Chapter 117 Spiral Qi Kill

Beneath a tall, dense pagoda tree, Liu Yun held the heavy sword Flame Shadow with both hands, facing the tree trunk, unmoving. Hai Wu Liang, back pressed against the trunk of the pagoda tree, also unmoving.

The scene was frozen in this instant. No one knew how it would develop next.

The distance between the two sides was already very close. If the characters had breath, they might be able to hear each other in this quiet forest.

Hai Wu Liang, with his back against the pagoda tree, gently, gently, squatted down.

At this time, let alone a sneak attack, it was difficult even to get around the tree and face the opponent head-on. Their opponent, Lu Hanwen, reacted extremely quickly and attacked extremely quickly, having already guarded those two directions to the death. Extend your head, and he'll chop it off; extend your hand, and he'll cut it off; extend your foot, and he'll hack it off.

The scene was still, but the two were constantly thinking.

Fang Rui's perspective was constantly flickering, observing everything in front of him, looking for a way to quietly escape with the protection of the big tree.

It was a bit difficult, Fang Rui thought, but right now, there was no better choice. This bit of difficulty was cheaper than directly rushing out from the left or right. Rushing like that would definitely lead to being at the mercy of the opponent's preemptive strike.

So Fang Rui began to act.

The first step: Hai Wu Liang squatted down.

Then, he gently turned 180 degrees, and then, step by step, slowly retreated.

Fang Rui didn't choose a potentially faster roll. At this moment, he didn't dare to let his perspective deviate in the slightest. He wanted to closely monitor what was in front of him.

Left, right, no movement.

What was the opponent waiting for?

Fang Rui didn't know, but since he had made his decision, he would naturally carry it out firmly. Hai Wu Liang continued to retreat.

Then, right at this moment, figures finally flashed out from behind the pagoda tree, flashing out continuously.

Six Liu Yuns suddenly rushed out.

*Jianying Bu* (Sword Shadow Steps)!

It could only be *Jianying Bu*.

Lu Hanwen controlled the six sword shadows extremely well. Fang Rui couldn't tell which was the real body for a moment.

There was no more room to retreat, only frontal combat. Fortunately, Fang Rui had made Hai Wu Liang retreat with his back, and his perspective had been locked in this direction, so he wasn't caught off guard.

*Di Lei Zhen* (Landmine Vibration)!

Hai Wu Liang's palms slammed into the ground. All six sword shadows would be affected by this attack. He wanted to use this to find the real body.

As a result, all six sword shadows jumped up, dodging the *qi* attack from the earth's crust.

*Yinguang Luo Ren* (Silver Light Falling Blade)!

Six swords, as if woven into a sword array, struck together, silver light fluttering.

Hai Wu Liang didn't dodge, but crashed into one of them.

"Did he see it?" Pan Lin shouted.

"Probably not!" Li Yibo replied. He wanted to say a few more words, but there was no time at all. The six swords of the six Liu Yuns changed direction at the same time, all pointing at the crashing Hai Wu Liang.

Among the six swords, five were fake, but if Hai Wu Liang still stubbornly forced his way through, he would inevitably be hit by all six swords. Then it wouldn't matter which one was real; he would definitely be hit.

*Yinguang Luo Ren* also had a knockdown judgment. Although it could be resolved with a *shoushen* (recovery) operation, with Lu Hanwen's reaction and operation, continuing the attack was not difficult at all.

*Qi Bo Dun* (Qi Wave Shield)!

Hai Wu Liang waved his palm, and a *qi* wave shield flashing with *nianqi* (psionic energy) ripples was pushed out.

"This..." Pan Lin couldn't understand. The *Qi Bo Dun* wasn't a *nianqi zhao* (psionic energy shield) and couldn't protect against attacks from all directions. At this time, six heavy swords struck down, and this *Qi Bo Dun* could only block two swords at most.

"Brilliant!" Li Yibo understood at this time and shouted.

But the tense battle situation still didn't give him a chance to explain. Hit!

The shockwave of the *Yinguang Luo Ren* attack spread out. Even the phantom attack of the sword shadow would create such a phantom effect. But Hai Wu Liang's body had already tilted to one side. Obviously, he had been hit by the real sword after all.

