Chapter 1235 - Chapter 1235 Chapter 1235 High Ground

Chapter 1235: Chapter 1235: High Ground Chapter 1235: Chapter 1235: High Ground Li Yao’s sudden counterattack thoroughly stirred the emotions of the Earthlings, and upon seeing the half-orc choosing a cunning opportunity and angle for his attack, their hearts immediately leapt to their throats.

“I’ve been waiting for you.” Li Yao flipped his sickle in hand, and his eyes turned blue, marking the first time he used Titan’s Eye in reality. A flood of information rushed into his brain. The physical condition of the half-orc, even comparisons to his own body parts, appeared in his mind.

Li Yao’s spiritual power kept deducing and calculating, and in an instant, he found the simplest and best response.

The half-orc’s eyes flickered with a crafty gleam, having witnessed the ogre fall to the Reverse Wave, he directly chose a move that could not be countered by Reverse Wave. He was an old warrior who had been through countless real battles, with combat experience that was exceedingly rich. If Li Yao used Reverse Wave again, he was confident he would be able to change his attack to kill Li Yao.

Although Li Yao had only revealed one move, he understood that he could not possibly take down the opponent in a short time through normal combat; he had to use strategy.

However, Li Yao thought the same. Facing such an experienced veteran, he absolutely couldn’t entangle with the opponent, not just because there was another spellcaster nearby but also because he couldn’t afford any delay. If he were genuinely surrounded, he would be in big trouble. He had to fight quickly and decide the battle swiftly.

Click…

Li Yao combined his two single-handed sickles into one Giant Reaper again.

“Now is the moment.”

Li Yao’s body had become semi-transparent, his body flashing with Wind Thunder, he suddenly stepped forward, and just as suddenly blocked the opponent’s blade.

Ding!

The timing of the sickle was incredibly cunning, targeting the opponent’s weakest point of force. Accompanied by the vibration, the opponent’s move didn’t stop but faltered, and their figure stiffened for a split second.

Then the long handle of the sickle suddenly twisted, its end reaching the opponent’s legs. Li Yao exerted his strength violently, sweeping the long handle and knocking the half-orc to the ground.

Whoosh!

The gamers familiar with ancient gods suddenly stood up again.

Long-handle weapon counter-attack skill, Intimidating Strike!

It was also a skill point learned in the infinite instance. The principle of the long-handle weapon’s counter-attack skill was different from Reverse Wave. This sort of counter-attack seized the weakest point of the opponent’s force, momentarily parrying the attack with the long handle, and then capitalizing on the moment the opponent was stiff, the long handle struck like lightning at the lower body, tripping the opponent.

“Is this a game or reality?”

They suddenly had an unreal feeling. Many in the audience didn’t understand the so-called skills, but they saw Li Yao, with his comparatively frail figure, twice cleanly and efficiently take down his opponent.

Swish…

Without the slightest surprise, Li Yao’s sickle once again plunged into the opponent’s back.

Meteor Fall!

As Li Yao knocked down the half-orc, accompanied by the obscure chant of spells, a meteor suddenly plummeted down.

Boom…

Where Li Yao had been standing, a meteor crater now appeared, while the half-orc’s figure had long since vanished, leaving only the great sword that had turned fiery red stuck in the lava stone.

“Such a strong intent to kill,” Li Yao remarked, his figure appearing behind the spellcaster, while his sickle was already poised on the spellcaster’s neck.

“But it’s useless, just a piece of trash. Dead is dead,” the spellcaster said indifferently.

The stadium erupted as a group of half-orc tribe members suddenly stood up and roared in anger, but there was nothing they could do. It was a battle to the death, and the spellcasters’ attack was too ruthless.

It was clear they wanted to wipe out both the half-orcs and Li Yao in one fell swoop. Li Yao was unscathed, but the incapacitated half-orcs couldn’t even flee, let alone surrender, and they were dead before they had the chance to speak.

“So now, state your choice, you have three seconds as well,” Li Yao said.

“You really think you’ve won,” the spellcaster’s body suddenly vanished.

“Stubborn fool,” Li Yao suddenly hurled the sickle in his hand.

Pfft…

The spellcaster’s figure had just appeared in another spot when it was impaled by the sickle, pinning her directly against a large tree.

The magic shield on the spellcaster’s body had done nothing to stop the attack; she violently spat out a mouthful of blood, and with difficulty said, “I surrender.”

“What a waste,” Li Yao said as he strode forward and violently pulled out the sickle.

The spellcaster collapsed to the ground and poured a green potion over herself, just as the teleportation light began to appear: “You’re called Prairie Fire in the ancient god’s realm, right? I will remember you.”

Li Yao gave a noncommittal nod, slung the sickle over his back, and quickly left the area with a tap of his toes.

After that, Li Yao encountered several groups, some alone and some in twos or threes. Li Yao fought his way through, never delivering a killing blow, but instead severely injuring the opponent.

However, unbeknownst to Li Yao, he had completely set the stadium, set the Earthlings, ablaze with his actions.

All the Earthling contestants were targets of the hunt, usually being gruesomely eliminated.

Scorpio had relied on her strong stealth abilities, waiting until others were nearly done fighting before seizing the opportunity to determine the victor.

Azure Dragon had been continuously hunted, and after his mecha was severely damaged, he too found a strategically advantageous terrain. Then, at the crucial moment, he settled the contest with powerful firepower. But his mecha was also nearly wrecked, and had there been more enemies, he would have been doomed. Although he progressed, it left the Earthlings feeling extremely frustrated.

Li Yao’s proactive hunting was a first, and each time his elimination was clean and efficient, no alien ever lasted more than three moves against him.

In less than a quarter of an hour, he had eliminated more than ten people.

“He’s really in trouble now, a thief has spotted his recent fight and revealed his position. Everyone is converging towards him,” a general watching the battle frowned. “He’s too conspicuous. He can handle two or three opponents with his skills, but what about more?”

The middle-aged man shook his head slightly: “Look at his eyes, always as cold as ice, clearly he is confident of his plan, perhaps there will be a surprise.”

“So his goal was this giant ancient tree, could it be…”

The crowd saw Li Yao approaching a huge tree. This ancient tree was incredibly tall, undoubtedly one of the commanding heights within the Stone Forest.

“Though not the best position, it’ll have to do,” Li Yao took a deep breath. Mechas could fly, but energy consumption, especially combined with intense combat, could not be sustained. Besides, the wings he had in the game only allowed him to fly for a short time.

Wings of Justice unfolded behind Li Yao, and the Touch of Darkness anchored him firmly at the top of the tree.

Li Yao nodded in satisfaction. From here, he could at least overlook a third of the Stone Forest arena.

No one knew what Li Yao was planning to do. If it was for the view, his Firehawk was the best scout, with no need for him to climb the tree himself. The problem now was that Li Yao, perched on the tree, was completely exposed.

As long as anyone could see the treetop, they could spot him, this obvious target engulfed in dark mist. Wasn’t this just asking to be targeted…
