Chapter 313: Xingchen

At this time, the number of players gathering in the central ShenShou Zhi Cheng kept increasing, and the remaining contestants should already have gathered almost entirely.

Su Sheng's battle with Qi Mingxing naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Several team leaders, watching Yan Huang and Qi Mingxing leading the players from both Main Cities in battle, wore ambiguous expressions, clearly already pondering how to reap benefits.

Xingchen dodged the thrusting long spear in front of him, but the spear showed no sign of a follow‑up swing and instantly turned the thrust into a Sweep, pursuing again.

Xingchen immediately drew a pair of daggers, crossing them before his body, slightly bent his knees into a bow‑step to release force! Parry!

Clash~

A burst of a sour grinding sound, Xingchen staggered backward, but took no damage.

Obviously he parried it.

Although Hunters are specialized archers, they can also equip melee daggers.

Moreover, proper melee players cannot parry Su Sheng's attacks, yet Xingchen, relying on a pair of daggers, being a Hunter not specialized in melee, actually managed to parry Su Sheng's attack.

Aside from the basic attribute check not having a multiple gap, Xingchen's technique itself was also spot‑on; otherwise he could never have parried.

Of course, once the attribute gap reaches a certain level, no technique can be parried....

He parried, but Xingchen wasn't very happy; Mo Wen Qianchen surged forward unstoppable, and in the current situation no one could help him, his teammates were already too occupied with themselves.

Besides being caught off guard and falling into a disadvantage, constantly losing members, the Mo Wen Qianchen in front of him was also too hard to deal with!

Although in the short term I won't be instantly slain by Mo Wen Qianchen, I still can't break free, and on my side we no longer have the crucial sustain position... Priest.

Moreover, even if I could hold out till the end it would be meaningless; once my teammates are eliminated, I am destined to die as well.

And I am only barely skirmishing with Mo Wen Qianchen; Mo Wen Qianchen has made countless mistakes, but I can only afford one mistake, moreover Mo Wen Qianchen hasn't made any mistake at all, and my parries and dodges are extremely strenuous.

Indeed, a renowned warrior lives up to the name; this long spear, although I managed to parry it once, the Block's follow‑up swing was almost instantly smoothed out by Mo Wen Qianchen, seamlessly connecting, and once again the spear tip, like a poisonous dragon, flashed with light as it thrust toward me.

Obviously a skill was used!

When an attack uses a skill, it cannot be parried; conventional technique parries can only block ordinary attacks like the one just now, but skill attacks require a skill parry.

Using a normal technique parry against a skill attack, even if successful, the damage will still be dealt.

Unless it's a Trap Formation Warrior's barrier, which itself is a skill shield counter‑strike—or a parry impact—aside from the knight class template, only a skill can parry a skill.

Technique parries can only block ordinary attacks… commonly called normal attacks.

Otherwise this parry technique would be overpowered; a highly skilled parry master would simply ignore any melee player's attacks.

However, the knight class's Shield Block is an exception; it is not a parry check, as knights are a defensive class equipped with a shield, and even a regular Shield Block, provided the force is released properly and the attributes aren't excessively high, can exempt a portion or even all damage.

In this situation, facing Mo Wen Qianchen's spear tip, Xingchen can only retreat!

Retreat!

But Su Sheng's long spear is a long weapon, and in Mounted State his speed isn't slow; once entangled, he can't break free that easily.

Hooves pound forward, the long spear follows like a shadow.

Can't dodge it at all!

Side‑step dodge!

But the distance is now too close; the spear tip still struck Xingchen's shoulder.

-6871!

Fang!

A single thrust dealt over 6800 damage.

Xingchen, at level 40, even with decent gear, only had just over 8000 HP, and this was while the Priest's buff hadn't faded.

In an instant Xingchen was bloodied.

Pervert!

Xingchen's face turned pale, and he couldn't help muttering a curse under his breath.

Technique can smooth out some gaps.

But the opponent's technique isn't much worse than his; then the numbers become crucial.

This was clear from the start: Mo Wen Qianchen could afford many mistakes, but he only had one; if this hit a weak point, he'd be instantly killed.

But at this point, being killed instantly makes no difference.

Without a Priest, I drank a Blood Bottle, but even though it restored health, Xingchen knows this amount of HP still can't withstand Mo Wen Qianchen's next thrust.

Twenty. At this moment Xingchen also noticed that his side had twenty people total; now, including himself, only nine remain.

Those Ten Court Yanluo also returned to act.

We lost…

Xingchen felt a bit depressed; he never imagined his Qi Mingxing would be eliminated like this.

But, at this critical moment.

A Healing Technique landed directly on Xingchen's head, and along with it came a party invitation.

Xingchen's previously dim expression instantly brightened, Accept!

Party prompt: Form a party with player Shen Wang…

Party prompt: Form a party with player Shen Xiao…

…

…

A flood of party prompts arrived, and Xingchen's eyes showed an excited look.

Huan Yu arrived!

In Qinglong City's grand guild, only Huan Yu and his own Qi Mingxing were present; although Huan Yu's relationship with Yan Huang seemed somewhat unclear, they are currently rivals.

In this situation, as long as Huan Yu's people aren't foolish, they won't let Yan Huang eliminate them; otherwise Huan Yu's side would have to fight alone.

Su Sheng frowned; he saw a person from the Universe, and the Healing Technique naturally came from a Priest of the Universe.

No!

Su Sheng frowned; the Morning Star cannot be kept, especially this Xingchen, the leader of the Morning Star, whose skills are quite formidable.

If the Morning Star truly joins forces with the Universe, it will be very hard to deal with later.

Kill!

Su Sheng's spear in his hand extended again, radiating light, pointing straight at Xingchen's position.

Deadly Lion Fang!

At this moment, the Deadly Lion Fang's cooldown has already reset.

At the same time, the crimson cloak behind Su Sheng instantly turned black.

Falling Demon Body!

Because Xingchen's technique is quite good, when Su Sheng was about to act earlier, it was also hard to divert his attention to control the Falling Demon Body.

But for now, Xingchen must be left behind.

The spear tip cleaved the air, surrounded by swirling black fumes, with faint white thunder flashing.

Just looking at this skill, it is definitely not simple.

Xingchen gritted his teeth; unable to dodge or Parry, he decided not to dodge at all.

Xingchen, staying in place, nocked an arrow, staring intently at Su Sheng's spear, with light gathering on the bow and arrow.

Swish~

Just as the spear tip was about to arrive, Xingchen also fired an arrow.

The spear tip cleaved the air, and the arrow whistled through the wind!
