"Not good."
Hercules Chase Goff's heart raced as he saw another ally fall in battle. "Now it's down to three, and James Brown and I have to stay alert for the archer's arrows at all times. We can't fully focus on the fight."
The archer was too much of a threat. In combat, any significant mistake could result in an arrow flying straight for you.
Take Yvonne Green, for instance. Without the archer, even if she was slammed and sent flying, spitting out blood, her teammate, the Bloodaxe James Brown, could have stepped in to block Jamie Smith, allowing Yvonne Green to get back up and rejoin the battle.
But with the archer in play, Yvonne Green being sent flying and spitting blood? That's like offering yourself as a target!
"Chase Goff, if we don't take out the archer, we can't win," Bloodaxe James Brown said over the team's voice comms, moving closer to Chase Goff.
"I'm in heavy armor; I can't possibly match the archer's speed. At best, I can charge and disrupt the enemy's formation, but it's up to you, up to the old man, Liv Jay Windsor, to go after the archer," Chase Goff replied over the comms. He felt frustrated; he had to hold back during combat, with half his attention on the archer, or he could have already taken down the mediocre cold weapon fighter, Samuel Clark.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a noise came from a distant residential building, startling Jamie Smith, Samuel Clark, Channing Cheung, as well as Chase Goff and James Brown.
That was where the archer was located!
"The old man has made his move," Chase Goff and James Brown were certain. Liv Jay Windsor must have reached that house by now.
...
Archer Emily Johnson was at the window of the residential building, ready to shoot at any moment. All other windows were closed tight! The door was also shut, ensuring no one could sneak in without alerting her.
However, the ancient town was mostly made up of wooden structures, and this ordinary residence was no exception.
"Boom." One of the walls suddenly exploded, and a thin figure rushed in, immediately changing direction and lunging at the archer, Emily Johnson.
It was Liv Jay Windsor!
"Whoosh."
From behind the curtains in the house, a figure suddenly charged out, intercepting the thin figure. It was the Twin-Blade Master, Dylan Thomas.
Dylan Thomas hadn't been able to find the hidden Liv Jay Windsor before, but he was clear on one thing: "Liv Jay Windsor's first target will definitely be the archer. As long as I'm by the archer's side, I can wait for the old master."
The room wasn't large, and although it was deliberately chosen, it was still too small for masters of their skill.
As soon as Liv Jay Windsor rushed in, Dylan Thomas immediately intercepted. But the moment he did, Dylan Thomas felt a shudder in his heart: "He's faster than me!"
This was the first direct confrontation, and Dylan Thomas immediately sensed the gap.
"Whoosh."
Liv Jay Windsor moved like a phantom.
Both practiced the "Shadow Leopard Evolution Technique," but Liv Jay Windsor was visibly faster and more agile.
Dylan Thomas, armed with twin blades, charged forward.
The opponent had to either engage and waste time or retreat and delay.
As Dylan Thomas charged to intercept, his blade swept past—
"Whoosh." Liv Jay Windsor shrank his body, dodging the blade in an instant, and then sprang forward towards the archer. But Dylan Thomas, being a master of martial arts, turned his wrist, and with a twist of his right hand, his blade struck the shrunken figure.
"Clang!" The strike seemed to hit metal, causing Dylan Thomas's face to change.
Despite taking the hit, the figure's speed increased as it lunged towards the archer, Emily Johnson.
Emily Johnson knew the moment the wall was breached that escape was impossible; the distance was too short. So she drew her bow.
But the assassin was too fast. Despite changing direction and taking a blade strike, there was no entanglement with Dylan Thomas. The assassin's strike was right in front of her in less than 0.2 seconds.
"Whoosh." Emily Johnson didn't have time to prepare properly. The opponent's figure was too elusive, so she had to rely on her instincts to shoot the arrow.
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
"Puff."
She hit!
Blood mist exploded!
But the assassin still lunged forward, a flash of sword light, and Emily Johnson felt a pain in her forehead as her body began to dissipate into nothingness.
"Against these divine-level masters, it's over in one move," Emily Johnson sighed helplessly. Her archery was strong; she was a divine-level master in that regard. But close combat? She was probably on par with May Lee. In front of a divine-level master, it's a one-hit kill.
"Kill!" Dylan Thomas's face was contorted as he lunged forward.
At this moment, he felt an immense humiliation!
He had been waiting here, but he hadn't even managed to delay...
Allowing the archer, Emily Johnson, to be assassinated.
"Such a formidable archer," Old Master Liv Jay Windsor said with a smile, his heart filled with admiration. His left arm was completely severed, the arrow's power was too strong, causing the arm to explode.
Fortunately, the pain was fixed at ten percent, and Old Master Liv Jay Windsor looked at the incoming Dylan Thomas. The other party would not give him a chance to stop the bleeding.
"Whoosh." Liv Jay Windsor did not flee; instead, he sprang forward to meet Dylan Thomas, but... losing an arm greatly affected his agility.
They passed each other.
The blade light was dazzling, and the sword light flickered faintly.
Old Master Liv Jay Windsor's chest was covered in blood as he looked at Dylan Thomas with a smile: "Young man, your blade technique is not bad." Then his body dissipated into nothingness.
"So fast with the sword, how can it be so fast?" Dylan Thomas's chest slowly seeped a trace of blood, and his body also became illusory and disappeared.
