Extreme Speed

Xiao Qiao has discovered that all the heroes in a team are more troublesome and annoying than the last.

The previous examples of Zhen Ji and Wang Zhaojun are examples of this; they are all control-based characters, and although their damage output is not high, they are still very difficult to defeat.

Now, with Dongfang Yao's inherent taunt and the combination of the cunning and opportunistic Baili Shouyue, it's even harder to fight against him.

Li Bai launched another surprise attack, attempting to eliminate Baili Shouyue.

He also knew that Baili Shouyue hadn't entered the mirror behind him because he wanted to fish.

This time, it's Dongfang Yao, a huge fan of Li Bai, who's going to fight him.

Dai Weisi, Zhu Zhuyun, and others were responsible for blocking Xiao Qiao and Yufeng from providing reinforcements.

"Green Lotus Sword Song!"

Li Bai transformed into five elegant white and red sword energies, observing Dongfang Yao in the very center.

However, the sword energy was blocked by the star power surrounding Dongfang Yao as soon as it touched him.

Return to Dust!

Dongfang Yao suddenly retreated, escaping Li Bai's attack range.

The sword wounds then slowly appeared on Dongfang Yao's body.

A blue light entered Dongfang Yao's body; it was the healing soul light of "supreme goodness is like water".

By the time the Star Shaving ended, the healing process was almost complete, and Dongfang Yao's injuries had almost fully healed.

Seeing this, Li Bai's lips twitched slightly.

Fortunately, the Heaven Dou First Team also has Ye Lingling Ye Lingling, whose Soul Skill are all healing.

Neither side suffered any casualties, so the score appears to be tied.

Seeing that he had failed to lure Li Bai away twice by using himself as bait, Baili Shouyue sighed helplessly and slowly retreated into the mirror behind him.

Then, the giant mirror split into five, distributed around the arena.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Dozens of black wind blades flew out and struck Dai Weisi, who was blocking the way.

A faint golden hue surrounded him; that was his first Soul Skill White Tiger Refined Gold Aura, which could be attached to the body or weapons, providing a combined offensive and defensive effect.

After receiving the attack, Dai Weisi responded with a tremendous tiger's roar, "Roar!!!"

His retracted hand trembled incessantly, bearing more than a dozen bloody wounds. Those dozens of black wind blades were extremely strange, actually managing to pierce through his White Tiger Refined Gold Aura.

Dai Weisi was unaware that this was the destructive and corrosive power unique to the dark attribute.

Ordinary defenses simply cannot stop it.

Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun exchanged a glance as they looked at their teammates who had already entered the mirror.

Dai Weisi fired a white beam of light at Xiao Qiao to block her, then ran towards Zhu Zhuyun and used his Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

"Roar!!"

It was accompanied by a tremendous tiger's roar.

A huge white tiger with pale purple stripes appeared where Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun had just been.

····························

The stands outside the stadium erupted in cheers.

"This is His Highness Dai Weisi's Martial Soul Fusion Skill. He's finally using it! I've been waiting for ages!"

"What is Martial Soul Fusion Skill?" a commoner-born Soul Master couldn't help but ask.

"You don't even know this? Who are you from...?"

·································

As soon as the white tiger appeared, it pounced on Xiao Qiao.

Li Bai wanted to go and provide support as soon as he left.

"Whoosh!" A faint sound, the sound of a bullet rapidly passing through the air.

A Vermilion Bird bullet pierced straight through Li Bai's chest.

Anticipate the bullets!

An essential skill for snipers is anticipating the enemy's next move and aiming accordingly.

Faced with a top-tier swordsman like Li Bai, whose movements are exceptionally skillful, only Baili Shouyue, who is also a top-tier sniper, could successfully snipe him.

"Brother Li Bai!" Ning Rongrong tried to rush forward, but was stopped by Yufeng.

Hidden in the shadows, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who had been watching the entire match, felt a sudden tightness in his chest.

However, unlike Ning Rongrong, as Titled Douluo, Chen Xin could clearly see everything that had just happened.

His own apprentice indeed failed to dodge the bullet...

but...

It looks like it was done on purpose!

Chen Xin looked at his disciple, who was lying on the ground pretending to be seriously injured even though he had clearly avoided the vital points, and remained silent.

Do modern martial arts competitions still require acting skills and strategy?

Chapter 175 Ultimate Speed

Seeing Li Bai lying on the ground, seemingly "seriously injured," Dongfang Yao didn't hesitate for a moment and rushed forward with his Seven Star Sword.