But the tumbling Hai Wu Liang immediately slapped out a palm.

*Qi Bo Dan* (Qi Wave Bullet), heading towards the face of one of the Liu Yuns.

The real body?

The real body!

After Hai Wu Liang ate this attack, he immediately judged which of the six Liu Yun sword shadows was the real body based on the direction in which he was hit.

"The probability of randomly hitting the real body by crashing into one of the six sword shadows is not high. However, Lu Hanwen immediately turned all the sword shadows to change their attack, indicating that the one Hai Wu Liang crashed into earlier was not the real body."

"Furthermore, although the *Qi Bo Dun* can only block two swords, those two swords are the two that Fang Rui felt would be difficult to deal with if there were a real body attack."

"In fact, those two swords were not real body attacks either. Then the possible direction of the real body was only three swords left. Fang Rui had forcibly resolved the three most difficult attacks, and he also had accurate psychological predictions for these three attacks, so the final situation was broken open by him layer by layer."

Li Yibo also rattled off a quick explanation, seizing the time to explain Fang Rui's thought process in that instant.

"Amazing!" Pan Lin exclaimed. Such a moment, yet such meticulous logical thinking. As expected of a top Glory expert, this Glory level is high.

Through this series of responses, Fang Rui finally allowed his character to break away from the passive state.

*Qi Ren* (Qi Blade)!

Hai Wu Liang secretly搓了个 *Qi Ren*.

It was just that in the mist, the trajectory of this skill became clear, making Fang Rui a little annoyed.

"Senior, I've already said that my eyesight is very good." Lu Hanwen saw clearly and easily manipulated Liu Yun to dodge it and continue attacking.

"Okay, I'll remember." Fang Rui replied, and Hai Wu Liang took a few more steps back.

In the past, Fang Rui would definitely use the surrounding trees at this time, hide behind them, and then launch a surprise attack from the left or right.

But now, the opponent's eyesight and reaction were really quite amazing. Fang Rui had already experienced how embarrassed he was to hide behind a tree once before. This kind of gameplay that challenged the opponent's eyesight and reaction was useless against Lu Hanwen.

The current situation was a bit unfavorable for him, Fang Rui knew very well.

In such a map, Lu Hanwen's eyesight and reaction were extremely sharp weapons, and these two weapons were precisely the most advantageous for dealing with sneak attacks.

It was rare to realize that a sneak attack was happening only when the attack hit. In most cases, the sneak attack was to catch the enemy off guard. But Glory matches were not large-scale battles after all, especially in one-on-one matches, where each person controlling their own character was everything. If one could react quickly and deal with a sneak attack, then the effect of the sneak attack would be insignificant.

But Fang Rui was thinking too much about sneak attacks at this time. Right now, Lu Hanwen was sticking to him extremely closely, and the two sides were already in a head-on fight. This was not the style of Fang Rui, this *wusuoliu* (dirty play style) master. In other words, this was not his forte.

And Lu Hanwen, although not yet an adult, was an assault player in the Blue Rain team, a first-class head-on combat expert. In addition, his personality was positive, optimistic, and forward-looking. He was most excited about this kind of head-on confrontation.

"Senior, watch my sword!"

When Lu Hanwen砍下 this sword, there was still a message yelling in the channel. In the beginning, some people were worried that at this rate, this child wouldn't become like Huang Shaotian, chattering while fighting, right?

But after two years, everyone understood that this child sometimes yelled a few words purely because he was full of energy and had nowhere to vent it. His hand speed felt uncomfortable, so he put it into typing.

This seemed to be a phenomenon of not being able to control himself freely, but this child seemed to have endless energy. Such a somewhat wasteful use had never caused a problem, so everyone stopped worrying about it after a long time.

The dull sword wind of Flame Shadow rang out, and the mist was stirred up by it, rolling with the sword's momentum, sometimes thick and sometimes faint, actually changing.

Fang Rui was gradually being suppressed. This kind of fighting style was indeed not to his advantage. And the terrain conditions that he was used to using were also inconvenient to use because of Lu Hanwen's eyesight and reaction.

