“Swish!!”

At the same time, the long sword in Yuki's hand stabbed towards Fang Zheng as fast as a flash of lightning, and the sharp blade stabbed straight into Fang Zheng's chest. Obviously, she wanted to win by taking the initiative and bullying Fang Zheng's slow reaction speed of the sword to launch a quick attack!

“Well done!”

Looking at the long sword stabbing towards him, Fang Zheng's eyes lit up. Just from this one sword, he could tell that the girl named Youji in front of him was extremely powerful!

In this game, the most important factor in judging strength is reaction speed, which is actually the same as the essence of many online games. The faster your reaction speed, the higher your APM, and the stronger your strength will naturally be. To a certain extent, Yuki's speed is not much different from that of Kuroneko.

But strictly speaking, even if both are based on reaction speed, there is a big difference between the two. The Black Cat Man is as his name suggests, as agile and weird as a cat, while Yuki is more like a shocking lightning.

If we use a martial arts novel as an analogy, then Black Cat practices Lingbo Weibu, which is a strange and bizarre way of moving. And Yuki practices Yuenu Sword, which relies on the fact that the only martial arts in the world that cannot be broken is speed.

Just this one sword was enough to kill most people, but of course, Fang Zheng was not among them.

Facing Yuki's oncoming sword, Fang Zheng raised his sword without hesitation and chopped it down!

"Huh?"

Seeing Fang Zheng's reaction, You Ji cried out in surprise. You know, before this, she had been relying on quick attacks, and almost no one could react. In particular, in her opinion, the opponent was using a big sword, so she should dodge at this time. But what she didn't expect was that Fang Zheng would actually choose to attack her!

Thinking of this, Yuki also reacted immediately. She stepped on the ground with one foot, and dodged to the left like smoke, while trying to attack from the side of Fang Zheng. However, at this moment, Yuki was surprised to see that the man in front of her did not retreat but rushed towards her with a big sword!

Well done!

Facing Fang Zheng who was charging towards him, Yuki thrust out his sword again without hesitation, stabbing at Fang Zheng like lightning. This time, facing Yuki's attack, Fang Zheng made an incredible move.

He took a step forward, then let go of the left hand holding the hilt of the sword and slapped it forward suddenly!

Fang Zheng's reaction was beyond Youji's expectations. Her previous attack could have perfectly covered Fang Zheng in her attack range, but what surprised Youji was that Fang Zheng actually closed the distance again!

This is not conducive to the use of the greatsword!

However, the next moment, Youji understood what Fang Zheng wanted to do.

Just as Youji was about to stab Fangzheng's body, his shoulder sank slightly, and Youji's sword suddenly brushed Fangzheng's shoulder and stabbed into the air. At the same time, Fangzheng's left hand slapped forward and hit Youji's right wrist holding the sword.

“Bang!!”

Although bare-handed attacks would not cause any damage to the player, Fang Zheng's attack still caused Youji's right hand to bend, and the long sword that was piercing the air swayed to the side. At this moment, Youji's empty door was wide open and he lost his balance!

not good!!

As a powerful player, Youji certainly understood how bad his current situation was. Sure enough, at this moment, Fang Zheng clenched the sword with both hands again and swept it towards Youji!

“Woo——!”

This time, no matter how fast Youji reacted, she couldn't dodge. The only thing she could do was grit her teeth and turn the sword to block her side. However, the next moment, the sword in Fang Zheng's hand whizzed past like a tornado, heavily slashing the girl's petite body, and knocking her away.

“Swish!”

Although in duel mode, the health of both parties will be automatically balanced and various auxiliary enhancement effects will be cancelled, the basic attack power difference between weapons will not disappear. Fang Zheng's greatsword itself is the weapon with the best attack power in the game. The damage of this attack directly caused Yuki to lose one-fifth of his health.

However, Fang Zheng would not miss this opportunity. He swung the sword in his hand again without hesitation and chopped it down at Youji. Youji also reacted at this time. The long sword in her hand stabbed out like lightning and met the giant sword that was chopped down head-on.

“Ding! Ding! Ding!!”

The cheers and applause disappeared at some point, and all the players stared at the two people fighting in the duel arena in amazement. Whether it was Yuki's lightning-fast thrust or Fang Zheng's wild slashing that turned into a tornado, they were all filled with a captivating attraction, just like watching the most exciting part of a movie. Some people even clenched their fists involuntarily and held their breath.

Although Youji is indeed very talented and works very hard, Fang Zheng's combat experience far exceeds hers. Although the health of both sides has dropped to a certain extent during the attack, the damage caused by the initial blow has caused Youji to be in a very unfavorable situation. If this continues, she will definitely be the first to fall!

“Drink it—!”

Thinking of this, Youji immediately made up her mind. She shouted, and then the long sword in her hand exploded instantly, splitting into three and stabbing at Fang Zheng's sword!

