Now that the semifinals of the WEL China server were over, everyone had gotten their tickets and visas to participate in the internationals. Therefore, the semifinals would be a battle for glory. Everyone would do their best to prove who was the king of the China server, especially Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, Snowy Cathaya and Candle Dragon. They were the top super guilds of the China server, and this battle would decide who would reign supreme.
In fact, everyone was also eyeing the reward of the champion. Level + 5, Luck + 5, a chance to draw a Cambrian Artifact. No one would let go of such a good opportunity. Moreover, there was also a RMB reward. Who would complain about having too much money these days?
…
The first match between Snowy Cathaya and Soul Battle Robes was Lin Yixin's match against the enemy's Frozen Berserker, Song of Ice and Fire. Song of Ice and Fire was a dark horse. Not only were his skills powerful, his mechanics were also top-tier. The most likely explanation for this was that he was one of the founding elders of Soul Battle Robes, and Seven-Star Lamp had invited him out of the ring. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been this powerful. Maybe he was Seven-Star Lamp, but judging from his aura, he didn't seem as tough as Seven-Star Lamp. He was a bit more ferocious, but a bit less scheming.
"Bang!"
For this match, Song of Ice and Fire had switched to a fiery battle axe with a long handle that looked like the handle of a spear. The tip of the axe was ablaze, and it looked like a fire dragon that was about to leap out of its sheath.
Li Chengfeng's eyes turned cold, and he said, "F * ck, is that … the Celestial Artifact ranked seventh on the Weapon Ranking, the Flame Dragon Axe?"
"Flame Dragon Axe?" I frowned.
"Yes."
Li Chengfeng nodded. "It's a Level 180 Immortal artifact with a terrifying Attack of 3,750. It's slightly weaker than the top-ranked Purple Ying Sword, but it has a powerful ability to pierce through all sorts of defenses. Beauty Lin's equipment is a notch lower. The Seven Star Veluriyam Sword is ranked 15th, which is a far cry from her opponent's weapon. Even with the Demon Bell, she's at a disadvantage in terms of equipment."
I gritted my teeth. "No way!
Fire Dragon Battle Axe … What the hell have Soul Battle Robes been doing lately? How did they manage to get their hands on such a powerful weapon? "
Gui Guzi said, "I heard that Soul Battle Robes sent a bunch of players to the top of Dragonbone Mountain Range while we were grinding in Bloody Shield Domain. They claimed that they were there to slay a dragon, but everyone thought it was a joke. Now it looks like they weren't joking. They must've slain a fire dragon for real. Otherwise, there's no way they would've gotten a top-tier weapon like the Flame Dragon Axe."
He Yi nodded. "Yeah, I heard about this as well. At first, I thought that Soul Battle Robes didn't have the strength to kill high-level Immortal Rank bosses, but it looks like we were all wrong. Song of Cloud and Water has found first-rate experts like Ringwraith, Song of Ice and Fire, and God Bone, so killing Immortal Rank bosses is no longer a problem for them."
Beiming Xue blinked once before grabbing my arm. "Don't worry, big bro. Don't you trust Sister Lin's mechanics?
She was the one who taught me how to control close combat. I firmly believe that there's no one in the entire China server other than my big brother who can compete with Big Sister Lin Yixin in terms of control. Fans also like to read: "
I pursed my lips and said, "She was already shining brightly during the era of Spirit of Grief. Even Frivolous Scholar once said that Lin Yixin and Murong Shanshan were competing for first and second place in the female player rankings since Eternal Moon founded the game seven years ago, and Ling Xue was only in the Top 5. That's why Lin Yixin was invited to the CGL Hall of Fame less than three months after her debut. She was a solo player at the time, and now that she has founded a super guild like Snowy Cathaya, her personal strength has reached the peak. I have no doubts about her mechanics, but Song of Ice and Fire's skill is just too powerful. He can freeze an opponent with ease, and it's on par with Lin Fan's Frozen Slash."
Li Chengfeng smiled, "There's nothing more frightening than this. A Warrior with excellent mechanics and a skill that has a high chance of freezing his opponent. No one would want to meet such an opponent. Right now, we can only wait and see how Beauty Lin will deal with such a strong opponent. Let me, Li Chengfeng, see, hmph hmph, just how strong is Beauty Lin, who has a 50% win rate against Paralyzing Wind of Sorrow!"
I couldn't help but laugh. "Unfortunately, Paralyzing Wind of Sorrow and Dark Shadow Drifter have retired. You don't even have the chance to challenge them, no matter how strong you are right now …"
Li Chengfeng raised his sword. "Fuck, you only know how to make fun of me, Lu Chen. There's no way I'd acknowledge a bastard like you as my brother!"
Beiming Xue swung her fists. "Li Chengfeng, I'll kill you if you dare to speak ill of big bro again!"
Li Chengfeng grinned and clasped his fists. "I won't dare to speak ill of you again, my lord. Please don't be angry …"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
… …
The countdown had already begun. Lin Yixin stood on the grass and stared at Song of Ice and Fire quietly, the Seven Star Veluriyam Sword in hand.
Song of Ice and Fire gripped his Fire Dragon Axe with a dark look in his eyes. The moment the countdown hit zero, he let out a roar and charged toward Song of Ice and Fire. Swhoosh! The long-handled axe drew a beautiful arc in the air with the power of the Fire Dragon. It was a simple attack, but it was impossible to block. Song of Ice and Fire's first attack was the style of a first-rate expert.
