Chapter 117: Poisoned

Both female players made sounds at the same time, and while Zhao Yuxin was concerned, she secretly aimed the Sea-Buckthorn Bomber at the woman opposite her; if the woman opposite made any other move, Zhao Yuxin would send her flying into the sky without hesitation!

"Xuanxuan, give me a little more time, I will definitely be able to take the opponent down!" Xiao Chen steadied the long spear in his hands while answering the question from the female player behind him.

The woman behind him was relentless, saying, "Hmph, I don't care! Before, you could easily suppress two or even four players by yourself with a long spear, so how come you can't even beat one person this time!?"

"Don't worry, Xuanxuan, one minute, I can kill him in just one minute!" As he spoke, Xiao Chen's gaze remained fixed on Zhu Zhiquan.

Zhu Zhiquan was not to be outdone, adopting the exact same starting stance as his opponent to wait for his attack.

This time, Xiao Chen initiated the attack again, the Xuangang Spear and the long spear constantly striking sparks; the two sides became entangled in a fight, unable to determine a winner for the moment.

A series of "clatter-bang" sounds tugged at Zhao Yuxin's inner anxiety; every time the opponent's long spear grazed past Zhu Zhiquan, Zhao Yuxin's heart felt like a roller coaster, plummeting to the bottom of the valley.

Half a minute passed, and both the ground and the nearby bushes suffered. Yet, neither side had injured the other, although neither side had used their talents or skills at this time.

Feeling that his promised time was almost up, Xiao Chen began to gather Magic Power into the spearhead, then suddenly thrust it out toward Zhu Zhiquan.

A spearhead composed of Magic Power ignored the distance between the two and flew straight toward Zhu Zhiquan; the moment he raised his hand, Zhu Zhiquan leaned backward, and the spearhead flew past, taking the sweat beads from his forehead with it.

Feeling that the opponent was getting serious, Zhu Zhiquan immediately activated the Boiling Blood and Nightmare Demon Eye talents; after dodging one of the opponent's skills, Zhu Zhiquan relied on his waist strength to regain his footing.

Afterward, he engaged in a new contest with Xiao Chen, and for a time, the two were locked in an inseparable battle. Watching Zhu Zhiquan fight the opponent incessantly, the sweat in Zhao Yuxin's hands fell to the ground inadvertently.

Looking at Xuanxuan, she constantly belittled Xiao Chen and threatened him with breaking up from time to time, which made Xiao Chen's heart grow restless; he momentarily forgot to defend and launched a fierce attack on Zhu Zhiquan.

Zhu Zhiquan, however, fought steadily and surely, remaining in a defensive state at all times without counterattacking; in the eyes of outsiders, this might seem stifling, or perhaps they might think he was at a disadvantage.

But if someone with rich combat experience were present, they could see that, in reality, the man named Xiao Chen had already lost.

The two men constantly exchanged moves, and in less than a minute, they had displayed no fewer than thirteen types of spear techniques alone.

Not to mention that they had both successively used their respective talents and skills, causing the ground, the bushes, and the plants not moved by Zhao Yuxin to suffer from the aftermath of the battle.

Meanwhile, to avoid being accidentally injured, both women retreated backward. When Zhao Yuxin retreated to a restaurant twenty meters away from the battlefield, the woman called Xuanxuan looked at Zhao Yuxin, her eyes inadvertently scanning Zhao Yuxin.

Discovering that Zhao Yuxin's armor was merely a common Special Combat Suit, she took the initiative to mock Zhao Yuxin, saying, "Yo, I didn't expect your man to look so thin and small yet be able to fight Xiao Chen for so long, but it's a pity you look poor after all."

Hearing the opponent's mockery, Zhao Yuxin immediately prepared to retort, but suddenly a spearhead hit the wall of the restaurant next to her, giving Zhao Yuxin a fright.

Xuanxuan had intended to take the opportunity to mock her, but at that moment, an Ion Chimera Bomb thrown by Xiao Chen was dodged; it happened to land right in front of her, and the fragments from the explosion landed right at her feet; the crisp sound of it hitting the ground made her jump in fright.

