Heathcliff walked up to Xia Qianshi easily, ignored the boiling audience, and said: "I thought about it afterwards that day, and it is true that Asuna should not be used as a bet, so this time, let's simply have a sword-to-sword duel." ”

"There's no problem with the duel, but if I win, I hope Captain Hitzcliff won't forget what he promised me."

"Don't worry, I'll do this kind of thing whether I win or lose."

Heathcliff pulled out the one-handed straight sword hidden behind the huge shield, he held the shield in his left hand, and the tip of the sword in his right hand was facing Xia Qianshi.

At the same time, Xia Qianshi also reached behind his back, pulled out the knife and sword that were placed there crosswise, and pointed it directly at Heathcliff......

Battle, on the verge of breaking out.

The Duel mode is a one-hit winner, i.e., "Attack the opponent's body with your own weapon" is the winner.

This mode is designed to prevent casualties during the match, but if the single shot is too heavy, it can also cause irreparable mistakes.

The countdown numbers began to appear directly above the arena in sight.

10……

9……

8……

Heathcliff retracted his smile, his brass-colored pupils emitting an overwhelming momentum; Xia Qianshi also lowered the center of gravity of his body and completely entered the battle mode.

The deafening cheers slowly moved away, and at this time, Xia Qianshi's eyes were left alone, and he didn't know if the sense organs had begun to speed up, and he even felt that the colors around him had changed subtly.

6……

5……

4……

Xia Qianshi began to move his body in subtle amplitudes.

The PK in SAO is not the same as the fight in reality, to put it simply, all moves in SAO have a fixed attack trajectory and cannot be interrupted halfway.

For example, if you use a one-handed straight sword technique to slash the upper dan, you will inevitably swing the sword upwards in a half-moon-shaped trajectory, and it is impossible to attack the enemy's waist or lower plate.

Of course, if Guo Jingming attacked Yao Ming with an upper slash, it would be an attack on the opponent's knee no matter what.

But this is extraordinary, and it is impossible to change the attack trajectory of the upper stage slash.

In the same way, skills such as the sword skill 'Tsujikaze' and the rapier sword skill 'Stardust Splash' all have a fixed attack trajectory, and even if you can use the 'Body Movement Command to release the skill', it is just a matter of adjusting the orientation in order to better hit the weak point.

Therefore, 'predicting the opponent's attack skills and cracking them in a reasonable way' has become the PK method in SAO.

Xia Qianshi moved his body at this time to avoid being guessed by Heathcliff.

DUEL！！！

When such a font appeared above the arena, Xia Qianshi and Heathcliff rushed out at the same time!

In an instant, the distance between the two of them was shortened from 20 seconds to less than a meter, and their eyes met in the air, and each could see the excitement in each other's eyes.

"So you, like me, are looking forward to this fight!"

Such a voice sounded in the hearts of the two.

In the next moment, Xia Qianshi suddenly swung his sword!

The one-meter-long one-handed straight sword dragged out a blue light in the air, and the blade was accompanied by the aqua blue light effect, launching a wave of fierce attacks from top to bottom!

After Heathcliff's urgent shield defense, Xia Qianshi's attack did not stop!

The aqua blue halo on the blade of the sword suddenly appeared, and he suddenly spun his body, and the light from the blade was like a blue half-quarter moon, slashing towards Heathcliff's waist!

Two consecutive attacks, four decision points, subordinate to the one-handed straight sword skill, the upper sword skill, and the vertical quad slash!

The dazzling aqua blue cross light suddenly spread out in front of Xia Qianshi's body!

However, Heathcliff's defense was like an iron bucket, almost covering two-thirds of the body's giant shield forward, and Xia Qianshi's attacks all smashed on the giant shield, splashing out a "clanging" spark sound, and returned in vain.

But this is just a false trick of Xia Qianshi!

When he rotated his body, under the cover of the pale blue halo of the one-handed straight sword, his left-handed knife was already glowing with a faint green glow!

Almost at the end of the vertical quad slash, he shifted to the left, crossed the giant shield blocking in front of him, and assumed the posture of drawing his sword and slashing!

Sword-based sword skills - Tsujifeng!

Like a gust of wind passing through Heathcliff's body, Xia Qianshi launched a swift slash, leaving Heatscliff with less than a second to react.

But it turned out that he used the sword in his hand to defend against Xia Qianshi's fatal attack in less than a second!

"It's my turn now!"

Taking advantage of Xia Qianshi's backward swing, Heathcliff instantly launched a counterattack, he hid his entire body in the giant shield of his right arm, and launched a crushing charge towards Xia Qianshi with unrivaled momentum!

Divine Sword Technique - Shield Rush!

If it were someone else, he would inevitably be unable to resist because of the backswing of the attack, but Xia Qianshi had already predicted that Hizcliff would launch a rush technique against him when he used the 'Tsujifeng', so he had already prepared a backhand!

The one-handed straight sword, which had already been charged, slashed a water-blue half-moon-shaped sword from above from the vertical direction behind him, and slashed at the head of the rushing Heathcliff!

One-handed straight sword sword technique, which belongs to the single-shot heavy sword skill - brutal force point!

"Boom ————!"

When the shield and sword collide together, it is not only a simple resonance of gold and iron, but also a dust caused by the powerful force!

Under the shock of this huge force, Xia Qianshi and Heathcliff were forced to take several steps back at the same time before they stopped.

The entire arena was silent......

"Gollum ——!"

Countless swallowing voices rang out, and I don't know who started applauding first, like a keg of dynamite that had been ignited, and a tsunami of cheers exploded in the audience!

"It's too strong!"

"It's not human!"

"Lord Xia Qianshi's reaction is so fast, and his attack is so fierce!"

"Captain Heathcliff's defenses are simply impeccable!"

Compared with those ordinary audience members who seem to have to speak, the talk in the VIP seats is much more professional.

Asuna's clenched hands were already soaked with sweat, if it was in reality, at this time, my heart would probably jump out of my chest because of nervousness, right?

She looked at Kirito beside her, wanting to get a reassuring answer: "Now it's a big advantage for a thousand things, right?" ”

“…… I can't give a definitive answer either. ”

Kirito held his chin with one hand, and was already fully immersed in the arena game.

If you replace Brother Qianshi with yourself, will you be able to win this game?

After some thought, he came up with the answer that it would be very difficult to defeat Heathcliff even with the exclusive special skills he had just learned some time ago.

"Heathcliff's defense is too strong, and the counterattack launched quickly after the defense is also very sharp, of course, as the so-called long-term defense is bound to lose, I think it is still Brother Qianshi's victory rate is relatively large."

Luckily he said.

Kirito came back to his senses and smiled, "It doesn't matter who wins or loses, all in all, let's enjoy this game first, because this is the highest level duel in the game right now!" ”
