Rise Of The Dragon Emperor

Chapter 140 Ronan Vs Percy (4)

Percy regained his calm after standing back up , Ronan’s strength was indeed terrifying but he could not let it mess up his battleplan.

Since he was knocked back this time , all he could do now was to put his head down and focus on what to do next.

Since distance between himself and Ronan was established once again due to him being knocked back, he could apparently continue with his initial plan itself , which was the reason why he had blasted Ronan back in the first place.

However instead of Ronan staying back it was him who was pushed back but the other parameters remained the same. Since that was the case it was time to start his plotting.

Percy started to do a wierd step where he moved side to side in his own position while eyeing Ronan down , it was a completely new move that nobody including Ronan had ever seen before but actually it was a trap.

While it looked like Percy was doing some wierd battle stance that required him to be moving in a specific manner , he was actually perfectly hiding the manipulation of fire below his feet as he was secretly brewing an attack from the underground._.

It was one of the sneakiest attacks he had ever came up with in his life and it was several weeks of practice to master it. It was a move that used Ronan’s impatience against him , as Percy was sure that after a while of observing the wierd pattern of moving, Ronan would most likely come in for the attack.

The pattern that looked like a haphazard movement was actually riddled with openings to attack and exploit and while some seemed like obvious traps the others were deeply seated.

However amongst all those flaws Percy actually knew exactly which one Ronan would chose to exploit as he had played shadow fight against Ronan for this sequence countless times in his mind.

Thinking extensively of how he would approach this pattern as an attacker and Percy’s planning was spot on indeed as after 30 seconds of observation, Ronan did close in once again , by using lightning wave as he went for a roundhouse kick straight to the ribs when Percy was moving from one feet to another.

It was the only spot where Percy could possibly throw in a punch that Ronan needed to dodge to get a clean hit , as he felt that Percy was baiting him for that precise moment . But his guess was wrong as Percy did not move from his spot at all , however an enormous fireblast vertically blasted Ronan off as he came inch close to Percy.

BOOM!

The fire attack took everyone by surprise as audible gasps could be heard from the crowd. Noone including the sect masters noticed Percy laying the trap for Ronan as everyone was taken by shock.

However that was only the start of Percy’s combo , as just as Ronan was sent flying into the air a myriad of flaming spears descended from the skies at the exact location where Ronan was sent flying.

While Ronan tried to defend using lightning shield , he was not in the best position to mount a defense as if he committed himself too much to defending from above then Percy would get a clean shot from beneath while he could not simply dodge mid-air either.

The perfect lose-lose trap , Ronan could only cover his vitals while his arms were pierced clean by Percy’s attacks as he took a pummeling from the spears to not risk additional attack from Percy from the ground.

Landing on his feet , covered in blood by gaping wounds at four locations , Ronan was the first one to lose blood in the battle!

A loud cheer went up from the crowd to show support to Percy , while some of the sect masters got up from their seats subconsciously by admiring the beauty of the trap laid by Percy.

An ingenious sequence of attacks , forcing Ronan to take damage to minimize damage impressed even the old timers who thought of Percy’s scheming abilities to be top notch.

However only Alexander knew that this was only the start and that Percy had planned this battle for months now.

If Ronan was injured by such tricks then his chances of winning this battle were indeed grim as this was not a duel , but a display of Percy’s determination and will to prove that he was still the best one around.

Having thoroughly planned this battle from start to finish, his advantage was much greater going into the battle than Ronan , as eventhough he was inferior in terms of battle potential , he had spent countless hours crafting the best moves to dominate Ronan and practicing them to perfection.

It was not something that Ronan could catch upto even if he was the better warrior.

After this sequence, Alexander’s mind was made that Percy would emerge as the eventual winner.

His scheming and Leif’s direction seemed to be too terrifying for Ronan to match .

Sierra could not look at the blood from her son pouring out as she closed her eyes and shed a tear. She had prepared herself mentally for this , but it seemed that in the end she could still not actually see it , as she felt sad for her little one.

However while Alexander and Sierra pitied Ronan , Ronan himself laughed like a madman as he finally felt the creative juices in his mind flowing.

This was a battle that pumped his adrenaline and actually made him feel excited. All these days he had been waiting for a true test of strength and only been dissapointed in the others from his generation.

Fighting against his brother now he finally felt liberated! He knew that this fight was going to be good but he never expected it to be so good!

As he felt the searing pain in his arms where he was pierced he smiled as he activated his lightning skills.

If his brother had excellent combos, so did he! He would put damage right back on the table now that it had been dished out so brutally on him!
