“I’m willing to bet that Oliver accepted the challenge with the expectation that he would be able to squash Fane within a few moves. However, lo and behold, Fane managed to dodge both of his attacks, so it is no wonder that he would hate him so much.”
This man’s explanation sounded reasonable, and everyone around him nodded. He was indeed right. Oliver’s hatred for Fane was totally out of this world. He really thought that he would be able to end the battle with just one move; he did not expect Fane to be this slippery.
Oliver sneered, and said, “Is that all you can do? You can dodge all you want but it will not change a thing! I was holding back just now so don’t even think that my speed is limited to this!”
Immediately, he shot out like a cannonball toward Fane. The ball of light shone brilliantly in his hand, and with a few swishes, five-light blades flew out again, rushing toward Fane with a murderous aura.
Fane arched his brow then raised it. He knew that Oliver did not unleash his full power in the first two moves. Why would he when in his eyes, Fane was no better than trash at the side of the road? As the saying goes—take not a musket to kill a butterfly.
“Oliver’s attack speed has doubled!” shouted someone.
Everyone's eyes widened, trying to keep up with the light blades’ movement. The speed was indeed twice as fast as before. There was no way Fane could dodge it this time!
These light blades rushed toward Fane like meteors. He took a deep breath, and his feet kept moving back with the laws of space, pulling him away from the light blades.
However, he did not use the laws of space perfectly every time. Once he wrongly took half, and a light blade instantly slashed against his cheeks. Fortunately, he managed to avoid most of the damage with his fast reaction.
Even so, his sideburns did not fare so well. His fallen hair was blown into the air by the strong wind brought by the light blade. With another swish, the fallen hair was chopped by another light blade and instantly burned to ashes by the hot energy mixed with the light blade.
