Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest.

Chapter 360: Confident Master Jing

King Ashura fell to the ground with a loud bang. Yan Yu put away his sword and turned back to Ye Jun, asking:

"How did you come?"

"You really killed this Asura King?" Ye Jun was also stunned.

Didn’t Indra say that the Asura King could not be defeated by one person alone?
"Yeah." Yan Yu said lightly, "It was a trick."

The "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" creates a large number of sword energy afterimages, usually used to hide the true form of the sword light and cover the sword immortal's attack. Therefore, it can also give people the inherent thinking that "the opponent's true form must be hidden in the sword light afterimages."

In response to this kind of thinking inertia, he deliberately did the opposite. He left the range of the sword energy afterimage and used invisibility to go around the enemy from behind to attack. This tactic had a well-known name among the sword masters in his previous life, called the "rabbit trick" - just like a magician deliberately attracting your attention with gorgeous techniques, secretly stuffing a rabbit into the hat.

Of course, in a truly high-end sword-fighting match, the key is to make the virtual real and the real virtual.

If you see "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" and immediately think that the opponent is going to attack from behind, then the opponent can just hide in the afterimage of the sword energy and launch a direct attack from the front... In short, although there are only two variations, when performed by a master, it can also achieve the effect of being impossible to defend against.

In the live broadcast room, the director played Yan Yu's "rabbit trick" over and over again:
Sword energy transforms into shadows! Trampling the Heavenly Gang! Hiding upon the ground! Flashing behind! Killing with one strike!

The five tactical moves were completed in one go, and the total duration was only two seconds. Even at a slow motion speed, there was still a sense of swift beauty like flowing water, so that the live broadcast room instantly boiled over, and a large number of exclamations swept down like a waterfall.

"It's really...it's really..." Zhou Erhe stammered for a long time. For a moment, he couldn't think of any words to praise. He only hated his poor vocabulary of the elementary school education.

"Gorgeous!" Xu Dongming suddenly shouted.

"Right, gorgeous!" Zhou Erhe, waking from his dream, commented sharply, "Five extremely concise tactical moves, compressed into two seconds, executed in one go. Even in slow motion, they retain their ultimate, magnificent beauty. At normal speed in real life, no one would be able to react!"

"This is the pinnacle of Dragon City Flying General's strength!" Xu Dongming, not wanting to be outdone, quickly chimed in, "Dear viewers, do you still remember Dragon City Flying General's lightning three-hit combo in the Three Islands Treasure Ship Secret Realm, strolling leisurely through the minefield, leaving all explosions behind? Nothing in the world of martial arts is invincible except speed, and Dragon City Flying General has once again proven today that his mobility has reached the pinnacle! From now on, his signature move won't be the lightning three-hit combo, but the whirlwind five-hit combo!"

"The three-hit combo evolved into a five-hit combo, right?" Zhou Erhe said.

"I will leave countless sword energy afterimages in front of you, and my real body will appear behind you and kill you in seconds. Are you afraid?" Xu Dongming shouted.

"What if the opponent sees the five-hit Gale combo and subconsciously defends behind him?" Zhou Erhe joked.

"Then I won't attack you from behind," Xu Dongming argued immediately. "I'll go around to the left, attack from the right, or even jump over your head. What will you do?"

At the Annan National Defense College, the members of the Qing'an team fell into deep thought when they heard the commentator discussing how to deal with the "Five-Hit Gale" attack.

Li Zhaojiang was silent for a moment and said:

"It's actually not difficult to deal with someone attacking with invisibility activated. After all, a spiritual sense scan can break invisibility."

"The key is that he's too fast," Li Minghu echoed. "When you saw him performing the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix and concealing his form from the front, before you could activate your spiritual sense scan, he might have already circled behind you."

After everyone thought about it carefully for a moment, they all felt that it was really difficult to deal with.

As the commentator said, the only way to defeat all martial arts is to be fast. I can understand all the mechanics, but I can't react fast enough, so what can I do?
Either you learn from Ye Jun of the Longxiong Team, take out the Xuanguang Ruler and shake it to create a 360-degree defensive shell around your body, no matter where the attack comes from; or you have to practice your reaction speed hard to avoid falling behind the rhythm of the Longcheng Flying General. But it is hard to say whether you can practice it, after all, reaction speed is still a matter of talent.

"For Haoran's second magic weapon, let's choose a defensive type." Li Zhaojiang made the decision.

The Qing'an team made tactical adjustments, while the Huofeng team was collectively silent.

Zhang Huaide didn't say much. After all, the mechanism had been explained by the commentator, and there was nothing wrong with the analysis.

But Captain Zhou...

He glanced at Zhou Hongyu from behind his glasses and saw that although she had no expression on her face, her hands on her knees were clenched into fists, suggesting the strong resentment she felt at the moment.

Captain Zhou had always considered Team Yan her target. Now, the gap in strength between them was visibly wide, and there was no hope of her catching up or surpassing Team Yan in the near future.

I just hope it won’t affect her subsequent performance.

--------

Yan Yu and Ye Jun passed the first level, but Liu Longtao and Xie Ruoxi were unaware of this and continued along the mountain road of Heigouling.

Frightened by the Jade Pivot Thunder in Xie Ruoxi's hand, the wild dogs transformed from lonely ghosts did not dare to approach, but followed the two of them stealthily, gathering in larger and larger numbers.

