Chapter 1301 Surprised

In the hall, as Hong Xinyuan questioned Tiancheng, Ke Rui, standing beside him, hastily signaled Tiancheng to agree. After all, this was a great opportunity to disrupt Mu Xin's plans.

As one of the Frost Heaven Ten Swords, Tiancheng ranked in the top five in terms of strength. Throughout Zero Wing, only Guild Leader Black Flame could compete; the others stood no chance.

However, surprisingly, Tiancheng did not immediately agree.

"Uncle Hong, I wonder if I can use my full power in this competition?" Tiancheng countered.

They, the Frost Heaven Ten Swords, differed from ordinary members. They absolutely could not easily reveal their full strength to outsiders, unless ordered by superiors. Otherwise, even if they lost, they couldn't use their full power.

Duan Hanshan, standing nearby, showed no surprise at Tiancheng's question. The Azure Chamber of Commerce was the same, only the restrictions were lifted during the previous grand competition.

"You can use your full power when necessary," Hong Xinyuan said after a moment's thought.

Zero Wing's Guild Leader Black Flame possessed the strength to contend with a legendary Saint, so if Zero Wing sent Black Flame, Tiancheng might actually lose if he didn't use all his power.

This was not what Hong Xinyuan wanted, as his main purpose here was to establish dominance.

"Then I have no problem." Upon hearing this, the fighting spirit in Tiancheng's eyes ignited.

"Good, then I'll leave it to you in a moment." Hong Xinyuan nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Duan Hanshan and said, "Then, Old Devil Bing, we have a deal."

Originally, he had planned to simply assess Zero Wing and then let them know the foundation of the Frost Heaven Sword, but now this effort was unnecessary.

"A deal is a deal." Duan Hanshan smiled and then looked at the blue-haired youth not far away, saying, "Gu Han, come down later. This young man from the Frost Heaven Sword will replace you in the fight."

"Him?" Gu Han scrutinized the simple and honest youth beside Duan Hanshan, somewhat unwilling. "Is he capable?"

Instantly, both Tiancheng and Hong Xinyuan felt like vomiting blood.

Why did everyone underestimate the Frost Heaven Sword these days?

However, Hong Xinyuan didn't explode. He simply remained silent, giving Tiancheng a look, an indication that he knew what to do.

This battle was also a way to let the Azure Chamber of Commerce know the power of the Frost Heaven Sword.

Soon after, the formal guidance battle between Zero Wing and the Azure Chamber of Commerce officially began in the hall.

The virtual combat room was surrounded by people, both Zero Wing members and Azure Chamber of Commerce members, all excited.

"I heard that Gu Han has been replaced by a newcomer from the Frost Heaven Sword. I wonder how many seconds that newcomer can last."

"I heard that the record for previous battles is only sixteen seconds at most."

"Sixteen seconds? Then the Frost Heaven Sword newcomer should last ten seconds, right?"

"Ten seconds? Don't exaggerate! I think six or seven seconds at most."

…

The sudden change of personnel in the guidance battle instantly became the focus of everyone's discussion. Especially the Azure Chamber of Commerce members, whose attention was entirely on how many seconds Tiancheng could last, making Ke Rui grind his teeth in anger, while Mu Xin was stunned.

"Could it be that our Frost Heaven Sword hasn't had any major movements for too long, so we're considered dispensable in everyone's eyes?" Mu Xin felt like she had entered a strange place after hearing everyone's discussion.

Moreover, regardless of how the Frost Heaven Sword was, just look at the members of the Azure Chamber of Commerce.

Each one seemed to take pride in lasting a few more seconds against Zero Wing, with no awareness of being a master, as if lasting one more second was an unparalleled honor.

After Tiancheng sat in the virtual combat room, a door opposite slowly opened, and a beautiful young girl walked in, directly sitting in Zero Wing's combat seat, gently putting on the connecting helmet like a girl next door, with no hint of a master's aura or sharpness.

"Are you kidding me?" Tiancheng felt a surge of anger in his heart as he looked at the girl.

