The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Chapter 55 Lord Grim vs. Night Rain's Scent: The astute Ye Xiu had already taken off his headphones long ago—

"Ye Qiu! Ye Qiu! Ye Qiu! Come on up! Come on up! Come on up!!!"

Huang Shaotian's greatsword was already itching for a fight, and he really couldn't resist the urge to attack Ye Xiu. Ye Xiu's unspecialized skills were something Huang Shaotian had always wanted to see. Winning or losing didn't matter, as long as he could have a match with Ye Xiu.

Huang Shaotian is the Sword Saint of Blue Rain. As the sharpest sword in the Blue Rain team, Huang Shaotian has every reason to be proud.

"I'm coming."

After adjusting his Thousand Chance Umbrella, Ye Xiu immediately went onto the field.
"This has a bit of a professional esports feel to it."

Jiang Botao watched the situation on the field with a smile, but the level of competition in this battle was likely to be even higher than that of a normal professional match.
"The competition begins!"

"Hehehe! Old Ye, I'm here. Don't say I'm bullying you. We've already started repairs here."

Huang Shaotian grinned mischievously. Ye Xiu's account was only level 40, and the Thousand Chance Umbrella had only just reached level 40. In contrast, Huang Shaotian's account was a max-level, god-tier account called Night Rain's Sigh.

Even with the corrections enabled, Huang Shaotian will definitely have a slight advantage in terms of account balance.
"Take this! Old Ye!"

Huang Shaotian drew his sword and charged forward, intending to strike first.

Huang Shao started with a triple slash, followed by the Sword Immortal's first move. The Sword Immortal's "Eighteen Forms" have been a staple for many professional swordsman players; it has to be said, they are truly effective.
"However, to use the skills of a sword immortal in front of me, Young Master Huang, you are a bit too confident."

Who is Ye Xiu? He's a ten-year longtime hater of the Sword Immortal. How could he not know the flaws in the Sword Immortal's Eighteen Styles, especially the first style, which Ye Xiu had already thoroughly studied?

"A triple upward slash, Phantom Shadowless Sword, hahaha, Old Ye, why did you switch to a shield all of a sudden? Are you scared?!"

Huang Shaotian's mouth hasn't stopped since the start of the game, but what Huang Shaotian doesn't know is that Ye Xiu can't hear Huang Shaotian's incessant chatter and is unaffected by Huang Shaotian's verbal attacks.
As for why Ye Xiu switched to his shield form immediately from the start, it was for the sake of stability and victory. It wasn't that he couldn't risk switching to his spear form to fight Huang Shaotian directly.
If you win the fight, that's fine, but if you lose, it'll be a tragic story—if Huang Shaotian gets the chance, the game won't necessarily end immediately, but Ye Xiu's health will definitely be significantly reduced.

"when!"

Another crisp sound of a shield blocking.
"Old Ye, can you please stop imitating that 'grinding king' Xu Bin? Your playing style is truly disgusting—"

At this moment, everyone in the audience turned their attention to Glory's number one knight, "Grinding King Xu Bin." Xu Bin looked at the other professional players with an innocent expression. What had he done? Wasn't he just a little tougher, a little more disgusting, and a little harder to beat?

Many of the professional players present had been tormented by Xu Bin. Even those who hadn't were familiar with his exploits. He was a real grinder. Knights have high defense, and the tough knights would occasionally use Shield Bash to annoy you. It was truly torture, and it was extremely painful whether you won or lost.

"Shield Bash!" Ye Xiu seized the opportunity and unleashed a shield bash. The opportunity Ye Xiu saw was a genuine one. This was not Ye Xiu's fault; it was a technique from the Eighteen Forms of Sword Immortal used by Huang Shaotian himself. So, don't blame Ye Xiu for being ruthless.

"Hey! Old Ye, you're still trying to launch a sneak attack? Don't even think about it!"

Huang Shaotian reacted very quickly, almost instantly, and then changed his actions, managing to dodge Ye Xiu's almost certain shield bash at the absolute limit!
"Hehe! You've taken the bait, haven't you?"

Huang Shaotian thought Ye Xiu was only on the second level, but in fact Ye Xiu was in the atmosphere. Ye Xiu's goal was not this simple shield bash, but the quick-switch attack that followed!

"Quick cut, spear form!"

Ye Xiu switched at lightning speed. The instant the Thousand Chance Umbrella transformed into its spear form, his hand was already on the skill button for Sky Strike.
"V-shaped Sky Strike!"

Ye Xiu's V-shaped Sky Strike is as fast as lightning, especially the quick slash after the shield bash, which is even more difficult to defend against.
"What!?"

Huang Shaotian really didn't expect this move. As expected, he was caught off guard by this high-angle Sky Strike. No one could have imagined that Ye Xiu's Thousand Manifestations Umbrella could switch from shield to spear form so quickly.

"Old Ye played really dirty."

How could Mo Qian not know Ye Xiu's tactics? As for why Mo Qian was so familiar with Ye Xiu's fighting style...

"How did you know, Mo Qian?"

Yu Wenzhou's lips curled slightly as he looked at Mo Qian beside him and asked,
Mo Qian didn't want to recall those tragic years, and simply said to Yu Wenzhou:

"Ahem, Xiao Yu, you know me. I beat Old Ye so badly back then that he couldn't fight back, so naturally I'm quite familiar with his fighting style. Alright, let's end this topic here!"

But the real truth is that Su Mucheng acted as the notary for Mo Qian and Ye Xiu's one-on-one duel, and as a result, Mo Qian was always suppressed by Ye Xiu's tactics at the beginning. It's said that those who play tactics have dirty minds, and Ye Xiu's mind is especially dirty.
After suffering ten consecutive defeats at Ye Xiu's hands, Mo Qian, deeply saddened by his loss, secluded himself for a month to cultivate and created the Eighteen Styles of the Sword Immortal, all in an effort to defeat his master, Ye Xiu, with a flurry of attacks.
After acquiring the Eighteen Forms of the Sword Immortal, Mo Qian suppressed Ye Xiu for a period of time. However, once Ye Xiu became accustomed to the Eighteen Forms, the two could only fight to a draw. Moreover, Ye Xiu and Mo Qian hadn't had a one-on-one duel for quite some time. It's unclear who is now stronger, the Sword Immortal or the Battle God.

At this moment, Wang Jiexi, the captain of Tiny Herb, was giving a pep talk to the new generation of his team.

"Yingjie, you should watch this match carefully. This is probably one of the highest-level one-on-one matches in Glory. It's rare to see Ye Qiu and Huang Shaotian fighting each other."
