Chapter 351 - Flame.
Yang Dao’s comment made William angrier. A vague distortion of flames could be seen glistening his body. It was not only the two of them who had come over to the terrace to watch the fight, but a lot of spectators had also come over to join in the excitement.
William said, “I will see if your sword is as sharp as your tongue. Come, boy, time to die.” with that said, he rushed forward with the spear in his hand.
Yang Dao was not scared or intimidated. William noticed this, but he did not stop. Everyone in this place was a battle-hardened person, so how could this boy be intimidated so easily. His spear was two and a half meters long, including the spearhead.
So just as he found Yang Dao was within his range of attack, he vigorously stabbed the spearhead at the boy’s head. The latter just tilted his head to the side slightly. William was not discouraged and holding the spear shaft with both hands, he started to stab at the boy with an even faster speed. This time he changed the aim from the head to the torso, to get himself a bigger targeting area.
Yang Dao still focused only on dodging the attacks. The people on the sides could not help but comment at this, “Humph, I thought this hairy guy had some skills but turned out that he is just a talker.”
A few people agreed with this, they did not deliberately lower their voices. William heard it and a sneer appeared on his face. He was happy to see Yang Dao being looked down on by the rest of the people. The Dao Child on the other side looked completely unbothered by this. He patiently moved around in wait for one lax move by the opponent to close the distance between them.
William suddenly applied some force to the ground and rushed forward. His spear was also shoved forward to the fullest. This was one of his killed tactics, the death lunge as he called it. Just when the opponent was getting used to short stabs, he would lunge in to attack them all of a sudden. Disrupting their defense rhythm.
Even if this move was a bit too wide and the opponent might dodge it, he will turn passive in the exchange and that will help him a lot in the battle. However, was it so easy for him to attack Yang Dao and gain initiative?
Watching the spear come in closer to his face, He took half a step to the side. William had predicted this and a knife began to condense in his hand. The strategy was good, but the pace was slow. Yang Dao raised his hand and gave it a wave.
The next moment, a cloud of flames appeared in the void out of nowhere. Yes, the surrounding people were shocked, and so was William. The flame cloud was as big as five feet, and the speed it condensed at could be referred to as an instant. They have never seen anyone being able to cast such a big spell and that too at such a fast speed. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
Yang Dao was not bothered by their surprise. As soon as the fire cloud appeared, William dodged to avoid the heat coming at his face, the knife of flames in his hands also dissipated. William was also a veteran. He knew that Yang Dao will be rushing in to exploit this situation.
The boy also did not upset the guy and moved forward. Just as William was getting happy to see this and preparing a fireball to throw at the incoming boy, Yang Dao changed his direction. he did not advance to deal with William head-on, but to the side. The people did not understand what his motive was, but he was not giving them a lesson on battle tactics either.
Just as Yang Dao was three meters away from William, the latter decided to foil his plans and stabbed his spear. He was aiming at the predictive path of the boy. Since Yang Dao was moving fast, this sort of blow would not be avoided by him easily. But who knew that the boy would not take a step forward to the side but abruptly jumped sideways, redirecting himself to face William head-on.
Now, the spear was diagonally passing between the two people. William held the shaft in his right hand while the spearhead was passing from Yang Dao’s right as well. He tried to swing the spear but Yang Dao rolled over the ground, making the distance just one meter. William cast a basic fireball, but before he could throw the fireball at the boy in front of him, a burning sensation came from his back.
Yang Dao had cast a fire dagger behind the guy when he entered the roll. William was occupied by the pain when a cold metal touched his neck. He woke up and found the hairy guy smiling at him. He wanted to throw the fireball in his hand at the smiling face, but Yang Dao stabbed his sword forward, penetrating his throat and making his life dissipate.
Till the last moment, his eyes were filled with disbelief. Yang Dao did not have any pity in his heart or mind for this sort of guy. He directly snatched the spear held by William and turned around to walk away.
A spectator wanted to tell him that he must dispose of the body himself according to the rules, but Yang Dao waved his hands and set the dead William on fire. His actions made people shiver. They did not expect this guy to be so cruel and cold.
However, in this place, only such a temperament can get you to survive longer. The crowd dispersed after Yang Dao climbed back inside his room. He did not find Amirah inside and sat down on the healing pattern. He willed and a barrier appeared in front of his window/door opening. This was the blockade that Amirah mentioned earlier.
He did not care whether the girl would come back in here or not, but he did not want to be disturbed or surprised like the last time.
