Chapter 708 - 620: Much Ado About Nothing (5)
The arena erupted with waves of shouts, the audience’s cries crashing like waves, one overtaking the other, bringing the atmosphere to its climax.
Everywhere you looked, support banners were rising and falling, the screen broadcasting excited faces; a girl with bunny ears noticed the camera aimed her way, flashed a peace sign, and smiled brightly; a teenager playing a game console stretched and yawned; an analyst with glasses glanced over; a girl named Square Q propped her chin on the railing; the world’s eyes were focused on this moment.
After days of fierce battles, the final showdown had finally begun, and the outcome was about to be decided!
Beneath the blazing blade, a girl with a face full of dust revealed herself, seemingly not yet recovered from the previous shock, holding a black box in her hands, her eyes revealing confusion.
Lu Shuhang narrowed his eyes slightly, seeing Bai Youyou’s Heavy Hammer aimed at him, he immediately waved his hand:
"Four-leaf Phoenix Tree, go grab the black box!"
Four-leaf Phoenix Tree, who was facing off against Angelina, heard this and transformed into golden lightning, flashing continuously, charging toward the girl.
Bai Youyou raised her hand, golden restrictive chains emerged from the air, binding the body of Four-leaf Phoenix Tree, heavy pressure descended from the sky, forcing the young man’s body to bend.
"Prisoner’s Shadow!"
Seeing this, Lu Shuhang held his weapon in front of him, shadows surged from the gaps of two daggers which emerged, and in the next instant, he turned into a shadow, appearing from Four-leaf Phoenix Tree’s surface, shattering the restrictions on him.
"Keep moving."
Without any hesitation, the two brushed past each other, Lu Shuhang rushed toward Bai Youyou, while Four-leaf Phoenix Tree continued to run toward Qi.
"Go."
Tang Xin moved quickly like her feet were skimming water, her pupils reflecting the figure of Qi.
Qi met those ice-blue eyes, as if facing a kaleidoscope of changes, this was the effect of the Fifth Tier Mind Judge’s general Word Spirit technique ’Mind Guidance’.
At the moment Bai Youyou overstepped, she launched ’Elegy of Life’, replicating the skill of Mind Guidance.
Under the suggestion of Word Spirit, Qi nodded blankly and ran towards the perimeter, just as Four-leaf Phoenix Tree’s hand reached for the girl, a String Sword blocked his path.
The String Sword thrust continuously, in the blink of an eye, Four-leaf Phoenix Tree transformed into lightning, dodging the blade, just as he planned to ignore Tang Xin and pass the girl, Tang Xin slightly parted her lips:
"How’s my new song ’Skywalk’?"
Four-leaf Phoenix Tree’s mind instinctively pondered this question, but almost immediately he realized he had fallen for the opponent’s ’Mind Suggestion’.
The effect of the Mind Suggestion was to add Dark Suspicion to a question, once planted with ’Dark Suspicion’, one could not think about anything other than the question until the ’answer is revealed’.
"Tsk..." Four-leaf Phoenix Tree gritted his teeth.
Damn it, unlike Kolodora, he wasn’t a die-hard fan of Tang Xin’s Burbird; he hadn’t even heard this song, so he obviously couldn’t answer this question.
Under the effect of ’Dark Suspicion’, a flood of meaningless information forced its way into Four-leaf Phoenix Tree’s brain, making it impossible for him to move, having to watch as Qi darted behind a crumbling wall.
Tang Xin approached with her sword, all of a sudden black fog emerged from Four-leaf Phoenix Tree’s body, freeing him from control, while not far away, Lu Shuhang experienced a brief moment of stiffness.
Golden lightning rose from beneath Four-leaf Phoenix Tree’s feet, he once again became a shadow, but this time, instead of charging at Qi, he launched a forceful Supersonic Kick towards Tang Xin’s face.
The commentator’s voice rose with excitement, and the audience gasped.
"Old Hang’s ’Shadow Parasite’?" Nanjia Mu immediately deduced what had transpired.
