Under the effect of the [Assembly Magic], Xiao Ling's firearms were instantly disassembled and reassembled into a single entity.
The appearance of this thing … Well, it looked like an exaggerated engine that only appeared in cartoons. It had a punk feel to it, and at the end of the "engine" was a part that looked like a cannon barrel. It was as if it was trying to show that it was actually a weapon.
Instead of calling it an "assembly gun," it was more like a "super heavy and super complicated hand cannon." When a player held it in his hand, it looked like a giant chainsaw from afar.
"Phew …" After Xiao Ling assembled the hand cannon, she took a deep breath and bent down to pick it up. After all, she was not a fighter, and her Strength was slightly lacking. It was impossible for her to pick up such a huge object so easily.
While she was doing all this, Bemonstan did not stay idle. When he saw that the interval between shots that he had calculated was almost up, but the fourth shot was still not coming, he knew that his opponent had changed their attack method after seeing his "Psychic Mutation" form.
Hence, Bemonstan made his move. He immediately ran in a different direction from Jadon and sped up.
Bemonstan's train of thought was this: No matter what weapon his opponent used, the further he ran, the lower the damage and accuracy of the gun would be. That was for sure. Besides, with the [Air Elemental], his maximum HP and physical defense had increased tremendously. Even if he was hit by a sniper rifle that was more powerful than the penetrating bullet from before, he was confident that he would not be killed in one shot. If everything went well, he might be able to cover Jadon's escape while he escaped from the enemy's shooting range in another direction, dragging the battle into a protracted battle.
Of course, that was just his idea.
Xiao Ling did not care about that. In this world, there was something called a cannon that had a much longer range than a gun. The cannon's projectile moved in a parabola. Even if you ran out of the enemy's line of sight, the cannon would still hit you.
Boom!
About ten seconds after Bemonstan started to run, the cannon roared.
The fact that Xiao Ling took so long to aim at him meant that the distance between them was indeed quite far. It also meant that Bemonstan's movement speed was not slow. However, since Xiao Ling fired the cannon, it meant that she was confident in her actions.
A blazing white energy bullet flew out from the cannon and pierced through the sky, leaving a trail of heat in the air as it headed straight for the target.
After the mutation, Bemonstan's senses had become much sharper (that was why he could catch Xiao Tan's arrow). As he ran, he quickly felt the energy approaching him from behind.
At that moment, he did not even need to look back to confirm. He stepped sideways and suddenly flashed more than five meters to his left.
Bemonstan's response was indeed brilliant. In any case, it would take a few seconds for the cannon to fly over. Even the best gunner, who had calculated the time to fire, would aim at "the target that was moving in a straight line at a constant speed a few seconds ago." As long as the target changed direction before the cannon "flew out and landed," it would be meaningless no matter how accurate the gunner's aim was.
However, Bemonstan never thought that the real function of the energy bullet was …
Buzz!
Just when the cannon was about thirty meters away from the ground, with a buzz, the blazing white light suddenly exploded and turned into … Xiao Ling.
"What!" Bemonstan, who was retreating while waiting for the cannon to land, turned his head to look at the sky. When he saw the figure of his opponent, he was obviously shocked.
A few seconds later, Bemonstan realized that his opponent had not fired a "Destruction Bullet," but a "Teleportation Bullet!"
This method of allowing the player to teleport to the location of the cannon was naturally a skill. However, because this was an ability that Xiao Ling had only mastered in the past month, it was impossible to know that she had such a skill just by looking at the S2 video.
"Hehe …" Xiao Ling, who suddenly appeared in mid-air, looked at the shocked expression on her opponent's face and knew that her surprise attack was half successful. She could not help but smile.
The next second, she had activated [Assembly Magic] again and disassembled the hand cannon into four or five guns. Then, she grabbed two of them and raised her hand to shoot.
Bang, bang, bang …
Tut tut tut tut …
Two different gunshots rang out at the same time. Before the shells fell to the ground, Bemonstan, who was still moving, had been shot more than ten times, and each of them … was a special bullet with a high price.
