Chapter 957: Tacit Collaboration
“How shameless!”
“A coward who only runs away…”
The Weapon Warrior raised his voice, “A draw!”
“Wow…”
The audience was at a loss for words.
Li Yi remained calm while The Mountain was dumbstruck. He thought he was going to win.
The Mountain was puzzled. “A draw?”
Li Yi walked towards The Mountain and revealed his HP bar. It was full.
“How did you…”
“The Hall of Fame Equipment Set has the minor effect of recovering a small amount of HP every second. Cough, Brother The Mountain, such an effect is common on equipment. Didn’t you know that?”
It completely threw The Mountain off.
Soul Staff Technique could remove 1 HP but Li YI’s Hall of Fame Equipment Set could recover around 500 HP per second. This was within the rules of the duel and different from taking potions to recover.
Li Yi’s earlier random firing was not due to panic but to coordinate with The Mountain for his amusement. If he was not certain, he would have blasted The Mountain out the ground immediately.
The Mountain awkwardly smiled. “A draw? Are we both out then? I’ll be damned if that’s the case. It’s better if I let you win.”
“It’s too late to say that now.”
Fortunately, the Weapon Warrior did not announce the disqualification of Li Yi and The Mountain. The numbers on the ground began to rotate violently.
Li Yi’s muscles relaxed. “Phew, it looks like we both made it?”
The Mountain’s brows eased up. “I hope my next opponent isn’t you, I don’t want to be out this early.”
The two exchanged smiles.
The rotating numbers stopped. This time, Li Yi and The Mountain were lucky as neither of them were chosen.
Another two participants walked up the stage. One was the Windcloud Clan’s fierce Thief, Windcloud Killer while the other was the former Little Drunk Cat’s super healer, Nirvana Inaction.
Ever since Nirvana Inaction had transferred to the Windcloud Clan, he had shared a great relationship with Windcloud Killer.
The duo went up the stage and smiled, in a display of friendliness.
With both parties nodding in agreement, the battle began.
“Brother Inaction, allow me apologize in advance!”
Windcloud Killer seized the first chance to attack. Yelling out loud, he swung his arm out to hurl a knife.
Szh —
Nirvana Inaction did not bother to dodge. Windcloud Killer’s flying knife flew seven or eight meter out of range.
“Light Blade!”
Nirvana Inaction unleashed a spell, gathering a ball of light before raising his staff to fire it.
The light ball did not hit Windcloud Killer. Instead, it made a dash into the sky…
“That was good!”
Shouted Windcloud Killer. He then made several slices with the dagger in his hand towards the air.
“Wham! Wham!”
Nirvana Inaction returned the favor by firing another two shots into the sky.
“Szh szh!”
“Wham wham!”
The duo was fighting with such vigor on stage, while the spectators below were gobsmacked.
Was this still a motherf*cking duel?
He was on his side, fighting on his own. He was on the other side, fighting on his own. Both of them were not in contact with one another. It was obviously a fake fight!
“F*ck me…”
“F*ck f*ck f*ck…”
“Can this be done?”
“What sort of strategy is this?”
Gasps filled the room.
Soon, the three minutes was over. Windcloud Killer and Nirvana Inaction ended the battle unscathed.
“Brother Inaction, you were great.”
“Brother Killer, so were you.”
“Hahaha, we’re the same.”
“The same.”
The two walked down the stage with arms around each other’s shoulder.
Weapon Warrior declared the battle’s result, “A draw!”
A Warrior with a temper jumped out. “I object! It’s obvious it was fake! How can they pass? You allow this?”
Carulla waved her arm at the Warrior. “Back down!”
“Back down your motherf*cking b*tchy *ss, they did not play fair, f*ck me…”
“Wham!”
A divine light shot out of the full moon scepter, blasting the mad Warrior to pieces.
“This Warrior has blasphemed the gods and lost the right to battle!”
The room was silenced.
The numbers rotated once again on the ground.
The Weapon Warrior announced, “Brother Simon versus Black Wing!”
The Warrior who had been removed was a member of the Fluttering Snow Alliance. The two participants selected were also from the Fluttering Snow Alliance.
Brother Simon and Black Wing walked up on stage, nodding at each other, the battle started.
Buzz buzz!
Wham wham!
Brother Simon flung his knife about while Black Wing firing his spells randomly. The two had a tacit agreement to fight without hitting each other. They were imitating Windcloud Killer and Nirvana Inaction’s earlier stunt.
Three minutes went by and Brother Simon and Black Wing ended the duel unharmed.
The Weapon Warrior declared the result, “A draw, both parties out!”
Two divine lights were fired from the full moon scepter, teleporting both Brother Simon and Black Wing out of the hall…
“Out for cheating…”
“What’s going on? Why could they do it, but they couldn’t?”
Everyone down the stage were at a loss.
The numbers began to rotate again…
The Mountain smiled, “The System auto-corrected the mistake. You can fool the rules once but not a second time.”
The numbers stopped at 3 and 18.
“Dark Wing versus Flying Fire!”
Picked again, Li Yi shook his head and walked towards the ring.
The Weapon Warrior, Flying Fire was an expert that had emerged in recent years. He was kind of famous in the Southern Continent but was still a long road away from Li Yi’s popularity.
Flying Fire pointed his glaive. “Dark Wing, you’re dead meat!”
Ten seconds later, Flying Fire collapsed on the ground.
“Dark Wing wins, Flying Fire’s out!”
The numbers on the ground rotated, stopping at 2 and 21.
Li Yi went down the stage as it was The Mountain’s turn this time.
Twenty seconds later, The Mountain gained an easy win.
The numbers kept going on the ground. Li Yi, The Mountain, and Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut were picked several times but none of them came across each other.
Little Elf from the Magical Realm did not have much luck as she encountered Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut on her first try. As she was not as skilled as Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, she was defeated.
Nirvana Inaction came across yellow-robed Priest, Ah Ye and after a struggle, he was defeated.
As the numbers kept jumping on the ground, countless players were defeated…
Two hours later, there were only five players remaining in the Ruler of Gods’ Palace.
The Mountain, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, Qian’er, BB East and Li Yi remained while the rest were eliminated.
The Mountain stroked his Orange Quality Quarterstaff out of habit and smiled at Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut. “I guess we’re going to be gods now, huh?”
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut turned away, refusing to look at him.
“Mm, there’s only five more…” God-queen Carulla suddenly spoke.
The five stared at the God-queen, waiting for her to answer.
“Mortal, you’ll accept the challenge of my divine servants. You’ll possess the right to Ascension once you defeat my divine servants.”
The Mountain was in shock. “Divine servants? Holy cow, we’re still not there yet?”
The Weapon Warrior wielded an ultra-long Frozen Saber and walked towards the ring.
“We still need to defeat him? WTH man?” BB East felt his head throbbing.
Szh szh szh szh szh…
The Weapon Warrior spun the Frozen Saber in his hands before stabbing it on the ground.
“Bam!”
A cold chill spread out, adding to his imposing grandeur.
God-queen Carulla coldly replied, “He is my first divine servant. If you wish to become gods, you must first defeat him.”
Zzh!
The name above the Weapon Warrior’s head was revealed. It was — Tyrant Sword King the Eighth!
