When the huge countdown number suspended in the sky of the competitive arena changed from "1" to "0", the hundreds of thousands of spectators in the audience all held their breath and stared at Zhao Xi and Tao Zhiyaoyao, fearing that
Miss the exciting moment of the duel between the two sides.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Zhao Xi took the lead in raising his shield and strode towards his opponent.
As if following a standard procedure, he blessed himself with Holy Light Protection, Fierce Aura and Holy Blessing Aura as he progressed. The Holy Blessing Aura can enhance the resistance to poison from thieves' weapons.
Thieves are a profession with high agility and high attack. They have a natural advantage over Paladins with high defense and high physical strength. Moreover, the former can also carry out long-range attacks with the help of crossbows. If they do not approach the opponent quickly, they have basically no chance of victory.
Tao Zhiyaoyao's reaction was not unexpected. The white-clothed thief took off the black crossbow with his backhand and pointed it at Zhao Xi from afar with his right hand. He pulled the trigger with his index finger, and a crossbow arrow shot out!
Zhao Xi was already on guard and immediately raised his battle shield in front of him to block the crossbow arrows fired at him.
Snap!
The arrowhead collided with the shield and was nailed half an inch into it.
-27!
A small damage figure immediately appeared on Zhao Xi's head. Although his HP was not very high, this loss was completely harmless, so he casually added a holy healing spell.
Now Zhao Xi's Holy Healing Technique has been upgraded to the intermediate level. It can restore 10 HP points per second, and it only takes 3 seconds to make up for it.
But what he didn't expect was that after Tao Zhiyaoyao fired the first crossbow arrow, she didn't follow the regular fighting method of thieves and went into stealth. Instead, she fired multiple arrows continuously with her index finger!
Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
Black crossbow arrows struck through the air one after another. Zhao Xi blocked two arrows in a row and then quickly changed direction and moved to dodge.
Repeating crossbow!
The crossbow held by Tao Zhiyaoyao was definitely not an ordinary thing. Its continuous fire function was like replacing a single-shot rifle with a submachine gun. The firepower was so strong that even Zhao Xi would not dare to resist head-on.
-27!-30!-29!…
Facing the opponent's ferocious attack, Zhao Xi approached within a distance of 20 meters. His speed suddenly increased, and his trot turned into a sprint, intending to drag the opponent into a close combat in the shortest possible time!
But at this moment, Tao Zhiyaoyao put away her crossbow. She took two steps back and disappeared instantly!
sneak!
This is the most hated and helpless skill among thieves. Tao Zhiyaoyao's stealth skill level should be very high, the trump card for sneak attacks on Yin people, but Zhao Xi couldn't even see the slightest clue.
He had to stop and fell into a passive situation.
The thief cannot attack while sneaking. But it is impossible to predict when and where her attack will appear. Although many thief players like to use sneak + backstab to sneak attack their opponents, but the real master will never stick to it.
Routines.
I was in the light and the enemy was in the dark. Zhao Xi had no idea where his opponent was and could only stand where he was for a while.
"Are you stupid? It's behind you!"
Jeering suddenly erupted from the stands. Taozhiyaoyao's fans were obviously very happy about the predicament Zhao Xi was facing, and they shouted loudly: "Stab in the back, eviscerate the bones, stab in the heart!"
It's just that Zhao Xi couldn't hear them even if they shouted at the top of their lungs, because the sound from the stands was directly blocked by him.
And Zhao Xi did not panic as they expected. He slammed the bloodthirsty war shield held in his left hand into the ground, reached out and took out a medicine bottle, and calmly popped the cork and drank it.
He had just eaten a lot of arrows shot by his opponent's repeated crossbows, which could not be fully compensated by a holy healing spell. In order to save precious holy power, he did not hesitate to spend a bottle of precious medicine.
In the unrestricted area, the system allocates only five bottles of light healing potions to both sides of the duel. However, during the battle, it is very difficult to get and drink the potions because the opponent will definitely interfere and interrupt.
So in many cases, the losing party is unable to drink a bottle of potion until death.