A tradition among heroes who excel at last-hitting minions.

"Idol, I'm here! Take this, Space-Rending Slash!"

The Seven Star Sword was raised high, and the power of the stars gathered within it.

"Sulfuric acid!"

The Seven Star Sword struck the ground.

Li Bai vanished from his spot, and a Azure Lotus Sword Formation appeared on the ground.

"Huh!?" Dongfang Yao looked at the white-haired sword immortal who quickly dodged and defended with his sword with some confusion, then laughed heartily, "Haha, that's more like it! How could my idol be so weak? Let's try again!"

After speaking, Dongfang Yao Pursue Stars forward again, his face full of seriousness and confidence.

Li Bai looked at his crazed fanboy, whose skills were so similar to his own, and felt helpless.

"Since that's the case, then I'll show you real swordsmanship!"

Since Baili Shouyue is out of reach, the only option is to deal with Dongfang Yao and Dai Weisi first.

However, be careful of Baili Shouyue's sneak attacks.

Li Bai looked at Dongfang Yao in front of him and took a sip of wine from his gourd.

The sword in his hand seemed to respond, emitting a clear hum.

With a slight twist of his wrist, the sword drew a smooth arc in the air, performing an extremely beautiful and elegant sword flower. The sunlight just happened to brush across the blade, shattering into a shower of leaping golden light, as if stars were flowing at his fingertips.

"Idol! Watch closely! The momentum of this sword will never cease! This starry sky is destined to shine because of me!"

Dongfang Yao's face remained smiling, but his eyes turned serious.

Gather strength in your feet.

In an instant, his figure vanished, leaving behind a trail of stardust.

It reappeared, right in front of Li Bai, and the Seven Star Sword struck down once more.

Li Bai glanced up and sighed softly.

Full of flaws!

The white-haired sword immortal left only an afterimage in place, giving Dongfang Yao no chance to react.

The attacks came from behind him, one after another, each more ferocious than the last.

Compared to Li Bai, the sword immortal, Dongfang Yao's swordsmanship was truly full of flaws. All his sword techniques were developed by imitating Li Bai's Green Lotus Sword Art using his own stellar power.

He still hasn't cultivated sword energy.

"Yao, consider this my guidance as a senior."

"A sword is not something to be talked about!"

Li Bai's voice carried a hint of languid laughter, yet every word was clear and distinct, like a sword's edge striking a cold pool.

"It is used for--"

Before he finished speaking, his figure suddenly blurred, as if transforming into a white streak. He didn't rush straight at them, but approached with a mysterious footwork that seemed slow but was actually incredibly fast.

There was no earth-shattering momentum, only a wisp of sword intent condensed to the extreme, like the first warm spring breaking through the ice in early spring, silent and yet precisely targeting the almost non-existent hesitation in Yao's transition between moves.

Li Bai's perfect technique did not appear out of thin air, but was a manifestation of his own swordsmanship; his skills were impeccable.

When the numerical difference between the two sides is not significant, Li Bai can easily defeat 99% of his opponents.

"Clang!!" The two swords clashed, and Dongfang Yao's Seven Star Sword was knocked away by Li Bai due to the force exerted and the way he held the sword.

The sword tip hovered just inches from Yao's wrist, its chill piercing his skin, yet it didn't actually touch him.

Dongfang Yao looked somewhat disappointed; he truly wanted to defeat his idol, Li Bai.

"Murderer!"

Dongfang Yao's swordsmanship is somewhat flashy, but that's not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that Dongfang Yao has been protected by his sister or the academy since childhood at the Jixia Academy, and has never truly experienced a life-or-death crisis. The biggest difficulty he has encountered in his life is his sister Dongfang Jing's "education of love." Therefore, his swordsmanship is not very aggressive.

Just then, a Vermilion Bird sniper bullet was fired from a mirror behind Li Bai.

"Call out!"

Li Bai's ears twitched slightly as he sensed the sound of something cutting through the air behind him. As if by accident, he turned slightly to the side, took a sip from the wine gourd at his waist, and the bullet carrying the phantom of the Vermilion Bird passed straight under his arm where he was holding the gourd.

··························

In the alternate dimension behind the mirror, Baili Shouyue sighed and rubbed his forehead as he watched himself engage in close combat with Li Bai.

"That hot-blooded idiot."
