The pigeon, listening to the mysterious voice in its mind, reacted and began to act according to the voice's instructions. Mò Tiān's attacks landed punch after punch on the shield. The pigeon then started counting and, seizing the opportune moment, swung its fist. A golden fist flew towards the opponent's right fist, and with a booming sound, a wave of energy rippled outwards. Mò Tiān looked at the pigeon with astonishment, his attack patterns seen through?
Then, he unleashed both fists, and the pigeon countered with its own. The shield was slung onto its back. The pigeon's class could be described as an integrated offense and defense, possessing combat capabilities. However, Chén Tiān had instructed him to conserve his strength as the match would be observed, and revealing too much of the team's strength was inadvisable, with teammates still needing to fight.
This was why the pigeon had maintained a passive defense. But now, the initiative had shifted to the pigeon. The pigeon unleashed a flurry of punches, golden fists flying towards Mò Tiān. Mò Tiān also met the assault with his own fists; challenging him to a contest of raw power was suicidal.
Meanwhile, on the Side of the Digital Red Devil, Lín Fēng clashed with Shù Zì. The long sword met the Heaven Saber, their collision sparking ferociously. At the side, Hóng Mó shouldered a rocket launcher, preparing to attack.
Shù Zì's long sword and the opponent's short saber continuously clanged. The sharp sound of sword against saber echoed. Shù Zì's attacks were fierce, each strike carrying a hint of dominance. Lín Fēng's saber techniques were equally potent.
The Heaven Saber profession was like that: overbearing and unreasonable, its fearsome power capable of cleaving through anything.
Shù Zì's long sword flicked upwards, instantly knocking Lín Fēng's short saber away. Simultaneously, a vertical slash lunged towards Lín Fēng. Lín Fēng threw the short saber from his left hand to his right and then executed a horizontal cleave. With a boom, energy waves spread, and both fighters were forced back.
*Boom, boom!* Numerous missiles shot out from Hóng Mó's weapon. Hóng Mó commenced its assault, no less than a dozen missiles streaking towards Lín Fēng. Lín Fēng swung his short saber, and instantly, saber light flared, slicing all the missiles in half, which then exploded.
The rocket launcher on Hóng Mó's shoulder suddenly revealed a machine gun-like mechanism. Then, a *da-da-da* sound erupted as bullets rained down on Lín Fēng. Lín Fēng froze, bewildered. What kind of weapon was this, possessing the attack modes of both a Gunner and a Machine Gunner?
Subsequently, the saber light in his hand transformed into a shield. The endless barrage of bullets struck the shield and were deflected. At that moment, Shù Zì suddenly appeared behind Lín Fēng.
Lín Fēng reacted, launching a spinning kick with his right leg. Instantly, the long sword was kicked aside, and Lín Fēng retreated.
Lín Fēng looked at the man and woman before him. These two were proving to be quite a handful!
"Damn it, if we hadn't been separated, I wouldn't be this strained fighting one-on-one."
Lín Fēng grumbled. According to the original plan, they were supposed to each face one opponent. Who knew they would be ambushed? Now Lín Fēng had to contend with two, and he could clearly see the synergy and coordination between Shù Zì and Hóng Mó. Hóng Mó's positioning was evidently within the combat range of Shù Zì and himself, and it was difficult for him to target Hóng Mó from that spot.
Shù Zì drew his sword and charged directly at him. He would not give the opponent any opportunities and intended to finish him off quickly to assist Gē Zi and the others.
Lín Fēng understood Shù Zì's intention to end the fight swiftly. However, his goal was simply to stall for time. Since they were facing a two-on-one situation here, someone else would also have to face a two-on-one. As long as he could hold on, victory would be theirs.
Lín Fēng summoned his short saber and met Shù Zì's charge.
Meanwhile, on Chén Tiān's side, Chén Tiān's identity was exposed. Lín Chén and Xī Yuán's expressions turned grave. The information about the current opponent, Dé Ēn Ài Lì Yà, was very clear: multiple professions, multiple races. No one knew which profession's skills or which race's abilities he might employ.
