Chapter 622: Duel
The moment Flame Beast died, the situation on the battlefield changed in an instant. Little Shengsheng wanted to ambush the Rag Queen, whom she saw as the biggest threat, but just as she was about to make her move, the Rag Queen’s figure was nowhere to be found.
At the same time, Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee, Dominate the Universe, and Daddy Universe Strongest aggressively pounced towards Little Shengsheng.
Little Shengsheng frowned, undistracted. Her teammates nearby, seeing that their Captain was in trouble, immediately wanted to come to her aid, but at that moment, they were intercepted by other teammates led by Little Qing...
Elsewhere—
Ji You had been on guard against Little Shengsheng’s malicious intentions towards her, how could she have not been prepared? While engaged in the intense battle with Flame Beast, she pulled Sheng Qingyan aside, hiding a few seconds in advance.
Just as Little Shengsheng made her move, Ji You and Sheng Qingyan’s target was straight on Ma Dashuai!
Ma Dashuai’s target was Shen Changqing. Unfortunately, before he could even open fire, a particle cannon shot diagonally across the sky, heading straight for his forehead.
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
In an instant, dozens of shells targeted Ma Dashuai’s cockpit, energy system, weapon system...
Even Ma Dashuai, a top-notch operator, didn’t have a foolproof escape strategy during this fleeting moment under the dense and ferocious bombardment...
Then—
Boom—
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Ma Dashuai’s mecha exploded.
Just before his death, Ma Dashuai managed to blurt out two words: "Damn it!"
Beast!
Who is this!
Who killed me?
Ma Dashuai only wished he could rush back into the arena and find the treacherous person who had murdered him.
...
Allies turned deadly enemies; the scene changed too quickly, even the audience in the stands, munching on melon seeds, were stupefied for a moment:
Audience A: "Damn!!! Damn!!! Damn!!! All three teams are ruthless, decisively killing the enemy team! So resolute! But clearly, Ma Dashuai’s team seems a bit more foolish."
Audience B: "Ma Dashuai isn’t foolish; he’s just stupid and unlucky. It was the Rag Queen and Little Cutie who ambushed him. These two are among the most shameless and cunning of this tournament."
Audience C: "Didn’t you see Little Qing Team holding a secret meeting before they teamed up to kill Flame Beast? Cough cough... Although we didn’t know the content of the meeting at the time, looking at the results now, they must have decided from the beginning to take out the Captains of the other two teams. Look, those surrounding Little Shengsheng are Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee, Dominate the Universe, and Daddy Universe Strongest. Using three powerful individuals shows how wary they were of Little Shengsheng and also how cautious yet bold they are! Cautious because they sent out all three to snipe Little Shengsheng. Bold because if they succeed, these three who engaged in killing their kind are bound to have their health points deducted by the system. They obviously lost a considerable amount of health fighting Flame Beast just now; if their health points are deducted to zero, won’t they be directly eliminated from the arena?"
Audience D: "Damn! There’s such a thing? Little Qing Team is so treacherous! Way too treacherous! They are convinced that as long as the Captains Ma Dashuai and Little Shengsheng are eliminated, even without Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee’s three players, they can deal with the remaining members of the other two teams?"
...
Having successfully killed Ma Dashuai, Ji You turned to Sheng Qingyan and asked, "Spicy Eye, how much health do you have left?"
Sheng Qingyan retracted the smoking cannon barrel, her calm and composed face suddenly breaking into a highly animated expression, saying, "I can’t go on, I have only 15 points left, oh~ A mere breeze might be the end of me, oh~. So you must protect me, oh~."
Hearing this, Ji You instantly felt relieved, saying, "That’s quite a lot; you won’t die."
After saying that, she immediately turned around and leaped out a few hundred meters. As she jumped into the air, she fired a shot towards a certain direction, and with a bang, one of Ma Dashuai’s Team’s brittle members was immediately eliminated from the arena.
Sheng Qingyan: "..."
Sheng Qingyan hurriedly chased after: "Poor dead, how much health do you have? Didn’t we agree that you would protect me, oh?"
Ji You pretended not to hear and her mecha darted off again, firing a shot and reaping another fragile member of Ma Dashuai’s Team.
Seeing this from the audience, Ma Dashuai had cursed the entire lineage of Rag Queen in his heart, "F*ck, you just bully my teammates, can’t you pick on someone else?"
But!!!
It seemed as if Ji You had set her sights solely on Ma Dashuai’s Team. This time, concerned about her hit points, she didn’t dare to directly take out the few remaining teammates of Ma Dashuai. Instead, at the height of the three-way battle, she suddenly broke away from the fray and fled.
Ma Dashuai: "..."
Audience: "..."
Is this... deserting the battlefield?
Fending for oneself alone?
As soon as Ji You left the battlefield, Sheng Qingyan didn’t utter another word and immediately followed her, which suddenly intensified the pressure facing Little Qing Team. Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, and Yue Qiyuan, three S-ranked fighters, coordinated with each other to entangle with Little Shengsheng. But Little Shengsheng was so terrifying that even when fighting one against three, she didn’t completely fall into a disadvantage.
second.
seconds.
seconds.
...
The audience, having seen Rag Queen and Little Cutie run away, suddenly lost interest in what they were doing and all gaped, eyes wide, watching Little Shengsheng exchanging blows with the three opponents...
Finally—
Boom, boom, boom—
Little Shengsheng, trapped and desperate, clenched her teeth and self-destructed her mecha, shouting with Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee, "Retreat!"
But it was too late.
In the end, Dominate the Universe, being slightly weaker in Physical Strength, couldn’t dodge in time and was swept up into the vortex of the explosion, dragging along Lou, who was nearby, as well.
Audience: "..."
Audience A: "Little Shengsheng is ruthless. With that move, she took two enemies with her, lightening the load for her teammates."
Audience B: "It’s no wonder Little Shengsheng can win first place in the solo competitions, living up to her reputation!"
Audience C: "But Little Shengsheng is still eliminated, so now it’s uncertain which team will emerge victorious."
Audience D: "After all is said and done, Little Qing Team is sly, they actually sent three of their strongest to attack Little Shengsheng alone. It’s clear they’re bullying with numbers."
...
Just as the audience was murmuring and lamenting Little Shengsheng’s elimination, the arena where the chaotic battle was unfolding suddenly erupted with commotion. Out of nowhere, a horde of Long-haired Pigs swarmed in.
"Run!"
"Run!"
"Ah, a pack of pigs are charging in!"
Rag Queen and Little Cutie ran towards the chaos on the battlefield while behind them, a whole string of Long-haired Pigs followed. These pigs, each fat and sturdy, could trample a swath of survivors with just a lift of their feet.
Therefore—
The completely unprepared Little Shengsheng Team and Ma Dashuai’s Team, already fragile from fighting amongst themselves, were trampled to nothing by this group of rampaging Long-haired Pigs in the blink of an eye.
Audience: "..."
