Ah! I Can't Tell!

Both ranged and melee combat have their advantages.

Melee combat is risky, but it does increase accuracy and offers a variety of moves.

In the original novel, even the protagonist Xiao Yan, who is as powerful as he is, still frequently uses close combat after breaking through to the Dou Zun.

On one occasion, during a battle with the Soul Hall, even the once indestructible "Mysterious Heavy Ruler" was struck by the Old Ghost Zhaixing (Five Star Dou Zun), leaving a palm mark on it.

Furthermore, when facing the Soul Hall's Nine Heavens Venerable Mo Yu, Mo Yu declared that Xiao Yan would never have the chance to activate the "Buddha Fury Fire Lotus" in front of him!

Of course, many players still prefer to use ranged Dou Technique.

With a wave of his hand and a kick, several bursts of qi would fly out—how dashing and domineering! But in his previous life, ever since he obtained the "Mysterious Chapter" of the "Tyrant Blade," Yang Shan had been honing his close combat skills.

Compared to ranged Dou Technique, melee Dou Technique often do not have so-called "moves".

Therefore, players need to improvise their own moves.

The sword intent of "Tyrant Blade" is too precious; its strategic significance even surpasses that of the explosive "Tyrant Blade - Seven Kills".

Consumes 1 point of Dou Qi per second, with a maximum attack boost of 70%.

Given enough time, Yang Shan could unleash a total damage output far exceeding that of ten "Tyrant Blade - Seven Kills" techniques! Clearly, the Dou Wang named Tao Han understood that his "Ice Piercing Mystic Palm" was effective due to the Time Acceleration and the distance from which it could be released.

This gave Zhu Tianpeng enough time to prepare and block him.

Therefore, closing the distance and not giving the other party more time to prepare is undoubtedly a very good choice.

But Tao Han is clearly quite quick-witted.

He simply lowered the flight altitude.

It did not land directly on the ground.

His palms began to gather Dou Qi again.

However, its power is far less than that of the previous Ice Piercing Mystic Palm.

It's most likely Yellow Tier Dou Technique.

In Battle Through the Heavens, many skills are actually "taught" to players by NPCs.

For example, one could use Yellow Tier Dou Technique that has low energy consumption and fast activation speed as a test.

Tao Han's Yellow Tier Dou Technique are not flashy at all.

Simply put, it means condensing your Dou Qi into Palm Force and releasing it.

The attack range is limited.

However, Tao Han's stats were simply too high.

And most importantly, Tao Han has Dou Qi Light Wings.

Tao Han's original speed was not much lower than Yang Shan's.

The Dou Qi Light Wings also provide a massive speed boost.

In addition, the range of directions one can move in the air is wider than when standing on the ground.

This makes it difficult for Yang Shan and his team to launch an effective attack.

Moreover, the four of them were constantly subjected to attacks from Tao Han's Dou Qi.

Tao Han grinned maliciously:

"I, the leader of this sect, am going to torture you to death today!"

Yang Shan sent a message in the group chat. "Tian Peng, protect Su Yitang carefully. Ba Fang, come with me and hold off this Tao Han!"

Chao Bafang: "Good!"

Zhu Tianpeng: "Don't worry, Su Meinu, I won't do anything to you!"

Su Yitang: Boss

Yang Shan: "Su Yitang, you may be socially awkward, but I've tried my best to help you. Now it's up to you. Don't let me down!"

Su Yitang could clearly feel her heart beating faster and her breathing becoming very difficult.

A socially awkward young girl having to sing in front of three grown men—that's really something else entirely!

Zhu Tianpeng stayed by Su Yitang's side and used the Beast Water to cast a Protective Gang Qi around Su Yitang.

Then he saw Su Yitang take out an ancient zither from her Storage Ring.

Zhu Tianpeng's eyes widened. "What is this? The Six-Fingered Zither Demon?"

"I'm not nervous, I'm not nervous, I'm going to sing well!"

Su Yitang is now fully focused on unleashing her Dou Technique.

In Battle Through the Heavens the Heavens, the differences between NPCs with different inscriptions are significant.

At present, Golden Word Seal is almost exclusively reserved for supporting NPC characters in the original work.

Only special NPCs like Xiao Xun'er, whose backgrounds are truly extensive, possess the Five-Colored Word Seal on top of the gold.

Characters like Lin Xiuya and Liu Qing only have Golden Word Seal.

The Purple Word Seal, being a grade below the Golden Word Seal, is already worthy of the word "boss".

Therefore, the configuration of Purple Word Seal is often quite good.

It's not just about martial arts techniques and Dou Technique.

They also have much more practical experience.

There are quite a few Dou Wang with Purple Word Seal in the Black-Corner Region.

But Yang Shan had never considered targeting them before.

The fundamental reason is that it is too difficult.

Just like now, Tao Han is flying fifty meters above the ground, relying on his Dou Qi Transformation Wings.

It can attack or defend, constantly wearing down opponents with ice-attribute Palm Force; this fighting style is quite shameless.

For players who haven't reached the Dou Wang level, if they can't hold on for even a little bit, they could very well collapse completely!

Therefore, the best approach is to utilize Su Yitang's "Wind Zenith Sound" in conjunction with "Thunder Guiding Lock" to inflict a severe blow on Tao Han Tao Han one fell swoop, catching him completely off guard! We absolutely cannot give Tao Han too many chances to react.

They couldn't even let Tao Han pay too much attention to Su Yitang.

Therefore, Yang Shan had to step forward and show off.

Yang Shan flicked the hem of his Fire Refining Clothes and held the knife in one hand.

Any ice-attribute Palm Force aimed at him would be shattered by a single slash! His movements were both elegant and domineering! It's important to know that the system only helps players complete Dou Technique.

