Chapter 1447: Chapter 1151: Simpler Than Expected
At that moment, as Long Yi’s second opponent, another warrior hadn’t even begun to prepare. In his eyes, those coming from small teams like Long Yi’s could only talk big and had no chance of defeating him. What he never could have anticipated was that Long Yi would achieve victory with a single strike!
"Hold your sword, warrior!" Long Yi raised his Alloy Greatsword with one hand, pointing it at his foe from afar. It was a highly disrespectful gesture only used when facing an enemy who was far inferior. Clearly, Long Yi had successfully provoked the other’s rage.
"It was just a surprise attack, that’s all!"
A Crescent Slash, accompanied by a howling sound, flew towards Long Yi, who instantly countered with a Crescent Slash of his own. However, his Crescent Slash was far more powerful, shattering his opponent’s Crescent Slash and continuing to fly towards the man.
"Damn it!" The man cursed loudly while swiftly sidestepping the Crescent Slash and using his Avatar to charge at Long Yi from two different directions. This time, Long Yi didn’t use an Avatar but instead charged directly at one of the opponent’s Avatars, only to stop halfway and abruptly charge toward the other Avatar!
The moment Long Yi switched targets, the first Avatar he had been charging towards collapsed on the spot.
Doppelganger Slash was highly deceptive because it not only created an Avatar identical to oneself but also allowed for a one-time switch between one’s body and the Avatar. After the switch, the Avatar would immediately disappear.
What terrified the warrior was that Henki had headed straight for his real body from the start. As he swapped bodies instantly, Henki charged towards his real body’s position! It was as if all his actions had been anticipated by the opponent!
When the Alloy Greatsword struck out, the opponent raised his hand to meet it, but the energy sword instantly shattered. Fortunately, the warrior was quick to react, detonating the energy sword and using the explosion’s force to retreat.
"Ah, wouldn’t it be better to just admit defeat honestly? Don’t waste time," Long Yi sincerely suggested.
"In your dreams!" The warrior said through gritted teeth.
"Alright then." Suddenly Long Yi placed his Alloy Greatsword horizontally across his waist, gripping the hilt with both hands as energy surged.
"Single Character Slash!"
Boom!
The Single Character Slash was one of the most powerful techniques that required a long time to charge. The longer the charge, the greater the power and the wider the coverage. Theoretically speaking, if one had an endless supply of energy, this move’s power could be infinite. Of course, the energy consumed would increase dramatically after exceeding a certain range, so basically, no one would increase energy indefinitely. In other words, there was a safe distance.
As the warrior saw Long Yi perform the Single Character Slash, he instinctively began to back away, calculating the maximum safe distance. He immediately stopped. Normally, the opponent should have released the Single Character Slash by then, as continuing to charge it would result in a loss.
Sure enough, the Greatsword swept out horizontally, its edge releasing a lethal burst of energy. But almost at that instant, the warrior realized something was awry. He felt that the energy burst from the opponent’s blade edge seemed longer than before!
Of course, it was! The energy length usually sprayed from the technique was fixed, but when executed by an ordinary warrior, since the energy sword was energy itself, it was measured from where the warrior’s hand started.
But Long Yi was different. Long Yi used an energy Alloy Greatsword, which was nearly as tall as he was. When Long Yi executed the Single Character Slash, the energy sprayed out from the tip of the blade, giving his Single Character Slash an extra two meters of range!
By the time his opponent realized this, the blade edge of the Single Character Slash was already upon him. He was certain his judgment of the distance for Single Character Slash was correct—the opponent’s range had inexplicably increased! But dwelling on right or wrong was pointless now; he had to dodge this strike. In this critical moment, his experience finally proved useful. He was in the initial stages of moving forward, and a retreat was out of the question, as was ducking, for the Single Character Slash mainly targeted the chest and abdomen. His only option was to jump, to leap with all his might!
Crack!
The Single Character Slash swept across his lower legs, severing the armor there. After jumping, the warrior didn’t land but remained suspended in the air. His lower body’s armor had been shattered, requiring time to auto-repair, preventing him from standing on the ground.
"More agile than I thought," Long Yi remarked.
The other warrior didn’t respond to Long Yi’s comment, for a simple reason. He was clearly at a disadvantage in the exchange, and no words would be of any use now. He had to pull off a resounding victory to restore his honor.
This Henki was a formidable foe! And of course, there were ways to deal with formidable foes!
The floating warrior’s body suddenly glowed with strange Runes, generating a special flow of energy that formed a unique force field shield around him.
"The Prophet’s Power."
That was the name of this magic shield spell, named because it was invented by a certain generation’s Prophet, so the warriors called it the Prophet’s Power.
