Chapter 265: Chapter 246: Rookie Competition (25)
A yellow light scattered from Xia Zhi. "Follow my orders! Fire at the enemy soldiers immediately!"
The Female Elves felt like they were going insane.
In just a few seconds, their Moods had swung from high to low.
One moment they were furious, the next, calm.
But the Arrows in their hands never stopped.
SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH!
SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH!
Half were aimed at Tang Ruan, the other half at the Female Soldiers.
Another 2 Female Gunners were shot and killed, and 2 more were heavily wounded.
But this was their limit.
Tang Ruan and the remaining Gunners had already closed the distance.
The 6 Female Archers had also killed 1 Female Elf and shot 2 more out of the trees.
The melee began.
It was finally the Female Soldiers’ home turf.
The Female Soldiers gritted their teeth, tightened their grip on their Long Spears, and attacked without hesitation!
"That Arrow you shot me with really hurts! My turn now! Thrust!"
"Get down here! Thrust!"
"Running? Where do you think you’re going?"
Long Spears pierced through flesh, followed by a series of screams.
The few Elves on the ground were quickly dealt with.
Several Female Gunners quickly climbed the trees, forcing the Elves up there to jump down and scatter.
The Female Archers coordinated their fire as well.
The Battle Result was already one-sided.
Tang Ruan fixed her gaze on Xia Zhi. Xia Zhi had been hit by 2 Arrows and was in agony as she ran, unable to move fast at all.
But Tang Ruan was different.
Tang Ruan had also been hit by multiple Arrows.
It hurt her more to run than it did Xia Zhi. Her sensory system was normal, so she felt the intense pain, but at the same time, she found it enjoyable.
Therefore, Tang Ruan’s Movement Speed was still extremely high, and she quickly caught up to Xia Zhi.
The tip of Tang Ruan’s spear was already glowing red.
Xia Zhi sighed as if accepting her fate.
She had already done her best.
"Hee hee, giving up already? Thrust!"
Tang Ruan’s figure flashed.
Xia Zhi closed her eyes and died.
"Phew~ That hurts so good."
Tang Ruan pulled the Arrows from her body, watching as blood once again covered her.
’If Qi Yue were here, she would definitely think this is a waste.’
’She might even hug me and lick all the blood clean.’
Tang Ruan rested for a few seconds as the wounds on her body rapidly recovered.
But the other Female Soldiers didn’t have this Ability and could only take potions to recover slowly.
It had to be said, Jiang Die’s Female Elves were indeed very strong.
They had managed to kill several more Female Soldiers by the end.
They had started with 16 Female Gunners and 6 Female Archers, but now only 8 Female Gunners and 4 Female Archers remained.
The loss rate was nearly half.
If Tang Ruan hadn’t feigned death the first time, they might not have been able to win.
Jiang Die’s strength was truly impressive.
Gu Qing thought so as well at that moment.
After bidding farewell to Zhao Chi, she quickly caught up with the Female Swordsmen squad.
Qi Yue also returned to the main force after killing Miao Yun.
After entering the forest, Gu Qing and Qi Yue were also ambushed by Elves.
Without Tang Ruan using herself as bait, Gu Qing and the others were hit with a fierce assault right from the start.
"Fire! Fire! Shoot those bitches dead for me!" Jiang Die’s furious roar suddenly erupted.
Elves suddenly appeared in the nearby trees.
Every one of them drew their bows and fired.
Jiang Die, in particular, drew her Longbow to its limit and shot viciously at Qi Yue.
Just moments ago, Qi Yue had instantly killed Miao Yun right in front of Jiang Die and escaped unscathed.
This had naturally ignited the flames of rage in Jiang Die’s heart.
But Qi Yue dodged swiftly, and the Arrow embedded itself deep into a tree trunk.
The other Elves each found their targets. The 23 Arrows were like Soul-Chasing Locks, and in an instant, 16 of the 20 Female Swordsmen were either dead or injured.
Screams of pain filled the air.
But Gu Qing was already prepared.
She spread her arms, and a brilliant light radiated out.
It covered the bodies of all the Female Soldiers.
Fortunately, only 6 were killed. The other 10 heavily wounded soldiers were quickly healed by Gu Qing, and the lightly injured were an even simpler matter.
At the same time, fresh blood gushed from Gu Qing’s palm, forming a spreading blood mist.
The air turned pink.
The smell of rust filled the surroundings.
The Elves felt it was extremely strange.
Jiang Die also raised her guard. "This is... Blood Spirit Technique? How is Zhao Chi so unorthodox? Why are all his women so bizarre?"
Blood Spirit Technique was indeed a fearsome type of Skill.
After all, abilities related to blood were usually rather cruel.
Gu Qing’s Ability could be said to be related to Blood Spirit Technique, but it had nothing to do with cruelty.
On the contrary, it was a very gentle Ability.