Take, for instance, the current Divine Ice and Divine Fire weapons. Lín Chén spoke, "Xī Yuán, please reinforce my weapon! Otherwise, I won't be able to withstand the Divine Fire and Divine Ice weapons."
"Alright!" kuAiδugg
His magic staff extended, and instantly, nine layers of magical halos appeared. One halo emanated radiance and moved towards Lín Chén's weapon. Equipment reinforcement was one of its nine effects.
The black short saber, illuminated by the radiance, began to glow darkly, and its blade extended by several feet, becoming indistinguishable from a long sword.
Lín Chén and Xī Yuán met each other's gaze and nodded. They both knew what the other intended. Then, Lín Chén's figure surged towards Chén Tiān.
He swung his black long saber, directly cleaving towards Chén Tiān. Chén Tiān responded with his Divine Fire long sword, and their figures exploded backward.
Chén Tiān spoke, "Reinforced the weapon? It's approximately reached the level of a White Blaze player's weapon, isn't it?"
Chén Tiān observed the opponent's weapon and once again intensified his Divine Fire. The hardness of his long sword became even more formidable.
In the game "Epoch of Time," beyond Gold quality weapons, there were also: White Star, Purple Light, Seven Blaze, Nine Light, World Extinguishing, and Radiant Void quality weapons. These were the full designations of all weapon tiers.
The opponent's weapon corresponded to the White Blaze tier: White Star, surpassing the strength of Chén Tiān's current weapon. If not for the Divine Fire's ability to continuously repair it, Chén Tiān's weapon would have shattered long ago.
Chén Tiān looked at Lín Chén before him, their gazes like sharp blades. Then, their figures blurred into afterimages, and in the sky, only the crescent moon-like flashes of their attacks could be seen, the individuals themselves invisible.
Xī Yuán conjured a magic circle. The first layer of the magic circle began to glow. It was a nine-sided ornate magic circle with patterns resembling wave crests. White radiance continuously illuminated the patterns, and Xī Yuán was already sweating profusely. He had to hurry. Lín Chén was buying him time, but he had already cast several effect circles in a single match; frankly, he was finding it difficult to endure.
The casting time for skills was already long, and without rest, he was truly struggling. But Xī Yuán still chose to persevere, determined to complete this magic circle at all costs.
Chén Tiān and Lín Chén's battle continued. Lín Chén's long saber suddenly changed its style, becoming elegant and ethereal, like soft cotton. Chén Tiān's attacks became more ferocious.
The long sword and long saber clashed. They both recoiled simultaneously, but Chén Tiān was the first to regain his balance. He then twirled his long sword, creating a dance of sword flowers, and a series of Divine Fire sword beams shot out, converging into a sword light sphere that charged towards Lín Chén.
Free Swordsman Skill: Free Sword Slash!
Lín Chén recognized that Chén Tiān had used a skill and unleashed his own. His power gathered continuously on the black long saber. Behind Lín Chén, a colossal black skull appeared. The skull opened its eyes and mouth, transforming into countless black particles that dispersed around Lín Chén.
Then, Lín Chén gripped his left wrist with his right arm. His left hand slid across the long saber, and the black particles were slowly absorbed. He then cleaved forward.
The massive saber blade formed from the black particles moved towards Chén Tiān's sword energy sphere.
Blade Demon Skill: Blade Demon Skull Shadow Kill!
The sword energy sphere and the black blade collided, and black smoke erupted. Simultaneously, Chén Tiān's figure appeared directly in front of Lín Chén. Lín Chén was stunned; he had used the mist to conceal himself. However, he was too familiar with the opponent's intentions.
Then, he swung his long saber again, and instantly, the residual black particles formed a shield before him. He retreated, and then shouted, "Detonate!"
