Chapter 518: TCL’s Outrageous Contract Deal (2/2)

I went online and appeared in Sky City. I saw Beiming Xue was running towards me with the Blazing Shadow Bow in hand. She smiled and said, “Big bro, add me to your party…”

“Alright.”

I added Beiming Xue to my party and activated Martial God before I opened up the arena interface. I chose the team arena option and the leaderboard popped up as well. To my utter surprise, I saw that the team ranked first on the board was Stranger of Three Lifetimes and Eyes Like Water. I had never expected the players of Vanished God City to show out like this and take first place in the team arena. However, the players who challenged the champion arena were all coming for that crown right now, so Stranger of Three Lifetimes might not be able to hold on to that top spot for too long.

Light flashed in front of my eyes before Beiming Xue and I were teleported to one of the arena waiting rooms. The two of us looked out of the window to see countless arenas scattered across the area. We would soon be participating in endless battles in these stadiums.

“Are you ready, Beiming? I’m about to start looking for a match…”

“Yeah, I’m good to go. Big bro, let’s begin!”

“OK，GOGO！”

“Okay! Go, go, go!”

We shared a smile before I pressed down on the “Fight” button. Before even a second passed, we heard the ringing sound of the system notice.

Ding~!

System Notice: Hello, your team has been successfully matched with the players “Nine Hells” and “Hotspring”! The battle will commence in 5 seconds!

We were teleported into the arena after that. Okay, there were two fighters standing in front of us. One was a Level 117 magic knight and the other was a Level 116 wanderer. Both of them were mounted on identical mountain rams. I had seen these mounts before because there were quite a few players in Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls who were riding on these things. They were significantly lousier than the Fireblade Warhorses, but they were better than nothing. As Dark Steel-grade mounts, they still added a significant amount of stats and it was way better than running on the ground like a trooper.

Rustle...

Beiming Xue’s battle senses were extraordinary, so she immediately flew backwards and raised her bow the moment she entered the arena. Her beautiful blood-red eyes were fixed on the other team and she looked as if she was ready to let fly.

I didn’t bother to say anything. I simply raised the Heaven-stealing Sword high in the air and charged towards the enemy team. As I rushed towards Nine Hells, I waved my hand in the air. My God Binding Art howled in the air as four divine weapons fell from the sky and bound Hotsprings in place.

Hmmm, the God Binding Art had a rather long channeling time, so it was pretty useless against experts like Moonkiss and Luo River God of the Capital. They would dodge this skill about 90% of the time. However, it became a cheat code in my hands when we were up against noobs like this.

Bang!

I smashed straight into Nine Hells, causing the magic knight’s mountain ram to bleat frantically. As his eyes widened in shock, my Heaven-stealing Sword shot towards him, a spiralling cone of indigo energy swirling on its tip. My attack pierced through his shield and broke through his defences. But I wasn’t done yet! I immediately followed that Universe Break with a Burning Blade Slash, causing three blazing crescents of sword energy to crash into my opponent. Four damage numbers flew up above his head as the flaming energy ate into his body.

19047!

5893!

8290!

13728!

Even a top magic knight like Gui Guzi might not be able to survive if I hit him with my full combo of Universe Break + Burning Blade Slash, so this second-rate magic knight in front of me didn’t stand a chance! As he let out a dull groan, Nine Hells toppled down from the back of his mountain ram. He had been killed in a single round of combat.

A look of complete and utter shock appeared on Hotspring’s face. Even though he was still bound by the God Binding Art, the wanderer’s eyes widened into saucers as he yelled, “What the hell! That’s way too insane! He killed him in a single combo? Nine Hells has twenty-four thousand HP!”

I couldn’t help but chuckle at Hotspring’s exclamation. Just my universe break alone had nearly one-shot him. In this day and age, a magic knight needed to have at least thirty thousand health to face someone like me. If not, he was shit out of luck.

On the other side, Beiming Xue was strumming the Blazing Shadow Bow. More than ten arrows whistled through the air as she unleashed a Spiralling Arrow Blade + Evil Spirit Volley combo and most of them pierced Hotspring’s chestplate. Even though Hotspring was also a rider, his health and defenses were a fair bit lousier than an average magic knight’s. So there was no way that he could withstand Beiming Xue’s attacks. He let out a wail of misery as he quickly followed his companion in death.

It was our complete victory!

We had a really easy time in our first team battle together and we had ended in less than fifteen seconds! I had one-shot the magic knight with a single charge and Beiming Xue had killed the bound Wanderer with a single combo as well. Our teamwork had been excellent.

After we were teleported out of the arena, Beiming Xue’s lips curved up into a smile. “Big bro, you’re so powerful. That God Binding Art is really incredible as well! Once you bind an opponent, it makes it so much easier for me to hit them with my Evil Spirit Volley…”

I laughed. “Yeah, it’ll be really easy for us at the beginning, but once our ranks have risen high enough and we start meeting opponents like Farewell Song, Laughing At The Heavens, and Dominating Heaven Blade, the success rate of my God Binding Art will start to fall dramatically. So we can’t pin our hopes on this skill. All you need to do is to match my movements. I’ll charge in and kill the enemy while you kite them. That is the royal road of winning these 2v2 matches.”

Beiming Xue nodded her head and laughed. After that, she replied in a cool and confident voice, “I got it. I’ll work hard to become the strongest two-man team with big bro! We definitely will!!”

“Yeah!”