Lin Yixin raised her sword horizontally and put her left hand on top of the blade to block. Clang! The Seven Star Veluriyam Sword collided with the Fire Dragon Battle Axe, creating countless sparks. Lin Yixin slid backward under the powerful impact, her long hair fluttering in the wind.
"Haha!"
Song of Ice and Fire laughed loudly before charging toward Lin Yixin. Then, he raised his axe and shouted, "Ice Breaking Slash!"
Swhoosh!
An ice axe about ten meters long abruptly materialized in the air and fell toward Lin Yixin!
Lin Yixin's beautiful eyes were filled with stubbornness. She suddenly pulled out a dagger with her left hand and blocked the ice axe's attack diagonally. Her graceful and petite body was shaken by the Ice Breaking Slash and floated away like a leaf. A damage number jumped up above her head — 30982!
The parry was partially successful, but it wasn't enough to negate all of the attack's power. Song of Ice and Fire's Strength was higher than Lin Yixin's, but that wasn't to be expected. Lin Yixin was a light wanderer, a class that emphasized both Strength and Dexterity. It wasn't Lin Yixin's style to rely solely on Strength.
Lin Yixin used the momentum to float out of the attack range of the Ice Breaking Slash and stomped on the ground with her little boots. Then, she abruptly changed directions and charged toward Song of Ice and Fire. She lowered the dagger in her left hand and swung the Seven Star Veluriyam Sword in her right. Barrier Break!
Song of Ice and Fire didn't dare to take the attack head-on. He hurriedly dodged to the side and swung his arm at Lin Yixin's side.
Lin Yixin spun around like a corkscrew and brushed past Song of Ice and Fire in the blink of an eye. The Barrier Break from the Seven Star Veluriyam Sword penetrated Song of Ice and Fire's chest!
“60992！”
Song of Ice and Fire screamed in pain, but he wasn't angered at all. Instead, he was terrifyingly calm. He opened his palm and growled at Lin Yixin, "Bone Wall!"
Bang bang bang!
Three bone walls rose into the air and surrounded Lin Yixin from three different directions. To make matters worse, Song of Ice and Fire was charging toward her with frost covering his battle axe. He growled, "Frozen Flurry!"
The three-hit combo had a very high chance of freezing an enemy in ice. The success rate was over 90%!
"Beauty Lin is done for!" Li Chengfeng exclaimed.
Everyone held their breaths and stared at the battlefield.
… …
Lin Yixin stared blankly at Song of Ice and Fire's Ice Sealing Slash with her beautiful purple eyes. Suddenly, the Fruit Knife Goddess charged toward Song of Ice and Fire without hesitation, dagger in her left hand and sword in her right. Her fiery red cape looked like a ball of passionate fire as she rammed into Song of Ice and Fire's chest. Clang, clang, clang! Lin Yixin parried Song of Ice and Fire's attack so fast that most of us didn't even see how she did it.
Beauty Lin abruptly leaped into the air and kicked Song of Ice and Fire's chest with her knee, sending him flying into the air. Before he even hit the ground, Lin Yixin sheathed her dagger at lightning speed, grabbed the hilt of her sword with both hands, and plunged it straight into Song of Ice and Fire's chest!
"Pu!"
“67812！”
Lin Yixin unleashed another Ice Flame Slash from her Seven Star Veluriyam Sword and penetrated Song of Ice and Fire's body. It was another weak point attack!
“110298！”
Completely stunned, Song of Ice and Fire hurriedly used Ice Healing to recover his health.
Lin Yixin leaped over him and swung her Sword Boomerang. Then, she sheathed her Seven Star Veluriyam Sword and stared at Song of Ice and Fire with confidence in her purple eyes.
Behind Lin Yixin, Song of Ice and Fire dropped to his knees with a thump. He didn't even know what was going on before he was killed. Eyes filled with shock and disbelief, he turned into scattered light particles and flew out of the arena.
… …
Beside me, He Yi, Beiming Xue, Li Chengfeng, Gui Guzi, Stranger of Three Lifetimes and the rest of the experts were stunned speechless.
I looked at Li Chengfeng and asked, "Have you ever seen someone block Blitz Blaze and Thunder Slash in 0.3 seconds?"
Li Chengfeng shook his head and clenched his fists. "Fuck, no!
Just … just how strong is Lin Yixin? Lu Chen, do you think you can do something like that? "
I thought for a moment before replying, "The success rate is less than 30%, but it's worth a shot."
Li Chengfeng looked up and let out a long sigh. "It looks like my loss wasn't undeserved …"
I smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "Keep up the good work. Not everyone is as talented as Lin Yixin. Let's spar more often in the future, and I'm sure you'll surpass Candlelight Shadow!"
Li Chengfeng chuckled and clenched his fists. "Hmph, I won't rest easy until I kill Candlelight Shadow!"
… …
While we were talking, the second match on the arena had come to an end. Lin Yixin had defeated Song of Ice and Fire in 27 seconds with a helix maneuver. Although they were both top-tier experts, the gap between them was as clear as day. Moreover, Lin Yixin's helix maneuver was different from ours. She had incorporated the Butterfly Steps into her maneuver, and she looked like a butterfly. It made the ultimate PvP tactic look less murderous and more enjoyable.