"Little brat, don't be too arrogant!" Fang Rui was still being stubborn.

"Senior, please give me more guidance." Lu Hanwen didn't know if these words were sincere or sarcastic.

"Good kid, I have to teach you a lesson." Fang Rui shouted, and Hai Wu Liang suddenly leaned his body and threw a punch.

*Luoxuan Nianqi Sha* (Spiral Qi Kill)!

Boom!

Because the distance was too close, Lu Hanwen really couldn't dodge this move, but the problem was that for this strike, Fang Rui's Hai Wu Liang also didn't dodge Liu Yun's *Yingfeng Yidao Zhan* (Wind-Welcoming Slash).

On Hai Wu Liang's side, there was a flood of blood, and on Liu Yun's side, there was a rolling *qi* force.

The audience was stunned.

Was this the lesson that Fang Rui wanted to teach Lu Hanwen?

What was this?

Wasn't this just a head-on, reckless fight?

There were exchanges in professional matches, but everyone exchanged in careful calculations. What was exchanged was not only life, but more importantly, creating better attack opportunities through the exchange.

But what about Hai Wu Liang's hard hit this time?

It was a pure exchange of "you hit me with a punch, I slap you with a palm." Then the situation didn't change much. How they fought before, they would continue to fight like that next.

It was too lacking in technical content. As expected, he only knew how to be *wusuoliu*! The scene was filled with boos.

Liu Yun, who had been冲开 by *Luoxuan Nianqi Sha*, had charged up again. What about Hai Wu Liang? Because he had been hit by *Yingfeng Yidao Zhan*, he had a certain amount of stiffness and couldn't respond immediately.

This was why everyone thought that his exchange was very lacking in technical content. If he could really take advantage of this strike to break apart the two sides, and then Hai Wu Liang ran away and started Fang Rui's擅长 *wusuoliu* (good at dirty play), then that would be an exchange with meaning. But now, after being hit by *Yingfeng Yidao Zhan*, the possible meaning of this exchange was completely cut off.

*Sanduan Zhan* (Triple Slash)!

Liu Yun used the skill to accelerate and get closer.

The heavy sword's *Sanduan Zhan*, the sword's momentum was mighty. Fang Rui's Hai Wu Liang almost didn't recover from the stiffness until the last moment.

Roll!

Hai Wu Liang immediately somersaulted on the ground, avoiding the third segment of the *Sanduan Zhan* strike.

*Luoying Shi* (Falling Flowers Style)!

Lu Hanwen's attack was extremely fast, and Liu Yun followed with a sword, pressing down on the somersaulting Hai Wu Liang.

Down!

*Luoying Shi*'s forced knockdown judgment was extremely strong, and Hai Wu Liang immediately lay flat on the ground.

*Luofeng Zhan* (Falling Phoenix Slash)!

This skill, which was often connected after *Shenglong Zhan* (Rising Dragon Slash), was used by Lu Hanwen on flat ground. Liu Yun made a dashing twisting motion, the sword tip touched the ground and swept up in an arc, rolled through the air, and fell…

Boom!

An extremely surging *qi* force directly slammed into Liu Yun's face.

*Nian Long Bo* (Psionic Dragon Wave)!

The surging *qi* force directly pushed Liu Yun up and finally slammed him heavily into a large tree behind him.

How could it be?

Lu Hanwen was surprised. Because *Luoying Shi* had a forced knockdown judgment, it was impossible to resolve it with a *shoushen* (recovery) operation, so there was no way Hai Wu Liang could complete the chanting of a *Nian Long Bo* so quickly. Could it be…

Did that *Luoying Shi* not hit?

Lu Hanwen recalled the feeling in his hands at that moment, recalling the life that Hai Wu Liang should have had before…

However, more people, such as Pan Lin and Li Yibo in the broadcast, had already seen it.

"Damn, so despicable… to actually lie on the ground and pretend to be hit, I've never seen anything like this before…" There was a round of discussion and condemnation at the scene.

============================

My sleep schedule is trending back to where it was, and I'm putting up a desperate fight. I heard that if you stick to a sleep schedule for 21 days, it will stabilize?
