If this was in real life, Wang Yu would still be able to point the sword at a person’s throat to threaten him. However, in a game where a BOSS would have over a million HP and a player wouldn’t be able to finish off in a second, it wasn’t possible. Regis stared coldly at Wang Yu before floating backwards.
Wang Yu slapped his left hand and a white light surrounded Regis. Concurrently, he took a step forward as he thrust his sword forward. It pierced right into Regis’ throat.
-12456
The numbers appeared and Regis was struck into a state of silence. The body, which was floating backwards, couldn’t help but fall to the ground.
Regis’ expression changed as he lifted his left hand. Just when he formed his magic ready to retaliate, Wang Yu’s sword streaked across Regis’ wrist. Before Regis’ magic could be released, it was disrupted by Wang Yu again.
After being disrupted two times in a row, Regis flew into a rage. His right hand swept across as it brought along icy cold energy towards Wang Yu. Wang Yu brandished the sword in his hand steadily as the sword radiance flashed. At almost the same time, it struck Regis’ palm which had the icy cold energy forming on it.
“Pa!”
After a clear sound was heard, Regis’ hand was forced to a halt in mid-air as he dared to extend forward anymore.
Regardless of how impressive a Magician was, he would feel extremely awkward once someone got close to him. This was even true for a high-level opponent like Regis and especially so since he was up against an opponent like Wang Yu.
Regis was constantly swinging his arms and chanting his spells at Wang Yu. On the other hand, Wang Yu was constantly jumping on one foot, and every swing of his sword would be able to land a strike on Regis’ body. He was somehow also constantly able to hit the vital part of Regis’ body, forcing his attacks to be interrupted.
Regis’ gasp for breath was becoming increasingly heavy as his rate of attacks was also slowing down. As his face turned even more pale than before, Wang Yu was still able to maintain his form with only one hand holding the sword. He was able to play down every attack from Regis and had yet to use both of his feet. It was evident who had the upper hand in this battle.
This was the same BOSS that the entire Quan Zhen Sect was struggling to deal with. However, he was currently restrained by just one person. This scene was simply unimaginable.
The players from Quan Zhen Sect, who were used to Wang Yu’s disgusting skills, felt carefree and relaxed when they saw this. They were truly full of admiration for Wang Yu’s skills.
“This is the legendary sword art, right?” Vainglory looked on eagerly.
Restraining the BOSS to the extent that he couldn’t execute a single attack while holding the sword with one hand and one foot at a time. This was definitely not a system skill because of how shameless it was. Therefore, this must be a skill brought in from real life.
Boson replied, “F*ck! We’re all using swords but why do I feel that Crotch Lord and I are playing with hammers instead?”
Besides [Charge], Warriors’ attack skills were just the same few and merely a difference in the naming of the skills as well as execution. As for the simple attack, it was merely a swing of the sword which could not be considered a skill of any sort.
In a nice way, the true sword art should not be dependent on the sharpness of the sword but on the user’s cultivation. In a blunt way, there was really no skills involved. Presently, Boson felt ashamed of himself when he saw how Wang Yu adjusted his sword technique based on which angle he was approaching the BOSS.
Boson had also learnt sword art before, and he wasn’t weak in that aspect. However, when compared to Wang Yu, he finally realised how far he was from mastering the true sword art.
“I’m a shield user,” Crotch Lord refuted softly.
“Whatever you say! Then I’m a staff user but Old Bull uses his pole like he owned it as well. Just wait for him to show you how to use your shield!” Ming Du commented.
Frost Blade and Darknorth Fisher exchanged glances in silence. They were definitely thinking about the time when Wang Yu used a dagger.
Ling Longmeng touched her chin as she asked, “Hearing what you guys say, it seems like this fella really knows how to use every single weapon? I wonder if he knows how to use a bow.”
Vainglory remained silent because Wang Yu’s main weapon was his gloves set. He was the only person who was self-conscious enough not to compare himself with Wang Yu.
Yang Nuo subconsciously turned to look at Wang Yu as her heart was considerably sorrowful.
As compared to the rest, Yang Nuo was considered a professional. Therefore, her view of Wang Yu’s ability was far deeper than the others.
In the eyes of everyone else, they could only praise Wang Yu’s ability to handle the BOSS with one hand as impressive. Because Wang Yu wasn’t using any system skills, normal people wouldn’t experience the true insight of the skill even while analysing the recording.
Yang Nuo was different because she was a true professional. Even though Yang Nuo’s professionalism was vastly different from Wang Yu, she was still able to understand some of the skills displayed by Wang Yu. Of course, the more Yang Nuo know, the more she will be confused.
For example, Wang Yu’s speed of attack wasn’t considered fast and there was no real skill to analyse. However, Wang Yu’s angle of attack was exceptionally accurate. He was constantly able to disrupt Regis’ execution of his skill just before it was released. This was something Yang Nuo had never experienced or come across before.
“Little Snow, what kind of sword art is Brother Bull displaying?” Spring Halo squeezed forward to find Yang Nuo.
“I have no idea…” Yang Nuo shook her head.
“Great!” Spring Halo showed Yang Nuo a big thumbs up.
“Why is it great that she doesn’t know?” Ming Du and Vainglory asked.
“It is the wisest to know what you know and know what you don’t know. Little Snow is truly an honest person,” Spring Halo praised.
“… How shameless.” Everyone was stunned by Spring Halo’s words.
Yang Nuo smiled. “I am being serious because Brother Bull is not using any particular skill. However, every time he strikes, he seems to be able to anticipate the next position of Regis. With a simple swing of his sword, he will be able to hurt him. I am simply clueless as to how he does it.”
“F*ck! Godly judgement!!” Spring Halo cried out in amazement. As a calculative expert, Spring Halo’s judgement level was considerably high. Hearing what Yang Nuo said, he instantly shouted.
“How old-fashioned! Who still calls it godly judgement? In the world of martial arts, this is called the state of anticipation. Sister Clear Snow, am I right?” Vainglory smiled cheerfully.
“State of anticipation…”
Yang Nuo’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this term. State of anticipation was a realm in which only the legendary martial artists would be able to reach. Rumours spread that after reaching this realm, the martial artist would be able to see through every skill. There was simply no way to compare skills with other people because a martial artist of this realm would be able to easily restrain others.
A martial artist of this calibre would only appear once every few thousand years even in the famous era of martial arts. Could this fella have reached that legendary realm even at such a young age?
At the thought of this, Yang Nuo looked over at Wang Yu once more. This was when her heart silently accepted this fact. Indeed, Wang Yu’s ease of swinging the sword so casually and moving around a BOSS like Regis was truly a great display of the highest realm in the world of martial arts.
Just when Yang Nuo was still in undeniable shock, Regis finally couldn’t take it anymore. He fell to the ground after being stabbed by Wang Yu’s last strike.
