Chapter 17

If we don't count the Yin corpse, the enemy has four people, and we have three. We are outnumbered, but we have the advantage in quality.

The balance of victory will lean towards us as long as we take out Qing Songzi or the tone-deaf musician. Tianxia Guihuo (World Returns to Fire) has already been eliminated by me.

Of the tone-deaf musician and Qing Songzi, the musician's music slaves are spiritual bodies, which are countered by me and Sun Miaomiao. His "sonic wave" attacks are also countered by the Land God's helmet. As long as we break through his armor defense, we can eliminate him. Qing Songzi, on the other hand, is good at close combat, agile, with unfathomable stamina, and has inherited Tianxia Guihuo's blade, making him much more difficult to deal with than the tone-deaf musician.

But Zhang Yuanqing believes that Qing Songzi should be eliminated first, because only Qing Songzi and Yuan Ting in the arena can use the reporting function. (Note 1) Putting himself in their shoes, the enemy will definitely try their best to eliminate the Land God, who only has 1 point left, in the most cost-effective way.

Yuan Ting has already been turned, so as long as Qing Songzi is eliminated, the Land God will be safe for half an hour, and half an hour is enough to end this battle.

After figuring out the pros and cons, Zhang Yuanqing took a step back, raised his hand to cover his mouth, and lowered his voice, "Sun Miaomiao, you hold back Yuan Ting and Zhao Chenghuang. Land God, you restrain the tone-deaf musician, it would be best if you can kill him. I'll go deal with Qing Songzi." Dividing the battlefield and defeating them one by one is the best strategy.

Sun Miaomiao recalled the scene where Tianxia Guihuo shattered Yuan Shi's weapon with a single blow, and then looked at the narrow-bladed long knife in Qing Songzi's hand, frowning and whispering, "Can you do it? I have to tell you, I can't hold Zhao Chenghuang for too long."

The Land God also cast a doubtful gaze.

As one of the top eight players, Qing Songzi is not a pushover. Although he is definitely not as good as Yuan Shi, when an agile Wood Demon has a sharp weapon that can cut hair, his combat power will be greatly improved. And Sun Miaomiao can't delay for too long. Yuan Shi might be able to defeat Qing Songzi, but it is very difficult to eliminate him by force in a short time.

Neither Sun Miaomiao nor the Land God thought he could do it.

"One minute, I'll eliminate Qing Songzi within one minute." Zhang Yuanqing covered his mouth to prevent the enemy from reading his lips. One minute... The Land God and Sun Miaomiao raised their eyebrows.

Yuan Shi's words were full of unparalleled confidence. Could it be that he hadn't used his full strength in the past few games? But how is that possible?

While the two were surprised, Zhang Yuanqing's body disappeared into thin air in everyone's sight, and his Yin corpse, Undead No. 1, rushed towards Qing Songzi. Target is me? Qing Songzi was shocked. He retreated while holding the knife and shouted, "Attack!"

At the same time, a strong anger surged in Qing Songzi's heart. Did Yuan Shi think of him as a pushover? He felt insulted. The tone-deaf musician immediately raised his bamboo flute, put it to his mouth, and played a mournful tune.

The shrill and mournful sonic waves pierced the eardrums and brains of everyone present like steel needles, bringing a soul-trembling pain. Musicians at the transcendent stage have three skills: pacify, encourage, and hypnotize.

But the tone-deaf musician doesn't use any of them, because his bamboo flute can only play one kind of tune. It cannot pacify, hypnotize, or encourage. This tune directly damages the spiritual body, and when superimposed with the musician's sonic wave damage, its power is so great that even a Level 9 Night Walker, known for his powerful spiritual body, cannot withstand it.

There is no need to use the musician's professional skills at all.

Shuiganglun

The ground beneath the tone-deaf musician suddenly bulged, and dark brown mud formed two large hands, gripping his ankles. The Land God, wearing a leather jacket and leather pants, rushed forward, like a horse escaping from its stable, leaving everyone in the dust.