He had thought Zero Wing would send a great master who could let him fight all out, making him nervous for a long time, even applying to Uncle Hong to lift the restriction on his strength...

But not only did Zero Wing not send Black Flame, but even the two vice guild leaders didn't come, directly sending a little girl to fight. They simply didn't take the Frost Heaven Sword seriously.

"Old Devil Bing, is this the Zero Wing you have confidence in?" Hong Xinyuan scrutinized Zi Yan Liuyun and couldn't help but smile.

Duan Hanshan had previously shown full confidence, even making him somewhat believe it, but now it seemed that he had overthought it.

Although Zi Yan Liuyun had reached the Vacuum Realm at a young age, she was indeed a genius, but compared to Tiancheng, they were worlds apart. Tiancheng could end the battle in seconds.

"Of course." Duan Hanshan looked at the smiling Hong Xinyuan and said with a smile, "How about we add some more chips?"

"What, you want to go back on your word?" Hong Xinyuan chuckled.

"No, besides the previous bet, how about we bet another 100,000 magic crystals?" Duan Hanshan cheerfully suggested.

"What if we don't bet?" Hong Xinyuan asked with a smile.

In his opinion, Duan Hanshan was trying to scare him. Now that the system was upgraded, the value of various materials, especially magic crystals, would definitely be higher. Currently, major super forces were frantically collecting them, not selling them at all. 100,000 was a large number, and even he couldn't easily decide on this matter.

"If you don't bet, it's fine, up to you." Duan Hanshan's expression remained normal, not caring at all.

"Okay, then I'll bet with you." Hong Xinyuan looked at Duan Hanshan giving up and proactively agreed.

"Great, I knew Old Hong was a good person." Duan Hanshan couldn't help but laugh happily.

"A good person?" Hong Xinyuan felt something was strange when he heard Duan Hanshan say that.

While the two were talking, the virtual screen outside the combat room also displayed the battlefield for Zi Yan Liuyun and Tiancheng's battle.

On a wilderness, the two sides were one hundred yards apart, with attributes, levels, and equipment all maintained at the last second before the end of God's Domain.

Tiancheng's equipment included six epic-grade pieces, and the long spear in his hand radiated a dark aura. It was clearly an extraordinary magic weapon, with attribute effects definitely above ordinary epic-grade weapons. His every move caused the battlefield space to tremble slightly.

Tiancheng's level had reached 119, only one level away from the 120 milestone, placing him among the top players in the entire God's Domain.

"Hehe, now you know how powerful our Frost Heaven Sword is, right?"

Just when Ke Rui thought that everyone present would show amazed gazes and endless exclamations, the entire place was surprisingly calm.

In contrast, Mu Xin had a complex expression, as if she had seen something incredible.

Immediately, Ke Rui followed Mu Xin's gaze.

Zi Yan Liuyun, Level 121.

Her level was two levels higher than Tiancheng's.

"Level 121?"

Ke Rui was also dumbfounded.

Tiancheng had used all of the guild's resources to barely reach Level 119, but a Zero Wing's cleric, Zi Yan Liuyun, was actually two levels ahead of Tiancheng in level. Who would believe it if word got out?

In the combat space, Tiancheng also felt a surprise, not expecting that there were still people in God's Domain whose level exceeded his, even by two levels.

"It seems you also have some ability, but this little level gap doesn't bring much advantage." Tiancheng looked at Zi Yan Liuyun, who was one hundred yards away, and slowly said, "On the contrary, this kind of flat wilderness is quite unfavorable for a magic-based class like you. There's no room to dodge at all."

"That's not necessarily true!" Zi Yan Liuyun shook her head, disagreeing with Tiancheng's view.

"Is that so? Then let me see if what you said is right!"

With that, Tiancheng flashed towards Zi Yan Liuyun, leaving only an afterimage in place.

Tier 3 Skill: Shadow Flash Stab!

Although this wasn't in God's Domain and couldn't fully display 100% of their strength, their physiques and attribute data were the same.

