Chapter 397: LAN (1/2)
Pardon + Desperate Gambit + basic attack!
MISS!
7129!
3157!
The combo deleted most of Red Dust’s health in an instant and drained all the blood from his face. ”Fuck, this is stupid! What the fuck is this Attack?!”
I was preparing to one-shot him with my next combo, but to my surprise the high-level magic knight took out a Rank 8 Health Potion, drank it, and healed himself for 2500 HP instantly. It wouldn’t be easy to kill him now.
Suddenly, two shadows appeared next to me. They were the two enemy assassins of course. I was Level 109, 3 to 4 levels higher than them, so I had no trouble spotting them when they were just three yards away from me!
Trying to use Ambush and stun me again?
Red Dust’s rapid retreat to save his own life actually gave me more than enough space to cook up a counter against the assassins. Smiling a little and sliding a foot backward, I tensed up like a coil of spring and waited. The moment the two assassins attacked me, I burst into action and swung my sword to the left and right!
Ding ding!
Both parries were perfect, so their skills missed me completely. Gao Jianli exclaimed in shock, ”Fuck! What the fuck is this reaction speed!?”
Refusing to give up, Zero Degree Rain tried to attack me with a Gorge + Evil Will combo next. I saw exactly how he was going to move, so I took a step toward him, placed my sword in front of me and parried the first skill. Then, I abruptly lowered the blade and parried the second skill as well. Finally, I lowered my waist and threw a mighty kick to his chest!
Bang!
1798!
Zero Degree Rain let out a muffled groan and he backed away from me, but he failed to react in time to deal with the beautiful figure who had snuck up behind him. He Yi hit him directly with a Green Wave Slash!
Boom!
4194!
3908!
Zero Degree Rain was one-shot just like that. Since He Yi had unleashed her skill from a good angle, the other assassin, Gao Jianli, also took a hit and lost a huge chunk of his HP. Before he could do anything else, Beiming Xue’s assist arrived at the perfect moment and killed him where he stood!
On the other side of the battlefield, Li Chengfeng was overwhelming Red Dust with a perfectly executed Dragonbone Flurry. Despite the latter’s best attempt to parry the skill, he couldn’t stop the deadly attack that penetrated his body and claimed his life!
Swhoosh swhoosh!
It was around this time Murong Mingyue cast two spells in a row and healed me for 3687 and 2788 health, pulling me back to the green. Purple Dawn groaned in his head. ”They have a priest. How the fuck are even we going to fight this?”
Crack!
One last hit, and he was dead as well!
Purple Dawn looked angry, but he knew there was nothing he could do to turn things around. So he humphed coldly and said, ”Just you wait, Candlelight Shadow will take revenge for us if you’re lucky enough to survive until the finals!”
Swhoosh!
Purple Dawn forfeited the match in shame. The second seed of Candle Dragon was annihilated just like that!
With that 2-0 victory, we officially progressed to the last match of the preliminaries!
……
When we were teleported back to the orchard, everyone let out a visible sigh of relief. Fighting a powerful party like that was always going to be stressful.
But Murong Mingyue smiled and said, ”I thought that it would be a close victory at best, but after those perfect parries you did they lost steam completely and crumbled like sand castles, Lu Chen. Hehe, it was awesome~~”
Li Chengfeng agreed. ”Yeah, you really made me feel like there’s no end to learning, vice leader. The way you parried so many attacks in such a small time window, only a monster can pull off such a feat.”
I rolled my eyes at him. ”Who are you calling a monster? I’m a perfectly normal human being, alright?’
Li Chengfeng laughed. ”Haha, it’s just a metaphor. Anyway, I wonder who our last opponent will be?”
”Well, we’ll know very soon.”
……
Everyone was very excited. We were literally one match away from entering the LAN tournament.
A short while later, our enemies’ information appeared on the screen, and a wide smile broke across all of our faces. This literally couldn’t get any better for us!
