Chapter 149: Humiliation (2/2)

Dominating Heaven Blade’s HP plummeted. He released his pet and used it to obstruct Spring Mud’s pursuit, dodging in a zigzag, then disengaged entirely and downed a health potion.

Spring Mud and Moon Shadow quickly chased after him with a few pets right behind them.

At this time, Dominating Archer God who had yet to make a move this whole time suddenly exploded. Rank 6 Volley rained from the sky, boring holes through Spring Mud, Moon Shadow, and Xu Yang.

“Die!”

Dominating Knight God dashed over. His spear shook as he unleashed Flame Thrust with Blaze. Moon Shadow didn’t react fast enough and died!

Dominating Archer God calmly nocked an arrow and shot out an Ice Arrow. Ice Arrow’s movement speed reduction was even stronger than Night Sorrow’s Ice Volley!

Thunk!

Tail feathers swayed but the arrow itself did not go through Spring Mud’s chestplate.

With his movement speed greatly lowered, Dominating Mage God’s second Ice Dragon Howl descended. Not wanting to be one-shot, Spring Mud looked up with an unreconciled expression, but was powerless to change his fate.

Dominating Warrior God and Xu Yang fought each other and Murong Mingyue continuously healed as support. In fact, even when Murong Mingyue used her instant heals, she wasn’t able to reverse the situation. The opponent’s coordination and mechanics were in fact extraordinary. The Ego workshop’s mentality simply wasn’t on the same level as them. This especially applied to Dominating Heaven Blade. His commands were shrewd and experienced. It wasn’t something this young Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls team could deal with.

Two streaks of white light scattered as both Xu Yang and Murong Mingyue were both sent off the stage.

Dominating Heaven Blade nabbed the first victory with a dominant lead!

“Hmph!”

Hugging his blade in hand, Dominating Heaven Blade said a bunch of nonsense and laughed, “Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls? A third-rate guild dares to participate in the struggle for Floating Ice City? Forget it. Ego workshop? In my opinion, it should be called Pussy workshop. You guys are too lousy. Don’t bother coming out to make fools of yourselves with your shabby skills. Hahaha!”

Spring Mud was angered. “Motherfucker!”

He looked like he was about to fly back on the stage when a dignified female voice came over. “Spring Mud, shut up! We can lose the battle but we can’t lose our composure!”

“Ugh. Yes, boss…”

The only person who could control an enraged Spring Mud was He Yi.

From afar, He Yi’s face was expressionless, but it appeared helpless and weak. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls’ dream had once again been shattered in Who Will Fight Me.

My heart ached slightly when I saw this. Right when I was about to go there to comfort her, Beiming Xue unexpectedly held my arm in place and shook her head. Her meaning was obvious.

“Hmph!”

I looked at Dominating Heaven Blade with gritted teeth. “If Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls lose this round, I’m gonna humiliate this bastard Dominating Heaven Blade in the semifinals!”

Beiming Xue and Gui Guzu both nodded. “Agreed!”

……

Not long after, the second match between Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls and Gods of Destruction began.

Spring Mud revised their strategy and swapped targets to Dominating Mage God. Dominating Mage God’s attack power was super impressive in the last match. He practically reaped a life every time he made a move. He was like a long-range nuke. If he wasn’t dealt with fast, the Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls team could only wait to get swallowed up by his Ice Dragon Howl one by one.

As soon as the match started, Xu Yang yelled and pounced in from the right, bypassing Dominating Heaven Blade who stood at the forefront, his weapon aimed at Dominating Mage God!

Dominating Heaven Blade’s gaze swept over and he chuckled. Dominating Knight God blocked the assault.

As Xu Yang accordingly attracted the enemy’s attention, Spring Mud and Moon Shadow attacked the opponent’s mage from the opposite direction. The archer Night Sorrow was this entire competition’s crux!

Ice Volley!

Papapa...

Eight arrows were randomly unleashed, but three of them flew toward Dominating Mage God as if they were conscious. The accuracy of this Night Sorrow was praiseworthy!

But who would’ve thought that Dominating Mage God had long anticipated this. He slid backward, past the 5 yard area of effect of Volley. Out of the three arrows, two missed and the last struck Dominating Mage God’s Magic Shield. It couldn’t break the shield so the mage naturally did not take any damage whatsoever.

Dominating Heaven Blade laughed loudly, then intercepted Moon Shadow and Spring Mud with Dominating Warrior God!

Clang clang!

After a couple of sword strikes, Moon Shadow was swiftly disposed of by Dominating Heaven Blade and Dominating Warrior God’s dual Blaze combo. Meanwhile, Spring Mud had been sniped by Dominating Archer God’s Ice Arrow. His movement speed had been lowered by at least 40%. Ice attacks were just too overpowered in PvP. This was also why I had picked Ice Ray instead of Blaze.

“Ugh…”

Without even needing the other team’s three warriors to move out, one Dominating Archer God alone was enough to kill Spring Mud.

Spring Mud wasn’t weak, it was just that he had been completely toyed with. When he chased, Dominating Archer God retreated, then continued to attack! He had actually been one-upped by his opponent’s kiting skills in the quarterfinals!

Too humiliating!

My face felt unbearably hot. Xu Yang died under the joint attack of several people. Murong Mingyue directly forfeited right after. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls’ entire strategy had been completely overthrown by their opponent. Moreover, it was clear that Xu Yang had been pushed aside in Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. For a warrior, getting forced out of the attacking team was an even bigger humiliation.

The big screen showed the score—2:0. This was how Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls bade farewell to Who Will Fight Me.

Murong Mingyue’s eyes were red when she left the battlefield, like she wanted to cry. He Yi patted her shoulder and consoled her with a few words.

Next match, Bloody Mercenaries VS Mad Dragon!

Mad Dragon was an old enemy. Roaming Dragon and his groupies were decently strong but it was a pity that they just had to go up against our Bloody Mercenaries!

Once we were all on the stage, Beiming Xue used Volley and I made my move. Pardon + Desperate Gambit instantly killed Iron Pardon while Gui Guzi killed Inconstant with the assistance from Yamete. We took the win with barely any suspense at all. Roaming Dragon angrily yelled off-stage, “I’ll pay you back in the next Who Will Fight Me!”

Next up were the semifinals!

The matches of the semifinals were displayed on the big screen. The system had automatically adjusted the matches. The first round of the semifinals was Bloody Mercenaries VS Gods of Destruction!
