Chapter 162: Professional Standards?

Earth Element Shield!

Fireball Technique!

Xiao Feng knew Jianzhan Cangsheng's strength was not trivial, his attack power was extremely strong, so he had to first guarantee his own safety before considering an attack.

Otherwise, if both sides' skills took effect, even if he instantly killed the opponent, he himself would also be instantly killed at the same time, resulting in a draw.

「Heaven-Earth Killing Intent! 」

Jianzhan Cangsheng did not use his Technique, stood on the ground and directly released the skill.

Swish!

His figure vanished into thin air, human and sword as one, right off the bat it was a hidden ultimate move!

This clearly aimed to end the battle in the shortest time, sharing Xiao Feng's idea!

The Fireball Technique missed, and Jianzhan Cangsheng in the human-sword-as-one state would not take damage.

「Heaven-Earth Killing Intent! 」

Xiao Feng had seen this skill before; its damage was off the charts, even the arena was shattered.

This time his shield value reached over 30 million, he was at peak condition, and with double shield protection, he didn't mind testing its effect.

Hum~

The Jade Sword flashed, appearing above the side of Xiao Feng's forehead, then slashed downward.

Boom!

Xiao Feng's body shook violently, he stumbled backward uncontrollably, and the arena beneath his feet shattered again.

-13968889

A terrifying damage popped up from his head, actually reaching over ten million!

Jianzhan Cangsheng's figure reappeared, sword in hand, seeing that Xiao Feng's shield still had two-thirds remaining, he showed a look of surprise.

"Ten-layer Sword Heart can't break through, this shield is terrifying. Good thing I have another skill!" he thought to himself.

Xiao Feng unleashed a Lightning Arrow, but it had no effect.

His passive skill grants immunity to damage for the first 10 seconds of combat, and each time he takes a 100,000-damage attack, the immunity duration is reduced by 0.5 seconds.

Taking advantage of the invulnerable period, Jianzhan Cangsheng immediately used another hidden ultimate move.

"Soul-Extinguishing Sword Qi!"

The long sword in his hand burst with light, the weapon skill released in an instant!

【Soul-Extinguishing Sword Qi】: Ignores all damage reduction and shield effects, deals true damage equal to own level * 750 to the target, cooldown 7 days, after use cannot use any skills for 24 hours (current sealed power 30%).

In an instant, a burst of strong light erupted from the sword in Jianzhan Cangsheng's hand.

Xiao Feng saw countless tiny sword qi rush into his body, his whole body suddenly felt intense pain, as if his soul were being torn apart!

"So painful!" he couldn't help but cry out.

After playing this game for so long, this was still the first time he felt pain!

Even the arrow that Demigod City Lord Ka Xiu Shi used to instantly kill him wasn't as painful as this!

This damn thing is clearly not a game skill, but a physical strike!

-81000 (True Damage)

A damage number floated up from Xiao Feng's head, no longer offset by the shield, but truly deducted from his HP.

The health bar was halved, but the shield value remained.

Xiao Feng let out a slight sigh, "The skill is not bad, but unfortunately it still can't kill me."

Jianzhan Cangsheng smiled, "Is that so?"

As the words fell, the ring on his finger suddenly burst forth with a strong light exactly the same as before.

Moreover, its brilliance was even more intense than before!

【Time Reset】: Equipment skill. Copies the effect of the previous skill and additionally increases power by 20%, this skill ignores any casting condition limits, usable once per day.

"Not good!"

Xiao Feng felt a deadly threat.

Electric light instant!

He directly blinked, shifting to the edge of the arena.

But those tiny sword qi actually locked onto him and pursued again!

"Divine Power Spiritual Barrier!" Xiao Feng instinctively released the active skill effect attached to his magic robe.

But upon second thought, Divine Power Spiritual Barrier can only immunize against non-true damage effects below god level.

Jianzhan Cangsheng's skill is true damage, cannot be blocked!

Seeing those sword qi about to instantly kill him, Xiao Feng suddenly had a brainwave.

"Little Fire Person!"

Humm~

A mass of fire appeared before him out of thin air, condensing into a primary fire elemental over 4 meters tall.

