Chapter 393: Soul Of The Wild (1/2)
A pure warrior party composition, eh. This should be easy.
I declared our strategy with a smile, “Beiming Xue will kite, and Li Chengfeng, Eve, and me will meet them halfway. Easy peasy.”
Li Chengfeng nodded in agreement. “That’s exactly what I’m thinking as well.”
It was simple but effective. Even if Beiming Xue wasn’t the famous Dark Archer, the enemy still had to kill her first to avoid being kited to death. Unfortunately for them, Li Chengfeng, He Yi and I would be blocking their way, so there was no chance they could ever succeed. Their meme party might be able to beat a weaker opponent, but never a powerful and scientific party like ours.
Swhoosh!
I growled and felt power surging throughout my body. The image of a war god rose above my head before it turned into a ring of light and landed around my feet. It was the Famous General Skill, Martial God, buffing everyone’s Attack and Magic Attack by 75%!
……
The system started counting down—
3!
2!
1!
Begin!
Beiming Xue immediately retreated to the back and loosed a couple of purple arrows in quick succession. When Evil Spirit Volley exploded in earnest, the Iron Mercenaries quickly discovered that the Dark Archer wasn’t to be underestimated—
3102!
2873!
3018!
……
Shocked, their guild’s leader, Iron War Tiger, shouted, “Brothers, we need to kill that Beiming Xue first! Her Attack is too high!”
Beiming Xue smiled sweetly as she retreated until she was exactly 40 yards away from the nearest enemy warrior. Then, she aimed at the ground in front of a charging warrior and loosed another arrow. Her prediction was perfect, and the arrow hit the female warrior called Iron Silver Fox square on!
3284!
Iron Silver Fox groaned and died just like that. Beiming Xue’s attack was just too much for her to endure.
At the same time, Li Chengfeng, He Yi, and I charged toward three clumped up warriors and fired our skills in unison!
4783!
4402!
4134!
These Level 100+ warriors all had around 8000 HP or so, but they weren’t nearly tanky enough to withstand our powerful attack. That single exchange was all it took to delete another three warriors from the battlefield.
The last warrior was still chasing Beiming Xue, but she constantly stayed out of reach and pumped arrows into his body like a deadly butterfly. In less than 15 seconds, he dropped to his knees and died as well!
Ding~!
System Notice: Congratulations, your party has won the first round of your first match. The second round will begin in two minutes!
……
Back at the orchard, Li Chengfeng commented with a smile, “God, that was so easy. We didn’t even get to drink a potion!”
I nodded in agreement. “Yeah, these Iron Mercenaries only have high levels, nothing else.”
Li Chengfeng and I laughed because Murong Mingyue’s assessment was more or less correct. Iron Mercenaries were actually pretty tanky, but they had the horrible luck of running into me. No ordinary Defense was ever going to hold up against my broken Famous General Skill, Martial God.
The second round began pretty soon, and everyone was teleported into the ring again. On the other side, the Iron Mercenaries stared at us with ugly expression for a moment before Iron Silver Fox spoke up, “I suppose it’s not the worst thing in the world to lose to the best experts of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls…”
Li Chengfeng raised his sword and replied with a smile, “Sorry, it’s not like we’re doing this on purpose. Maybe you’ll run into a weaker party during the next Who Will Rise tournament.”
Iron War Tiger smiled a little. “Let’s go!”
The countdown reached zero, and this time it was we who initiated the offense. The three of us charged toward our respective opponents, and my target was the only one who managed to avoid being stunned. It didn’t matter though. I simply barreled into the enemy, swung my sword a couple of times and took them out, as easy as pie. Not far away, Murong Mingyue and Beiming Xue were working together to annihilate two warriors themselves. In just two minutes, we successfully routed the Iron Mercenaries without taking even a single point of damage!
It was a 2-0 victory!
Ding~!
System Notice: Congratulations, your party has advanced to the next preliminaries match!
……
In fact, we won our match so quickly that we had to wait another 14 minutes before the next match could begin. Each round had a 5-minute time limit, and most players probably hadn’t even finished their first round yet. Of course, 14 minutes wasn’t long, and out next opponent was displayed on the screen very soon—
Party: Blazing Hot Lips
Stranger Of Three Lifetimes LV-105 Mage
