Chapter 639, Do You Think I Only Know Close Combat?
Translator: Silavin
“The person you’re looking for?” Lu Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that there were indeed many hidden secrets about Murong Sheng.
This further aroused Lu Fan’s competitive spirit, however, this time, Lu Fan did not act rashly. After all, he had accidentally killed Murong Sheng just now, which left Lu Fan with some lingering fear.
This place was ultimately not the Undying Reincarnation Lake, so what would happen if he accidentally killed him again?
Therefore, Lu Fan did not immediately take action, but said. “Continuing to fight is not a problem, but I’m afraid I might kill you again. Your corpse would not be able to tell me why you wanted to fight me in the first place. How about we go to the Undying Reincarnation Lake to fight? That way, I won’t have to worry too much.”
Murong Sheng shook his head and smiled. “No need. I was careless just now, which is why I got killed. Next time, if you want to kill me, it won’t be so easy. In regard to my own life, you don’t need to worry about it.”
As he spoke, Murong Sheng took out a stone emitting milky white light from his Inventory and continued. “I still have a Resurrection Stone. Even if you accidentally kill me again, it doesn’t matter. Next, I will fight you with my full strength, so you shouldn’t hold back either. Just attack me with all your might.”
“Since that’s the case, then I can rest assured.” Lu Fan grinned with his mind at ease.
Murong Sheng nodded, his expression gradually becoming solemn. At the same time, within his body, starlight flickered as his Attributes rapidly surged at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Starlight overflowed from within his body, gathering into patches that resembled nebulas, slowly swirling around him.
Murong Sheng opened his palms, with a star forming in each palm, containing terrifying explosive power within them.
[Shatter Star? It does look similar, but it isn’t quite the same. Probably another Low Grade version of it.]
Although most of the Skills Murong Sheng used were Low Grade versions of what Dragons used, they were extremely domineering Players.
The more Lu Fan fought with Murong Sheng, the more he discovered that all of Murong Sheng’s Profession Characteristics were inseparably related to the Starry Sky Dragon Clan!
Since he possessed part of a Dragon’s power, Lu Fan indeed could not underestimate him.
Moreover, since his opponent still had a Resurrection Stone, Lu Fan did not need to worry about his opponent’s life and could go all out.
“I’m coming!” Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, spread his Bone Wings behind his back, transforming his body into an afterimage as he attacked Murong Sheng.
Having experienced being killed once, Murong Sheng was obviously more careful and cautious.
Facing Lu Fan’s approach, he chose not to fight Lu Fan head-on, but instead retreated backwards.
With each step he took backwards, a cluster of stars would appear beneath his feet.
This cluster would instantly carry Murong Sheng backwards for several hundred metres, so although Murong Sheng’s movement was not particularly fast, his retreat was far from slow. Even with Lu Fan and his Bone Wings, he could not close the distance between them for a moment.
Not only that, Murong Sheng also continuously controlled stars to attack Lu Fan, weakening Lu Fan’s charge.
Lu Fan continuously swung his chain hooks, smashing each of these attacking stars one by one.
The two had only just begun fighting, but they had already stunned Li Qingfeng and Yuan Jingang, who were still being Crowd Controlled by Murong Sheng.
Between Lu Fan and Murong Sheng, whether it was speed or the power of their Skills, both far exceeded their imagination.
If they were to participate in a battle of this level, they would probably be blasted to smithereens within seconds. These two were absolutely in a league of their own amongst all Players in the God’s Tomb Secret Realm!
In the blink of an eye, the two had already moved the battlefield ten kilometres away.
Throughout the entire chase, both of their fighting styles were made clear.
Murong Sheng relied on the Power of the Stars to maintain his distance from Lu Fan, not engaging in direct confrontation with him.
Meanwhile, Lu Fan wanted to engage in close combat with Murong Sheng, using his chain hooks and Blade Armour to kill his enemy.
The two had different strengths, which resulted in the battle starting with Murong Sheng being chased by Lu Fan, but not gaining much of an advantage.
Murong Sheng only knew how to run, which naturally infuriated Lu Fan.
“Do you think I only have close combat Skills!?” Lu Fan coldly shouted, then opened his mouth.
Above his head, the phantom manifestation of a Frost Dragon immediately appeared, roaring at Murong Sheng.
Murong Sheng was startled and quickly waved his stars, positioning them to block in front of himself.
Unfortunately, Lu Fan’s movements were faster. The Frost Dragon manifestation releases its Dragon Breath, instantly enveloping Murong Sheng!
Along with Murong Sheng and the stars around him, everything was covered in ice in an instant.
With Murong Sheng Crowd Controlled, Lu Fan did not waste the opportunity and almost instantly killed his way to Murong Sheng’s front.
Subsequently, Lu Fan’s Blade Armour showed no mercy, slashing towards Murong Sheng’s neck, intending to sever his head.
Just then, the ice layer on Murong Sheng’s body shattered with a *crack*, and starlight began surging again.
Breaking free from the Crowd Control, Murong Sheng saw that Lu Fan’s Blade Armour had already arrived. He could not afford to continue retreating, so he raised his hand and used the massive star in his palm to block in front of himself.
Murong Sheng had two stars in his hands.
One was used to block Lu Fan’s Blade Armour. The other was thrown out by him, smashing towards Lu Fan’s face.
Seeing that his opponent could instantly break free from his Crowd Control and counterattack, Lu Fan realised that Murong Sheng was far more than meets the eye.
[He does not have a simple Mage Type Hidden Profession. His close combat skills cannot be underestimated. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to counterattack so quickly.]
Lu Fan was not flustered though. After slashing one Blade Armour at Murong Sheng’s star, a chain hook from behind his back followed up, striking right at the star that Murong Sheng was using for his counterattack.
Immediately, both stars exploded simultaneously. Its massive power burst open, causing Lu Fan’s body to be blasted backwards.
Just as Lu Fan had expected, this Skill was identical to Xing Chen’s Shatter Star, except that its power was inferior to Xing Chen’s authentic Shatter Star.
The force generated by the explosion of the two stars sent Lu Fan and Murong Sheng flying in opposite directions. Seeing this, Murong Sheng was delighted, thinking he could once again distance himself from Lu Fan.
He knew that Lu Fan’s was far too strong at close combat, and he might not be his match, so attacking Lu Fan from a distance was the best tactic.
As long as he was careful of Lu Fan’s Dragon Language Magic, he would be able to control the situation and beat him.
However, although Murong Sheng’s plan was good in theory, it failed in practice. The very next second, his heart suddenly sank.
