Chapter 1332: The smile of the sword G.o.d (10)

Translator: 549690339 

The winter night was very long.

It was long enough to complete many things.

For example, killing someone.

Tonight’s Lin Jin town was undoubtedly a good place to kill.

Because no one could tell why the people who were killed here had died.

They might be killed by their enemies, or they might be killed by other people who wanted to take the “sword dance gra.s.s record.” There was also a possibility that they would end up dead when they wanted to kill others.

Even if there were “witnesses”, it would be useless. In such an environment … Who could guarantee that those who testified were telling the truth? They had every reason to lie for their own purpose, so why not do something like this, where they could kill someone with a borrowed knife just by talking?

Therefore, on this night, the killing was relatively free.

The killing intent that was usually suppressed was already stirring in the hearts of the people …

Those who were proficient in hidden weapons and night walking; Those who had a grudge for a long time, but did not dare to take revenge because of the other party’s power; Those who schemed to replace their fellow disciples … To these people, tonight’s opportunity was not to be missed.

For the players in this scenario, this ‘chaos’ also provided them with the advantage of ‘winning the battle’ and ‘having fewer enemies’.

“After waiting for a day, I only managed to grasp the whereabouts of three people. I feel like … I’ve made a slight mistake.” Under the moonlight, sas.h.i.+mi stood on the roof of a building and looked down at the town in front of him.

“Do you think … It’s possible for them to enter the town without your detection?” Zen dream was standing beside him, still looking as lazy as ever, with a bottle of wine in her left hand.

“The ‘sound sh.e.l.ls’ scattered throughout the town are all functioning normally. My detection has no blind spots.” Sas.h.i.+mi replied confidently,”it doesn’t matter if they came in from the mountains behind the town, jumped in from the sky, or crawled in from the ground. As long as they entered the vicinity of Linjin town, I will definitely know …”

“Ha …” Zen dream chuckled.”Then there are two possibilities; first; we only have young master Sword, not a scaredy cat; and Xu Huai Shang as our opponents; Secondly, there are also unknown number of enemy players. Before we can detect them, they will detect us … And then they will choose not to enter the town. ”

“I’d rather believe the latter. ” Raw fish slice said,”at least … Xu Huai Shang should have a teammate outside the town, right?”

“That …” Zen dream took a sip of wine.”Hmm … I don’t think so.”

“Not necessarily?” Raw fish slice was suspicious.”Hey, hey … Don’t tell me you haven’t figured out the rules of this ‘combination chaotic battle’ mode? It has to be two people in a team …”

“I know,” Zen dream interrupted him and added,”what I mean is that her teammates have most likely left the scenario.”

“Ha?” The raw fish still didn’t understand.”Why? Do you have any basis for your speculation?”

“Well …” Zen dream thought for a while,”there’s no harm in telling you …” He pouted and continued,”as far as I know, Xu Huai Shang and Hong Ying’s contract is about to expire, but the two sides haven’t reached an agreement on the renewal.” He paused and explained further,”because Xu Huai Shang’s contract clearly states that her game account belongs to her, this means that if she leaves Hong Ying, the game character that Hong Ying trained will leave with her … Even if the contract restricts her from joining other Studios for the next few months, she can still partic.i.p.ate in various compet.i.tions as a professional player … So, at this stage … Red Sakura had already stopped providing her with all sorts of resources. At the same time, she had used the terms in the contract to prohibit her from forming parties with other players. However, the rights and responsibilities in the contract are relative, so she naturally has her own rights. Hong Ying can’t make things too difficult for her … For example, we can’t use terms to force her to not be able to partic.i.p.ate in certain types of scripts. ”

“Oh …” Sas.h.i.+mi was a veteran professional gamer, so he had seen similar situations before. When he heard this, he roughly understood.”So, they found a random account to play with her, logged out immediately after entering the scenario, and let her play on her own … This way, it wouldn’t be considered as ‘banning her from playing normally’.”

Zen dream nodded.”When I saw her entering the town alone today, I immediately thought of this … By the looks of it, she’s pretty much done with Hong Ying.”

“Wait a minute …” Raw fish slice said,”then where did you hear about the termination of the contract?”

“I’m familiar with the management. ” Brother Zen replied in a matter-of-fact tone,”they’ve been planning to sign Xu Huai Shang recently. They’ve even offered to pay her salary during the period when she’s affected by the ‘business prohibition agreement’. Of course, that’s all I know. I don’t know how much the other unfair treaties and ‘contract fees’ gave her, but it’s definitely much, much, much higher than when we came …”

“Look at how unbalanced you are …” Sas.h.i.+mi narrowed his eyes and said expressionlessly,”why don’t you say eight ‘a lot’?”

