Chapter 636 - Finishing Move

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The most overpowered part about Retribution Thunder was the way it triggered the Disorient status. There was an extremely high chance of activation, and once it took effect, the target would stay disoriented.

“Dark Devour!”

Of course, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was not going to just stand there and let him do as he pleased. Black smoke engulfed him and removed all of his status effects, putting an end to Retribution Thunder.

“Retribution Windstorm!”

A gust of blue wind shot out from Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s fingertips, surrounding Ah Ye in an instant.

“That’s all your equipment!”

Jiaojiao looked at Li Yi, fire burning in her eyes.

Li Yi just shrugged helplessly.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth strode forth and stamped his foot at Ah Ye.

“Mad Dragon’s Roar!”

“Bam!”

Ah Ye’s body was lifted into the air and thrown backward.

“Blade Storm!”

“Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh…”

The Iceblade kept spinning Ah Ye in mid-air, and after a mere three spins, Ah Ye’s HP hit zero.

[Maylia’s Punishment Windstorm (Special Skill): Reduces target’s DEF by 50%, trapping target in the eye of the storm. Also reduces SPD by 100%. Lasts for 12 seconds. Skill Cooldown: 5 minutes.]

The second match was over, and Tyrant Sword King the Fifth emerged as the victor!

With his combination of special skills, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth turned the tables on Ah Ye.

The results of the battles were Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had 1 point and Ah Ye had −1.

“Make your bets! Dark Wing versus Ah Ye, the odds are 1 to 100. I bet Dark Wing’s gonna win, who dares to try me?”

With dark circles under her eyes, Autumn Love hollered loudly. In order to earn money, she had not slept and was still hanging in there.

“I wouldn’t do it even if it was 1 to 1000.”

“Me neither…”

“I’m not interested…”

The players’ responses were quite lukewarm for one very simple reason —it was a matter of classes.

Windcloud Brother Nine and Unending Unmatched could not do anything to Ah Ye because their ATK was not high enough. It was the same for Shoot Until Daybreak too, but what about Li Yi? Sure, he no longer had his equipment and the special skills that came with them, but as long as he still had his Orange Quality Bow, who would ever think his ATK was too low?

Autumn Love called for clients all day and only received a dozen small bets. They did not even total up to a hundred Gold Coins.

“Well, a grasshopper leg is still meat…”

Ten minutes later, Li Yi and Ah Ye’s match began.

Just as the players predicted, even though Li Yi did not have his special skills, his ATK was still high enough to take Ah Ye down.

His instantaneous explosive power was more than enough. Once he activated God Mode, what did it matter if Ah Ye had infinite healing? How could he withstand that?

The automatic counterattack, Retribution Thunder, was very powerful, but Li Yi could easily evade it by moving as he shot. As long as he did not stop moving, as long as he did not stay in one place, he could evade Retribution Thunder with ease.

With Violent Bear’s Protection and God Mode, Li Yi maintained a stranglehold on Ah Ye over both matches and won with plenty to spare.

Having suffered two consecutive defeats, Ah Ye had lost the rights to fight for the crown. Next, Li Yi and Tyrant Sword King the Fifth would compete for the title of champion, and the loser would play Ah Ye for the second and third places.

The main dealers began to call for bets again, but no one was feeling particularly confident, so they did not receive many takers.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was not as renowned as Li Yi, but all of his equipment came with special skills. He could enforce or remove status effects, while in comparison, Li Yi seemed to be at a disadvantage in every aspect.

His ATK was not as high as Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s, and neither were his special skills as all-encompassing. All he had over his opponent was his reputation.

“How are we doing this?”

All of the dealers were playing a ridiculous game with extremely low odds and extremely high commission rates. This was especially true of Autumn Love, who did not dare to ask players to bet against her. Instead, she went with a humble commission-based board.

It was just a tiny remuneration, but while she did not earn much, the advantage was that she would never lose any money.

Jiaojiao rested her chin on her hands and sighed softly. “Lil Yi’zi, you’re gonna lose this time.”

“Why’d you say so?”

“All of Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s equipment used to be yours, and what do you have now? Just a stupid Orange Quality Bow. What will you do if he uses his special skills to control you?”

“That’s true, why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

“You… Y-Y-You really piss me off, gah!”

Jiaojiao stood up in a temper and turned her back against Li Yi, fuming.

Li Yi smiled slightly and walked into the arena.

Seeing Li Yi come onto the stage, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s curled his hands into tight fists.

He had been secretly investigating Li Yi and Gongsun Chuqian’s relationship for a long time now. It was no longer a secret that there seemed to be something between them, and as Gongsun Chuqian’s fiance, only he knew how he felt about that.

Smiling, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth sent Li Yi a message. “Guild Master Dark Wing, why don’t we make another bet?”

Li Yi’s eyes lit up. “What do you want to bet?”

“If you lose, please stay away from Lil Qian.”

“Oh?”

“Do you know what Lil Qian’s family situation is like?”

“I don’t.”

“Haha, let me tell you, she comes from a family bigger than you could ever imagine. The two of you will never work.”

“Oh?”

Li Yi and Tyrant Sword King the Fifth stood on the stage, smiling on the surface, but in secret, the two of them were exchanging private messages.

“I wanna ask, just what is your relationship with Qian’er?”

“I’m her older brother.”

“By blood?”

“By acquaintance.”

“Oh, in that case, what does my dating Qian’er have to do with you?”

“Haha, I’m just advising you that her status is beyond your reach.”