He regarded himself as a siege vehicle, recklessly and unreasonably ramming into the thin young man in the distance. The soul-piercing sonic waves had no effect on him.

Seeing this, the flute music suddenly became rapid, and two hazy figures floated out of the bamboo flute, one with a graceful posture and the other with a burly figure. Two music slaves roared out, crossed each other, and met the Land God.

Although sonic wave attacks are useless, the essence of music slaves is a spiritual body. The possession ability of a spiritual body interferes with the body, not the soul. This is an ability that the helmet cannot defend against.

Two music slaves crashed into the Land God's body, vying for control of his body.

The Land God's bull-like momentum stopped, and he froze in place.

The Land God let out a "heh" sound, took a deep breath, and his chest and abdomen contracted sharply. The cigar in his mouth was sucked until its red light was bright.

"Whoosh!"

He spat out white smoke towards the tone-deaf musician a few meters away. No, it wasn't white smoke, but a dense and thick fog. The fog covered the tone-deaf musician who was trapped in place. The flute music stopped, replaced by the tone-deaf musician's violent coughing. He was poisoned.

On the other side, Qing Songzi, who witnessed this scene, quickly calculated in his mind.

The tone-deaf musician has chest armor to protect him, and although the Land God's defense is strong, his attack is weak. The battle will be difficult to resolve for a while.

He looked in the direction of Zhao Chenghuang again and found that the two Night Walkers were charging left and right, sometimes running forward and sometimes backward, but they would always return to their original places. Not far from the two, Sun Miaomiao's eyes were dark, and a nightgown-clad female ghost stood behind her, trying her best to maintain the illusion.

Sun Miaomiao was actually able to trap Zhao Chenghuang and Yuan Ting of the same profession at the same time. As expected of a top three powerhouse, but she can't trap two fellow disciples forever... Qing Songzi observed the situation and knew what he had to do.

Stall for time!

Wait for Yuan Ting and Zhao Chenghuang to break free and enter the arena, use their numerical advantage to reverse the situation. Greenery emerged from under Qing Songzi's feet and quickly spread, forming a circular lawn with a diameter of eight meters, centered on him.

The principle of this move is similar to spreading flour on the ground, observing the invisible person through footprints.

It can effectively prevent attacks from Night Walkers.

The grass is not undulating. Yuan Shi hasn't come... His Yin corpse is watching from the sidelines, not attacking... Qing Songzi is not flustered.

The tone-deaf musician's flute music interrupted Yuan Shi's attack rhythm just now. Now that there is no flute music to interfere, he still isn't attacking?

It's good that he's not attacking. Stalling for time is beneficial to us.

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, black smoke suddenly rose from Qing Songzi's face. His rationality quickly fell into negative emotions. He clutched his head in pain and screamed, his eyes bloodshot, like a madman, like a beast. Deng deng deng... The Yin corpse outside the lawn moved, rushing into the lush green circular area, its muscles undulating as it ran, like a hunting leopard.

Suddenly, Qing Songzi held his head with one hand and grabbed a three-inch-tall wooden figurine from his inventory with the other.

Black smoke rose from the wooden figurine's head, making "chi chi" sounds. The black smoke became thicker and thicker, while the black smoke on Qing Songzi's face became thinner and thinner. "Kacha!"

The wooden figurine cracked.

The black smoke on Qing Songzi's face disappeared, and his rationality returned.

Looking at the Yin corpse close at hand, Qing Songzi revealed a cold smile.

When dealing with Maoshan warlocks, Yuan Shi used this trick. In his assessment, this trick was one of Yuan Shi's trump cards, far stronger than other methods, and it was difficult to defend against.

Therefore, Qing Songzi prepared a consumable item specifically for this trick.

A consumable item derived from the Witch Gu Master profession.

