Chapter 664: Rookie Tournament (25)

Xia Zhi ran desperately.

The female elves beside her were also running desperately.

But no matter how hard they ran, they couldn't shake off those female soldiers.

Not only did they fail to escape, the soldiers were even getting closer.

"No… that's impossible, right?"

"How can those female soldiers be this fast?"

"Why are their legs so long? There shouldn't be that many women among humans with legs this long, right?"

"No good, they're about to catch up, faster!"

The female elves ran desperately.

Their speed was indeed fast, but before the female soldiers wearing super-improved silk stockings and super-improved high heels, they were still a bit slower.

The female soldiers were even closer.

"Thrust!"

Suddenly, a female soldier's figure shot out at high speed.

She rushed toward the female elves, trailing afterimages.

Her iron spear thrust out long and far.

Pfft!

After all, it was a spear-type combat art.

Although it was only a very basic combat art, it could still boost this strike's attack power by 100% and penetration by 100%.

One could say the penetration was extremely strong.

The leather armor on the elves simply couldn't block it; the spear stabbed into the female elf's soft lower back.

"Ah—"

A scream rang out.

However, this could only be considered a prelude.

More female soldiers already caught up.

Suddenly approaching figures were everywhere.

The iron armor was battered, but the iron spears remained razor-sharp.

The long spears thrust out, and screams rang out one after another.

Within seconds, 7 elves were struck.

Female elves were elves after all; their constitution and strength were both relatively weak.

They were two whole tiers below these female soldiers.

Both sides' arms were fair, tender, and delicate—the female soldiers' were even softer.

But their strength was on a completely different level.

The female elves fighting the female soldiers was like little girls in kindergarten fighting against young, newlywed mothers.

Completely unable to resist.

Although those 7 elves desperately wanted to counterattack, it was utterly futile.

They were pinned down hard, with no power to resist at all.

They were quickly dispatched with ease by the female spear soldiers.

"Damn, what the hell is going on? What exactly did these women enhance? Wasn't it movement speed? How is their strength also this high? Goddamn it!"

Xia Zhi cursed inwardly.

"Why run? Come back and keep fighting!" Tang Ruan shouted loudly.

Purple light flared again.

Xia Zhi, drawn by the taunt, couldn't help glancing back.

Tang Ruan pulled out all the arrows from her body, spurting blood as she chased.

On top of that, she had just been lying on the ground playing dead and hadn't pulled out the arrow in her chest, so the wound on her heart could never truly heal.

This caused blood to pool all over the ground, and Tang Ruan was drenched in it too; now her whole body was covered in blood.

She looked like someone crawling out of a pool of blood.

Combined with her slightly crazed smile and that pure, delicate face, she really did look like a ghostly specter.

Xia Zhi was completely dumbfounded.

She stopped thinking about anything, immediately dispelled the taunt, and ran back without looking back.

"Why run? Why run! Why run!!!"

Tang Ruan's taunt activated again and again.

Purple light without end.

Xia Zhi dispelled it again and again.

Yellow light flashed.

In just a few seconds, the two sides went back and forth, clashing several rounds.

Even though Xia Zhi would momentarily hesitate every time she was taunted.

Her movement speed was extremely fast, and Tang Ruan never caught up.

She was a hero after all—Xia Zhi's agility stat was probably very high.

Only 4 female elves were left running desperately beside her.

These female elves seemed to be faster as well, so they hadn't been caught.

But they too were running with great difficulty.

Because six female archers kept firing at them.

"Ouch!"

"Ugh!"

"I got hit!"

Several more arrows flew in, and Xia Zhi along with the two female elves each took another arrow.

They did not give up, still running desperately.

Running while wounded easily tears the wounds open, and they were no exception.

Blood quickly soaked through their leather armor, yet they seemed to still be expecting something.

Another two clashes of provocation and engagement.

Xia Zhi seemed truly enraged.
