Chapter 401: Junior Lin (1/2)
It took the teamwork of two Heavenly Ranking experts to finally kill Predestined. It was quite a difficult battle to say the least. The good news was that He Yi finally displayed some tactical abilities in battle, although it was largely thanks to Li Chengfeng being an amazing player in his own right. If our cute guild leader had to fight Predestined alone, he could single-handedly make her eyes spin like a mosquito coil.
Regardless, it was great that we won the round and got a point. Fate was probably the hardest party we fought since Blazing Hot Lips in the preliminaries.
The end result was okay. We lost Beiming Xue and Murong Mingyue, but we annihilated our opponents.
One more round, and we would enter the Top 16!
……
Outside the tournament ring, we talked about the round while waiting for the next match to begin.
“That was close…” Beiming Xue stuck out her tongue before smiling. “If big bro wasn’t as tanky as he is, we would’ve lost a fighter from the start. It would’ve been really dangerous.”
Murong Mingyue nodded. “Yeah. Not only did Predestined and Wind-marked Moon have powerful physical combos, Predestined’s Attack was so high he could one-shot me and Lil Beiming with just one combo. There’s almost nothing we could do in that situation.”
Li Chengfeng smiled. “Why don’t you try parrying with your weapons?”
“It’s weird. We’re ranged classes, you know…”
“Well that’s true, haha!”
Our faces were dead serious when we were teleported into the tournament ring again. The countdown began anew—
3!
2!
1!
Second round, begin!
Li Chengfeng said quickly, “This time, vice leader should take the fight to them and tear apart their fighters and assassins. I’ll work together with Eve and Beiming to burst down Predestined.”
“Okay!”
I gripped the Heaven-stealing Sword and carried out Li Chengfeng’s instructions. Teamwork was very important, and selfish acts would only result in a loss. This was especially true against a super-powerful party like Fate.
Whoosh!
I activated Thunderous Charge and blitzed toward the enemy archer. Let’s take out the softest target first!
Hero In A Dream moved backward and dodged my Charge with well-practiced movements. However, I already predicted that the skill would miss. Just like last time, I ran forward with the momentum and fired Thousand Ice Slash at him!
Boom!
Hero In A Dream used Leap and dodged that skill as well. Thousand Ice Slash’s only flaw was that its attack range was too short. It couldn’t be helped, the skill would be downright broken otherwise.
I wasn’t done yet. I raised my arm and flung out a Dragon Slaying Slash!
Swhoosh!
Hero In A Dream wasn’t expecting this, so the skill hit him squarely and elicited a cry of pain!
5124!
However, Rebirth calmly waved his scepter and launched a Fire Dragon Spell at me!
Roar!
A wave of heat washed across my body as the fire dragon engulfed me from above. The next moment, a huge damage number rose from my head—3107!
Holy shit, this mage is quite powerful! Not many people could hit me for this amount of damage!
Meanwhile, Li Chengfeng was clashing swords with Predestined, and He Yi was swinging her Soul Stealing Spear at the assassin Death Of Dying Words. However, the assassin had almost perfect control, and he was able to dodge He Yi’s attacks and swing his dagger toward he Yi’s chest.
He Yi gritted her teeth and turned her waist. At the same time, she raised her right arm to block the attack with the Ice Soul Barrier. He Yi lost less than 500 HP, but Death Of Dying Words’ movement speed was slowed drastically because of the property of Ice Soul Barrier!
This was Beiming Xue’s chance. She loosed three arrows in a row and successfully one-shot the assassin where he stood!
I raised the Heaven-stealing Sword in front of He Yi and knocked away Blaze Knight’s attack. At the same time, I ordered, “Li Chengfeng, hold down Rebirth!”
“Okay!”
Li Chengfeng immediately charged the mage. It was a miss as we all expected it to be, but that was fine. All he needed to do was pressure him and keep his damage output in check.
Predestined hit He Yi’s shield multiple times before pulling back and drinking a health potion. He yelled, “Wind-marked, take down Lu Chen first! From Water’s Defense is too high, and hitting her slows you down! We can’t kill her!”
Blaze Knight nodded, but it was already too late. I rushed toward him like lightning and hit his shield three times in a row, and because my Attack was ridiculously high, he lost almost 7000 HP.