But! After all, Bemonstan was a player with 70 to 80 Hidden Points and a level close to 60. Moreover, he had transformed to strengthen his defense. Therefore, Xiao Ling's tactic, which was able to suppress the blade during the S2 game, was no longer able to kill Bemonstan.
"He's pretty good at taking a beating …" Xiao Ling thought to herself.
At this time, she had not yet landed. Due to inertia, she and the guns that she had disassembled were now moving along the flight path of the previous "Teleportation Bullet," roughly falling diagonally.
Seeing that the mid-range shooting was not effective, Xiao Ling changed her tactic at the last minute in the air. Without hesitation, she threw away the submachine gun and pistol in her hand and accurately grabbed the other two guns that had fallen to the ground beside her. Then, she fired an [Explosive Shot] diagonally above herself.
The purpose of using this skill was, of course, not to hit the birds in the sky, but to use the reaction force of this skill to change the trajectory of her fall and carry out an explosive push.
Sure enough, the sound of gunshots, shadows, and dazzling flames pushed Xiao Ling, who was in mid-air, toward Bemonstan.
"What the hell is she doing?" Bemonstan was a little dissatisfied when he saw this. "How dare a marksmanship expert challenge me to a melee fight … Hmph … Don't think that I'll go easy on you just because you're a beauty."
With that thought in mind, he got into a stance and prepared to fight back.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Ling's speed was much faster than he had expected. Her small figure was as fast as a bullet, and she arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye. Before Bemonstan could complete his defensive stance, she had already launched a [Gunfighting 14 Styles — Jump] at him.
When Bemonstan's face was stepped on by Xiao Ling and he fell to the ground with his limbs in the air, this sentence flashed in his mind. "Ahh … Speaking of which, I'm not a player who specializes in fighting. I just cast a Sorcery transformation skill and I got a little carried away …"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Before he could finish lamenting, Xiao Ling had already stepped on his head and fired a few shots at his body with the two different types of shotguns in her hands. The bullets were supposed to scatter, but at this distance, they hit Bemonstan's stomach without missing a single one.
About two seconds later, Jadon, who was on the other side, received the system notification that his teammate had died.
"Damn it … Is it still not enough?"
When he turned around to run, Jadon thought that Bemonstan would be killed in an instant. To his surprise, after running for a while, he still did not receive the notification of his teammate's death. This gave him a glimmer of hope.
Unfortunately, in less than a minute, he finally received the notification that his teammate had been killed.
Whoosh —
Just when Jadon was frustrated by the notification, he suddenly heard the sound of something rushing through the air behind him.
If Xiao Ling's movement was like an explosive bullet, then Xiao Tan's movement was like a soundless arrow. Moreover, it was the kind of arrow that never lost its momentum.
When Jadon heard the sound, he knew that someone had attacked him from behind. He immediately turned around and launched a counterattack.
Judging from Jadon's ID, it was obvious that he was an experienced beta tester. As the leader of a team, there was no doubt about his strength. A character with S-Level Combat Mastery and A-Level Sorcery Mastery was definitely not weak in close-range combat.
Besides, just like Xiao Tan's [Altair's Touch], Jadon's main weapon was a "composite weapon" that was equipped on his hands. However, Jadon did not use the assassin's hidden sword or hidden arrow. Instead, he used a pair of asymmetrical gloves called [Laixilu's Grip].
Under normal circumstances, the left hand of this equipment was a black fingerless glove that was slightly bigger than a normal glove. The right hand was more like a black "armguard" that covered the elbow. Once he entered combat mode, the left hand would remain the same, but the right hand would suddenly swell together with the arm. When that happened, his right forearm would become as thick as Hulk's arm. The black armor on the outside would also swell, and the "fist" at the front would turn into a big red iron fist.
Right now, Jadon was using his thickened right hand to block Xiao Tan's attack.
In the end, there was a "clang" sound.
As sparks flew, the two of them passed by each other. A second later, Xiao Tan appeared about ten meters away from Jadon and confronted him.