Liu Longtao saw that the situation was not good. He knew that as long as the number of these things reached a certain level, they would sooner or later overcome their fear and besiege him. It would be safer to take advantage of the fact that their number was small and start fighting directly.

"Get ready." He sent a voice message to Xie Ruoxi.

Xie Ruoxi hummed, took out the pill from the bag, stuffed it into her mouth, and slowly dissolved it under her tongue. Liu Longtao was stunned, thinking to himself, "Haha, your true energy is really not working anymore, right?" He sent a mocking voice again:
"If your true energy can't hold on, just tell us. Let's take a break so we don't lose our composure when the real battle begins."

"No." Xie Ruoxi replied, "I have plenty of True Energy."

"Abundant True Energy?" Liu Longtao sneered, "Then why did you take that pill?"

"It's not a pill." Xie Ruoxi took out a corner of the package from the bag and showed it to him. "Maltesers."

Liu Longtao: ………………

Seeing his frustrated look, Xie Ruoxi immediately became alert again. She quickly stuffed the package back into her pocket and said in a voice transmission:

"Don't ask me for more. There are only two or three left. It's not enough for me to eat alone."

"Who wants to eat your crappy snacks!" Liu Longtao almost blurted out, but he managed to suppress the urge to complain and continued to transmit, "Prepare to kill the dog."

"Ok."

The two continued forward for dozens of steps, then suddenly turned around and started killing.

Liu Longtao displayed his swordsmanship, precisely severing several stray dogs in half. Xie Ruoxi was even more spontaneous, hurling Jade Thunder wherever there were more dogs, killing three or four times as many stray dogs as Liu Longtao, leaving even Master Jing speechless.

Are you really not going to save even a single bit of your true energy?

These ghosts transformed into wild dogs had intelligence similar to that of animals. When they were suddenly attacked, they immediately turned around and scattered, disappearing in the blink of an eye, leaving behind only a few corpses and a rusty nail.

Liu Longtao scanned it with his spiritual sense and found that this thing was actually a magic weapon, so he put it away casually.

The two continued to move forward along the mountain road, but they didn't know that the sound of the battle just now had spread far away and alarmed the Onmyoji team led by Sato Hiroshi.

Everyone quickened their pace and hurried over secretly. When they turned the corner, they saw two people walking on the mountain road in front of them from a distance.

The man on the left, whose back view is very oppressive, is Liu Longtao, the captain of the Luguo Longxiong Team. The nickname given to him by the Sakura Empire is "The Demon King of the Fierce Dragon", and the meaning is obvious - Liu Longtao has the combat strength of the Demon King level.

The female cultivator on the right…who was she? He didn't know her. She was probably just a small-time character. Anyway, the Yin-Yang Academy had spent time researching the intelligence on any of the more powerful cultivators in Lu State, so he could confirm that he had never seen this person.

"Team one, go around the front and set a trap!" Sato Hiroshi quickly ordered. "Team two, follow behind and go around the back. Keep your distance!"

The so-called "keeping distance" meant staying outside the Lu Kingdom cultivator's spiritual sense scanning range. The Onmyoji's fighting style has always been obsessed with detail, and even the most resolute warrior class favors exacting angles and force when striking with a blade.

A team of four Onmyojis quietly summoned their Shikigami and led the team up the cliff, preparing to go around to the front to encircle the two Lu monks; the second team continued to move forward secretly, following behind Liu Longtao and Xie Ruoxi, maintaining the maximum distance that their spiritual sense could scan - this distance mainly depends on the monk's own cultivation level. The higher the level, the larger the scanning range.

Although Xie Ruoxi is at the Marrow Cleansing Stage, her talent for cultivation is truly too exaggerated, and the range of her spiritual sense scanning is slightly wider than that of the Lu State cultivators of the same stage.

While he was on guard against the pack of wild dogs, he suddenly noticed a few sneaky and unfamiliar extraordinary people entering his spiritual scanning boundary from behind.

"There are enemies." She suddenly stopped and sent a voice message to Liu Longtao, "It seems to be an Onmyoji."

"Don't stop, keep going." Liu Longtao reacted faster and responded quickly, "Pretend you didn't notice them."

"Yeah." Xie Ruoxi continued to move forward.

"It's the same hand and foot." Liu Longtao quickly reminded.

"Oh oh." Xie Ruoxi quickly adjusted herself.

"Your mental state isn't very good." Liu Longtao finally seized the opportunity and taunted him with a voice transmission. "How does Old Yan train you normally? You're still nervous at a time like this? Weren't you so majestic all the way here just now?"

Xie Ruoxi thought to herself, what do you know? How can PvE and PvP be the same?

In the team's internal training before, she had never won against Lin Ning and Su Yunjin, and the beating she suffered by Yan Yu almost left her with a psychological trauma. Now she has to fight a life-and-death battle with the top extraordinary people from other countries. It would be strange if she was not nervous.

"Don't worry, I'll win," Liu Longtao laughed. "When it comes to experience fighting those bastards, even Old Yan can't compare to me."

"Tsk!" Xie Ruoxi's attention was diverted by the mention of Yan Yu. She said impatiently, "Can you still compare to our captain?"

"Just wait and see!" Liu Longtao said generously.