“So you’re saying it’s within yours?”

“Haha…”

“Brother Tyrant Sword, if you want to bet money, I’ll gladly play along whenever. However, if you’re using Qian’er as a bargaining chip, then I’m sorry but you don’t have that right.”

“I don’t have the right? Hahaha, what a joke, I…”

“You don’t. I’m telling you, Qian’er is my woman. She was mine in the past life, and she still is in this one!”

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s face had nearly gone green with fury at those words.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

After three strikes of the gong, the battle commenced.

Li Yi did not move, and neither did Tyrant Sword King the Fifth. The two of them stood there like statues, but there was a glittering Hunt Target above Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s head, courtesy of Li Yi.

After a long while, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth roared out loud and dashed forth with Charge.

Fire erupted from underneath Li Yi’s feet as he used his Rocket Propellant to escape.

“Retribution Windstorm!”

A gust of blue wind shot out and instantly enveloped Li Yi.

“Blade Storm!”

As she watched Tyrant Sword King the Fifth spin his way to Li Yi, next to the stage, Jiaojiao covered her face with her hands. “It’s all over…”

Li Yi had not summoned his Violent Bear yet, which meant he only had fifteen thousand HP. Now his body could not move, and his DEF was halved. If Tyrant Sword King the Fifth hit him now, how could he possibly survive?

“Elimination Arrow!”

Just as Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s blade was about to touch Li Yi, Li Yi suddenly leaped up and shot an arrow at Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.

He was still enveloped in Retribution Windstorm at the time, too.

“F*ck, what’s this?”

“How can he still move?”

There was an uproar in the stands.

“Smack!”

The Elimination Arrow hit Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, and the red damage figure appeared…

[−752223]

It was a KO!

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth fell to the ground, his gaze disbelieving.

The crowd was utterly quiet, eerily so.

Was that a guaranteed kill?

Was the Elimination Arrow really that deadly? No way… no way, it should not be possible even with the Overlord Arrow.

The damage players dealt to monsters was completely different from how much they dealt to other players. The latter was affected by the victim’s equipment and level, which greatly reduced the damage taken.

Take Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s Retribution Windstorm for instance. If he used it on a monster, each hit would deal at least 20,000 in damage, but when used against a player of the same level, it would only shave off two to three thousand HP.

The same applied to the Archers’ extremely deadly Overlord Arrow. It was vicious when used on monsters, but if the shot hit a player of the same level, it would deal significantly less damage. This was due to their equipment levels, also known as their Gear Score or GS.

The higher their GS, the more damage subsidized, and vice versa.

Under normal circumstances, forget using Elimination Arrow to deal more than 700,000 damage, even the Overlord Arrow would not be able to accomplish that. At the very most, it would not deal more than 50,000 in damage, and that was only if he achieved several special effects simultaneously, including Interruption, a Critical Hit, Weakness, and so on.

Li Yi’s shot defied all logic!

Besides, most importantly, he was clearly being enveloped in the Retribution Windstorm when he launched his attack. Why could he move?

There was rapturous applause from the stands, with Queen Jiaojiao at the fore. Gongsun Chuqian was just the same, clapping her fair hands and laughing non-stop.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth crawled to his feet and stared at Li Yi, his expression livid.

It had occurred to him that he might lose, but losing after one hit was still too much for him to take.

Li Yi’s expression was exactly the same as before. He was calm and unmoving…

“This kid’s aura is just like the boss’,” Scumbag Wang shook his head.

Lonely Perfume asked, “Leader Scum, who’s our boss?”

“The Huashan Guild Master, a BAMF who’s won me over with his skills.”

As Scumbag Wang said that, he looked at The Cat that Sings.

“Sister Cat may not be a member of our Huashan Sect, but she’s definitely got a thing with our boss, so we gotta respect her just like we would our parents.”

“Leader Scum, that doesn’t sound quite right… Cough, hey, Leader Scum, who’s that Warrior standing next to Sister Cat?”

Lonely Perfume pointed with a finger and Scumbag Wang was equally confused.

There was a tall Warrior dressed in armor standing next to The Cat that Sings. His body shape looked a little like that Fake Fengxi dressed in black from earlier, but that name above his head…

Lonely Perfume hazarded a mean-spirited guess, “Could it be Sister Cat’s new toy boy?”

“F*ck!”

Scumbag Wang abruptly got to his feet and pulled out his kitchen knife.

“Brothers, follow me and let’s kill him. F*ck, how dare he make a move on our boss’ girl!”

Eight hundred members of the Huashan Sect howled as they attacked Jiggly.

“Lil B, why do you keep changing your name?”

“I’m sick of being Fengxi, and I don’t get enough attention as Jinkela. I thought about it over and over, and I realized I might as well be Jiggly. Hehe, Cat, I’m Jiggly and I…”

“Jiggle my *ss!”

“Cough! Watch your manners…”

“Manners my *ss!”

Before the second match even began on the stage, chaos erupted off-stage.

The Huashan Sect attacked Jiggly and forced him into PK, causing an uproar. As a result, every single one of the eight hundred members was sent to the small black room for detention.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

The second match began. With a wave of Li Yi’s hand, a golden Hunt Target appeared above Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s head.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth looked up at it, and his body was instantly engulfed in black smoke.

“Dark Devour!”

Once the black smoke dissipated, the Hunt Target had vanished as well.

“Charge!”

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s body shifted into a shadow as he crashed into Li Yi mercilessly.

“Bam!”
