Chapter 676: Lady Luck is Smiling
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Legend has it...
That a legendary skill that descendeth from the heavens, the “Flying Kick”, also known as “Flying Dragon to the Face”, delivereth the power of ten thousand thunderbolts onto the heads of one’s enemies!
Li Muqiu and Gao Yunyang had planned to split forces, with one of them heading down the cliff to attack Liu Zilang from the flank, while the other provided cover from the clifftop.
Shen Zeyan’s shot had changed all that.
It had given them a pressing sense of danger. They realized that in such a crucial situation, they needed a drastic solution!
That was, to employ the Flying Kick!
The cliff in front of them was not too high of a drop. If they jumped off, they would only lose half their health points at most.
Furthermore, they were two of Asia’s strongest riflers. They were pretty confident about going into close combat against Liu Zilang.
Especially since it was two against one!
Flying Dragon to the Face!
How could they lose?
Since both of them were riflers, they were never people who hesitated and dawdled. Once they had made a decision, they were prompt to act upon it.
On the tournament big screen, the two were seen stepping one foot away from the cliff and then jumping off the cliff!
“F- F- Flying Kick?”
“Oh my ghosts! It’s Guru Qiu and Sloth’s turn to be reckless!”
“That’s two flying kicks! It’s the end of Vic!”
The live stream viewers were sent into a tizzy when they saw the unexpected turn of events!
Tatatat~!
Tut tut tut~!
While the two of them were still falling in midair, twin dragons made of fire were ejected from the muzzles of their guns, and they danced madly in the air toward Liu Zilang!
Liu Zilang was shocked when he heard the sudden sound of gunfire coming from midair. He lifted his head and saw the two people descending from above. He cursed silently in his heart!
‘These two b*stards!’
Even so, his physical reflexes were fast. Instead of diving for cover, he pointed his gun toward the air and then tap-fired a series of shots!
Tat tat tat~!
Liu Zilang’s swift and resolute retaliation knocked out the opponent on his right!
However, it was nonetheless hard to fight against two opponents.
Blood spurted from various parts of his body. His health bar decreased at a rate visible to the naked eye.
He had not managed to pull his crosshair over and was about to be knocked out the next second when...
From the direction of Mylta, Shen Zeyan, who had fired a test shot earlier, fired another shot that barely disturbed the clouds.
In a flash, a sniper bullet traveled across hundreds of meters, carrying with it an aura of destruction. It then brought death to the person who was still in midair!
Thud!
The bullet penetrated the person’s helmet!
The helmet on the person’s head instantly shattered into a thousand pieces and a stream of blood poured out!
Liu Zilang, who was prepared to face death, had just pulled over his crosshair when he saw that the person who was viciously attacking him had died in midair! Not to mention, that person’s head was tilted!
He was stunned!
Splat!
Splat!
Before he could react, the two people dropped to the ground and turned into crates.
The two corpses were slumped on the ground, and their eyes were still open as they looked at the clouds. It was as if they still bore a deep-seated grudge, and they could not close their eyes even in death.
Two kill notifications appeared on the screen.
“4AM-Vic knocked out Sloth with M16A4!”
“IGWolves killed Se7en-Lech by headshot with AWM!”
“4AM-Vic killed Sloth with M16A4!”
The entire live stream channel was dumbfounded, having witnessed the historic turnabout!
“Guru Qiu and Sloth, they flying kicked... the bucket?”
“Bahaha, flying kicked the bucket!”
“Conspiracy! There must be some conspiracy going on! How else could Master Ze have delivered the killing shot at the perfect time?”
“Not only was it timely, but it was f*cking accurate! My scalp is numb now!”
“I feel sorry for Guru Qiu, he was so close to exacting his revenge. Who would have guessed that Master Ze would intercept him halfway.”
“If I were him, I’d be smashing my keyboard now! What an infuriating conclusion!”
“...”
While the live stream viewers made fun of the situation, the commentators on the platform exclaimed the turn of events while sucking in mouthfuls of cold air!
“That’s one of Asia’s Top Three Sniper Gods for you!”
“I submit! I submit to Master Ze’s sniping skills!”
“Actually, even though they’re known as ‘Asia’s Top Three Sniper Gods’, they all have unique playstyles. Not many people realize that the Korean player Kim Doohwan’s playstyle is instant sniping at close range. It’s quite similar to Vic’s playstyle.”
“Meanwhile, the ‘Nighthawk’ Bai Shaobin from Tyloo prefers continuous sniping at mid-range. Out of the three, only Master Ze is proficient in long-range sniping like this.”
“That’s right. For long-range sniping, one not only needs to have the skills to do it, but one also needs to have enough luck. Otherwise, it would be hard to hit anyone.”
“Now that you mention it, I believe only players like Master Ze who like long-range sniping are only loved by Lady Luck.”
“Heheh, I have my doubts about that claim. If I’m not mistaken, Vic’s long-range sniping is also pretty accurate. Moreover, he’s not a player who only focuses on sniping.”
“Hm... I guess Lady Luck can be occasionally blind.”
“...”
On the stage, Li Muqiu was seated as he looked at the black and white game over screen that was in front of him. Not to mention, he stared at the eye-catching headshot kill notification in red. He was a mess of emotions!
His eyes were dull and lifeless, his irises were dilated, and the corners of his lips were twitching slightly as if he was broken inside...
“That was... Master Ze?”
Gao Yunyang, who had already risen from his seat and taken his jacket that was slung on the back of the chair, heard Li Muqiu’s question. He could only offer him consolation by patting his shoulder.
...
In the game, Liu Zilang only had a sliver of health left. Hence, he reacted quickly and immediately dashed into the cloud of smoke that hid Misaka Mikoto.
He did not believe Shen Zeyan to be one who offered ‘humanitarian aid’ to those in need. He could be his next target since he had killed Li Muqiu.
However, he felt a little safer after entering the smokescreen as no one was there to throw grenades from above him.
As for Shen Zeyan, at that distance, if he could hit his head from over eight hundred meters away, there was nothing he could do against him.
Lady Luck did not strike twice.
Shen Zeyan tested a shot but it did not hit Liu Zilang. Shortly after, Liu Zilang had finished healing himself after reviving Misaka Mikoto.
“Shifu! How did they know the secret code?” Misaka Mikoto asked confusedly, not wanting to let go of the question.
Liu Zilang fell silent for a while and then spoke with shining eyes, “Hm... there might be a traitor among us.”
He was silently cursing Long Shenjue for divulging the secret code. However, he did not know that Long Shenjue was thinking the same thing...
Two minutes went by in a flash, and the countdown timer struck zero.
The radioactive blue web started closing in from all sides!
After looting the two heaven-sent crates under the cover of a smokescreen, Liu Zilang saw that Shen Zeyan who was in the distance no longer planned on aiming at him. Hence, he quickly beckoned to Misaka Mikoto to make their getaway.
Just when they were planning to walk into the safe zone by following the nearest straight-line distance, without warning...
A spot on the lower-right corner of the map turned red!
