Chapter 116: Fierce Battle Outside the Church

Fierce Battle Outside the Church

"Disappeared?"

The moment Cheng Shi heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

In this world, there is no such thing as disappearing for no reason.

If Ji Ran could time his disappearance to the node, it meant he had always had a way to avoid being monitored by the wind!

And that also meant he had likely not been at the inn for a long time!

"Not good! Watch out!"

Cheng Shi shouted, immediately dropped a scalpel from his sleeve into his hand, and simultaneously cast a Healing Spell on the three people who hadn't entered the door yet.

And just at the moment he shouted, a silver light reflecting the blood moon whistled down from the church roof, smashing head-on toward Li Bola.

The Wind-Taming Ranger was not afraid, instantly transforming into a gust of wild wind that swept upward, colliding with the overwhelming silver light.

"Whoosh—"

"Boom—"

Torrents surged, and the air exploded!

The overflowing wild wind blew Qin Chaoge and Cheng Shi away directly. Cheng Shi rolled into the grass, holding his breath and concentrating, his brows furrowed tightly.

The predator hidden in the shadows finally revealed his claws at this moment.

The two in the air touched and separated, falling on both sides of the church.

Ji Ran was still in the same appearance as when they first met, with a bird's nest hairstyle and loose pajamas, only now he was carrying a giant sword on his shoulder, his eyes burning with fighting intent, and his temperament had nothing to do with a loafer anymore.

Looking at Li Bola......

She was injured.

In just one encounter, today's warrior had already shown his ferocity to outsiders.

Li Bola frowned and covered her side, her face extremely solemn.

"A fine 'waiting at ease for the exhausted'! It seems you rolled a good number today!"

"Huh?" Ji Ran shook his hair and smiled disdainfully. "This output can be achieved without dice, but since you say so, I'll roll one."

Saying this, Ji Ran actually threw his Fate Dice between the two in front of Li Bola and Cheng Shi.

The dice landed and rolled, and after a few turns, the face was up.

Cheng Shi looked closely:

13 points!

Damn, this is bad!

He immediately cast a Healing Spell on Li Bola, but along with the holy light of healing rushing toward Li Bola, there was also a faster silver light.

Ji Ran had already begun to build up power the moment the dice left his hand. Just at the moment the dice face was set, he directly erupted and rushed up.

The giant sword in his hand drew a terrifying arc, from top to bottom, carrying the power of twisting fate and slashing hard at the Ranger's head.

Li Bola looked at the incoming sword light without dodging or avoiding, instead instantly taking out a longbow made of bent clock hands, twisting the wind and stringing it, aiming at Ji Ran......

Somewhere behind him.

Yes, she didn't aim at Ji Ran, but at the position where he had stood before!

"Whoosh—"

"Swish—"

Only to see an arrow shaped by the gale whistling out, brushing past Ji Ran's cheek, and shooting rapidly toward his back.

The moment Ji Ran saw this arrow shoot out, he stopped his momentum and retracted his sword, reversed the blade, and chased after it with all his might.

Just before the arrow hit that position, he barely managed to knock it away.

And at the same time, Li Bola had already transformed into a gust of wild wind again, flying onto the roof, and shot another arrow toward Ji Ran's position from a few seconds ago.

Ji Ran was exhausted from dealing with it, and his offensive momentum weakened for a moment.

Cheng Shi constantly changed his position, secretly healing the Ranger while sighing in his heart that Li Bola was truly formidable.

This kite-flying technique was masterful, suppressing the warrior tightly.

But this fighting style also benefited from the Ranger's perverted mobility and the unique talent of 【Time】 bestowed upon the Hunter.

Remember, wind is never the authority of 【Time】; time is.

Although Wind-Taming Rangers can transform into wind at will, for them, the most proficient things are still the bow and arrow.

The Arrow of Time Reversal, this blessing unique to Wind-Taming Rangers, allows them to grasp the shadows left by opponents in the river of time and nail the enemy to the past time.

That is to say, as long as Ji Ran is hit by an arrow, the current him will not only have arrow wounds but will also be crushed by the pain of time accumulation that erupts instantly, revealing flaws.

Because this arrow didn't hit the current him, but the previous him!

Ji Ran clearly also knew that he wouldn't get any benefits if he kept fighting like this, and there was an assistant and a healer helping the Ranger, so dragging it out would only put him in a passive position.

So he immediately changed his strategy for dealing with the enemy. After knocking away a wind arrow, he quickly swung the giant sword like a hammer throw and threw it at the Ranger, while simultaneously exerting force under his feet and turning to rush toward......

