Chapter 626: Invincible Iron Fist
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The determination of the top 6 players had now concluded. The Invincible Continent’s standing remained uncontested, as three of their players had managed to progress forward. Furthermore, the brackets for the remaining 6 players had also been announced.
Dark Wing was up against Night Moon.
Unending Unmatched was up against Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.
Fengxi was up against Ah Ye, the yellow-robed Priest.
However, the three brackets were not immediately fought. Instead, it was set for the following day to allow players to analyze the match results. Additionally, the postponement also served to provide the participants with enough preparation time to face their opponents.
Although Brother Windcloud Nine had lost, he was still in a pretty good mood. Just as he had mentioned, he was already prepared to lose, although, he had not expected to fight Li Yi.
Brother Windcloud Nine offered to lend all his top-notch equipment to Unending Unmatched, including Blazing Judgment.
However, Unending Unmatched courteously refused. “Brother Nine, you don’t have to.”
“If I tell you to take something, you take it. I don’t want to see you losing tomorrow.”
“Hoho, much obliged then.”
Brother Windcloud Nine scanned his surroundings. “Where’s Dark Wing? Did he go somewhere?”
“The Guild Master returned to the capital immediately after the tournament ended. He says that he needed to complete his daily quests...” Unending Unmatched scratched his head, with a look of confusion.
Brother Windcloud Nine was caught off guard. “Completing dailies?”
“That punk’s pretty daring, huh. While others are focusing on improving themselves, he decides to carry out a quest instead...”
Sister Windcloud Nine trotted over. “Hubby, I want to do a quest as well.”
Brother Windcloud Nine shot her a glare. “Stand in the corner. The next time I tell you not to speak, I’d better not hear you yapping off, you hear me?”
Sister Windcloud Nine covered her mouth with her hands and obediently stood in a corner.
Unending Unmatched flashed a thumbs-up. “What an alpha.”
...
Li Yi was indeed carrying out a quest. His participation in the Brawl King Tournament had not impacted his quest-carrying-out mood in the least. As such, the first thing he did once the tournament was over, was to teleport back to the capital and search for quests to carry out.
“The wretched Giant Ants have decimated my tribesman. Brave hero, please proceed to the Giant Ant Plains to slay the Queen Ant. If you’re able to bring me its fang, I... I’ll definitely repay you.”
Ding!
[Successfully accepted the quest, Slay the Queen Ant.]
Li Yi received the quest from a vagrant near the Celestial Capital. Upon receiving it, Li Yi immediately Teleported to the Giant Ant Plains.
Since the Giant Ant Plains spawned monsters at a breakneck rate, many players chose the plain as a leveling spot. As such, even after wandering around the plain for almost half a day on his Holy Light Warhorse, Li Yi still did not find any traces of the Queen Ant.
“Was she killed?”
Li Yi was prepared to abandon the quest when he heard someone shouting from a distance.
“Coordinates: 54441111... Kill the foreigner!”
“Someone from another nation is trying to steal our boss! Brothers, come quick!”
“Assemble, quickly! We must dispose of the foreigners!”
A bunch of players cried out.
Within King of Pantheon, the term ‘foreigner’ was used to address players from opposing camps. Since the Giant Ant Plains was quite some distance away from the Abyssal Canyon Crevice, spotting a ‘foreigner’ was quite a rare sight.
The players who were grinding levels in the plains roared as they headed over to the location. Since killing ‘foreigners’ was related to their nation’s glory, the Invincible Continent’s players were extremely eager to participate.
Li Yi headed over as well. He was only doing so for his amusement. Naturally, if the enemy proved too much of a threat, he would join in the fray as well.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground shook viciously as the players charged ahead while roaring. However, before they had managed to land a hit on the ‘foreigner’, they were put down one after another...
At that moment, a colossal Queen Ant, with a frame larger than a truck, began to beat its wings. Its frame shook along with the vibrations of the ground, and its HP continued to drop. It was not long before it would perish...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Li Yi, who was standing on the ground, was losing HP as the ground shook as well.
He quickly summoned his ‘flying soul mount’ and approached the Queen Ant from the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground continued to quake relentlessly, and half of the Invincible Continent’s players who were rushing over had been wiped out. Behind the Queen Ant, there was a heroic-looking female masked Warrior, who ruthlessly slammed her fists into the ground.
The root of the earthquake and culprit responsible for quaking numerous Invincible Continent players to death was the foreign female Warrior!
The Queen Ant only had a million or so HP remaining, and every time the female Warrior slammed her fist down, a damage of over 30,000 popped out above the Queen Ant’s head. Unless somebody stopped her, the Queen Ant would surely be hers for the taking.
At first sight of the female masked Warrior, Li Yi’s heart started to beat fervently.
He had no intentions of flirting with the female Warrior, nor did he have any contact with her in his past life. To Li Yi, the woman before him was a familiar stranger.
The first emotion that came to his mind was that of pure shock.
After all, the beast of a woman before him was none other than the boss of the Fluttering Snow Alliance, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut!
Back in Li Yi’s past life, she was ranked third in the God Wars. She was the top seed, and she was also the strongest female player.
“Why is she here?”
While Li Yi was initially shocked to see her, not long after, he was unable to suppress his excitement and he flew over to her on his flying soul mount.
To Li Yi, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, who currently stood before him, was more attractive than the Brawl King Tournament he was currently competing in.
At that instant, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut spotted Li Yi and she stopped slamming her fists. She lifted her head up and looked towards him.
