Chapter 1213: Chapter 1213 Defense Chapter 1213: Chapter 1213 Defense Ding ding ding ding ding…

Li Yao’s arrows, like a violent storm, could only be deflected off the blood-colored armor, sparking little flecks of Mars.

“It’s useless; the Evil Blood Armor is a defense you cannot breach.” Kure glanced at the Blood-colored Longbow in his hand, slung it over his back, and drew two Blood-colored Longswords, “You are strong, your attributes may be weaker, but your technique is the best I’ve encountered in my life. I, Kure, have never met an equal at my level, and I didn’t expect to be surpassed by you. However, that doesn’t mean I’ve failed. I can’t kill at a distance, but I don’t believe you can be that strong in close combat. Even if you are, it doesn’t matter, you can’t break through my armor.”

“Let’s try then.”

Li Yao’s hands flashed with two Single-handed Sickles, his expression solemn, and he vanished from his spot in a flash.

Ruthless Blade!

Li Yao’s figure suddenly appeared beside Kure, his sickles ferociously striking the opponent’s body.

Kure’s lips curled into a slight smile; he didn’t dodge or move.

Dang, dang…

Li Yao appeared, disappeared, then appeared and disappeared again, striking six consecutive blows, but he couldn’t breach the opponent’s defense.

“The defense is indeed high,” Li Yao laughed, “Reaper’s Scythe, seems like it’s still a bit low in rank, time to collect the remaining fragments.”

The audience was about to curse, this damn boss is too shameless; attacking so fiercely and still having such invincible defense when almost dead, how can this even be played.

“I told you, it’s useless, you can’t break through my armor.” Kure slowly walked towards Li Yao, his eyes fierce. The original composure and calmness had completely disappeared. Li Yao’s shocking performance, completely overpowering him with technique, was driving him crazy. It had always been him crushing others with technique, never imagining he’d face such a day.

Everyone saw Li Yao standing motionlessly in his spot, assuming Li Yao had given up. Facing such an unsolvable presence, anyone would feel hopeless. Unable to break the defense, how can this be played.

And under normal circumstances, even if the defense isn’t breached, one would lose a drop of blood, but the opponent didn’t lose a drop, he couldn’t be killed.

“Truly a wise man, you’ve given up futile struggles.” Kure suddenly raised his weapon, emitting a blood-colored light, and slashed towards Li Yao.

“Trash, Prairie Fire is nothing more than this…”

“Idiot, still teaching, teaching your mom, garbage technique.”

“Trash, trying to show off and failed, awkward, right?”

Li Yao’s oppressors were all voicing their indignation.

Many audience members were angry; failing against a high-level boss was normal. Even if Prairie Fire failed this time, what he demonstrated and taught everyone was profoundly beneficial.

These ungrateful people, not only were they rude, but they angered most people. You can hold a grudge and hate someone, but after learning their technique, at least show some respect for now.

Just as the audience was about to retort with curses, they witnessed an unbelievable scene.

Seeing the boss making a move and Li Yao still motionless, everyone thought he was giving up and waiting to die. Suddenly Li Yao raised his weapon.

The Thousand Mechanisms Bow transformed into a great sword and ferociously collided with the opponent’s blood-colored Double Swords, clashing with a harsh metallic sound.

In the incredulous gazes of the audience, Li Yao suddenly pushed forward with his weapon, shocking Kure with his eyes wide as he was forcefully knocked down.

Li Yao slowly walked over to him and said indifferently, “I originally wanted to hold back, but I didn’t expect you to have such a shameless armor. But no matter, today let everyone know that apart from countering moves, there’s also reverse defense post-level forty.”

Li Yao suddenly swung his weapon and chopped down on the fallen Kure, causing Kure’s health to drop significantly.

“As the name suggests, a successful counterattack can reduce the opponent’s defense; it’s similar to breaking a move but requires a different application. Breaking a move is a skill, while a counterattack also needs enough strength to support it. You cannot be overwhelmed by your opponent’s strength, or else you’ll be the one to fall.”

The voices that were still cursing Li Yao stopped abruptly; they couldn’t believe he was still human.

Life’s dramatic ups and downs were really too sudden; they thought Li Yao was doomed, but he unexpectedly revealed a new technique.

“He doesn’t leave any room for others at all, big brother is really too bad,” Tong Tong immediately turned from anger to joy.

Li Yao’s comrades were also feeling uneasy. If Li Yao had died, it would have definitely affected the promotional effect for the guild, but they hadn’t expected such a reversal in the plot.

“He’s truly a little monster,” said a tycoon of the Light Faction with a sour tone.

Cain said proudly, “Look at whose successor he is; his mentor is a shining figure of a generation, our faction has its future secured.”

The tycoons from the other factions rolled their eyes in response, “He’s not even your successor, what are you bragging about?”

“You monster, you’ve even mastered close-range counterattacks, who on earth are you?” Kure got up, looking at Li Yao with full of disbelief.

“Close-range counterattacks, I’m somewhat a close-range fighter too, what can’t I master? Besides, are counterattacks that hard? Your movements are just too slow,” Li Yao said calmly.

“You should die,” Kure’s body transformed into an afterimage, striking at Li Yao like lightning.

Blood Shadow Kill!

“Too slow,” Li Yao said as he once again lifted his weapon.

The weapons of the two collided once more, and without any surprise, Kure’s body slammed back to the ground.

“The principle of counterattacking is simple; it’s similar to breaking a move, but there are differences too. Breaking a move is about finding the opponent’s body vulnerabilities while they attack to create the break effect. Counterattacks are different, in some cases, the opponent’s vulnerabilities are concealed. Like this Kure, even if there’s a vulnerability in his attack, his body is well protected, making breaking the attack possible but with a high chance of failure.”

“This is where counterattacking comes into play. No matter how well his body is protected, during the process of attacking, his body must move, which is catching the moment each move makes the body move or lose balance and knocking the opponent down,” Li Yao took him down again.

Everyone was speechless; it sounded simple, yet deciphering such ancient divine techniques was far from easy.

“Some might think, with such complicated techniques, it’s impossible to research every move. It’s not entirely true though; with strong spiritual power, one can seize the fleeting opportunity. Methods vary, but principles remain the same. By mastering the counterattacks of common techniques, one can derive a wider application from one principle, getting better with practice,” Li Yao explained.

While speaking, Li Yao knocked down his opponent for the third time.

“Ah, sorry, I wanted to play a bit more, but you’re out of blood, time to send you on your way.”

Li Yao swung his sickle suddenly, severing Kure’s head. Kure’s eyes were filled with humiliation and unwillingness.

Along with Kure’s death, the Array of the battlefield shattered resoundingly.

“The field is broken, kill!”

“Kill!”

Legions from several factions frantically stormed toward the capital…
