Chapter 266: Chapter 247: Rookie Tournament (26)
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
The Iron Saber struck the Leather Armor.
The three crisp sounds surprised Qi Yue.
That wasn’t the sound Leather Armor should make.
’Is she wearing Iron Armor underneath her Leather Armor?’
’Or maybe some kind of cosmetic outfit?’
’Or is this Leather Armor itself Special?’
Though surprised, Qi Yue’s attacks didn’t stop. She unleashed her second Continuous Dance.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
Another three strikes, yet the Leather Armor remained intact.
Jiang Die’s expression was savage. "You motherfucker, you want to die first? Fine, I’ll grant your wish! I’ll slaughter you, then kill Zhao Chi!"
Seeing she couldn’t get away, Jiang Die simply struck a combat stance.
Suddenly, the Longbow in her hands shortened.
The bowstring began to glow with a white light.
A faint Vortex swirled around Jiang Die, and her entire right arm began to shine with the same white light.
"I was saving this move to kill Zhao Chi, but since you’re so eager to die, I’ll oblige you! Go to hell!!"
The next moment, Jiang Die’s arm moved so fast it left afterimages as she abruptly drew the bowstring.
Qi Yue couldn’t see her arm’s movement clearly.
But she knew it was incredibly fast.
Even faster than her Continuous Dance.
In an instant, the Arrow was loosed.
SWOOSH!
THWUMP!
The Arrow pierced Qi Yue’s left chest.
Qi Yue cried out in pain as the Arrow bored deep into her chest and lung.
The Arrow’s power was immense. It felt less like being hit by an Arrow and more like taking a gunshot.
’That really packs a punch...’
But Qi Yue, whose Mood was excellent, was still smiling.
"Hee hee, let’s see who breaks first, then! Continuous Dance, Continuous Dance, Continuous Dance, Continuous Dance!!"
"Breaks first? With what? You’re just a piece of trash who isn’t even a Lord!" Jiang Die sneered savagely. "A pity I can’t truly kill you. Hmph, die!!"
Suddenly, the white light flared intensely.
Jiang Die’s right arm, the bowstring, and the Arrow all vanished from sight.
All that could be seen was a dazzling halo of light.
’So fast!’
Qi Yue lamented inwardly, but she continued to slash with all her might.
Jiang Die retreated hastily, desperately trying to create distance.
But she couldn’t shake Qi Yue at all.
One saber, one Bow, both with incredible Attack Speed.
Qi Yue couldn’t even see Jiang Die’s Arrows, so dodging was out of the question.
Jiang Die could occasionally see Qi Yue’s saber, but seeing it and dodging it were two different things. Qi Yue’s strikes almost always found their mark.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
After just two seconds of exchanging blows, Qi Yue was already severely wounded.
But she still hadn’t broken through Jiang Die’s Leather Armor.
That was definitely not Ordinary Leather Armor; it had to be made of some Special Material.
Its Defense and Durability were extremely high, far surpassing Iron Armor.
It was, in effect, a piece of Treasure Armor!
’It seems a good piece of Equipment can really make a difference at a critical moment.’
Qi Yue ached all over.
She didn’t have time to look closely, but in her peripheral vision, she could see her Body was riddled with Arrows, especially her chest and abdomen.
The shafts were invisible, buried deep within her Body. All that stuck out were the mottled white fletchings.
But now, the fletchings were dyed blood-red.
Qi Yue gritted her teeth, blood spraying from between them, but even more gushed from her wounds.
Yet her gaze remained sharp.
’It’s just pain. Endure it!’
’But it really hurts so much...’
’Tang Ruan’s Talent is really something else... to actually feel expectant when getting injured...’
’But I will break the Durability of that Lord’s Leather Armor!’
’So painful... my head is spinning. Just hold on a little longer. A few more Continuous Dances and I’ll definitely get her!’
Qi Yue clenched her jaw, forcing herself not to cry out in pain.
Just like when she was under Zhao Chi, she remained silent, enduring it quietly.
She used Continuous Dance once more!
Jiang Die was utterly disdainful of Qi Yue’s attacks.
’A trash Female Hero with a trash Iron Saber wants to break my Armor?’
She was not only disdainful but completely unconcerned.
But a careless glance almost made her cry out in shock.
’My Treasure Armor, how is its Durability already down to half?’
’When did it drop so much?’
Another slash landed, and the Armor’s Durability dropped again.
Jiang Die’s attacks didn’t stop, but inwardly, she was reeling in shock.
’This little bitch. Her slashes are fast, fine, but why are they so heavy?’
’Does she have 6 points of Power?’
’But an Attack with 6 Power should be even stronger than this...’
’She couldn’t possibly have 7 Power, could she?’
’Impossible!’
’Wait... why did its Durability drop even more this time?’
’Does this bitch have a Special Talent?’
’Is my Treasure Armor about to break?’
’Absolutely impossible!’
’Motherfucker...’
"AHHHH!! Motherfucker! Die die die die die!! Why aren’t you dead yet!?"
Jiang Die couldn’t help but scream, sounding as if she were on the verge of a breakdown.
Qi Yue was battered beyond recognition.
A huge, bloody hole had been torn through her chest and abdomen.
The only things keeping her on her feet were her immense Will and the Mood Bonus.
Qi Yue could no longer open her eyes. She clenched her teeth and unleashed her final Continuous Dance.
CLANG! CLANG! SQUELCH!
Qi Yue smiled.
A satisfied smile.
Though her consciousness was fading, she could feel the feedback transmitted through the blade.
The first two strikes had still landed on that hard Leather Armor.
But the final strike cut into something soft.
The sensation was familiar. It was a woman’s Body.
’I broke her Defense!’
’I hit Jiang Die!’
WHOOSH~
Jiang Die’s left arm flew through the air, gushing blood, still clutching the glowing shortbow.
Jiang Die stared blankly at the sky, her right hand still mechanically making the motion of drawing a bowstring.
Of course, there was nothing for it to pull.
’My arm... is severed?’
’My Treasure Armor was shattered just like that?’
’Why is she so strong?’
’She was so fragile! Just one more second, that’s all it would have taken!!’
A tide of pain washed over her.
Jiang Die let out a heart-wrenching scream, "AHH—MY ARM!"
Qi Yue could no longer see.
Due to excessive blood loss, her vision had gone completely dark.
She couldn’t hold on any longer and collapsed heavily.
"My Lord... I’ve completed my mission, haven’t I?"
