The surrounding players felt a powerful surge of energy rushing toward them, almost sweeping them off their feet. Their expressions changed drastically, and they hastily retreated, watching the two figures in the center with a mix of shock and fear. What an overwhelming presence!
Seeing movements from Nie Yan and Duo Duo, the players from both factions instantly focused their attention on this impending battle.
At that moment, hundreds of figures flew in from a distance, landing about seven or eight hundred yards from the battlefield. They were all Light faction players, with Cui Can Dao Guang and others at the forefront.
“We finally arrived on time,” Cui Can Dao Guang said with a slight smile, glancing toward the center of the battlefield. The duel between Nie Yan and Duo Duo had clearly not yet begun.
“How could we miss the showdown between Lord Nie Yan and the Angel’s Fall Guild Leader?” Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan said excitedly beside him.
“They’ve started!” Shui Se Yan Tou said, stepping forward.
The nearby Dark faction players, upon seeing Cui Can Dao Guang, Shui Se Yan Tou, and others, displayed fearful expressions and hastily retreated fifty to sixty yards.
Come on, facing people like Cui Can Dao Guang and Shui Se Yan Tou, how could they dare to block the way? That would be suicide. After all, those individuals could kill them without breaking a sweat.
Cui Can Dao Guang, Shui Se Yan Tou, and the others ignored the players around them, their eyes fixed intently on the center of the battlefield. Nie Yan and Duo Duo’s duel had already begun.
In addition to Dao Guang and his group, there were also some independent Light faction players, all of whom were naturally top-tier experts.
Among the crowd, Xie Yao, wearing her Sanctified Words spellcaster’s robe, was hugging a white cat. She gazed at Nie Yan at the center of the field, her noble and elegant demeanor captivating everyone’s attention. However, no one dared to approach her, for everyone knew that this stunning woman was Nie Yan’s girlfriend!
“It’s started!” someone in the crowd exclaimed.
Right then, Nie Yan vanished from everyone’s sight with a stealth maneuver, and the killing aura of the Zaynard Blade instantly disappeared.
However, precisely because of this, Duo Duo felt an even greater sense of danger!
Faced with a top-tier expert like Kuang Zei Nie Yan, Duo Duo dared not be the slightest bit careless. A moment’s inattention might mean Nie Yan’s dagger piercing through his chest.
In a duel between masters, a slight difference determines the outcome instantly!
Demon’s Eye!
Duo Duo’s black pupils transformed into a diamond shape, and every living creature’s presence around him was clearly reflected in his eyes. His gaze, as tangible as a physical force, swept across the battlefield instantly.
Yet he couldn’t spot Nie Yan’s whereabouts!
How could this be!
Duo Duo’s heart sank. He immediately activated Demon Perception. His powerful sensing ability spread instantly, and he felt an alarming chill from behind.
What incredible speed!
Nie Yan was faster than anyone else!
After turning invisible, Nie Yan activated Faen’s Shadow, moving like a ghost behind Duo Duo. With the Zaynard Blade in hand, he swung it toward Duo Duo’s head from behind.
At that moment, Duo Duo waved his right hand, and a massive black serpent, formed from dark energy, rose from the ground, wrapping around him tightly. With a puff, the black serpent shattered into pieces under Nie Yan’s slash, vanishing into nothingness. At that moment, Nie Yan noticed that Duo Duo had vanished like mist.
Tracking the residual dark energy from Duo Duo, Nie Yan growled, activating True Sight. Veins bulged around his eyes as two eerie red beams shot out, locking onto Duo Duo in the distance. As soon as True Sight was activated, a chilling aura emerged from the ground. Though barely perceptible, Nie Yan detected it instantly.
The shadows on the ground transformed into massive hands, reaching out to grab Nie Yan’s feet.
What an incredibly fast spellcasting speed! This person had somehow cast Shadow Bind without anyone noticing.
If it were an ordinary player, having just slashed through the dark serpent and suddenly encountering these silent shadow bindings, they might have been caught off guard.
However, Nie Yan had experienced countless duels in both his past and current life. His response to danger was extremely sharp. Just as the Shadow Bind was about to hit him, he activated Dash Step, using its invincibility effect to negate the binding.
MISS!
A number appeared floating above Nie Yan’s head. He suddenly reappeared fifty to sixty yards away and launched a lunge straight at Duo Duo’s chest.
Duo Duo’s body suddenly split into several illusions, dodging Nie Yan’s lunge. With a wave of his staff, the ground beneath Nie Yan suddenly softened. Around a fifty to sixty yard radius centered on Nie Yan and Duo Duo, the ground transformed into a quicksand trap.
As soon as the quicksand trap appeared, Nie Yan rapidly retreated dozens of yards with extreme speed. He slightly raised his eyebrows. During this time, Duo Duo’s strength had improved significantly. This guy was definitely the strongest opponent he had ever encountered!
