Chapter 464: 464: God’s One Arrow
Right now, bearing such top-tier equipment seemed like an ironic joke. Faced with Li Yao, they still had no power to fight back.
Three rounds, three insta-kills. No one could withstand the unleashed attacks, whether they came from Li Yao or his pet.
Romeo looked over his shoulder at his players, who all hung their heads.
At first, they could’ve said that Li Yao was just beating up the weak, and his Beast King title was all for show.
But that wasn’t the case now. After three fights with top-tier players, he had dominated all of them. At this moment, Li Yao stood before them like a towering mountain.
How could they devise a way to deal with him on the spot?
Everyone knew now that beating Li Yao would skyrocket their reputation. But if they lost, they would be just another stepping stone for him.
“I’ll go.” declared a rogue wearing a mask and wielding a dagger.
“Laurent, be careful.” Romeo traded a Lv.20 dungeon-drop Leather Armor and dagger to Laurent.
“Forget the equipment, just give me the dagger. If I can catch him, I can finish him with one combo. If I can’t, wearing this equipment would be beneficial for others, but against Prairie Fire, it would be a one-hit matter.” Laurent gripped the new dagger and smeared it with poison, then slowly walked into the arena.
“Laurent, let’s learn from each other.” Laurent saluted.
“Prairie Fire, let’s learn from each other.” Li Yao also saluted and then said, “Rogue, I won’t use pets. It could be interesting. But I’m in a bad mood because my dungeon rush was interrupted today so I’m not in the mood to play. So, I’m sorry, but you can only deliver the food.”
As he spoke, Li Yao once again summoned the hydra. He was now deliberately making everyone think that this high-level boss, the hydra, was his secret weapon, and that they had overlooked the mechanical aspect. Of course, after these battles, Li Yao’s goal was achieved. If someone said that the boss wasn’t his secret weapon, nobody would believe it.
“You’re celebrating too early.” Laurent’s face was also very upset. He thought that Li Yao wouldn’t summon his pet and that’s why he entered the field. With the hydra present, how could he get close to Li Yao?
“Didn’t the Beast King say he won’t use his pet? Why has he summoned one now? Are you feeling insecure?” Romeo said loudly.
“Exactly, didn’t you consider yourself invincible? You talked a lot but when it came down to it, you got scared. The Beast King is nothing special, it’s all just blowing hot air.”
There were many smart people in the Devil Alliance who saw Laurent’s predicament and began to mock Li Yao.
“You guys talk too much. If I want to use it, I’ll use it. If I don’t, I won’t. I’m a Beast King Hunter, and yet you made a fuss about me not using a pet. Why don’t you say that the rogue shouldn’t use Stealth, how ridiculous. I’m just standing here not moving. Do you want me to tie my hands behind my back so you can kill me?” Li Yao initiated a duel and continued, “I never said I was invincible. There will always be creatures or things that can counter my pet. You just don’t know it. If you want to blame someone, blame your ignorance.”
Laurent’s face turned red as he entered Stealth mode, and the hydra began to cast Floating Snow, completely covering their surroundings with green snowflakes.
The rogue’s Shadow Step can only cover a distance of about twenty yards, while Floating Snow covers at least forty yards in radius. It was impossible for Laurent to launch a sneak attack on Li Yao who was next to the hydra.
Time passed quickly – one minute, but there was still no sign of Laurent.
Romeo smiled and said, “The Beast King is right, nothing is invincible. Like now, Laurent can’t get close to you, but you also can’t find Laurent. There’s no point in dragging this on, should we call it a draw?”
Everyone else agreed with Romeo. As he said, under these circumstances, no one could do anything to the other. It was pointless and extremely boring to drag it on.
Li Yao opened his closed eyes and said, “Who said it’s a draw? It’s too easy to find him, just watch me kill him.”
“Hahaha, as expected of the Beast King. Well, I’m eager to see how you can kill Laurent while you are still standing in your original position.” Romeo wasn’t worried at all because this was almost an impossible task. At such a long distance, it would be too difficult to sense the trace of a rogue. No, not just difficult, it’s impossible.
“Don’t worry, you won’t have to wait long. He’ll be dead in fifteen seconds.” After saying that, Li Yao quickly surveyed the distant surroundings.
White laughed loudly, “As expected of the Beast King, very impressive. But trying to find a hidden rogue from several dozen yards away is ridiculously laughable.”
Because of the live broadcast, the audience saw that Laurent, upon hearing Li Yao’s words, had already hidden behind a large tree and was staying still.
In this situation, standing still at Li Yao’s position, finding Laurent was indeed impossible.
Even Xiao Ze frowned at this point, not to mention others. Even she thought Li Yao was being too arrogant now.
Under these circumstances, fifteen minutes would be useless, let alone fifteen seconds. She wracked her brain and couldn’t think of any way to find Laurent within fifteen seconds.
The audience was on the edge of their seats. Li Yao had given them too many surprises tonight. They were hoping to see a miracle, but reason told them there was hardly any hope for this miracle.
Time passed quickly, and when there were only three seconds left of the fifteen seconds, Li Yao finally drew his Blue Moon Bow. A golden light flickered, followed by a dark gold light. This was the effect of a Lv.4 Charged Arrow, the light would turn dark gold, and the damage would reach a terrifying level.
When the time was up, Li Yao also let go of his fingers.
The arrow shot out like lightning. The audience showed disappointed expressions, the members of the Devil Alliance started to smile, and the faces of the guild alliance members changed greatly. This was because the direction of Li Yao’s shot was not where Laurent was hiding – they were a considerable distance apart.
“Prairie Fire, you’ve overexaggerated this time. Let’s see how you talk your way out of this one…”
“Prairie Fire, there’s no need to boast.” A smile appeared on Romeo’s face.
“Did he really think he was a god? Ridiculous.” the Vice President of the Brilliant Guild said.
“You overplayed your hand this time.” added Edward.
Li Yao put away his bow and arrow and said calmly, “Why are you all looking at me? You should look at Laurent and then talk about these useless things.”
Hearing Li Yao’s words, everyone remembered Laurent who had remained silent. At this moment, everyone turned their attention to Laurent’s position.
However, when they saw what was right before their eyes, they couldn’t believe what they were seeing…
