Volume 3 Containment Operation Chapter 48 Final Victory
With my exit, the key to victory or defeat became whether we could successfully contain Supreme Honor and prevent him from using the artifact again. Judging from the battle between him and Long Xing Tianxia, the "Holy Cross" should be activated by mental power. Facing Long Xing Tianxia's aggressive offensive, he simply retreated and focused on defense. He would never use skills unless he had to. Although Bai Yunjian also joined in the attack on him, "Thunderbolt Lightning" fell one after another, but he relied on his rich experience and a little bit of luck to dodge them and did not suffer a fatal blow. And the Holy Heaven, who had just given him a white light, was also very stingy in using mental power. He only tried his best to defend with the help of his pet Guangzhu, and even preferred to suffer a little damage himself, rather than easily consume it.
Having lost her mount, Golden Sunflower also lost her advantage in speed. She was aware of the situation and tried her best to stop Holy Heaven from supporting Supreme Honor with a series of violent attacks. However, under the interference of the opponent's naked pig, she gradually lost control of the situation. Although the final fatal blow finally pierced the naked pig and killed it, Holy Heaven finally won the opportunity to shoot out a white light to supply Supreme Honor.
A huge cross phantom appeared above the head of Supreme Honor again. I was so anxious that I was jumping up and down on the sidelines, but there was nothing I could do. I could only watch the landing point of the golden light column and secretly pray that Long Xingtianxia and the others would be lucky enough to dodge the attack and survive.
The "Holy Cross" did not attack Long Xingtianxia and Bai Yunjian, nor did it look for trouble with the Golden Sunflower which had already suffered once. Its target was the Yamato Spirit who was fighting fiercely with the Angels in the Human World. He should be the most combat-capable among us on the field. When he realized something was wrong, he was about to dodge, but was entangled by the Angels in the Human World. The Angels used their bodies to withstand a "double cut" and refused to let him get away. A "collision" knocked him back again, and he was forced to fully absorb the golden beam of light shot at him. He withdrew from the game on the spot.
At the same time that Supreme Honor used the artifact to launch an attack, the Golden Sunflower that Saint Heaven had gotten rid of quickly rushed up again, taking advantage of the opportunity that he had just finished supplying Supreme Honor and was unable to take care of himself, and launched an attack. Saint Heaven, either due to physical exhaustion or mental exhaustion, did not dodge or resist effectively, and was repeatedly hit by the Golden Sunflower. Bai Yunjian was always slippery, and seeing that he could not get the upper hand over Supreme Honor who was using the artifact, he took the opportunity to beat the fallen dog, and sent a "Thunderbolt" on Saint Heaven's head at the right time, attacking him from both sides and sending him out of the field.
Each side is short of one person. Although we have eliminated the scourge of Holy Heaven, preventing him from looking for an opportunity to provide supplies to the Supreme Honor, we have lost the Yamato spirit, which currently has the strongest combat power. Long Xing Tian Xia and Golden Sunflower, the two remnants who have lost their mounts, are probably no match for the angels on earth if they fight alone. Even with Bai Yunjian's support, it is hard to say whether they can gain the upper hand.
Long Xing Tianxia continued to fight against the Supreme Honor, and launched several consecutive divine weapon attacks. It may have consumed a lot of his energy, and he was forced to defend himself without any ability to fight back. He retreated again and again, staggering and even his body was a little unstable. However, the situation on the other side was not good. The golden sunflower was obviously unable to withstand the attack of the angels in the human world, and had been in danger several times. If it were not for Bai Yunjian's timely support and coordination, the "thunderbolt" he sent out made the angels in the human world quite cautious. Even if he didn't die, he would probably have been broken through and joined the Supreme Honor.
Fortunately, the second half of the battle was drawing to a close. With the advantage gained earlier, Ba Jiu Gao Ge finally defeated Wushang Guanghui successfully and was trying his best to rush over here. However, it seemed that his physical strength was almost exhausted. He seemed to be a little powerless when running and could not speed up. Moreover, his mental strength should have been exhausted. The final battle used skills, and neither side used any skills. The Ganges War God and the Dragon Slayer Warrior seemed to have exhausted their mental strength and were fighting purely with skills. Although the Ganges War God also had the upper hand, his advantage was not as obvious as Ba Jiu Gao Ge. The Dragon Slayer Warrior was still quite tenacious and had the strength to fight. At every critical moment, he would put on a posture of both sides being injured and perish together, which made him feel a little restrained and unable to deliver a fatal blow.
