MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter
Chapter 1243 - Chapter 1243 Chapter 1243 Terrain Kill

Chapter 1243: Chapter 1243: Terrain Kill Chapter 1243: Chapter 1243: Terrain Kill All the audience felt their hairs stand on end; it was too eerie.

From beginning to end, Ael had just stood in place, without moving an inch, while the golden lion-man had plunged into the lava lake in a frenzy, oblivious to the pain of being burned by the scorching temperatures.

Seeing the golden lion-man being transported out with a body like charred wood, his armor already melted and stuck to his skin, as though fused with the iron itself.

Without trying, just thinking about it one could feel the agony, and yet Ael remained as before from start to finish.

“Indeed, she is extraordinarily talented, no wonder she is the heir to the High Priest. Her spirit is very strong,” Li Yao said earnestly.

“That’s right, the mental abilities of the Dark Elf priests are what they do best,” Feng Yi continued: “Although the Dark Elves were willing to negotiate at that time, they almost caused us a great loss with their mental abilities. Later, when we agreed on specific terms, we had to be monitored by intelligent brains to avoid being deceived. What you see as the original terms are no longer the same, so when dealing with Dark Elves, we always exercise great caution and never underestimate this race.”

“Big Brother, your next opponent is also a lion-man, do you think you can win?” Tong Tong asked.

Li Yao looked at the other matches and said, “I have never been afraid of brutes.”

Soon, the competition for the top sixteen began, and Li Yao entered the arena in the fifth match.

This time, the venue was a lake with a rickety stone bridge without railings in the middle, connecting the two sides. The contestants stood facing each other on opposite shores.

“Kid, I heard you are quite arrogant, huh? In the last game, you won without lifting a finger, relying on tricks. Dare you do the same in this one?” the lion-man sneered.

Li Yao shrugged: “Are you trying to provoke me?”

“Heh, why would I need to? I just can’t stand your behavior, that’s all. If you can beat me without using a weapon in this round, then I will be convinced,” the lion-man continued to provoke.

“The crude method of provocation is truly laughable. However, I really don’t want to make a move this round, not because of your ridiculous provocation, but simply because I don’t need to in order to deal with you,” Li Yao said as he casually stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking unperturbed at the lion-man.

The crowd buzzed with excitement. This time there were no swamps or lava; if Li Yao didn’t act, even if he wanted to drown the lion-man, he wasn’t Ael. How could he make the lion-man jump into the water?

Granted, the lion-man, donned in heavy golden armor, would likely die if he jumped into the water, but he wasn’t stupid enough to do so willingly. Everyone thought Li Yao was playing a dangerous game this time.

Many Earthlings were deeply worried, thinking Li Yao was too arrogant and not focused on the big picture, and that he should be collectively denounced.

“Ha ha ha, let’s see how arrogant you can be in a bit,” the golden lion-man’s eyes flashed with a cunning light.

The match began, and the golden lion-man immediately started attacking Li Yao, who continued to dodge and retreat, soon ending up on the bridge.

“You think I don’t know what you’re planning? Sure, my heavy armor prevents me from swimming, but will I fall in? Idiot, you’re dead for sure. On this narrow bridge, let’s see how you can dodge.”

A layer of illusory golden flames appeared on the golden lion-man, as his attack speed increased even further, and Li Yao seemed to be at constant risk, like a tiny boat in the midst of overwhelming waves, about to capsize at any moment.

Starfire and Li Yao’s family were full of concern. They had no other thought but to wish for Li Yao’s safety; as for so-called glory, to them, it was worthless compared to Li Yao’s well-being.

They quickly reached the center of the bridge, which was the central location of the large lake.

“Let’s stop here. You’re very clever, never attacking me with rigid, high-action moves that have large openings. Instead, you use fast and cunning attacks. However, it’s a pity.”

Li Yao finished speaking and once again back-flipped to dodge his attack, circling to the edge of the bridge, while the lion-man had already stepped forward. However, a flash of fire on the bridge, followed by an explosion, sent the lion-man flying off at an angle.

His body quickly flew out over the bridge, and should he fall, he would certainly not be able to get back up.

“Idiot, I know you’re a Hunter, and I also play ‘Ancient Gods.’ Did you really think I wouldn’t know about your explosive traps?” The lion-man was not flustered at all as he hurled his axe.

It was then that people noticed a chain connected to the end of the axe. The axe buried itself halfway into the bridge, and as the chain retracted, the lion-man’s body, pulled by the chain, was about to land back on the bridge.

That’s when Li Yao made his move. He quickly flashed next to the axe and kicked it away.

At that moment, the lion-man’s body came close to the edge of the bridge, and Li Yao delivered another lightning-fast kick. Li Yao had chosen the angle so well that the lion-man could not avoid it at all, and seeing Li Yao approach, he had been preparing to charge, but in the end, Li Yao interrupted him, with the lion-man reacting a beat too slowly.

Splash…

Without any suspense, the lion-man fell into the water. He had been trying to intercept, but Li Yao’s kick had left him motionless, without a chance to do so, and, in the end, the lion-man still fell into the water.

“How despicable. You said you wouldn’t make a move,” the lion-man said.

A hint of contempt flashed in Li Yao’s eyes, “Do you really take me for a fool? Your taunting was much too clumsy, and besides, I didn’t make a move at all–I only moved my foot.”

“Ah, blub, blub…” The lion-man wanted to continue cursing, but he had already sunk into the water. He struggled to resurface, but the weight of his armor and axe was too much, and he couldn’t struggle free.

From the sidelines, the majestic Gold Lion-man’s eyes were filled with shame and anger, but he still clenched his teeth and said, “We forfeit.”

This was his second time choosing to forfeit. The first from his race had leaped into the Lava Lake, and the second had fallen into the water like a clown, embarrassingly losing face completely.

The atmosphere became strange again. The Earthlings in the audience fell silent, while the Aliens began to accuse Li Yao of being deceitful. However, the true situation was that Li Yao had won, and indeed, he had not laid a hand on him.

Besides, the Gold Lion-man had previously attacked for such a long time without causing even a scratch, so there was little to argue about.

“Big brother is impressive. That big dummy is so funny. We totally played them,” Tonton was excited beyond measure, as if the victory were her own.

“We probably can’t rely on using the terrain next time,” the Dark Elf said.

Li Yao nodded, “I can’t always be this lucky, and Aliens aren’t fools. But whether they get to see my trump cards depends on the strength of the upcoming opponents. In warfare, no tactics are unchanging; adaptability is key.”

In this round, Azure Dragon’s opponent was an Orc warrior. Under the fierce firepower of Azure Dragon, the Orc was gravely injured and admitted defeat. In single combat, the burst firepower of an old Mecha was, indeed, quite exceptional.

Next was the battle for the top eight…
