Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

”Shadow Power” and ”Phantom Avatar” are real skills that exist in this world, and they are both key skills for studying Shadow Stream.

Originally, to light up ”Shadow Deception,” Yang Yu had spent quite a few Skill Points to first activate ”Shadow Power.”

Having learned it, Yang Yu naturally wanted to see if he could develop new uses for it.

The best use Yang Yu could think of now was to create a shadow that could mimic his own actions to confuse the enemy.

Taking advantage of the moment Aslit was distracted by her fear of the shadow’s attack, Yang Yu pulled a huge pair of scissors from the System with one hand and grabbed onto Aslit’s clothes with the other.

With a ”rip” sound, Yang Yu fashioned a backless sweater for Aslit.

The biting cold wind howled, penetrating through the back of Aslit’s clothing, as she turned around, her sharp sword blade whipped up a hurricane, slashing towards Yang Yu.

Holding the cut piece of black fabric, Yang Yu dodged Aslit’s sharp blade, put away the scissors, and took out a shield.

Feeling something crawling on his hand, Yang Yu glanced at the fabric he had cut.

Without looking, it was not a big deal, but upon looking, his SAN value plummeted.

That piece of fabric seemed like an indescribable creature from the dark night, extending several black tendrils of thread, searching for something around. After an unsuccessful search, it lost its vitality and hung limply.

What exactly was this thing? It felt like some kind of creature.

Through the panel, Yang Yu only saw the words ”Torn Cloth.”

Yang Yu had never before collected the clothing of the Luo Ze Elite, now he was even using it as an undergarment over his outer clothing.

The warm undergarments made by the Luo Ze Empire not only could maintain body temperature on the Sailuomen Plain during winter, but also exhibited a healing ability that normal clothing did not have.

Sending the clothes for investigation, they only found that they contained a type of magic power that could extend and reconnect threads, which was very special, complex, and beyond what Wansheng Country’s technology could recreate.

The healing ability of Aslit’s black garment was a cut above what Luo Ze Elite wore, feeling more like a living creature than fabric to the touch.

”You shameless, despicable little man!”

Before Yang Yu could think further, Aslit kicked up a gust of wind, raising her long sword parallel to her shoulder. In the next instant, her speed surged explosively as she roared and lunged straight at Yang Yu.

Putting the piece of black cloth into the System, Yang Yu raised his shield to meet Aslit’s sharp blade.

In an instant, Aslit’s blade pierced through Yang Yu’s shield. The whirlwind at her feet burst forth with intense strength, pushing Yang Yu to slide on the snow, letting the blade further penetrate the shield and strike directly at his face.

As the blade came swiftly towards him, Yang Yu turned his head to dodge, and the sharp edge grazed near his ear, leaving a trail of blood.

Seeing that her attack had not succeeded, Aslit forcefully pulled out her sword, preparing to attack again, while Yang Yu simply let go of the shield, which was then snatched away by the blade.

Aslit swung her blade, flinging the embedded shield several meters away.

Seizing this brief opportunity, Yang Yu activated ”Shadow Deception.”

The black shadow caught up with the blade, landing a strike on Aslit’s chest and leaving an elongated slash.

Aslit’s garment quickly climbed and healed again, but the wound on Aslit’s body could not heal in a short time, and the blood slightly dampened the black cloth along the fresh angular cut.

Ignoring the pain from the wound and the cold from behind, Aslit unleashed ”Wind-breaking Flow. Secret Technique. Breaking Thought.” Her plain-looking attack concealed endless lethality; simplifying complexity, Aslit concentrated all her strength on a single point of the blade.

As he slashed through ”Shadow Deception,” Yang Yu took out a new shield with his other hand.

However, the attack Aslit launched was too fast; before Yang Yu could use the cooled down ”Shield Block,” he already met the blow with the shield in hand.

Aslit’s sword blade completely split Yang Yu’s shield in two from the middle, and blood sprayed from Yang Yu’s arm.

Yet another shield of rare quality was instantly destroyed...

Aslit’s attack wasn’t over yet; she withdrew her sword blade and thrust forward with both hands on the hilt, exclaiming, ”Wind-breaking Flow. Breaking Formation.”

The sharp sword blade emitted a terrifying invisible Sword Qi, thrusting rapidly toward Yang Yu’s abdomen.

In Aslit’s view, this move was akin to a general’s, believing that if this sword pierced Yang Yu’s body, he would have no way to escape.

However, Yang Yu’s body once again shifted unbelievably, and Aslit’s sword blade narrowly missed Yang Yu’s side.

A stream of blood splattered from Yang Yu’s wound, but it was far from a fatal injury.

Frostbite status flickered on and off Aslit’s body, her speed began to slow down, and with the disappearance of the speed bonus from ”Ghost Dance” and ”Avoidance Acceleration,” her agility attribute fell below a thousand.

Having just taken frostbite medicine, Yang Yu didn’t need to worry about frostbite for the moment and could fully utilize his speed that was over a thousand.

Aslit’s previous attack was fast, but Yang Yu wasn’t too slow to keep up.

Now the situation was reversed; could Aslit keep up with him?

”This time, it’s my turn to attack.”

Yang Yu’s voice rose like a phantom, swaying his body as he executed a frontal cleave toward Aslit.

Raising her long sword to barely block Yang Yu’s sword, Aslit could feel the retreating heat in her hand, causing her fingers to gradually stiffen.

A cool breeze on her back also made Aslit’s speed even slower.

The winter cold of Sailuomen Plain was different from other places; most of the body exposed to the air would not feel warm when moving, but instead, it intensified the sensation of coldness on the body.

If it were a normal season, a normal man facing off against her, even if he tore her clothing to shreds, she was confident she could battle him for three hundred rounds.

If he hadn’t employed such despicable tactics, she absolutely could have defeated him!

As long as she could defeat him, she definitely could defeat that guy too!

The image of a girl, not much different from herself, flashed in Aslit’s mind; she temporarily overlaid the girl’s image with Yang Yu’s.

But Yang Yu’s disorganized swordsmanship quickly dragged Aslit back to reality.

If it were her sister, the outcome would have been decided in that instant, rather than continuing to attack here.

At last, Aslit realized the huge difference in strength between them.

But, it was too late for regrets.

Even if Yang Yu’s strength was much smaller than she had imagined, even small injuries could accumulate.

She needed to find her team and have a Priest perform Healing on her to remove the frostbite status and turn the tide.

Aslit’s gaze followed Yang Yu’s sword blade, predicting the direction of his swing, she threw out her sword blade and a crisp clash of metal sounded once again.

Yang Yu was knocked back several meters, and Aslit turned to use ”Wind-breaking Flow. Wind-stepping” towards her team, quickly distancing herself from Yang Yu.

However, what was the Luo Ze Army without Aslit going to do against a number of Beastman Soldiers more than half of their own, and the Luo Ze Elite, having lost Aslit, how would they face the well-trained Wansheng Country Elite who could employ divide and conquer tactics?