Seeing that Supreme Honor was gradually losing its strength and that Bajiu Gaoge was rushing to support him, Angel in the Human World seemed to be a little anxious. He endured two "Thunderbolts" from Bai Yunjian, killed the Golden Sunflower that was fighting with him in close combat, and quickly rushed towards Long Xing Tianxia. Bai Yunjian continued to use the fifth-level magic "Thunderbolt" to attack, and his mental strength seemed to have been exhausted. He just stood there and watched Angel in the Human World leave without launching any more attacks.
Although it was obvious that Supreme Honor had suffered a severe blow, he was still very calm, and there was no trace of panic in his movements. Long Xingtianxia's fierce attack could only cause him a few minor injuries, and it was difficult to cause too serious damage. Long Xingtianxia was not in a hurry either. His attack was very rhythmic, and every shot hit Supreme Honor's vital points. He kept him within his attack range and made it difficult for his opponent to escape.
The Angel in the Human World was rapidly approaching here, and was only a few steps away from attacking Long Xing Tianxia. Long Xing Tianxia made a feint and forced Supreme Honor to retreat two steps, then turned around to face the Angel in the Human World, but Supreme Honor immediately stopped retreating and launched a counterattack. It seemed that he wanted to cooperate with the Angel in the Human World to defeat Long Xing Tianxia before Ba Jiu Gaoge arrived.
At the moment when Supreme Honor turned from defense to offense, Long Xingtianxia, who had already turned around to face the angels in the mortal world, did not stop his momentum. He ignored the attacks of the angels in the mortal world and turned around again to face the Supreme Honor who was attacking him. He rushed up to him and was shot in the lower abdomen at the same time as another shot pierced his chest. In exchange for injury, he eliminated the Supreme Honor who possessed the divine weapon and got rid of the opponent's biggest source of trouble.
However, at this time, Long Xing Tianxia was already at the end of his strength, and was unable to cope with the attacks from the angels on the earth. He barely dodged and parried twice, but finally could not resist and had to retreat in disgrace.
Bajiu Gaoge met Angel in the Human World. In terms of skills, the two were equally matched, but Bajiu Gaoge had consumed too much energy in the previous battle and was forced to be on the defensive. Fortunately, the God of War Ganges finally killed his opponent and hurried over to join the battle. The two tired soldiers fought steadily and fought Angel in the Human World on equal terms. Bai Yunjian's performance was even more daring. He relied on the fact that he had two teammates to entangle the enemy, and actually sat cross-legged on the field to perform "meditation" and seize the time to recover his mental strength. Angel in the Human World tried to rush over to attack several times, but was blocked by the close cooperation of Bajiu Gaoge and the God of War Ganges. A forced breakthrough would inevitably cost some price.
The game finally ended, and only Bajiu Gaoge was left standing on the field. Angel in the human world still chose to force a breakthrough, and after enduring several heavy blows, he rushed over to kill Bai Yunjian, who "considered his opponent too much" (the host said), eliminating a major potential threat. However, the ensuing battle was still very difficult for him to deal with. He was repeatedly hit hard and gradually lost his advantage in combat power. After a hard fight, he barely defeated the Ganges God of War, but still fell under Bajiu Gaoge's axe, announcing the fate of the Western Continent's failure.
The players from the Eastern Continent in the audience cheered, but the players from the Western Continent, who had been cheering for the Supreme Honor, were dejected and silent. Especially the cheerleaders of the so-called "Light Cheering Team" composed of a group of beautiful Western girls holding a striking banner, looked extremely depressed. The banner they had been waving high now drooped down weakly and was buried in the crowd.
We finally won, although this victory was too hard-earned, and there was a bit of luck and fortune in it, but no matter what, the result is the most important, no matter which is better, "Holy Cross" or "Touch of Death", no matter who is the true "World's No. 1 Master" between Supreme Honor and Dragon Travels the World, in the sensational "Four Continents Elite Challenge", our Eastern Continent is the final champion.
