When the Quan Zhen Sect saw that their Assassins disappeared, everyone gathered back to each other. Even Fearless also hurried back to stand back to back with each other behind Crotch Lord.
While this was happening, Boson was already fighting Old Cow.
While both of them were awakened experts, one was a retired professional player while the other was an ordinary player with outstanding talent. In terms of coordination, the retired expert Old Cow held the advantage. In terms of level, equipment and skills, Boson was slightly better so overall, both of them seemed pretty evenly matched.
Old Cow started the attack with [Charge] and after he was knocked back by Boson, he immediately executed his [Tornado Slash]. While wielding his two-handed sword, he surged over like a windmill.
When Boson saw that he was about to be chopped up the sword, he lowered his head and executed his [Triple Slash Technique] to fight Old Cow’s sword radiance.
[Triple Slash] could not be attacked while in a displaced state so Boson managed to arrive in front of Old Cow without getting hurt. With a kick on Old Cow’s thigh, Old Cow’s [Tornado Slash] was instantly disrupted and shortly after, Boson used [Rising Strike].
As a Warrior’s elementary skill, [Rising Strike] did not have a high damage output. However, it was a skill which could result in an airborne effect.
During players’ PK, airborne was a relatively good control effect. Once the target was airborne, they would lose all abilities to fight back. The attacker will then be able to seize that opportunity to use all kinds of ultimate moves on him.
However, Old Cow was naturally experienced especially as a retired professional. There was no way he would be struck into an airborne effect by an ordinary player so easily.
When Boson disrupted his [Tornado Slash], Old Cow already predicted Boson’s next move. He casually used his sword to block his chest.
“Duang!”
When the two swords clashed, a deafening sound could be heard and Boson’s skill was blocked.
At the same time, Old Cow gave Boson a taste of his own medicine as he used the same [Rising Strike].
When experts fought, they would usually fake skills to exhaust the opponent’s CD. Once the opponent executed his move, one could land the fatal strike.
Therefore, when experts fight, they are mainly testing each other out. Eventually, one move would usually be enough to determine the winner. This was the main difference between PVP and PVE.
In the beginning, Boson showed mercy to Old Cow but once this move managed to hit Boson, there would not be an end to the skills that were going to hit him continuously. At that time, It was more unlikely for Boson to survive.
Without waiting for Old Cow to succeed, someone shouted ‘underpants’ and a thick lightning bolt descended from the sky onto Old Cow’s head.
At that moment, Old Cow was burnt from within.
Fortunately, Old Cow was dressed with good equipment so he did not die on the spot.
Simultaneously, Ming Du shouted from behind Boson, “F*ck! How can he not die after suffering my [Berserk Thunder]? Is he a Guardian or Weapons Master?”
Ming Du’s attacks were extraordinarily powerful so after suffering that direct blow, Old Cow wasn’t far from death. After being attacked out of nowhere, Old Cow was naturally infuriated as he stared at Ming Du and cursed, “I am your father…”
However, it was a real pity for Old Cow. Before he could even complete his sentence, Boson saw the opportunity to finish him off with a simple move.
“F*ck! Slaughter that despicable man!”
Seeing how Ming Du ambushed Old Cow out of nowhere, the Twelve Celestial Bodies were stunned. All of their hatred was drawn towards Ming Du.
Archers and Magicians gathered their attacks on Ming Du.
Yang Nuo and Ling Longmeng were not giving in as the two Archers started firing at the opposition’s Magicians.
Yang Nuo’s level of coordination was not low and because of her freestyle mode, her accuracy might not be the best. On the other hand, Ling Longmeng was pretty accurate but her damages were not significant enough.
The Magician, Rabbit, from the Twelve Celestial Bodies was not weak herself as she took a few steps to hide behind Guardians. She managed to make use of Tiger and Crotch Lord to prevent herself from being in the vision of the two Archers.
However, Rabbit was also unable to release her magic skills. While Yang Nuo and Ling Longmeng didn’t manage to kill their opponent, they were able to restrain her. During this time gap, Ming Du immediately teleported to behind Crotch Lord’s shield. He learnt from the others as he got himself off the range of fire.
However, Ming Du’s movements meant that he got out of the squad’s formation. The moment Ming Du landed and was about to catch his breath, a figure suddenly appeared behind him.
That Assassin had a long face with two tiny beards. This person was none other than Chen Long.
As the leading Assassin of the Twelve Celestial Bodies, Chen Long killed people decisively and cleanly. The only reason why he was tortured and humiliated by the Quan Zhen Sect was because he picked the wrong opponent.
Wang Yu and Yang Nuo were two exceptional beings that nobody could ambush.
Ming Du was a vicious person but he was still considered ordinary when compared to martial artists. The moment Chen Long appeared, he wiped out Ming Du without giving Fearless a chance to heal him.
After getting rid of Ming Du, Chen Long didn’t say anything as he tried to stab Crotch Lord from the back.
At this time, the squad’s tacit understanding was put to test.
If it were any ordinary Guardian, one would definitely turn his head once he felt an Assassin behind him. However, an expert should know to never expose his back to the enemies. Otherwise, his squad might just be exterminated within seconds.
Chen Long’s choice to attack Crotch Lord was so that he could get him to turn his head.
Of course, Crotch Lord was naturally not the type to fall for such tricks. Instead, he chose to trust his teammates completely.
Just before Chen Long’s dagger could reach Crotch Lord’s back, a dark circle appeared underneath Crotch Lord’s feet. It was indeed Spring Halo’s [Dark Barrier].
When Chen Long saw this, he hurriedly jumped out of the range of the barrier. This was when Vainglory jumped out to take down Chen Long on the spot.
The fact that Chen Long dared to enter the opponent’s formation by himself meant that he was prepared to die. Just before he died, he slapped a trap on the ground.
Vainglory landed.
“Pata!”
Once the trap was triggered, Vainglory was rooted to the ground. Within seconds, arrows from faraway struck and turned him into white light.
Almost concurrently, Darknorth Fisher and Frost Blade appeared within the opponent’s formation. One after the other, they got rid of two experts of the Twelve Celestial Bodies.
The remaining players gathered and slashed Frost Blade to death while Darknorth Fisher managed to escape alive.
…
Whether it was the Quan Zhen Sect or the Twelve Celestial Bodies, both squads were well-coordinated in terms of their job allocations.
Therefore, whether it was in terms of individual strength or group cohesiveness, both squads could be considered to be the top of the level. They were evenly matched on all aspects.
They took turns to kill each other which resulted in a devastating battle.
After playing the game for such a long time, this was the first time the Quan Zhen Sect suffered such a huge loss in terms of death counts. Frost Blade and Vainglory were not the only ones killed as even an experienced man like Ming Du was killed.
The Twelve Celestial Bodies were even more pitiful. In just a few exchanges of blows, they had one more death than the Quan Zhen Sect. This was the worst state they had been in, ever since their retirement. Moreover, the opponents were not even professionals so how could these fellas bear such humiliation?