Zhao Xi chose to drink medicine in order to save his holy power, which seemed to be the right choice. However, under the threat of sneaking thieves, his behavior seemed to be exaggerated, and he immediately attracted boos.
Only a few players noticed that while Zhao Xi was taking out the medicine and drinking it, his eyes were always looking at the surrounding environment, his body was slowly twisting left and right, and the blade of his right hand was faintly glowing with red-gold light.
Loose on the outside and tight on the inside is the most appropriate description of him at this moment!
Suddenly Zhao Xi's eyes condensed and focused on a certain position on the right. He suddenly dropped the empty medicine bottle, reached down with his left hand and instantly pulled out the spinning ax inserted in his waist, with lightning speed.
Throw it out with all your strength in the direction of your sight!
puff!
The gleaming small ax whizzed and whirled for more than ten steps, and the slash flew back to a certain empty space.
-97!
As a damage number flew up, Tao Zhiyaoyao's figure was revealed. The leather armor on her front chest was pulled open with a scar, and a little blood seeped out from it. It was extremely shocking to see.
There was a hint of surprise in the cold eyes of this female thief, obviously she was surprised by Zhao Xi's sudden attack.
In the stands, there were screams of exclamation!
"Well done!"
A certain thief who had just tasted the sweetness and now placed a bet on Zhao Xi jumped up with excitement.
In the previous showdown between Zhao Xi and Cheng Jin, he earned more than a dozen gold coins. This time, the audience was more than ten times larger. If Zhao Xi could win again, he might earn hundreds of gold coins!
Immediately there were countless vicious glances from the side, and the thief sneered and quickly sat down. Although it was said that the use of force was not allowed in the stands, it was still not good to provoke public anger.
However, the thief was also secretly wondering - how did Zhao Xi know the exact location of Tao Zhiyaoyao? Could it be that he had some special skills or the ability to predict the unknown?
In fact, Zhao Xi has neither special skills nor the ability to predict the future. He is just a careful enough observer and careful mind.
The competitive arena where the two competed was a very ordinary small plain terrain. The ground was covered with two or three inches of green grass. Taozhi Yaoyao's stealth perfectly hid her figure, but unless she remained motionless,
Otherwise, it will inevitably leave traces on the grass when moving.
Zhao Xi determines the location of his opponent by observing the green grass on the ground around him. This trick is worthless, and it's not like no one knows about it. It's just that Tao Zhiyaoyao moves very fast in stealth and knows her position.
It's one thing, but being able to hit it is another thing.
This is where Zhao Xi's ability lies. If it were other Paladins, even if they could see the opponent's position, they would have no choice but to rush forward and slash. However, no thief could just stay there and wait to be slashed.
A beautiful throwing axe, not only knocked out more than a third of Taozhi Yaoyao's HP, but also knocked her out of stealth state. Zhao Xi's counterattack can be described as impeccable!
"Holy crap! Paladins can still play like this!"
"What kind of weapon did he use? How could he still fly back?"
"It looks like a hand axe, but it can't come back when thrown!"
"Did you see that his judgment is very accurate and he has calculated the location of his attack!"
"A bit shameless, but I like it!"
In the auditorium of the arena, the players watching the game in the online game forum couldn't help but talk about it. Even those who supported Tao Zhiyaoyao had to admit Zhao Xi's strength.
However, they still firmly believe that the final victory must belong to Tao Zhiyaoyao.
Zhao Xi had just grasped the flying axe, and Tao Zhiyaoyao raised her dagger and pounced towards him. Her movements were so fast and fierce, like a female leopard pounced on her prey, her posture was beautiful but extremely dangerous!
Zhao Xi's expression remained unchanged, and the flying ax instantly disappeared without a trace in his palm. His left hand dropped to grab the bloodthirsty war shield stuck on the ground, and struck the opponent hard with a powerful shield strike.
The war shield roared with wind, but it failed to hit the target.
At the moment when they were about to collide, Tao Zhiyaoyao suddenly stopped.
She used the tip of her left combat boot to touch the ground as a support, made a perfect turn, and instantly went around to the right side of Zhao Xi. The dagger she held in her hand silently stabbed the latter's back.
Backstab!