The effect of the Soul-Extinguishing Sword Qi pursued and arrived, just being blocked by the suddenly appearing Little Fire Person.

Sizzle~

This block was perfectly precise!

The sword qi entered the Little Fire Person's body; this primary fire elemental with 170 million HP had a -97,200 true damage appear above its head.

But such minuscule damage actually made it go 'bang!' and shatter directly!

"How could this be?" Xiao Feng stared in disbelief.

Before he could rejoice at escaping disaster, the Little Fire Person vanished out of thin air, leaving him dumbfounded.

Could it be... because that strange pain sensation 'painfully killed' the little fire person?

This is impossible!

Not only Xiao Feng was surprised; Jian Zan Cangsheng was also stunned.

Before coming to the arena, he thought a single Soul-Exterminating Sword Qi could take down Xiao Feng.

But upon arriving at the scene, he saw Xiao Feng's HP was as high as 174,000, which his ultimate move alone couldn't defeat!

But at that time he wasn't panicking, because he calculated that his weapon skill plus his ring skill could reach a total damage of 178200, still enough to kill Xiao Feng!

But unexpectedly, at the last moment, Xiao Feng actually blinked to dodge the skill! Immediately after, he summoned a fire elemental, and in an instant that allowed no margin, he blocked this homing ultimate!

That split-second defense was simply marvelous to the point of a hair's tip.

If it were just a bit faster, the Soul-Exterminating Sword Qi would have time to react, automatically dodge the fire elemental, and then strike Xiao Feng.

If it were a bit slower, the fire elemental couldn't block it, and Xiao Feng would already have been slain.

"Impossible, impossible... he's just an ordinary person with slightly better luck; how could he have such skill?" Jian Zan Cangsheng muttered, unable to believe it was fact.

Even if he were the world's top professional player, in this situation it would be very difficult to make an extremely precise judgment, using a summoned object to block the fatal blow for himself.

Judging by the skill's speed, the operational margin of error must be within 0.1 seconds, otherwise the result is death!

But Xiao Feng did it!

Perhaps it was a fluke, or perhaps he really is extremely keen, and thus he blocked the second Soul-Exterminating Sword Qi!

The arena was silent.

The fire elemental completely dissipated.

Through the fading firelight, Xiao Feng, still feeling lingering fear, looked at Jian Zan Cangsheng.

"The profession of cultivation is truly strong..."

This skill refreshed his understanding of the Ancient Sword Immortal profession, and he vaguely felt some apprehension.

This time he managed to survive, with a large luck component; if he tried again, it would be hard to replicate the same operation.

But it's good; at least he didn't die.

After three consecutive ultimates, Jian Zan Cangsheng seemed to have no strength left to fight.

He threw a few magic skills over, but the opponent remained immune, yet did not launch a counterattack.

"You won; this time I am genuinely convinced."

Jian Zan Cangsheng was immune to water tornado and wind tornado, standing motionless in place, sighing.

At this moment, he seemed to have aged considerably, his whole person appearing somewhat decadent.

"Oh? You gave up so quickly? That's not like your style." Xiao Feng remarked in surprise.

The few previous encounters had let him feel that Jian Zan Cangsheng was a very proud person, who should not admit defeat.

Under his doubtful gaze, Jian Zan Cangsheng said: "The skill just now has side effects; I cannot act for 24 hours." He frankly stated his current condition.

Xiao Feng suddenly realized, "Such a high cost, no wonder it's so powerful."

Jian Zan Cangsheng asked: "How did you manage that just now? Was that split-second substitute a reaction made on-the-spot judgment?"

He couldn't understand how Xiao Feng managed it!

That level of operation was even more exquisite than that of a professional player!

As a professional player, Jian Zan Cangsheng well understood the difficulty therein, which is why he would say "genuinely convinced."

Xiao Feng shrugged, "I can't really explain it; maybe it's just luck."

"Luck? Hah... if nerve reaction speed isn't fast enough, even good luck wouldn't be this coincidental. I misjudged you; your strength truly isn't come out of nowhere." Jian Zan Cangsheng self-mocked, then actively triggered the surrender function, forfeiting the duel.
