To everyone else, Angus's speed in closing the distance in less than a second was incredibly fast, completely impossible to catch with the naked eye.
But in Ling Zhan's eyes, Angus's charging movements seemed to have been slowed down countless times. Dodging them was easy—child's play.
The audience probably would not believe it if told.
If Angus had been allowed to use skills, he might actually have been able to fight Ling Zhan for a while longer. After all, his level advantage was no mere decoration.
But now, with both talents and skills unusable, Angus was nothing more than a moving punching bag in Ling Zhan's eyes.
At this moment.
After sidestepping and perfectly avoiding that smashing punch, Ling Zhan did not hurriedly pull away.
Instead, he seized the recovery lag after Angus threw his punch and launched a counterattack.
That was also why Ling Zhan had not widened the distance from the very start.
Only by making such small evasions could he keep the distance between himself and his enemy within arm's reach.
But this approach had both advantages and disadvantages.
When others fought, they would pull as far away as possible whenever they dodged an attack.
When Ling Zhan fought, he only moved far enough to evade. He played with his heart in his throat; even if a blade swept past his eyes, he would not panic in the slightest.
The advantage was that he could counterattack at any time after dodging.
The disadvantage was that if the enemy was prepared, they could deliberately use an attack to bait out his dodge, then catch him during it. At such a close distance, there would be no chance for a second dodge.
But clearly...
Angus had not been mentally prepared at all for Ling Zhan to evade his attack.
