"What's going on? Why did the person suddenly change?"
The tense atmosphere did not affect Duan Qing who was present. It also made players from all over the free world confused. Unable to directly see the situation, they could only press on the confusion in their hearts and point to the channel in their ears. The messages that came in kept asking their respective companions: "Didn't Xue Ling Huan Bing face off against Sunset Guyan just now? What is the situation now?"
"It should be that the 'six major sects' who are the challengers have been replaced, and the ones they replaced are the beautiful jade that they have come up with through hard work - well, it is difficult for a new sect of the Wings of Freedom to wait for the elegance hall. He doesn’t represent the highest level of professional strength, let alone a member of the ‘Old Alliance’ faction… Isn’t he really here to cause trouble?”
"Why are you looking down on someone who has a good life? I have watched many of his games offline. Regardless of his character, that kid's strength is definitely good. And - if he replaces him, wouldn't it be Xue Ling? Huanbing vs. Liangchen Meiyu? This is a great fun duel between the old and new Wings of Freedom!"
"Go and dream. Didn't you hear what happened just now? The Qingling Adventure Group will also be changing people, and the one coming on stage now is——"
"The Sky-Breaking Blade!"
The thunderous names stimulated the nerves of the entire virtual reality game world. The crowds of people wished they could travel through time and space to gather under the morning light on the bank of the sacred mountain. The deafening shouts gradually became uniform in the noisy evolution. The roar of the mountains echoed behind Duan Qing like a tsunami. Quietly looking at the back of the gray-robed magician, Xue Ling Huan Bing, one of the parties involved, was tired and rapid breathing and gradually stabilized. She blinked to eliminate the trance in her eyes. and confused, the questions and calls from other teammates gradually came to my ears: "How do you feel? Do you have any other nausea or hallucinations?"
"No, thank you." Xue Ling Huan Bing breathed a sigh of relief, pressing her forehead, and turned her attention to Xu Yu Liushang, who was taking care of herself: "Being able to come back here again... Phew, there is always a feeling of being in another world. The feeling.”
"Indeed, you almost lost yourself again." Gedman, who was also watching the tsunami roaring from the mountain below at the huge rock platform in front, replied in a heavy voice: "It seems that if you want to continue our game, If we continue, we will still have to guard against their use of 'off-board moves'."
"No need for next time, not this time?" Pointing to the handsome man standing opposite Duan Qing, Shi Shiran, who stood tall in the wind, shouted towards Ri Dongsheng with an angry look on his face: "Hidden weapons can hurt people, right? How can you interfere so casually? A one-on-one duel? This kind of person should be directly sentenced to defeat! Am I right, Lord Alliance Leader?"
"...It's too late to say that now."
Still focusing all his attention on Xue Ling Huan Bing, Xu Yuliu, who was inspecting the other party's body, replied without turning his head: "The key is that no one can prove this matter. Now that Tianfeng has ended, continue to make a fuss. Blaming will only make us appear petty."
"What happened to me...?" The stinging sensation in his chest still left its aftermath. Xue Ling Huan Bing, who struggled to raise his head, asked about the situation: "Have I been sneak attacked? But just now—— "
"That's right, no one noticed anything unusual just now. He was the only one who jumped down." He lowered his voice and gestured towards Duan Qing below in a much gentler tone: "No one knows how he found out. Even Ninglan didn't notice the other party's move."
"Ninglan has seen some clues, but it's just a matter of time later." Ninglan stood quietly with his hands folded in front of him. Only then did Ninglan smile and answer when the secret word was mentioned: "Ninglan Lan saw that Mr. Lingbing took out something from Miss Lingbing’s chest, it seemed to be a silver needle, Miss, you should have noticed it yourself, right?”
"..."
Recalling everything that had happened in front of him, Xue Ling Huan Bing's silent face became more and more ugly. Whispering Liushang, who shook his head at the secret language Ninglan, then showed his smiling face again and patted his white hair. The woman comforted her softly from behind: "Don't think too much, it's all over."
"Although I don't know what happened to you, everything is still fine, isn't it?" When she said this, she deliberately put on an angry look: "I am very jealous. If I were like this, A critical situation occurred, and then he came to save me as a hero. It was great, but now you have snatched it away."
"...I need a break."
