Chapter 206: Dog Eat Dog (1/2)

Dominating Heaven Blade smiled sinisterly. “Heh, die!”

He pulled his blade out of Blue Sky Scar’s body and sped up the latter’s death. The poor dude probably never thought that he would die to Dominating Heaven Blade one day.

Dominating Heaven Blade was the leader of the second strongest guild in China’s Guild Ranking, but his real expertise lay in his ability to win people over to his side. Gaming skill–wise, he wasn’t even close to a top-class pro like Blue Sky Scar, so you could just imagine how frustrating it was for the latter to die by Dominating Heaven Blade’s hand.

“Roar roar!”

Suddenly, a giant wolf covered in flames pounced toward me. It was Tempest Shadow’s pet, a Wildfire Greedy Wolf with incredibly high BN value and a top-class pet during the early stages of the game.

Pu pu!

The Wildfire Greedy Wolf bit and tore into my flesh, hitting me twice and dealing 234 and 272 damage!

That was depressing, for Tempest Shadow that was. I had so much Defense that most pets wouldn’t have enough attack to pierce it completely, so all things considered, it was still pretty amazing that his Wildfire Greedy Wolf could reach triple digits with each attack.

Meanwhile, Lin Yixin finally appeared at the entrance of the fifth floor. Wielding a sword that was bathed in moonlight, she pounced straight for the enemy’s sniper and divine archer, Transient Smoke and Clouds!

“Tempest Shadow, kite formation!”

Transient Smoke and Clouds shouted and started moving consciously toward the back. At the same time, he fired two arrows at my chest and deleted a sizable amount of HP!

754!

421!

Holy shit, I was positive that his bow ignored a certain percentage of Defense. Otherwise, there was no explaining the amount of damage he had done to me. I had almost a thousand Defense, and I still lost over a thousand HP in just two basic attacks. No wonder he was able to one-shot Dominating Mage God through his Magic Shield.

I moved to the forefront and ran toward Transient Smoke and Clouds with all I got. If we didn’t kill him as quickly as possible, if he was allowed to kite us all over the place, he might just be able to turn this fight around single-handedly, or at least make life hell for all of us!

But Tempest Shadow caught me first like a ferocious blaze. Eyes burning with fury, he slashed me twice with a Blaze + Flame Thrust combo! His attack was so fast that I wasn’t able to dodge any of them!

845!

712!

Unbelievable, he was nothing like the time I dueled against him. One misstep, and I might just die to the two war gods!

Lin Yixin called out to me, “Careful, Lu Chen! Don’t you die on me…”

Transient Smoke and Clouds was as slippery as a loach. Lin Yixin stuck to him like a gum on his shoe, but she was never able to catch him with her sword. Not only was he leading Lin Yixin by the nose, he was also running in a circle around me. Every time he found an opening, he immediately fired a shot and made my life hell.

Dominating Heaven Blade shot us a glance before skidding to a sudden stop. While chugging a health potion, he called out to Murong Mingyue behind him. “Beauty Murong, what are you waiting for? Heal me up so I can help them!”

Murong Mingyue gritted her teeth but didn’t obey his order. Instead, she ran forward and gathered silver energy around the tip of her staff. It was impossible to tell if she was planning to heal me or Lin Yixin.

A ruthless gleam peeked out of Dominating Heaven Blade’s eyes. The man looked like he was about to kill someone!

I immediately said inside the party channel, “Sis, watch out! Dominating Heaven Blade is probably planning to kill you!”

“Mn, I know!”

Murong Mingyue was a smart woman. She was running along the walls to put some distance between herself and Dominating Heaven Blade. However, she never strayed too far that she was completely out of range of me and Lin Yixin.

Thud thud!

I took another two arrow shots, and when I checked my HP bar I felt cold sweat pouring down my back. I only had 34 HP left!

Murong Mingyue shouted anxiously, “Lu Chen, stop running forward, dammit! I can’t heal you from here!”

I looked behind me where Tempest Shadow was chasing. As I thought, my HP was so low that the bastard had dropped all pretense of caution and was running toward me at full speed. In fact, he was less than 10 yards away from me. As a top-class long-range attacker, Transient Smoke and Clouds’ ability to control the distance between himself and his target was as natural as breathing. He was able to maintain a 35 to 40-yard distance between me and himself as he ran from Lin Yixin, the best range for an archer to rain hell on his target!

However, this also meant that I could break free of his control anytime I felt like it!

Suddenly, I changed direction and charged toward Tempest Shadow!

Swoosh!

I hit the warrior like a lightning bolt and caused a stun icon to appear above his head. His eyes were full of killing intent, however. I had almost run out of HP, and one strike was all it took to kill me!

Unfortunately, I would have to disappoint him. I drank the HP potion I had readied a while ago, and a green number that shattered his heart appeared above my head.

+1500!

It was another Rank 6 Health Potion. High-level potions were absolutely critical in a PvP battle like this!

At the same time, I swung my Ghost Ice Soul and executed my signature combo, Pardon + Desperate Gambit!

MISS!

2845!

I wasn’t able to one-shot Tempest Shadow. He was a high-level warrior, and he still had over 1200 HP even after the combo. His max HP was even higher than He Yi’s!

Crack!

I naturally followed up with a basic attack and deleted 744 HP from Tempest Shadow’s health bar. At the same time, I swiftly positioned myself right behind him. The moment he broke out of his stun and turned around, I followed his rotation and circled almost perfectly to his back again! He wasn’t able to see me!

“What?!”

In that instant, Tempest Shadow readied himself for death. He knew that I was right behind him!

I wasn’t going to wait 6 seconds for my cooldown to finish, so I thrust my sword forward and stabbed him in the back! The blade of my sword and a copious amount of blood immediately burst out of his chest!
