In short, such an outcome was something to rejoice over. Compared to the pitiful players who had been brainwashed by the Bishop of Virtuality without anyone knowing, WindWithoutTrace was considered extremely lucky.
However, it did not seem like everything was over. This was because Princess Xiao Xiao had raised her crystal bow once again. She nocked a crystal arrow and pulled the bowstring.
Upon seeing this, everyone could not help but fall silent.
"Since everyone is here, let's quickly end this boring match."
Princess Xiao Xiao's cold voice broke the joyous atmosphere that lasted less than a minute.
The three-man team's smile froze. The audience was stunned for a moment before they reacted. WindWithoutTrace's encounter and the heaviness brought about by the Church of Virtuality had nearly made them forget that all of this was just a virtual competition!
Just as Princess Xiao Xiao had said, the nature of the competition itself made it boring. It was just an exhibition match with some competitive elements. Although it would affect the performance of the branch, and the winner would be rewarded with rewards and honor, that was all there was to it.
Compared to the Church of Virtuality, compared to terrorist organizations, compared to the natural and man-made disasters that had plunged an entire generation into despair, such a competition was just too trivial. As it was nearly meaningless, it appeared extremely boring.
Watching or participating in such a virtual competition was nothing more than finding so-called fun in the meaningless and boring competition. It was used to comfort one's heart that found it difficult to be happy due to reality.
Now, Xiao Xiao wanted to end this boring competition.
How was she going to end it?
Xiao Xiao used her bow and arrow to answer.
Without any hesitation, she released her hand and the bowstring snapped. The arrow shot out as a violent and swift red beam shot out! The red beam stirred up a dust storm as it tore open a red rift in space, bringing with it an explosive and sharp whistling sound.
This was Crimson Netherworld!
Everyone stared with widened eyes. They were enlightened but also extremely shocked. They were enlightened because they understood that Princess Xiao Xiao wanted to end the competition. She was planning to use victory to put an end to the competition. And what shocked them was that the arrow's target was Shi Xiaobai!
"Quickly dodge!"
In the commentator stands, Sweets could not help but exclaim.
This arrow was not without warning because when Xiao Xiao raised her bow and arrow, she had already aimed it at Shi Xiaobai. However, Shi Xiaobai had his head lowered to look at the knife in his hand, as though his soul was not present.
And at this moment, when the Netherworld Arrow shot at him, Shi Xiaobai remained standing in his spot. He did not have any intention of dodging!
Boom!
The explosion of the red beam resounded as dust flew up. The crystal arrow had penetrated Shi Xiaobai's chest and sent his frail body flying backwards. He continuously slammed into several trees and was instantly engulfed by the lush green forest. Finally, he was fixed on an old, ancient tree.
The camera zoomed in and saw Shi Xiaobai pinned to an old tree trunk by a crystal arrow!
This arrow directly penetrated Shi Xiaobai's body. The force of the arrow sent him flying more than ten meters before finally nailing him to a tree trunk. Boiling blood spewed out of his chest, dripping onto the grayish-brown tree bark and the blackish-yellow soil.
Due to the high degree of simulation, even though it was a virtual world, the bloody scene was still extremely realistic. It was suffocating, as if they were really witnessing death.
The director hurriedly switched the camera as the scene on the screen changed to Princess Xiao Xiao's ethereal figure that resembled a banished fairy. She glanced lightly in the direction where Shi Xiaobai was sent flying with a look of disappointment in her eyes.
.....
Xiao Xiao was indeed somewhat disappointed. Due to her academic mission, she needed to cultivate "Crimson Netherworld" to the Exemplary Mastery realm. Under her grandfather's suggestion, she had taken the weekend off to participate in the weekly competition organized by the Battle Arena Corporation. She had even personally set up a rule that allowed six to fight one. Her goal was naturally to increase her proficiency in her offensive skill through battle.
