moment, Mo Xiu’s skill was still God’s Eye. Thus, he immediately used it on Mu Qingyi.
“First Skill: Spatial Folding.”
“Skill Effect: (1) Flash: Affects the user. Allows the user to teleport. (2) Object Control: Affects objects. Can cause objects to move twice in three seconds.
“Cooldown: Five seconds (When Object Control is activated, the second movement of an object will not be subject to cooldown).”
For the first time, Mo Xiu had doubts about God’s Eye. It was already terrifying enough that she could teleport, but the cooldown time was only five seconds?
In other words, if Mo Xiao wanted to win, he could only dodge Mu Qingyi’s two teleporting daggers and then defeat her within five seconds.
“Get ready… Begin!”
Mo Xiu did not hesitate and instantly activated Descent of the Martial God. Then, he closed the distance between him and Mu Qingyi at full speed.
Mo Xiu understood that Mu Qingyi used long-range attacks. Thus, the shorter the distance between the two, the greater his chance of victory.
Mu Qingyi stood where she was. She took out a flying dagger from her waist with her right hand and threw it out lightly.
The moment the flying dagger left her hand, it burst through the air at a shocking speed. Mo Xiu knew that the flying dagger was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
Mu Qingyi must have used some sort of special method to exert force when she was throwing the dagger. The dagger looked very light, but in reality, it was moving very quickly.
The flying dagger headed straight for Mo Xiu’s forehead. Mo Xiu originally did not want to dodge, but Mu Qingyi would definitely change the direction of the flying dagger.
However, as the flying dagger approached him, Mo Xiu had no choice but to slow down and dodge.
As Mo Xiu slowed down, the flying dagger disappeared. Mo Xiu didn’t dare to advance rashly and could only search for the flying dagger.
Then, Mo Xiu turned around and realized that the flying dagger was flying towards him from behind.
Mo Xiu frowned. Why did she move the flying dagger so far away? She should have let the flying dagger appear closer to him so that he would be caught off guard.
Mo Xiu stared at the flying dagger. When the flying dagger approached him, he dodged to the side and prepared to grab it with his hands.
However, the flying dagger disappeared once again. This time, it only moved a short distance away from its original position and appeared right in front of Mo Xiu. Mo Xiu couldn’t dodge in time and could only lie down, barely dodging the attack.
At this moment, Mo Xiu was lying on the ground, looking extremely pathetic.
Mu Qingyi’s skill was too troublesome. If Mo Xiu did not know her skill, he might have already been injured.
Mo Xiu, who stood up, suddenly thought of something and looked towards Mu Qingyi.
Mo Xiu thought to himself, “Oh no, I’ve been tricked!” When Mu Qingyi activated Object Control and used it for the first time, the skill would enter a cooldown period. At this point, more than five seconds had passed. This meant that her skill had been refreshed and could be used again.
So that was the case. Mo Xiu was enlightened. She had moved the flying dagger further away just now to buy more time to activate the second displacement.
Before Mo Xiu could prepare himself, Mu Qingyi threw out a second flying dagger.
Mo Xiu already knew Mu Qingyi’s strategy. By utilizing the three second interval between the two displacements, he could almost use his skills indefinitely.
Mo Xiu would no longer give Mu Qingyi the chance to exhaust him and stall for time.
Ignoring the incoming flying daggers, he directly ran towards Mu Qingyi.
This time, when the flying dagger approached Mo Xiu, Mo Xiu did not slow down. He only tilted his head and the flying dagger went right past his face.
Mo Xiu silently counted down in his heart as the flying dagger disappeared and began to move. He started to calculate the cooldown time for Mu Qingyi’s skill.
Five…
This time, the flying dagger appeared behind Mo Xiu, but it wasn’t that far away. It was just a short distance away.
Mo Xiu glanced back and continued accelerating, preparing to race against the flying dagger.
Four…
Mo Xiu was not as fast as the flying dagger. The flying dagger approached him.
Then, Mo Xiu did something that no one expected. He quickly rolled on the ground to reduce his speed as much as possible while dodging the flying dagger.
Three…
The flying dagger disappeared once more and moved again. Right now, Mo Xiu was only a step away from My Qingyi.
Mu Qingyi was currently controlling the flying dagger to perform a second displacement. Thus, she was unable to divert her attention to dodge.
Two…
Mu Qingyi was within reach, but at that moment, the flying dagger had also appeared in front of Mo Xiu’s chest.
In Mu Qingyi’s opinion, it did not matter even if she could not avoid Mo Xiu’s attack. After all, this time, the flying dagger was aimed at Mo Xiu’s heart. Thus, Mo Xiu would definitely dodge it.
One…
As the flying knife flew past, Mo Xiu’s fist flew towards Mu Qingyi and stopped a centimeter away from her face. The wind from his fist blew Mu Qingyi’s hair away.
After a second of silence, Mu Qingyi said, “I lost.”
Mo Xiu had indeed dodged the flying dagger, but he had dodged it in a very strange manner.
He crossed his legs and his entire body was tilted sideways, like a crab.
The flying dagger brushed past Mo Xiu’s chest and cut open his clothes.
Mo Xiu smiled and said, “You held back. Otherwise, the outcome would have been hard to predict.”
Mu Qingyi had indeed held back during the last displacement, giving Mo Xiu time to dodge.
Mo Xiu knew that even if he did not hold back, he would still win. However, he would be severely injured.
Off the battlefield, Wang Lei and Wang Yu looked at each other in shock.
How did he manage to dodge the two extreme attacks? How did he manage to move sideways like a crab?
This was unbelievable. Right now, both of them only had one thought in their minds.
Mo Xiu was a natural warrior…
