Chapter 80 Warrior Duel

"The weak ones have finally left, leaving only the two of us, the strong ones, to fight each other."

"So, before we start fighting, don't you want to say something?"

Akaza was the first to break the silence. It seemed that this ghost was really interested in Fang Yi.

The one who responded was Fang Yi, who was unusually silent. Knowing that he was the only one on the field now and that he could not take advantage of the situation in this battle, he rarely said a word.

No matter if he interferes with others with words or hides his trump card, as long as he launches an attack that threatens the opponent, his fighting spirit will be captured by [Destruction Kill·Luo Needle]. This ghost is very confident in his ability and will not take any risks.

After the Nichirin Sword in his hand was attached with a large amount of positive energy from the [Reversal Technique·Strengthening], Akaza's [Destruction Kill·Needle] had obviously detected the threat and chose to dodge directly.

The [Water Breathing·II·Waterwheel] that cut off Akaza's arm only had a small amount of positive energy from the [Reversal Technique·Strengthening] attached to it.

So he avoided the opponent's [Destruction Kill·Needle], but obviously, that little bit of positive energy of [Reversal Technique·Strengthening] was not enough to suppress the resurrection ability of the Upper Three.

The entire battle fell into a paradox. It was difficult to hit the opponent using overly powerful skills, and weak skills had basically no effect due to the ghost's endless physical strength and resurrection ability.

So, should we try to force a stalemate? No, competing with a ghost in terms of physical strength is a bad idea. We should look for opportunities to weaken them.

Fang Yi just clenched the Nichirin Sword in his hand, began to breathe rhythmically, stared at Akaza, and waited for the other party to attack.

Akaza looked at the silent opponent and stopped talking. It had already understood the opponent's strength and physical fitness through previous battles.

If nothing unexpected happens, the opponent can be defeated in about five minutes, and the remaining time will be enough to kill the fallen "Pillar" over there and the "Pillar" who is still entangled with the Lower String without any pressure.

These swordsmen would not flee for the sake of their companions, so Akaza was naturally willing to fulfill his opponent's wish and kill them all.

It couldn't wait to taste the strong man Fang Yi. Tearing the strong man into pieces and killing him was its favorite thing.

【Destruction Killing·Extermination Style】

The simple punch brought amazing lethality, but Akaza knew that this devastating attack would be dodged by the opponent.

At this speed, after calculating Fang Yi's physical fitness, Fang Yi only has one space to dodge, that is to the left, and he cannot use the explosive technique of crouching and accumulating power.

Seeing Fang Yi's speed as he had expected, he barely escaped the attack range of his [Destruction Killing Style].

Akaza smiled, and as he had planned in advance, he used a new skill directly in the direction he thought Fang Yi would dodge.

【Destruction Kill·Kick Style·Flying Star Thousand Wheels】

The continuous kicks entangled in turbulent flow blocked all the opponent's space to dodge. The kicks were unpredictable, the trajectory was confusing, and as fast as a wandering meteor, leaving with astonishing power.

With this move, the Sun Blade in the opponent's hand will most likely reach the limit of its lifespan and end up in collapse.

The opponent will lose the ability to kill you and lose the initiative in the subsequent battle.

However, the scene that Akaza had expected did not happen. The combo he was about to launch after using [Destruction Killing Style] missed the target and was dodged by Fang Yi.

Akaza looked at his opponent who had become faster, and adjusted his 'lifespan' to six minutes.

[It still retains some strength? What an interesting opponent! I want to turn it into a ghost.]

At this moment, there are still thirteen minutes until dawn.

Fang Yi's physical fitness certainly didn't come out of thin air; he simply persevered and worked hard. The breathing technique of the [Water Breathing] style that Tomioka Giyu had just described had successfully triggered his talent, [Supernatural Gravity].

I got a promotion sound like this: [Tomioka Giyu] teaches you [Breathing Technique: Water Breathing]. [The teaching character is good at a high level of skill, which triggers a discount and requires 500 points.]

It is obvious that Giyu Tomioka has a deep understanding of the [Water Breathing] style. Combined with some sword moves that Fang Yi has already mastered, he successfully made the summary skill [Water Breathing] appear on the panel.

Lightspeed spent 1500 main god space points to upgrade [Water Breathing] to level 4. With the help of the breathing method, Fang Yi's physical fitness improved slightly.

Before the skill level exceeds lv4, the basic points added will have little effect on combat effectiveness. Only after lv5 will the points added require training and combat to make the actual level match the panel level.

In addition, Fang Yi had already acquired a lot of knowledge about the [Water Breathing] school from Nakamori Yuto through [Diligent Study and Improvement], whether it was sword skills or breathing techniques.

At the same time, he also practiced his sword skills many times in battle, so his mastery of the skill of [Water Breathing] was not low. Fang Yi even had a premonition that the skill level would soon rise to lv5 in battle.

Although [Breathing of Water] is a skill with a low upper limit, the upper limit of the skill level should not be very high. According to the strategy guide that Fang Yi spent 700 points on, it is a transitional ability.

But that temporary improvement in physical fitness, the skill to gain instantaneous explosive power, and the improvement in physical strength were obviously a life-saving straw for Fang Yi in this battle.

It successfully narrowed the gap in basic attributes between Fang Yi and Akaza, providing more room for operation and greatly improving the tolerance for error in this battle.

Fang Yi even left some room for improvement in his physical fitness. He didn't use the full-power breathing method, but just raised his physical fitness to the level where he could dodge the opponent's killing moves, hoping to trick Akaza again.

Fang Yi caught a glimpse of Tomioka Giyuu in the distance, who had slowly stood up and gradually regained his ability to move, and was rushing towards this side with a broken sword in his hand. He already had some ideas about this battle in his mind.

He threw the Nichirin Blade in Tomioka Giyu's direction, subtly imbuing it with the positive energy of [Reversal Technique: Strengthen]. He threw the blade specifically against a rock, creating a loud noise to ensure Tomioka Giyu could hear it. He then looked at Akaza and spoke loudly.

"I'm not a swordsman, nor am I good at swordsmanship. This Sun Blade in my hand is just for show and won't pose any threat. Let's decide the outcome with the skills of a warrior."

"The technique you use to perform the movement of your opponent is quite a tricky one, isn't it?"

Fang Yi assumed the starting stance of the White Eyebrow Fist, which he had become very familiar with over the past twelve years, and looked at Akaza in front of him.

As he expected, Akaza burst into laughter, with flames burning in his eyes.

The ghost's fighting spirit reached its highest point, and its voice echoed in the empty mountains, full of excitement and fighting spirit.

"Hahaha! Very good! This is interesting!"

Akaza laughed loudly, clenched his fists, and his aura became stronger.

"I knew my feeling was right. You are indeed a martial artist skilled in boxing, just like me."

"It's a pity that your fists have no killing power on me, otherwise our fight would have been very exciting and you would have lived longer."

Fang Yi smiled and began to answer Akaza's questions.

"If this battle were against you, you would win."

[I tricked it into talking a few more words, delaying it a little longer.]

At this time, there were still eleven minutes and thirty seconds until dawn.
