Chapter 1094 - 1094 Assassin Versus Assassin!

1094 Assassin Versus Assassin!

Although the Leap Technique was only an A-grade skill with a relatively low level, it was an exceedingly rare spatial attribute skill with unique properties.

Liu Yan, with his A-grade Leap Technique, successfully thwarted Anton Mellon’s surprise attack and defended against his assault.

Upon realizing that his surprise attack had failed, Anton Mellon suddenly felt a chill down his back. Before he could react, Liu Yan’s dagger moved to block Anton Mellon’s unexpected assault.

At this moment, Liu Yan activated his B-grade Backstab skill, launching an attack while skillfully evading Anton Mellon’s moves.

However, Liu Yan didn’t anticipate that Anton Mellon would react so swiftly and employ such a cunning defensive stance.

Nonetheless, Liu Yan remained composed. His first attack having missed, he promptly withdrew a common tactic among Assassins.

Liu Yan then utilized both his A-grade Traceless Silence and B-grade Shadow Cloak skills.

In an instant, Liu Yan’s entire form vanished, along with all sound. Even the sound of his heartbeat disappeared.

Anton Mellon swiftly spun around, prepared for combat. Yet, all he saw was emptiness. He couldn’t discern Liu Yan’s presence.

It was only at this moment that Anton Mellon comprehended that Liu Yan was also an Assassin.

Upon careful observation, he found that he was unable to detect the hidden Liu Yan. He was aware that Liu Yan could indeed sense his presence when he was in stealth mode.

From this perspective, Liu Yan’s skills surpassed his own.

Anton Mellon furrowed his brow. He hadn’t expected that Liu Yan, possessing such formidable long-range attack capabilities, was also skilled in close combat. In the realm of Assassins, Liu Yan’s proficiency was on par with his own.

At this point, Anton Mellon couldn’t afford to be complacent and stealthily re-entered his concealed state.

In the path of an Assassin, initiative was of utmost importance.

Being in the light meant being passive.

Even though Liu Yan could roughly sense Anton Mellon’s approximate position when he was invisible, he also had to enter stealth mode at this moment. Without it, being entirely visible would put him at an extreme disadvantage.

With both Liu Yan and Anton Mellon in stealth mode, the scene in the arena took on an eerie quality.

Both Liu Yan and Anton Mellon were now invisible.

While Liu Yan could get a general sense of Anton Mellon’s position in stealth mode, Anton Mellon, on the other hand, couldn’t pin down Liu Yan’s location. However, due to his battle awareness and experience in detecting murderous intent, he had a sense when Liu Yan drew near.

Yet for the spectators in the arena, they could see nothing.

From their perspective, the arena was empty, and they couldn’t discern any movements of Liu Yan and Anton Mellon.

Furthermore, they lacked the strength to sense the two combatants, and even if they could, the barrier prevented their perception skills from penetrating it.

The members of Team Origin wore curious expressions.

Lu Dajiang remarked, “Liu Yan can turn invisible? And he’s skilled as an Assassin too?”

Wei Feng said, “This guy has quite a few tricks up his sleeve.”

Ning Shanshan mused, “It’s intriguing. An Assassin against an Assassin. A rare sight, haha!”

Liu Qingrou pointed out, “We can’t see anything. We’re in the dark about how the fight is progressing.”

Huang Yuan concluded, “All we can do is wait for the results.”

Meanwhile, Allen Smith, Murong Xue, and others who knew Liu Yan well understood his capabilities. They were aware that Liu Yan possessed strong close combat skills.

However, it seemed Liu Yan wasn’t opting for a straightforward takedown but rather appeared interested in exploring the ways of an Assassin.

Ye Yifan expressed his confusion, “Liu Yan’s martial arts are quite formidable, and they can even outmatch Assassins. Why not take Anton Mellon down directly with his martial arts?”

Luo Wei, who also followed the path of the Assassin, said excitedly, “It’s rare to encounter an expert Assassin. The captain wishes to spar with them! It’s a shame I can’t see the exact situation. Otherwise, it would greatly benefit me to observe and learn.”

Murong Xue added, “Liu Yan is usually so composed, but this time he’s deliberately prolonging the fight. It seems he’s very confident in defeating Anton Mellon.”

“Likely.” Alan Smith, who knows Liu Yan well, concurred.

Upon hearing their discussion, Lu Dajiang and the others understood that Liu Yan appeared to have a better strategy to defeat Anton Mellon. However, Liu Yan intentionally refrained from using his martial arts and instead chose to engage in a duel with Anton Mellon in the field of Assassins.

Although there were more effective ways to secure victory, it was evident that Liu Yan was brimming with self-confidence.

After confirming this point, Lu Dajiang and his comrades were considerably relieved. It seemed that Liu Yan would soon defeat Anton Mellon. This would lead them to victory in the territorial battle and earn substantial rewards. All members of Team Origin would enjoy significant boosts in their strength.

In contrast, the members of Team Elf on the other side did not appear as confident.

Initially, they believed that Liu Yan excelled in long-range combat, given his consistent performance in previous matches.

As such, they had assumed that Anton Mellon, as an Assassin, would have the upper hand against Liu Yan’s long-range abilities and easily defeat him.

However, the unfolding situation after the battle began far exceeded their expectations.

Liu Yan, who was exceptionally skilled in long-range attacks, turned out to be an Assassin. Moreover, he seemed to possess a high level of expertise in the field of Assassins!

“Who is this Liu Yan? How is he proficient in both archery and assassination?”

“Is he still a newcomer? Why is he so extraordinary?”

“We can’t see what’s happening. We don’t know how it’s going!”

“In any case, from the initial stages of the battle, it’s clear that the captain didn’t gain any advantage!”

“This Liu Yan is genuinely fearsome. A newcomer having such strength…”

“If this continues, I wonder if the captain can defeat Liu Yan.”

“We never expected to encounter someone who could compete with the captain in the field of assassins!”

The elves watched the empty arena with growing concern.

However, at this moment, there was nothing they could do. They could only quietly wait for the results.

The arena remained empty, with shadows occasionally appearing, colliding, and then vanishing.

Although they couldn’t see anything, members from both teams could only imagine the intensity of the battle in the arena.

Simultaneously, Liu Yan and Anton Mellon had clashed several times in the arena. Neither gained an advantage, but neither was at a disadvantage either.

For a while, Liu Yan and Anton Mellon were evenly matched.

Liu Yan quietly nodded to himself, acknowledging that Anton Mellon was truly formidable. Competing evenly with him in the field of Assassins proved that Anton Mellon was indeed an expert!