As Chén Tiān's long sword struck the shield, an explosion sounded. Chén Tiān's figure reappeared before Lín Chén, but his health had decreased by 10%. Chén Tiān spoke, "Tricked me for a moment, quite good!"
"Xī Yuán, is it ready yet?"
Lín Chén looked at Xī Yuán anxiously. Xī Yuán gritted his teeth and said, "Just a few more minutes. Hang in there, just a little longer!"
"Don't even think about it!"
Chén Tiān had discovered Lín Chén's objective. The priority target should still be Xī Yuán!
But Lín Chén blocked Chén Tiān's path, and they clashed once more. The more they fought, the more Lín Chén was at a disadvantage, while Chén Tiān's strength increased the longer the battle went on.
It was precisely for this reason that Lín Chén was protecting Xī Yuán. If Xī Yuán could unleash that move on him, he would have a chance to win. Otherwise, defeating him was impossible.
On Gē Zi's side, Gē Zi's offense had gained the upper hand. His punches became more ferocious. Guided by the voice in his mind, the opponent's attack and defense patterns were all easily neutralized by Gē Zi.
Mò Tiān was stunned and then exclaimed, "How is this possible? How did you see through my defense and attack patterns?"
Mò Tiān was aghast. It was as if the opponent knew what he intended to do next, accurately intercepting his attacks and defenses, thereby causing him to lose the initiative.
Gē Zi offered no reply to Mò Tiān's question. Who would tell him?
He then accelerated his attacks. Mò Tiān seemed to be provoked and a faint crimson aura emanated from his body. He then unleashed both fists. Gē Zi's head jolted, and he recoiled.
This punch had missed its target, striking the ground directly. Lava pillars erupted from the ground, cracks appeared, and magma flowed.
Mò Tiān's eyes turned crimson as he looked at Gē Zi, and then he declared, "Boy, you've forced me to use my full strength. Prepare to die."
"Kid, the opponent has activated an amplification skill, likely increasing their strength and physique by three times. Be careful not to confront it directly; choose to evade and circle. Otherwise, two punches will be your end."
"Understood."
Gē Zi's expression turned solemn. He took a deep breath and looked at Mò Tiān. An amplification skill? He had one too, but his amplification skill only lasted a few seconds. If the time exceeded, he would die. His death would consume his lifespan, so Gē Zi would not use it unless absolutely necessary.
Meanwhile, Shù Zì's side was engaged in a simple, almost tedious battle. Lín Fēng didn't want to fight and chose passive defense and evasion to stall for time, making it difficult for Shù Zì to end the battle quickly.
Lín Fēng believed that their captain and the others would defeat their opponents, and then it would be time for Shù Zì and his group to face their demise.
Compared to Gē Zi's situation, Hóng Mó on Shù Zì's side looked bored, lying on the ground. When the opponent didn't want to fight, Shù Zì was sufficient on his own; she was not needed. Moreover, the plan dictated this. He was only responsible for harassing the opponent's attacks and creating opportunities.
This weapon was not suitable for team combat. It was fine for solo play, but with Shù Zì present, Hóng Mó feared friendly fire.
Chén Tiān and Lín Chén continued to clash, but Lín Chén was constantly pushed back. Suddenly, a voice called out, "Alright, Lín Chén!"
A massive magic circle appeared above Lín Chén. Instantly, the nine-sided magic circle's patterns radiated brilliance, and a white beam of light struck Lín Chén. His status was immediately restored.
Simultaneously, his level began to surge, breaking through level one hundred and reaching the White Blaze tier. At level thirty of the White Blaze tier, all attributes became white points.
Xī Yuán's health was at 10%, weakened and unable to move. This move sacrificed his own health to activate, and its effect was to break through limits!
It broke through the player's level cap, forcibly increasing their level. As long as the magic circle remained, the effect would persist.
Chén Tiān looked at Lín Chén before him and shook his head. As expected, he should have dealt with the Mage first. What a variable!
