Complete Defeat (2)
While Edward was dodging, he was also slowly getting closer to Ye Lang. Although Ye Lang was trying to stop him from getting closer, he still managed to get closer through his own efforts.
Edward was now regretting it. He knew that Ye Lang's dual pistols were for ranged attacks, and he should have been closer just now!
"Do you want to get closer to me?" Ye Lang asked with a smile, looking at Edward was only three meters away from him.
"..." Is that even a question? If I don't come close to you, am I supposed to stand so far away and let you hit me?
"Actually, getting close to me will only put you at a disadvantage, because the shorter the range, the harder it is for you to dodge!" Ye Lang said with a grin, and then while continuing to fire, he activated one mode of his dual pistols.
"Rapid fire!"
The firing rate of the dual pistols increased dramatically; if it was one bullet per second before, it was now ten bullets per second!
"!?!" Edward was shocked and used his life-saving skill, the strongest escape skill for wind-type martial artists— Swiftwind Steps, pushing his speed to the limit and dodging Ye Lang's twin guns in an instant.
Actually, if he had this skill, why didn't he use it earlier? He could have just used it to get close. Of course, there's a reason for that. When using Swiftwind Steps, he can no longer use Battle Qi, because Battle Qi will be used on Swiftwind Steps.
In other words, Edward would be unable to attack people at this time.
After Edward used Swiftwind Steps, he easily dodged Ye Lang's gunshot and was still in front of him. He was preparing to knock Ye Lang away. This move might not be effective against others, but it should work against Ye Lang. However, this was just his idea.
"Damn, he managed to dodge that! No way, I need to speed up, super rapid fire!!"
Ye Lang's dual pistols have an even faster speed, the strongest speed being one hundred times the normal speed...
"!?"
When Ye Lang activated his super rapid fire mode, the energy bullets fired from the two guns were almost continuous. This time, Edward had to retreat because several energy bullets grazed him, causing him minor injuries.
After retreating to a safe distance, Edward could only dodge energy blasts. Although he was now safe, he was still unable to get close to Ye Lang.
Edward's biggest worry now is that if things continue like this, his Battle Qi will soon be completely depleted!
The energy blasts that Edward dodged all collided with the ground or the Alchemy Array. Now Feng Xing understood why Ye Lanyu needed a defensive array.
With Ye Lang's frenzied firing, without this defensive array, many people would have been injured and caught in the crossfire!
He now understood why Zhen Xiaoyan had packed up and left so decisively, without needing any prior reminders, because she already knew that if she had stayed on the field, she would have been in big trouble.
"Haha, left, right, jump..." Ye Lang seemed to be playing around at this moment, making Edward jump around under his dual pistol attacks.
"..." The audience was speechless, but one thing was certain: in some ways, Ye Lang was terrifying!
"Depend on!"
Just as Ye Lang was having a great time, tragedy struck: his dual pistols ran out of power once again!
Looking at the two pistols in his hands, Ye Lang said, "How come they're gone so quickly? They used to last a long time!"
Nonsense, firing at that rate, of course you'll run out of ammo quickly! Who told you to play like that?!
When Ye Lang stopped, Edward was still hiding. The momentum hadn't stopped, and it wasn't until a while later that he noticed Ye Lang's condition.
"Out of energy, huh! Perfect, that's exactly what I need!!" Edward immediately rushed towards Ye Lang, not even retracting his Swiftwind Steps. He was already burning with impatience, eager to vent his pent-up anger.
Ye Lang stared blankly as Edward charged towards him...
At this moment, the closer Edward got to Ye Lang, the more anticipation and joy he felt, because he could finally prove himself and that he could win against Ye Lang fair and square, even if Ye Lang had to use weapons.
"Ye Lang..."
"Young Master..."
At this moment, everyone outside was worried about Ye Lang. They were afraid that Ye Lang would be injured by Edward. Without Alchemy Weapon, how could he protect himself?
What? Of course, I'll still use dual pistols!!
As Edward approached Ye Lang, he suddenly noticed that Ye Lang's blank expression instantly turned into a smile—a smile of triumph.
At that moment, everyone saw Ye Lang swing his twin pistols, grab the two long barrels, and then, holding the barrels, use the twin pistols as short clubs to strike Edward's face hard!
There's nothing we can do about it; his face is right in front, making him the biggest target!
"Ah..."
The gun butt struck Edward hard in the face, and combined with his own Swiftwind Steps, the scene was quite tragic!
Edward continued forward for a moment due to inertia, then collapsed to the ground, remaining motionless as if he couldn't get up...
Ye Lang ignored Edward, simply using Purification Array to clean his Silver Dual Pistols before storing them in his Space Ring.
Even without energy, it's still a great weapon!
"..."
At this moment, everyone was unsure how to express their feelings. Should they cheer? Although it felt a bit strange, Ye Lang had won after all.
"I think the Young Master shouldn't fight with others; he's not suited for it..." Feng Xing said solemnly.
"Third sister, my little brother's fighting style is very strange. Has he always been like this?" the Second Sister asked, and her question is something that many people probably wanted to express.
Ye Lang's fighting style was completely unpredictable, making it seem as if he wasn't fighting, but playing around.
"Under normal circumstances, that's how he is!" Ye Lanyu nodded.
"As long as he wins, that's enough. That last move... Edward was so pitiful..." Fei surprisingly agreed with Ye Lang.
"That's true, but I really enjoyed that last hit. I want to slap that face too!" the Seventh Princess said with a smile, making no attempt to hide her thoughts.
"Yes! I want to play too!" Zhen Xiaoyan nodded.
"Me too..." Ye Zhiqin looked down and continued.
At this moment, several girls wanted to punch Edward in the face because they all hated Edward intensely, naturally because of Edward's attitude towards Ye Lang.
"This kind of person is ungrateful. He forgets his friends once he has a woman. He deserves it!!" Most people present felt that Edward deserved it, and Ye Lang's last move made them feel very relieved.
Only Kasha remained silent; she still loved Edward and would continue to love him even if he made mistakes, especially since Edward was doing it for her.
