Deception hadn't left! After entering the gully, he had hid there and used an Underground Tunneling Technique.
Sun Xiang's view was focused on the two turns at the ends of the gully. He had been trying to figure out which way to go and hadn't thought to think of what was under his feet. By the time Deception's movements were large and close enough to be sensed, it was too late to react.
The ninjato struck Ever-Stay under his chin harshly, throwing him into the air. Mo Fan, Deception, was the first to land a hit!
Annihilate, Flame Cut, Neck Bind Technique, Ninja Arts: Flickering Charge.
Four skills landed on Ever-Stay in flawless succession. Even if it was Sun Xiang, he was helpless against it.
"Beautiful!" Fang Rui yelled from Demeter's player bench.
