Chapter 824 - 778: Wuhe Xinglong
Farolan Arena, within the Elf Clan renowned as the strongest in PK, this place along with the market barracks, is always the most bustling and noisy spot in the city. Even late at night, the arena still had hundreds of wildly popular PK rooms bustling with people.
Now, a group of bar friends from the Dawn Goddess Tavern came to the arena, opening a public room to witness the PK between Blood Slaughter and Wuhe Xinglong.
Honestly, the bar friends initially decided to give some face and cooperate with Blood Slaughter for his mission, but for some reason, Wuhe Xinglong suddenly slammed the table and issued a challenge: "What the hell do you count as! I’m tired of watching you act tough, challenge you to a PK!"
That really surprised all the bar friends, especially Blood Slaughter, as Wuhe Xinglong’s strength wasn’t particularly outstanding, making it almost impossible to challenge the dual-profession Blood Slaughter.
Blood Slaughter was also stunned on the spot: "Are you wasting my time, you son of a b***h?"
Wuhe Xinglong sneered: "Who was the one talking about an unsatisfied PK just now?"
Blood Slaughter said grimly: "Alright, you’ve got guts!"
Then let’s PK. Everyone here are lone players from the tavern, with very aloof personalities. Although there’s usually some information exchange among them, friendship is out of the question. Their relationships are very much like cowboys in bars—the rangers of Dragon Gate Inn—ready to get physical at any moment over any disagreement.
At this moment, Blood Slaughter and Wuhe Xinglong faced each other just one arrow’s distance away in the arena, while the bar friends in the audience watched coldly. To them, who wins or loses doesn’t matter. What matters is that they want to witness a high-level PK.
Sure enough, a player capable of mingling in the highest-grade tavern like Dawn Goddess is undoubtedly the peak strength among solitary players in the China Region. Although professional guilds have formidable players, their members are bound by guild activities and can’t spend long periods in a tavern like these independent players, who often possess secrets even the large guilds lack, with many extraordinary talents among them.
Eternal Star always valued this grassroots community, even considering assimilating them. However, those subjugated by large guilds are definitely not top players. Top players are eccentric and arrogant, unwilling to be absorbed. In particular, this Blood Slaughter gives Eternal Star a headache.
Now, after obtaining an S-class Unicorn Blinding Ring, Eternal Star felt it was time to deal with this thorn in the side. Now, the big screen on the wall relayed the live video of the arena as Eternal Star watched with anticipation.
Blood Slaughter impatiently said, "Let me ask again, are you an idiot or just because you think I’m out of gear now that you can ride over my head?"
Wuhe Xinglong coldly replied, "It’s because you’re without gear that I didn’t feel right to mess with you! Otherwise, I would have already come after you."
Blood Slaughter, irritated, laughed back: "Fine! I’ll reshape your world view in a matter of seconds!"
—System Prompt: The match begins! Enjoy the competition!
In an instant, Blood Slaughter immediately activated the Master-level Ranger’s evasive divine skill, Sword Dance, and his entire being became a shimmering blur, his first guarantee of invincibility in PK.
Gale Step activated! Blood Slaughter transformed into a series of afterimages as he began encircling Wuhe Xinglong. A unit moving at high speed greatly increases the chance of evading long-range arrows, marking his second assurance of invincibility. Coupled with the effect of Sword Dance, his evasion was astonishing enough to face an entire team of archers singlehandedly, moving like the wind!
Blood Slaughter charged within shooting distance, raising his crossbow—high-speed mobile shooting!
To date, only the Beastman Race’s level 2 centaur unit in the game had this divine skill. However, the centaur’s large body size severely minimised the evasion advantage brought by high-speed mobility, and mobile shooting itself has a glaring accuracy issue. Even the worst-aiming, lowest-hitting Skeleton Archer could rely on the "Hollow Skeleton’s" counter-shooting divine skill to take down a centaur!
Nonetheless, mobile shooting remains an undoubted divine skill. Once in the hands of a top player, it becomes an exceedingly terrifying assassination divine skill!
When Blood Slaughter raised his crossbow, he knew he’d wasted his time on a boring clown. Without suppressing my attack speed, evading my evasion, or matching my attack to compete with me, how dare you challenge me?
At this moment, a dazzling white light flashed in Wuhe Xinglong’s hand, casting a white light over Blood Slaughter’s screen!
—System Prompt: You are affected by the Blinding Skill, you’ve entered a blinded state!
Ridiculous! To waste a chance with such a trivial trick!
Blood Slaughter immediately took out a bottle of Purification Potion worth 300 Gold Coins and drank it down, yet the screen remained in white light!
—System Prompt: You used a Strong Purification Potion, but it cannot remove the blinded effect!
What?! A blinding skill that even a strong potion can’t purge? Blood Slaughter was shocked at this moment!
And at the next moment—BANG BANG BANG!!! "-114!" "Lethal Strike-375!" "Lucky Strike-224!", every shot hit, and every arrow met its mark!
—System Prompt: The match is over! Wuhe Xinglong defeated Blood Slaughter!
At this moment, the gathered bar friends were in uproar! Watching from behind, even Eternal Star couldn’t help but clap in satisfaction: "Time to shame him."
At this time, Blood Slaughter was in disbelief: "How could this be possible? Let’s go again!"
Wuhe Xinglong sneered disdainfully: "Are you wasting my time, you idiot? Are you sure your brain wasn’t slammed by a door?"
Blood Slaughter said in a deep voice: "Tell me, where did you get that ring?"
Wuhe Xinglong sneered: "I also ask you, where did you lose your gear components? Many people saw you leave town with Da Fei that day. Therefore, a person should know their limits. Did you really think you were unbeatable? I used to let it slide with you, enough arguing with a half-baked imbecile like you—my apologies, but I don’t want to see some clown showing off in the tavern anymore. Stay away if you’ve got any self-respect!"
With that, Wuhe Xinglong exited the room, as did the group of bar friends with a shake of their heads, leaving only a startled and stunned Blood Slaughter on the spot. After that night, he never returned to the Dawn Goddess Tavern again.
At this moment, in front of the big screen, Eternal Star clapped and laughed heartily: "Refreshing! Watching the show really is satisfying as hell!"
Wuhe Xinglong laughed: "Sorry to have let you see a spectacle, boss."
Eternal Star laughed: "Some people are like mad dogs, thinking people refrained from stepping on them because they feared them. Xinlong, keep performing well, maintain unity in the bar, be humble, don’t be arrogant. You’re still far off compared to Da Fei and the few Japanese players, lacking any base for arrogance."
Wuhe Xinglong laughed: "Rest assured, boss. I believe my rapport in the tavern is decent, and after this performance, everyone’s opinion of me will surely change. I guarantee I’ll quickly complete this Lumang Tribe mission."
Eternal Star nodded in satisfaction: "Keep it up, I’m waiting for your good news before dawn." (To be continued.
