No One focused intensely.
The First World game has an "alert sound" mechanism.
Many games have this mechanism.
A sound will be emitted when a skill reaches its activation point.
This is a signal to let the player know when the skill will activate.
But simultaneously, it's also a signal for the enemy to launch a parry.
The key at this moment is that sound.
When Ye Yu attacks, there will be an alert sound.
If it's grasped, Ye Yu can break this attack.
Swish
CLANG
The first throwing knife.
And now.
No One looked beneath the shadow.
The enemy would come from here.
The blade had been raised, ready to strike down.
Swoosh.
Nothing at all.
What?
No One was startled.
Immediately turned around.
The phantom animation effect was activated.
"Dodge it?" Ye Yu thought to himself.
This short interval wasn’t enough for a parry.
Ye Yu knew No One was watching for the Shadow Strike's movement, so he decisively animation canceled it early.
Right after the throwing knife, he canceled the animation of his current strike.
So the second attack didn’t activate any damage. It didn’t trigger a parry or any attack at all.
Ye Yu simply "appeared" close to No One.
This technique was still too new, as it belonged to a class skill that had just been updated.
Therefore, only real combat like this could reveal what would truly happen.
Ye Yu crouched low, then immediately kicked upwards.
The attack caused a knock-up!
[Rising Dragon Kick]
No One was caught off guard, unable to time his parry and was directly knocked into the air.
"Senior Brother, I apologize in advance for the escape move."
"If Senior Brother wishes, I could leave behind my life too."
No One instantly sensed the danger.
The most infamous trait of Assassins was chaining aerial control.
A single mistake and he could be killed before reaching the ground.
Ye Yu stood right under No One, spinning around.
[Chains]
From the void emerged countless chains, binding No One's hands and feet.
Enemies caught by Chains take increased damage from the next attack and are held in the air for a short time.
Ye Yu jumped straight up.
[Heavenly Demon Eighteen Slashes]
Swish swish swish swish.
【Effect: Bleeding x19】
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
【Note: Health below 20%】
The chains were simultaneously shattered, causing explosive damage.
No One began to fall.
Ye Yu was already waiting.
【Heart-Piercing Strike】
Whoosh.
Ye Yu step back.
Where is he?
In mid-air, the only way to break out of this situation is.
An escape move!
No One, from the blind spot, had begun to execute his dance.
Ye Yu was still caught in the skill animation, even if he animation canceled, he couldn't block in time.
A single strike.
Ye Yu faltered, and No One would not miss this chance.
He didn't use Sever The Sun And Moon, as it would give Ye Yu enough time to dodge and parry it.
He immediately canceled the animation with Vocal.
【Vocal That Melt One's Heart】
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"!!!
The tables turned!
Ye Yu's escape skill had not yet recharged.
He was still stunned.
What kind of escape skill is this?
The Bard's escape move is 【Graceful Bard's Retreat】, a backward leap.But it only has the effect of a musical note floating to the jump point.
This didn't have that.
The Sword Cultivator's escape is 【Sword Retreat】 which breaks control, leaps backward, and plants a sword aura into the enemy. After a few seconds, it can be reactivated to teleport to the enemy hit by the sword aura and stun them.
This didn't have that.
Blade Dancer's escape?
There is no information online. Ye Yu even thought this class didn't have an escape skill.
No One just swung his blade.
【Phoenix Soaring】
【Phoenix Dance】
Calculating in his mind, after this chain of attacks, Ye Yu's health would drop to a critical level.
【Chasing Sword】
Ye Yu was directly pushed away.
The distance wasn't enough to touch anything.
No One immediately canceled the animation of Chasing Sword with another Sword Cultivator skill.
【Qi Return】
As if an invisible hand had directly pulled Ye Yu back.
A common combo for Sword Cultivators.
When not near a wall, the Sword Cultivator uses Chasing Sword to push away and then immediately uses Qi Return to pull back.
While being pulled by Qi Return, it is still counted as being affected by Chasing Sword.
If there's an obstacle, it will stun.