Cheng Shi.

"?"

Seeing Ji Ran rushing toward him, Cheng Shi suddenly smiled.

He was just worrying about having no way to show his value, and this warrior of 【Fate】 had delivered himself to his door.

Perhaps his combat experience and intuition both told him that priests were generally soft persimmons, easy to handle.

But he forgot one thing, which was:

Persimmons can also be hard!

And Cheng Shi was rock hard!

The Wither Priest can not only bring healing to people but also bring decay.

Cheng Shi smiled brightly. He moved the moment Ji Ran set off, like a warrior launching a charge, and also rushed toward Ji Ran head-on.

The scalpel in his hand flew up and down like a butterfly. Before long, he had cut countless wounds on his own body. Blood was spilled as he ran, and the power of 【Decay】 surging from the cracks was as thick as a silkworm cocoon, wrapping Cheng Shi as he collided with the opponent.

His goal was very clear: exchange injury for injury!

To be honest, with trusted teammates who could shoulder the main output, Cheng Shi rarely used this method to attack.

He preferred to hide in the back as a pure healer.

But today was different. The complex situation made him have to do something to increase his weight in the three-person team, so as to have greater appeal and say in subsequent choices.

And this madness at this moment was the best bargaining chip!

A priest who does not abandon teammates and dares to exchange injury for injury can win everyone's trust in the vast majority of situations.

At least for now, he had first won the Ranger's trust.

Li Bola did not let Cheng Shi's attack go to waste.

She transformed into a wild wind, dodged the giant sword throw, and rushed rapidly between the two. The swirling airflow emptied the air in the middle, and the huge pressure accelerated the two people rushing toward each other.

However, just at the moment the decaying divine power was about to hit Ji Ran!

He disappeared.

But the wild wind carrying decay did not miss; instead, it hit a Singer who was preparing to sing!

Qin Chaoge was hit head-on by two forces. The tune brewing in her throat hadn't been sung yet before she swallowed it along with blood.

She was blown away like a broken rag, while Ji Ran stood in Qin Chaoge's previous position.

Only one step away from that void gate.

The believer of 【Fate】 had exchanged his fate with Qin Chaoge's.

"Tsk tsk, you guys are really ruthless to your own people. Goodbye, friends, waiting for me to open the choice of fate for you."

Ji Ran sneered and plunged into the void.

The three collided and rolled to the ground.

Li Bola transformed back into human form from the wind, only glanced at the two people beneath her, and then chased after him with her bow.

There was no need to say more when fighting to this point. If Ji Ran opened the choice of fate while the three of them were still outside, then in a situation where they didn't know how to choose, it would likely lead fate toward an unknown dangerous path.

Hu Xuan, who had entered first, wouldn't block Ji Ran for them, because in her eyes, perhaps there was only that 【Eternal Sun】.

So someone had to follow in. Currently, it seemed this person could only be the Ranger.

Qin Chaoge was suddenly hit and covered in blood. The sharp wind tore open her skin and flesh, and decay withered her soul. Her whole body was overflowing with decaying scars, her flesh withered, and her blood was black with rot. She looked like she was already on the verge of death.

But even so, this believer of 【War】 still gritted her teeth, holding on without spitting out a single mouthful of blood, as if spitting out this blood would mean losing all her face.

Cheng Shi looked at her appearance and scolded with a smile:

"You're also an embroidered pillow, sister. You were quite fierce when hitting me; why are you so weak when hitting others?"

Qin Chaoge glared at him indignantly, couldn't hold back a breath, and "wow" sprayed it out.

Cheng Shi didn't have time to dodge and was sprayed head-on with black blood.

"......"

Damn, bad luck.

He stood up and reached out his hand toward Qin Chaoge, preparing to pull her up, but Qin Chaoge shook her head and looked at the void gate behind the church.

"Go... chase her, don't worry about me."

Cheng Shi blinked in surprise: "Are you sure?"

"Nonsense... I won't die. Save your mental energy, go help the Ranger, I'll be... there soon."

Tsk, don't collapse soon.

Players at this level generally have a clear understanding of themselves. Since Qin Chaoge said there was no problem, she must have a way to stand up again.

Perhaps because she had been tricked by Ji Ran, she didn't want Cheng Shi to waste mental energy on her at this moment.

Cheng Shi stared at her for a while and nodded heavily.

"Good."

After saying this, he turned and followed into the void, carrying his injuries. ===== CHAPTER 117 =====
