Chapter 1258: Pressure Before The Finals
During their conversation, Signature Sword Tower and Nine Deities Arrow had already exchanged a few rounds of blows.
One had to admit that Nine Deities Arrow’s fighting style was pretty shameless.
By hitting and running, a Warrior like Signature Sword Tower was never going to match an Archer in terms of speed.
Nine Deities Arrow’s row of arrows constantly forced Signature Sword Tower back.
It didn’t take long for Nine Deities Arrow to force Signature Sword Tower right to the periphery of the wrestling ring with nowhere left to retreat.
Nine Deities Arrow smiled with pride as he pulled his trigger while aiming at Signature Sword Tower.
“Swoosh!”
A row of poisonous arrows flew towards Signature Sword Tower.
Signature Sword Tower clenched his teeth as he rolled forward to dodge the row of arrows. He quickly executed [Charge] towards Nine Deities Arrow again.
Because Nine Deities Arrow could dismiss the effects of [Charge] thanks to his skateboard, Signature Sword Tower had no intention to dodge.
Just when Signature Sword Tower was about half a metre away from Nine Deities Arrow, he suddenly came to a halt. He accurately thrust his sword forward into the observation hole of Nine Deities Arrow’s customised bow.
“!!”
Looking at this scene, the initially calmed Boundless Ocean looked slightly taken aback.
The observation hole of Nine Deities Arrow’s bow was not considered big. Even if he stood there motionless for others to try their luck, it wouldn’t be easy for anyone to manage to pierce through it with their sword.
Furthermore, Signature Sword Tower did it under such extraordinary circumstances. High-speed movement, sudden halt, raising his sword and piercing it through all within one breath. There wasn’t the slightest delay through the motion which was what made the accuracy of the entire move extremely impressive.
“Boom!”
After getting caught off guard, Nine Deities Arrow was struck above his nose. Concurrently, he pulled the trigger of his bow again.
Nine Deities Arrow’s job was an Archer so he did not have a lot of HP. Signature Sword Tower’s attack was fatal and Nine Deities Arrow died on the spot.
Because Signature Sword Tower had fought a previous round earlier and Nine Deities Arrow took away quite a significant bit of his HP, he wasn’t left with a lot. Now that he suffered the blow of nine arrows from such close distance, Signature Sword Tower died shortly after Nine Deities Arrow.
Looking at the mutual destruction, the spectators sighed endlessly. To think that there was still such a shameless job like Nine Deities Arrow’s in >.
Many professional experts started listing Nine Deities Arrow as a dangerous opponent, especially all the Warriors. After all, not many people could confidently claim that they could be as accurate as Signature Sword Tower to pierce through the observation hole.
…
Even though the following matches were also exciting, it was far from being as outstanding as Nine Deities Arrow’s performance.
Kyushu Squad had more than enough experience in dealing with Great Desolate Squad.
As expected, Kyushu Squad won the second and third round of the competition. Great Desolate Squad’s attained a result even worse off than previous years as they didn’t even make it into the top four.
The most pitiful person was probably Signature Sword Tower who bragged about being a master fencer. He had hopes of bringing honours to his ancestors by claiming the title in this tournament. He would never have imagined himself to be knocked out in the quarterfinals.
…
Having seen the best once, everything else was not worthwhile looking.
After the match between the number one and number two in the country, the next few matches were simply not exciting enough for the spectators.
All the top professional experts were basically gathered in Kyushu Squad. Even a strong team like Great Desolate Squad could only be their reserves so one could imagine the standards of all the other teams. It wasn’t that they were too weak but more of the fact that they couldn’t be compared.
In fact, a lot of the spectators even mentioned how the championship title should just be directly given to Kyushu Squad. After all, all the other squads were simply not on the same level as Kyushu Squad.
Of course, a competition like this shouldn’t be determined by votes of the spectators. Otherwise, wouldn’t this turn into an election? If this was the case, Team A Murder Of Crows would never have even made it through the preliminaries and the champion would definitely by Heavenly Fire Squad.
Once they left the arena, it started pouring heavily.
The Quan Zhen Sect’s emotions were just like the sky.
“What is going on? Why is everyone looking so gloomy?” Wang Yu couldn’t help but ask when they saw how quiet the originally chirpy and noisy Quan Zhen Sect was.
In the past even when they were surrounded by ten thousand over enemies, this bunch of fellas were still smiling and laughing away. So why are all of them looking so sad?
Fearless replied faintly, “What else? Everyone is feeling the immense pressure!”
“Pressure? You guys care about such things?” Wang Yu was even more curious now.
“Of course! We are also humans! Why can’t we feel pressured?” Everyone was not happy at how Wang Yu did not treat them like humans.
One must know that tomorrow was the last day of the competition.
While it was true that the Quan Zhen Sect did not fancy having a title like ‘number one in the world’ but deep down, they were incredibly competitive people.
If their opponents were like those that they had faced in the past, everyone could do their best to deal with them. After seeing Kyushu Squad’s performance, everything had changed. Even Fearless, who had always treated the Kyushu Squad as his defeated opponent, did not dare to feel the same as before.
This squad was clearly on another level as every other squad. They might suffer a humiliating defeat if they face them in the competition.
Defeat was something that everyone in the Quan Zhen Sect could take. However, it was also dependent on how they were going to lose.
Even shameless fellas like them were unwilling to get beaten up like a dog in the alley in front of millions of spectators.
There were a total of four teams left in the competition tomorrow which meant that there was a one-third chance of them meeting Kyushu Squad. How could everyone not feel the pressure?
“Oh! I see!” Wang Yu nodded, “All you weaklings! Don’t you think all of your psychological qualities are too inferior?”
“F*ck!” Everyone raged, “When you say something like that, can you think about how it will make us feel?”
Tsk! Experts that everyone feared were simply nothing worth no more than rubbish in the eyes of Wang Yu…
“Don’t worry!” Wang Yu changed the way he spoke, “With me around, what’s there to be afraid of?”
Everyone replied, “That’s not any better.”
“Alright, alright!” Fearless shook his hand, “You guys just don’t want to face Kyushu Squad, right? That’s easy!”
“Oh?” Everyone asked, “How? Are you going to bribe the game masters?”
“Tsk!” Fearless replied, “Can’t you guys think better of me?”
“So what suggestion do you have for us to avoid meeting Kyushu Squad?” everyone asked.
“Hehe!” Fearless continued, “Spear Dog’s Heavenly Dragon Squad also made it into the top four, right? We still have one chance to challenge an opponent.”