He chuckled softly: "How bold, this guy, did he really abandon his usual conservative tactics for this match?"
’Shadow Parasite’ is a general shadow-type skill of the Fourth Tier Shadow Attacker, considered one of the most notorious skills on the professional stage, its effect is to implant shadows onto touched targets, thereafter any benefits or detriments to the target will transfer to the user.
Silent Hand sprang from the ground, grabbing the rapidly moving Four-leaf Phoenix Tree, but in just a moment it was sliced into pieces by electric light from inside out.
"I don’t want to fight you." Four-leaf Phoenix Tree said coldly.
"But I’ll kill you."
Tang Xin remained calm, raising her hand to grant an enhancement to Silent Hand.
As the enhancement spun outwards, the ferocious Silent Hand roared, swelling in size, crushing and destroying nearby structures.
Golden lightning flashed among the buildings, in the next moment Silent Hand opened its fanged mouth, shattering buildings in its path. Four-leaf Phoenix Tree could barely catch his breath before Silent Hand was upon him, followed closely by the slashing of the String Sword.
Facing the combined assault of Tang Xin and Silent Hand, even Four-leaf Phoenix Tree, proud of his Divine Speed, was forced onto the backfoot, having to focus more on Tang Xin.
The String Sword and lightning clashed many times amidst the buildings, with the next clash, Four-leaf Phoenix Tree was suppressed by Silent Hand, silver moonlight pierced through his chest, blood splattered from a cross-shaped wound.
Tang Xin moved with graceful steps, like an elegant dancer, approaching as the young man was wounded.
"Young Master Zhou, help me!" Four-leaf Phoenix Tree shouted.
Two ivory gates unfolded around Tang Xin, and for a moment, Tang Xin floated in the air, as numerous pixel light waves rapidly enlarged in her eyes.
"What’s wrong, Four-leaf Phoenix Tree, can’t you handle an Enhancer without my help?"
Zhou Zhao’s teasing tone came through.
As he landed, he leapt again, with Angelina close behind.
"Youyou." As she fell into the gate, Tang Xin spoke calmly.
Bai Youyou understood her meaning.
The two acted simultaneously.
"Life Symphony." "Spirit Barrier."
The pixel light waves passed through Tang Xin’s body, blood marks appeared instantly.
"We can see, Player Zhou Zhao’s attack hit Tang Xin!" The host was about to shout when suddenly he was stunned, "Wait, Player Tang Xin isn’t hurt!"
The unresponsive Four-leaf Phoenix Tree was hit squarely in the chest by Silent Hand, flying backwards and crashing into a wall.
Zhou Zhao was stunned not far away, and in his daze, Angelina’s attack followed closely, but Yu Lan blocked this attack for her.
"Don’t daydream!"
Yu Lan shouted, swinging her scythe with all her might to force Angelina back.
"How can this be?"
He was certain his long-prepared attack landed on Tang Xin, with her fragile body, she should be gravely injured if not dead, considering Oasis is known for being glass cannons.
He got his answer soon enough.
He noticed Bai Youyou, who was dueling with Lu Shuhang on the other side, with blood still on the corner of her mouth.
The injury was transferred to Bai Youyou at that moment.
Was it ’Life Symphony’?
Zhou Zhao was amazed by the tacit understanding between the two girls.
But when it comes to coordination.
He was confident that no one could surpass the Assassin’s Creed!
Tang Xin reached the ruins, discovering that Four-leaf Phoenix Tree, who was bitten by Silent Hand, had vanished into thin air.
"Superstar, watch your back!" Angelina shouted.
The shadow surged, black fog swept over Tang Xin in an instant, momentarily she felt like she saw bones everywhere, a gaunt figure sat high on a throne, countless souls and ceaselessly collapsing cliffs under the throne.
The figure reached out to her, a decaying, dry forefinger brushed her neck, at that moment, Tang Xin felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, staring into the abyss.
She spun around sharply, Lu Shuhang’s emotionless face emerged from the shadow, his twin daggers crossed and slashed toward her!