Their initial exchanges were relatively restrained, both testing each other’s strength with basic skills. Although these skills were ordinary, when used by these two top-tier players, they became deadly threats.
Whether it was Nie Yan or Duo Duo, even the slightest lapse in concentration would result in immediate death.
The speed of their clash was too fast for ordinary players to follow. They only saw Nie Yan and Duo Duo’s figures flickering continuously, changing positions several times within seconds, leaving them completely bewildered. Only the truly skilled players could see the intense danger both Nie Yan and Duo Duo were in, causing everyone to hold their breath. If it were them up there, they would probably have died multiple times already.
Some players who couldn’t understand the fight downloaded videos from the forums, slowed them down many times, and watched frame by frame. They were chilled to the bone when they realized that in just a few seconds, Kuang Zei Nie Yan and Duo Duo had exchanged blows multiple times, each one perilous. Nie Yan’s attacks were fierce and lightning-fast, each one a deadly strike. Duo Duo, on the other hand, reacted with incredible speed, casting spells at an astonishing rate. Ordinary players needed to wave their staff multiple times and chant incantations to cast a single spell, while Duo Duo merely moved his lips slightly and waved his staff minimally to unleash a spell. The spells were seamlessly chained together, and any opponent who wasn’t careful would be caught in them.
“They haven’t used their full strength yet. Duo Duo is indeed very strong; our defeat was justified!” Cui Can Dao Guang remarked.
“Not used their full strength yet?” Several players from the Bull Tribe looked at Cui Can Dao Guang with wide eyes, finding it hard to believe.
“They’re still using basic skills. They haven’t started using advanced techniques yet!” Cui Can Dao Guang said, gazing at Duo Duo and Nie Yan on the battlefield with mixed feelings. Both Duo Duo and Nie Yan could be described as geniuses, and only these exceptionally gifted individuals could provide everyone with such a breathtaking duel.
The spectators struggled to follow the duel between Nie Yan and Duo Duo, while the two combatants on the battlefield were getting more and more into the rhythm. They were completely immersed in this confrontation, as if the entire world had narrowed down to just the two of them.
A black fireball floated out and landed among the spectators, exploding with a bang. The shockwave swept away twenty or thirty Dark faction players, who felt a chill in their hearts and hastily retreated hundreds of yards.
Nie Yan glanced at his skill bar. In just a few dozen seconds, he had already used over fifty skills. Without the Book of Order, granting him so many skills, he would have been somewhat short on them.
As the continuous duel progressed, Duo Duo started to feel the strain. His basic skills were gradually becoming insufficient. Nie Yan’s skills were too numerous, and his attacks were becoming increasingly fierce, forcing Duo Duo to constantly defend.
If this continued, his skills would be exhausted, putting him at a complete disadvantage.
The initial probing was almost over. Since that was the case, Kuang Zei Nie Yan, let’s settle this once and for all—who is the stronger one!
Duo Duo retreated over a hundred yards. Seeing Nie Yan pursuing, he roared with a deep voice, and a powerful current of energy surged upward. He slammed his staff into the ground with a thunderous boom. Cracks rapidly spread outward from the impact point.
Massive lightning bolts, like roaring serpents, radiated into the air from around Duo Duo.
Nie Yan saw the cracks rapidly approaching him. He leaped backward, braced himself with his right hand, and launched himself fifty to sixty yards away. He landed on both feet, barely stabilizing himself, and looked toward Duo Duo with a slightly serious expression.
Finally, both of them were about to unleash their ultimate techniques!
However, Nie Yan showed no sign of retreat. This was the real duel now; the previous skirmish was just child’s play!
Duo Duo flapped his golden wings behind him, slowly lifting off the ground. His robe fluttered in the wind like an ancient demon god. He uttered obscure and hoarse syllables, then swung his staff. A thick lightning bolt descended toward Nie Yan’s position.
What an incredibly fast magical attack! Nie Yan’s body suddenly dodged aside. With a thunderous boom, the lightning struck the ground behind him, leaving a deep crater three to four yards in diameter.
This was the destructive power of magic!
Seeing that his first strike had missed, Duo Duo continuously waved his staff, sending wave after wave of lightning bolts crashing down.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The magical explosions were as dense as raindrops.
The onlookers outside paled, wondering who could possibly evade such a dense barrage of lightning. The slightest delay in reaction would mean being struck repeatedly by the cascading bolts, reducing them to cinders.
Nie Yan’s figure kept flickering as he narrowly evaded the lightning strikes by employing Faen’s Shadow, a legendary footwork technique. The nearer he approached Duo Duo, the more densely the lightning rained down.
Duo Duo had completely transcended his class. His strength was indeed formidable, and his title as the Speaker of the Dark Council was well-earned!
