Ji Er Was Shocked

Curious?

Are you wondering where I get my confidence from?

While continuing to apply psychological pressure, Cheng Shi gradually started jogging instead of walking slowly.

He intends to initiate this final showdown when Ji Er is most confused, disrupting his thinking and hindering his progress, thus gaining an early advantage.

However, Ji Er was no ordinary player. He had clearly figured out Cheng Shi's thoughts, so when Cheng Shi started running, he also started running, but in a backward direction!

He fled, decisively and swiftly.

Caution is a common trait among all victims. Before they have a clear understanding of the other party's background, they will not be impulsive enough to gamble on the enemy's deadly move. That is not recklessness, that is foolishness.

So suddenly a bizarre and absurd scene unfolded in the arena: one Iron Head was running backwards, while another Iron Head was chasing after him with a knife in hand.

He ran, he chased, but he... couldn't catch him...

This bizarre scene attracted the attention of countless spectators, but when they watched for a while and realized that the two were still playing a cat-and-mouse game, a deafening chorus of boos and shouts erupted from the audience.

Clearly, the audience was not satisfied.

But the chase between the two was not over yet.

"Do you think you have a talent for being a 'Master of Deception' so you won't be fooled?"

But what if someone else has it too?

You should know, right, Brother Chicken? When two Master of Deception meet, it's bound to be real.

Ji Er retreated while laughing:

"Ha, are you talking about yourself?"

Do you think you can fool people by touching your nostrils anytime with these little gestures?

Do you really think you're a 'Master of Deception'?

My intuition tells me you're lying. You may indeed be a traveler of "Nothingness," but you're not an Acrobat. So who are you really?

Cheng Shi laughed too, and his laughter became even more unrestrained.

"Who am I? Whoever I am, I am certainly not a 'Master of Deception,' but does my not mean that others are not either?"

Have you ever wondered if our teammate, who's in his Gao San, might have this talent?

This information was undoubtedly explosive for Ji Er, who had always thought he had defeated the Gao San. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately stopped the chase and quickly retreated to a safe distance. He began to think with a gloomy face and a furrowed brow.

Just by putting himself in Cheng Shi's shoes, he figured out the true identity of this "dead" [Truth] warrior!

Acrobat!

Gao San is the real Acrobat!

Moreover, he is also an Acrobat with the title of "Master of Deception"! Because the Master of Deception told Ji Er that Gao San had never lied from beginning to end!

No wonder! No wonder he only targeted his limbs when attacking him, no wonder his final, deadly move was to break his own neck.

It's all fake, all fake, all on purpose!

But his last move almost succeeded, thankfully he reacted quickly enough!

No, he still succeeded!

Because if he were an Acrobat, then his goal wouldn't be to kill himself, but rather...

He faked his death to escape!

He ran away!

Using death as a cover, he doesn't even have to face his teammates behind him. What an Acrobat! He was tricked by himself!

Having figured everything out, Ji Er's face turned ashen, and his gaze toward Cheng Shi was filled with caution.

If Martial Expert is an Acrobat, then who is the Acrobat in front of you?

Who are Zhao Si and Su Wu, who never "lie" in prison?

Ji Er was startled, his body stiffening taut.

This was Cheng Shi wanted, so at that moment, Cheng Shi made his move!

He leaped up from the ground and charged forward, wielding the Scalpel in his hand like two rapidly flying shuttles, stabbing down in a crisscross motion towards Ji Er's location with lightning speed.

"Bite--"

But his offensive was unsurprisingly thwarted.

Trying to use a short knife against an assassin is like showing off your skills in front of Assassin, especially when the opponent is an Assassin with a score of over 2000.

"Is this your plan? To provoke me by using my status Gao San?"

"I have no plan. No, my plan is very simple: I just want to kill you!"

As he spoke, Cheng Shi made a few more probing attacks. Although the angle of each swing was tricky, the speed and power were slightly lacking. After a few times, Ji Er noticed something amiss:

The "Acrobat" chasing after him is not a combat professional at all.

This is quite interesting. For a support-oriented character to have such confidence further narrows down the possibilities for guessing Cheng Shi's identity.

Ji Er nimbly dodged Cheng Shi's ticklish attacks, while continuing to verbally attack:

"Is this your source of confidence?"

That's it?

"Hilarious! I could play with you all day without using my Assassin skills, and you're just a Singer... what makes you think you can outlast me?"

Cheng Shi didn't say a word, and with one step forward, he delivered another slash.

Ji Er nimbly dodged to the side, his eyes lighting up:

"So you're Priest!"

Interesting. No wonder you kept looking at me in prison. Did you think I would be your colleague?

"Ha, a Priest dares to hit like that? Aren't you asking for death?"

As he spoke, Ji Er suddenly turned around, revealing a short blade from his sleeve. It flashed silver light and stabbed straight toward Cheng Shi's heart.

Cheng Shi couldn't dodge in Cheng Shi, nor did he intend to. He simply turned slightly to avoid the vital points, and then risked serious injury to slash upwards again.

If this blow lands squarely, even if Ji Er doesn't die, his entire chest will be ripped open with a horrifying gash. But Cheng Shi will be injured even more severely. Even if this blow avoids vital organs, it could still render him instantly incapacitated!

This is almost a double blow, inflicting 800 damage on the enemy while losing 1000 damage to yourself; it's a life-for-life fighting style!

The problem is, I am a victim. I could easily turn the harm back on you, so how dare you gamble?

Ji Er was startled, and before he could even wonder what was going on, he immediately stopped and retreated.

The Assassin's exceptional agility was on full display at this moment. He drew his sword back, the tip of which blocked Cheng Shi's blade. Then, using the momentum, he dodged and instantly created distance between himself and Cheng Shi.

Cheng Shi failing to land a hit, Cheng Shi finally showed signs of fatigue. He stopped abruptly and exhaled heavily.

Tired?

Ha, you're actually not afraid I'll turn the harm on you? Interesting. Let me guess, are you not afraid of being hurt, or are you not afraid of death?

No sooner had he finished speaking than Ji Er, who had just retreated, appeared in front of Cheng Shi Ji Er an instant. The speed of the silver light in his hand was so fast that it almost brought a whistling sound of tearing the wind. Cheng Shi had no chance to catch where the light came from and could only instinctively raise his hand to block it.

With a "whoosh," a silver light left a cut on Cheng Shi's forearm.

Blood splattered out, Cheng Shi groaned as he staggered backward.

However, Ji Er's offensive was not over yet. Like a beast toying with its prey, he took advantage of Cheng Shi's exhaustion and kept changing his position to make cuts on Cheng Shi's body with his Daggers. However, each cut only cut an inch into the skin and did not go any deeper.

Cheng Shi swung his Scalpel with both hands to block the attacks, but eventually his strength gave out and he was knocked to the ground.

The moment Cheng Shi fell to the ground, Ji Er withdrew without hesitation, giving him no chance to cheat.

Cheng Shi was truly exhausted after facing such a cautious and formidable victim.

"What, aren't you going to heal me yet? My dear Priest teammate, if you don't heal me soon, you'll bleed to death."

Ji Er relentlessly mocked Cheng Shi from afar, stimulating his nerves until Cheng Shi was driven to desperation and had no choice but to try to heal himself.

He turned slightly to the side and took out a bottle of "Past Prosperity" from his personal space, but before he could even take a sip, it was shattered by a flying blade from Ji Er.

"No, no, no, we can't use props in our duel. I'll give you one more chance."
