What made Li Yao even more cautious was that this thief also obviously realized this scenario.
It’s clear he’s dealing with a strong thief, probably from a rival camp, otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a strong intent to kill.
Li Yao remained composed as he slowly advanced. If anyone could see their figures, they’d realize when they had approached within five yards of each other, a cold glint flashed in the thief’s eyes, slowly lifting his dagger, preparing to unleash a skill.
Just as Li Yao’s body suddenly unleashed two Flying Wheels, his figure was revealed with a Shadow Roll, simultaneously, his Long Bow was quickly drawn.
A sense of astonishment passed through the thief’s eyes, but the two were too close, he couldn’t evade the Flying Round Blade.
As the Flying Wheels hit, the thief began to bleed and started feeling a sense of terror.
Li Yao’s Arrow Shaft, swift as a meteor, scored another hit on the thief.
A terrifying number for damage floated out, the figure of the thief shattered on impact.
However, a sense of unease immediately rose in Li Yao’s heart.
By the time Li Yao revealed himself, the scene was already displayed. The primary screen had immediately switched to them.
Li Yao’s lightning-fast skirmish with the thief drew everyone’s attention. A standoff between experts always captivated the audience.
Predictably, just as Li Yao initiated his Deterrence.
Accompanied by the sound of the clash of weapons, the thief’s stealth attack skill, which could only be used when invisible, was suddenly blocked by Li Yao’s Deterrence and Magic Weapon.
Li Yao made two consecutive Shadow Rolls, and swiftly appeared behind the thief. Cancelling his Deterrence, he violently pulled the trigger of his handgun.
The figure of the thief shattered once again.
Without hesitating, Li Yao immediately used Escape and Jump.
His body rapidly retreated dozens of yards, and in a flash, he hid behind a large tree.
Another figure of the thief appeared, his dagger dropping into empty space once more.
The thief didn’t enter stealth this time but held his dagger, his eyes staring intently at Li Yao, moving his feet slowly.
“Shadow Puppet Thief.”
Three words were calmly uttered by Li Yao. What he had just slain were merely two Phantom Puppets.
This was the most annoying type of thief for any professional class.
Having Shadow Puppets could easily confuse people. Even though their attacks weren’t great, their survival abilities were definitely top-notch.
Extremely difficult to kill, Li Yao initially overlooked this, and both his attacks had killed the Shadow Puppet all at once.
The two gaze at each other cautiously, particularly the Shadow Puppet Thief. Ever since he completed part of an elite mission, his killings had always been a sure bet; it was the first time he encountered a powerless situation.
Even though his Shadow Puppet’s properties weren’t high, it still had 70% of his health and attributes. But it had been one-shotted by the opponent twice, the high damage made his heart quiver.
His elite profession was indeed peculiar, but it didn’t have much increase in attack or defense. If he was hit, he’d probably also be one-shotted.
Meanwhile, in the stadium, the main screen was replaying the scene in slow motion.
As they were replaying, the shadowy figures of the two could also be seen during their stealth.
“As expected of Prairie Fire, noticing a stealthed thief because of the snapping of a small, distant branch. That’s too cautious,” KB exclaimed.
Many spectators didn’t understand. In their view, couldn’t a broken branch indicate the presence of a thief? They could make the same conclusion.
“Xiao Ze explained: “You noticed that small broken branch because the camera gave a close-up. It’s as if your focus was on that point but don’t forget, there are many noises in the jungle and you saw how severe the environment is, being killed by a monster if not careful. Paying attention to all directions, in this kind of environment, could you notice a small broken branch and determine the presence of a thief?”
The crowd understood. Indeed, when humans are focused on something, they often neglect everything else. For example, they pay attention to the close-up shot and neglect the noises around the shot.
“Both personalities are very powerful. The exchange was so exciting; it’s down to half a catty. It seems like no one can control anyone.” Xiao Ze remarked.
KB shook his head: “I don’t see it that way.”
“Oh, why is that?” Xiao Ze asked intrigued.
“It’s clear from the scenes just now that this Orca had discovered Prairie Fire early on and has been at an advantage. Although a small oversight put Prairie Fire on alert, his bizarre elite profession still holds a significant advantage. If it were an ordinary thief, they would’ve been killed twice already, ” KB explained.
“But even so, they are evenly matched. After all, an elite profession is part of his strength,” asked the hostess Zhao Li.
“No, Prairie Fire hasn’t used his elite skills yet, let alone the Hunter’s equipment. None of his pets have come out yet either. He just used the ordinary means of a Hunter. But, I guess Orca has almost exhausted his moves. Now the two are in a standoff, and the outcome is apparent,” KB replied.
The confused spectators suddenly got it.
“Use your elite profession. Show me what you got,” Orca scraped his dagger a bit, coldly uttered.
“It’s not necessary. You must be running out of tricks,” Li Yao casually pulled his Long Bow.
“Arrogant,” Orca said with some annoyance, he had never failed to assassinate a player since acquiring his elite profession.
He once assassinated a guild vice president who was protected by three guild teams, then left carefree, leaving dozens of people helpless, instead, continuously getting killed by him.
The video of this incident spread on the official website, and it gained a shocking amount of views, he was now known as a god-level thief.
However, he hasn’t even managed to force out the elite skills of Li Yao. Using common skills, Li Yao seems to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.
Seeing Li Yao pull his bow, Orca subconsciously moved to hide behind the nearest tree to the left, but after only two steps, he was frozen by the Ice Trap.
Li Yao’s Arrow Shaft flew out.
In an instant, the Shadow Cloak could remove control and magic effects and break combat.
The moment he broke combat and entered stealth with a roll, he dodged Li Yao’s arrow.
“When did you set up that trap?” Orca’s voice suddenly came from behind.
“Guess,” Li Yao expressed no intention of turning around, using voice control direction was a thief’s forte.
“You won’t be so lucky this time,” Orca’s voice came from the left of Li Yao, “Are you ready? Look at me finish you in a sec. I must admit, you’re strong. But this fight has been decided.”
“You’re right, this fight has been decided.”..
