1093 Who’s the Hunter?
Alan Smith smiled faintly and said, “Who was the prey, and who was the hunter? Anton Mellon seemed to be approaching, about to assassinate Liu Yan, but he was also waiting for him to get close and then fight him.”
Murong Xue said, “Haha, there was someone who dared to fight Liu Yan in close combat. He overestimated himself!”
“This Anton Mellon was very strong, but if he had been in a long-range class, he might have had a chance to defeat Liu Yan. Since he was a melee class, there was no chance at all.”
Luo Wei remarked, “Interesting. There was someone who wanted to assassinate Liu Yan. There was going to be a good show!”
Lu Dajiang and the others heard the conversation between Ye Yifan and Murong Xue. Only then did they realize that although Liu Yan’s long-range attacks were very strong, it seemed that Liu Yan’s close-combat abilities were even more terrifying.
After learning this, Lu Dajiang and the others heaved a sigh of relief and continued to watch the battle curiously.
On the other side, the elves were confused.
“What’s wrong with this Liu Yan? Why was he standing there in a daze and even putting away his weapon?”
“At that time, the archers should have quickly pulled away. How stupid!”
“How did he pull away? He didn’t even know where Anton Mellon was, so he couldn’t pull away!”
“This Liu Yan’s strength was quite strong, but he was still a newbie and didn’t have much combat experience.”
“It seemed that if the captain could win this battle, they could win this territory battle!”
The Team Elf looked very good. They thought Liu Yan was scared and silly and didn’t know how to deal with it. He was waiting to be defeated by Anton Mellon and end this territory battle!
At the same time, the battle in the arena continued.
Anton Mellon maintained his stealth state and quickly approached Liu Yan.
At first, Anton Mellon’s speed was very fast, but after discovering Liu Yan’s strange movements, he suddenly became vigilant.
When ordinary Awakened saw this scene, they would rush over and attack immediately.
However, Anton Mellon had been within the Wind Barrier on the sixth level of the tower for many years. He had experienced all kinds of big and small battles, so his combat experience was naturally rich.
The current situation was not right.
Even though Liu Yan was a newbie and did not have much combat experience, he had more or less experienced many battles and still had some combat experience.
Even if he couldn’t make the right choice, at least he wouldn’t make the wrong choice.
The scene in front of him made Anton Mellon understand that either Liu Yan was too stupid or there was a trick!
Anton Mellon, who had seen Liu Yan fight before, naturally didn’t think that Liu Yan was stupid. He immediately realized that there was a trick.
Suddenly, Anton Mellon slowed down and slowly approached Liu Yan.
Anton Mellon observed Liu Yan while slowly approaching.
But after some observation, Anton Mellon didn’t find anything.
Anton Mellon hesitated. The situation in front of him made him feel that something was wrong. He felt that there must have been a trick.
However, Anton Mellon’s fighting style required close combat to be fully effective.
Not to mention that Liu Yan was still a newcomer. Anton Mellon’s pride didn’t allow him to be so cautious.
After hesitating, Anton Mellon continued to slowly approach Liu Yan.
At the same time, Liu Yan also noticed that Anton Mellon’s speed was much slower.
Liu Yan suddenly understood that it seemed like his performance had been too foolish and artificial, which had aroused Anton Mellon’s vigilance.
However, Liu Yan didn’t care. After all, he was proficient in both melee and long-range combat. If Anton Mellon was willing to engage in close combat, Liu Yan was ready.
If Anton Mellon chose not to engage in close combat, Liu Yan could simply retrieve his S-grade weapon, the Flying Cloud Mystic Bow, and eliminate him from a distance.
Sensing that Anton Mellon was still advancing, Liu Yan also decided to make a move.
However, Liu Yan had two options. One was to draw his S-grade weapon, the Blade of The Night, and engage in an assassin-to-assassin battle with Anton Mellon in the same domain.
There was another option where Liu Yan could use his SS-grade weapon, the Blue Flame Gloves, and employ the fighting style of a warrior to combat the Assassin Anton Mellon.
In terms of the likelihood of victory, warriors had a natural advantage.
Warriors could both attack and defend, making them, in a sense, the natural counter to the Assassin profession.
At this moment, Liu Yan could easily defeat Anton Mellon with his SS-grade weapon, the Blue Flame Gloves.
However, Liu Yan didn’t dwell on it. He planned to begin the battle with Anton Mellon using the S-grade weapon, the Blade of The Night.
The main reason for this choice was that the assassin profession was quite rare.
Usually, awakened Assassins rarely encountered such a thing, and even fewer powerful Assassins.
This time, it was rare to encounter such a strong Assassin with a 22-star combat strength. Liu Yan felt that it was very rare. Naturally, he wanted to seize the opportunity and have a good spar!
Liu Yan also wanted to see how his assassination ability was at that moment. Compared to a top Assassin like Anton Mellon, who was weaker and who was stronger!
Facing Anton Mellon, who was gradually approaching, Liu Yan didn’t make any movements and waited quietly.
At that moment, Liu Yan was not only Anton Mellon’s prey but also the hunter. He was waiting for Anton Mellon to take the bait and for him to be hunted down!
Anton Mellon, who was invisible, also understood this point.
That’s why Anton Mellon was very careful and slowly approached.
Ultimately, who was the hunter and who was the prey depended on their performance.
But Anton Mellon was confident that as long as he was at a certain distance, he would have the advantage.
After all, Anton Mellon was invisible and could launch a surprise attack first.
After a while, Anton Mellon got close enough and launched a surprise attack on Liu Yan.
Liu Yan was waiting at the same place. Although he couldn’t use his S-grade perception skill, Omniscient Insight to perceive the exact location of Anton Mellon, he was still waiting for him.
However, Liu Yan relied on his SS-grade skill, Extraordinary Five Senses, to sense the approximate location of Anton Mellon.
The distance between the two of them was already very close, only a few dozen meters.
For Liu Yan and Anton Mellon, this distance was just a matter of a moment. It was already close to the battle!
In an instant, Liu Yan sensed the arrival of killing intent.
Although he didn’t know what Anton Mellon was going to do, Liu Yan was also an Assassin. He naturally understood the Assassin’s fighting style and directly predicted Anton Mellon’s surprise attack.
Liu Yan immediately activated his A-grade skill, Leap Technique!
Suddenly, a shadow appeared behind Liu Yan. It was Anton Mellon with a dagger in his hand, launching a surprise attack on Liu Yan.
Anton Mellon’s dagger went straight for Liu Yan’s shoulder.
But unexpectedly, Anton Mellon’s dagger easily pierced into the shadow, and then the shadow disappeared.
It turned out that Liu Yan’s speed was too fast, so it was Liu Yan’s phantom.
Liu Yan was in the moment when Anton Mellon launched a surprise attack. He successfully launched the A-grade skill, Leap Technique, and realized teleportation.