“I’m not being unfair. Just as it is … There are really a lot of them. ” Zen dream replied,”but … To be honest, I think she’s worth that much. From the perspective of the fan economy, I can understand that Xu Huai Shang’s value is ten times or eight times more than ours …”

“Thank you for the compliment.” The next second, a woman’s voice was heard and she replied to brother Chan.

At that moment, Zen Dream’s pupils contracted, and every pore on his body seemed to be soaked in a cold current.

He turned his head slightly and looked at the raw fish slices.

However, he just happened to see the head of the raw fish slice … Slide down from his neck.

When the neat knife cut came into brother Zen’s eyes, the raw fish slices also began to turn white.

Even at that moment, the corpse was still standing and had not fallen.

The slash was so fast that the raw fish slice didn’t even realize it was being cut before it was determined to be dead.

“Phew …” Two seconds later, brother Zen slowly turned around and sighed.”I was too careless …”

When Zen dream acted alone, he would rarely be careless. His carelessness this time stemmed from his trust in his teammates.

Even so, it was not a mistake. This was because his teammate was a sas.h.i.+mi, and he was the player with the best detection ability in Thriller Paradise … There was no other.

However, most of the time, the “strongest” spot was where the breakthrough was.

From the conversation just now, it wasn’t hard to tell that sas.h.i.+mi had absolute confidence in his ability. His statement of “my detection has no blind spots” was definitely not a lie.

However, once someone found a “blind spot” in this kind of detection, it would be fatal to the caster.

“That’s not careless … It took me a whole day to get used to the frequency of the sound sh.e.l.ls.” As Xu Huai Shang said this, her figure had already appeared on the roof behind Zen dream.

At this moment, she no longer covered her face like she did during the day.

Under the moonlight, her slender figure was like a flawless blade. His bright eyes were filled with cold killing intent.

“I understand …” Zen dream looked at him and said,”use energy to completely cover the surface of the body, forming a layer of dynamic ‘armor’, and then let this energy layer maintain the same frequency as the sound sh.e.l.l. This way … You can ‘become’ invisible ‘in the detection net of the raw fish slices …”

“As expected of Zen dream, you can deduce my technique just by listening to one sentence.” Xu Huaishang replied.

“Haha …” Brother Zen laughed and took out a pack of cigarettes. He lit one up and blew out a puff of smoke.”You’ve overestimated me. I’m not the kind of genius who can see through all kinds of complicated techniques with just a glance, and I don’t have Feng bujue’s brain that can think of a hundred things in a second …” He paused.”The reason I was able to guess your technique so quickly is because … Before today, I’ve already learned your technique.”I’ve been thinking about how to avoid the detection of sas.h.i.+mi. ”

“So … You’ve already thought of this method?” Xu Huaishang asked.

“That’s right …” Zen dream dusted off his cigarette and replied,”I may look like this now … But I’m actually quite a compet.i.tive person. Even if we’re teammates from the same studio, I’ll still study how to defeat them.” He paused for half a second and said,”of course … There are many things that can be thought of, but it doesn’t mean that they can be done. I’ve said it before, I’m not a genius. If I were to use an a.n.a.logy … A genius can give twelve answers to ten questions, while I can only give one. ”

“So, you think … I’m a genius?” Xu Huai Shang said.

“Of course you are.” Zen dream spread his hands.”You, Phantom Hunter, s.h.i.+va, w.a.n.g Tanzhi, pa.s.sing rain, Bladesman no, seven kills, uncle loser, ODA AI … I guess there are only a few of them.” As he thought about it, he counted nine people.”In terms of combat, the nine of you are the most outstanding people I know … However,’the most talented’ doesn’t mean that you are the strongest.”

You seem to have forgotten to include Feng bujue.” This was Xu Huaishang’s first reaction.

“Him …” Zen dream shrugged.”I can’t judge someone who’s beyond my ability.”

“So, you’re quite familiar with my strength?” Xu huaixuan said.

“Heh … The same to you.” Zen dream said,”you and I both know why you only used one blade in your sneak attack just now …”

He was not bluffing.

There was a reason why Xu huaixuan’s attack only targeted sas.h.i.+mi and not Zen dream, who was only a meter away.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to, but she wasn’t confident …

It wasn’t difficult to sneak an attack on him because he had absolute confidence in his detection ability. This confidence and ‘reliance’ were in direct proportion.