However, the timing and duration of Dou Technique activation are up to the player to control.

Especially people like Yang Shan.

The sword's momentum and the Ape King Violet Lightning were directly attached to the Thunderbolt Blade.

As long as Yang Shan makes a move, the attack will definitely be successful.

Whether or not Yang Shan can hit the target depends on himself.

But Yang Shan was able to cut through every blade without missing a single one!

It's similar to playing an immersive "Beat Saber" game.

This scene left Chao Bafang, who was standing at the back, extremely embarrassed.

He had actually practiced some of the halberd's moves.

But looking at Yang Shan's truly masterful "swordsmanship," Chao Bafang doubted whether Yang Shan was a martial arts master in the real world! Yang Shan's swordsmanship was honed for twelve years in his previous life in the Battle Through the Heavens the Heavens*! (Game Time)

I wouldn't dare to talk about the techniques or anything like that.

But Yang Shan can basically cut wherever he wants.

The error wouldn't exceed one inch! Tao Han clearly noticed Yang Shan's unusual move as well.

Yang Shan looked up, met Tao Han's gaze, and said two words:

That's it?

Tao Han was furious:

"Boy, I, the leader of this sect, will make sure you never speak again!"

Very good, Yang Shan has already captured Tao Han's attention.

Now it all depends on Su Yitang!

Su Yitang finally finished playing the prelude to the guqin.

Next comes the most crucial moment.

Zhu Tianpeng, who was standing to the side, was also a little confused about what Su Yitang was trying to do.

Does preparing for Dou Technique really take this long?

"The vast horizon is mine. No, I'm off-key, let's change to another one."

Zhu Tianpeng: "."

Attracted by the indescribable singing, Chao Bafang turned around and asked:

"No, we're fighting on the front lines while you guys are singing karaoke in the back?"

Su Yitang blushed. "I'm preparing for the Dou Technique, don't worry about me, or you'll be in trouble."

Chao Bafang: "What do I need to be careful about? There are Great God protecting me ahead of me!"

Tao Han didn't just focus on Yang Shan; he would occasionally slap other people as well.

Chao Bafang's luck wasn't good; as soon as he turned around, a Palm Force came hurtling towards him.

By sheer coincidence, I bumped into his butt.

This operation by Chao Bafang marks the third time they've been sodomized.

He was clearly a burly, sunny, straight man, but unexpectedly, he ended up with a damaged anus.

Su Yitang's Earth-rank Dou Technique, "Wind Zenith Sound," has rather demanding requirements for release.

It's not just about singing.

The system will also detect how many times Su Yitang sings off-key.

If it takes more than five attempts, the release will be considered a failure.

Su Yitang had no choice but to quickly switch to a song that she could sing without going off-key.

Su Yitang spoke again, "Hands clasped together, a devout expression!"

Zhu Tianpeng's eyes lit up.

He had heard this song before; it seemed to have been frequently used as background music for short videos online.

Zhu Tianpeng was certain that Su Yitang was in tune this time! And her singing was quite pleasant to the ear, truly befitting a voice actress's voice!

"We gazed at each other with deep affection. Our story is still long, but in the end, I'm alone, waiting foolishly in the same spot, unable to reclaim that tenderness. From now on, I'm no longer afraid of the dawn; I think I'm just afraid of waking up." (From "The Story Is Still Long" + "Too Deeply Involved" + "She Said") Zhu Tianpeng felt increasingly uneasy as he listened. "Huh?"

Chao Bafang was completely bewildered. "Wait, what song is this? What song is this?"

Yang Shan roared, "Just bear with it, it'll pass!"

Su Yitang seemed to have thrown her social anxiety to the back of her mind and was singing at the top of her lungs, ignoring everything else.

Sing if you want to sing, and sing it the loudest! "I want to see you, I only want to see you, past and future, I only want to see you! I can't compete with the present, yet I yearn for the past, it stole away! My youthful hair! But I'll keep you!" ("I Want to See You, I Only Want to See You" + "Time Thief") Zhu Tianpeng: "Holy crap! This song... wait, something's wrong! Ba Fang, analyze it! Analyze it quickly!"

Chao Bafang completely broke down. "Huh? Analysis? Ah! I can't tell, I really can't tell!"

Yang Shan had already experienced Su Yitang's unique talent in singing.

Sing a whole song, the tune is everywhere.

My ears are ruined!

If you can sing in tune, the melody will start to go off-key.

I'm mentally broken! It's just pure torture.

Zhu Tianpeng, in particular, was the closest to Su Yitang and was the most affected.

A longtime karaoke enthusiast, I'm afraid I'll never dare to sing those songs sung by Su Yitang again.

Zhu Tianpeng gritted his teeth. "Time Thief is my go-to song at karaoke! How am I supposed to sing it properly from now on?"

As Su Yitang continued singing, Tao Han, the leader of the Snow Mountain Branch who was fighting Yang Shan, finally noticed something was wrong. "Who is singing?"

As soon as Tao Han finished asking the question, Su Yitang could no longer continue singing.

The maximum damage of "Wind Zenith Sound" is 20 times.

However, Su Yitang can only accumulate up to 16 times its current value.

No longer needing to endure the cacophony, Su Yitang plucked the strings one last time before placing her hands on them.

The terrifying power that had been accumulating for so long in "Wind Zenith Sound" finally erupted! But this unique Sonic Dou Skills only emitted slight ripples, seemingly without any power at all.

Tao Han clearly saw the ripples gather and arrive in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Tao Han felt a cold sweat pour down his back. He wanted to use his Dou Qi Light Wings higher and avoid the strange ripples.

But Yang Shan exerted force with both legs, creating a crater in the ground, and leaped towards Tao Han.

"You think you can leave at a time like this? Stay here!"
