ZL Chapter 320 Quick Kill
“Hua……”
Matcha tried to move forward but was immediately slowed by Mu Xuan’s [Ice Cone]. Queen Mu Xuan wasn’t in a hurry to kill Matcha, so she only used one spell at a time to slow her down. Matcha did her best and used both her potions, as well as [Cleansing Wind]. But as before, it could not stop her health from draining away. In the blink of an eye, Matcha was left with only 20% health.
“Wuwu……”
Matcha could not do anything about Mu Xuan’s magic; she had neither a Swordsman’s [Blade Rush], nor a mount, and she could not move as fast as a Mage. She was being completely dominated. In that moment, she seemed to have come to a decision. Not far from the battle, her Illusionary Butterfly began to flap its wings, and activated [Vines of the Dancing Butterfly]!
“Shua!”
Green vines appeared from the ground and wrapped themselves around Mu Xuan’s snowy legs. Startled, she asked, “Huh? This…..is this a disabling skill? It can actually penetrate [Mana Shield]?
Matcha seized the opportunity and moved forward, using her shield to knock Mu Xuan’s pet leopard away. She activated [Heavy Strike] and [Flame Axe] right onto Mu Xuan’s [Mana Shield]. “Pa.” The [Mana Shield] shattered. Matcha then followed up with [Skyshaker Slash]. This was her only chance!
“Bang!
Matcha’s spear vibrated the air and landed on Mu Xuan’s shoulders, inflicting a long cut. Fresh blood gushed out and a large damage number appeared!
2817!
It was surprising how a Mage like Mu Xuan was still alive even after taking 3000 points of damage. She calmly waved her staff and activated [Indigo Sea Arrow] and [Pillar of Fire & Ice], engulfing Matcha’s beautiful body.
2615!
1928!
“Ahhhhhh” Matcha cried out as she slowly fell to the ground. In the end, she wasn’t able to kill Mu Xuan. It’s a shame that [Skyshaker Slash] didn’t produce a critical hit, or Mu Xuan would’ve been eliminated in the 14th round.
……
“Shua!”
Matcha returned to the room and angrily stomped her feet, “Wuwu, I actually lost……”
Little Wolf lifted his dagger and said, “It’s normal to lose against Mu Xuan. She is number two in Jiu Li City, and the Guild Master of a guild in the top 10. Losing is extremely normal…”
I nodded as well, “Yeah. Matcha’s done very well already. There will probably be more tournaments in the future…”
“Okay……”
At that moment, the final results of the tournament appeared. There were only 10 of the 20 people in the room left in the tournament. This, however, was already an impressive feat. Out of the total 7M people in the tournament, we had managed to have 10 of our own survive through 14 rounds. It could even be considered a miracle, since there were only 256 people left; the rest had been washed out. It was so miraculous that I feel as though Old K, Wolf, and the others must have had incredible luck to have not met any extremely strong opponents and survive until now.
Nearby, Old K carried his axe in one hand as he waved his other in front of him. I couldn’t contain my curiosity and asked, “Old K, What are you doing?”
“I’m praying…” He grinned.
“Praying for what?”
“Praying that I don’t meet an expert from the CBN Battlemaster Ranking Charts. What else would I be praying for? If I get someone like Jian Feng Han or Simple, I’ll kneel to the ground for sure…”
I couldn’t help but laugh, “Okay. I wish you good luck…”
Very quickly, the screen appeared again with our matchups for the next round. I couldn’t help but be nervous. My opponent wasn’t much but, Cang Lei and General Bai Qi’s opponents were pretty strong….
Xiao Yao Zi Zai [Lv 71 Dragon City Nightwatch] vs Stray Toad [Lv 67 Musketeer]
Cang Tong [Lv 70 Gold Assassin] vs Vicissitude Human [Lv 66 Gold Mage]
Cang Lei [Lv 67 Gold Berserker] vs Mu Xuan [Lv 70 Ice Flame Mage]
General Bai Qi [Lv 68 Gold Berserker] vs Lu Chunyan [Lv 70 Gold Swordsman]
……
General Li Mu raised his head to look at the screen and said, “I feel like… things are going to go to shit……”
“How so?” Little Wolf asked.
Li Mu stated, “Nothing good can come out of going against Mu Xuan. Ah Lei probably won’t be able to break her [Mana Shield] in one hit, while Mu Xuan can probably one-shot him with her spells. After all, Ah Lei doesn’t have the defensive skills Matcha has, like [Holy Shield] or [Cleansing Wind]. His strength is also limited; [Absolute Zero Megrez Wall] can hold for at most a few seconds. On the other hand, Bai Qi’s opponent is Lu Chun Yang…..F*ck, he’s an old rival.”
My eyes widened, “Lu Chun Yang. Isn’t he one of the founding members of [Legend]?”
On the side, Matcha nodded and said, “Yea. Fang Ge Que, Lu Chun Yang, Xuan Yuan Feng, and Chang Sheng Jue are the four godly experts of [Legend]. Lu Chun Yang is a master in fencing, and is regarded as one of the very best fencers. It’s said that he is a sword master in real life too, and isn’t inferior to expert level players like Jian Feng Han or Q-Sword. He has a 46% win rate against Jian Feng Han and a 41% win rate against Q-Sword; you can just imagine how strong he is……”
I pursed my lips and looked at Bai Qi, “Okay…… good luck Bai Qi. Destroy him……”
Matcha lightly smiled. She was not too depressed after her loss and had started to help us scout our opponents online. She looked at me and said, “Boss, your opponent is Stray Toad, a Musketeer. The fundamental reason he won in his previous rounds is pretty simple; he would use his [Blinding Shot] skill to blind his opponent. After that, he would use his Elite Illusionary Butterfly to immobilize the opponent and then kill them, bringing him to the 15th round.”
