"Hehehe … This is quite surprising …" Woody, who was in the conference room, looked at the screen and laughed. "The person who no one placed a bet on has become the key character …"
"Heh … Mortals always bring unexpected surprises, don't they?" Vincent continued.
Beside him, Xi De counted with his fingers and said, "Then... the error has been corrected, right?" He paused for a moment before continuing, "Xu Huai Shang didn't make it into the finals, and Yamaraja has already used up all of his Dragon Break Slash. Their missions have been completed by Unrestrained Pegasus alone."
"Hehehe … That might not be the case." Woody replied. "Actually, this list of 'ten' is just an insurance measure to increase the success rate of the plan. Based on the players' skills, items, character's ability, and habits, a comprehensive consideration was made … and ten people were selected to deal with each of Lute's ten forms. " He explained, "Theoretically speaking, even if none of these ten people enter the finals, as long as there is a player, Anomaly, or NPC who can defeat all of Lute's forms on their own, the result will be the same."
"I'm curious … What if there is a slight mistake in your scenario and Lute's plan succeeds?" Sid asked.
"Hehehe … That would be even more interesting …" Woody pushed on his glasses. "I wonder what will happen to the human world …"
"Hey … you didn't even answer my question, did you?" Sid grumbled. "You have a 'I don't care what happens to the human world' attitude."
"That is where his bad taste lies …" Vincent scoffed. "After all, this is not a mission given by Satan. To put it bluntly, it doesn't matter who wins …" He scoffed. "First, he went to Lute and told him, 'This is the stage that I have given to Origin. Do as you wish.' After the Battle of the Butterfly's grouping was tampered with, he went to Feng Bujue to tell him what to do … "
"Humph … So, he has seen through it …" Woody scoffed.
"Of course," Vincent said. "Saying something like 'to prevent Feng Bujue from digging further into the Wang family's secret', it's obvious that it's just an excuse. Do you really think Simon doesn't see through it? He just didn't want to argue with you. " His fingers casually tapped on the table a few times. "Those guys in Heaven … Because they just played a borderline game, they're feeling guilty and don't dare to jump out and question your actions … In fact, they don't know that you're just pretending to be deaf and dumb, taking advantage of the situation …"
"Hehehe … Fine …" Woody said, "Actually, it doesn't matter … No matter how the game is set up, the most important thing, right?"
"Perhaps." Vincent gave Woody a meaningful look and then moved his eyes back to the screen.
…
Back to the war in the city …
Above the battlefield, the silver fist's fist Qi.
It was as swift as thunder and as swift as the wind.
It was the same Pegasus Meteor Punch, but its power and accuracy were much higher. Each of his fists accurately hit the two Lu Te's. None of his attacks deviated, and none of his energy was wasted.
Lutes in their fifth and sixth forms were covered by a light screen. They could not escape and were turned into liquid … Gemini Mode was broken.
However, after Pegasus Flying Across the Sky released the last Meteor Punch, his little universe was burned out, and he stopped breathing.
"The Constellation lads are doing well …" Meng Jingchan lifted his sword to cut the enemy while he looked into the distance and said, "Our side … If we continue to fight like this, it will be too embarrassing …"
"Ah … Three against one, and you still can't take them down. It is indeed not very dignified," Blade Runner continued. "Why don't you two … take a break?"
"You should have said so earlier!" Red Iron heard that and did not bother to be courteous. He immediately feinted and left the battle.
To be honest, he had wanted to stop for a while, but he was worried that after he left, the two players would not be able to handle it. That was why he forced himself to stay and help them.
Obviously, Lu Te's attack that pierced through Chi Tie's back was not as simple as it looked on the surface. If he had to make an analogy, his injury … was like a computer whose system files were damaged. If he continued to use this kind of machine to run programs, the screen might turn blue at any time.
"Then, I will accept your offer …" Meng Jingchan also responded and immediately leaped out.
He took a few steps forward and leaped into the air. Then, he swung his body sideways and caught the falling Heavenly Steed in the Air.
Unfortunately, Zen Dream soon realized that the thing that he was trying his best to catch … was a dead body.
"Blade Runner … You think too highly of yourself …" The murderous look in Kuai Duo's eyes under the goggles increased. "What's more annoying is that … the two guys actually believed that you could take me on alone …" He snorted. "Who do you think you are …"
After Kuai Duo finished speaking, the two swords in his hands immediately shone with layers of brilliance, and the sword energy whistled through the air.
Blade Runner did not seem to be in a hurry. His body was like a swimming dragon, and his sword style was strange. He either blocked or dodged the opponent's attacks, one by one.
The remaining force of Kuai Duo's sword energy rolled out wildly, leaving countless deep grooves on the surrounding ground and walls. However, it could not hurt Childe Jian at all.
"Hmm … I feel much more relaxed now." Blade Runner raised his eyebrows and sneered. "Your attack pattern is too shallow. If it were not for your speed … it would not be enough …"
Childe Jian's words hit the nail on the head and directly pointed out J1-KUAI Duo's fatal weakness. Indeed, Kuai Duo had a speed that even Lu Te could not catch up with, but … his fighting skills were actually very ordinary. The blow that Red Tie had sent him flying earlier was the best proof. Because the two had fought in the past, Red Tie already had some understanding of Kuai Duo's fighting style. This time, Red Tie only tested for a short while and knew … that his opponent was still using the same trick.
