Chapter 563: For Our Brothers and Sisters (2/2)
……
Gui Guzi activated Charge the second the countdown reached zero. Farewell Song reacted even better and turned invisible at the same time as he jumped backward. It was like jumping backward and shooting a basketball at the same time. It was impossible for a noob to perform this technique properly.
The Armored Swordback Dragon and Gui Guzi roared at the same time as the Rainbow Spear passed through the air where Farewell Song was a moment ago. He then followed up with Death Combo immediately!
Pu pu pu...
Three spear beams pierced the air around him. Unfortunately, Gui Guzi failed to predict Farewell Song’s location and missed completely.
“Hmm?”
Gui Guzi let out a soft cry of alarm before spinning around and swinging his spear horizontally, successfully parrying Farewell Song’s dagger before it could hit him. Unfortunately, his reaction speed was a tad slower than the assassin’s, and he couldn’t react in time when Farewell Song crouched into a charge and left a bloody mark across his chest after the parry!
It was Cold Poison Strike, and Gui Guzi was stunned for 3 seconds!
During these three seconds, Farewell Song activated Encourage VII and hit Gui Guzi with a Blade Vortex + Bloodbreak Eviscerate combo, penetrating much of his defense and deleting a lot of HP—
4893!
5012!
4928!
8904!
The individual hits weren’t deadly, but together they most definitely were. That one combo had dealt over 20k damage to Gui Guzi in an instant, and without a Famous General Skill to buff him, the magic knight’s HP didn’t even exceed 40k HP.
Crack crack!
Farewell Song continued hitting Gui Guzi with basic attacks after his combo was over, but the damage number rising above the magic knight’s head—1092, 982 and 1128—were much weaker. As expected, Farewell Song was incapable of breaking through Gui Guzi’s Defense without using his skills.
Three seconds passed by quickly, and Gui Guzi was as ready as he could be. The second he broke out of the stun, he immediately unleashed a fiery Barrier Break. It was GG for Farewell Song if he managed to land the hit.
However, Farewell Song changed his Famous General Skill to “Sneak Attack” and stepped toward Gui Guzi’s right flank like a slippery eel. Then, he used a Silent Punch and stunned Gui Guzi for another second.
That was all the time he needed to throw out a fluorescent powder and vanish into thin air again.
……
“Motherfucker!”
Gui Guzi was pissed off, but the series of failures deflated him a little. After performing a 360-degree swing with his spear to no avail, he used War God Recovery to heal himself quickly.
“Oh no…” I muttered to myself.
Beiming Xue caught my muttering and asked, “What’s wrong, big bro? The fight hasn’t been decided yet, right?”
I replied solemnly, “No, it’s over. Gui Guzi is the type who couldn’t unleash even 50% of his normal strength if he loses his cool, just like the time he was killed by Lin Yixin. Worse, his opponent is the top-tier expert, Farewell Song. It’ll be a miracle if he wins this…”
Beiming Xue’s mouth fell open in shock. “No…”
……
On the screen, Gui Guzi used Knight’s Outrage in an attempt to break Farewell Song out of stealth, but he failed. The moment the skill vanished, Farewell Song reappeared and stunned Gui Guzi again with Cold Poison Strike. But unlike last time, the assassin kicked off his assault with a Poisoned Weapon to reduce Gui Guzi’s vision.
After that, he activated Shadow Dance to give himself a massive boost to movement speed and went wild on Gui Guzi with the butterfly maneuver. Paying no regard to Gui Guzi’s counterattack whatsoever, his twin daggers kept plunging into the Undying Knight’s flesh and tearing away at his life like a vengeful spirit. Gui Guzi was stunned three times in less than five minutes, and not even the thickest armor in the world could endure such devastation.
In the end, Gui Guzi let out a muffled groan and collapsed to the ground in defeat!
The score turned to 1-0 in favor of Warsky Alliance, putting a bright smile on the face of the Pepsi team leader, yet another beautiful woman. It was no easy feat to score a point off Gui Guzi, and if the challenger had been anyone else beside the 11th CGL ranker Farewell Song, they might not have been able to score a win.
I couldn’t help but sigh on the inside. This match list was just too much in favor of Warsky Alliance. Right now, my biggest worry was the possibility of the match being over before I even got to fight a round. A humiliating 0-4 defeat was quite the real possibility considering the ridiculously unlucky match-ups we were dealt with.
The door to Battle Room A opened, and Gui Guzi walked out with an ugly expression on his face.
I gave him a consoling pat on the shoulder before saying, “Victory and defeat are commonplace for people like us, and it’s no shame losing to Farewell Song. Even my chances of winning against him cannot be more than 60%.”
Gui Guzi nodded before replying, “I know, but I swear I’ll beat him someday!”
“You will!”
It was time for the next round to begin, and this time it was Warsky versus High Fighting Spirits. Again, I was worried that our Berserker couldn’t win. High Fighting Spirits was first-rate, but no super-tier expert. On the other hand, Warsky was a hardcore player who got to train with super experts like Farewell Song, October Rain, and Laughing At The Heavens for a very, very long time. Even if his PvP skills were subpar before, that was no longer the case now. Warsky was currently ranked 15th in the champion arena, and that alone was proof that he was no small fry!
“Give it your all, Fighting Spirits!” I gave him an encouraging smile. “For our brothers and sisters!”
