Willis tilted his head and used the corner of his eye to observe the battle situation between the two armies.
After the Huaxia army obtained the National Soul, their strength greatly increased. Especially the greatly boosted chance of critical hits, which made the Huaxia army even more dangerous.
Turning back, Willis sneered coldly at Jiang Kai.
"Jiang Kai, you really have caused us some trouble. Originally, our casualties shouldn't have been this high."
As he spoke, Willis retracted his shield, switching his left hand to another longsword.
He spun both blades at once, the twin swords making a dazzling flourish in his hands.
"But this still doesn't change the outcome of your Huaxia defeat. Jiang Kai, as respect for you, I will let you die with dignity."
"Patron change — Death Knight!"
Ouyang Yi's commentary continued.
"Willis has switched patrons again. Who knows how many patrons he actually has! This time his patron has become the Death Knight — looks like he's about to unleash a killing move!"
"Up until now, Jiang Kai still hasn't found Willis's weakness. This guy has reached heights in every aspect that ordinary people can't even dream of! Right now Jiang Kai's situation is extremely dangerous. Can he really win?"
"The final showdown, how will it end… Hey, Old Zhang, tell the military to allocate me another 100 contribution points. I didn't expect this battle to be this tough. They won't find a commentator better than me!"
Over in Huaxia's main city, Ouyang Yi's broadcast was being relayed by his buddy Old Zhang — and even Ouyang Yi's last words slipped out.
When Old Zhang realized this, it was already too late…
Luo Xun frowned. "This Ouyang Yi… Agree to his request, let him give a more detailed commentary!"
After earning another 100 contribution points, Ouyang Yi got even more fired up.
"Willis is radiating a strange black mist all over his body. Even though we're only at the edge of the battlefield, we can feel the chill straight into the depths of our souls — a breath of death! From my observation, this should be a kind of attack method similar to Huaxia's qi force."
"Only, is this Willis's own method, or that Death Knight's?"
"Willis is moving! His speed is too fast — in an instant he's already at Jiang Kai's side! Jiang Kai's speed is still half a beat slower. That black mist seems to cause sluggish movement and lowered defense. Willis is dual-wielding swords, launching a frenzy of attacks on Jiang Kai. His moves are unpredictable, and every strike is aimed at Jiang Kai's vital points…"
Beside him, Hu Yan couldn't help glancing at Ouyang Yi — this guy's speed of speech was insane!
Still, his focus stayed fixed on the battle between Willis and Jiang Kai.
This time Willis truly meant to kill. Not only had his attack speed surged, but every swing was deadly. With each strike, black mist followed like a shadow, bursting out black qi streams that looked like sword aura!
On Jiang Kai's side, his qi-shield had already been broken, and Purple Lightning Phantom Light couldn't hold off Willis's relentless assault.
Several times Jiang Kai tried to pull distance, but Willis never gave him the chance, chasing relentlessly, forcing Jiang Kai into close combat.
"Jiang Kai, keep being arrogant! Weren't you the one who wanted to take on millions by yourself? How come you can't even beat me alone?"
"I already told you, as long as I'm here, all the rest of you can only be supporting characters!"
"Cross of Death Sword!" Willis seized the timing and suddenly activated his skill.
His twin swords formed a cross and slashed down hard.
Jiang Kai quickly retreated.
But the twin swords slashed out a cross-shaped black sword aura, instantly shooting forward.
Jiang Kai already found it hard enough to dodge Willis's direct strikes, let alone when they came with black qi attacks.
In a blink, the black cross pierced straight through Jiang Kai's body!
Jiang Kai's form scattered into points of light.
Seeing this, Zhang Xuan, Wang Xusheng, and the others were so tense they forgot to breathe.
"Jiang Kai only has one Life-as-Play left!"
Back during the Trial of the God of War, Jiang Kai had revealed this skill once. The other Huaxia people knew that Jiang Kai seemed to have one more pseudo-death ability.
Those light particles quickly gathered back into human form. Jiang Kai, badly wounded, immediately launched his final counterattack.
"Moonlit Immortal Trace Sword!"
Willis, who was so focused on Jiang Kai, naturally also knew of Jiang Kai's Life-as-Play. Seeing Jiang Kai charging, he sneered.
"Give it up. Before me, you have no chance!"
At the same moment, Willis didn't even plan to dodge. He roared angrily:
"Sword of the Reaper!"
Neither yielded — they struck at once!
With a booming explosion, a massive burst of energy erupted between them. In the next instant, Willis's two swords — one knocked Jiang Kai's Purple Lightning Phantom Light flying, the other stabbed straight into Jiang Kai's chest!
The Huaxia crowd stared wide-eyed at this scene, utterly shocked.
No doubt, this time it wasn't just a decoy! Blood dripped down from the tip of the longsword.
"Jiang Kai, die!" Willis shoved the sword deeper, then raised his left-hand sword high and thrust it straight into Jiang Kai's head!
"Hahahahaha! Jiang Kai, you're no match for me!" Willis's face twisted hideously as he laughed wildly. "I am the true limit of mortals!"
But right at that moment, behind Willis, a shadow flickered into view.
The figure shouted low:
"Moonlit Immortal Trace Sword!"
The Purple Lightning Phantom Light pierced half a meter behind Willis.
At once, everyone saw the face of the ambusher.
Jiang Kai?!
Clearly, the Jiang Kai Willis had just killed couldn't have been a substitute. But then why hadn't that Jiang Kai's body yet dispersed, while another Jiang Kai appeared behind him?
Ouyang Yi was at a loss, stumbling over his words.
"Just now Jiang Kai was run through by Willis's two swords, but before his body could disperse, suddenly someone launched a sneak attack from behind Willis! Wait… the one who attacked was… a second Jiang Kai?!"
"Everyone knows Jiang Kai's substitute can't attack. But both of these Jiang Kais clearly can…"
"Could it be a clone? Jiang Kai has a clone skill? No, both of them feel alive and real, not some illusionary doppelgänger! Don't tell me Jiang Kai has a twin brother?"
Old Zhang quickly sent a message:
"Don't speculate! Just report what's happening!"
Ouyang Yi hurriedly said, "The situation is complicated. The second Jiang Kai's sneak attack left Willis no time to use Express Delivery. But even though his opponent didn't dodge at all, the second Jiang Kai's strike didn't land on Willis… Wait, what's happening?!"
"Jiang Kai's strike clearly landed on empty air — but that air… actually bled!"
At the battlefield, everyone watching was left utterly speechless in shock.
Jiang Kai's sword pierced half a meter behind Willis. Though it seemed to strike empty air, the blade felt like it stabbed into something invisible.
From that air, a gush of blood poured out.
Soon, the blood faintly outlined the shape of a human body.
Willis, in his Death Knight state, exploded into a cloud of black mist and vanished!
Then, at the tip of Jiang Kai's longsword, a figure emerged.
At that moment, he was gripping Jiang Kai's Purple Lightning Phantom Light with both hands, desperately trying to stop the blade from driving deeper into his body.
But Jiang Kai's sword had already run him through the chest.
Head raised, eyes wide with disbelief, he looked at Jiang Kai.
"You…"
Jiang Kai sneered.
"Mr. Postman, sorry. In your story, the supporting role counterkilled the protagonist."
