Qiao Yifan's character rolled diagonally and it looked like he had made his way through the empty space beneath the blood cross. His dodge had been extremely dangerous. He had done it because he didn't want to miss the opportunity to attack, while his opponent was still in the Ice Boundary.
Avoiding the Gore Cross, Qiao Yifan's Phantom Demon raised the tip of his sword. He wanted to open another Ghost Boundary in order to seal off his opponent's escape route. Using a successive Ghost Boundary to trap the opponent into a Boundary was a commonly used tactic among Phantom Demons. Qiao Yifan's Ice Boundary surrounded Li Xuan's Sword Demon. He believed that he had had opportunity and began casting another Boundary. But as soon as he began chanting, Li Xuan's Sword Demon suddenly turned around and swung.
The two were quite a distance away from each other and a normal slash definitely wouldn't hit. But after swinging his sword, the ground inside the Ice Boundary suddenly surged like a wave towards Qiao Yifan's Phantom Demon.
Spellblade Skill: Earthquake Sword.
Li Xuan had only put in one point into this low-leveled Spellblade skill. This could be seen from the length of ground that had been swept forward. But it didn't matter, so long as it reached where Qiao Yifan's Phantom Demon was standing.
This time though, Qiao Yifan didn't have a choice. If he was swept away by the Earthquake Sword, then his casting would definitely be interrupted. Helpless, he cancelled his casting and dodged the attack.
From Falling Light Blade to Gore Cross to Earthquake Sword. These low-leveled Blade Master, Berserker, and Spellblade skills had only been ranked up once. They weren't learned for damage, but rather for their effects. By using these three low-leveled skills, Li Xuan's Sword Demon safely escaped from the Ice Boundary, while Qiao Yifan was unable to set up another Boundary to trap his opponent.
Qiao Yifan felt that it was unfortunate. It hadn't been easy to confine his opponent in the Ice Boundary. The Freeze effect had even worked. It had been a great opportunity, but he hadn't been able to seize it.
But PK were always ever-changing. If an opportunity could be fully grasped so easily, then PK would be way too simple. Furthermore, his opponent was a God among Ghostblades. Even though Qiao Yifan felt that it was a pity, he wasn't discouraged. He carefully observed the position of Li Xuan's Sword Demon and rushed forward again.
Li Xuan wasn't alarmed in the slightest, however. With just that single exchange, he fully grasped Qiao Yifan's ability. His performance had been orderly and methodical, but it couldn't be said that he was extremely skilled. Seeing Qiao Yifan rush forward, he didn't hurry. Instead, he casually set up a Sword Boundary.
Qiao Yifan looked and immediately came to a stop. He wouldn't let himself enter his opponent's Boundary. Standing outside the boundary, he began to chant. Purple flames jumped up from his Phantom Demon's blade, congealing into a flaming figure. He had cast a Flame Boundary.
With the ghost out, numerous dark-purple fire ghosts leapt into the area within the boundary. The ghosts scattered around as if they were looking for a target to burn. The Flame Boundary had been cast inside Li Xuan's Sword Boundary. The two Boundaries overlapped. However, Li Xuan's Sword Demon had already jumped backwards and didn't set foot into the Flame Boundary.
Qiao Yifan didn't think that the Flame Boundary would trap his opponent. The Boundary had been cast for his own protection, so he'd be able to enter the opponent's Sword Boundary.
Everything sounded complicated, but in reality, it had all happened within the span of a few seconds. Inside the boundaries, the two moved around extremely quickly. Inside his Flame Boundary, Qiao Yifan's Phantom Demon quickly dashed into Li Xuan's Sword Boundary. But to his surprise, Li Xuan's Sword Demon also suddenly rushed into his area as if he wasn't afraid of the Flame Boundary's damage.
