Chapter 382 - 188: Fight or Die (Part 1)
Qiu Yexuan had high standards, and the fiery competition did not ignite the cold silence in her heart. However, when Liang Xiaonuo drew "Shengping," she almost broke the armrest of her seat! This blade... isn’t it the saber that her teacher always had by her side?
"What’s wrong? You seem surprised," Zhu Mengtong asked curiously.
"That knife... doesn’t it look familiar?" Qiu Yexuan asked in a suppressed voice, "I’ve only seen it on two people, one is that mysterious Lieutenant General, and the other is my teacher..."
With this reminder, Zhu Mengtong also turned her gaze to the competition screen, watching for a long time and said, "It looks very similar at first glance, but there are differences... it’s not the same blade. Besides, I remember you said that the blade was buried with your teacher."
Qiu Yexuan tugged at the corners of her mouth and said, "Actually, I’m not even sure if the teacher is dead... I used to think she was buried in that explosion, but on second thought, the possibility of her surviving is not small. She always had that knife with her, the design is ordinary, but the material of the blade is very special, making it hard to replicate..."
"Are you saying that your teacher might not have died but survived and found the material to forge the blade? Made a replica of her knife?" Zhu Mengtong thought for a moment and then added, "Of course, it might also be a slight modification based on the original..."
Qiu Yexuan closed her eyes and said, "It’s possible she’s still alive, but... if it’s the former, replicating a blade based on the original indicates she might still be alive. But if the original blade was modified... hehe, she’s definitely dead."
Qiu Yexuan deeply understood how much that teacher valued the knife called "Yongping." She was so reluctant to use it that she wouldn’t allow anyone to alter it into another blade unless she was dead and no longer able to protect it...
"After the competition, I want to investigate the person holding the blade... maybe I can find a clue to my teacher from this," Qiu Yexuan said as she closed her eyes and leaned back to continue watching the competition. Zhu Mengtong secretly sighed, feeling she had really gotten onto a thief’s ship...
At this moment, Su Yanjing was gasping for breath, kneeling on one knee on the ground, one hand gripping a sword stabbed into the ground, barely keeping himself from falling.
Yet despite this, cracks had appeared on the blade of the Laser Particle Sword, making a sizzling sound from time to time, showing signs of collapsing at any moment. A large pool of blood stained the ground where he was, with wounds ranging from small to large on his body, but none fatal.
However, if the bleeding continues, Su Yanjing will soon be judged to have died of excessive blood loss by the virtual network.
Liang Xiaonuo held Shengping, the blade clean and bright, with strands of fresh blood sliding down along the blade, gathering at the tip before dripping off. The places where the blood passed remained clear and cold, untouched by any stain of blood.
"You’ve lost..." Liang Xiaonuo declared the result and then frowned, saying, "But I consider it an undeserving victory... there’s less than an hour left until the competition ends, let’s wait here for the results. Do you need any bandaging?"
Su Yanjing caught his breath, opened the map, and his heart sank. The blue dots on the map had dwindled significantly, many parts of the map only showed a dozen or so blue dots, while surrounded by thirty or forty red dots!
On the large map, there were still one hundred and thirteen blue dots, and three hundred and seventy-six red dots! The battle situation was clearly unfavorable for their side.
"You seem to feel regret..." Liang Xiaonuo flicked the blade, shaking off the last of the blood, then put the sword back into its scabbard and wrapped it again with a cloth, "But actually, your team’s achievement has already exceeded many people’s expectations..."
Their team was one of the top three of Augustus, but in the end, they were pushed this far by a team cobbled together by the Xilena First Affiliated School, with two-thirds of their members lost!
Of course, most were killed during the skirmishes between the two sides... it was because Su Jiameng, this shameless Commander, had such strong resource utilization that Xilena’s side had all the advantages from the start. Ultimately, it was Augustus’s people who underestimated the opponent and didn’t take it seriously enough, which led to such losses.
"What we want is victory..." Su Yanjing’s Laser Particle Sword eventually shattered, the blade disappearing, leaving only a hilt, "This result is not unexpected... only by securing victory will it truly be unexpected!"
Liang Xiaonuo tilted her head, a trace of smile on her spirited face, "It’s good for young people to be motivated, but... the ’king’ in our team, he’s no ordinary person, and to win... the chances are too slim."
"Our Commander isn’t normal either..." Su Yanjing thought for a moment and gave a description, "She’s an alien!"
The "alien" in Su Yanjing’s words was now facing the most embarrassing battle in this life after being reborn, for the first time being forced to this point by an opponent other than the Insect Race! In contrast to her embarrassment, Gu Ningyi seemed calm and collected.
"Heh..." Su Jiameng clenched her hand, beads of sweat covered her forehead, and her clothes were soaked with sweat. Her once excellent vision now slightly blurry from overuse, "I was really careless..."
Ghost Shadow was, after all, a mecha pursuing assassination, not suitable for frontal combat. Now encountering someone of equal power, Su Jiameng’s awkwardness was imaginable. However... she was someone whose strong was equal to the strength of her opponent, even though mentally exhausted, this rare fatigue awakened all the bloodthirst and battle intent deep in her heart!
The Laser Longsword clashed again, the sparking flames reflected in her eyes, and vaguely, she seemed to hear the words of a mentor who treated her like a daughter, "No matter where you are, whatever identity you have, you are always an Alliance warrior, fight or die! Never retreat!" (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, we welcome your votes and monthly tickets on Qidian.com, your support is my greatest motivation.
