14. Regarding the instant kill of Void and the level 75 Rain Flute

Want to try stream of consciousness?

"If possible, I hope not to, after all, when I challenged the Elf Fairy, she was completely distracted."

Leng Yihan shrugged helplessly and began selecting a map.

The first map in ranked matches is always Arena by default, but you can choose a different map after that.

The challenger chose the image, and Leng Yihan selected a forest image.

"This person? Isn't the forest the best place for me to shine..." Xu Kong said in confusion. He wasn't familiar with Leng Yihan, and this was his first time challenging him. He was still completely unaware of the strength of this number one on the God Ranking.

The two were separated by dense trees, but the system rules still stipulated that the two should not be more than 25 meters apart.

"3!"

Xu Kong took a deep breath, his grip on the knife trembling slightly.

What does this feel like? Excitement? Nervousness? Or panic?

"2!"

Leng Yihan silently put away her katana and took out her greatsword.

"1! Start!" The system countdown ended, and instead of rushing directly to Leng Yihan's spawn point, Void chose a more roundabout tactic, activating stealth and quickly running over.

The forest was quiet and silent, with a desolate air. When he arrived at Leng Yihan's spawn point, Leng Yihan was not there. However, Xu Kong had already figured it out. Leng Yihan must have rushed straight to his spawn point. After all, he must have known about this map when he chose it, and his strength was probably stronger than his own. In that case, he would definitely rush to the spawn point and fight him.

Luckily, I managed to flank them...

Void calmly walked back to the spawn point; his invisibility lasted for 6 seconds.

3 seconds.

With his invisibility time nearing its end, Void slowed his pace, cautiously observing his surroundings.

Suddenly, a burst of flames appeared before his eyes, and a greatsword slashed directly at him.

"!"

Void was shocked and hurriedly tried to dodge with an assassination attack, but the sneak attack came too suddenly and before he could use his greatsword, it had already struck Void.

Void's health plummeted, instantly dropping to 1%. Then, the burning effect from the attack triggered a level 70 survival skill.

The moment the skill ended, Leng Yihan switched back to her katana, Big Dipper, and instantly ended Void's life with only 1% health remaining.

"What the hell?!"

Seeing his health disappear in an instant, Void was almost dumbfounded. As soon as he returned to his room, he immediately opened the death replay.

After selecting Leng Yihan's perspective, you can see that he did rush towards his spawn point at the start of the game, but stopped halfway there and hid in the nearby woods.

He then rushed out from Leng Yihan's spawn point and headed back to his own spawn point. However, Leng Yihan had been charging up her greatsword for a long time before he even appeared in her sight. Leng Yihan unleashed her sword strike, and he ended up getting caught by it just like a fool.

His health bar dropped to 1% instantly. The subsequent burning damage triggered his survival skill, and Leng Yihan immediately used the Big Dipper Seven Stars to teleport to his side and unleashed seven consecutive slashes to finish him off.

"This... a single slash cuts off 99% of my health? How is that possible?!" In a daze, Void turned off the death replay and lay down on the sofa in the rest room with a look of despair.

Meanwhile, the barrage on Leng Yihan's platform was naturally dominated by the word "cheat." Just for that one strike that cut off 99% of someone's health, the entire barrage was filled with the word "cheat."

'One strike takes away 99% of a person's health? Is this the first one from the Orphanage?'

'Is this for real? Did the Oracle official team have some kind of secret deal with him? How could he be number one for three years with cheats?'

Leng Yihan opened a live streaming platform from within the divine oracle, glanced at the comments, and gave a helpless, bitter laugh.

If I wanted to, I could have killed Void in one hit, but the assassin's survival skills are really annoying, so I controlled it and only dealt 99% damage. Now I'm being accused of cheating because of that.

But then I thought, if I just killed someone instantly, I'd still get criticized, since a 100% one-hit kill would be even more outrageous.

Shutting down the platform and ignoring it, Leng Yihan awaits the next challenge.

20:13

Just as Leng Yihan was idly rummaging through her backpack, a challenge message appeared before her eyes.

"Sigh... Yu Xiao has finally arrived." After clicking confirm, Leng Yihan was teleported to the arena, where Yu Xiao, ranked second on the God Ranking, stood opposite her.

"The comments are all saying you're using cheats, what happened?"