“Ding ding ding!!”

With three quick collisions, the sword in Fang Zheng's hand was finally blocked and deflected by You Ji's thrust. At the same time, You Ji stepped on the ground, and turned into an almost invisible light and shadow with her sword, rushing towards Fang Zheng quickly. The long sword in her hand emitted a dazzling light, and then stabbed at Fang Zheng's chest!

This attack was successful!

Looking at this scene, Youji couldn't help but feel excited. She was sure that Fang Zheng had no way to block or dodge her attack this time. The sword's stiffness period had just passed, and her sword was about to pierce Fang Zheng's body. Even if Fang Zheng wanted to dodge, he didn't have enough time!

However... when Youji looked at Fang Zheng again, he was surprised to find that there was no expression of surprise on the other's face.

On the contrary, he slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a strange smile.

Why?

At this moment, suddenly, Youji felt a sudden impact from the sword in her hand, and then the sword in her hand was immediately bounced away!

What's going on? What's going on?

Yuuki's eyes widened in astonishment, and it was only then that she finally saw what had bounced her sword away.

That was the hilt of the greatsword that Fang Zheng was holding.

Can it still be used like this?!

This was Youji's only thought when he saw Fang Zheng raising the sword to chop down at him again.

"boom!!"

The huge sword hit Yuuki's petite body directly, sending her flying into the sky, and then it swung down heavily. The next one, Yuuki was seen tumbling out of the dust and falling to the ground, and her HP also fell to the lowest red range at this moment.

【The duel is over! 】

The system's mechanical prompt sound echoed in the duel arena, and the crowd onlookers stood there in a daze as if they were cast under a spell. Then after a moment, thunderous cheers and applause suddenly merged into one.

"Too awesome! Too awesome! So cool!! I never thought that someone could use a greatsword so coolly!!"

"Hey, hey, hey, this is a game! Why do I feel like I'm watching a movie? Is that man really not an NPC in this game or something? Can players do this!?"

"He can actually use the hilt to block the attack. Wait, the hilt can actually be used in this way. Why didn't I think of it?!"

Many players were very excited at this moment, not only because of the fierce battle that Fang Zheng and You Ji had just displayed, but also because of the tactics Fang Zheng used in the battle.

Use your hands to block and change the opponent's attack trajectory, and use the hilt of the sword to block the attack.

This kind of thing has never been thought of by ordinary players. All along, they just stupidly took the weapon in their hands and fought. But now, Fang Zheng's way of using the weapon seemed to open a door for these players, giving them a new understanding.

It turns out it can be used like this!!

Amid the excited conversations and discussions, Fang Zheng retracted his sword and came to Youji's side. The girl had already stood up, and there was no sign of defeat on her face. On the contrary, she looked very happy, as if she had won a lottery.

"Brother, you are really amazing! I didn't expect that you could do that! You are really amazing!"

"If you want to learn, I can teach you."

Fang Zheng also smiled at Youji.

"How about you join my team?"

"Of course, big brother, even if you chase me away now, I won't leave!"

"Very well, let's go then."

Since Yuki had agreed to join, Fang Zheng had no reason to stay here any longer. He led Yuki out of the crowd and then planned to go to Argo to let her take him to find other members who might join, but at this moment, suddenly, a figure appeared beside Fang Zheng, blocking his way.

"Hello, sir."

The person who appeared in front of Fang Zheng was the black-haired girl who had previously duelled with You Ji but was ultimately defeated. At this moment, she was looking at Fang Zheng quietly and steadily with a decent smile on her face.

"Excuse me...but I just heard what you said, sir...you haven't been able to create a guild yet because of insufficient numbers. So, would you like to come to our 'Dark Nebula'? We have a lot of logistics players here, but not many fighters on the front line. If possible, I hope to invite you to join."

Having said that, the black-haired girl bowed respectfully to Fang Zheng.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am Kuroyukihime, the leader of the Dark Nebula Guild. If you are willing to come to our guild, we will provide you with all-round support in terms of supplies and other aspects, and you just need to focus on fighting. If you do not intend to separate, I can let you form a separate combat team to be responsible for this matter... What do you think, sir?"

"Um……"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng also looked at the girl named Kuroyukihime curiously. He had to admit that this girl was the most intelligent person he had seen since he came to this world. The conditions she proposed were also quite good, enough to make many people excited.

But unfortunately, Founder also has his own plans.

"No, thank you for your kindness. I still prefer to control a guild myself, but I think we may have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."

"OK."

The smile on the girl's face did not change at all. Even though she was rejected, she did not seem angry. On the contrary, Kuroyukihime opened the panel and looked at Fang Zheng curiously.

"How about we add each other as friends?"

"Of course not."

Fang Zheng agreed to Kuroyukihime's request without hesitation.
