"Bang-bang——!"

The thunderous slash rubbed against the cross shield like a jagged tooth, as if it was about to cut the cross shield in front of him in two, stirring up countless sparks while making the friction sound sound like an explosion, which was extremely harsh.

"Uh-huh......!"

Heathcliff, holding the cross-shield, felt a heavy force that could not be ignored coming from the shield, causing him to snort and raise his eyes in surprise.

"The power ratio has just gone up...!?"

Moreover, it has risen a lot.

This caused Heathcliff's shield-holding hand to be slowly pushed back, causing his angular face to tense and sharp, and pressing all the strength of his body against the shield to resist the onslaught.

However, Luo Zhen's sword skills had only just begun.

I saw that after the thunderous slash slashed through Heatscliff's cross shield, it immediately slashed back like a flash, and then another whirlwind, slashing hard at Heatscliff's cross shield.

The trajectory of that sword technique was like a claw strike from a fierce beast.

This is a one-handed sword triple fencing technique———— "Sharp Claw".

The claw-like slash split into three slashes, and landed heavily on the cross shield held by Heathcliff, like an invisible monster swinging on it, bursting with sparks and amazing power.

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, Heathcliff's cross shield was bounced away by irresistible force.

“……！？”

As if he hadn't thought about this result at all, an inexplicable emotion appeared in his eyes for a moment, and then his gaze was sharp, and the hand holding the cross sword made a stabbing preparatory move, so that the effect of the sword skill also flashed on Heatscliff's cross sword.

And at this time, Luo Zhen, who had finished using the "Sharp Claw", was also stuck in the hard stun time of his sword technique, and his body froze in front of Heathcliff.

"That's the end of it."

Heathcliff made a calm declaration, and the crosssword in his hand stabbed in the direction of Rogen with a long effect light.

The flash of light burst into Heathcliff's hand.

This stab was really faster, more accurate, and stronger than the sword technique used by Asuna, and it didn't take Luo Zhen's chest directly without any mercy.

And as long as this blow hits, the winner will be decided.

In the First Strike Win mode, this blow is enough to be judged a powerful attack, and it will be a reason for victory anyway.

Luo really can't avoid it.

Because, Luo Zhen's body is still in the hard stun time of sword skills.

Therefore, Luo Zhen could not avoid defeat at all.

———— "If he hadn't put his fist on his side before hitting a hitstun."

"Zheng!"

At this moment, the effect of the sword technique shone on Luo Zhen's fist.

"That's ......!?"

Seeing this scene, Heathcliff's face changed as if he remembered something.

Luo Zhen stared at Heathcliff's slightly changing countenance, and the corners of his mouth were outlined.

"Blitz!"

This is the basic technique of single-shot spikes in physical arts.

Just before Luo Zhen fell into a stun, he made a preparatory move to trigger the sword technique of the [Body Technique].

In this way, even if Luo Zhen himself can't move because of his hard stun, the system that has detected the preparation will still let the sword technique activate.

As a result, Luo Zhen's fist flashed through the air like a bullet.

"Boom!"

With a crisp sound, the side of Heathcliff's stabbing cross sword was hit hard by a fist with a red effect light, and it bounced straight away.

"What......!?"

A look of shock finally appeared on Heathcliff's calm face.

Bounce off the weapon with your fist?

This is not impossible.

But you must know that after Luo Zhen finished using the sword technique of the one-handed sword, he fell into a state of hard stun and could not move, even if he made a preparatory move for the body sword skill in front of the hard stun, it could not be aimed at Heathcliff's weapon.

After all, Heathcliff's Thrust Sword Technique was launched after Luo Zhen had finished using his sword technique, or whether it was the sword technique of the unique skill of the "Holy Sword", Luo Zhen had absolutely no way of knowing its trajectory.

However, Luo Zhen still let the physical sword skills prepared in advance hit Heathcliff's weapon and bounced Heatscliff's sword skills away.

What does this mean?

It shows that Luo Zhen had already seen through Heatscliff's actions before using the one-handed sword technique, and even more so through the sword technique he was about to use, and also saw through the trajectory of this sword technique, so that he could make the preparatory action of the [Physical Technique" skill in advance, hit Heathcliff's weapon, and bounce his weapon away.

Why was Luo Zhen able to see through the launch of the sword technique in advance?

Why was Luo Zhen able to see through the trajectory of his sword skills in advance?

These were all questions in Heatscliff's mind.

However, these questions are destined to go unanswered.

Because, all of this is thanks to Luo Zhen's hard-working out-of-system skill ———— "Heart Eye".

Therefore......

"This is the real end!"

Luo Zhen, who bounced off Heathcliff's sword skills, only fell into a very short period of physical sword skill stun time, and then the stun time of one-handed sword skills and body sword skills ended at the same time.

"Zheng!"

The effect of the sword technique like water light lit up on Luo Zhen's Protector Sword.

Heathcliff immediately knew the true body of the sword technique that Luo Zhen was about to launch.

"Horizontal Quartet!"

It was a four-handed sword quadruple fencing technique that unleashed four fierce horizontal slashes at the enemy in front of them, causing them to form a four-sided phalanx.

Luo Zhen clenched the Protector Sword, stepped on the ground, and rushed towards Heathcliff with a speed far exceeding the previous speed, with an aqua blue sword skill effect light.

This time, it was Heatscliff's turn to fall into the stun time of the sword technique, coupled with the fact that the weapon and shield were bounced off, showing a posture of revealing in front of him, and there was no way to avoid it.

The tide is turning.

The winner should be Luo Zhen.

Just as this result is about to appear......

"Wow!"

An effect sound announcing the end of the match sounded in the air, causing a purple window to emerge.

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

Rogen and Heatscliffe were stunned at the same time.

At the same time, the purple barrier suddenly spread out between Luo Zhen and Heathcliff, blocking Luo Zhen's sword skills and provoking a dazzling flash.

This puts Heatscliffe's stun time to an end.

Rogen and Heathcliff jumped some distance away, looking wordlessly at the purple window in the middle.

A message was displayed in that window.

"Duel time?"

Luo Zhen fell into a daze.

"Tie?"

Heathcliff's brow moved.

Yes.

It's dueling time.

No matter what mode of duel, the winner must be determined within the specified time, otherwise when the duel time comes, the winner will be forcibly determined.

The winner is the side with the higher HP.

However, this judgment is calculated in a unit of five percent.

In other words, if one side is 70% and one side is 65%, and the difference is 5%, the former wins.

Conversely, if one side is 70% and the other side is 66%, and the difference is less than 5%, it will be a tie.

Both Rogen and Heathcliff have 100% full HP, and neither side has hit anyone.

To sum up, the result of this duel was a draw.

“…………”

Both Rogen and Heathcliff fell silent.

"Goo!"

"Whew!"

Caidie and Huadie flew to Luo Zhen's side and announced their return.

"Hoo ......"

As for Asuna, who had been watching the duel from the side, she was secretly relieved at first, and then she also fell into a daze.

No one thought that the result of this duel would be like this.