Among the law-abiding professions, only high-level Water Ghosts and high-level Night Walkers can break curses and pollution. Scouts count as half, but these are not possessed by items at the transcendent stage.

He couldn't access or use items from the Saint Realm.

After thinking about it, he still had to learn from the enemy to defeat the enemy.

So he used his connections to buy this consumable item from a branch elder. The name is "Substitute Puppet." When the user is attacked by filth, depravity, curses, etc., the puppet can withstand the attack once for the user. Qing Songzi casually threw away the cracked puppet, held the narrow-bladed long knife, and strode forward, meeting the Yin corpse.

He wanted to catch Yuan Shi off guard.

He wanted to rely on the sharpness of the armor and weapon to cripple Yuan Shi's Yin corpse.

He seemed to see Yuan Shi's heartbroken and angry expression. During his high-speed sprint, Qing Songzi suddenly changed his center of gravity by relying on the flexibility of a climber, avoiding the Yin corpse's straight punch with a deflection that violated the principles of mechanics.

Kachazi His ankle twisted, his body rotated, facing the side of the Yin corpse. Qing Songzi roared and thrust out the narrow-bladed long knife, using the sharpness of the weapon and the strange power of the Wood Demon. "Pfft!"

The tip of the knife stabbed into a layer of gray light screen, and the light screen was stabbed into a concave shape.

It would break at any time, but it was blocked after all. This Yin corpse has the defensive characteristics of an Earth Monster Qing Songzi's expression changed drastically.

At this time, he saw tender green wild grasses being trampled on, and the curved wild grasses formed footprints, rapidly approaching him.

Yuan Shi's attack was coming.

At the same time, the Yin corpse beside him let out a beast-like roar and pounced suddenly. With Undead No. 1's close combat ability, even an agile Wood Demon couldn't retreat calmly.

Qing Songzi didn't retreat. He calmly retracted his knife, grabbed a wooden stick with his left hand, and the hard wooden stick suddenly softened, spun like a propeller, and formed a wooden shield. "Peng!"

Qing Songzi raised the wooden shield, lowered his waist and hips, blocking the Yin corpse's powerful punch. His eyes were always fixed on the approaching footprints. When it reached him, the muscles in his right arm, holding the narrow-bladed long knife, bulged.

The long knife swept horizontally, bringing a sharp sound of tearing through the air.

He was confident that this knife could force Yuan Shi back. In the past few battles, Yuan Shi had never used defensive items.

And if Yuan Shi had to exchange injuries for injuries, he wasn't afraid. Night Walkers have strong vitality and good self-healing power, but how could they compare to a healing warlock?

"Pfft"

The blade seemed to have struck something, but there was a lack of resistance. It didn't seem like a solid object. It was more like he had struck... water?

In a second, Qing Songzi saw the splashing water, saw Yuan Shi, who was showing his figure after being attacked. He was wearing a long robe with a black base, red flames embroidered on the hem and cuffs, and silver waves embroidered on the chest.

This Night Walker ignored the horizontal sweep of the long knife and thrust the forty-centimeter-long Liu Ren (willow blade) into Qing Songzi's chest. A Water Ghost's skill, he has an item from the Water Ghost profession... Pain twisted Qing Songzi's face.

He kicked Yuan Shi away, blocked two punches from the Yin corpse, discarded the narrow-bladed long knife, and quickly retreated. Even though his heart was pierced, his movements were still agile, like an ape good at climbing.

Blood gushed from Qing Songzi's chest, and a green light condensed on the wound, trying to repair the injury, but he tried his best, only slowing down the bleeding rate.

The bloodthirsty blade's bleeding function restrained the Wood Demon's recovery.

I haven't lost. I still have a chance for "resurrection." When I'm in a dying state, I can be resurrected with full health. Activate

★...In the following time, I will rely on my agile characteristics to avoid Yuan Shi and the Yin corpse's attacks and stall until "resurrection"

Qing Songzi remained calm in the face of danger and quickly formulated a strategy. He discarded the narrow-bladed long knife, which was too heavy and would affect his agility in this situation.