"As expected of a team leader …" Xiao Tan lowered his head and looked at his wrist. He moved it a few times and said, "My entire hand is numb from the shock."
"Well said." Jadon glanced at the white mark on his vambrace and said, "For an assassin … your attack power is not bad. You are indeed worthy of being a former Hell …"
Whoosh —
Before he could finish, Xiao Tan raised his hand and threw a hidden arrow at him.
"Hey, hey …" Jadon was different from Bemonstein. Even without any enhancement, he could still block this kind of attack. "Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished talking." As he spoke, he calmly caught the flying hidden arrow with his left hand and broke it in half.
"This kind of battle … There's no need to drag it out for too long," Xiao Tan replied. "According to my observation, it's going to be done in less than three seconds."
"Huh?" Jadon's expression changed slightly. "What are you talking about? What did you observe? And … what are you going to do in less than three seconds? My life? There's a limit to looking down on others … With my close combat ability, even if your team leader, Feng Bujue, is here, it's impossible for him to … "
Hiss —
His words were cut off again.
The sound of blood spurting out from his throat was very pleasant to the ear, like the sound of wind blowing through wheat.
At this moment, Jadon looked forward with a blank face. He did not know when … Xiao Tan was no longer in his sight. What made him even more frightened was that … he did not even know when his throat was pierced.
"The attack from behind you tested your reaction speed and defensive ability …" At this time, Xiao Tan's voice slowly sounded from behind Jadon. "The hidden arrow shot from the front was to test if you have the kind of 'automatic reaction' defense." He paused. "This is' observation. '"
As he spoke, Jadon quickly used his left hand to cover his throat and deactivated the transformation of his right hand. He frantically reached into his inventory to take something out.
"And the conclusion of this observation is …" Xiao Tan ignored him and continued calmly, "If I fight you with normal speed, I will definitely not be able to win quickly. Not only will I not be able to win quickly … Considering that you are most likely a player who specializes in fighting, continuous close combat with you will also bring a certain amount of risk.
"Fortunately, you don't seem to have the kind of defensive skill or equipment that can 'passively take effect,' because … even if you see with your own eyes that 'it's just an ordinary arrow flying towards you,' you still have to intercept it with your own hands.
"After knowing this, I have an eighty percent confidence … that I can kill you instantly."
As Xiao Tan was saying this, Jadon had already treated his wound urgently. He forced himself to stand up and summoned the giant fist on his right arm again. It looked like he was going to fight to the death.
At that moment, he really couldn't speak anymore. His left hand was still covering his throat.
"Hmm … Even though it is a little cruel to say this …" Xiao Tan looked at his opponent and pursed his lips. "But if you insist on prolonging your life … at most, you will only force me to repeat what happened in those three seconds."
Before he could finish, from Jadon's perspective, his opponent's figure disappeared from his sight again.
The most despairing thing was … in the same second, the side of Jadon's neck, the part that he didn't cover with his hand, had another hole made by the hidden sword.
'This is too ridiculous …' That was Jadon's last thought before he turned into white light.
It was not just him. Even the research team from the gaming studio was confused when they watched the video after the match. From a third party's perspective, they could only see Xiao Tan's sudden disappearance and reappearance. No matter how many times they slowed down the video, they couldn't see the moment when he stabbed Jadon.
Of course, the people from Underworld Frontline knew very well that Xiao Tan had used his title skill, Time Flash to defeat his opponent.
Other than the people from Underworld Frontline, only a small number of people saw what Wang Tanzhi had done in the battle with Jadon. Those who saw the truth naturally came to the conclusion that … one of the skills or equipment on Xiao Tan could utilize one of the four most powerful powers in Thriller Paradise — the power of time.
But that was not the end of the story. Let's focus on the present.
When Jadon was killed, the second match of the first round of S3, the battle of the backbone, came to an end.
Although Jadon and Beimonstein's performance was commendable, the difference in strength between the two sides was still a little too big. In the end, Underworld Frontline won again with zero casualties, easily gaining a 2: 0 lead. They brought the match to the match point during the "Participation Match".
