Chapter 712: Chapter 712 – Man in Black VS Man in Black
Chapter 712: Man in Black VS Man in Black
Happy did not hear the mysterious man in black’s arrogant words from before, or else, he would definitely say that he was a martial arts maniac .
But when the people at the port saw that the second masked man in black seemed to have agreed to the mysterious man in black’s suggestion, they immediately became excited .
Their identities might be mysterious and unknown to them, but the mysterious man in black had an ingenious way of using his skills, had great strength, and his control over everything around him had reached transcendence, and the elites from Class One Hall as well as Towering Palace had personally witnessed his strength . He was among the top-class fighters in the game, and he might not even be inferior to Happy and One Emperor .
As for the second strange man in black who appeared at the port, his strength also seemed to be unfathomable .
Due to their veils, black shirts, and black pants, their duel seemed even more mysterious, and it gave endless room for imagination along with high expectations .
Immediately, everyone temporarily forgot about the treasure chests on the transportation boats and paid attention to the duo while they waited for them to fight .
“Attack . ”
The mysterious man in black’s voice was as hoarse as usual . No one knew whether it was real or fake, but when Happy brought out a third-echelon masterpiece that looked like water, his eyes lit up .
Happy took the initiative to attack . He smoothly and orderly flung out a cold sword glare while looking nonchalant . “Are you fighting or not? If not, I’m leaving . ”
His tone made him sound like a rascal .
The mysterious man in black frowned .
He had thought that if he could have this person take the initiative to attack, he could read his thoughts, and he could make preparations as well as come up with strategies to deal with him beforehand . He did not expect that this person would be a veteran . He did not give him any chance to prepare at all .
The battle beyond the port had already ended, and the riverbank was full of people!
The mysterious man in black gritted his teeth and attacked .
The style and momentum of a grandmaster surged up from his palms and turned into an invisible pressure that enveloped the port, but he seemed to be moving at a calm pace .

“Just who is he? Why have I never heard of someone like this in the game before?”
Dream Clouds could not come up with an answer no matter how hard she thought about it . She stood behind the mysterious man in black and could clearly sense the pressure from him .
“That’s right . When the Twin Demons appeared in the public eye, they had already done a series of quests, which is why they entered our sights long before they rose to the Phoenix and Dragon Ranks . This person’s strength and technique are both very strange . ”
“Stop making wild guesses . Let’s just continue watching, and we might come up with some discoveries . ”
As they discussed with each other, the mysterious man in black had already walked slowly to the area sixteen feet away from the second man in black .
To any Life and Death Realm martial artist, sixteen feet was the best distance to launch any attack, but what surprised the crowd was that the two men in black did not do anything .
They just stared at each other .
Their breathing was incredibly stable and even . They stared ahead as if they were focusing on nothing in particular . It seemed like they had entered a very profound state .
And because of this, the stern expression on their faces became even more prominent .
As the distance between them drew closer, an invisible qi wave stirred up the dust at the port and made their sleeves flutter .
The atmosphere was bleak and somber!
“What are they doing? Why aren’t they attacking even when they’re so close to each other?”
“Shut up!”
Both men in black attacked at the same time .
When the duo was less than nine feet away from each other, the mysterious man in black stomped against the ground with one foot .
During that instant, Happy’s Nine Yang Divine Skill could clearly sense a hidden force silently rushing at him . It was incredibly obscure .
His eyes lit up!
‘A tremor?’
Happy did not dare to be inattentive . The longsword in his hands suddenly shone with an astonishing silver light, and it was like a bright, white, and round moon . It was so sharp that it tore through the ground and left behind a deep, sword-shaped trench .
The hidden force that came toward him from under his feet was instantly torn, and the remaining momentum of the sword shot out of the ground .

