Chapter 48

Cheng Zihao, accompanied by his bodyguard A Yong, charged towards Li Miaomiao and Xiao Zeng. Before the four rookies had a chance to engage, on the other side, Dai Xiaqing and the archer Teng Ya had already clashed first!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh." The archer Teng Ya moved at high speed while shooting arrows.

For the top ten archers of the Xia Kingdom, shooting while moving was a basic skill.

It was no longer possible for an archer to instantly kill an opponent with a single shot, as Liu Jianfeng did on the first day of the virtual world's opening. Nowadays, these archers all practiced their agility, and those who ranked at the top in the country had at least reached the second stage in agility.

"Huff."

Dai Xiaqing was very fast, practicing the Lightning Snake Evolution Technique.

Among the five evolution techniques for women, the Illusion Cat Evolution Technique was the most agile. However, in terms of pure speed, the Lightning Snake Evolution Technique was superior.

At this moment, she charged at high speed, focusing on the archer Teng Ya.

In a one-on-one confrontation, she was not inferior to the archer Teng Ya.

"There's no one to protect me," the archer Teng Ya muttered to himself. "Dealing with an assassin one-on-one can be considered a form of training."

The archer Teng Ya stopped moving, drew his bow, and aimed at Dai Xiaqing.

As soon as he stopped, the distance between them rapidly closed.

30 meters, 20 meters...

When they were within 20 meters, the archer Teng Ya instantly released an arrow.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!"

In an instant, the archer Teng Ya shot three arrows! His hands moved like a blur, releasing three arrows in quick succession.

Rapid shooting with a bow!

This was originally Zhou Yi's famous move, but now almost all the archers in the Xia Kingdom practiced it diligently.

At the moment the archer Teng Ya released his arrows, Dai Xiaqing let go of her twin blades, her body instantly changing direction, and her hands flashed out like lightning! Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Six shadows shot out from both hands in a blink.

At such close range, Dai Xiaqing managed to dodge only one arrow. Another arrow severed her left arm, and the third arrow pierced her chest.

On the other side, the archer Teng Ya's chest, throat, and head were all pierced by the flying knives. With no obstacles around, the archer Teng Ya could not avoid the six flying knives, and he instantly dissipated into a shadow.

"I still couldn't avoid it," Dai Xiaqing looked at the wound on her chest, her body turning ethereal. She watched Xu Jingming, who was fighting two enemy experts from a distance, "Senior, I've done my best."

Dai Xiaqing and the archer Teng Ya both dissipated and exited the battlefield.

"Wow!"

Cheng Zihao was also paying attention to this confrontation, and he showed a pleased expression.

Previously, Xu Jingming's side had two experts, while Cheng Zihao's side had three. A two-on-three fight... there was a small probability of a variable.

But now, with Xu Jingming injured and facing the combined attack of Zheng Bailong and Lei Wenqing, Cheng Zihao thought, "Xu Jingming can't turn the tide. This battle is completely under my control."

"Xu Jingming! After I kill Li Miaomiao, I'll deal with you, the great expert," Cheng Zihao laughed, and at the same time, he waved his hand and ordered, "A Yong, disable that little girl first."

Xiao Zeng, who had just reached the Silver Moon level, the weakest rookie in the team, was holding a bow and arrow. She had no confidence in hitting a high-speed moving target.

"Boss, I'll fight them to the end," Xiao Zeng said. Li Miaomiao had already jumped back a few steps, retreating until she was completely backed against the city wall.

"Boom."

The bodyguard A Yong charged forward first. Xiao Zeng immediately shot an arrow, but it hit behind A Yong. In a panic, she shot another arrow... still missing. Xiao Zeng was almost in tears.

"Get out of the way." A Yong charged forward, and with a thud, Xiao Zeng, despite dodging, was still thrown away by the shield.

"She's so weak," Cheng Zihao laughed, enjoying the anger in Li Miaomiao's eyes.

However, at this moment, there was someone on the battlefield who was even angrier!

Xu Jingming, holding a long spear, struggled to fend off the combined attack of Zheng Bailong and Lei Wenqing. The wound on his waist reduced his strength to 70%, making it extremely difficult to defend. But he felt a burning rage inside, growing stronger and stronger!

Back then, when they threatened him and Li Miaomiao, the influence of a giant internet corporation was immense. Li Miaomiao had woken up from nightmares multiple times, and he, a martial artist, could do nothing about it. After all, in the real world, in terms of physical strength, he couldn't even match the top bodyguard robots.

Like a defeated dog, they could only endure and return to their hometown. Li Miaomiao had always followed him.

Now, in the age of the virtual world, they still dared to provoke him?

"Xu Jingming! After I kill Li Miaomiao, I'll deal with you, the great expert."

Cheng Zihao's voice echoed in Xu Jingming's ears, impacting his heart.

"Thud."

Xiao Zeng, who was protecting Li Miaomiao, was thrown away by the shield. Li Miaomiao was left alone, leaning against the city wall, facing Cheng Zihao and the bodyguard A Yong.