"I just annihilated the void with a single sword strike."

"..." Yu Xiao's eyebrows twitched involuntarily. Sure enough, she couldn't let this guy unleash his sword-drawing slash.

"You choose the picture? I'll let you have it."

"Arena default".

Yu Xiao did not refuse; being polite was useless if she wanted to defeat the person in front of her.

After Leng Yihan selected the map, the countdown for the match began.

"3!"

Leng Yihan picked up the katana, her eyes becoming serious for the first time.

In terms of pure skill, he may not be as good as Yu Xiao, but he can make up for it with equipment.

"2!"

Yu Xiao took a deep breath. The first year was alright, but when level 70 was first released, Leng Yihan's skill damage was even more outrageous. Once, she wasn't paying attention and was directly cut down by Leng Yihan in one strike.

Yu Xiao also came to the conclusion that competing with him in terms of skills was definitely not a good approach.

"1! Start!"

The distance of 25 meters was not far, and Yu Xiao used Knight's Charge to instantly rush towards Leng Yihan.

As Leng Yihan leaped back to dodge the charge, he sidestepped Yu Xiao's spear tip aimed at him, then used his katana in a three-stage slash to flash behind Yu Xiao, switching to his greatsword and unleashing a sword storm.

Yu Xiao immediately activated the counter-damage, and Leng Yihan had no choice but to interrupt the Blade Storm, otherwise the counter-damage alone could have crippled her instantly.

Yu Xiao turned her head, jumped back to enter the optimal attack range of the spear, activated the gravity field, and instantly unleashed a four-hit combo.

The basic combo for the spear knight is a normal attack followed by a heavy thrust followed by a double thrust to unleash a four-hit combo.

In the gravity field, movement speed and attack speed will decrease. Leng Yihan used Silver Light Slash to teleport behind Yu Xiao and charged up a slash, but Yu Xiao reacted quickly, turned around, blocked it, and knocked her away.

The sword intent triggers the equipment effect to remove the floating effect. At the same time, the user switches to the katana Big Dipper and teleports to Yu Xiao's side, unleashing seven consecutive slashes. At the moment of the attack, the user jumps to the side to dodge Yu Xiao's attack and instantly knocks Yu Xiao away with a rising dragon slash.

"Hehe..." Hearing Yu Xiao's laughter, Leng Yihan realized something was wrong and quickly jumped back. Yu Xiao, in mid-air, turned around and thrust his spear straight at him.

Seeing that she couldn't escape, Leng Yihan immediately drew her greatsword to parry. After taking the hit, Leng Yihan's health dropped rapidly, and she also received a buff.

[Armor Break: Defense reduced to 0. Duration: 30 seconds]

"A new skill?"

“That’s right, it’s called Falling Sky,” Yu Xiao readily admitted.

Upon hearing this, Leng Yihan frowned, switched to her katana, and unleashed nine consecutive slashes with the Phantom Sword, triggering the equipment's special effect and gaining nine sword energies. Yu Xiao then activated her invincibility and turned to counterattack. Leng Yihan had no choice but to cancel the Phantom Sword, consuming one sword energy to refresh the cooldown of her Triple Slash, and once again flashed behind Yu Xiao.

"I hate this trick of yours the most."

Yu Xiao's voice revealed impatience. With the activation of the Griffin Domain, attack power, attack speed, and movement speed all saw a significant increase.

Leng Yihan used two more sword energies to refresh the Triple Slash twice and ran away into the distance. After stopping, she immediately threw the Hexagram Sword Formation at Yu Xiao.

He immediately refreshed the six-pointed sword formation with another sword aura and threw it behind Yu Xiao to block the way.

Seeing that she couldn't escape, Yu Xiao walked forward despite the damage from the six-pointed sword formation. Once inside the skill's range, Judgment instantly locked onto Leng Yihan and charged straight at her.

At the same time, Yu Xiao's body lit up with a blood-red light, and she activated the skill Bloodthirst to try and drain some health.

Leng Yihan activated her level 70 skill, Sword and Shield, and turned to fight Yu Xiao head-on. Looking at the shield that filled the entire health bar, Yu Xiao was speechless for a moment before unleashing a four-hit combo. Originally, both of them had around 70% health, but this time Yu Xiao's health instantly returned to 80%.