Li Yi gave a faint smile as he fired an arrow at her.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut did not bother to dodge. Instead, she swung her fist and smashed the arrow to smithereens.
“Ka-cha!”
A deep rift opened in mid-air, lasting for around 5 seconds before it gradually vanished.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was indeed a Warrior, but the path she took was extremely erratic as no one knew what skills she invested in. Some claimed that she was a Weapon Warrior, as she was able to use Greatsword Mastery; whereas some claimed that she was an Armored Warrior, as she was able to use Impregnable Fortress to reduce her damage taken.
Some had even gone as far to claim that she was a Violent Warrior, as there were a scarce few who had seen her using Fury Explosion before. Simply put, there were all sorts of speculation surrounding her.
Besides that, the weapon she wielded was also unique. It was the weapon with the shortest range within King of Pantheon, a fist weapon.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut opened her mouth, “Guild Master Dark Wing, aren’t you supposed to be competing in the Brawl King Tournament? Why do you have so much time that you would steal my boss kill?”
Her voice was soothing as it was gentle and light; a stark contrast to the tough warrior-like appearance.
Li Yi broke out in laughter. “Me? Steal your boss? Guild Master Purple Water Chestnut, need I remind you that this is the Invincible Continent?”
The moment Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut heard Li Yi’s words; she froze. She did not think that Li Yi was able to identify her.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut had always been a mysterious entity, and during Li Yi’s seven years of playing Pantheon in his past life, she heard rumors about her nearly every day.
In addition to her prowess, she was as much of a beauty as she was a beast. As such, she had been a popular topic of discussion back in his past life.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut raised a brow. “If Guild Master Dark Wing wishes to contest my kill, so be it.”
“Shag...shag...shag...”
The Queen Ant which was originally stuck in a ‘Quaked’ state was suddenly filled with renewed vigor as Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut suddenly stopped attacking. With breakneck speed, it immediately dug its way into the ground.
‘It wants to escape!’
“Boom!” Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut brought her fist down, sending the Queen Ant barreling out from the ground. That smash of hers represented her refusal to yield the boss to Li Yi.
In truth, Li Yi was not really interested in stealing Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s boss. He was simply using it as an excuse to fight her.
His current strength was undoubtedly much greater than in his previous life. He remembered being taken down by a single punch back then. However, besides that match, Li Yi had never crossed swords with Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut.
Li Yi slapped on a golden ‘Hunt Target’ mark onto Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut. Following that, he began firing at her.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut unleashed a flurry of punches, smashing all of Li Yi’s arrows to pieces.
“Overlord Arrow!”
An Overlord Arrow that was imbued with Inextinguishable Flames hurtled over. This time, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut did not intercept it. Instead, she rolled away, deftly dodging the arrow.
Her movements were extremely quick, and the speed of her fists was also shocking.
“God Mode!”
The Hunter Goddess appeared, and she grabbed Li Yi from behind.
“Swoop—”
Wings spread out from behind, and Li Yi instantly appeared before Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut with his bow drawn and ready.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Three Overlord Arrows were fired simultaneously.
All escape paths, whether it was front, back, or the sides had been sealed shut. Even if Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut doubled her speed, there was no way to dodge all the Overlord Arrows.
“Open!”
Just as the Overlord Arrows were able to hit her, she bellowed, emitting a barrier around her that deflected all the Overlord Arrows away.
From its appearance, the skill she used seemed a lot like Fury Explosion. However, its duration was extremely short, and there was no boiling blood aura that accompanied the barrier signifying Fury Explosion had been used. As such, it was obvious that the skill used was not Fury Explosion.
Overlord Arrow can be blocked? Li Yi stood in a daze. At that instant, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut brought both her hands behind her and after 1 second of channeling, she kicked her legs back and launched forward.
A gleaming white net expanded instantaneously, grabbing Li Yi who was drifting in the air...
It was an insanely powerful grab skill, and its effects were similar to the Dark Paladins’ Death’s Grasp. However, what set them apart was that this skill had a wide grabbing area. It expanded in a fan shape, and its attack range was over 30 yards. Furthermore, once it caught something, its target could no longer use any skills, not even normal attacks. It was an extremely oppressive skill.
As Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut dragged back her net, his flying soul mount was forcefully dismissed, and Li Yi was unable to move a single muscle within the net.
An iron fist came hurtling towards Li Yi...
...
It was now 12 am midnight. Li Yi had just logged out when he noticed that Jiaojiao had yet to return home. She was wrapped snugly within her blanket with her shirt off. Her eyes were squinted like a little kitten’s, and Li Yi had no clue whether she was asleep or not.
Li Yi extended his hand and nudged her.
No response.
“Lil Chili, it’s time for a morning kiss.”
“Pfftt~” Jiaojiao could not help but laugh out, and she patted Li Yi as she did so.
“Wouldn’t your mother come looking for you, since you’re not staying home tonight?” said Li Yi as he took off his clothes.
“Nah, I’ve already told her that I’m sleeping with Qianqian tonight.”
“My Jiaojiao’s pretty smart,” exclaimed Li Yi.
Jiaojiao angrily raised her little fist. “Belittle me one more time and I’ll leave. I’ll no longer care for you if that happens.”
“I’m not belittling you. As long as it belongs to you, I have no qualms, be it big or small.”
“Uhuu...”
Li Yi lunged forward, pressing Jiaojiao down and covered Jiaojiao’s mouth with his own. He then stripped off Jiaojiao’s blanket...
