    Lu Fan could at least kill 2,000 yers before he himself go down, but right now, someone blocked his path that is almost as powerful as he is.


    Heilong, real name Ling Xie, the main descendant of the Ling Family. Ling Family is a national leading martial arts family that kept their heritage together with evolving through time, owning one of the greatest bank of China, the Golden Heritage Bank.


    If people are only basing the oue of the fight, surely, they can only see that Lu Fan always have the upper hand, but what is actually the difference between the two?


    In terms of fighting power and strategies in fighting one on one, Lu Fan is leading against Heilong by a huge margin, the reason for that? Well, ever since at the tender age of 9, Lu Fan had always fought with the neighborhood bullies, by the time that he reached the age of 15, Lu Fan is already fighting the neighborhood thugs and even school thugs altogether. His basic fighting experience and survival instinct had almost reached 70% from perfection.


    While Heilong, raised with a golden spoon were thought the perfection of skills in martial arts, if ites to martial skills, he''s leading against Lu Fan with a huge margin, he''s even surpassed his master and had almost perfected their martial art up to 85% inpletion.


    But still, the fight between them is tooplicated, it''s like a swordsman with masterful skills against a wild swordsman that''s relying upon 30% martial arts and 70% instincts.


    The fight between the two of them is extremely intense!


    "Bloody Piercer!"


    A quick yet deadly strike rushes towards Heilong''s chest, but at this moment, something that Lu Fan had never seen before happens.


    Instead of a piercing sound, it became that of a metal hitting the water, Lu Fan''s spear also looks like it''s trajectory changed.


    "Shocked?" Heilong spoke with a smile stered on his face: "Let me show you, the strength of my 3rd seal!"


    Name: Heilong


    ss: ck Dragon Knight (3rd Seal unlocked -ck Moon Dragon Knight-)


    "3rd Seal!"


    Heilong howls as one of his dual sword''s tip slowly change like that of a crescent moon looking upward and the other one with its tip the same but the crescent moon is looking downward.


    Lu Fan is quite shocked and immediately tries to pull his spear back, but Heilong''s sword with a crescent moon looking downward caught it immediately.


    "Moon''s Blythe!"


    Lu Fan is quite awed at what happened.


    *You have been affected by the skill ''Moon''s Blythe'' your left arm will enter a paralyzed state for 30 seconds.*


    "That''s one hell of an ability there." Lu Fan smiles as he jumps a few meters away.


    Heilong chuckles but immediately follows up: "Don''t get me wrong, but I won''t be letter these 30 seconds go to waste!"


    Heilong follows up with his 2nd and 3rd skills.


    "Lunar m, Howling Moon strike,bine!"


    Two strikes from Heilong, one from above and one from below, it''s like a wolf''s fangs targeting Lu Fan unpredictably.


    Instead of trying to block, Lu Fan uses his weapon''s length advantage and with a pierce, Lu Fan almost caught Heilong, but another skill is howled.


    "Mirage of the Great Moon Goddess!"


    Heilong shouts a very long skill, but immediately, three shadows appeared around Lu Fan mirroring what Heilong is doing as all of them started circling around Lu Fan exchanging from ces to ces.


    "Illusions?!" Lu Fan looking in all direction as he waits for Heilong to attack.


    "Right, these are illusions, good luck in finding me!" Both the illusions and Heilong spoke together in unison.


    "Unlike your ss, mine can use all of my skills, and with the power of the lunar''s blessing, I canbine two skills if it''s appropriate!"


    10 seconds had passed, both Heilong and Lu Fan are keeping track of time. and at the 12th-second mark, Heilong made his move.


    "Draconic Charge, Mowing Pierce! Combine!"


    Heilong and his shadows'' weapons are currently having a rotation in one of their weapon as a dragon slowly coiling around it and the other weapon has a few small debris and wind circling it.


