Chapter 375: Chapter 356: Counterkill in Despair
According to the plan agreed upon by Tian Ci and Red Eyes, during the assassination of Divine Hall Yingying, Red Eyes would make the first move for safety’s sake. If unable to kill the target, Tian Ci would finish the job.
However, neither of them expected that Divine Hall Yingying had such a skill, causing Red Eyes to directly enter the opponent’s encirclement and be instantaneously killed by focused fire.
In mid-air, Tian Ci witnessed all this, but he didn’t rush to save Red Eyes, because making a move now would be pointless apart from risking himself.
As an excellent assassin, sending himself to die is something that would never happen to Tian Ci.
With everyone’s levels rising and equipment constantly updating, life-saving skills have become increasingly numerous. Although such a situation is unexpected, it was also within expectations.
As a core member of Divine Court, who would believe that Divine Hall Yingying wouldn’t have some life-saving tricks? Tian Ci certainly didn’t believe that.
Immediately, Tian Ci began searching for the escaped Divine Hall Yingying among the crowd.
Soon, in an inconspicuous corner, he saw Divine Hall Yingying hidden behind several burly men.
Tian Ci flapped his feather wings in mid-air, slowly approaching the target, just in time to hear Divine Hall Yingying say:
"I knew you would come to assassinate me. Fortunately, I was prepared."
Tian Ci hovered two meters above Divine Hall Yingying, sneering:
"Is that so?"
Divine Hall Yingying suddenly realized: One Red Eyes is dead, but there’s still a Tian Ci!
How could he have been forgotten so easily? Divine Hall Yingying cursed inwardly: "Damn it!"
Before she could react, Tian Ci appeared behind her, a dagger pressed against Divine Hall Yingying’s neck, coldly snorting:
"Throat Slashing"
"Pssh"
"-3604"
Half of Divine Hall Yingying’s life value was instantly depleted, but Tian Ci didn’t hear the system notification for killing her: She wasn’t dead yet!
"Bastard!"
Divine Hall Yingying, glaring at her remaining 1 life point, rolled awkwardly on the ground in fury:
"Kill him for me."
Failing to instantly kill Divine Hall Yingying shocked Tian Ci for half a second, but that half-second cost him the best chance to escape.
Watching Divine Hall Yingying charge into the crowd, Tian Ci snapped back to reality, ignoring his own peril, quickly activated his skill:
"Blood Seal Throat (Third Transformation New Skill)"
Three daggers appeared in Tian Ci’s hands and simultaneously shot towards Divine Hall Yingying.
One dagger hit Divine Hall Yingying’s back, but the result showed:
"Invalid"
Tian Ci silently cursed:
"What a resilient life."
The surrounding players had already reacted:
"Courting death!"
The two burly men with shields activated a skill towards Tian Ci:
"Charge!"
As the Shield Warrior was about to close in, a light orb suddenly landed at Tian Ci’s feet:
"Arcane Burst"
A "Boom" erupted
Several nearby fragile ones were instantly killed, and those Shield Warriors were knocked back by the explosion’s shockwave.
Lin Yi suddenly appeared over Tian Ci’s head, hurriedly saying:
"Hurry and go."
Tian Ci didn’t dare to linger, immediately running back, fleeing to the cliff wall to avoid skills.
After waiting 3 seconds to exit combat, he then did a backflip off the cliff wall, wings spreading, and soared into the sky (Upon landing he must exit combat to fly again).
All this happened in merely an instant.
If Tian Ci had made the slightest mistake in the previous actions and failed to exit combat, his fate would have been the same as Red Eyes, instantly killed by the surrounding Divine Court players.
Tian Ci left, and Lin Yi, amidst the exclamations of the crowd, descended like a celestial god, flapping his wings as he cast a skill towards the direction of Divine Hall Yingying:
"Arcane Nova"
After the skill was cast, Lin Yi didn’t even have time to observe the outcome, swiftly soaring over the heads of the crowd, flying into the wind and snow in the sky.
Then a wave of skills fell into thin air, exploding like fireworks in the sky.
At this moment, amidst the crowd, Divine Hall Yingying unwillingly gazed at the soaring Lin Yi, cursing loudly:
"Bastard!"
"+2100"
"-3544"
Just as Divine Hall Yingying’s health was being replenished, she was instantly killed the next moment by a Magic Nova.
At this time, a priest, quick-sighted and deft, cast a skill at Divine Hall Yingying:
"Resurrection Technique"
Divine Hall Yingying, who just fell, stood up again, face full of ferocity, gritting her teeth:
"Feng Hua!"
"I will not let this go!"
To think, the first time Divine Hall Yingying was killed, it was at the hands of Lin Yi.
In subsequent competitions between Divine Hall and Feng Hua, Divine Hall Yingying had also died numerous times at the hands of Red Eyes and Tian Ci.
As Lin Yi of the Creation Mercenary Corps, the grudge naturally lay upon Lin Yi to bear.
At this moment, amid the chaotic escape, Divine Hall Yingying inadvertently returned to the location where Red Eyes was previously killed.
...
"You have died, please choose:"
[Resurrect on the spot] Chances: 1 [Return to City]: Free
Countdown to choose: 15
[Resurrect on the spot]
With Lin Yi’s exit, just as the members of Divine Court Guild thought they could catch their breath, Red Eyes had quietly stood up and immediately entered Stealth.
This led a nearby attentive player to rub his eyes, puzzled, saying:
"Was it my imagination?"
On the snow peak, Zhang Xinying approached Lin Yi:
"Shall I go resurrect Xiao Jie (Red Eyes)?"
Lin Yi glanced at the Divine Court players below and shook his head:
"No need."
He then explained:
"It seems they were prepared in advance. You might be instantly killed if you head down there."
Seeing this, Zhang Xinying could only abandon the thought of going down to resurrect Red Eyes.
At this moment, on the World Channel, Divine Hall Yingying was furiously cursing:
[World] Divine Hall Yingying: "Creation Mercenary Corps, I will never rest with you!!!"
The people on Snow Peak Mountain looked bewildered:
"What happened?"
"Didn’t they fail to kill her? Why so much resentment?"
At this moment, Red Eyes said pitifully in the team chat:
Red Eyes (Team): "Sister Feng, can you come down and give me a hand? Dying would drop me a level!"
It was only then that the others realized that Divine Hall Yingying was actually killed by Red Eyes!
No wonder her World Channel posts were so furious.
Everyone laughed:
"Well done on the kill."
Meanwhile, Lin Yi, addressing Shuai Diao Zha and three others, said:
"You guys come down with me one more time to draw attention."
"Xinying, follow behind and look for a chance to save someone."
Everyone responded in unison:
"Alright!"
And the news of Divine Hall Yingying’s defeat quickly reached Zui Gui, causing Shengshi Zui Gui to laugh heartily:
"Well done!"
Proud Gaze then suddenly suggested:
"Since inside already made a move, shall we act too?"
Shengshi Zui Gui immediately decided:
"Order everyone to charge in for me."
At this moment, Wei Xiao voiced concern:
"What about after we go in?"
Shengshi Zui Gui dismissively said:
"Kill all those Divine Court members with all our might. If they dare act, I’ll personally settle this score."
"Go!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Xiao refrained from saying more:
"Alright, I’ll go arrange it now."
Proud Gaze said in his guild channel:
"Brothers, charge in for me."
The largest guild brawl since the game launched officially began.
