Chapter 1073: 1073
In a Thief vs . Thief fight, initiative was incredibly important . The next most important thing was casting your Crowd Control skills onto your opponent . The player that got these things right would have a significant advantage .

However, even if you failed, that didn't mean you had to give up . Everyone here was a professional player after all, and the equipment gap wasn't as great as compared to an ordinary player . By the time Post-Mortem Cook had a chance to fight back, he was already on 40% HP .
He turned around and immediately cast Gouge!
His angle of attack was quite precise and he successfully stunned Lu Li for a second .
Many of the players who trained in this profession were very skilled at this . It was the result of endless hours of work, and even someone like Lu Li couldn't react quickly enough to it .
After being stunned for a second, Post-Mortem Cook didn't even consider going around to cast Cheap Shot . This was a waste of time . He couldn't give an opponent like Lu Li any further opportunities, so he cast his signature skill, Hemorrhage .
A spray of blood flowed out of the wound in Lu Li's chest as damage values continuously appeared over his head .
The amount of damage was very low, so Lu Li didn't have to worry about it for a while . However, the reason why Hemorrhage was so strong was because the effect could be stacked up to five times . It was said that enhanced Hemorrhage could even be stacked up to ten times .
Hemorrhage could be cast almost instantly, so Lu Li had been hit with three stacks by the time he recovered .
Lu Li then blocked his opponent's next attack, which still caused damage, but prevented further stacks of Hemorrhage from accumulating .

There was no way that Lu Li could afford to tank five stacks of Hemorrhage either .
Now, the fight was simply a matter of the two Thieves and their four daggers as they started to grind each other down .
Post-Mortem had saved up his signature move, but unfortunately, he wasn't a particularly strong Thief in fights like these . He had weaker attack power and couldn't stand up to Lu Li's strength . When he finally died, Lu Li was still left with 18% HP .
After four fights, even Lu Li was a little bit tired .
However, he stood on the stage confidently, waiting for the fifth player from Blue Universe . The audience slowly calmed down, as they watched this usually low-key, but sometimes ridiculous Lu Li . They couldn't help but respect him .
There were two more players in Blue Universe – one was a Shaman called Lucky, while the other was a Warlock called Voidwalker .
The Shaman was an elemental Shaman who mainly focused on ranged Magic damage with some healing abilities . This profession had great benefits in a group fight, but in a one-on-one fight with a Thief, they had almost no hope of winning . The Warlock was a damage output profession, with no overwhelming advantage for either side .
After some discussion the Warlock Voidwalker was sent on stage .

Voidwalker was obviously a new ID, but this didn't mean that he was a new player . He could have just used a different ID in his previous games .
Dawn had a monster called a Voidwalker . It was an elemental monster, and was one of the Demons that a Warlock could summon . They were also known as 'fatty', or 'blue fatty' .
It was likely that when this player first entered the game, they had seen a Voidwalker on the forums and decided to name themselves after it . This was actually considered bad form among the Warlock circles .
He summoned a blue fatty, which had relatively high Armor and Health, but the damage that it could deal was limited as it was a guard pet . His Voidwalker was said to have crowd control skills like Trample, Charge, a shield skill and a life-sharing skill . It was an exquisite summon and he had completed many quests to get it to its current state .
Trample could help him catch Thieves, Charge was generally a good crowd control skill, the shield could reduce his damage taken and the life sharing skill meant that Lu Li couldn't only target the Warlock . It was this life-sharing skill that made a fragile Warlock much tankier .
In general, Voidwalker was capable of dealing with most Thieves, but now, he was facing Lu Li .
Even if the blue fatty was there to share the damage with him, he would lose HP much faster than Lu Li would . Most of his damage would come from the blue fatty and some continuous damage skills . He wouldn't have much of a chance to channel any of his powerful skills .
However, Voidwalker didn't give up . Lu Li's HP was less than 20%, so that was all he needed to get rid of before he died .
Lu Li engaged and used all kinds of skills and effects, trying his best to close the distance between his opponent's HP and his own .

With his residual HP remaining, Lu Li looked up to see that Voidwalker actually only had 30 to 40% HP remaining .
He then calmly used a special effect on the blue fatty .
Death's Clutch (Dark Gold): Armor 55, Agility +50, Strength +35, Critical Hit +20%, Special Effect 1: Backstab +1, Special Effect 2: After casting Cheap Shot, there is a certain chance that a shield that reduces 50% of damage taken will appear . This effect lasts for up to 3 skills . Special Effect 3: Exile, prevent the target from taking any actions for 2 seconds . During this period, the target is invincible . Only one target can be exiled at a time and this skill can only be used on targets that are lower levelled than the user . Equipment Requirement: Level 55 . Durability 268/268 .
Exile!
For two seconds, Lu Li couldn't attack the blue fatty, but the blue fatty couldn't threaten him either .
He turned towards Voidwalker and turned into a Giant Wolf in midair with The Book of Ur's effect .
Voidwalker's Disarm effect had not yet lapsed, so he couldn't stop Lu Li from dealing hundreds of damage . After landing, Lu Li ran around Voidwalker and didn't hesitate to use his Enhanced Shadowstrike, even though the angle and preparation wasn't great . However, he still produced a Skill Completion of greater than 90%, resulting in a 1 second stun .
The blue fatty had now recovered, and was moving in to attack Lu Li .
Lu Li only had a few hundred points of HP left . If the blue fatty hit him with a dozen more continuous damage skills, he would be dead .
Even if the blue fatty didn't hit him, the continuous damage that he was taking was bound to kill him as well .
Of course, Voidwalker was now always in a critical state .
"Dammit, Voidwalker shouldn't have brought the blue fatty . If it was a succubus or a demon, one skill would have killed Lu Li already . "
The most stressed players was neither Lu Li nor Voidwalker, but the other players in Blue Universe .
If it was a succubus and it cast Fear on Lu Li, there was a good chance that he would have nothing to respond with .
If it was a demon, then a large fireball would definitely be enough to instantly kill him .
Although the blue fatty was useful, it was melee and had low movement speed . It had to walk all the way to Lu Li to attack him .
Backstab!
The level six Backstab dealt 600 damage, which wasn't much less damage than an ultimate skill . Lu Li then lifted his leg and Kicked his opponent to interrupt the life sharing skill . After Voidwalker was kicked, he would be silenced for a while . He stared blankly for a moment before lifting his Magic Staff and bringing it down on Lu Li's face .
