Death Smile was a handsome young man with a lazy smile on his face. Ghost Slash, on the other hand, was a cold guy. He looked like he had just been dragged out of the morgue. His hand was on the hilt of his sword, ready to risk his life at any moment. It was as if the moment the battle started, he would charge forward without a care for his own safety and kill Qin Yun and me!
Death Smile looked at my equipment, and his eyes flashed. He said, "Frivolous Scholar, Level 202 Hidden Class, Level 165 Mid-grade Immortal-grade Oracle Set. You should be holding the top-ranked Moonlight Blade, right?
Amazing, you even have a peerless Saint weapon! "
"You're not bad yourself. You have a bunch of inferior Immortal-grade equipment, but your stats are definitely not bad ~"
Death Smile laughed. "It's alright, it's alright. Your Rising Dragon Strike and Flaming Dragon Soar are on high cooldowns, so you can't use them. You can't summon a God Tier pet either. Then, you're left with Dragon God Slash, Shield Breaker Slash, Dragon Bind, and Icebound Slash. As long as you don't get close, you won't be in danger, right?"
"You know me quite well..."
"Of course, of course, I'm your fan!"
These words were fine. These days, it was too common for fans to kill their idols. Some people's words could only be believed 1%. For example, Gui Zhi joked that "Dragon Soul is a handsome and righteous young man." Actually, the only correct thing about this sentence was "Dragon Soul is a human". The rest were all nonsense.
Qin Yun cautiously stuck to my back and said, "Scholar, he really knows you. What should we do?"
"This is a psychological battle. There are many people who know my stats. He won't be the only one. We'll use normal tactics. I'll charge, you heal me."
Qin Yun blushed. "Oh..."
As she spoke, the countdown began!
“3！”
“2！”
“1！”
The battle officially began!
"Dragon Bind!"
I raised my hand and a giant dragon soared, binding Ghost Slash. This kid definitely had a killing move, so I had to bind him first. Killing an undead mage was not difficult for me.
Seeing that Ghost Slash was bound, Death Smile gritted his teeth and shouted, "Undead Revival!"
"Pa pa pa!"
Countless white bone arms burst out of the ground and grabbed Qin Yun and my ankles in an instant.
"Qin Yun, Divine Dispel!"
After I shouted, Qin Yun used her Dispel skill. All the skeletons summoned by Death's Smile were purified and turned into a pile of white bones. Dust to dust, dust to dust!
Hmph hmph, bringing along a Holy Priest to deal with this kind of necromancer is simply an absolute counter!
Death Smile had no choice but to retreat. At the same time, he waved his staff and a scorching dark fireball blasted at Qin Yun!
“22017！”
Damn, this brat's attack power was so strong. If he used a fatal strike, Qin Yun would really be in danger.
He pulled out the Fire Dragon Bow, and with a "pa" sound, the Thunder Arrow whizzed out with a mighty momentum. With a "peng" sound, it pierced through Death's Smile's clothes as easily as breaking dry weeds. His entire body was torn apart like rotten leaves in autumn, and he turned into specks of starlight as he was sent out of the competition arena.
Qin Yun used a few Holy Light Slashes to turn Ghost Slash into a pig's head. I rushed over and finished him off with a simple slash!
Ding ~!
System Notice: You have won the round!
… …
I was teleported out of the arena and waited for the next round.
Ling Yue beamed and said with a smile, "Sister Qin Yun and Scholar are amazing. You destroyed The Brotherhood's 2v2 like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves ~"
Qin Yun said, "Scholar suppressed Ghost Slash first and didn't let him use his skill. Otherwise, we might have been hit."
"Yes yes yes."
Ling Yue looked at me. "In the next round, Scholar will continue this strategy and take this point. We will win these precious three points.
I can already feel that The Brotherhood will be our strongest opponent if China becomes the champion. If we can take down The Brotherhood, it will be the same as taking down half the championship! "
Ling Yue was happy and full of confidence for the future. Her beautiful eyes were full of moving light. It was as if she could already see the ten people of Snow Moon standing on the podium of the offline tournament.
The second round soon began.
When I was teleported into the battlefield, Ghost Chop looked at me with a guarded expression. His entire body had almost retreated to the edge of the map. He was at least 50 yards away from me. He was already out of range of my [Dragon Bind]. This brat was really cautious!
"Ghost Slash!
Take this... "
I feinted with my sword, scaring Ghost Chop so much that he trembled in the distance. Then, I charged toward Death's Smile, activating [Charge] midway!
