"Mud Foot Trap!"
"Twisting Heaven and Earth!"
After the two skills were used, Han Xin stood there and said, "Old man, if you have the guts, come and break my formation!"
As a Dragon Rider, Uncle Lone Grave took a deep breath. He wanted to cry, but no tears came out. If he could become a true Dragon Rider and ride a giant dragon like Brave Heart, why would he need to be afraid of these charlatans?
Unfortunately, Solitary Grave could not do anything about this skill. Dragon's Imprisonment had an effective range of 30 yards, but the opponent's Mud Foot Trap and Twisting Heaven and Earth were both long-range skills with an effective range of 50 yards!
Hellfire was anxious by the side of the stage. "Go!
What's there to be afraid of? "
Solitary Grave clenched his teeth and went!
He used Seven Star Steps and tried to avoid the quagmire as much as possible. However, he suddenly missed and half of his body sank into the quagmire.
"Hehe, you're courting death!"
Han Xin slowly approached, but at this time, Solitary Grave suddenly stood up, scaring Han Xin out of his wits. Solitary Grave did not sink into the quagmire. This was just a trick. He was only kneeling on the ground!
The distance was enough. Charge!
However, Han Xin reacted in the time it took for a spark to fly off a flint. His figure flashed, and he actually teleported away!
Solitary Grave was furious. His meticulously planned strategy had failed.
Han Xin sneered and ran around the quagmire. Then, he suddenly turned around and used Twisting Heaven and Earth!
Bang bang!
Stone awls shot out from the ground. Solitary Grave was injured. Han Xin completely treated the terrain as his own spider web, and he was the master. He was responsible for killing all prey that fell into the web.
After a few Thunder Slashes, Han Xin ran out of mana and Solitary Grave's health.
In the end, another Fireball and Solitary Grave was sent out of the arena unwillingly.
2: 2. Both sides were tied. The 2v2 became a life and death battle. The loser would be eliminated.
…
Not long after, Solitary Grave joined hands with Hellfire, while their opponents were Flying Sword and Han Xin.
From the looks of it, Fleeting Water's chances of victory were extremely slim. Han Xin, the Feng Shui master, was the deciding factor. His existence determined the outcome of the battle!
"Quagmire Trap!"
"Twisting Heaven and Earth!"
Another two area-of-effect skills, similar to the power of a domain.
Solitary Grave and Hellfire charged forward together, but tragically, they became the Flying Sword's magic experiment. Wind blades and fireballs flew everywhere. Even though Solitary Grave's Draconic Imprisonment managed to trap Han Xin, he was still no match for the Flying Sword's magic. Hellfire activated Wings of the Wind, but he couldn't truly fly and was still trapped.
"Roar!
Roar! "
With two cries, Solitary Grave and Hellfire were both killed!
The second round was almost exactly the same. Against Temple of the Moon's tactics, Passing Water was completely helpless. After putting up a bit of resistance, he was killed with a helpless expression.
Temple of the Moon beat Passing Water by a narrow margin of 3: 2!
When Solitary Grave and Hellfire entered the arena, their expressions were ugly. They must have been very unhappy. There was nothing more depressing than being killed by a dark horse.
Ling Xue looked at me and asked, "If we encountered Temple of the Moon, how do you think we could defeat this Geomancer's tactics?"
I took a deep breath. "I haven't thought of anything yet. The area is too big, and there are no skills that can reach it. Divine Dragon Slash, Profound Ice Sword Aura, these skills only have a range of 30 yards or so. Beyond 50 yards, I can't use Emotion Skills, and skills like Rising Dragon Strike have long cooldowns."
Ling Xue smiled. "Forget it. Temple of the Moon may encounter The Brotherhood, so let Very Cute Very Easy and A Speck of Dust worry about it!"
"Yes."
The last match of the morning was also the last match of the quarterfinals. The Brotherhood VS Dreaming of Snow Moon.
Before the match, Bing Zhiyi said with a smile, "I have a feeling that we're here to be bystanders..."
Her premonition was very accurate!
A Speck of Dust 2: 1 Fleeting Time
Very Cute Very Easy 1: 2 Bing Zhiyi
Ghost Slash 1: 2 Cold Water
Death Smile 2: 0 Sky Song
A Speck of Dust & Very Cute Very Easy 2: 0 Bing Zhiyi & Fleeting Time
Total score: 3: 2, small score: 8: 5. Dreaming of Snow Moon was eliminated, but it wasn't a shame that they lost to The Brotherhood. At the very least, they wouldn't be as depressed as Uncle Solitary Grave.
The match temporarily came to an end. After lunch, it was time for the quarterfinals to decide the champion.
At noon, Ling Tian paid a lot of money to stay and eat. In the end, he was stopped by Solitary Grave. The two brothers drank a lot, and Solitary Grave was depressed. Ling Tian could only be depressed with him. After drinking, the two of them went upstairs to sleep. We had to continue the next match.