A hundred yards was time-consuming for ordinary Tier 3 classes, but for a Tier 3 hidden class like Tiancheng, the Dragon Spear Warrior, he could arrive in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, Tiancheng had already appeared in front of Zi Yan Liuyun, slashing with the dark spear in his hand.

The spear shadows were like rain, each piercing the air, causing the entire space to distort!

Even experts who had mastered the Domain would find such a fierce offensive overwhelming. This was Tiancheng's signature move.

"Magic-martial combination?"

Duan Hanshan immediately understood the power of this move as he watched Tiancheng's frantic attacks.

Tiancheng had to be said to be very talented. These seemingly simple thrusts actually formed a magic array, connecting all the offensives into one. His use of magic was inhuman, and the power was strong enough to directly confront Tier 4 legendary monsters of the same level.

If a magic-based class with weak defenses was hit, it would definitely die.

Just as Ke Rui was slightly proud of Tiancheng's performance, he heard a sigh in his ear.

"That person is really brave, actually daring to go in close. They're definitely dead this time."

Ke Rui didn't care about this sentence. If you're fighting a magic-based class, don't you go in close, but attack from afar?

The person who said this was even worse than a noob!

While Ke Rui and the others thought that Zi Yan Liuyun would retreat quickly, waiting for Tiancheng's wave of attacks to pass before counterattacking, Zi Yan Liuyun actually didn't retreat a single step. She even took the initiative to meet the attack...

There was no way to dodge the overwhelming spear shadows, but Zi Yan Liuyun waved her staff, holding it horizontally in front of her, using one hand to directly meet the incoming spear momentum.

This scene stunned the people outside the combat room and also puzzled Tiancheng.

It was like seeking death for a magic-based class to fight weapons with bare hands!

Just as Zi Yan Liuyun's palm was about to touch the spear shadows, a double magic array appeared on Zi Yan Liuyun's palm.

Tier 3 Defense Magic: Amethyst Barrier!

As Zi Yan Liuyun waved her palm, the entire barrier was pushed out horizontally, as if a crystal iron wall directly crashed into the overwhelming spears.

Not only did the spear shadows scatter wherever the Amethyst Barrier passed, but the barrier also pressed towards Tiancheng, forcing him to dodge.

"Tier 3 defense magic can be used like this?"

Ke Rui secretly clicked his tongue as he watched Tiancheng's move being completely countered by Zi Yan Liuyun.

Such methods were truly ingenious. In God's Domain, defense magic was used in a fixed manner, and once used, it couldn't be moved.

The main reason for not being able to move was that the magic power mobilized during movement was too complex, and no one could withstand it, but Zi Yan Liuyun did it. Even experts who had mastered the Domain couldn't do this...

However, on the battlefield, as Tiancheng jumped away to dodge, preparing to attack Zi Yan Liuyun again, Tiancheng was stunned.

Because he didn't know when, more than three hundred magic blades had appeared around Zi Yan Liuyun, dancing in the air like aerial spirits. Each spirit carried the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, rushing in from all directions.

"Double quick casting?"

Tiancheng hurriedly used defensive combat skills and Tier 3 defense skills to resist.

A dark phantom appeared on Tiancheng's body, rushing towards the flying magic blades like an extension of his body.

Boom boom boom...

A series of rumbling sounds came from mid-air, echoing throughout the battlefield. The spatial fluctuations were even clearly visible on the screen in the combat room.

Tiancheng's defense could be said to be impeccable. His mastery of the Domain had reached its peak, and every movement was simplified to the extreme, like a steel wall.

Three seconds later, a black shadow fell from the sky, directly smashing into the ground.

"How is this possible?!"

Ke Rui was dumbfounded as he looked at this black shadow.

Because this figure was none other than Tiancheng, whose health points had reached zero...

ps: Today's four updates are 13,000 words. Lao Mao will talk about future updates. Because there are too many things involved in the later stages of this book, and there are many new things, Lao Mao hopes to give this book a good ending. The body has not fully recovered, so I can only guarantee one and strive for two every day.
