Gamers Are Fierce-Chapter 866 - 865: Bearing Wounds

!!

Watching helplessly as a companion was split in two right before his eyes, Zhan Lu's pupils suddenly contracted, and the knuckles on the back of his hand gripping the sword hilt turned pale.

"Don't get distracted!"

Bai Haozheng shouted in a low voice, as the light longsword in his hand extended into a light shield. He blocked Dan Chenzi's flying sword and shielded Zhan Lu from a deadly blow from behind.

Dan Chenzi's six flying swords differed in shape, weight, flight speed and trajectory, added spiritual power attributes, and means of damage,

Especially after being strengthened by the Blood Burning Technique, this difference became even more pronounced, preventing opponents from defending against all of them with a single method. Furthermore, the swords could change targets under the controller's command, disrupting the opponent's defensive counterattack rhythm—

Nebula's eyes sparkled with starlight, her figure suspended in mid-air, palms spread, continuously summoning Star Realm material from the void, enveloping her body like layers of curtains,

completely entrapping a silver greatsword.

Just as the Star Realm material was about to solidify and freeze the greatsword completely,

another thin soft sword abandoned its attack on the nearby Kimen Rotation, soundlessly and swiftly striking at the back of Nebula's heart.

Clang!

The clash of metal was piercing,

Flashing behind Nebula, the one who blocked the strike for her was Kimen Rotation.

He wore Perfect-level gloves named [Claw of Annihilation] on both hands,

The surface of the gloves was densely covered with spikes, black at the bottom and white on top, exceptionally sharp and resilient,

The five fingers transformed into sharp beast claws, capable of easily slicing through high-strength alloy.

Screech—

Amidst the teeth-clenching screech, Kimen Rotation gripped the soft sword blade firmly with both palms, sparks erupting from the beast-claw gloves.

"Stop for me!"

He gritted his teeth, forehead veins bulging, as his body swelled, relying on raw strength to forcibly twist the soft sword into a U-shape.

Unfortunately, that soft sword, forged from some unknown material, remained resilient despite Kimen Rotation's brute force,

Not only did it not break, but it bent voluntarily, like a snake sliding through the gaps between the dense spikes of the beast-claw gloves,

Slicing Kimen Rotation's shoulder with one swing, 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Then rushing along the Star Realm material curtain summoned by Nebula, circling once, peeling away the Star Realm material like an onion, "rescuing" the trapped silver greatsword.

The players were facing not mere dead objects,

But Dan Chenzi, a being of equal intelligence, highly flexible, with even richer combat experience, with each flying sword an extension of his will and mana.

Not only Zhan Lu and the others were caught in a fierce battle, but Ju Zi was still trapped by the sandstorm giant hand summoned by the Scroll Wielder—his shoes' soles ejecting a ghostly blue flame,

Providing massive thrust in attempts to escape the swirl's grip.

However, that gale was mana-induced, firmly capturing Ju Zi, preventing him from breaking free,

While the whirlwind wrapped with fine sand particles spun swiftly, like a high-speed blender, grinding anything that fell in into powder.

Ju Zi clutched a wooden box holding Dan Chenzi's seventh longsword with his left hand, while continuously extracting various items from the void with his right hand made by the [Mechanism] Guild,

Bombs, grenades, incendiary bombs, high-explosive bombs...

The [Mechanism] Guild is currently one of the major manufacturers of various mechanical products in the killing game, as the guild master of the Mechanism Guild, Ju Zi naturally had his space gear filled with his own products.

Dozens of bundles of bombs were tossed into the eye of the storm, and with a "boom," a large chunk was gouged out of the palm, but the whirlwind continued unabated,

Drawing a bit of sand from the ground to repair the palm as before,

Continuing to pull Ju Zi inch by inch toward the eye of the storm.

Dawn started the Capini Mech, just about to use the floating cannon to blast the distant Scroll Wielder,

When a closed-eye monk sitting cross-legged nearby turned his Buddhist beads, lips moving as he chanted sutras.

Dawn heard a sacred chant of sutras above, accompanied by a warm and peaceful Buddha light, as two gigantic diamond warrior projections descended from the heavens, barring the way of the Capini Mech from left and right.

Both diamond warrior projections were eight meters tall, taller than the Capini Mech by a head,

Both bore angry looks, wielding Demon-Subduing Pestles and precious trees,

Smashing down upon Dawn.

Dawn instinctively retreated quickly. Although the diamond warriors were mere projections, when the Demon-Subduing Pestles and precious trees struck the ground, they shattered it.

The two diamond warrior projections hindered the Capini Mech, preventing Dawn from assisting Ju Zi—who pushed his foot-flame thrusters to the limit, yet still was dragged inch by inch toward the swirling storm's center.

Not good.

With companions successively trapped, Ding Zhensi didn't wait for the Kui Ox Mecha's inspection system to complete its self-check, pressing the button to drive the mecha to aid.

"Wait."

Li Ang's voice came, "Don't move."

"What?"

Ding Zhensi instinctively stood still, without moving. Li Rising had a good relationship with the Special Affairs Bureau and had proven his strength last time in the Sky Fighting Arena.

"What do you mean, don't move? What's going on?"

Ding Zhensi operated the Kui Ox Mecha in a rigid stance, clutching a high-frequency cutting blade in his right hand and holding a round shield over the cockpit with his left, asking through the communication broadcast.

Before he could finish speaking, his questions were answered.

Murderous intent.

A fierce and bone-chilling murderous intent from Qingqiu spread around.

Feeling as though being targeted by an apex predator, a cold sweat broke out inexplicably down Ding Zhensi's back, his limbs stiff, ears echoing with his heartbeat.

Inside the Kui Ox Mecha's cockpit, a system alert sounded, detecting strong hostility, and red warning lights flickered intermittently, reflecting Ding Zhensi's rigid face.

The unseen Qingqiu was somewhere close by...

Qin, holding a chainsaw, slowly drew closer to her teammates Eva and Nina.

When they had arrived in the armored vehicle, they had witnessed Qingqiu's effortless slaughter of Parasitic Mistletoe, Life-Killing Hospital, and Breeding Homomorph,

Parasitic Mistletoe was the head of the Beast of Thousand Throats, Life-Killing Hospital was the strongest of the Japan Islands Abnormal Affairs Bureau, and Breeding Homomorph was also a secret weapon of the European Heavy Industry Group.

All three were top-tier players among the strong, undoubtedly the first echelon players, far stronger than the "apprentices" among them.

Yet, such beings were effortlessly ended in front of Qingqiu without lasting a single round, like chickens and pigs being slaughtered...

Did they really have the capability and necessity to remain here?

Qin watched intently ahead, her peripheral vision scanning the floating System Detector in the air, and in a low voice, spoke to her teammates: "Prepare any active defense and crowd-control skills or items."

"Hmm?" Eva, who usually served as the team leader, instinctively pursed her lips, about to ask when Qin interrupted her, "This time, listen to me. We have no means to break the opponent's defense, and our power system can't function. Instead of staying and burdening the team, we might as well attract attacks to give others a chance."

Qin paused, narrowing her eyes, "I'll make the first move. If that fox attacks me, you release control skills and then leave the match, don't linger."

Eva was silent for a moment, "...Can you handle it?"

"I'll try."

Qin took a deep breath, revved the chainsaw's engine, making it roar,

stepping forward.

This step seemed to trigger some kind of switch,

As Qingqiu's small figure suddenly appeared in front of Qin, slashing at her head with a thin sword.