The semifinals were decided. Next up was an even more intense matchup —
Snow Moon VS Soul Battle Robes
Temple of the Moon VS The Brotherhood
The final champion would be one of these four teams.
… …
Lineups were a big headache. Ling Yue frowned and said, "Seven-star Lamp is using the Misfortune set and a skill he learned somewhere. In our team, Scholar is the most likely to run into him, but the chances of him running into him are too low. What should we do?"
Ling Xue said, "Sis, let Scholar go first, and I'll go second. Let's get two points first, and then I'll fight with Scholar in the 2v2 match. That way, we'll at least get three points. Both Scholar and I can sign a military pledge!"
Ling Yue looked at her serious little sister and smiled. "Alright, alright. We'll do as Ling Xue says. Today is New Year's Eve, and Snow Moon has to give ourselves the perfect New Year's present!"
"Ah?
Today is New Year's Eve? "I exclaimed in surprise. Before I knew it, it was already New Year's.
Ling Yue said with a smile, "Of course. Why else do you think dad is so busy that he wouldn't come here? He just wants to celebrate New Year's with us."
"Mn." I felt a bit of warmth in my heart. It had been a few years since I celebrated New Year's with my family.
Ling Yue typed in the lineups without hesitation. It didn't take long for Snow Moon and Soul Battle Robes' lineups to appear —
Frivolous Scholar VS Battle Soul Proud Heaven
Windy Snow VS Seven-star Lamp
Chrysanthemum Daohana VS Blood Drinker
Bing Cha VS Little Butterfly
Frivolous Scholar & Windy Snow VS Seven-star Lamp & Blood Drinker
… …
The first match was between me and Battle Soul Proud Heaven. We were both former guild leaders of our respective guilds, but I wasn't worried about Battle Soul Proud Heaven's chances of winning.
Ling Xue, Ling Yue, and the rest of the girls were also very confident in me. Taking down Battle Soul Proud Heaven was a piece of cake for me.
The result was just as we all expected. I didn't even bother to use Dragon Bind. After I stunned him, I used Charge + Total Annihilation. There was no way Battle Soul Proud Heaven would be able to block such a powerful attack.
2: 0!
It was a clean win.
Bing Cha said, "Everyone knows about Tian Ji's Horse Race, right?
Why do I feel like this is what Soul Battle Robes is trying to do? Battle Soul Proud Heaven has no chance of winning no matter who he fights, so he chose the so-called 'little invincible' Scholar and Seven-star Lamp against Ling Xue, and Little Butterfly against me. This way, they have a chance of winning … "
I said, "You know too much."
Ling Yue said with a smile, "I'm sure everyone can win. Now, let's get ready for the next match. Ling Xue, you have to win no matter what!"
Ling Xue nodded. "Yes, of course!"
On the battlefield, Ling Xue was clad in Sky Armor and wielding the divine weapon, the Blade of Snow Domain. Seven-star Lamp was clad in Armor of Misfortune, and he was summoning his minions at a leisurely pace. It looked like he wasn't planning on using them as meatshields.
"You were very strong when you killed Brave Heart last time …" Seven-star Lamp said with a chuckle.
Ling Xue waved her Shuriken and said, "It's the same now."
"Is that so?
That being said, your pet won't be able to be used in WSL anymore. "Seven-star Lamp noticed this. His intel was pretty good.
Ling Xue's eyes wandered around, but she bit her lips and didn't say anything. Who knew what she was thinking?
“3！”
“2！”
“1！”
The battle began!
Seven-Star Lamp, on the other hand, was the first to activate Charge. He held his shield horizontally and activated the Holy Shield Spell. With a flash of golden light, he blocked Ling Xue's Charge. At the same time, the Holy Shield Spell missed the Dizzy effect. Seven-Star Lamp's damage to Ling Xue was only 10,000.
Whoosh!
The shield was quickly moved away, and snowflakes flew into the air. Ice Sealing Slash!
Seven-star Lamp's mouth curved into a smile. The Blade of Snow Domain had cut through his body. It turned out that it was just an afterimage. His real body had already used Death Illusion to dodge.
"Damn it …"
Ling Xue gritted her teeth. Ice Sealing Slash's cooldown had been tricked.
Charge!
The Ice Swordsman's Charge arrived in an instant, and Seven-star Lamp also raised his shield to block it. At the same time, he shouted, "Wings of Darkness!"
A pair of black wings flew up, and Seven-star Lamp turned into a demon. He attacked Ling Xue with a longsword in hand, and at the same time, activated Death Prophecy. Undead Slash!
Dark Cross Slash!
Ling Xue was caught off guard, and her HP dropped by half in the blink of an eye.
But how could she possibly survive that easily?
A sword of light flew past Seven-star Lamp, and the icicle of Profound Ice Sword Energy froze Seven-star Lamp's feet tightly.
