Chapter 14

“I still have a chance to return later, but you are deducting your upper limit; you will only get weaker and weaker!”

The next moment, he canceled playing his cards.

After all, the only Slash in his hand had already been taken by Gu Xuan.

Unable to play a Slash to respond to this Duel, he could only lose health.

“Snap!”

The moment the Zhou Yu player canceled playing cards,

his original three health points instantly dropped to just one!

This sudden accident made the Zhou Yu player’s eyes turn red.

He looked at Gu Xuan through gritted teeth,

both shocked and furious.

“??? Why did it deduct two health points?”

“Your general,”

“even has bonus damage?!”

………….

Gu Xuan did not waste words with him,

and threw out another Duel from his hand.

The reason he didn't use this Duel directly earlier, but used a skill conversion instead,

was because the skill [Spine Piercing] naturally deducts health,

while [Repel Enemy] deducts the health upper limit.

The two overlapped; if used together,

it would only deduct one point of health upper limit in total.

This was much more cost-effective, and he could still use the Duel in his hand later to deal some damage.

As this Duel was played,

Zhou Yu’s last health point was also wiped out.

The Zhou Yu player was completely dumbfounded.

Watching the death progress bar under his general getting shorter and shorter,

he shouted frantically at his teammate Lu Xun:

“Peach!”

“Quick, give me a Peach!”

Hearing his teammate’s cry for help, the third-position Lu Xun

finally snapped out of the nightmare of losing a teammate in the very first round.

“Peach? I don’t have one!”

“Look at my hand yourself, I only have a Wine, where would I get a Peach?”

The Zhou Yu player scanned Lu Xun’s hand back and forth several times.

Seeing there was indeed no Peach,

he finally gave up in despair.

Sitting in the second position, he shook his head while pointing wide-eyed at the general behind Gu Xuan, yelling:

“Impossible! You’re cheating!”

“You killed me in one round?”

“How is your general’s offensive ability so exaggerated?”

“How could the Three Kingdoms Kill game space release such an overpowered general?”

…………

Wang Wang Lingling was also frightened by Wen Yang’s fierce attack.

“So… so handsome!”

“Are all of Brother Gu’s generals this fierce?”

Wang Wang Lingling quietly looked up at Gu Xuan,

her heart filled with wonder.

Strategist Huang Zhong was like this,

and Wen Yang was not a bit inferior!

Moreover, judging from the general selection frame earlier,

the great Gu still had many unknown new generals.

‘If these generals are all as fierce as Wen Yang…’

‘Then in the future… I don’t know how many players will be scared to death.’

……

The third-position Lu Xun player, seeing his teammate die miserably,

and seeing Wen Yang’s blood-stained spear aimed at him,

turned pale with fright.

If not for the fact that the game space had no surrender option,

he probably would have pressed the surrender button long ago.

“Who can block such a perverted general!”

Gu Xuan did not know the thoughts of the people present.

After Zhou Yu died,

Wen Yang’s passive locked skill activated!

“The blood feud shall be avenged today!”

[Hatred Duel]: After you kill another character,

increase your health upper limit by one, and draw two cards.

You may activate Repel Enemy one additional time this turn!

The two cards drawn

were two Dodges.

Adding them to his original hand,

he now had two Slashes and two Dodges in his hand, four health upper limit, and three health points.

The Lu Xun player had played one Slash when he used Southern Barbarian Invasion earlier,

and now had three initial cards, plus one card replenished after his teammate died.

A total of four cards.

Among the four, judging from what the Lu Xun player said while arguing with Zhou Yu,

one was a Wine,

so the remaining three couldn't possibly all be Slashes.

If he activated a Duel,

there was a chance to make him lose two health points as well!

Even if it failed, it wouldn't affect the overall situation.

Deduct one point of health upper limit,

discard a basic Dodge card,

and lose one point of health. Now he had three health upper limit and two health points left.

