Figures flickered.
Both sides of the duel were skilled in hidden weapons.
As soon as the duel began, the two of them immediately distanced themselves from each other.
The battle soon reached a stalemate.
As they dodged back and forth, all the crowd could see were countless flying darts colliding and creating sparks in the air.
Before Neil took the stage, she was still full of disdain.
After all, she had trained in hidden weapons since childhood, and her skills in Ninja Stars had become extremely proficient.
Among her peers, no one could match her skills.
But after a few rounds, she was surprised to find that her opponent's hidden weapons were just as strong as hers.
If this continued, the match would end in a draw.
This was not the result she wanted.
If she couldn't win the match, she wouldn't have bothered taking the stage.
With this in mind, she immediately used her bewitching technique.
On the other side, Xenia's attention was focused on the exchange of hidden weapons, and she didn't notice anything unusual about her opponent.
But when her gaze met Neil's, her mind suddenly went blank.
While the audience was still nervously watching the duel, Xenia stopped her movements and stood still, her eyes vacant.
Matthew was deeply familiar with this state.
He almost died from this technique when he was in the Endless Sea.
The symptoms Xenia was exhibiting now indicated that she had fallen under Neil's bewitching technique and was trapped in an illusion.
As for Neil, seeing her technique succeed, she sneered.
"I thought you were stronger than this. Turns out you are not."
As she spoke, she took out a hidden dagger from her leg and slowly approached Xenia.
With the sharp dagger getting closer and closer to Xenia's abdomen, Neil's smile grew even more apparent as she was confident that victory was in his hands.
Her eyes suddenly narrowed.
She saw Xenia, who had been motionless like a statue, strangely dodging her attack.
Then, with lightning speed, Xenia drew a short blade from her waist and stabbed it into Neil's abdomen.
Neil couldn't react in time to the lightning-fast movement.
The next second, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.
Before she could even lower her head to examine it, she felt a numbness in her body.
Then, everything went black, and she fell to the ground.
Witnessing this scene, Thea couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, before the match, she insisted that Neil wear protective silk armor.
Otherwise, that stab from Xenia would have definitely caused serious damage to her hara.
Mylo, who was standing beside Thea, was shocked. His face darkened. "The Ancient Shadow Technique? Wasn't it lost ages ago? Why has it reappeared in the hands of this girl?"
