Chapter 280: Past Events (War 3)
"It's over. It's great to be able to deal with the general for so long."
"Indeed, this is the first time that the general has been injured." Looking at Chen Yue who had fallen to the ground, people watching the excitement in the distance talked about it.
However, Chen Yue and Ying's next actions puzzled them. Chen Yue slowly got up from the ground, and Ying also distanced himself from Chen Yue.
"It looks like it's not over yet?"
Amid the discussions, Chen Yue did not show any sign of defeat. After all, his battle with Ying was beyond the comprehension of mortals.
The two of them distanced themselves again and faced each other again. Chen Yue held the sword tightly in his hand, his eyes firm, as if telling Ying that he would not give up easily. Ying stood quietly, as if waiting for Chen Yue's next move.
"You are very fast. I underestimated your strength." Chen Yue said in a deep voice, while adjusting his breathing and state. His eyes gradually became sharp, and the pupil of his left eye turned into a blood-red pattern.
"But I also have backup plans."
Looking at Chen Yue's blood-red pupils, Ying couldn't help but feel a little alert. He had never seen Chen Yue like this before, and she didn't know what abilities those blood-red pupils had.
However, Ying did not retreat, and her eyes were equally firm, as if she had foreseen the outcome of the upcoming battle at the moment she looked into Chen Yue's eyes.
Chen Yue took a deep breath, and the air around his body seemed to start flowing. His momentum continued to rise, as if he was about to tear the entire space apart.
And those spectators in the distance also felt an unprecedented sense of oppression at this moment, as if an invisible force was squeezing their hearts.
"Be careful!" Chen Yue's body disappeared instantly. The next moment, sword qi flashing with lightning came from all directions towards Ying. These sword qi were extremely fast, as fast as lightning, as if they were going to tear the entire space apart. Each sword qi carried a fierce killing intent, which made people shudder.
Facing such a dense attack, Ying did not show any panic. She moved her body and dodged most of the sword energy like a ghost. However, a few sword energy still cut through the corners of her clothes, leaving a series of charred marks and emitting a pungent burnt smell.
"The aura has changed." Ying exclaimed in her heart. She had never felt such an aura before. Chen Yue's aura at this moment was completely different from before. At this moment, he seemed to have become a different person, emitting a kind of heart-pounding pressure.
Shadow flashed and came to Chen Yue's front as if teleporting. The razor in her hand was swung out instantly and stabbed towards Chen Yue's waist. The speed of this attack was so fast that it seemed to penetrate Chen Yue's body, bringing up a sharp gust of wind.
However, just as the razor was about to touch Chen Yue, Ying suddenly found that his attack had missed. Chen Yue's body was like a phantom, and Ying's attack went straight through it.
Ying's face changed slightly, and she realized that Chen Yue in front of her had become different from before. This change surprised her, but it also inspired her fighting spirit.
Grabbing Ying's wrist, Chen Yue moved as fast as lightning. With a slight pull, Ying lost her balance and fell backwards. But Ying was not an ordinary person. She quickly adjusted her body shape, flipped in the air, and landed steadily on the sea.
"Not bad, quick reaction." Chen Yue's voice was full of praise, but his eyes were sharper. The next battle would be even more intense.
Ying did not answer, but just stared at Chen Yue quietly. She was full of vigilance, because she knew that Chen Yue was no longer the same Chen Yue as before. At this moment, he seemed to have been reborn and became even more terrifying.
On the sea, the wind gradually grew stronger and the waves surged. The two men shuttled between the waves, and every clash was accompanied by the collision of lightning and sword energy, making a deafening sound.
Chen Yue's figure disappeared again, leaving only a few residual images on the sea.
Ying's pupils shrank slightly. This was the nth time that Chen Yue had suddenly disappeared. This skill was just like a normal attack, with no cooldown at all, which made her feel unprecedented pressure.
Chen Yue suddenly appeared above Ying. In his hand was a long sword flashing with lightning, with the tip of the sword pointed directly at Ying's throat. This attack came unexpectedly, and Ying had no time to dodge, and could only watch the tip of the sword approaching.
However, just as the tip of the sword was about to touch Ying's throat, Ying suddenly twisted her body and dodged the attack at an incredible angle. At the same time, she swung the razor in her hand and chopped at Chen Yue's arm.
Chen Yue seemed to have anticipated this, and his figure became illusory again, passing through easily. But Ying did not give up, and she followed closely behind Chen Yue, constantly attacking.
As time went on, the battle between the two became more intense. Every clash would trigger huge energy fluctuations, and the sword energy and lightning would intertwine to form colorful beams of light.
In this fierce battle, Ying gradually felt anxious: "No, if I continue like this, I will lose sooner or later."
Although she was not inferior to Chen Yue in strength, speed and reaction, she was obviously at a disadvantage in terms of skills and moves. Facing Chen Yue's strange ability to become a virtual being, she felt she had no idea where to start.
"No, there must be something I overlooked!" Ying took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and began to carefully recall every detail of the battle just now.
Ying recalled the previous battle scenes and found that whenever she launched an attack, Chen Yue could always easily avoid or block it. However, when Chen Yue fought back, it always posed a threat to her. This made her realize that Chen Yue's ability to become a virtual being seemed to work only when attacked.
"Yao's body has the ability to become virtual, so my physical attacks are completely ineffective. Moreover, every time he fights back, it is after my attack is over." Ying thought to himself.
"This means that his body will only materialize when he actively attacks. In other words, the moment he attacks me is the best time for me to counterattack."
"Hahaha, what's wrong, Ying? Do you want me, your good brother, to give you some water?"
Chen Yue's voice was somewhat teasing, and his figure was erratic, as if he could launch an attack from anywhere at any time.
However, a smile slowly appeared on Ying's lips, as if he was very confident about the upcoming battle.