    Four of shadows immediately dashes forward towards Lu Fan, surrounding him from all directions, but Lu Fan is no oaf.


    Lu Fan watches the four simultaneously, but there''s still 11 seconds left before his arm''s senses goes normal, but he couldn''t really see the difference between Heilong and his shadow.


    Just a few inches left before Heilong reaches Lu Fan, thetter immediately ducks and the spear on his hand made a circling motion, a very wide swipe urs, one... two... shadows were hit, but when the 3rd one is about to get hit, Heilong spoke again.


    "Toote!"


    The two Heilong from Lu Fan''s back and rear simultaneously increase their phase, but in the split second, the two images backed out.


    Why? Lu Fan kicked the spear backward, making its return heavier than his sh as Lu Fan used the spear''s momentum to stand up quite awesomely.


    Yuemin saw this and howls: "That''s my boyfriend! GO AND KILL HIM, BABE!"


    But after just shouting like that, her face immediately blushes red as a ripped apple and immediately return to her station after scouting the surrounding to resume their attack on the southern wall.


    Lu Fan and Heilong maintained their distance from one another, both of them heard Yuemin as they chuckle.


    Heilong: "It seems your girlfriend just used an incredible buff on you."


    Lu Fanughed softly: "Yeah, I think it''s super effective though."


    Heilong nods: "Then I guess I should prepare myself."


    Lu Fan nods too: "Yeah, but I''m warning you, the same trick won''t work on my twice!"


    Heilong chuckles: "I know."


    As soon as Heilong spoke of those words, he immediately used another skill.


    "Shadow Dance!"


    Heilong''s bodypletely vanishes, melding with his surroundings,pletely untraceable.


    Lu Fan had no way of countering it, three seconds until Lu Fan''s paralyzed arm goes normal... two seconds... one... zero...


    Lu Fan lifts his left and with his spear checking for any unforeseen side effects while keeping his rightpletely guarded.


    Heilong saw this opportunity; ''An opening!''


    A mad rush came for Lu Fan with Heilong actively piercing swords.


    A flesh getting pierced sounded as Lu Fan''s armor can be seen with a huge hole and his bodypletely pierced through with Heilong''s sword.


    -49,924 HP!! (Fatal!)


    "Got-" Heilong was about to say ''Got you'' but before he could, Lu Fan spoke of it too.


    "Got you!" Lu Fan spoke as he lowers his left hand immediately and caught the de and his right arm preparing to strike.


    "Blood Dragon''s w!"


    Lu Fan howls as he held his spear in the middle of it and directly aimed its trajectory towards Heilong''s face.


    -102,711 HP!! (Fatal!)


    With a piercing sword, Heilong was wounded immediately as he lets go of his right weapon and took a few steps back.


    Lu Fan looks at Heilong and spoke: "Your ss seemed to be turning into that of an assassin, looking at an opening became your point of view eh?"


    Heilong chuckles as he shook his head: "I got careless indeed."


    Heilong''s HP dropped down by more than half.


    HP: (72,915/235,991)


    The two of them had been chipping away each other''s health, but this exchange was their most dangerous out of all of them.


    Heilong: "Getting hit by another one of those in a fatal spot will be extremely dangerous."


    Lu Fan chuckles: "You better not get hit again then, your body armors are really heavy, but you have a light armor helmet, an easy target for me."


    Heilong nods: "Well, unlike your full-bodied heavy grey armor suit, mine ispletely not rted to ss, I''m even wondering how can you actually move agilely in those heavy things."


    Lu Fanughs light: "Training and exercise."


    Heilong chuckles: "D*mn it, then more for me I guess."


    The two of them immediately resumes their sh.


    "Shadow Mimicry! Quintuple shing Strikes!"


    -1,915 HP!


    -2,151 HP!


    Miss!


    Miss!


    -3,814 HP!!


    "Spear Axe stance! Titanic Smash!"


    -12,024 HP! (Blocked!)
