Chapter 79: Players’ Heaven-defying Creativity
Crimson Moon Mountain, spectator area.
The start of the death match made the nearly ten thousand people at the mountaintop all focus their gaze on the White Feather Gang, and each of them could not help but suck in a cold breath.
“Brother Hou Fei, what is the White Feather Gang planning to do?” The tall woman of the Crystal Race stared fixedly at the fifty people of the White Feather Gang, her beautiful eyes full of shock. “In a death match that is certain to be won, sending out four Limit Apprentices and two Limit Quasi-Martial Artists is already excessive, but they actually sent fourteen Advanced Apprentices, and the others are all Intermediate Apprentices. This is too outrageous.”
Among the wilderness gangs, a major gang ranked in the top fifty, even if you exclude the two Limit Quasi-Martial Artists and send out all its experts, would still struggle to field such a dazzling lineup.
In contrast, among the fifty people on the Gray Robe Gang’s side, the strongest were only four Advanced Apprentices and sixteen Intermediate Apprentices, and the twenty people sent by the Green Sparrow Gang were even more like filler.
Facing such a lineup from the Gray Robe Gang, the White Feather Gang actually did not need to be this serious at all; it was like using a cannon to hit a mosquito.
“What else could the White Feather Gang be thinking? They are just showing the other gangs and vagrants the outcome of becoming enemies of the White Feather Gang. Even if the opponent is very weak, they will show no mercy and go all out.” Hou Fei sighed softly, glanced at Lin Qi on the spectator platform with deep puzzlement. “I really don’t know what that leader of the Gray Robe Gang is thinking, insisting on burying these people.”
Under normal circumstances, four Advanced Apprentices and sixteen Intermediate Apprentices would barely reach the level of a major gang among wilderness gangs, but in front of the White Feather Gang, this bit of strength was nothing at all.
While the two of them were talking, both sides in the death match area arrived at a spot less than fifty meters apart.
“Sister Wu, Old Zhen, how are we splitting these people?” Yi Ye Fu Yun swept a glance over the White Feather Gang’s lineup and asked excitedly, “In this plot battle there are actually two bosses and four elites. Our three teams simply cannot split them evenly into three shares.”
“That’s simple.” Fang Zhen also laughed. “Whoever takes down an elite first gets to choose one boss. Whoever takes down an elite second will deal with the remaining boss. The last elite will be left to the remaining team. How about that?”
“No problem on our side.” Luo Wu Shang nodded. “As long as your two teams do not go back on your word.”
“Good, then it’s settled.” Fang Zhen looked at the two who agreed and added, “Also, if a team is wiped out by a boss, then the other teams will act according to their own abilities.”
“No problem for me.” Yi Ye Fu Yun could not help but laugh loudly. “In that case, we will take the elite on the far right for our team.”
With that, Yi Ye Fu Yun led his team straight toward the White Feather Gang’s Limit Apprentice.
“Old Ye! You shameless guy!” Seeing Yi Ye Fu Yun move first, Fang Zhen hurriedly led his people to charge toward the nearest Limit Apprentice.
“Wu Shang, you are being that generous. If those two teams end up not getting a boss, don’t regret it later.” Zhang Qing Wei looked at Luo Wu Shang, who still had not moved, and could not help but shake her head.
“Our team has you and me, two Advanced Apprentices. One of their two teams doesn’t even have an Advanced Apprentice. It’s only right to yield a bit, or this competition would be too boring.” Luo Wu Shang smiled faintly, her gaze turning to the two bosses of the White Feather Gang. “I originally thought this team dungeon would have only one boss. I didn’t expect the game manufacturer to be this considerate and make it a double boss fight. This way, it won’t look like we are hogging everything and give the other teams cause for complaint.”
While the three player teams finished assigning their targets, on the opposite hillside the experts of the White Feather Gang all wore dark expressions, especially the four Limit Apprentices and the two Limit Quasi-Martial Artists.
“These Gray Robe Gang people are really bold. They actually treat us as prey one by one.” Bot, carrying a great hammer, was amused and angered when he heard the three teams chatting. “Atley, should we make a move?”
Although Luo Wu Shang and the other two were not speaking loudly, they did not deliberately lower their voices either. At a distance of fifty meters, their words could be clearly heard by Limit Apprentices with sharp senses, let alone by Limit Quasi-Martial Artists.
Back then, when he alone faced a siege from gangs ranked in the top hundred, every gang had to go all out. Now that he had become a Limit Quasi-Martial Artist, he was instead underestimated by a bunch of kids. Right in front of them, they were turned into cake to be divided up by the Gray Robe Gang, treated as if they did not exist at all.