Watching Zhu Zhiquan and Xiao Chen still competing with their moves not far away, the two women retreated in tacit agreement, and after putting a little more distance between them, they started bickering again; the intensity was not even inferior to the two men dueling in front.

Soon, because of his haste, Xiao Chen suffered a great loss of physical strength and ultimately could not keep up with Zhu Zhiquan's speed, ending up defeated.

Xiao Chen was knocked to the ground by Zhu Zhiquan, who pointed the Xuangang Spear at his throat.

Seeing Xiao Chen defeated, Xuanxuan immediately ran to Zhu Zhiquan and flattered him, saying, "Wow~ handsome, you're so amazing! You actually managed to knock him to the ground; can I seek your protection?"

Zhao Yuxin blocked Zhu Zhiquan, asking in a concerned tone, "Ajiu, are you injured anywhere? Let me see after you finish dealing with them."

Zhu Zhiquan stood where he was to let Zhao Yuxin check, while the woman called Xuanxuan flew to Zhu Zhiquan's side to check on him, but as soon as she got close, she was kicked away by Zhu Zhiquan.

"Xuanxuan!" Xiao Chen disregarded his own injuries and hurried forward to help her up, but was pushed away by the woman. Even so, Xiao Chen still pleaded for her, saying, "I am Mo Tianchen; I implore you to spare my girlfriend."

Zhu Zhiquan glanced at Mo Tianchen, said nothing, and chose to sigh deeply. Then he gestured behind them, signaling them to leave quickly.

Zhao Yuxin picked up the Sea-Buckthorn Bomber and prepared to leave as well.

But the woman called Xuanxuan crawled over and fawned over Zhu Zhiquan, saying, "Handsome, let me stay, okay? I can be a royal sister or a loli; I'll do whatever you want."

"Xuanxuan!" Mo Tianchen looked at his girlfriend in great shock. His hands trembled constantly; he could not believe that his girlfriend would fawn over someone like this! And to do it right in front of him, fawning over a man who had just fought him!

But his girlfriend Xuanxuan didn't even turn her head, continuing to curry favor with Zhu Zhiquan in various ways, yet Zhu Zhiquan looked at her as if she were an idiot, not even replying with a single word.

That fawning appearance made even Zhao Yuxin, who was on the side, unable to watch anymore, and she scolded her, "Hey! Can you have some shame? Do you have to be so thick-skinned? Is it..."

"Enough." Zhu Zhiquan turned around and pressed a finger to Zhao Yuxin's lips, then pulled her away, preparing to go elsewhere to continue ambushing other players.

Seeing Zhu Zhiquan about to leave, a cold glint flashed in Xuanxuan's eyes; she fumbled in her pocket, then clung to Zhu Zhiquan's calf like a dog.

But this time, Zhu Zhiquan was truly angry; veins immediately crawled all over his face, and he kicked her to the ground with one foot.

Just as Zhu Zhiquan was preparing to kill this woman, he suddenly felt extremely dizzy, making him unable to stand even while using the Xuangang Spear to prop himself up; he could only kneel on one knee to maintain his balance.

Zhao Yuxin saw Zhu Zhiquan suddenly kneel on one knee, still holding his forehead, his body swaying as if he would fall at any second.

This shocked Zhao Yuxin greatly, because the sound wave collection ability of the Bat Wing Ear had not detected any hidden weapons on her just now!

Suddenly, the Sea-Buckthorn Bomber in Zhao Yuxin's arms threw an Explosive Fruit, which landed at Xuanxuan's feet and sent her tumbling head over heels.

"Xuanxuan!" The series of chain events caused Mo Tianchen's brain to crash for a moment; by the time he reacted, the Explosive Fruit thrown by the Sea-Buckthorn Bomber had already landed beside him, and then Mo Tianchen and his girlfriend experienced the feeling of flying into the sky together.