...
In the official live broadcast room of Xia Country.
"The old man is so awesome!"
"Six six six!"
"He killed the archer first and then took out the Twin-Blade Master Dylan Thomas, even though he was severely injured."
The audience in the stands were boiling, with countless comments rolling in the comment section.
The host, Shine Lewis, even played back the assassination in slow motion above the battle space.
"After Old Master Liv Jay Windsor rushed into the house, he had only one goal, to kill the archer," said Coach Ray Wong, pointing at the screen. "After entering, he first encountered the interception of Master Dylan Thomas! Master Dylan Thomas's strategy was correct, and he did indeed guard against Old Master Liv Jay Windsor's assassination."
"Master Dylan Thomas was also very smart. He intercepted to block, not seeking merit but avoiding mistakes! His two strikes were to delay time. If Old Master Liv Jay Windsor blocked, it would delay time. If he retreated to avoid... it would still waste time. But the old man shrank his body, a height of one meter and sixty, into dozens of centimeters, directly avoiding the two blade lights. I am sure that the old man must have practiced Xingyi, and it is the Monkey Form of Xingyi." Coach Ray Wong was very sure.
"He has practiced the Monkey Form of Xingyi for a lifetime, and this body technique is incredible," Sophia Thompson also said.
"Master Dylan Thomas was also very powerful. It was clear that his move was old, but when he found that the other party shrank, he turned the blade light of his right hand and struck Old Master Liv Jay Windsor," Coach Ray Wong said, pointing at the screen.
That strike, Old Master Liv Jay Windsor did not dodge, only blocking with his left arm, the cloth clothes were split by the strike, and the broken cloth flew away, revealing the black metal arm guard on the left arm.
"The old man is wearing a metal arm guard. Although he chose to wear a close-fitting soft leather armor, the front of the arm here is metal," Coach Ray Wong said, "With this arm guard, he resisted this strike, and continued to rush towards the archer."
"At this time, the archer Emily Johnson was forced to shoot the arrow. Old Master Liv Jay Windsor has been moving at high speed, and the assassination came too fast. The archer did not have a sure grasp, but if she didn't shoot this arrow, there would be no chance. This arrow was actually quite accurate, aiming at the position of the old man's left chest."
The slow motion was very clear, and the arrow was indeed very accurate. At close range, it should have hit the left chest.
But the old man twisted his body, and the arrow only pierced through the left arm, and the left arm was blown off.
"It was this twist of the body, it should have been the moment when Emily Johnson shot the arrow, and the old man instinctively twisted his body, only breaking one arm, but he survived, and he survived, Emily
Johnson would be dead." Coach Ray Wong shook his head and admired, "Amazing, amazing."
Sophia Thompson said, "After the arm was broken, the bleeding was too fast, and the strength was also affected. Master Dylan Thomas would not waste such a good opportunity, so Old Master Liv Jay Windsor could not escape, so he did not hesitate to face Master Dylan Thomas's pursuit."
"Master Dylan Thomas has a double blade in his hand, which is both offensive and defensive." Qin Yi said, "But the old man only made one sword! At the moment when Master Dylan Thomas's right hand knife was slashed, he made a sword! Although Master Dylan Thomas wanted to block with his left hand knife, he missed, and he stabbed through Master Dylan Thomas's heart with one sword."
The picture was very clear.
Master Dylan Thomas's right hand knife had crossed half of the old man's chest, and it was a sure death.
The old man's sword was like a snake bite! It was too fast! Master Dylan Thomas's heart had been pierced.
The two people turned into nothingness and disappeared one after another.
"The sword is light and flexible, and it is known for its speed." Ray Wong praised, "Old Master Liv Jay Windsor's 'Shadow Leopard Evolution Technique' is also high enough, and his body speed is faster than Dylan Thomas and Frost Shirley. But what is more terrible is his sword! The sword is too fast! He previously attacked Jamie Smith, and Jamie Smith is known for the 'Shadowless Thrust', and just barely blocked it. But Master Dylan Thomas couldn't block it, also because of this time, Old Master Liv Jay Windsor was determined to die, and he had to stab out this sword. So it's even more terrible."
"I really didn't expect that on the first day of the opening of the virtual world, a 97-year-old old man could show such a terrible body technique and such a terrible swordsmanship. It's amazing!" Ray Wong praised.

In the official live broadcast room of Xia Country, the number of viewers has reached 630 million, and the number of people is still rising continuously.
In the stands, there is a burly middle-aged man sitting there, and he is Ray Willow! Most of the top professional players in the country are his disciples.
"Second Uncle's Xingyi Monkey Form is really practiced to the bone." The burly middle-aged man smiled happily, "It's really happy to see Second Uncle show his swordsmanship again."
When Ray Willow was a child, he was taught by his second uncle, and later he had a high talent, and the master personally took him to teach by his side.
The master passed away early, and the one who has the grace of teaching him in the world is his second uncle! Second Uncle is 97 years old, and he has already enjoyed his later years, hunchbacked every day, playing with swords and raising his health. I didn't think that the times have changed, and Second Uncle has also returned to the peak, and his body has also evolved, completely and perfectly showing his skills.
"Second Uncle himself must be very happy." Ray Willow is full of joy, happier than he has won the world's first.