"This time, I'll definitely cut him down." Leng Yihan said. He was still in a broken armor state, and his shield was directly reduced by two-thirds by Yu Xiao's four consecutive critical hits.

"I just need to beat you before that happens." Yu Xiao said, using her level 60 skill, Soaring Dragon, to send Leng Yihan into the air.

After Leng Yihan took the hit from Tenglong, she immediately refreshed her sword intent to break free from control. When her last shield was knocked away, Leng Yihan instantly refreshed her sword and shield and activated it again. Then she switched to her greatsword and used Earthshaking Strike to hit Yu Xiao.

Yu Xiao dodged the greatsword with a backflip, but was still knocked away by the ground-shaking area attack. Leng Yihan switched to a katana and used a sword aura to refresh the Triple Slash. Then she immediately moved over and charged up a sword slash to cut Yu Xiao, who had just landed.

Instantly, Yu Xiao's health dropped from 90% to 38%. After being hit by a sword strike, Yu Xiao immediately turned around and activated counterattack to fight Leng Yihan head-on. Leng Yihan, who originally wanted to trade blows, chose to give up after seeing the counterattack. She refreshed her Triple Slash to create distance, and then refreshed the Hexagram Sword Array with the last sword energy, which she released on the spot to block Yu Xiao's pursuit.

Leng Yihan activated her level 30 skill, Qi Blade Slash, and used the Qi Blade Slash's sword energy to wear down Yu Xiao from a distance.

Yu Xiao immediately charged forward and stabbed Leng Yihan four times in quick succession, shattering her shield instantly.

"Special effects on the equipment, good luck."

Thirty seconds had passed, and Leng Yihan's defense had recovered. She switched to a greatsword basic attack, followed by a horizontal slash and an upward slash to unleash a three-hit combo that knocked Yu Xiao away. Then, she used a rising dragon slash to send her even higher into the air.

Switching back to the katana, Yu Xiao unleashed a Big Dipper combo, instantly predicting Leng Yihan's ending position with a cross-shaped thrust that sent Leng Yihan crashing back to the ground.

After the blood-sucking ended, Yu Xiao's health was 46% and Leng Yihan's health was 60%.

The level 75 skill "Falling Sky" was used again to strike Leng Yihan directly, instantly reducing her health to 50% and her armor to zero again.

That hurts... Leng Yihan activated her level 35 skill, which granted her super armor effect, and unleashed 18 consecutive slashes with the Phantom Sword, triggering the extra damage from the equipment effect and reducing Yu Xiao's health to 13%.

18 sword energies... Is it over...?

As Yu Xiao thought, Judgment used close-range attacks on Leng Yihan, then landed a critical hit with a four-hit combo. Combined with the extra damage from her equipment, Leng Yihan's health instantly dropped to 9%. She immediately refreshed her sword and shield and used Draw Sword, and while her energy was still replenished, she activated her sword and shield and used Draw Sword instantly, ignoring Yu Xiao's output and taking away the last 13% of Yu Xiao's health.

"End! Extreme Cold wins!" the system's cold voice announced.

The two left the arena and returned to their respective rooms.

"Phew... So tiring. Yu Xiao is too strong, and that level 75 skill... If she had triggered an extra damage effect at the end, I would have died... Looks like my luck is really good." Leng Yihan smiled and turned on the platform's bullet comments, wanting to see what kind of cheat he was using this time.

'This is absolutely cheating! 18 consecutive hits with the Phantom Sword? Even professional players can't do that! This is definitely cheating!'

"Hey, the professional players ahead of him aren't ranked as high as him, you know? I don't think he was cheating; his damage output is actually quite reasonable."

'Reasonable my foot! You're just blindly defending it! A single, barely charged attack that takes away 52% of a person's health? You're kidding me!'

Want to check out the equipment effects? Like the one that doubles the damage of your draw attack!

'Double? Ha! That effect only has a 0.5% trigger rate. You try doubling it three or four times in a row?'

Seeing that there were finally some supportive friends in the comments section, Leng Yihan felt much better.

However, there are also smart people who can see why they can deal such high damage, but what they can't figure out is why there is such a high probability of triggering it.

A line of text was highlighted and highlighted in red in the bullet comments; it was posted by the super moderator.