“Since these kids are seeking death, we might as well fulfill their wish.” Heavy shield Atley gave a cold command. “You go take care of the others and bring those three leaders over. I want to see whether these kids can still act this relaxed later.”
The three teams were acting as if whoever killed a Limit Apprentice first would then go deal with the two of them, the Limit Quasi-Martial Artists, and that no one else was allowed to interfere in the battle unless they died. With this attitude of completely disregarding the two of them, he was going to teach the four of them what fear meant.
It was just like those challengers from before, as if they really thought the two of them had grown old, so that a few Advanced Apprentices, and even Intermediate Apprentices, no longer took them seriously.
“Yes!”
The four Limit Apprentices also understood that the two were angry.
Immediately, the four Limit Apprentices each led people to charge toward the three teams, intending to first give these ignorant apprentices a lesson.
“These four elites are pretty smart, actually targeting us. What do we do now?” Fang Zhen looked at the four rushing Limit Apprentices with a bit of a headache. “If we kill all four elites, there will be no elites left to share for the remaining teams.”
“That’s easy. Leave the last elite hanging on with one breath and let the remaining people finish it off.” Yi Ye Fu Yun said confidently.
“Fine, let’s do that.” Luo Wu Shang did not object.
But this brief exchange directly made the four Limit Apprentices furious to the point of laughter. So in their eyes, these Limit Apprentices were just sheep to be slaughtered at any time, the only question being whether they felt like killing them.
“You are looking for death!”
The leading Limit Apprentice, at the very front, lifted his spear and thrust straight at Yi Ye Fu Yun.
Apprentice-level martial skill: shadow snake!
It not only doubled strength, but also made the attack nimble and ever-changing, with an untraceable trajectory.
A dark blur flashed, and the completely untrackable spear shadow stabbed directly at Yi Ye Fu Yun’s shoulder, intending to first cripple one of his arms.
“Perfect timing!”
Although Yi Ye Fu Yun was an Intermediate Apprentice, facing a thrust with nearly 1,800 kilograms of strength, he was not anxious in the slightest. With a turn of his B2-grade spear together with his body, he unleashed Spiral Demon Spear Kill to meet it head-on.
After six days of frenzied training, Yi Ye Fu Yun’s Spiral Demon Spear Kill had become completely different, and it was now his greatest trump card.
Previously, after integrating Crushing Stone Fist into Spiral Demon Spear Kill, Yi Ye Fu Yun felt he could also merge Lightning Palm into it. So after six days of effort, he finally fused Lightning Palm into Spiral Demon Spear Kill.
This fusion brought a qualitative change to Spiral Demon Spear Kill, pushing it to Rank Five, 63%, with its explosive power soaring to 3 times, putting his burst strength back into the first tier.
Because he had been obsessively studying the new Spiral Demon Spear Kill, his breathing technique training had slowed down, so he had not reached Advanced Apprentice level. However, his base strength had already reached 525 kilograms; with a 3-times power boost, his strength could reach 2,257 kilograms, and it carried lightning internal force.
For a moment, Yi Ye Fu Yun seemed like a bolt of lightning, striking straight at that Limit Apprentice.
Boom!
That Limit Apprentice did not even have time to react before his spear was knocked from his hand. Fortunately, his reaction was fast, and at the last split second he avoided a vital point, only letting his arm be grazed slightly by Spiral Demon Spear Kill.
But that slight graze made everyone in the spectator area suck in a cold breath.
They saw that Limit Apprentice’s arm twisted into several segments, blood gushing out, and even his A6-grade armor bore many deep scratches.
“How is that possible!”
“An Intermediate Apprentice injured a Limit Apprentice with just one move?”
At this moment in the spectator area, not to mention the many vagrants who had come to watch the show, even the Limit Apprentice-level experts and Quasi-Martial Artists all had looks of unconcealed shock on their faces.
Before they could recover from their shock, a graceful figure appeared beside that Limit Apprentice. The two long swords in her hands carried the might of thunder as they suddenly cleaved down.
“Get lost!”
Seeing that his attacker was a woman, the Limit Apprentice could no longer evade, but he did not dare be careless. With his uninjured arm, he knocked aside one sword while he retreated violently, dodging the strike from the other sword.
Just as he dodged both sword attacks, at some point another long sword had appeared, hovering behind the woman. It slashed through the air at the Limit Apprentice.
Although this strike did not carry much force, at most three to four hundred kilograms, it was delivered with a B2-grade standard long sword, which easily cleaved down from above, splitting the Limit Apprentice’s A6-grade armor and head in two, leaving him utterly dead.
Even as he died, that Limit Apprentice’s eyes were filled with deep confusion.
He could not understand how the woman’s third sword could move by itself, even floating in midair. Was such swordsmanship really something a human could use?
