Chapter 33: Vice President of Qiancheng Muxue, Du Juan

One strike, instantly kills a full‑health knight.

Bearing the Focus Fire of Qiancheng Muxue's Thousand-Person Team's ranged class, unkillable, and also possessing the silky agility to stride like a roaming dragon.

Is this a human?

"This guy, if he hadn't been cheating, I'd…"

"Don't panic, don't panic, it's already being recorded; later I'll post it on the forum."

"Didn't Teng Long Company say there's a hundred percent no cheats?"

"…"

The players, watching Su Sheng's godlike performance, exclaimed in amazement, yet leaned even more toward thinking Su Sheng was cheating.

Although Teng Long Company solemnly promised that in the virtual‑reality game, there are no bugs or cheats.

Moreover, the ten‑year run of 'Heroes' also attests to the credibility of that claim.

But now, facing Su Sheng's dominance, aside from cheating…

They truly can't think of any other reason to explain Su Sheng's might.

…

Shield Strike!

-545

An assassin attempting a backstab was again turned into a flash of white light by Su Sheng's Shield, leaving behind a pair of daggers.

Just by the look you can tell it's a standard whiteboard from the shop; Su Sheng has no interest in bending over.

"Everyone, chain your Control Skills!"

The people of Qiancheng Muxue aren't stupid; in a multiple‑vs‑one scenario, as long as the Control Skills chain, they can directly lock Su Sheng down.

But they overlooked one point.

Everyone is at the same level now, all in the first‑transformation state, with almost no powerful Control Skills.

Knights have a Taunt, but that's just forced aggro and useless in PvP.

Warriors have a crippling strike that only slows, but so far… no warrior's crippling strike has hit Su Sheng.

Assassins, at first‑transformation level 10, still lack Control Skills.

The Priest need not be mentioned; the Mage has an Ice Spike that also slows. Su Sheng didn't dodge it completely, but with 332 agility, even with the Ice Spike's slow, Su Sheng's speed still exceeds most players at this stage.

Archers have a Shock Shot that only provides a slight knockback.

At this stage, regular classes hardly have any Strong Control skills.

There is an exception, though: the Eastern‑themed class, the Taoist, has a 2‑second Binding Talisman that forcibly imposes Stasis.

However, because the Taoist is a new class, few are familiar with it, and few play it; moreover, although the Taoist is a ranged class, its attack range is shorter than that of Mages and Archers.

Calling it semi‑ranged is more appropriate, since the Taoist's normal attack is a simple sword slash…

Furthermore, the Binding Talisman is conspicuous, a golden glowing sigil, and its speed isn't very fast.

Su Sheng only needs to watch this; so far, the few Binding Talismans have all been easily dodged by Su Sheng.

The only slow is from the Mage's Ice Spike, but its slow effect cannot stack; at most it just refreshes the duration.

With the Ice Spike's slow on him, Su Sheng charges forward unabated.

Close‑range players of Qiancheng Muxue can hardly stand their ground before Su Sheng; even with normal attacks—warriors, assassins, etc. —they average two swords each, knights up to three.

If the opponent is unlucky and lands a critical hit, a single sword can instantly kill, and Su Sheng's attacks almost never miss the vital spot.

Add the hunting state, where high agility grants attack speed; virtually any melee attack against Su Sheng is an instant kill!

"This is too exaggerated…"

"Compared to that elite BOSS crocodile, this knight player looks more like a BOSS to me."

"All the way instant‑killing, Qiancheng Muxue suffers a heavy loss this time."

Su Sheng surged forward, having slain nearly a hundred players already.

But the sheer number of attacks, like ants biting an elephant, each only deals forced damage.

Yet the quantity is massive.

When Su Sheng surged into the center of the formation, his over 1800 HP was cut in half.

A swig of Blood Bottle raised his HP a bit.

However, Blood Bottles used in Combat State have a cooldown, given the situation.

He likely won't survive until the next Blood Bottle's cooldown.

But Su Sheng smiled; that's enough.

Because he's already in!

In front of Su Sheng stands the crocodile BOSS, now in a berserk state, where almost any melee attack is an instant kill on contact.

Thus, at this moment, no close‑range player from Qiancheng Muxue stands before the crocodile BOSS.

The core ranged DPS, most of whose firepower is on Su Sheng, thus the crocodile elite BOSS is practically in a frenzied state.

Spawn~

Two sharp Cold Rays pierced Su Sheng's eyes.

At this point the assassin lacks a blind skill, but at level 10 gains Invisibility; since the eyes are vital points, and an Invisibility‑breaking strike adds damage.

If this lands solidly, it could likely deal a heavy wound to Su Sheng.

Moreover, even on the chaotic battlefield, an assassin who can silently become invisible and slip beside Su Sheng is undeniably impressive.

What a master!

But…

An assassin before Su Sheng is nothing but a novice swinging an axe at the master's door.

Shield Strike!

Facing the twin daggers, Su Sheng landed a Shield Strike and surged forward.

Block Exemption!

Even though the shield was using a skill, it blocked the incoming twin daggers head‑on, and after the attribute check, it successfully passed the exemption roll.

While performing a Shield Strike, he could also Block—truly inhuman, truly divine.

This is not something an ordinary person can do.

In the next instant, the shield hit its target, and a slender figure was knocked away by the shield.

-551

Dizziness!

Over 500 HP, not dead; you can see this assassin's gear is decent, thicker than a warrior's HP, but only the blood‑skin remains.

So it was you…

Watching the female player knocked away by the shield, even though he was mentally prepared, Su Sheng couldn't help but stagger slightly.

Within Qiancheng Muxue, an assassin of this caliber could only be… you, I suppose.

Long time no see…

Du Juan!

Immediately after, Su Sheng thrust a sword out.

The first sword of "Chasing the Deer," Su Sheng whispered silently in his heart.

The female assassin, still not recovered from Dizziness Status, was instantly killed by that sword.

Seeing the female player turn into white light, her eyes vacant, Su Sheng knew she hadn't recognized him.

A pair of wristguards fell out, looking like good loot, and Su Sheng picked them up.

Sure enough, the level‑10 blue leather armor wristguards added 100 HP, but their defense was a few points lower than his own level‑15 white armor wristguards.

The added affixes are HP and Agility; they'll make a nice gift for Huan Jie later.

No wonder, as an assassin, she wasn't instantly killed.

"Deputy President, got killed!"

"Focus Fire, Focus Fire, ignore the crocodile BOSS, keep him; otherwise the Chairman will definitely get angry."

"No matter the cost, kill him! Revenge for the Deputy President!"

The female player Su Sheng just killed was the Deputy President of Qiancheng Muxue… Du Juan.
