"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 their confusion 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 factions' 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, a new faction of the Wings of Freedom has a hard time waiting 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 just 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 Holy Mountain. The deafening shouts gradually became uniform in the noisy evolution.
The roar of mountains and tsunami kept resounding behind Duan Qing. Looking quietly at the back of the gray-robed magician, Xue Ling Huan Bing, one of the parties involved, gradually stabilized his tired and rapid breathing.
, she blinked her eyes to eliminate the blur and confusion in her eyes, and gradually the questions and calls from other teammates came to her 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. She pressed 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.
What a feeling."
"Indeed, you almost lost yourself again." Gedman, who was also watching the tsunami roaring from the mountain below at the edge of the huge rock platform in front, replied in a heavy voice: "It seems that if you want to continue our game,
If we go on, we still have to guard against their use of 'off-board moves'."
"No need next time, can't we do it this time?" Pointing at 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 this 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.
Criticism will only make us appear petty."
"What happened to me...?" The stinging sensation in his chest still left an 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, and the code word was mentioned. Ninglan smiled and answered at this time: "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 behind her whispered comforting words: "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 to each other with the other teammates present, murmured, turned around and smiled at Xue Ling Huan Bing: "Leave the affairs here to us, Mr. 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 out, 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 white cloth. 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, I 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?" Then Xueling Huanbing's tone also became serious: "What problem? Do you know what happened to me?"
"I have just discussed it 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 lowered their voices: "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?"
"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. Only he has experienced the accident at the scene, and only he, the 'man who changes destiny', has the ability to break this legendary world-class magic."
"...It seems that's right."
Feeling carefully 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 fortunate 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, turned her head, and walked in 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 someone 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 also inaccurate.”
"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-exhausted mental state. As for venting your anger——"
"Leave it to your current boyfriend."
Katcha!
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 signaled that the game had officially begun. The man with his back against the giant rock side
The light in Duan Qing's hand also transformed into real lightning at 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.
Making a bright crescent moon, Duan Qing's seemingly unresponsive body was instantly swallowed up. The strange feeling of not hitting anything made his nerves tense again, and Liangchen Meiyu quickly locked on the opponent's body in the next moment.
New direction, but before he could approach with his sword, several icicles rising under his feet blocked his way: "Ice Cone Technique!"
"Are you casting spells at a fixed point? This wither 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 shards 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. Then he stepped forward.
But his pace suddenly stopped: "What?"
"Flowing Water Technique."
The ice floe under his feet spread to the front of Liangchen Meiyu at some point, and then Duan Qing's entire legs were wrapped in it with a gentle drink: "Elemental transformation - freezing."
"It's just a little borrowed from the characteristics of water flow."
Duan Qing, who appeared calmly in front of the sky full of ice shards, had taken out the elemental staff at some point and then waved down at the green-shirted swordsman who was locked in place and struggling: "Fireball."
"joke!"
Easily splitting the fireball in front of him into scattered flames with a momentary slash of the sword, Liangchen Meiyu broke free from the ice and gritted his teeth viciously and roared: "I've been playing wither bug tricks for a long time! In the end, I just want to hurt someone with this kind of thing.
I?"
"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 did not flee in embarrassment.
He raised the staff in his hand, and layers of earthy yellow surrounded him: "Earth Wall Technique."
boom!
The thunder and fire caused by the dazzling sword light was blocked by the rising earth wall, but it could not stop the sword blade of Liangchen Meiyu that followed closely. The chopped soil blocks were then scattered wantonly in the exploding sword energy, and mixed with the rocks.
Compared with the looser soil, it was easily shaken into dust like a sandstorm. I didn't expect that the opponent's earth wall in response to my final blow would be so fragile. Liangchen Meiyu, who had exerted too much force, finally managed to break it on his own.
He almost stopped before rushing off the platform. Duan Qing's relaxed and freehand words gradually emerged not far behind him, and a faint purple runic thread began to surround his raised left hand: "
Your Excellency Liangchen Meiyu is really powerful, he beat me so hard that it was difficult for me to fight back."
"Humph, 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." Duan Qing took a step back with his staff and stepped forward calmly.
Etiquette: "Faced with the name 'Sky-Breaking Blade' but unwilling to use all your strength, your courage is worthy of admiration."
"Humph, 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 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. Duan Qing, who was also holding a staff with a flower stick, lowered his head and whispered softly: "Now that I have such an awareness——"
"Then I can do my best."