And an opponent like Kuai Duo happened to be the one that Blade Runner was best at dealing with …
When it came to close-quarter combat, Flashes of Sword was undeniably one of the best at it. When Feng Bujue fought with him, he also had the upper hand in terms of absolute speed, but he was completely defeated. If it were not for the timely awakening of his psionic weapon, Brother Jue would have been killed long ago.
Now that he was fighting one-on-one with Kuai Duo, Childe Jian was able to perform more freely. The experienced Meng Jingchan also saw this and left.
"Not good enough …" Kuai Duo said gloomily. "Then take a good look at this …"
As he finished, he disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, Kuai Duo disappeared …
"Teleportation?" That was Blade Runner's first reaction.
But he was wrong …
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Sharp and indiscriminate slashes, with the spot where Kuai Duo disappeared as the center, spread out at an unbelievable speed …
For a time, half of the street was filled with wind, and dust flew everywhere.
Childe Jian was indeed wrong. Even though he had the upper hand in terms of fighting skills, this kind of unreasonable method of using brute force was not something that he could deal with.
At that moment, the difference in power between a player and a Level 1 Anomaly was most directly reflected. In terms of pure strength and speed, the two could not be compared at all.
Blade Runner's face paled. He waved his sword, trying to block the attack.
But … how could a body of flesh and a sword of several inches block this brute force? Wherever the wind passed, the earth cracked and the rocks parted. Countless wounds appeared on Blade Runner's body. It was as if he had been eaten by a school of piranhas. He stood in the wind and died.
The wind stopped, and the figure reappeared.
"Hahahaha …" Kuai Duo, who had stopped his attack, finally sighed in relief. He could not help but laugh. "Let's see how arrogant you are now! Haha … "
Pa!
A hand suddenly pressed on Kuai Duo's head. His laughter also came to an abrupt end …
Then, the owner of the hand grabbed Kuai Duo's head like he was grabbing a basketball, lifted him up, and spun him 180 degrees.
Kuai Duo's eyes moved, and soon, a person appeared before him. It was a woman covered in blood …
So … ten seconds ago, she was not afraid at all. Seeing Childe Jian in danger, she wanted to come forward to help.
With a sweep of the Berserk Lightning Rod, she forced back the five Anomalies that surrounded her and then charged toward Han Fei without any regard for her own safety.
Unfortunately, in the end, not only did she fail to save him, she was also attacked by several long-range attacks from behind. She was already on the verge of death.
"Shorty … I've tolerated you for a long time …" Not a Scaredy Cat's hair was disheveled, and her face was red like fire. Her eyes were burning with anger, and she was ready to kill. "If you have the self-awareness of 'I'm sorry that I'm breathing the same air as everyone else', you should find a corner and f * ck yourself. Perhaps I can forgive you …"
"Put me down!" Kuai Duo hated it when people lifted him up. He immediately stabbed out with both swords, aiming for her throat.
Even though Not a Scaredy Cat raised her neck to evade, the two sides of her neck were still cut open, and blood gushed out.
"Fine … As you wish …" Not a Scaredy Cat's face was twisted, and she did not mind the pain.
As she spoke, she tossed the Lightning Rod in her left hand away. Then, using both hands, she performed an ultimate skill!
This skill was called Quick Twisting Arms Neck Smash.
There was no skill description because this was not a skill. This was just one of the many skills that Not a Scaredy Cat had practiced against Childe Jian …
In any case, the level one Anomaly, J1-KUAI Duo, died under the WWE's classic skill.
And after Not a Scaredy Cat used the skill, she did not stand up again.
…
On the other side of the battlefield, after placing down Flying Horse's body, Meng Jingchan rushed to Uncle Worthless's side to fight alongside him.
Hong Hu was dead, and Red Iron had temporarily retreated to the side, so these two players became the last fighting force. Even though the two of them had seen Blade Runner and Not a Scaredy Cat die one after another, there was nothing they could do.
Lu Te could revive a few more times, and they might not be able to handle the encirclement of more than ten level three Anomalies.
Thankfully, there was a chance.
Suddenly, four figures rushed out at the same time. They moved like lightning, and their attacks were like thunder.
They rushed in from outside the battlefield, and it did not take long for them to take down the surrounding Anomalies, turning the situation around once more.
"They're finally here …" Uncle Worthless sighed in relief when he saw the arrival of reinforcements. He knelt down on one knee and gasped for air.
After such a long period of continuous fighting and fighting one against ten, Uncle Worthless could no longer hold on. The power that allowed him to revive through the sunglasses could not be used repeatedly within a short period of time, so he was in a weakened state.
"I'm sorry … We ran into a few powerful people on the way here, so we were delayed," Shiva replied as he looked around. He looked at the broken bodies, and from the guild badge, he had a rough idea of who had died.