Total Annihilation!
Ice Spiral Sword!
Clang clang clang! Seven-star Lamp's HP dropped to rock bottom. If he hadn't obtained the Misfortune Equipment Set, he would've been one-shot already.
Ling Xue originally still had a chance, but she never thought that the Death Prophecy's imprisonment would be too powerful. Seven Star Lantern opened one hand and shouted, "Dark Flame Art!"
Swhoosh!
A fireball flew toward Ling Xue and deleted her last sliver of HP.
Ling Xue had lost the first round, just like that!
When we returned to the edge of the stage, the little beauty was stomping her feet in anger. I hurriedly put a hand on her shoulder and said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry!
Remember, don't let him trick Frozen Slash again! "
"Mn!"
The second round was about to begin.
Ling Xue was very smart this time. She didn't use Frozen Slash at all and used Charge and Total Annihilation instead. Seven-star Lamp naturally didn't dare to use Death Phantasm. Ling Xue's Frozen Slash was like a sword hanging over his head, ready to cut down at any moment. It actually prevented the Seven-star Lamp from using his full strength.
After a few exchanges, Seven-star Lamp's HP dropped to a third or so. He had almost 200k HP, and it was too late to rely on Death Save to heal himself. Ling Xue's Blade of Snow Domain was incredibly powerful, and a random swing of her sword could delete tens of thousands of HP. Her DPS was just too high.
It was at this moment Seven-star Lamp growled, "Dark Contract!"
"Roar roar …"
The undead puppets scattered around him let out a scream and turned into a red light that returned to Seven-star Lamp. Seven-star Lamp had recovered all of his lost HP!
Beep!
System Notice: Player "Seven-star Lamp" used "Death Contract" and absorbed the same amount of HP as a summoned creature, recovering 173949 HP!
… …
My eyes nearly fell out of their sockets. Is that even possible?
Realization suddenly dawned on me. No wonder Seven-star Lamp didn't send his pets into battle. They were just walking health potions!
Ling Xue was caught off guard, but it only lasted for a second before she launched an attack. She swung her sword at a perfect angle so that Seven-star Lamp didn't know where to dodge. Just as her sword was about to touch Seven-star Lamp's chest armor, the Snow Domain Blade abruptly exploded with ice and snow!
Frozen Slash!
Ling Xue's timing was perfect, and she managed to fool Seven-star Lamp!
“73943！”
Again, Ice Spiral Sword!
A blue ice lotus bloomed and devoured Seven-star Lamp's Armor of Misfortune.
“52384！”
“57392！
“53571！
Seven-star Lamp couldn't move a muscle inside the ice, so he could only watch as the Ice Spiral Sword cut him three times in a row. His HP was gone, and his Dark Contract was useless. Ling Xue's chain of skills had one-shot him just like that!
It was a draw for now.
Ling Xue and Seven-star Lamp were both super-tier warriors in China, so it was only a matter of seconds before the victor was decided. This was especially true when Ling Xue used Frozen Slash and Ice Spiral Sword. If Seven-star Lamp was frozen, he would be dead for sure. That was his biggest problem right now.
On the other hand, Seven-star Lamp's advantage lay in his regeneration. His Dark Contract was truly amazing. 16 minions meant that Seven-star Lamp had 16 lives. Of course, that was under the condition that he wasn't one-shot. If he ran into a powerful warrior like Ling Xue, he might not even have the chance to use Dark Contract.
The third round, the deciding round!
Everything was going according to the previous round. Ling Xue was constantly looking for an opening to attack, and Seven-star Lamp had devoured four undead puppets by now.
Ling Xue didn't have much HP left, so she had to use Frozen Slash!
But right at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
When Ling Xue got close, Seven-star Lamp hurriedly spread his fingers and shouted, "Curse of Fate!"
Swhoosh!
A blood-red light enveloped Ling Xue. At the same time, a system notification popped up —
Combat Log: Player "Seven-star Lamp" used "Curse of Fate" on player "Breeze Flying Snow". All stats of player "Breeze Flying Snow" reduced by 75% for 3 seconds!
… …
Ling Xue let out a cry of surprise and hurriedly retreated.
However, it was already too late. If they were outside the arena, Ling Xue could use her invincibility skill, but the WSL prohibited skills with a cooldown of more than 1 hour. Without a doubt, most invincibility skills had a 2-hour cooldown.
All stats were reduced by 75%, and even her max HP was reduced by the same amount. Her Defense was also ridiculously low.
Seven-star Lamp smiled. "I'm sorry."
With a swing of his sword, Ling Xue transformed into a white light and teleported out of the arena.
I got hit!
I never thought that Seven-star Lamp would have such a powerful move up his sleeves. After tricking his opponent into getting close to him, he used Curse of Fate. Who could possibly stop him?
