522 Final Strike
“Master…”
Firey’s expression turned serious. She was worried about Himl Soan.
Although she couldn’t see Himl Soan clearly through the fog, she didn’t think that man would lie about such things. There was no point.
It sounded like Himl Soan was in the worst possible situation.
Himl Soan had used over 70% of his energy. If a cultivator had no spiritual essence left, he would be as defenseless as an ordinary man.
Himl Soan would be at that man’s rcy.
“The battle isn’t over yet. How do you know I’m going to lose?” Himl Soan asked confidently.
Nobody knew why he still hadn’t panicked.
He should have lost all hope, yet he didn’t seem to have noticed it and wasn’t worried about his safety at all.
“Having confidence is a good thing, but overconfidence will make you an egoist, the most foolish of n.”
The man smiled, believing the battle to be over.
Even though Himl Soan hadn’t exhausted his spiritual essence, that man was sure he would win.
The fog had almost turned into a liquid form. In ten more minutes, flowing water would fill the air.
Even if Himl Soan was at his best, he wouldn’t be able to put up a fight when the water trapped him.
The technique was called the Ultimate Water Region and was the man’s deadliest move.
“Are you still not giving up?” The man noticed Himl Soan was running as fast as he could in one direction.
Even now, he was still trying to break out of the fog.
The man threw more fog in Himl Soan’s way than before. He believed the other party could never get out of the fog.
“This battle is over!”
Just then, the man heard Himl Soan’s voice.
He realized in surprise that Himl Soan had disappeared from his sight.
A dagger was pressed against his neck.
It was none other than the divine dagger. Himl Soan had sohow sneaked upon him.
The battle was over. The man lost. He lost the battle the mont Himl Soan put the dagger on his neck.
He could try to dodge, but no matter how fast he moved, he couldn’t be faster than Himl Soan’s dagger.
“You won!” The man smiled bitterly.
The fog vanished, and Firey could see them again.
“Master!” She cried out in excitent when she saw Himl Soan subdue the man with the divine dagger.
It all happened so suddenly.
One second ago, the man was so sure that Himl Soan would lose, and now, the battle was over.
“You fought well!” Himl Soan put away the dagger.
As soon as the man admitted his defeat, the water stopped attacking him.
He wasn’t worried about the man being deceitful. He had subdued him and passed the test. The man had no reason to break his promise.
Moreover, Himl Soan could feel that the man wasn’t at his best. Instead, he suppressed himself to be at the sa level as Himl Soan, just as the rules required him to.
If the man wanted to kill Himl Soan, he could simply exert all his power. Himl Soan would never be his match.
“How did you do it?” the man asked Himl Soan in bewildernt.
He still couldn’t figure out how Himl Soan disappeared from his sight and got so close to him.
With that speed, he could have left the fog in an instant and didn’t need to stall for so long.
“We have a saying from where I ca from: what makes you successful can also be your downfall. The fog helped you to suppress , but it’s also why you lost the battle.” Himl Soan was in high spirits.
“I still don’t understand,” said the man. He still couldn’t wrap his head around how Himl Soan did it.
“It’s quite simple. When the fog condensed into water drops, they would show my reflection. That was how I won.”
The man finally understood.
When the fog condensed, countless droplets of water filled the air.
When there were enough water droplets, they would form curtains of water that appeared all around Himl Soan like big mirrors.
Himl Soan made good use of his reflections in these mirrors.
The man saw Himl Soan trying to run away from the fog, but it was actually Himl Soan’s reflection. The real him was hidden elsewhere.
That was how Himl Soan suddenly disappeared from the man’s sight.
When the reflection disappeared, the real Himl Soan was already by the man’s side.
“How did you know where to find ?” the man asked.
Himl Soan needed to stay out of the man’s sight, but he also had to find the man’s location. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to put the dagger on his throat.
“Another saying from my hotown: the villains die because they talk too much. Although it was hard to track you in the fog, your voice revealed your location.”
Himl Soan didn’t spend the last hour running around aimlessly. He had been looking for the man.
He never gave up and only struck back when it was the right mont.
As expected, he turned the situation around and defeated his opponent.
“I see…” The man seed frustrated.
He never thought he would lose like this.
He was as capable as Himl Soan, if not better, but he was a lot weaker in terms of improvising in actual battles.
Of course, he would lose the fight.
A long while passed before the man smiled with relief. “Congratulations. You won the battle. I’m impressed.”
“I was lucky. If the fog had turned into flowing water faster, I’d have been trapped.”
