Chapter 439: I really want to escape~

Facing the charging Zhao Zilong, Chen Guan showed no panic.

Dodge with Z-step!

Wind-chasing Thieves have extremely high agility; the straight-line charges of armored classes, anyone able to make a single directional adjustment, are already experts among experts.

So agility definitely can't compare to that of a Wind-chasing Thief.

Swish~

Chen Guan dodged, appearing behind Zhao Zilong, which is Chen Guan; ordinary players facing the charge's speed probably couldn't even react to dodge.

Rumble~

Large swaths of ranged attacks rained down.

The Swimming Dragon Body, which Su Sheng originally created among the heroes, was made specifically for agile thieves.

For other classes, even if they wanted to dodge, they lack this speed.

Chen Guan's branch of the Wind-chasing Thief also fits the Swimming Dragon Step very well, and Chen Huan himself truly inherited Su Sheng's teachings.

Almost all ranged attacks were dodged, but a portion of the AoE damage still grazed him, so Chen Guan's HP instantly dropped to the danger line.

But Chen Guan, looking ahead at the pool, revealed a meaningful smile.

There, some of the Imperial Dynasty's ranged-class attacks likewise fell.

The Imperial Dynasty Guard Knight at the pool's center, having no friendly fire, suffered no effect whatsoever.

This certainly wasn't the Imperial Dynasty players missing their aim.

Rather, it was some 'experts' among the Imperial Dynasty making predictions… they knew Chen Guan had the assassin's hidden skill, Leap Attack.

They predicted that Chen Guan would use Leap Attack to charge straight into the pool, dodging the attacks while getting close to the Imperial Dynasty players in the pool.

But unfortunately, Chen Guan anticipated their anticipation.

Only now did Chen Guan unleash Leap Attack.

Swish~

He jumped straight into the pool.

Zhao Zilong, who had just adjusted his stance, swung a crippling strike, thrusting his spear, but Chen Guan dodged it with a Leap Attack.

Zhao Zilong gritted his teeth in hatred, damn…

This Yan Huang…

I, after all, am a named player on the Hall of Honor.

How come facing Yan Huang makes me feel like a toy?

But after glancing at Chen Guan, who had already jumped into the pool, Kong Lang… former leader of the Assassin Alliance, this guy ranks higher than me on the Hall of Honor.

Zhao Zilong could only hold his nose and accept it.

But… that guy in the pool… his Hall of Honor ranking is also higher than mine.

Zhao Zilong revealed a meaningful smile.

…

And in that pool, the Imperial Dynasty players receiving the earth vein's power baptism suddenly turned around!

Shield Strike!

The baptism process merely prevents leaving the pool, but that doesn't mean one cannot attack.

Moreover, while under baptism, they gain an extra earth power buff, additionally increasing their own HP recovery.

So… regarding Chen Guan's arrival, Xia Shang Xi Zhou isn't worried.

Even swapping in a powerful assassin, there's still a chance to kill me, after all I'm a tank.

A Wind-chasing Thief… forget it.

Moreover…

I'm not just some random street guy.

Xia Shang Xi Zhou, one of the Imperial Dynasty's deputy group leaders, is also a renowned player on the Hall of Honor, and at the same time is the Imperial Dynasty's first tank.

Xia Shang Xi Zhou also participated in the previous Cauldron Seizing Battle, but his luck was bad… he got taken out.

The Imperial Dynasty's two deputy group leaders are the Furious Warrior Zhao Zilong and the Guard Knight Xia Shang Xi Zhou.

As soon as Chen Guan landed, Xia Shang Xi Zhou's Shield Strike came.

Quick reaction!

Bam~

Hit!

Chen Guan staggered.

Fortunately…

No dizziness was triggered.

But Chen Guan's already low HP is now in peril.

Shadow Step!

'Hey~'

Xia Shang Xi Zhou grinned, predicted and swung his sword, simultaneously turning around!

For an assassin, you definitely need to land a back strike.

A back-striking assassin also gets extra damage bonus.

Moreover, for a Wind-chasing Thief wanting to kill a tank like me, only a back strike will do.

So, Xia Shang Xi Zhou directly anticipated Chen Guan's movement.

Huh?

Empty?!

Chen Guan appeared again behind Xia Shang Xi Zhou, grinning… Sorry, little bro, you're still too green.

I predicted, your prediction…

Oh no!

Xia Shang Xi Zhou reacted instantly, that guy Kong Lang's Shadow Step just swayed…

Pfft~

Stun Club!

Dizziness!

Swish swish swish~

The Wind Thief's attack speed, combined with Free Mode, Chen Guan adopted Su Sheng's unique attack rhythm… Instant Kill, only about a second, killing intent maxed out.

Instant Kill… as the name suggests, it's slaughter in a confined space.

In this virtual-reality game, many people habitually raise their weapons and stab as hard as they can.

But this is a game, and as the saying goes, a hard stab and a light stab deal the same damage.

Assassins are naturally agile, the dagger's attack range is small; Instant Kill is a stab followed by a sideways slash, allowing nearly seamless two attacks.

Just lift the hand slightly away from the target, then stab again—no need for a big motion.

This allows the assassin's attack frequency to be maximized.

Killing intent maxed!

Weak point judged!

Finishing move!

Pfft~

-27933!

Weak Point Critical Hit!

Over twenty thousand, approaching thirty thousand HP!

Combined with previous attacks, total damage exceeded thirty thousand HP, already astonishing.

But…

Xia Shang Xi Zhou didn't die.

Xia Shang Xi Zhou's total HP, with the Priest's buff, has reached about thirty-five thousand.

Normally he should be dead… Chen Guan's output has met the standard, even exceeded it.

However…

This is the Imperial Dynasty's main base…

The pool itself still regenerates HP.

Those Imperial Dynasty Priests immediately gave Xia Shang Xi Zhou a heal.

If you can't insta-kill, you can't possibly kill Xia Shang Xi Zhou.

"You lost, Kong Lang!"

At this moment, Xia Shang Xi Zhou's dizziness also wore off.

Shield Raise, then turn around again.

Behind, the Imperial Dynasty players' ranged attacks have also come down.

Chen Guan is out of HP, even the Yan Huang Priest here can't save him.

"Hey…"

Chen Guan grinned and pulled out a pitch-black thing.

"Holy shit!"

The moment he saw that thing, Xia Shang Xi Zhou's face changed drastically.

This thing, anyone who participated in the Contest for the Cauldron will remember it deeply… or rather, anyone who has watched it.

Heavenly Bombardment!

Back in the Contest for the Cauldron, the Primordial Daoist Jiang Yuan used this item to blast the Morning Star Ying Huo to death.

10*10 indiscriminate group damage AOE!

Chen Guan didn't want to either, but he did his best; there are too few Yan Huang people, and the Assassin Guild's main force isn't here either.

Brother Sheng said… no matter the cost!

As for where this thing came from.

Su Sheng bought it, 5000 Gold Coins each, now 80r per Gold Coin, this item costs 400k each!

After the Contest for the Cauldron, Su Sheng made one, then Chen Guan shamelessly took it.

Well, it's being put to use now.

…

I really want to run~

But I can't escape~

All I can do is wait to die helplessly; this is the most agonizing torment.

The moment he saw the Heavenly Bombardment, Xia Shang Xi Zhou instinctively wanted to run.

But… can't get out!

After accepting the baptism, you can't leave this pool.

He can only… die out.

Chen Guan gave one last glance toward the Yanhuang camp…

He can only buy a little time.

Boom!!
