The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Chapter 26 Liu Hao Makes His Move!! Four People Surround Him!
Even though Liu Hao couldn't make out the man's back, he was extremely familiar with the Sword Immortal's movements. "Sword Immortal Shake," "Phantom Step"—these were techniques Liu Hao knew by heart. Of course, the reason Liu Hao was so familiar with them was simply because he had been utterly humiliated by the Sword Immortal Mo Qian so many times that they had become muscle memory.
"Brother Liu, look at that ID, it seems to be called 'City of a Thousand Oranges,' Brother Liu. What do you think, do you want it?"

The younger brother's expression was slightly lewd as he chuckled evilly.

"Okay, let's do it tonight! Get me a few numbers, and remember to be careful, don't let that big devil find out it was me."

Liu Hao, despite being terrified inside, still wanted to mess with Mo Qian. Mainly because he'd been beaten up too many times before. Mo Qian wasn't like Ye Xiu; if Liu Hao dared to speak disrespectfully, it would be a one-on-one fight, and he'd beat him to a pulp. Mo Qian's assessment of Liu Hao was:

"He loves to show off, but he doesn't have the ability to back it up."

As night fell, the number of people in the internet cafe gradually decreased. Mo Qian and Ye Xiu were both on their way to level up, completing their daily dungeon runs while farming the materials needed for their respective weapons. Since the materials required for the Thousand Chance Umbrella and One Thought God and Demon were mostly different, Ye Xiu didn't actually run every dungeon with Mo Qian, in fact, he rarely did.

"Old Ye, what level are you?"

"30."

Mo Qian was shocked. "How did you level up so fast? Did you secretly grind levels behind my back?"

Actually, you can't really blame Ye Xiu. His unspecialized character had an advantage over all other classes in the early game; no class change was needed, just learning basic skills – very convenient, right? But do you know why unspecialized characters are almost extinct? Since the introduction of the God's Domain, level 50 has become the limit for unspecialized characters. It's extremely difficult for them to complete the God's Domain quests.

Of course, this isn't a big problem for Ye Xiu. It's hard to find anyone in Glory whose skills can match Ye Xiu's. Even though Ye Xiu is getting old, there's a saying that goes, "His skills are still sharp," meaning he still has the ability. Being a fighter jet among the elderly is the best evaluation of Ye Xiu.

"Wait a minute, something seems to be going on here. Why does this Sword of Parting Sorrow look so familiar???"

Mo Qian looked at his teammates in the dungeon with a bit of a strange expression. Since Mo Qian's lucky charm, Qianqian, hadn't logged in yet, Mo Qian could only randomly join a team to level up. As a result, the more he looked at this magic swordsman, the more familiar he seemed.

"Earth-Shattering Wave Sword!"

Liu Hao was putting in all his effort to get Mo Qian's attention, his expression showing he was working hard. Yes, this "Sword of Separation" was Liu Hao, but for some reason, Liu Hao was now working so hard for Mo Qian in the dungeon.

"Brother Liu, weren't you going to get the Sword Immortal? Why are you grinding him up so hard?"

Do you think Liu Hao could answer his underlings that he was a bit of a coward? Of course not—so Liu Hao's answer was:
"I'm just trying to get the Sword Immortal to take me seriously for now. Only when the Sword Immortal takes me seriously will I have a chance to succeed."

However, Liu Hao was actually a bit of a coward. The past is the past, and the present is the present. Liu Hao's talk about taking down the Sword Immortal was just empty talk. If you really asked Liu Hao to target the Sword Immortal, he really wouldn't be able to do it.

"Hey? Do you think Brother Liu is a little hesitant to go?"

"Hey! What are you saying, kid? Be careful, Liu Ge might hear you and beat you up." Liu Hao: ... Could you guys speak any quieter? The neighbors could hear us!

"Hmph! You don't believe me? Just watch, I'll go right now!"

After speaking, Liu Hao wielded his demonic sword "Lihen Sword" and walked up to Mo Qian. By this time, they had already left the dungeon, and Mo Qian had just used up his uses. Mo Qian decisively left the party and saw the other four members of the party surrounding him.

"What? Is something wrong? Is this Liu Hao? Speak up!"

Mo Qian still doesn't recognize Liu Hao? What a joke!
However, Mo Qian received no response from Liu Hao. The four of them continued to approach Mo Qian, with Liu Hao, the demon swordsman, in the lead. "That kid clearly isn't up to any good," they thought.
"You think I won't recognize you just because you don't speak? Your 'Earth-Splitting Wave Sword' is still as terrible as ever—"

Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Liu Hao decided to stop hiding it and gave orders to his brothers in his voice chat:

"Brothers, charge! Get him!"

Liu Hao ultimately decided to take action; he couldn't lose his authority among his underlings, after all, he was the eldest brother.

"I think you've only learned your lesson the hard way—"

"Draw your sword and kill!"

A single slash, significantly longer than a normal draw slash, struck four opponents, instantly reducing their health by a significant amount. Did you really think Mo Qian's silver weapon was just for show?

"Sky strike!"

The battle mage on Liu Hao's side was covered in various dazzling patterns, which looked quite cool, but his Heavenly Strike didn't even touch the sword immortal's shadow. It can only be said that he was too naive.

"Useless trash! You still have to watch my move, Wave Slash!"

Putting aside everything else, Liu Hao's Wave Slash is quite skillful, but that's about it; Liu Hao's strength has already reached its limit.

"Phantom Step!"

Sword Immortal used the Phantom Step that had given Liu Hao a headache before. The key was that Liu Hao really didn't know how to deal with this Phantom Step. Liu Hao had been competing with Sword Immortal Mo Qian for so many years and had never seen it clearly even once. He was always fooled. This seemed to defy probability theory, but it was all due to Mo Qian's high level of skill.