The Female Soldiers felt the blood mist in the air and a sense of reassurance in their Inner Hearts.
Gu Qing gave the order, "The enemy is strong! While they’re nocking their arrows, kill them quickly! Go!"
"Yes, ma’am!"
All the Female Soldiers charged out.
These Female Swordsmen had all their Shields destroyed, but without the restraint of heavy Iron Armor, they were even more agile.
With a running start, they could kick off a tree trunk and leap high into the air.
A light pull on a branch with their left hand was all it took to vault into the tree, closing in on the Elves above.
The Elves’ speed was also extremely high.
They could at least fire a second volley of arrows before the Female Soldiers reached them in the trees.
But the Elves in front of Qi Yue had no such opportunity.
"Heh heh, all of you, get down!"
beams of moonlight shone as 12 Moon Blade Slashes shot upward from below.
The Moon Blades fanned out around her, spreading in all directions like a blooming lily.
This time, Qi Yue didn’t target any specific Elf. Instead, she aimed to drive them from the trees and, at the same time, interrupt them from drawing their bows.
It was very effective.
Elves immediately repositioned.
Some jumped down from the trees, moving and turning to shoot back.
Some leaped to other trees, forced to put away their Longbows.
Two others were directly struck and fell, landing injured on the ground.
In the end, only 11 Arrows were successfully fired in the second volley.
This time, only 2 Female Swordsmen died; the rest were all healed by the blood mist and Healing Skill.
But once the second volley was over, the remaining Female Elves in the trees had no choice but to move.
The Female Swordsmen had all reached the treetops, and the Female Elves fled in a panic.
The Elves on the ground were out of luck.
These Female Swordsmen hadn’t enhanced their Defense and were fragile. But their Attack Speed was higher, their Movement Speed was faster, and their killing power was greater.
This was especially true when it came to killing these fragile Leather Armor Elves.
"Continuous Dance!"
"Oh? Still running? You call this speed running? I thought you were taking a stroll! Continuous Dance!"
"Don’t be afraid. You’ll be released from your suffering soon. Continuous Dance!"
"Little Elf, your neck is so slender. I wonder if I can sever it in one slash? Continuous Dance!"
"The cries of Elves sound so fake. I don’t like it. Continuous Dance!"
PFFT PFFT PFFT PFFT PFFT PFFT!
In an instant.
Droplets of blood splattered everywhere.
This blood wasn’t Gu Qing’s; it belonged to the Elves.
Under the Iron Sabers of the Female Swordsmen, these Female Elves quickly withered away.
They didn’t even have time to resist.
Even the Duration of their screams was short.
As long as a Female Swordsman caught them, death was only a moment away.
Jiang Die was dumbfounded.
Her lips trembled slightly, whether from wanting to speak or from sheer shock.
She, too, had been forced out of a tree by one of Qi Yue’s Moon Blade Slashes. She stood at a distance and fired a few Arrows, only to find that all her Female Elves had died within seconds?
’What the fuck is going on?’
Jiang Die’s scalp tingled with fear. ’How is the killing Efficiency of these Female Swordsmen so high?’
’Can the Continuous Dance Combat Skill really be this strong? Why can they execute the entire Continuous Dance in less than a second?’
’So this Combat Skill is actually that fast?’
’Or did they enhance their Attack Speed?’
’No, that’s not right.’
’Their Movement Speed is clearly so high, they couldn’t possibly have any Enhancement Points left to increase their Attack Speed.’
’And their Defense isn’t low either.’
’What the fuck is this? Do they have some kind of Special item?’
’The Zhao Family of Stream Village... they’re just a weak family. How could they produce a Lord like this?’
’And Zhao Chi?’
’Why haven’t I seen Zhao Chi?’
’Did he go over to where Xia Zhi was?’
Jiang Die stopped shooting and began to retreat rapidly.
’There’s still hope!’
’As long as I can kill Zhao Chi, I can win this battle!’
’Zhao Chi isn’t here, so he must be where Xia Zhi was.’
’I just need to go and snipe Zhao Chi.’
’I will definitely win!’
"What are you thinking about? How can you be so distracted? Continuous Dance, hee hee."
A cheerful female voice came from behind her.
The voice was delicate and gentle.
But it made Jiang Die’s hair stand on end.
"Fuck!"
She felt as if the shock would make her heart stop beating.
She hurriedly dodged to the side and saw Qi Yue’s smiling red lips.
"It’s you?"
Jiang Die’s eyes widened. She found it hard to accept.
Her own Agility was a full 7 points, far exceeding other Lords of the same Level.
Moreover, she was wearing a cosmetic outfit that increased Movement Speed and had also enhanced her Movement Speed.
She was extremely confident in her own speed.
’How could I possibly be caught?’
But that was the reality of the situation.
"Hee hee."
Qi Yue smiled and struck with her blade.
