Chapter 471: Qualifier Round – Bomb Tag (2/2)
Although Brocell didn't touch Ma Moxi, his face touched the latter's fist.
'Tagged, Ma Moxi is now carrying the BOMB!'
Four seconds remaining
Ma Moxi gazed at his body and clicked his tongue. He turned around, looking for prey to transfer this red light.
But before Ma Moxi could react, Zhao Yun patted Ma Moxi's shoulder and kicked the ground. She took the bomb tag and rushed toward the formation of golems at the northwest section.
Nobody noticed the trail of holy light and lightning sparks in Zhao Yun's eyes. She instantly reappeared behind Brocell, who was in the process of resurrecting by using his golem's body.
She and her Holy Light Spear became a light bullet, destroying 30 golems in her path like an unstoppable arrow. Even the golem's body that Brocell was using had a hole in its chest. All of them suddenly shone in red light before they crumbled to piles of metal ores.
'Tagged! Brocell is now carrying the bomb!'
Three seconds remaining
Brocell reemerged again. But this time, he used a golem body, located at the other corner.
One of the golems was standing at the southwest corner, where Yan Liang, Ling Tianlong, and Liu Xuande had gathered.
”Dear me. Not only Ma Chao is under Cao Cao, but Zhao Yun, too!? Can somebody nerf Cao Cao, please! He's defo cheating!”
Two seconds remaining
Brocell ignored the timer and strolled toward Liu Xuande as if his life wasn't being threatened.
Seeing how Liu Xuande was being targeted, Zhang Yide, who had been teleported to the same area, bellowed and charged at Brocell.
”HOW DARE YOU!!”
Brocell giggled, ”How convenient.”
”ZHANG YIDE, BACK AWAY!!”
It was too late. Brocell suddenly pulled out a pistol from his tuxedo and aimed at Zhang Yide's forehead.
The pistol didn't carry a physical bullet or soul stone bullets like the usual. Instead, it consumed Brocell's Soul Qi and DU Element Qi to create ammo.
Brocell's true cultivation base was on par with Zhang Yide!
BANG
The Soul Bullet was unleashed. A laser beam came out of the pistol.
”HNNNNNNN!!”
Zhang Yide mustered all his strength to tilt his head in reflex. The beam grazed his cheek and damaged his soul physique.
Normally, physical injuries to the soul physique would be instantly healed. Yet, the grazed wound continued to leak his soul Qi to the air.
Zhang Yide's soul was slightly damaged!
Moreover, Zhang Yide's entire body turned red!
'Tagged, Zhang Yide is now carrying the bomb.'
One second remained.
Zhang Yide reacted to the warning. Since long-ranged Qi attacks were treated as a touch, he had an idea how he could exploit this rule.
Zhang Yide mustered all his strength to this right arm. He turned around and tossed his soul-bound immortal-grade serpent spear at the center of the arena.
He aimed at a random cultivator from Ling Cao's side, who stood at the edge of the board!
”DIEEEEEE!!”
WHOOOM!!
The spear created a sonic boom, and it punctured through two cultivators and three golems, who had been standing in the trajectory path. All their bodies turned red in the process, but the heaven-grade spear flew into the void.
Then, the time was over.
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
All golems and cultivators with the tag were detonated as the mysterious voice had said. Then, the voice announced the result of the game.
'The winner of this game is Zhang Yide. He may request a reward from the Continent Host!'
”…”
Everybody hadn't adjusted to the strange battle royal yet. They stared at Zhang Yide with a complicated expression.
Meanwhile, the lucky winner was frozen for a while. He, too, didn't know what to speak as everything happened so fast.
His brain couldn't keep up with the changes. It was overheating.
Still, he spoke by reflex.
”I just lost my weapon. Can I have a weapon?”
Uriel snickered and waved his hand. The immortal-grade serpent spear that Zhang Yide had thrown flew back him.
Zhang Yide caught it and laughed. But a second later, he smacked his forehead.
”Fuck! I forgot! My weapon is soul-bound. I can't possibly lose it! I could have summoned it back myself!”
He turned to Uriel, begging for a new reward, ”Can I ask for another reward, please? That wasn't my wish!”
Uriel shook his head, ”You asked for a weapon, and I gave it to you. The transaction is completed.”
”Nooooo! That's not fair!”
”Instead of pestering me, how about you pay attention to your surroundings?”
”Hmm?”
BANG
BANG
BANG
Zhang Yide came back to his senses, and he found Brocell, who had turned into a gunslinger, shooting everybody randomly.
One of the bullets also came for him.
”FUCK!!”
Zhang Yide leaped away from the bullet's trajectory. Yet, the barrage didn't stop.
…
”Yare, Yare. They're having fun without me.”
Miaomiao smirked as he observed how Zhao Yun destroyed the golems at the northwest corner of the platform. She turned into a war god, decimating everything nearby.
Ma Moxi was still crouching on the same tile, irritated by Brocell's unpredictable movements.
For the first time, he found a target that could slip through his grasp.
His assassin pride was hurt!
Ma Moxi's body faded as he entered stealth mode. He sneaked closer to the southwest area, planning to maim Brocell and others while they were busy.
While Miaomiao was paying attention to his woman and Ma Moxi went for his target, Dian Wei shifted her position and stood at Miaomiao's left side.
CLANK
She blocked an arrow with a war ax, after which she glared at the archer.
Huang Hansheng had been standing at the west side of the board. He aimed his arrows at Miaomiao.
”Geezer!!” Dian Wei bellowed.
The archer clicked his tongue, ”Damn demon wench!”
As everyone was about to go at it, the red and white tiles reappeared.
Because of the lack of preparation, more than one fighter accidentally stepped on the red tiles.
