Chapter 403: Restraint Cast Aside (2/2)
The rest of the battle went more or less as expected. Hunting Moon Dynasty’s equipment wasn’t actually that much stronger than Gods of Destruction party’s. They just had very good teamwork and a unique strategy that they executed very well. Dominating Heaven Blade and his goons deserved to lose the round.
Another round later, the match ended with a perfect 2-0 in favor of Hunting Moon Dynasty!
No one had any doubt that Gods of Destruction guild’s ranking would fall off a cliff when the Guild Ranking of China was refreshed. It was an utter tragedy. If their era wasn’t over before, it was now!
……
Whoosh!
A fragrant scent brushed past my nose as Lin Yixin rose to her feet. Carrying her sports-style handbag in hand, she said, ”Heroes of Snowy Cathaya, it’s our turn to storm the stage!”
Shadow Chanel the Dark Tongue Mage, Purple Marquis the iron-blooded warrior, Clear Perfume the powerful archer, and Beauty At First Sight the Holy Bard followed their guild leader up the stage. When Lin Yixin stepped onto the stage—her natural youth and vibrance further accentuated by her sports suit—the audience instantly burst into thunderous applause. There were even people coiling their promotional posters into cones and shouting on top of their lungs, ”I love you, Wind Fantasy! I love you, Fruit Knife Goddess…”
I pursed my lips and thought: Fuck y’all...
Lin Yixin greeted Fei’er briefly before entering the battle room with her players. Surprisingly, their opponents, Return Of The King, were a bunch of uncles. One of them with a beer belly like a pregnant lady’s stomach snatched the mic from Fei’er’s hand and introduced himself. ”My name is Zeng Yingjun. I’ve played Legend in 2001, Dream in 2002 and WoW in 2003. These men beside me are all my comrades from back then! Now, we enter Heavenblessed to claim a corner of the world for ourselves! Vivid yet those crowded months and years. Young we were, schoolmates, at life's full flowering, filled with student enthusiasm. Boldly, we cast all restraints aside. Pointing to our mountains and rivers, setting people afire with our words, we counted the mighty no more than muck!”
Thud thud thud!
Instantly, Zeng Yingjun was hit by countless cola cans, keyboards, mice, Sloggi bras, Sofy sanitary napkins, Sinopec lubricant oils and so on. The poor dude and his teammates ran like hell into their battle room to avoid being murdered where they stood.
……
It was almost as if Zeng Yingjun had predicted the future, but all restraints were cast aside the moment both parties entered the battlefield!
Lin Yixin had activated her Famous General Skill, Bombshell, and increased all her party members’ stats by 40%. Even Clear Perfume, an archer, had almost 7000 HP. It didn’t take long for uncle Zeng Yingjun to realize that the archer he was trying to kill just wouldn’t die, while behind him the Fruit Knife Goddess was dancing across the stage and killing everyone like a beautiful butterfly. She had single-handedly obliterated the tragic party that was Return Of The King!
In fact, Shadow Chanel and Beauty At First Sight had no chance to perform. Lin Yixin and Purple Marquis had easily destroyed their enemy and ended the match with a clean 2-0. Snowy Cathaya’s performance in this battle was definitely commendable, and they were starting to look more and more like a true king of guilds.
Of course, everyone who made it this far were kings in their own right. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls was the king of the north side of Dragonbone Mountain Range, Candle Dragon was the king of the entire server, and Purple Lily was the king of the center of Wind City. The clash of kings was inevitable, but only one party would walk away the victor.
When Lin Yixin and her party members walked back to me, she asked with a smile, ”How did I do?”
I replied, ”It was absolutely fantastic!”
Her cheeks turned red. ”Fuck!”
In fact, I had a feeling that Lin Yixin had intentionally instructed Shadow Chanel and Beauty At First Sight to stay their hand. She was hoping to hide her party’s true strength as much as possible. If the Fruit Knife Goddess was the sword of Snowy Cathaya, then the Dark Tongue Mage and Holy Bard were their secret weapons. Naturally, you wouldn’t want to reveal and waste your secret weapons on meaningless battles!
……
The next match ended in a resounding 2-0 victory for The Monarch Descends, a rather mysterious party in my opinion. Finally, it was Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls Second Seed’s turn to fight.
Gui Guzi, Xu Yang, Chaos Moon, High Fighting Spirits, and Eighteen Steeds Of You and Yun went up the stage with their helmets. They muttered among themselves—
Gui Guzi: ”I heard that Zero Pitch Sonata is quite strong. Something must be working for them to make it into the LAN match with two mages and three archers!”
Xu Yang: ”Calm down, we will win this…”
High Fighting Spirits asked, ”By the way, why did we name our party ‘Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls Second Seed’, or ASDSSS? That’s a bit too many ‘S’ for my liking, if you get what I mean… we should’ve called ourselves Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls Imperial Guard or something…”
Xu Yang curled his lips. ”Little Gui’s the one who came up with that name. It has nothing to do with me…”
Chaos Moon: ”Sigh. No wonder Du Thirteen often said that Gui Guzi is an S, but in this case, S stands for stupid instead of sadist…”
Gui Guzi: ”I… ah, fuck me…”
Eighteen Steeds Of You and Yun laughed. ”Alright alright, focus. Let’s take out this full long-range party as soon as possible. It so happens that we are all melee classes, so this shouldn’t be too difficult. The match is being broadcast live on CCTV-5, right? Let’s show the players of China what melee fighters can do! No matter how strong they are, we will break apart their formation and destroy them!”
”In that case, let’s do it like this!” Gui Guzi nodded with a smile. ”I’ll Charge first and draw their firepower. The rest of you lock onto a target each and chase them until they die. Don’t give them a chance to focus fire on any of us. We cannot be the party to smear Boss Broken Halberd and the guild’s names, okay?”
High Fighting Spirits: ”Got it. Get ready, everyone!”
