Bang, bang, bang!

Laughing Soul put away the two guns and took out two pistols from the holsters around her waist to pressure back her opponent. As she fired, she slid her body around. She was running away from Xiao Tan earlier but now she was moving vertically and faced her enemy head-on. Xiao Tan’s Life Points had already been damaged in the earlier explosion and he suffered a lot when he was coming up the rack. He would not be able to suffer yet another heavy blow. So, he had no choice but to choose to evade and jump away from the pistol fires.

With this back and forth, the distance between the two was drawn a bit further and that gave Laughing Soul the chance she needed to reload.

She took out the MP5 again and grabbed a magazine that she tore inside one of the pockets of her army jacket. As she ran, she said, “If I remember correctly, the cooldown time for your Reverse Spinning Slash is one minute. That indeed is a skill that can threaten me greatly. One, it can close the distance, two, it can bounce back my bullets, and three, it can deal physical damage… It combines both offense and defense.” Laughing Soul tried to remind the man. “But… based on my calculation, your current Life Points are currently probably less than twenty percent. At this distance, your Life Points won’t last you for more than a minute.” She paused for a second. “My suggestion is either you slow down to take a health potion and continue to pressure me in close distance and wait for the cooldown to finish and end the battle with your ultimate or you give up the chase now and escape from my view, before finding a new chance to sneak up to me again.”

“Even though I know you mean well…” Xiao Tan said coldly, “But… when a man is being serious, he does not need a backseat driver to distract him!” At this point, he had a sudden burst of speed and charged forward.

“What!” Laughing Soul suddenly exploded with her blood boiling. “How dare you talk back to me! How could you!” That definitely triggered something in her, and she stopped holding back and fired off everything she got. But Xiao Tan evaded all of the bullets…

He used alternatively Ephemeral Shade that had one second cooldown and Bat’s Wing that had five seconds cooldown. Using this strange and unpredictable movement method, without slowing down speed, he kept up the appearance of at least three shades simultaneously. This was not only the nightmare of a sniper but the nightmare of all long-ranged weapon users. In Laughing Soul’s eyes, there were three Wang Tanzhi coming at her. They were suddenly far and suddenly near, they were real, and they were fake. It was impossible to tell which was the real one.

“This kid…” Laughing Soul was truly caught by surprise this time. She could only move her weapon from left to right and shoot blindly as she retreated. But in that case, she was relying purely on luck. It did not matter how high her mastery was, and her mastery was only Level C. Finally, when the cooldown for Reverse Spinning Slash was over, Xiao Tan was within five steps of Laughing Soul.

“I’m sorry… but the battle has already been…” Before Xiao Tan could utter the ‘decided’… Laughing Soul did something surprising and turned the table around… She whipped herself around, lunged forward and threw herself into Xiao Tan’s embrace.

Xiao Tan who was about to use his ultimate was shocked, he did not expect this to happen at all. Laughing Soul was cornered and that was why she did something like this. She was in a very bad moment. She was not only scolded by Xiao Tan—she was also about to lose. There was a fire within her that had no place to vent so she lunged forward and took revenge the way she knew how. By strangling Xiao Tan’s neck and trying to pull his hair.

This bear hug came so suddenly that it stunned Xiao Tan until he forgot to use his skill. And things soon spiraled out of control… After Laughing Soul knocked into Xiao Tan, they lost balance and tipped over the edge of the rack. They tumbled over the edge and started free falling.

“So, we end up dying together…” Xiao Tan had returned to his usual self in midair and looked at the ceiling that was moving away from him with a lamenting expression. Undoubtedly, these two players who had been shrunk into toys would die from falling from such a tall height.

“Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell!” Laughing Soul did not intend for things to end like that. In midair, she successfully took a stranglehold on Xiao Tan’s neck and grabbed his hair by her handful.

“Ah… Ouch! Ouch! What are you doing!” Xiao Tan’s Life Points did not drop but no one liked having their hairs pulled out. “Ah… I can’t do this anymore… Death, please come get me…”

…

At the same time, at the top of the other side.

“The match seems to end on the other side as well…” Passing Rain used her cold eye to look at Feng Bujue lying in his own pool of blood. Hearing that, Feng Bujue glanced at the menu. Both Xiao Tan and Laughing Soul’s status had been changed to ‘dead’.

He was about to speak but only coughed out blood. “Hack… hack… so they both died… I didn’t expect that.” Brother Jue smiled bitterly. “Of course… that’s not the only thing I didn’t expect.”

“You still have one skill that you can use.” Passing Rain flicked Holy Seal slightly and the bloodstain on it disappeared. “Use Descent of the War Demon… We’ll consider everything before that a warmup.”

“Hah…” Feng Bujue licked the blood on the corner of his lip. “Before I do that, do you mind explaining your ridiculously overpowered fighting ability?”

“It’s same as yours. It’s Soul’s Eye.” Passing Rain replied.

Feng Bujue was confused. “So that’s why… but in that case… why aren’t you on the combat stat ranking?”

“Because your Soul’s Eye is continuous.” Passing Rain replied. “But mine is instantaneous.”

“Oh? So, it’s a skill that differs according to the users…” Feng Bujue said, “Alright… I’m sorry.”

“Why the sudden apology?”

“Because I got a bit full of myself after getting on the second place on the ranking and look down on the rest of you. Looks like… I only got what I deserved.”

“There’s no need to apologize for that because you have always been like that.”

“Ergh…”