The mysterious man in black also reacted very quickly . He avoided the sword glare that resembled the moon, but did not retreat . Instead, he advanced and attacked with one hand . His momentum was filled with an aggressive pressure .
But when it came to seizing the initiative to attack, Happy had never been afraid of anyone .
Causing tremors in the ground was a battle strategy used during high-end fights between players during Happy’s third year in the game in his previous life . Now, it was executed by a mysterious man in black, and it instantly stirred up a lot of interest from Happy .
His desire for victory rose, and he did not back down . Without waiting for his sword momentum to come to an end, he pointed forward with his left hand, and with a technique from Bright Sword Technique, he tapped the air in front of him .
Bright Sword Technique!
Even though the power of finger techniques in comparison to swords was slightly inferior, the finger strike required a lot of attention to detail, and it was just in time to face the palm strike that came from the mysterious man in black .
The pupils of the man in black shrank!
If the finger strike landed on his body, while it would not cause any severe damage and he would be able to block it once he activated his body fortification, neither of the parties had yet activated their body fortifications . Whoever did it first would be at lower ground .
The fight between elites would at times be determined by the depletion of strength in terms of details, and sometimes, it would be like a gamble between players . Whoever revealed all their cards first would lose!
The mysterious man in black instantly sank into danger . He pulled back resolutely, stopped moving, and flew up to quickly turn around . Then, he used his limbs to instantly fire a dense wave of leg shadows and fist shadows . He was so fast that it dazzled the people watching them .
Happy also frowned because of the sudden change in the offense .
Whoosh!
He took half a step back like a phantom before he turned around and thrust forward . His sword moved like water in autumn, and it quickly shot between the aggressive leg shadows!
Ting!
The dazzling offense instantly scattered and vanished .
But Happy did not take another step . His sword shuddered, and a huge force traveled to his purlicue from his sword . His momentum was instantly broken .
They moved back at the same time, as if they had been shocked by electricity .
“I see, so you’re someone from the same line . ” The brief contact caused the duo to have a deeper understanding of each other . The mysterious man in black cast a glance at Happy’s veiled face before he said solemnly, “Sir, you’re using a sword technique that is commonly seen in the game . It makes it easy for me to defeat it, while it won’t be easy for you to defeat me with it . ”
Even though he had just entered the game, he had a history in martial arts, and he could easily remember most of the techniques in the game after he saw them once . He could recognize on the spot that the skill the man in black before him used was the rather common Bright Sword Technique and Flying Dragon Sword Technique .
His body movement was also the rather common Phantasmal Body Movement Skill . Most of the martial artists in the game practiced it, which made it very difficult for him to judge the person’s real identity .
Happy elegantly brandished his sword .
“Sir, your Heaven’s Leg Breaker might be pretty good, but I believe that it is not your best martial art either . You also did not activate your qi realm and your body fortification, so are you thinking of forcing me to use all my strength like that? Don’t you think you’re not being very sincere?”
Their dialogue was very casual and held no hostility, but when the people inside and beyond the port heard it, they felt like their words were as loud as a thunderclap .
The fight that dazzled the people’s eyes was filled with danger and killing intent . There were plenty of moments that they could not even see well, and yet the duo stated that they had not used their full strength!
It was too much!

Welcome to the world of Fantasiaia, a world full of magic, epic monsters, heroic battles and more! It's the new, cutting edge VRMMORPG world what everyone has dreamed about! And now welcome Markus Fickus, your average young man in our average and boring world! He was just an ordinary man, until one day, something changed his whole life. As he ate his breakfast on that fateful morning, little did he know that he would choke on his coffee and die—just to be reincarnated in the world of Fantasiaia! "Wait, what?" Mark said, looking up from his bowl of cereal. He didn't follow the script properly, and forgot to prepare his coffee. "I thought Fantasiaia was a VRMMO," Mark muttered as he made his way to his coffee machine. "How can someone reincarnate into a game?" Of course, what Mark didn't know was that logic and reason didn't matter. It was magic! Besides, everyone loves virtual reality stories and reincarnation novels. So why not have both? Mark shook his head sadly, but prepared his coffee in silence. When he finished, he looked up at the sky—and saw only the dull white ceiling of his apartment. He felt utterly cheated that the last thing he would see in this world was the peeling paint on the wall. "They are not paying me enough for this," Mark grumbled, then drank up his coffee. And then he died. PS: I found the cover picture on THE INTERNET. By no means will I tell you the artist's name or give any credit to them, but I let you know that the image is not mine.
