Yang Han looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who was smiling and looking harmless, and thought about countermeasures.

"Okay, let's have a competition!" The time to consider this was extremely short, and after thinking about the gains and losses, he nodded and agreed.

In the original work, Akihiko Aoba had a fight with Kirito, and the end result was that he used GM authority to speed himself up and distort the outcome of the match. But in the final analysis, Kirito did lose, at least in the eyes of outsiders, he was defeated by Akihiko Kayaba.

Yang Han didn't know if Kayaba Jinghiko would still use this old routine when competing with himself at the moment, but he had to guard against people, and he believed that as long as he noticed this in advance, he would not follow Kirito's old path as a result.

Heathcliff is also Akihiko Kayaba, after getting Yang Han's affirmative reply, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slightly hook a shallow arc, this expression was captured by the sharp-eyed Yang Hansuo, and he was even more convinced that the other party would definitely play tricks! He didn't say anything, though, and gave the same smile as he turned to walk towards his combat readiness area.

The two sides stood in their respective positions in the arena, Asuna stepped aside to observe, and when there were only two people left in the arena, Heathcliff immediately skillfully called up the system menu and sent out an invitation to fight.

Although Heathcliff is not as popular as Yang Han, due to his special skill called Divine Sword, he is no less well-known among players than Asuna, and it is even rumored that no one has ever seen his HP drop to a yellow state.

Here is a hint of a system setting, when the player's HP in the game is less than 50%, their own HP gauge will change to yellow, and less than 80% will turn red. The battle between Yang Han and Kayaba Jinghiko is a primary competition, and the decision of victory or defeat is to see which side's HP falls to the yellow state first.

The reason why it is a beginner battle is also to take care of the safety of both sides of the duel, because some powerful skills can instantly reduce the amount of blood by 20%, and in today's SAO, whether it is a battle or a field leveling, as long as the blood is empty, it will only be one result - death!

In order to avoid such a thing from happening, there is only one way to learn in the game now, and all other ways to learn are resisted, and no one is willing to vomit with their lives.

When the stopwatch of the countdown clears to zero, both sides immediately have action. Since he was not an enemy with Asuna, Yang Han naturally had no intention of keeping his hands! This time, he was the first to charge, so fast that even the afterimage could not be captured.

Akihiko Kayaba's character is a one-handed sword and a one-handed shield, and he is destined to take a semi-defensive route from the point of view of his attire, so although he also charges and runs after the battle begins, he keeps the shield in front of him.

What should I do if I want to attack an enemy with a shield? According to most people's understanding in the game, it is to break the shield first, and then kill! Although the defense of the player with the shield has been greatly increased, his speed and the power of the one-handed sword have been reduced accordingly.

Yang Han's Ghost Cut is a two-handed sword, and it is also an upgradeable weapon with special attributes. Originally, the initial attribute of this knife was close to 80 centimeters in length, but after several enhancements and upgrades, the blade length was increased again, almost to the point of one meter two!

In addition to the length of the knife, the blade is naturally thickened, and the shape is also more stylish! This weapon was originally an inadvertent development of Kayaba Akihiko, and it was originally a knife with no results at all, because if you want to raise it to the final version, you not only need a lot of materials, but also have the luck to go against the sky, and you can never fail in strengthening!

However, due to the loss of control from the 20th to the 60th floors by Icarus, the success rate of almost all players has increased to the point of rebellion, which has contributed to the smooth growth of the weapon of Onikiri. Now this weapon can be said to be an out-of-specification equipment, but Akihiko Kayaba can't question anything, after all, the prototype of the weapon was designed by him.

Back to the topic, when Yang Han took the lead in attacking, he watched the sword attack. Kayaba Akihiko also had to choose to raise a shield to resist. His character's attack is to defend against the opponent's offensive moves while attacking the enemy's gaps with his one-handed sword.

However, it is a pity that although Yang Han only has one weapon, the length is much longer than that of a one-handed sword, and the extra blade is close to half a sword length is enough for him to dodge the distance of Kayaba Jingyan's one-handed sword. This created a very embarrassing situation, Yang Han's slash could shock Kayaba Jinghiko, but his one-handed sword could not stab Yang Han.

A jingle slash, although Kayaba Jinghiko resisted it all, there was no way to take the other party. Countless sword blades danced around Yang Han's body, as if a tornado was blowing around him, and the impenetrable sword shadow blocked him from moving forward at all.

As the saying goes, one inch is long and one inch is strong, and this feeling that a child can't reach the toy in the hands of an adult makes him more and more annoyed! However, Yang Han, who had been staring at Akihiko Kayaba's facial expression, immediately changed his move when he saw the other party's expression!

"Ghost Cut Liberation Skill - Thousand Ghost Cut!" A back jump widened the distance, Yang Han put the ghost cut horizontally in front of him, and said this while swiping the blade of the knife with his left hand

And because of the other party's sudden backward jump, Kayaba Jinghiko immediately mistook Yang Han's physical strength for bottoming out, and a shield smashed over.

Everything seems to have been choreographed by Yang Han, and Akihiko Kayaba, who was just a game developer, was immediately hit by such a combat routine. It is inevitable to fall into the trap, this is a kind of habitual thinking, just like a hunter who has been waiting for his prey to let his guard down, and when he sees his prey suddenly rushing towards him, he will also make a chase that the other party is ready to flee.

Bang! The shield slammed into the ghost cut that Yang Han was defending on his chest, and then Yang Han spun and discharged, and the phantom-like sword dance was staged again!

One, two, three...... That's a total of 12 knives! The clanging slash is not tricky, and it goes straight to the opponent's cross shield, but it is fiercer and faster than the other!

Suddenly the dust rose from the field, and when they saw such a wonderful moment, countless people stood up from their seats and stared at it without blinking, eager to keep this scene in their eyes forever.

Asuna covered her grown mouth in the distance with a look of disbelief, she really didn't expect that the head of the regiment who would only stay in the guild's garrison all day as a rice worm would be so powerful! Although she had also teamed up with Yang Han and knew that the other party also had original sword skills, she was still stunned by this skill that she had never seen before.
