Gamers Are Fierce-Chapter 870 - 869: Surprise Attack

Divine power... 400 points remaining.

Li Ang holstered his empty Colt revolver and turned to look at the other side of the battlefield.

The situation over there was not optimistic, as Dann Chenzi's six flying swords firmly suppressed Tai Hao and the others. Qimian Xuantian was careless with a move and got his throat cut by a flying sword,

while two other flying swords, smelling blood like bloodthirsty sharks, swiftly attacked and beheaded Qimian Xuantian.

The pressure on the rest increased sharply, making the situation critical;

The Capini Mech and two Phantom Arhats were still entangled in combat (the Illusion Match didn't erase the Phantom Arhat, proving it was not an illusion);

Ju Zi was trapped within a giant sand hand;

The Raging Fire, with Amber and Arlina, hugged the ceiling in flight, evading the bombardments of the Otherworldly cultivators who had completed the array—shielded by a turtle shell-like formation with solid green light. The flames from Raging Fire struck it, the collaborative defense of the Otherworldly monks spreading the impact, thus failing to cause lethal damage.

The opponents, on the other hand, managed to focus their mana and release several types of spells, turning into a rain of missiles sweeping upwards towards the trio of Raging Fire.

Each ally fought independently, with the situation hanging by a thread.

Li Ang took a deep breath and summoned the Fearful Warhorse, swiftly mounting it.

The Fearful Warhorse neighed, its eyes emitting a scarlet glow that trailed two red shadows,

galloping with swift strides, charging like a thunderous chariot towards the scholar who controlled the giant sand hand from afar.

The scholar's expression changed slightly, having just witnessed Qingqiu's fall. Not daring to slack off, he held the scroll in his left hand, maintaining the giant sand hand's constraint upon Ju Zi;

his right hand pressed against the ground, bright Otherworldly scripts flowed from his palm, spreading outward to form a circular array on the ground.

Spin.

The scholar rotated his right hand that pressed the ground,

the array absorbed the faint spiritual power contained within the earth veins, generating a whistling, emerald gale,

the gale's forefront condensed into a ten-meter-diameter cross-shaped arrowhead, abruptly accelerating towards the dragon-headed figure in the tattered white coat.

Li Ang extended his index finger, emitting a dreadful green energy ray from its tip.

The gale arrow was pierced by the Disintegration Technique, its force greatly weakened, being cleaved by Li Ang's spear.

An attack with magic-breaking properties, huh...

The scholar silently let out a murky breath, once again rotating his right hand,

the soil in front of Li Ang upheaved entirely, forming two thick city walls collapsing from left and right to clamp him.

The disintegration ray melted a large chunk of the soil upon contact, but the soil from the rear quickly filled the gap.

Li Ang's gaze tightened, instantly activating the Cloud Ascending Ladder skill, forming an invisible staircase beneath his feet.

Step!

With one arm, he lifted the Fearful Warhorse onto his shoulder, his sole stepping on the invisible staircase,

under the scholar's incredulous gaze, he carried the Fearful Warhorse and leapt out of the city walls' encompassing range,

landing heavily before lightly mounting the horse again, his speed unscathed.

Damn.

The scholar gritted his teeth tightly,

nearby was Dann Chenzi, manipulating the flying swords, and the closed-eye monk chanting Buddhist scriptures,

Qingqiu was already dead,

and they, the casters, lacked the swordsman's protection.

The scholars and monks in the distant academy, Liwei Mountain, and Jingnian Sect also realized this, hastening the release of spells, with ice, thunder, and fire pouring like torrential rain, chasing the trio of Raging Fire.

Booming sounds echoed!

The ceiling, struck by all sorts of spells, collapsed, showering down a massive weight of rocks.

Raging Fire clutched Amber, narrowly evading the falling stones and flying out from the edge,

with Arlina emerging through the dust cloud alongside Raging Fire, looking below to see only Li Ang left on the left side of the battlefield,

absent were Blue Lantern, Ding Zhensi, and her students, Qin, Eva, and Nina—realizing instantly that it was caused by Qingqiu.

Nebula, tangled with a flying sword, shouted to Arlina from a distance, "Qin and the others might still be alive!"

The Global Occult Coalition, like other organizations, had prepared isolation rooms and rescue teams for the Lost World tournament,

even if the heart exploded, with charred organs, there's a chance of rescue if timely intervened.

Eva and Nina's hearts were only pierced; if Qingqiu's sword had no additional effects,

they wouldn't die... maybe.

Arlina's heart sank, a firm color flashing deep in her eyes.

If that's the case...

She finished chanting the final segment to fully release Amber from the Buddha light's control,

then pushed Raging Fire away,

her body free falling,

angling to dive towards the Otherworldly cultivators ready to aid the scholar against Li Ang.

The Otherworldly cultivators below saw this and, naturally, wouldn't miss the opportunity,

part of them targeting Li Ang with spells,

while others bombarded the diving Arlina.

Crash—

The passive defensive item Arlina equipped shattered into pieces, lasting less than a second,

her forearms crossed in front of her body, covered with bone-deep scars.

But within her body, a large amount of visible pure white frost air surged, freezing the moisture in the air into rapidly forming ice crystals of various shapes.

[Skill Name: Liquid Nitrogen Bombardment]

[Type: Spiritual Energy]

[Special Effect: Rapid Cooling. Causes extensive freezing damage ignoring energy shields, centered on the body]

[Consumption: At least 1000 Spirit Energy Value]

[Cooldown: 30 minutes]

[Usage Conditions: Strength Attribute of 11 points or more, Physical Attributes of 12 points or more]

[Remark: The more Spirit Energy Value invested, the greater the freezing range and higher the damage]

[Remark: To verify the old saying "The fragrance of plum blossom comes from the bitter cold," Ice Magician Yuchi Tiemen poured liquid nitrogen on the plum blossoms his parents planted as a child]

Boom!

When Arlina descended to ten meters above the array, an explosive wave of extreme cold air burst forth from her being,

endlessly spraying ice crystals that penetrated the array shield and scattered onto the Otherworldly cultivators.

The frost air rose like a mushroom cloud, gradually spreading outwards.

With their current visibility, those present could clearly see Arlina vanishing, spent of her Spirit Energy,

whilst nearly half of the cultivators within the array suffered severe casualties, and the array itself collapsed.

The collapse of the array sharply reduced the number of spells targeting Li Ang,

as he swung his long spear, activating the Tyrant Halberd's special effect.

Pushing Through: After at least 30 seconds of intense combat, launch a charge forward for up to 10 seconds, stopping upon hitting a target. For 1 second at the start of the charge, immune to most control skills.

Buzz—

The long spear vibrated, with Li Ang's body enveloped in a dim golden glow for some reason,

the remaining spells striking him were absorbed by the Tyrant Halberd's Pushing Through effect and the Mirage Dragon Red Mane Coat.

The Fearful Warhorse's charging speed kept increasing, carrying Li Ang as he swept the spear towards the scholar standing in front of Dann Chenzi and the closed-eye monk.