《The Ultimate Evolution》

The Wood Demon's flexibility is now his only reliance.

Suddenly, there were two muffled sounds of "peng peng" from his back. Qing Songzi's shoulder blades cracked, and he staggered forward.

He was attacked? He looked back in shock and anger, only to see a pair of brand-new and exquisite red dancing shoes a few meters behind him, rising and falling strangely, as if an invisible person was wearing them and stepping in place.

An item from the Night Walker profession? Looking at the terrifying and strange red dancing shoes, Qing Songzi's face twisted again. A thought roared in his heart, "Why does he have more items!"

How can he have so many items!!" Dada da.

This small chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading the wonderful content behind!

The red dancing shoes came running with hurried steps.

Qing Songzi unfolded the tangled wooden shield, turning it into a long whip. He flicked his right arm, and with a "pa," the whip made a cracking sound, lashing towards the red dancing shoes.

The two items "collided" in mid-air, and neither interfered with the other. The two seemed to be in different spaces.

Not a physical body? No, if it doesn't have a physical body, how did it kick me just now? After falling to the ground, Qing Songzi continued to roll.

...Qing Songzi lunged to the side, avoiding the red dancing shoes stepping on his chest.

With two bangs, impact craters remained on the ground where he rolled.

Zhang Yuanqing cooperated with the red dancing shoes, dealing a set of outputs. Although he didn't hit the agile Wood Demon, the tightly connected attacks made Qing Songzi exhausted to cope with.

As soon as Qing Songzi bounced up, a pair of fists were in front of him.

He tilted his head slightly, narrowly avoiding a punch, and then felt a sharp pain in his chest. The pair of red dancing shoes stepped on the wound.

Qing Songzi's eyes went dark, and his consciousness suddenly dissipated.

Under a series of blows, the Wood Demon, who had a strong vitality, finally ran out of energy and entered a dying state.

The next second, a powerful vitality poured out from his weak body, like cracked and dry fields ushering in new water.

His mind cleared, and he only felt that his limbs were full of strength.

I'm resurrected!

An excited look appeared on Qing Songzi's face, and then he heard the Lingjing (Spirit Realm) prompt sound:

[Ding! You are dead, you have been eliminated!]

In Qing Songzi's last vision, he saw a blood fountain gushing from his neck, and Yuan Shi stood with a blade, bathing in blood. Qing Songzi's body turned into white light and disappeared. The second player was eliminated.

In Yuan Shi's relentless pursuit, this Wood Demon, who held a sharp weapon, persisted for less than a minute before being eliminated. The Land God in the distance stopped "beating" the tone-deaf musician, with a look of surprise on his face. "It really didn't take a minute. You kid hid your strength."

Sun Miaomiao suddenly turned around and happened to see Qing Songzi disappear.

So strong... Sun Miaomiao's confidence and pride as a top three player were shocked.

Before this, she had always firmly believed that she was stronger than Yuan Shi, but now, she only felt that this was a very dangerous player.

In the arena, the audience finally stopped being silent and quiet. Cheers and shouts rose and fell.

This is the top eight competition. This is wonderful!

"The fighting style of threatening to take off your pants, can carbon-based creatures think of it?" "So strong! Qing Songzi lost too quickly."

"The rhythm is all on Yuan Shi's side. Does it feel like he suddenly became stronger?"

"It's not suddenly becoming stronger, it's that he didn't use his full strength before. Damn, was this guy hiding his clumsiness in the previous battles?"

"Doesn't that mean that Yuan Shi can be in the top three even if he participates in the arena competition?"

"Not that exaggerated. He did hide his clumsiness, but not much. Those dancing shoes and robes don't seem to be particularly strong, they can only be considered excellent. Excellent items can't threaten the top three players."
