The Black Flame erupted from the knife. With Divine Fire driving the Flash, hardly anyone at the Shining Star Level could withstand it!
Yet at this moment, slashing the black-haired young man’s back only sparked some flowing black brilliance.
“So this is it, the ability to evade harm…” Su Yuan looked at the black brilliance, squinting his eyes slightly.
The black-haired young man glanced at Su Yuan behind him, ignoring Lin Chongyun. He turned around, grabbed the long knife filled with Undead Evil Fire, and swiftly drew out a jet-black blade, slashing at Su Yuan with extreme speed!
Su Yuan instantly executed a Local Transfer, dodging the jet-black blade without leaving any marks.
A hint of surprise flashed in the black-haired young man’s eyes. He did not expect Su Yuan to have a similar ability.
Su Yuan’s body ignited with Green Flames, increasing his strength and speed. He closed in, left hand entwined with golden fire, and smashed the Golden Burning Hand into the black-haired young man’s face.
With a bang, a shockwave exploded, sending the black-haired young man flying dozens of meters back.
The exchange between both sides lasted only a moment. Lin Chongyun exclaimed in surprise, “You hit him?!”
Su Yuan shook his head, “I hit him, but…”
Su Yuan didn’t finish his sentence, for the black-haired young man quickly steadied himself in mid-air. Though Su Yuan’s punch had landed solidly, there was still no sign of injury!
Lin Chongyun frowned, “This person’s power of soul truly is unsolvable!”
“But it wasn’t without any gain,” Su Yuan said, dispersing the flame on his left hand.
Lin Chongyun looked at the black-haired young man who had regained his balance in the distance: “You mean the fact that you knocked him back?”
Su Yuan nodded, “Exactly.”
Lin Chongyun’s eyes flashed, understanding Su Yuan’s meaning.
Earlier, all their various ranged attacks had directly passed through the opponent’s body.
But now, whether it was Su Yuan’s Flash Slash or the punch from the Golden Burning Hand, while the black-haired young man evaded the harm, the knock-back effect couldn’t be avoided.
At least, it was possible to restrict the opponent’s actions through similar close-combat attacks.
Su Yuan said, “But aside from this, there’s also bad news.”
Without Su Yuan’s prompting, Lin Chongyun said sternly, “He can still attack when using his evasion ability?”
Su Yuan glanced at Lin Chongyun, nodding, “Indeed.”
Until now, the black-haired young man had only attacked Lin Chongyun after evading their attack.
Hence, Su Yuan wondered if the black-haired young man couldn’t use his ability to evade while attacking.
From the recent results, however, it was clear that the black-haired young man’s ability didn’t have this flaw. Maybe it was even purposely revealed to lure an opportunistic attack from Su Yuan.
Without Phase Transfer, he might have been struck by the opponent’s counterattack. The close range combined with the opponent’s shocking swing speed would have made it too late even for Instant Movement.
“What a tricky situation…”
Su Yuan felt it was challenging, but he wasn’t in despair.
Yang Yifeng had once said, there was no absolutely invincible ability. All abilities had weaknesses.
As long as the rule was understood, a way could be found to break it.
Since close-combat attacks had some effect, there was still hope.
Su Yuan’s Green Flame Burning Body activated, and he leaped forward, swinging his knife.
The black-haired young man lifted his hand pointing at Su Yuan, causing a mysterious energy to appear on Su Yuan’s left foot.
Su Yuan’s All-Knowing Vision saw it clearly. He stepped aside suddenly.
“Hmm?”
The black-haired young man’s eyes flashed with surprise.
Su Yuan stepped again, appearing near his opponent, swiping the long knife in continuous slashes.
The black-haired young man allowed Su Yuan’s long knife to strike him, countering with swift and precise strikes of his own.
One evaded harm through special rules-based ability, the other through Phase Transfer. In their intense close-combat, neither sustained any injuries.
Lin Chongyun joined in with his thunder sword. Though known as an archer, Lin Chongyun was also adept in close combat, with lightning-fast and powerful swordsmanship.
Su Yuan suppressed the black-haired young man with his strength, while Lin Chongyun tried to find vulnerable points on the opponent.
However, Lin Chongyun was disappointed. Even stabbing the black-haired young man’s eyes had no effect.
The fierce exchange resulted in a stalemate.
Though Su Yuan’s strength was superior, continually pushing the black-haired young man back.
“Interesting, interesting. When did the north produce such a powerful stranger at the Shining Star Level that even I didn’t know?”
On the ground, Qiong Ying watched the black-haired young man in mid-air, eyes gleaming with intense interest.
“But which side is such a master supporting?”
Qiong Ying scanned the prisoners, soon focusing on a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties.
Qiong Ying’s green eyes shone faintly, clearly seeing the strong purple aura of fear surrounding this man.
“Is it him…”