Xu Jingming felt a burning heat in his chest, as if a fire was raging!

"Boom!"

The fire seemed to instantly ignite his entire body.

At this moment, he could clearly feel every part of his body becoming scorching hot, his muscles and bones becoming very clear, each muscle appearing in his mind, the blood flow in his body becoming very fast, rumbling like a river.

Xu Jingming's skin was covered in prominent veins, the blood flowing so fast that the veins were raised.

Sizzle!

The veins on Xu Jingming's forehead even burst, with blood splattering out, the blood flow being too fierce, breaking the capillaries.

His eyes were covered in a layer of blood.

At this moment, in Xu Jingming's eyes, the entire world turned blood red.

At this moment, Xu Jingming felt that the wound on his waist was insignificant, and all his muscles and bones were like soldiers, obediently following his commands. With a single order, all his strength erupted.

Strength, speed, everything erupted.

"Get out of my way!" Xu Jingming swept his long spear, as if to clear away all obstacles, sweeping the sky and earth. Lei Wenqing's twin blades were about to block and deflect, but at the moment of contact, he showed a look of terror.

"Thud—"

The long spear swept across his twin blades, crushing them, and then swept across Lei Wenqing's chest. In an instant, countless bones broke and muscles tore. Lei Wenqing was directly blasted into the air, a cloud of blood mist bursting from his body, and he spat out blood and internal organs, his body instantly dissipating into a shadow.

"What?" Zheng Bailong was stunned. Xu Jingming's long spear had swept Lei Wenqing into nothingness?

Xu Jingming's long spear turned, like a thunderbolt, striking Zheng Bailong.

"Clang~~~"

Zheng Bailong, as usual, immediately crossed his axes to block, but this time he felt a fierce force crushing him, forcing him to take a step back.

"Impossible!" Before Zheng Bailong could think more, Xu Jingming's spear strike turned into a thrust.

"Clang."

Zheng Bailong's axes formed a shield, blocking again. He had received national-level training, and his axe technique was already very perfect, but he was now struggling to block.

A powerful slash, a powerful thrust, a powerful collapse...

Xu Jingming was extremely fierce, launching a continuous attack. Zheng Bailong staggered, struggling to block: "What's wrong with him, is he possessed?"

At this moment, Xu Jingming was indeed not quite normal, his skin dark red, his eyes bloodshot! It didn't seem like he was calmly using techniques, but rather like a possessed eruption.

"Die!"

At this moment, Xu Jingming felt better than ever!

The fire burned in his chest, his body scorching hot, his blood boiling! His strength was completely under his control, wherever his mind went, his strength followed! Strength, speed... even his control of the battlefield situation was much stronger than before.

With his mind burning, his thoughts moved much faster.

"Thud."

On the sixth attack against Zheng Bailong, the spear pierced through the gap between his axes, entering Zheng Bailong's throat.

"No—" Zheng Bailong, holding his axes, blocked in vain, unable to believe that this spear had pierced his throat. His body turned ethereal and disappeared.

"What the hell?"

Cheng Zihao was shocked, originally waiting for Zheng Bailong and others to severely injure Xu Jingming so he could finish him off.

But what happened?

Boom!

Xu Jingming, holding his long spear, charged at full speed towards Cheng Zihao.

"This round is lost." Cheng Zihao immediately realized this. He and the bodyguard A Yong couldn't block the god-like Xu Jingming.

"Killing one is better than nothing." Cheng Zihao, holding a knife, charged towards Li Miaomiao.

Li Miaomiao thrust her sword, scaring Cheng Zihao into retreating.

"Her sword technique is so powerful, and she's still so tough despite her injuries." Cheng Zihao blinked, after all, he was only at the Silver Moon level, and Li Miaomiao's sword technique was giving him a headache.

"A Yong, hurry and help me." Cheng Zihao urged, "Let's kill Li Miaomiao together."

He originally wanted to act alone, but it seemed that he couldn't finish her off in two or three moves.

"Coming." The bodyguard A Yong, holding a shield and axe, charged towards Li Miaomiao.

"Protect the boss!" An arrow shot towards A Yong, from Kong Jie, who had just arrived.

"Kong Jie, it's up to you." Xiao Zeng, with broken bones and severe injuries, could no longer stand, but she shouted, giving Kong Jie mental encouragement.

"Don't worry." Kong Jie was very confident. She was not a rookie like Xiao Zeng but a Sun level expert, and she was not inferior to the bodyguard A Yong.

"Charge." A Yong helped block Kong Jie's arrows, and Cheng Zihao charged towards Li Miaomiao: "At least I'll kill one!"

"Boom!"

Cheng Zihao sensed something and turned around. A terrifying streak of light flew towards him, instantly piercing his body and pinning him to the city wall.

It was a long spear!

The spear pierced through Cheng Zihao's abdomen and into the city wall, leaving him hanging there.