After enjoying the joy of victory, I took advantage of the free time during the closing ceremony to ask Long Xing Tianxia the question that had been on my mind, "Brother Long, what level of item is the ring you used in the game that can release the black dragon? How can it be so powerful? It seems to be no less powerful than a divine weapon. Moreover, the opponent's angels also have similar means in the human world and the Holy Heaven, and they seem to use items of the same level. What is going on? Would you mind telling me?"
Long Xing Tianxia smiled dumbly, "There is nothing to keep secret about this. It may be a secret before it appears, but I believe that with their use in this competition, they will soon be known to the outside world. Those should be considered as 'pseudo-divine weapons', which are obtained by enhancing the power of heavenly or holy tools. Although the power is greatly increased, it can only be used once and then it will disappear. It can be said that there are both advantages and disadvantages."
"A 'pseudo-artifact' that increases the power of a heavenly or holy artifact? How is this done?" I was even more surprised. If it could be mass-produced, many "pseudo-artifacts" would appear out of thin air, and the value of the artifact would probably be greatly discounted. Players like me who own real artifacts would be at a great disadvantage, wouldn't that be a big loss?
"You should have heard of the career mission system of Tianxia, right?"
I nodded. The professional tasks are randomly assigned to some expert players by the system. Players cannot apply for them on their own initiative. Generally speaking, the stronger the strength and the higher the completion rate, the greater the chance of being assigned to the tasks. The tasks are varied and usually difficult to complete. Moreover, these professional tasks must be completed by individuals independently and no external help is allowed. Otherwise, even if they are completed, they will be considered as failures. The completers cannot get any substantial rewards, but only some professional merits. It is said that they need to accumulate a certain number of them before they can get rewards. Because there are too many players in ordinary professions, the probability of receiving professional tasks is extremely low. On the contrary, the probability of hidden professions is higher. However, because the specific reward content is not stated, many players who have received tasks feel that it is too troublesome and a waste of time, so they choose to give up. Anyway, it will not have any negative impact on other aspects. It is commented by many senior players as the most useless task system in "Tianxia". Is the "pseudo-artifact" the reward for professional tasks that the system does not explicitly state?
Long Xing Tianxia's next words confirmed my guess, "If you want to get the 'pseudo-artifact', you need to complete the specific , accumulate enough merits, and then you will have the opportunity to exchange for such a reward. I put a lot of thought and effort to complete the fifth professional task assigned by the system before this competition, and exchanged it for the reward of the black dragon ring. I think the angels in the human world and the Holy Heaven also obtained it in this way."
"Since we can obtain items similar to divine tools in such a relatively simple way, won't the value of divine tools plummet?"
"How can it be that easy? Previously, there were simply too few players willing to complete the professional quests, so people like us have more opportunities. Through this competition, the secret should be leaked out, and players will definitely pay more attention to professional quests. With more people completing them, it is unlikely that we can continuously undertake tasks in a short period of time Not only will the number of 'pseudo-artifacts' not increase, but they will probably become increasingly rare. There shouldn't be an overabundance of artifacts that damages the balance of the game."
"How come you have completed several professional tasks? I should be considered an expert, so why haven't you been assigned one?" It would have been fine if Afeng and the others hadn't received one, after all, there were too many candidate competitors and it wasn't easy to get a turn. But a famous "number one necromancer in the world" like me is not taken seriously, and I can't help feeling a little unbalanced.
Bai Yunjian, who had just returned from celebrating with Wenrou in the audience, also came over to listen. Hearing what I said, he patted my shoulder heavily and said, "What's there to be confused about? You stay in the 'Dead Space' all day. Even if the system wants to assign you a task, it can't go to the 'Dead Space' to find you. It can only be assigned to other undead wizards. Professional tasks don't wait for anyone."
I was slightly stunned, then gave a bitter smile. What Bai Yunjian said did make some sense. It can be said that there is gain and loss, and everything depends on luck.
At the award ceremony, we encountered the highest honor again. Although he failed, he looked very calm. His eyes swept over me and Long Xing Tian Xia one by one. I could clearly feel the fighting spirit contained in them. When we shook hands and congratulated each other, he sent me a meaningful sentence: "The battle has just begun!"
I was ecstatic to receive the 25,000 gold coins championship prize. I didn't have much expectation for the next draw. Although in theory the eight champions had a chance to draw a divine weapon, the chances were extremely slim. I was already extremely lucky to have one, so I should be content. Good things come in pairs. It's okay to think about it, but it's unlikely to come true.
