105: Prey? Or a trap?
The Tianting guild channel, unlike the oppressive and murderous atmosphere over at the Great Qin Empire, was currently a sea of joy.
Miao Shou Sheng Hua: “Boss, you’re amazing (voice cracking)!!! I’ve never fought such a wealthy battle in my life! For that one instant, my points shot up so fast, I thought the system had glitched!”
It turned out that when Judgment Sky Eye instantly killed a Boss, a portion of its points would be distributed to members who provided aura buffs, based on their contribution.
Miao Shou Sheng Hua and Gourmet Supplier, as the biggest “atmosphere creators,” truly got a big share of the spoils.
Gourmet Supplier had even begun planning a celebratory feast: “Boss, when this wave is over, I’ll prepare a full dragon feast for you! I noticed the meat quality of those Abyssal Dreadclaw Monsters earlier was excellent, top-tier ingredients! Steamed dragon claws, braised dragon ribs, and then a pot of Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup brewed with dragon bones! I guarantee you’ll be full of vigor and vitality after drinking it!”
Mad Blade also rarely surfaced, sending a laughing emoji: “Refreshing! It’s damn refreshing! I can just imagine what kind of face First Emperor, that old man, is making right now! He’s probably green with rage!”
Sword Immortal of Wine let out a burp: “Tsk, now there’s a good show to watch. Wine won tastes even more fragrant.”
Even Yi, who was usually a man of few words, sent two words: “Beautiful.”
The channel was filled with joyful air, everyone immersed in the shock and happiness brought by that earth-shattering blow. Except for two people.
One of them was Cicada Clothes.
She stood beneath the arrow tower, and while her exquisite face still bore a perfect smile, only she knew that her back was already drenched in a fine layer of cold sweat.
The pressure and fear brought by that gaze were something she had never experienced before.
She quickly composed herself, and without a change in expression, sent out the energy fluctuations when Judgment Sky Eye activated, its target locking method, and the terrifying damage data through an extremely secret channel.
After doing all this, she looked at the cheers of everyone in the channel, but a strange chill surged in her heart.
Was this Tianting truly just a bunch of rabble?
Was this Heaven's Choice truly just lucky, having obtained a powerful fortuitous encounter?
For the first time, she felt a trace of doubt about First Emperor’s judgment.
And the other person was the creator of this carnival—Lin Feng.
He leaned on the throne, his fingers gently tapping the armrest, without a trace of joy on his face.
His gaze calmly swept across the scoreboard, over the fervent praises in the World Channel, and finally, landed on the silent IDs of the Great Qin Empire.
Even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit.
What’s more, his opponent was a trueHero (tycoon/hero).
Lin Feng never believed that First Emperor would give up so easily. In his opinion, those grandiloquent remarks were merely the calm before the storm.
The other side must be preparing something.
“Alright, don’t celebrate too early.”
Lin Feng finally spoke in the channel, like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing everyone’s fervor.
“The game has only just begun.”
Everyone was stunned, and Miao Shou Sheng Hua cautiously asked: “Boss, do you mean… Great Qin still has a trump card?”
Lin Feng did not answer.
His gaze was locked on a new wave of demonic creatures surging from the horizon.
This wave, the number of demonic creatures was even larger, and the proportion of elite-level units had clearly increased.
Five powerful Boss-level units once again appeared on the battlefield, like five moving mountains, exuding a desperate aura.
They’re here.
The corners of Lin Feng’s mouth curved slightly.
He did not rush to act, but quietly observed.
He was waiting.
Waiting for the other side to make the first move.
The eyes of the entire world once again focused here.
Everyone wanted to know if Heaven's Choice could replicate the miracle from before.
And the members of the Great Qin Empire held their breath even more, their skills already charged and ready to unleash.
“Move!”
On Xianyang Plain, Bai Qi, the General’s cold voice echoed in the guild channel.
Almost at the same time, in Tianting’s territory.
That sleeping giant eye opened again!
Buzz—!
Invisible pressure descended once more, and five slender beams of death rays precisely locked onto the five new Boss-level demonic creatures!
Damage numbers began to frantically jump above their heads!
-100!
-500!
-1200!
…
“Now!”
On the Great Qin Empire’s front line, Bai Qi, the General, transformed into a Blood Slaughter Guard, slammed his giant axe into the ground!
“Profound Meaning · Lotus Black Hole!”
Boom!
On the battlefield, beneath a Hellfire Demon that was continuously being irradiated by the death ray, space suddenly twisted, and a blood-red black hole exuding endless suction appeared out of thin air!
That Hellfire Demon’s health had just dropped to about 35% at this moment.
It let out an unwilling roar, but its massive body was uncontrollably and slowly dragged towards the center of the black hole by that terrifying suction!
Its health bar was still rapidly decreasing under Judgment Eye of Heaven’s attack.
30%…
25%…
22%…
The instant its health dropped below 20%!
Pfft!
Like a ripe tomato being crushed, that arrogant Hellfire Demon was completely swallowed and killed by the black hole before it could even let out a final wail!
[System Announcement: Great Qin · Bai Qi, the General killed Hellfire Demon (Boss), gaining 315,000 points!]
The World Channel instantly exploded!
White Whore in the Waves: “Holy crap!!! Stealing kills! This is blatant kill-stealing!”
One Punch, One Sobbing Monster: “What’s happening? What was that skill just now? An instant kill?!”
I Just Want to Farm: “I think I understand… Bai Qi, the General was waiting for Heaven's Choice to cripple the Boss, and then he used an execute skill to take the kill! Too insidious!”
Within the Tianting channel, the atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point.
Mad Blade was the first to explode in rage: “Damn it! Despicable and shameless! These bastards, if they can’t win fair and square, they resort to dirty tricks!”
Gourmet Supplier also grew anxious: “Boss, what do we do? His move is too disgusting, specifically targeting our prey!”
However, this was just the beginning.
On the battlefield, Bai Qi, the General repeated the trick.
The second!
The third!
Three Bosses in a row, locked onto by Judgment Sky Eye, were precisely “confiscated” by that eerie blood-red black hole the moment their health was about to bottom out!
On the scoreboard, Great Qin · Bai Qi, the General’s points were rapidly catching up at a terrifying speed!
With one side gaining and the other losing, the gap between them was visibly shrinking.
The public opinion in the World Channel also began to quietly shift.
“Hahaha, brilliant! This is truly a battle of immortals!”
“This is called strategy! What do you mean insidious? Don’t you know all’s fair in war?”
“Heaven's Choice is in trouble now, his attacks are just setting up kills for others, how can he fight like this?”
On Xianyang Plain, First Emperor looked at the rapidly rising points, and that smile of reigning over the world finally reappeared on his face.
He picked up the freshly refilled wine glass from his attendant and, from a distance, raised it in a toast towards Tianting.
“Heaven's Choice, how will you respond?”
In Tianting’s territory, upon the throne.
Lin Feng looked at everything happening on the screen, his expression, far from anger, was instead increasingly… playful.
“Interesting.”
He finally uttered these two words.
“Predicting my target lock, then using an execute skill to steal kills, eh…”
“The strategy is not bad.”
“Too bad your imagination is still a bit too limited.”
He looked at the guild members who were indignant and even a little flustered by their side’s disadvantage, and calmly typed a line of text in the channel.
That composure and confidence, as if possessing magic, instantly calmed everyone’s emotions.
Heaven's Choice: “Everyone, watch closely.”
Heaven's Choice: “Next, I’ll teach them what it means to ‘lose more than you gain by trying to be clever’.”
