Surprise Attack! Swift Flight! Speed! Violence!

If he chose to retreat, Heathcliff could also activate a Sword Skill while Wu Yan was backing away and meet his body along his retreat path!

No matter which choice he made, Wu Yan would have to endure Heathcliff's attack. With Heathcliff's current stats, once he was hit, even with the Healing Spirit, Wu Yan's HP bar would at least drop into the yellow zone!

"Damn it!" Kirito was the first to lose patience. His hand gripped the hilt of Dark Repulser on his back as he prepared to rush forward. Asuna and the others, coming to their senses, immediately pressed their hands to their weapons as well.

Just as they were about to charge forward, Wu Yan finally moved!

His floating body spun forcefully through half a turn like a windmill. With a crack, the hand holding Elucidator drove it into the ground below. Using that force, he swiftly landed back on the ground, then released Elucidator outright. His free palm swept horizontally!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

As Wu Yan swung his hand, five tiny streaks of afterlight shot out from it, darting toward Heathcliff, who was suspended in midair behind his shield with nowhere to brace himself!

"What?!" Heathcliff's expression changed as well.
