Chapter 181 The Battle Reaches its Peak, All Forces Prepare for Battle!

Su Ze's calm voice spread clearly across the entire battlefield.

Every word was like a crisp slap, viciously striking Liao Long's face.

"Zhuang Yi?! imperial command flag?!"

Liao Long's head buzzed as he stared fixedly at Su Ze, his bloodshot crimson eyes filled with resentment.

"You think you've won?!"

Before his voice even faded, he had already lunged forward!

"Aura, activate!!"

In the next moment, a cold system notification exploded in his mind!

[Ding! Taoyuan Residential Area buff aura—[Survival of the Fittest] has been activated!]

[Effect: The fewer surviving players in the area, the higher the all-attribute boost for the remaining players! Currently, for every 100 deaths, remaining players receive a 0.1% increase in all attributes!]

[Current death count in the area: 50,012! Remaining players belonging to Taoyuan receive a 50% increase in all attributes! Duration: Half an hour!]

Boom!!!

After losing the two hundred points from "Enfeoffment," his basic combat power had only been just over two hundred, but at this moment, it surged by fifty percent!

Three hundred and ten points!

Liao Long's figure turned into a blurry black shadow.

The greatsword in his hand let out a piercing screech, sweeping toward Su Ze's neck at a speed that completely exceeded the limits of his reaction time!

Too fast!

Alarm bells rang in Su Ze's heart. Although he had been on guard against his opponent's desperation, he hadn't expected the guy to be hiding such a trump card!

He exerted sudden force through his feet, leaping backward from the top of the ten-meter-high school gate without hesitation!

Almost at the same instant his body merged into the Jinghai University player camp!

[Ding! Detected player 'Su Ze' has returned to the team!]

[Jinghai University buff aura—[Unity is Strength] has been activated!]

[All participants, all-attribute boost of 31.648%!]

Within Su Ze's body, a majestic power emerged out of thin air!

His combat power, which had reached 202 points due to [Burst], soared again, instantly breaking through to 264 points!

However, it wasn't enough!

Liao Long's figure followed like a shadow. That cold-glinting greatsword was still locked onto his throat, the blade less than half a meter from his skin!

The shadow of death loomed over him!

Su Ze's pupils shrank suddenly. Without any hesitation, a thought roared frantically in his mind!

"Add 20 attribute points to speed!"

In an instant, his accumulated 35 free attributes plummeted to 15 points.

Buzz—!

A warm current instantly spread through his entire body. Su Ze felt his body become lighter than ever before, and the flow of time in the world seemed to slow down slightly at that moment!

His body in mid-air twisted strangely at an angle that defied the laws of physics!

"Shua!"

That lethal blade almost grazed the skin of his neck, leaving a trail of goosebumps!

A close shave!

Su Ze landed on his feet without the slightest pause.

He exerted sudden force through his waist, spinning like a top as he thrust out the "silver dragon" spear in his hand!

A back-turning spear strike!

"Hmm?!"

Liao Long's strike missed, and a look of astonishment flashed across his face.

He completely hadn't expected Su Ze to evade his killing blow.

But his combat experience was incredibly rich; he reacted instantly, sweeping his greatsword to block behind him!

Clang!!!

The spear tip and the blade collided violently, exploding in a circle of blinding sparks!

Su Ze felt an incredibly brutal force travel up the spear, making his hand go slightly numb and causing him to slide back several meters uncontrollably.

And Liao Long didn't fare much better either; his figure stumbled, and he only just managed to steady himself.

The difference in their levels was immediately apparent.

Su Ze's speed was faster and more erratic!

But Liao Long's strength was still slightly higher than Su Ze's!

It seemed his attribute focus was on strength and Stamina.

Thus, although Su Ze had temporarily reached a basic combat power of 317, he didn't hold the upper hand.

"Interesting!"

Liao Long gave a cruel laugh and stopped holding back.

He brandished the Rare-grade Greatsword with powerful sweeps, unleashing a Rare-grade Blade Technique [Mountain Splitter Stone Cutter]. The strike was heavy and fierce, as if it would cleave the space ahead in two!

Su Ze's eyes narrowed; unwilling to be outdone, he executed the intermediate spear technique [Armor Piercing Strike] with full force!

The spear shot out like a dragon!

Boom!!!

Spear tip against blade edge!

The purest strength and skill collided violently!

The concrete ground beneath their feet could no longer withstand the terrifying force; centering on them, it cracked inch by inch, with spiderweb-like fissures spreading frantically!

Under the terrifying impact, both let out a muffled groan and each retreated violently!

Although Su Ze retreated a few more steps, his movements were light, so there wasn't much of a difference.

One could say they were evenly matched!

This scene completely stunned everyone present.

Whether it was the thirty thousand players of Jinghai University or the remaining dozens of elites and core high-level members of Taoyuan Residential Area,

they could only see two figures moving so fast they were blurry, constantly colliding in the field, with every clash erupting in deafening roars and blinding sparks.

This level of combat had completely exceeded their scope of understanding!

"Hahaha! Good! Very good!"

Liao Long forced Su Ze back with a strike and began to laugh maniacally like a madman.

"You are indeed strong! Stronger than I imagined! But do you think you can win against me like this?!"

His gaze passed over Su Ze, sweeping across the group of Jinghai University players standing ready behind him, the cruel grin on his face becoming even more savage.

"So what if you and I are evenly matched? Look at that group of school kids behind you! Then look at my people!"

"The elites of my Taoyuan Residential Area generally have a basic combat power between 55 and 60 points! With the aura's blessing, the lowest is now 83 points!"

"As for my five core subordinates, their basic combat power is 90 points, and now... it's 135 points!"

"What do you have to fight against me?!"

Liao Long's voice was like rolling thunder, clearly entering the ears of every Jinghai University player.

The faces of Wang Meng, Xu Feng, and others instantly became incredibly unsightly.

Although their strength had surged under the dual blessings of [Unity is Strength] and the [generals altar], even the strongest, Wang Meng, only barely reached 66 combat power.

Facing the opponent's 83-point elites, they might still be able to barely fight using numbers and coordination.

But those five core high-level members with combat power as high as 135 points...

that was simply an insurmountable chasm!

Seeing the fear appearing on the faces of the Jinghai University crowd, Liao Long's smile became even more hideous as he raised his greatsword high and let out an earth-shaking roar.

"Boys! Kill them all for me!!!"

"Roar!"

On the Taoyuan Residential Area side, those dozens of elites and five core high-level members roared in unison, bloodthirsty light bursting from their eyes as terrifying killing intent converged into a torrent, crushing toward the Jinghai University camp!

The great battle was on the verge of breaking out!

Su Ze watched the enemies charging toward them, then glanced at the solemn-faced Wang Meng and others beside him, his eyes slowly narrowing.

"I've long been prepared..."

"Jiang Yuwan, take full command. Everyone belonging to Jinghai, engage in battle!!"