Not paying attention to the other party's jokes and comfort, Xue Ling Huan Bing kept looking back and forth between the two figures Duan Qing and Liangchen Meiyu confronting each other: "I need to...restore my spirit."
"No problem, let's go." He nodded with the other teammates present, turned around and smiled at Xue Ling Huan Bing and said: "Leave the matters here to us, Captain."
There seemed to be no interest in the upcoming battle of the century. The figure of the white-haired female swordsman lying half on the ground turned into decomposed white light and gradually disappeared, but the scene belonging to the real world did not appear in the next moment. In front of her after she logged off, the familiar boundless white of the login interface appeared: "Don't be anxious yet, Mr. Captain."
"...Your Majesty the Great Magician."
The girl's figure and trailing black wavy hair were particularly eye-catching against the plain pale white clothes. Recognizing the person's identity, Xue Ling Huan Bing subconsciously arranged her appearance: "How did you do it?" Came here? And——"
"Don't be surprised, don't panic, it was me who stopped you from leaving." With a mature smile that was inconsistent with her image and temperament, Violet, with slender eyebrows, gently bent her waist: "After all, if I let you leave this world like this, there may be a lot of problems that may arise."
"Problem?" Xue Ling Huan Bing's tone also became serious: "What's the problem? Do you know what happened to me?"
"I have just discussed this with your close friend."
Gently turning behind Xue Ling Huan Bing, Violet circled him as if sizing up a piece of fine porcelain and kept scanning him up and down: "Ignoring issues such as unexplained origins, what you have in mind should be the 'real world' The Wedge' is an extremely powerful god-level magic recorded in an era older than the ancient magic empire."
"If it is not dealt with in time, your 'existence' itself may become chaotic." A faintly glowing palm caressed the back of Xue Ling Huan Bing, and Violet's tone also matched her expression. They gradually became lowered together: "The most serious consequence is that you may end up with the same fate as my lovely magic apprentice. You don't want to be trapped here forever, do you?"
"If that's the case, I can't accept it." After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Xue Ling Huan Bingfu pointed at his face again: "But I don't want to become the 'empty shell' I used to be again. And then being used by others - is my current 'cognition' still normal?"
"I'm afraid you have to ask yourself, after all, no one can make a judgment for you." Violet crossed her hands and stopped checking and let out a chuckle: "My personal opinion is: as long as You can still successfully distinguish words, sounds, friends and foes, and recall correct memories - well, I seem to be talking some useless nonsense, but there is nothing I can do about it. After all, even if you are as miserable as me, you have not been affected by the world. What about the exciting experience of inserting a wedge into the body, oh hehe hehe."
"...We'll talk about using me as a test subject later. Is that wedge still in my body now?"
"I can be sure of this: he is no longer here."
"Is it...that silver needle-like thing that appeared on my chest before?"
"I don't know about this either. You need to ask my lovely apprentice himself. He is the only one who has experienced the accident at the scene. Only he, the 'man who changes destiny', has the ability to break this legendary world-class magic."
"...It seems that's right."
Carefully feeling all the conditions he was in at this time, Xue Ling Huan Bing took a deep breath and clutched his chest tightly: "Thank you, the Great Magician, for your help. It's really great to be able to get your explanation and comfort at this moment. A very thankful thing.”
"So his worries are all unnecessary. Don't you seem to be emotionally stable?" Violet's serious expression instantly collapsed, and Violet, who looked casual, waved her hands and turned her head towards the direction she came from: " I have to take the trouble to come over and observe you, for fear that something will happen to you again... Really, am I not the one who needs care and rest?"
"Haha, the same goes for Your Excellency the Great Magician. He seems to be more energetic now." Xue Ling Huan Bing chuckled involuntarily, and Xue Ling Huan Bing's usually cold eyebrows became a little softer at this time: "But I have to say I have no emotion at all and that’s not accurate either.”
"I understand, I understand. If it were me, I would be a little bit...angry." Turning her back to Xue Ling Huan Bing, Violet pinched her fingers and revealed a little bit of the profile of a girl. : "Just rest in peace and recuperate. First repair your over-consumed mental state. As for venting your anger——"
"Leave it to your current boyfriend."
Click!