No One rushed forward.
I am the obstacle here!
The sound of impact echoed.
Ye Yu continued to be stunned.
However, No One also received impact damage, but it was negligible.
Ye Yu realized the opportunity.
The reason Sword Cultivators only use Qi Return when there is no wall is because after that impact...
They themselves get stunned too!!!
Balance!!!
Right after the stun duration ends, it’s the only time both have an opportunity!
The moment the stun ends is the moment of wits.
Will you attack? If I can parry it I win.
Will you not attack and wait for me to counter? If I attack first, I win.
Will you use a special skill? I can also use a special skill.
The action right after this will determine who the winner is.
But No One, you’ve lost!
Ye Yu thought to himself, as he prepared to activate Chaos Form.
This is an Invincibility skill. It grants an invincible effect for a short period.
Whether No One attacks or counters, he won’t be able to hurt him.
During that short period, he will unleash Moonlight Blade to deal true damage.
This advantage is absolute!
Immediately after the stun ended, Chaos Form was activated.
Sacrificing 50% of his current health, he gained an invincible state for 3 seconds, with the next attack piercing through any parry and guaranteed to be a critical hit.
Ye Yu's claws now glinted with a metallic sheen.
Moonlight Blade
Swish.
Huh?
Ye Yu looked at himself, finding a sword of energy embedded in his body.
What?
This is...!
Retreating Sword!!!
Ye Yu couldn't believe his eyes.
How is this possible?
Clearly, he had just used an escape move in mid-air?
There's no way the skill could have been refreshed in time.
Wait a minute.
Ye Yu seemed to realize something.
This isn't good!!!
"It's too late, Junior Brother."
The dance had been activated.
No One was rushing forward with his pair of gleaming blades.
Ye Yu sighed in helplessness.
"I lost."
This match, he had lost.
At this moment, No One still had one more activation of the Retreating Sword.He also had Sever The Sun And Moon to attack with.
The moment the 3-second period ended, Sever The Sun And Moon and Retreating Sword would immediately strike.
The Retreating Sword would activate first, stunning him, and right after, Sever The Sun And Moon would inflict enough damage to finish him off.
Retreating Sword can't cancel animations, but it doesn’t interrupt other skills either.
It can definitely go along with Sever The Sun And Moon.
It's like the Flash skill in MOBA games.
Many Sword Cultivator players perform incredibly dazzling maneuvers using this technique.
He could only blame himself.
This was his mistake.
The Blade Dancer skills online didn’t display one skill.
This skill, he himself possessed as well.
【Footwork of the Society In Black】 【Effect: The movement footwork of the Society In Black. It can be toggled on or off at will. When activated, footsteps make no sound, and a phantom is left at the activation point. Turning it off will teleport you back to the activation location.】
It's a faction skill, not a class skill.
Ye Yu thought the dodge that created the after image when he used Shadow Strike was due to 【The One on Stage Appears Divine, Viewers Can't Seem to Touch.】
【Effect: While performing the dance, evasiveness is greatly increased, but defense is greatly decreased.】
But in truth, it was the after image created by activating the Footwork.When caught in a combo mid-air, he deactivated the footwork and teleported back to the activation point.
From start to finish, No One didn’t move at all. Thus, Ye Yu couldn't detect the absence of footsteps.
A valuable piece of information: Footwork of the Society In Black gives players an extra escape skill with the condition of prior activation.
However, in this battle, he has already lost.
Chaos Form ended.
Immediately, Retreating Sword was activated.
Accompanied by Sever The Sun And Moon.
"With this heaven and earth, sever the sun and moon."
【First Move of the Blade Dancer: Sever The Sun And Moon】
Slash.
【Player Ye Yu was killed by Sever The Sun And Moon of No 11.】
【Player No 11 was killed by Bleeding effect of Ye Yu.】
Heavenly Demon In Black, observing the match, couldn’t help but laugh.
The ultimate winner was Heavenly Demon In Black.
I said I would help whoever won, and these two ended in a tie.
