Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh…
There were several flashes of light, and everyone was teleported onto the tournament ring.
On the other side, the silver-armored, sword-wielding Lin Yixin was staring at us. Her lips were smiling, but I knew her too well to miss the killing intent behind her countenance.
……
”What should we do?” Li Chengfeng asked.
Beiming Xue said, ”Sister Lin Yixin is the biggest threat of them all. I doubt even Sister Eve can withstand her Extreme Break + Moon Gaze + Ice Flame Slash combo.”
I nodded. ”In that case, let's take out Lin Yixin first. I'll be the main attacker, and Beiming Xue will support me. Chengfeng, your job is to clear out all the obstacles in our way. But be careful, Purple Marquis is an extremely skilled player. Also, Shadow Chanel's Thunder Dragon Breath is super powerful, so Beiming, sis, try not to get one-shot by her. That spell has a 2-second channel time at least, so it shouldn't be too difficult to dodge.”
”Mn.” The two girls nodded.
He Yi asked, ”What about me?”
”You should go after their Holy Bard, Beauty At First Sight!”
”Okay!”
……
The strategy was set, and all that was left was to wait for the countdown to begin. We didn't have to wait very long. Every number resounded in our hearts like a gong, signalling the beginning of the most exciting moment of this tournament. By the time this match was over, one of us—Snowy Cathaya or Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls—was going to ascend to the top and be known as China's strongest 5-man party!
3!
2!
1!
Begin!
I waved my arm and fired a Dragon Slaying Slash immediately at Purple Marquis. While the warrior was backing away warily, I had already locked onto Clear Perfume and was running toward her. It looked like I wanted to kill her, but really I was just baiting Lin Yixin, who was standing right next to her friend, to action. The beautiful wanderer was the one I really wanted to kill.
”b.a.s.t.a.r.d Lu Chen's trying to kill me?”
Clear Perfume loosed a couple of Freezing Arrows at me while she was backing away, but I was able to parry them with ease. Her hastiness did little to help her in this case.
Purple Marquis came back and fired Vacuum Slash at me. It was so fast and came at such an angle that it was impossible to dodge. Pain erupted from my shoulder as I lost a chunk of HP.
Beep!
Combat Log: Player ”Purple Marquis” used ”Vacuum Slash”, dealing 2829 damage!
d.a.m.n, no wonder he was Lin Yixin's greatest general. I had Ghost Deity Armor and Enhanced Bones, so there weren't many people who could hit more for almost 3000 HP with physical attack these days. My effective Defense was over 2000, and I was at least as tanky as He Yi.
Purple Marquis's eyes glinted with killing intent as he chuckled. ”See you later, Brother Lu Chen!”
His sword glowed again as the traditional picture of the universe appeared around him. The next moment, two speedy slashes came at me from different angles!
It was Purple Marquis's signature skill and killer move, Chaos Universe! It was a 2-hit skill that increased his Attack by 20%!
I reacted as quick as lightning. I moved to the side and moved the Heaven-stealing Sword across the air twice, successfully parrying both hits with no problems whatsoever. Then, I dove into his right flank and raised my leg into a powerful kick!
Bang!
Purple Marquis stumbled backward unceremoniously, and before he could even stand still Legendary Brave appeared out of nowhere and hit him with a devastating Reverse Scale Slash + Dragonbone Flurry + basic attack combo! Although one of the five consecutive attacks missed, Purple Marquis was still one-shot where he stood!
I was already looking away from Purple Marquis and charging Clear Perfume again. On the other side, Lin Yixin ran toward me to intercept me midway. I knew she would save Sun Qingqing no matter what.
Rustle rustle rustle…
Dust erupted whenever my Barbarian War Boots. .h.i.t the ground. I abruptly braked mid-run, zigzagged out of the way of Lin Yixin's attack and attempted to hit her with a surprise Desperate Gambit!
”Hah, I knew you were trying to kill me…”
She wasn't lying. Lips breaking into a tiny smile, Lin Yixin easily knocked my sword away before ducking toward my chest and ramming me like a truck. A loud bang erupted from the Obsidian Dragon Scale Armor. Holy s.h.i.+t, no ordinary person could withstand this body alright!
Just when Lin Yixin was about to hit me with an Extreme Break, I surprised her by grabbing her shoulders and pulling myself to her back. Then, I hugged her from behind and pressed the Heaven-stealing Sword to her left chest, smiling. ”Bye bye, Yiyi…”
War Crush + Dragon Slaying Slash + basic attack!
Bang bang bang bang bang!
The air around us erupted into redness as a series of damage numbers floated above Lin Yixin's head—
3198!
MISS!
MISS!
4103!
MISS!
My eyes bulged. Are you f.u.c.king kidding me? Three out of five of my attacks missed?!
Lin Yixin currently had over 10k HP and a ton of Defense thanks to her Famous General Skill, Bombsh.e.l.l. My Martial G.o.d was powerful, but Bombsh.e.l.l was definitely a match for it.