Spine Piercing and Repel Enemy activated again!

“Lead the army to charge, fear no obstruction by blades or spears!”

“Crush the enemy formation, like seeing the sky break through the clouds!”

Both skills activated simultaneously.

A virtual Duel card was generated in front of Lu Xun!

At the same time, Gu Xuan took another Slash from the Lu Xun player’s hand.

Now, the Lu Xun player only had three cards left.

Seeing this,

the Lu Xun player was terrified and tremblingly played a Slash from his hand.

“Slash!”

“Slash!”

“Snap!”

In the end,

the Lu Xun player’s only Slash was exhausted,

and he lost another two health points!

Gu Xuan showed no mercy,

and threw out another Slash.

“Continue to Slash Lu Xun.”

But it was blocked by the Lu Xun player with a Dodge.

Up to now, the Lu Xun player had one card left.

That was the “Wine.”

Gu Xuan pondered for a moment.

If he activated [Spine Piercing] to Duel again,

Lu Xun had Wine and wouldn't die,

and could instead activate Camp Connection to draw cards again.

By then, he would only have one health point left,

and might accidentally kill himself.

“Forget it, no rush, he won’t survive the next round anyway.”

Thus,

after keeping one Dodge and one Slash,

Gu Xuan ended his turn.

……

Finally, it was Lu Xun’s turn.

After drawing two cards,

he looked at the three cards in front of him:

“Wine, Fire Slash, Iron Chain Link.”

The Lu Xun player thought and thought,

then directly used Iron Chain Link,

connecting Liu Bei and Wen Yang together.

Finally, he looked at the one card in front of Gu Xuan,

gritted his teeth and said:

“Gamble on it!”

Then he aimed at Gu Xuan:

“Wine, Fire Slash!”

The Camp Connection skill activated again,

and he drew a Dodge from the deck.

But at the same time, Gu Xuan also played a Dodge.

“Dodge.”

“Finished! Didn’t hit!”

The Lu Xun player’s heart sank.

But now, he had no more cards to play.

He could only helplessly end his turn.

……

When it reached the fourth-position Liu Bei’s turn,

Wang Wang Lingling slashed at Lu Xun.

“Dodge!”

The Lu Xun player discarded his last card,

and then the Camp Connection skill activated:

“Cards are not omnipotent, but without cards, you can do absolutely nothing!”

The Camp Connection skill activated, and the Lu Xun player drew another card.

Seeing this, Wang Wang Lingling

stopped playing cards,

and instead activated the Benevolence skill,

giving all her cards to Gu Xuan.

With a faint smile on her face,

she turned to Gu Xuan, made a gesture of invitation, and said:

“Great one, please take the kill.”

Now that the outcome was decided,

as a hanger-on, she naturally had to be sensible

and yield the kill.

Seeing this scene, the Lu Xun player

clenched his fists in anger,

but didn't dare to make a sound.

Gu Xuan nodded slightly.

Looking at the hand of cards in front of him,

without the slightest hesitation, he activated the [Spine Piercing] skill again!

“Charge through the blades, what does it matter if I die in battle!”

A virtual Duel appeared in front of the Lu Xun player again.

Seeing that there was no Slash in his hand,

the Lu Xun player closed his eyes in resignation,

gritted his teeth, and canceled the response.

“Snap!”

As Lu Xun died,

the Three Kingdoms Kill game space immediately sent a notification.

[Congratulations to player 1314 for winning the game.]

[Gold Beans +300!]

[Player 1314, highest overall rating in the match, extra Gold Beans +150!]

[Player’s current rank is Silver II, four stars.]

Gu Xuan looked at the meager Gold Bean reward,

and sighed helplessly.

In the game space, ranked matches are mainly for increasing rank,

to win beans, one still has to go to the five-player and eight-player military battle fields.

Now his rank was Silver II with four stars,

and he was still thirty stars away from the Emerald rank,

which could unlock the Landlord mode.
