Chapter 169 Evacuation failed
The Half-Moon Priest hurriedly controlled the Phantom Dragon to keep its balance, barely able to keep the Phantom Dragon from falling in the air, and then distanced himself from Qi Yang again.
"How can he be so strong that he can injure my enhanced Phantom Dragon with just two swords?!" The Moon Worshiper was shocked, looking at Qi Yang who suddenly landed steadily on the ground below. He was dressed in white clothes, and after this section of the battle, there was not even any mud on him, and his clothes were still as white as snow.
"What? Do you have any other moves? Feel free to use them. If this is all you have, my next move will be to take your life."
Qi Yang's eyes were as sharp as torches at this moment, and he stared at the Moon Worshipping Priest closely. His aura began to change from being ordinary as before to being extremely powerful. That power came from the self-confidence accumulated after experiencing countless battles. It was a kind of calmness as if everything in the world was under his control.
The Moon Worshiper felt the powerful pressure from him, and immediately drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. After the test just now, he truly felt the gap in strength between himself and the opponent, and he no longer had the desire to fight.
He pretended to remain calm as the magic circle behind him slowly rotated. Then he gritted his teeth and commanded the Phantom Dragon to rush forward.
The Phantom Dragon roared, and then spewed a burst of dark blue dragon flame from its huge mouth downwards. As it flew past, everything it passed was ignited by the dragon flame.
"Dragon breath again? The same trick won't work on me twice." Qi Yang looked at the aggressive Phantom Dragon, unmoved at all, but raised the sword in his hand, then his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, avoiding the dragon flame.
Then a white figure appeared beside the phantom dragon, and the long sword, carrying pure white sword energy, stabbed towards the dragon's neck.
The Phantom Dragon swung his thick tail covered with ferocious barbs violently, lashing at him like a thick whip. The purpose of doing this was obvious, which was to force him to defend himself and let him retract the sword that was stabbing at his neck.
The result was obvious. After all, he couldn't fight a summon to death. So he turned flexibly in the air, blocked his body with his sword, and took the attack. Although he was unharmed, his figure was also knocked back.
As the surrounding flames dissipated, Qi Yang discovered that the figure of the Moon Worshiper on the head of the Phantom Dragon had long disappeared, and not far away, the figure of the Moon Worshiper who was fleeing was instantly split into three, and then fled in three directions.
Qi Yang was just about to chase after it, but the Phantom Dragon's bloody mouth attacked him again, forcing him to face the attacking Phantom Dragon first.
Not surprisingly, the Phantom Dragon should have been ordered by the Moon Worshiper to fight to the death, because after the Moon Worshiper escaped, the Phantom Dragon gave up its defense and switched to an all-out attack.
"You're in the way!" Qi Yang's steps were as fast as a ghost, constantly dodging the Phantom Dragon's continuous attacks. No matter it was claw attacks, bites, or tail attacks, it couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes.
Moreover, while he was dodging, he would occasionally emit one or two sword energies. After a few exchanges of this, Qi Yang soon gained the upper hand.
Qi Yu stood aside, looking at the white-clothed figure fighting with the phantom dragon on the battlefield like a butterfly. The surprise in his eyes was beyond words. And looking at his calm appearance, it was obvious that he still had some strength left.
"So strong!" Qi Yu said subconsciously, and then the system identification interface popped up, but the identification was still stable, with question marks everywhere except the name.
Qi Yu was no longer surprised by this, but he was still very shocked by the strength displayed by the other party.
In fact, it’s no wonder that he was so shocked. After all, compared with the battles he had experienced before, it was like showing off his sword in front of Guan Gong.
In Qi Yu's opinion, Qi Yang's moves were not enough to be described as fighting. The lightning-fast sword moves, the pure white flawless sword energy, and the figure in white clothes as white as snow, the release of each move gave him the feeling of watching a gorgeous dance, which was very intriguing.
Although they are individual moves, Qi Yu finds it impossible to distinguish them. Generally speaking, basic sword moves are divided into three parts, namely: "starting move", "attacking move", and "closing move".
When Qi Yu used the sword moves attached to the grass sword according to the systematic method, he could clearly feel that there were two obvious pauses before and after the attack was actually launched. In Blue Star's words, this is the so-called "skill pre-swing" and "skill post-swing."
Qi Yu himself had also tried to see if it was possible to remove the two pauses on his own without following the system's methods, or to continue with other moves.
But the result is that without the assistance of the system, Qi Yu has to control the entire move by himself, from the guidance of magic power to the force and angle of the sword, the trajectory of the sword energy, and so on.
This was a bit too much for Qi Yu, who had only learned some basic swordsmanship from the blacksmith in the village when he was a child, so he gave up.
But at this moment, he saw this seamless sword move on Qi Yang. After he finished the first sword move, what was supposed to be a "closing" action was replaced by an ordinary stab or slash, which made his moves very smooth.
Another advantage is that it prevents the opponent from noticing what your next move will be, thus catching them off guard.
Qi Yu was staring closely at Qi Yang's sword moves at this time, trying to see something from them, but because the opponent's sword moves were still too fast, all he could see were just a glimpse of his moves, and he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
"The battle is about to end." Zhang Xu looked up at the battle between the man and the dragon in front of him and said, "As expected of the White Ghost."
"White ghost?" Qi Yu looked at Zhang Xu in surprise. The latter nodded slightly and then briefly told her what she knew.
The more Qi Yu listened, the more frightened he became. The more he understood, the more he frowned. In the end, he could only say, "He's so strong? If he attacks us, what are our chances of winning?"
Zhang Xu looked at Qi Yu as if he was a fool, and then said, "Chances of winning? Do you still want to win a fight with this man who can fight a dragon in a duel? If he attacks us, you just pray that we can survive."
After hearing this, Qi Yu opened his mouth, and then thought to himself: "How about... finding a chance to run? After all, the Moon Worshiper has already escaped, and this trapping formation won't last long. Now is the best time to run."
"As for that crazy old woman from the Water Element Academy..." Qi Yu shook his head and thought, "At least she hasn't found me yet. Let's see what Zhang Xu's attitude is first."
Thinking of this, Qi Yu looked at Zhang Xu beside him, and Zhang Xu also looked at Qi Yu. Then they both saw the same meaning in each other's eyes: "How about... retreat?"
The two hit it off immediately and began to approach the exit in the opposite direction of the Moon Worshiper's escape.
The two men moved very slowly and did not dare to run fast for fear of alarming the "white ghost" who was fighting. But just after they had moved a few meters.
Qi Yang then glanced sideways at Qi Yu and the other person not far away. The latter felt as if a thorn in their backs was struck when his gaze swept over them, like a herbivore being targeted by a carnivore.
Qi Yu's movement of leaving froze instantly, and Zhang Xu beside him was the same, not daring to move. What kind of strength is this? Just a look can make both of them feel terrified.
Qi Yu squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth towards Zhang Xu: "Teacher, it seems we have been discovered."
"I'm not blind, I see it." Zhang Xu's face also twitched as he spoke slowly.
"What should we do now? Are we still leaving, teacher?" Qi Yu asked, continuing her conversation.
"Let's go!" Zhang Xu said angrily in extreme disappointment, "Believe it or not, if we take one more step forward, he will appear in front of us in the next second. If you are sure you can block his sword, you can try."
After hearing this, Qi Yu simply shut his mouth. It seemed that his escape plan was temporarily ruined.
