Chapter 614

Being closed in on by Qi Yue was like a rat running into a cat.

He couldn't beat her in a fight, and he couldn't run.

Wei Jun and Wei Shuai struggled on the brink of death for a while, then both became souls beneath the blade.

Wei Li was hacked at viciously by Qi Yue the whole way.

"Ah— get away from me, you wretched woman!!"

Qi Yue said softly, "Sorry about this, but my spiritual power is completely spent. I can only hack you to death like this."

Wei Li snarled, "I'm definitely going to file a complaint against you."

Qi Yue nodded. "Mm, go ahead and die first."

Pfft!

Wei Li died.

【Battle ended. You have achieved victory. You may stay where you are to interact with the audience, or click to return.】

The surrounding walls rapidly closed in.

Zhao Chi saw a huge crowd of spectators.

There really were over two thousand of them.

They were all just looking at each other, faces wearing expressions of disbelief.

Zhao Chi didn't quite understand why they were like this.

But very soon, he learned the reason.

A portion of the crowd began to applaud wildly, faces flushed with excitement.

"Holy shit! That guy Zhao Chi actually won, hahahaha."

"Zhao Chi, you're badass!"

"Amazing! I'll bet on you again next match!"

"Hahaha, made a killing!"

But the greater part of the crowd was booing.

Zhao Chi had beaten Wei Li, yet it was as if he had beaten them too.

"Damn it! I bet way too much just now!"

"Zhao Chi, hurry up and die!"

"My little Wei Li, eliminated just like that—Zhao Chi, you cheater!"

"Dammit, Zhao Chi, do you even know how much money I just lost, huh?"

"Zhao Chi, you'll get what's coming to you!"

Zhao Chi understood now.

Whether they supported him or opposed him, these people were basically all tied to the bets.

The small portion who had taken a gamble on Zhao Chi were basically all trying to win big from a small stake.

They had all been looking for a long shot, and they'd guessed right.

Naturally they were ecstatic, wildly praising Zhao Chi.

And the remaining majority had basically all bet on Wei Li.

With Zhao Chi's victory, they had lost everything.

Of course they'd vent that fury on Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi roared, "What the hell are you cursing me for? The one who lost was Wei Li, the one who took your money was the house, and the ones who placed the bets were yourselves! What does it have to do with me? Were you really expecting me to throw the match just because you bet on me? Can you use your brains for once?"

The audience froze, not expecting Zhao Chi to actually talk back.

Among them, two cursed even harder.

Zhao Chi pointed at those two. "Want to finish me off? Fine, come try! I'm walking out right now for a duel—you bastards better not run!"

The moment those two heard that, they vanished on the spot.

Who would want to duel Zhao Chi?

Cursing from the sidelines was fine, but when it came to the real thing, they didn't dare.

Zhao Huai, Zhao Jiao, and Lu Hong were naturally among those applauding.

Zhao Chi instinctively looked up.

Zhao Quan wasn't there.

But he did see Du Li.

That noble who had once brought Master Mu Chang to the village.

Du Li stared fixedly at Zhao Chi. Zhao Chi frowned.

Since it wasn't Zhao Quan, the other nobles had nothing to do with him.

And from what had happened before, it was clear that Du Li and Zhao Quan weren't on good terms.

So there was no need to bother with him.

Click to return.

In an instant, he was back in his territory.

In this battle, the soldiers already had casualties.

Four of the female soldiers had been instantly killed by ghouls.

Gu Qing simply had no time to save them.

Whether it was her healing technique or her bodily fluids, both could only take effect after the female soldiers were wounded.

If they were instantly killed, there was simply no time to heal them.

Another ten-plus female soldiers were killed by that final ice explosion.

If those female soldiers' armor had been intact, they might have survived.

But by then their armor had already been torn apart by the ghouls' claws, so they took the ice explosion on their bare bodies.

They were killed in one blast too—Gu Qing couldn't heal them in time at all.

That said, the power of that ice explosion really was strong.

I'd guess it was an intermediate spiritual technique.

By rights, Wei Li shouldn't have had the spiritual pressure to cast something like that.

She must have some innate talent, or used some kind of item, to be able to use an intermediate spiritual technique at this stage.

"How are you all?"

Zhao Chi asked the female soldiers who had died in the virtual space.

They all shook their heads.

"We're fine, my lord. It felt a bit like dreaming."

"Right. My memory one second ago was still fighting the ghouls, but the next moment I was back."

"Yes, my lord, we're fine. Don't worry about us."

"We just died? I don't even have an impression of it."

After all, they were all one-shotted, so there wasn't much pain either.

Zhao Chi checked their morale and mood, and indeed there was no real impact.

That's good.

This Wei Li really does have strength.

Her own combat ability isn't strong, but at this stage lords' combat ability isn't strong either.

They basically all rely on their subjects and heroes to fight.

Zhao Chi's own combat ability isn't strong either.

There's nothing to fault on that point.

But those ghouls really were impressive—their combat ability was very much on point.

Combined with Wei Li's frenzy skill, the ghouls were further strengthened.

Zhao Chi wasn't quite sure which kind of frenzy she used; perhaps it was a type of spiritual technique that specifically strengthened ghouls.

While sending them into a frenzy, it also made them stronger—attack, defense, and speed all enhanced.

Although Zhao Chi was rather partial to his own female soldiers and felt they were good in every respect,

if it really came down to a one-on-one fight, Zhao Chi felt these female soldiers probably couldn't beat the frenzied ghouls.

Of course, they just couldn't beat the frenzied ghouls—that's all.