The harsh sound of metal collision, like lightning tearing, then appeared above the transparent platform of the Holy Mountain Arena in the Free World. The brilliant brilliance of the two figures' simultaneous attacks also indicated that the game had officially begun. The man with his back against the giant rock The light in Duan Qing's hand also turned into real lightning in the next moment, striking behind the afterimage of Liangchen Meiyu's fast running three times in a row: "Thunder and Lightning Technique!"
"too slow!"
The zigzag movement was followed by a fleeting sword light. The heavy step of the beautiful jade stopped in front of Duan Qing for a faster moment, and the colorful sword edge melted under the explosion of drawing the sword. The bright crescent moon instantly swallowed up Duan Qing's seemingly unresponsive body. The strange feeling of not hitting anything made his nerves tense again. Liangchen Meiyu quickly locked the opponent's new position in the next moment, but before he could raise his sword to get closer, several streaks of ice rose under his feet. Zhu took the lead and blocked his way: "Ice Cone Technique!"
"Are you casting spells at fixed points? This is such a small trick..."
Not even willing to dodge the attack of these icicles, Liangchen Meiyu drew his sword again and instantly split countless sword lights. A disdainful smile appeared behind him. The icicles surrounding him also responded to his sword lights. It turned into ice chips all over the sky, reflecting the dazzling light in the morning light: "——Even my sword can't stop it!"
Another colorful sword roar caused the airflow in the entire arena to surge. Half of the area covered by ice chips was completely covered by Liangchen Meiyu's attack. When he noticed the slightest movement, he immediately wanted to raise his sword to pursue, and then stepped forward. But his pace suddenly stopped: "What?"
"Flowing Water Technique."
The ice floe under his feet spread to Liangchen Meiyu at some point, and then wrapped his entire legs in Duan Qing's unhurried voice: "Elemental transformation - freezing."
"It's just a little borrowed from the characteristics of water flow."
Duan Qing appeared calmly in front of the sky full of ice shards. Duan Qing, who had taken out the elemental staff at some point, then waved down at the green-shirted swordsman who was locked in place and struggling: "Fireball Technique."
"joke!"
Easily splitting the fireball in front of him into scattered flames with an instant sword slash, Liangchen Meiyu broke free from the ice and gritted his teeth viciously and yelled: "You have been playing tricks for a long time! In the end, you want to hurt me with this kind of thing?"
"Sword Dance and Thunder!"
The dazzling sword light surrounded him with Liangchen Meiyu's roar, and the next moment it turned into a sharp brilliance that rushed towards Duan Qing's direction. The gray-robed magician who did not flee in panic raised his hand. He raised the staff in his hand, and layers of earthy yellow surrounded him: "Earth Wall Technique."
boom!
The thunder fire caused by the dazzling sword light was blocked by the rising earth wall, but it was unable to stop Liangchen Meiyu's sword blade that followed closely. The chopped earth was then scattered wantonly in the exploding sword energy, and mixed with the rocks. Compared with the looser soil, it was easily shaken into sandstorm-like dust all over the sky. Unexpectedly, the earth wall that the other party faced in response to his final blow would be so fragile. Liangchen Meiyu, who used too much force, finally stopped himself before he almost rushed off the platform. Duan Qing's relaxed and freehand voice also gradually Appeared not far behind him, and the raised left hand began to have faint purple rune threads surrounding it: "His Excellency Liangchen Meiyu is really powerful, he beat me hard to fight back."
"Hmph, there's no need to taunt me in a weird way." Wiping the dust on her face, Liangchen Meiyu replied bitterly: "You didn't use your full strength at all, right?"
"Everyone is talking to each other. With your current reputation in the virtual professional world, your strength must be more than this." Taking a step back with his staff, Duan Qingshi stepped forward calmly. Etiquette: "Faced with the name 'Sky-Breaking Blade' but unwilling to use all your strength, your courage is worthy of admiration."
"Hmph, it's just something that has been buried in the ground a long time ago. What's there to be afraid of?" He stood up straight, raised the beautiful jade horizontal sword at the corner of his mouth and said sarcastically: "I will bury you in the ground with my own hands." Went in."
"very good."
The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and Duan Qing, who was also holding a flower stick, lowered his head and murmured softly: "Now that I have such awareness——"
"Then I can do my best."