At this moment, however, she was disappointed to find that these six contestants were too weak for her. Targets that could be easily destroyed would not improve her strength at all. What she needed were evenly matched opponents and an anxious and tangled battle.
Unfortunately, none of the six contestants were the opponents she was looking for. Not a single one of them.
She originally believed that IChooseDogLeading, who had made a shocking declaration before the battle, would be a pretty good opponent, but she never expected that he did not even have the courage to dodge. Although she had used Crimson Netherworld for this arrow, was there a need to be so frightened that he stood there motionless?
Xiao Xiao turned to look at the dumbfounded three-man team and said with a sigh, "Although it's a boring match, can you please put up a little resistance, alright?"
With this said, the three-man team's breathing stagnated, but they immediately reacted. Princess Xiao Xiao was right. The match that had shocked them time and time again had yet to determine the victor. They could still put up a little resistance!
But …
GunfireInTheWorld thought of his wallet that had been emptied of bullets and immediately turned to run!
DualBladesToTraverseTheWorld recalled that one of his sabers had been broken, while the other had been lent to Shi Xiaobai. Now that he was unarmed, he immediately turned to run!
That TenderOneShot thought that exposing oneself to the enemy was the greatest taboo for a sniper, so he also turned to run!
Although it might be a boring match, there had to be a victor in a match. The contestants had to work hard for victory, so the three-man team did not choose to give up!
However, knowing that they were no match, they did not choose to put up a stubborn resistance. At this moment, they very rationally chose … to temporarily retreat!
"Pfft."
At this moment, quite a number of people burst out laughing.
The three figures that fled in different directions left the audience dumbfounded. They found it amusing as they instantly recovered from the sadness of God DogLeading's death. They also gradually felt the heaviness that the Church of Virtuality brought to them.
Wasn't watching a virtual competition to relax?
The way the three-man team fled in unison gave the audience a relaxed feeling of enjoying the match.
Biscuit could not help but say with a smile, "Everyone, the match has just begun!"
Before Biscuit finished his sentence, three red beams of light shot out. Three explosions boomed, and following that, three systems' voices resounded in the sky.
"Contestant 'GunfireInTheWorld' is eliminated!"
"Contestant 'DualBladesToTraverseTheWorld' is eliminated!"
"Contestant 'TenderOneShot' is eliminated!"
Biscuit's voice came to a halt as the audience's smiles froze.
Everyone's eyes simultaneously landed on the bow-wielding girl. Her otherworldly bearing made her look like a fairy that had descended into the mortal world. Her white lace dress and stylish and simple attire made her look like a beautiful princess.
However, this princess fairy-like girl had shattered the virus black cocoon with four arrows and killed four contestants with four arrows. She was like an existence akin to a demon king!
Xiao Xiao's eyes were somewhat cold. The eight shots of Crimson Netherworld had not improved her at all. It was equivalent to shooting a fixed target, which made her feel vexed. She, who always cherished her time, felt a tinge of anger at wasting her time on such a boring and meaningless match.
"What was I looking forward to?"
Xiao Xiao shook her head and laughed. She had the hope of meeting an opponent that was her equal in strength in the virtual world, allowing her to have a hearty battle. Hence, she had agreed to her grandfather's suggestion. Speaking of which, it was also her fault.
Her fault was that she should not have had such expectations from the beginning. If that was the case, she would not have felt anger from disappointment or regret her wrong choice.
Xiao Xiao put away her crystal bow and prepared to quit the game. Now, she only needed to shoot the unconscious WindWithoutTrace to obtain victory. However, doing so would cause WindWithoutTrace to suffer mental damage. She did not care about the outcome of the match, so quitting the game was the best choice.
Upon seeing this, Biscuit could not help but sigh and say, "The match is over."
The match was over.
Was the match really over?
"Hehe, Girl, can you give This King another hundred of such arrows?"
A weak voice resounded as a limping figure slowly walked out of the forest.