"Even Ask the Heavens' God's Smile is gone …"
"It's not just the Laughing Master … Even our Drunk and Disappointed has died." Once Meng Jingchan had the chance to breathe, he lit himself a cigarette. "But the bodies are too broken, so you won't be able to see them."
When Shiva heard that, his expression shifted. He searched for a few seconds before asking, "Where is Phantom Dawn?"
"He flew away," Meng Jingchan replied. "He shouldn't be dead yet … so … he will return sooner or later." He took out a can of beer and took a swig. "Burp … Hopefully, we'll be able to survive until then."
"I …" Lu Te's voice rang out again. "… have serious doubts about that."
This time, her appearance was a large, metallic snowflake.
"What is that?" Shiva asked.
"This is the leader of the Anomalies that we saw earlier," Uncle Worthless replied. "In any case … she appears to have many forms. Every time she is killed, she will change into one."
"Then, this is …" Shiva asked.
"Her fourth form." Lu Te answered the question for Uncle Worthless. "And also your doomsday …"
"Hahaha …" Uncle Worthless laughed drily. Then, he leaped into action and attacked without warning. "Demon Sealing Wave!"
This move was indeed very sudden. Before the ball of green light appeared, no one had seen any clues.
Actually … Uncle Worthless had let his guard down for a few seconds because he wanted to numb his opponent. His eyes under the sunglasses had been paying attention to Lu Te's movement. Even when he was besieged alone, he never forgot this point.
The look in Uncle Worthless's eyes before he attacked was still fresh in his mind.
Uncle Worthless knew that if he could use Demon Sealing Wave to seal his opponent, then the battle would be over. Therefore, this was a gamble that was worth risking his life for.
Boom!
The sound of energy hitting the body announced that Demon Sealing Wave had hit its target.
However, Uncle Worthless's face turned deathly pale.
This was because he did not hit Lu Te but a normal level three Anomaly.
This Anomaly from Origin was closer to Lu Te. When the Demon Sealing Wave came at him, he leaped and successfully blocked the attack.
"This is bad …" Uncle Worthless sighed helplessly. Since he had already hit his target, there was no turning back. He could only finish the skill.
He clenched his fists and opened them. With a flick of his arm, he tossed the Anomaly into the rice cooker.
Uncle Worthless wanted to rush over to close the lid, but unfortunately … his Life Points had dropped to zero.
"I … I'm sorry … I …" Uncle Worthless did not manage to complete his last sentence. He staggered and collapsed to the ground, and his sunglasses shattered.
Meng Jingchan turned around and stepped forward to cover the rice cooker. "Sigh … Oh well …"
Buzz buzz buzz!
"Put your feet …" Lute's voice came out from the huge snowflakes. At the same time, a palm-sized hexagonal light prism condensed in front of him, making a buzzing sound. "… Put it away!"
Buzz buzz!
Following this strange sound, a ray of light shot out from the hexagonal object.
When Meng Jingchan realized what was happening, the part of his right leg below the knee had already been cut off.
To be able to injure Brother Zen to the point where he could not react, the speed of the ray of light did not need to be explained.
At that moment, Meng Jingchan actually laughed, and it was a laugh that was free and easy.
"Ha … You'd better run," he said as he tossed another mouthful of wine into his mouth.
The moment his leg was cut off, Meng Jingchan understood many things. Therefore, he uttered those last words. Buzz buzz.
Creak — Another creak.
A hole the size of a bowl appeared in Meng Jingchan's chest. Even if he had both legs, he would not have been able to evade this attack in time, much less one.
"Kuai Duo has been killed as well," Lu Te said. "Looks like you guys are quite capable. Thankfully, I've prepared beforehand …"
The Brahman team that had just arrived did not understand what she meant. Of course, if this was someone else, they might not have understood what she meant either.
The 'preparation' that Lu Te mentioned was actually referring to the level three Anomalies around her.
Naturally, they did not come because they saw or heard the commotion of the battle. If that was the case, they would have come when Lu Te was fighting the leader of the demons. In reality … these Anomalies had come because of Lu Te's order.
Before Lu Te sent Phantom Dawn flying, she had said, "Since it has been decided that it will be you … then things are simple." It was at that moment that she had given the order to all the Origin Anomalies in the city — kill or shake off the enemies before them, be they players or NPCs, and then return to the battlefield at the eastern side of the Rumbling Tunnel as soon as possible.
That timing was not long after Red Iron made her appearance, and the players had broken through two of her forms.
Even though Lu Te had heavily injured Red Iron at the beginning, she still had this trick up her sleeve … The main reason was to prevent situations like the Mana Sealing Wave and to eliminate all the theoretical possibilities of failure.
Therefore, this was what had happened before them.
The four Brahman players were no longer in their best condition. On the way there, they had been ambushed by one level two Anomalies and many level three Anomalies, and they had exhausted quite a lot of skills and Life Points.
Now, they were surrounded by more than twenty enemies, including Lu Te in her fourth form. This was truly a desperate situation. Furthermore … the other Origin Anomalies in the city were still rushing over. In the few minutes since the four arrived, the enemy had added another five to six people.
Regarding Red Iron … he had disappeared without a trace. No one knew where he was hiding to heal his wounds.
It was under such circumstances that … suddenly …
