To put it simply, some people are the burst-damage type. For example, Li Tiannan's Ghost Thunder Art is a combat technique with immense destructive power. However, its weakness is also obvious: it requires time to build up energy.
Sword Elder, on the other hand, is the sustained-damage type. His Golden Light Sword can be cast instantly and is fiercely powerful, but dealing a fatal blow to an enemy is still quite difficult.
Different combat styles naturally lead to different roles on the battlefield.
Overall, however, both Li Tiannan and Sword Elder are direct, head-on fighters. In reality, a battlefield is ever-changing, so direct confrontation is far from the only method of combat.
From ancient times to the present, one profession has always existed.
It is called: assassin.
During the historical Pre-Qin Era, there was a famous assassin named Jing Ke.
And among the twenty Strongest, there was also an assassin.