When the strongest ability he relied on was found by others, his empty self-confidence made him an defenseless target.

However, Zen dream was different. Even though he trusted his teammates and was not on guard against his surroundings … In terms of a martial artist’s instinct, he was much stronger than sas.h.i.+mi. That instant of killing intent was enough to trigger his reaction.

If Xu Huai Shang had attacked two people at the same time or only attacked Zen dream, her sneak attack might not have been successful.

Although the success rate was still very high, perhaps 80% or 90%… It was definitely not like when he sneak attacked the raw fish slices earlier, where he had a 100% chance of success.

With this in mind, she would naturally choose the plan that would definitely succeed.

After all … She didn’t have any teammates.

If her sneak attack failed, even if she could severely injure one of them, she would still be able to take on the two of them. In front of the two masters of order, she didn’t dare to be careless even in a one-on-one fight, let alone with another person who could recover from his injuries at any time and join the battle.

“Since we all know each other’s strength …” Two seconds later, Xu Huai Shang replied,”then let’s stop chatting …”

What she meant was that Xuxu was almost done talking and it was time for them to take action.

Zen dream also agreed with this suggestion. If the two of them continued to be in a stalemate, it would be very disadvantageous for both of them.

Because a face-to-face matter…Was even more mentally and physically exhausting than a battle.

Although the two of them were standing there without moving, during this conversation … Every second, they were looking for an opportunity to attack, and at the same time, they had to be on guard against the opponent’s movements. This was a great test of concentration.

If they were to waste too much time here, even if they won, it might have a negative impact on their future battles with other players.

“Alright,” he said. When Zen dream replied, he threw away the cigarette b.u.t.t (he had already put away the wine bottle before he took it out).”Then I’ll … Help myself.”

Before he finished speaking, he had already drawn his sword.

He didn’t consider himself a “genius”, not because he was being humble, nor because he wanted to pretend to be a pig to eat the Tiger.

It was just like Zen Dream’s metaphor for a genius …

It was true that he could not answer ‘ten questions’. Even if he spent time thinking hard, he could only answer six or seven questions at most.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, he could only answer “one question.”

And that question would always be related to the “sword.”

It happened too late!

With a flash of light, the figure disappeared.

The rustling of the wind came late.

The sword was faster than sound, and the man was faster than the sword.

The terrifying thing was … After the sword strike, there was no sound of metal clas.h.i.+ng in the night sky.

The sound of the wind seemed to be announcing that the attack had missed.

But in reality … It did not fail.

In that split second, the saber and the sword collided, but … One side was cut in half by the other in a “silent” state.

It was like using a sharp knife to cut a piece of tofu in the air. Naturally, it would not make any sound.

“Good swordsmans.h.i.+p.” Xu Huaishang stood on the spot, looking forward and said in a slightly tired tone.

She did not lower her head to look at her twin daggers, because she knew …… That the [falling flower] and [flying catkins] in her hands had been broken. She also knew that a hideous wound had been cut into her ribs.

“Ha …” Zen dream had already appeared behind Xu Huaishang, with her back facing him.

He laughed bitterly and took out a cigarette from his pocket again, putting one in his mouth.””I don’t think I’ll lose to anyone in terms of Sword Art.” He took out a lighter with the same hand and lit his cigarette.”What a pity …”

Just as he said the word “Xi,” the arm he used to hold the sword actually fell off from the shoulder, just like the head of the fish that had just fallen off …

Following that, Zen dream exhaled a puff of smoke. As he exhaled, three short but deep wounds appeared on his torso. The three wounds also spurted out blood at the same time, as if they were “spitting smoke”, which gathered into a b.l.o.o.d.y mist in the air.”That’s why …” He turned his head, still looking dispirited.”I hate fighting with you bunch of ‘geniuses’…”

After he finished speaking, he also turned into a white light and disappeared.

It wasn’t until this second that Xu Huai Shang finally relaxed a little. She knelt on one knee and quickly covered her wound with her hand.

She didn’t rush to use items or skills to heal herself. Instead, she cast her gaze on a shadow under the eaves and said coldly,””You don’t have to hide anymore. I knew you were there from the beginning …” Her eyes were like torches and her tone was firm. She didn’t seem like a person who was seriously injured at all.”Since you can cooperate with them, why don’t you talk to me too?”

After he finished speaking, a man, who was already pale from fear, walked out from the shadows.

“I haven’t asked … What’s your name, heroine …” Even someone like Fang Jin was trembling with fear when he spoke.