Death's Smile hastily flickered and instantly retreated far away. He shouted, "Ghost Slash, now is the time!"
Ghost Slash's body was once again covered in black energy. In the next moment, he opened his hand and shouted at Death Smile, "Soul Extraction!"
In an instant, Death Smile's body was covered in a layer of black light.
"Di!"
Battle Notification: Player "Ghost Slash" used "Soul Extraction" on player "Death Smile". Player "Death Smile" has entered a state of invincibility against physical attacks. Magic attack damage has been doubled. Player "Ghost Slash" has entered a weakened state. All stats have been reduced by 90%. Unable to move for 120 seconds!
… …
F * ck!
So it was this skill!
It allowed Death Smile to enter a state of invincibility against physical attacks. His magic attacks were even sharper. They saw that Snow Moon couldn't send out mages to fight a 2v2, so they used this combination!
Of course, they didn't expect that our beautiful priest was also a very powerful mana controller!
Death Smile charged toward me in black light with a victorious smile on his face. He threw a Dark Flame Spell at me and burned away more than ten thousand of my HP.
Qin Yun saw the situation and immediately rushed to my side. She waved her staff and used Holy Light Slash!
The giant sword of light slashed down from the sky and almost one-shot Death Smile!
He hurriedly changed his target and locked his attack on our little Priest. After all, Qin Yun's magic attack couldn't compare to his pure mage class.
"Bang!"
Dark Flame blasted away more than half of Qin Yun's HP. At the same time, it interrupted her Holy Light Slash chant. The drawback of this large-scale attack spell was revealed. The chant was just too time-consuming.
Death Smile was smiling like a flower when I suddenly appeared next to him. However, he was very confident and said with a smile, "It's useless, your attacks are useless against me!"
"Is that so?"
I smiled faintly. Moonlight Ice Blade suddenly exploded with golden light. In the next moment, an enormous golden dragon covered in sword light landed on Death Smile's head!
Boom!
“112038！”
One-shot!
Hmph hmph, my Divine Dragon Slash evolved from Soaring Flames Dragon. Soaring Flames Dragon is a true magic attack. If you think I don't know magic, then you are gravely mistaken!
With Death Smile hanging, Ghost Slash was not a threat. Plus, he was still in a weakened state.
"Fuck..."
Ghost Slash smiled helplessly and said, "Don't attack. I will kill myself, okay?"
I politely waved my hand. "Do as you wish..."
Ghost Slash flashed white and forfeited.
Ding ~!
System Notice: You have won this match!
Ding ~!
System Notice: Congratulations, your team has defeated The Brotherhood's team with a score of 3: 2!
… …
"Haha!
We won!
We won!
We really are a cockroach team!! "
The girls were cheering from the sidelines. This was a hard-won victory, and it was incredibly important to us. Now that we had taken out The Brotherhood, Snow Moon would feel like they were invincible in the entire China server.
Next, we needed to grind hard, improve our equipment and levels, and defeat The Brotherhood and Soul Battle Robes again in the offline tournament twelve days later. Then, we would become the champions of the WSL China server!
Snow Moon's ten-man team was teleported out of the tournament venue and into the plaza of White Cloud City. There was still some time left, so Ling Yue suggested that we run the Sky City dungeon and grind some equipment while grinding. My Flaming Dragon Soar was almost off cooldown, so I could use it again. At the very least, taking out the final boss of Sky City, the Heavenly Winged Demon, shouldn't be a problem.
And so, we walked out of White Cloud City and headed toward Sky City.
… …
Outside the city, we ran into a group of old acquaintances. They were the main force of Soul Battle Robes. Wang Junjie, Hong Lingwu, and the Shadow Follower were also there.
I also discovered a player I had never seen before. She was a beautiful female player called Shen Luoyan, and she was a Level 172 archer. Her figure wasn't bad, and although it couldn't compare to our Purple Moon's, it was still curvaceous enough to make her leather armor look like it was about to burst.
"Oh?
Snow Moon's people passed by here?
What a coincidence... "Seven-star Lamp was the first to speak.
I walked up and asked, "How did the battle go?"
Seven-star Lamp revealed a sad expression and said, "We lost, 2: 3. It was a terrible loss..."
"Little Seven, stop!
Talking about it makes me angry! "Blood Drinker of the Heavens said angrily.
