Chapter 1216: Chapter 839: Top 16, Li Ba vs. Bloodriders! (5K)_2

"Scram! What’s with the Round Table poking its nose into everything?" a player shouted.

"Letting human powerhouses squabble among themselves, the Great Wall doesn’t have good intentions either!"

The various rest areas were in uproar.

Li Changhe, however, did not respond to anyone, whether it was the accusation of internal strife among humans or the crime of killing a human senior combatant.

Betweeen him and the Bloodrider, one must die. Why say more?

Thus, Li Changhe turned his gaze to the arena, watching the first match of the event.

The two players who were drawn had already taken the stage, one of whom was a Sea Clan player who seemed to have escaped the catastrophe at Godfall Canyon and was one of the Sea Clan Apostles who survived.

His opponent was none other than the Sealed Wolf Residence Champion Marquis, the second-highest expert on the LV14 Battle Power Rankings.

Clad in armor, mounted on a scaled warhorse, wielding the Great Qin battle flag, and a treasured sword at his waist.

The moment he appeared, he charged at the Sea Clan player.

The speed of his warhorse was so great that it silenced the quarreling players.

The sprint speed of this warhorse was actually on par with agility-focused players!

The Sea Clan Apostle’s body surged with electric light, moving with great speed, retreating quickly while raising the trident in his hand, the sky flickering with thunder. Dozens of bolts of lightning roared down!

The Champion Marquis maneuvered the warhorse to dodge back and forth, avoiding the swift lightning strikes. Yet his speed started to slow down.

That was the paralysis effect. Even if the warhorse dodged being struck directly by lightning, it couldn’t escape the widespread negative effect covering the ground.

Once the speed of the warhorse decreased, whether to continue the attack with lightning or another skill, the Sea Clan player would be able to greatly restrict the Champion Marquis. This was the Sea Clan player’s plan; facing the second top expert on the Battle Power Rankings, he dared not engage in close combat. He intended to exhaust the Champion Marquis’s famed speed with his Divinity.

As the pioneer of blitz tactics, the Champion Marquis’s speed was extremely formidable.

But if this ability could be sealed, his danger level would be greatly reduced.

However, the Champion Marquis then stood up on the warhorse, squatting on the horse’s back with his legs bent, his right hand gripping the treasured sword at his waist tightly.

"Is he about to unleash some kind of skill?" The Sea Clan player’s heart skipped a beat, instinctively raising his hand to release some sort of defensive ability.

However, in the next instant, a flash of sword light crossed hundreds of meters.

The players fell silent.

The Sea Clan Apostle instinctively squinted his eyes, then... saw the back of the Champion Marquis...

"What’s... what’s going on... why am I seeing his back?" he wondered.

Then his perspective tumbled, and he eventually fell to the ground. It was then that he saw his own body, still floating in mid-air... headless.

’Damn, his speed... is faster than the warhorse! Lord Hai Jun... I...’ the head of the Sea Clan Apostle watched his own falling body, and finally closed his eyes in resignation.

This was... an instant kill!

The audience hadn’t even warmed up their seats, and it was already over?

The referee paused for a moment before catching up: "The winner, West-02, Champion Marquis! Advances to the top sixteen!"

The audience’s eyes widened. They hadn’t seen much more than the Sea Clan Apostle. They only saw the Champion Marquis suddenly disappear from the warhorse and then reappear behind the Sea Clan Apostle. And the Sea Clan’s head had already been severed.

This overwhelming speed made it unclear if he had used any skills.

"It figures, he’s not someone that Sea Clan youngster could handle." A Different Race player commented, "Not just him, there’s also Li Ba, the Bloodrider, the Fifth Devil King. If you come against them without the certainty of victory, you might as well surrender immediately. Otherwise, you won’t have another chance."

Other Different Race players nodded silently, and the warhorse player clicked his tongue, saying, "I shouldn’t be that unlucky. At least for now, I’m guaranteed at least a top 31 spot. If more players get killed, we’ll be even closer to the top thirty."

Getting into the top thirty meant another level of rewards. Most players did not want to give up. After all, this round would decide the top sixteen, and if they could last to the top 20, their gains would be even greater. From this point of view, the more players that died, the better. Those who remained wouldn’t have to worry about their ranking even if they forfeited.

After being declared the winner on the battlefield, the Champion Marquis glanced at the rest areas around him; upon seeing Li Changhe, he nodded slightly, "Greetings, Tian Ce General of Great Tang. His Majesty has mentioned you."

"Hello, Champion Marquis of Great Qin," Li Changhe also nodded back, "I’ve read about you in the textbooks."

The Champion Marquis smiled and continued, "I hope you understand that this may be the Evil God’s conspiracy."

"Then he has succeeded," Li Changhe responded indifferently.

Whether or not the Evil God was involved in the conflict between himself and the Bloodrider, Li Changhe no longer cared. If it was the Evil God’s plot, then he succeeded. He and the Bloodrider were already at the point of irreconcilable difference. Even if it was the deceiver God’s Chosen’s trickery, he had no hesitation left.

"Yes... he has succeeded," the Champion Marquis sighed. He had no hope of dissuading anything.

Because if it were him, he would make the same choice.

Human infighting had become inevitable.

With a sigh, he was teleported back to a distant rest area.

The body of the Sea Clan player was also returned to the rest areas.

The battlefield, shattered by thunder, blurred momentarily, and then solidified and repaired instantly.

The referee descended from the sky back to the battlefield. The Light Curtain in his hand emerged once again.

This time, it showed a familiar face.