I checked the results of today's match. As expected, Soul Battle Robes had lost 2: 3 to Fleeting Years. Soul Battle Robes had lost three matches in total. Even though it wasn't too big of a problem for them to enter the Top 16, it was still humiliating for them to lose so many matches despite their lofty ambitions.
"Aren't you going to become an ascetic monk and cultivate in seclusion in the mountains?" I asked.
Seven-star Lamp pointed in the direction of the Outer Lands and said with a smile, "I'll start cultivating after midnight tonight. Hehe, it won't be long before I surprise all of you!"
"I hope so..." Ling Xue said with a smile.
Seven-star Lamp rubbed his nose and said, "Scholar, your girlfriend really doesn't hold back. This won't do. You need to teach her a lesson..."
My eyes widened. How dare he say something like that?
He wants me to teach Ling Xue a lesson?
Hmph hmph, I'll thank the heavens if she doesn't teach me a lesson...
At this time, Hong Lingwu grabbed the hand of the beautiful priest next to her and said to Seven-star Lamp, "Little Seven, if you're going out to grind, why don't you take my distant cousin with you?
Her healing output is pretty good. While you're leveling up with her, she can also heal you … "
"Oh?
I can heal myself. A healer can... ah! "
Seven-star Lamp wanted to say no, but when he saw Shen Luoyan's beauty, he immediately swallowed the words "no need". He smiled and said, "It's good to have a healer. You're... Shen Luoyan, right?
That's a beautiful name. Come with me, I'll take you to the Outer Lands... "
I smiled coldly. Hong Lingwu really knew how to save trouble. It took a lot of effort for a guild to raise a priest, but she just handed this so-called distant cousin to Seven-star Lamp. Once her level and equipment were high enough, she would probably summon her genius back to Wang Junjie.
Seven-star Lamp, that idiot, actually led the little priest away with a silly smile. Blood Drinker of the World stared at Shen Luoyan like a hungry wolf looking at a fat ewe. Shen Luoyan's two voluptuous buttocks were wrapped in her robe as she followed behind Seven-star Lamp. Her buttocks swayed left and right, and Blood Drinker of the World's eyes swayed left and right like a pendulum. Every time his eyes turned cross-eyed, he looked like he was mentally retarded.
At the side, Bing Cha looked at Shen Luoyan's back and laughed softly. He said ambiguously, "The ancients did not deceive others. It was just that small people and women are hard to raise..."
The women were definitely Shen Luoyan and Hong Lingwu. Then what about small people? Blood Drinker of the World, or Seven-star Lamp?
Seeing my confused gaze, Bing Cha smiled. "Don't look, or I'll give you electricity..."
Her beautiful eyes were filled with love. Actually, she had been giving me electricity since a long time ago. It was just that Ling Xue was beside me, so I entered a state of isolation.
Hong Lingwu's eyes flashed with cunning. She smiled and said to Blood Drinker of the World and Battle Soul Proud Heaven, "There are still more than ten days until the WSL offline tournament. We don't need people, right?
Then I'll go level up with Suifeng. You two bosses must agree to it. Don't let one agree and the other not. Oh right, between you two, who has the final say? "
Battle Soul Proud Heaven and Blood Drinker of the World's gazes turned cold at the same time. Soul Battle Robes was a reorganized guild, and their leader was already hanging in the balance. Right now, Battle Soul Alliance was weaker than Bloodthirsty Alliance. Although Battle Soul Proud Heaven was the guild leader, Blood Drinker of the World only needed to raise his arm and call for help, and he could take away most of the guild's experts. This was Battle Soul Proud Heaven's weakness.
Bloodthirsty Alliance had allied with Battle Soul in order to resist Snow Moon, but in reality, Blood Drinker of the World had been constantly digging away at Battle Soul's members and hearts for the past few months. The entirety of Soul Battle Robes would soon belong to Blood Drinker of the World, and Battle Soul Proud Heaven was stuck in a dilemma. He could only watch helplessly as his trusted subordinates drifted away from him. This was the result of dancing with the wolves. You wanted to get a piece of meat from the wolf's mouth, but you often ended up as the meat in the other's mouth.
As a bystander, I felt a chill in my heart. Hong Lingwu wasn't simple. She was able to escalate the conflict between Battle Soul and Bloodthirsty Alliance with a seemingly playful remark. It looked like it was only a matter of time before Soul Battle Robes broke apart. The only thing we could do for Snow Moon was to actively deal with it after it broke and reformed.
It was said that the world that was united for too long must be divided, and separated for too long must be united.
