The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Chapter 178 How can a man say no?!

The first team match is about to begin.
Su Mucheng was still a little worried about Mo Qian's injured hand, so she gently took his hand in hers.

"Promise me, if you feel you can't do it, don't force yourself, okay?"

Mu Cheng blinked her big, watery eyes at Mo Qian. Mo Qian was hesitant to meet her gaze, afraid that he might soften his heart if they looked at each other, and what if his sword softened?
"Don't worry, a man can't say no. If he says he'll win, he definitely will!"

Mo Qian didn't answer Mu Cheng's question directly. He patted Mu Cheng's head, then picked up his account card, drew his sword, and went to war!

His first opponent was the opposing team's five strongest members, the same five from the arena battles. Everyone knew it was almost an unwinnable match, but Mo Qian refused to accept defeat.

"Old Mo, are your hands really okay?" Jiang Botao asked, looking at Mo Qian's hands with some doubt.

"Yes, it's fine—"

"Okay, Zhou and I will do our best to cooperate with you, but take it easy—"

Mo Qian's side is still led by Mo Qian himself, a three-D team consisting of gunners, swordsmen, and magicians.
[Mo Qian] [Jiang Botao] [Chu Yunxiu] [Zhou Zekai] [Xu Bin]

"Come on, so what if they're a world-class team? It's not like we haven't played against them before! Let's go!"

Jiang Botao shouted with great force!
The map used in this competition was somewhat favorable to Mo Qian.
【Demon's Labyrinth】

As the name suggests, this is a maze created by the Mirror Demon, which tests the contestants' eyesight to an extreme degree.

This map is almost entirely composed of mirrored walls, which also reflect the images of all the characters.

I wonder which genius designer came up with this map; it's clearly meant to make things difficult for all the players.
Fortunately, Mo Qian's eyesight was always excellent, but the opposing team also had a player capable of seeing through the map—Black Widow. Yes, it was her again.
Black Widow is the product of rigorous training; simply put, what Black Widow sees isn't a maze, but rather a clear wall.

"How's it going? Is there any movement?"

After Jiang Botao was teleported into this map, he didn't dare to move an inch, for fear of making any noise.

"Old Jiang, what are you doing? Come with me!"

Mo Qian looked at Jiang Botao's actions with a puzzled expression, and for a moment he had no idea what Jiang Botao was trying to do.
"Huh? Hey? Old Mo, can you tell if this is a wall or a mirror???"

This time, it wasn't just Jiang Botao who looked at Mo Qian; everyone in the team was staring at him. They genuinely didn't have this special ability, but Mo Qian seemed to truly be able to see clearly—

"Yes, can't you see it???"

Mo Qian spoke with a Versailles-like air, though he had no intention of showing off; he was simply curious why Jiang Botao and the others couldn't see clearly.

"Um—I can't see clearly, never mind, I'll just follow you—"

After trying again, Jiang Botao, Zhou Zekai, and the others finally decided to give up; it was simply impossible to succeed.

This situation wasn't unique to the Chinese team; the entire M team was also like chicks following closely behind Black Widow, like chicks following a mother hen.
Unfortunately, in a game like iMaps, being able to move smoothly without hitting walls is already a very good skill, let alone making random movements. That's definitely at the highest level of difficulty.

"When will these two teams finally meet?!" Ten minutes passed, but the two teams still hadn't encountered each other. However, both sides had gradually adapted to the current map, and even if they suddenly bumped into a wall, they could react in time.
Perhaps this is the effect the designers intended. How could the designers not know that the players would be completely bewildered when they first saw a map like this? Therefore, they deliberately made the teleportation distance between the two teams very far.

This gives both players ample time to adapt to the map. Both players are world-class, so their adaptability goes without saying. They are top-tier players who can learn many things and techniques on their own without needing to be told.

"Hey hey hey! We're about to run into them! Wake up, bro!"

Those still conscious in the audience quickly started taking pictures of their friends or classmates—this was a moment they couldn't miss!

Suddenly, the two teams met at a corner, and Mo Qian and Black Widow stared at each other wide-eyed.

"It's fake, it's a mirror." Finally, the two of them turned their heads simultaneously, because what they were facing was just a mirror—

"Found them! Prepare for battle!"

Mo Qian quickly found the real Black Widow and her group emerging from another unknown corner. The space here wasn't actually very large; it certainly wasn't big enough for ten of them to have a proper, large-scale fight.
But for Mo Qian, someone will be stepping in soon, won't they?
"Focus fire! Black Widow!"

As soon as Mo Qian gave the order, Zhou Zekai and Chu Yunxiu began their bombardment feast almost instantly!
"Rapid fire, violent shooting, random shooting!"

"Blizzard! Thunder and fire!"

Countless spells and bullets bombarded the enemy at great speed!

"not good!"

For a moment, Black Widow couldn't tell whether it was a mirror image or the real thing.

This is Black Widow's only weakness: her reaction time is somewhat lacking, and sometimes she cannot make the most correct judgment.

"broken!"

Mo Qian unleashed a series of powerful sword strikes, delivering the final blow and successfully defeating Black Widow.
The stinging sensation returned, and Mo Qian began to sweat.

"This is only the first time, surely she can't be that fragile—"

Watching Mo Qian's actions from the stands, the elderly gentleman Tang Chen couldn't help but shake his head. This kid clearly wasn't cut out for it—ignoring the advice of elders leads to regret.

That's often the case; some things just have to be done, and someone always has to do them, right?

"Take the first one."

Blood slowly seeped from the bandages, but Mo Qian completely ignored it; he could tolerate the slight stinging pain.
"The second one! It's you! Thor!"

While Mo Qian was still at his limit and could continue using his abilities, he rushed to Thor's side, followed by Chu Yunxiu and Zhou Zekai.
Zhou Zekai was trying his best to keep up with Mo Qian's movements, but he was still a little slower. Fortunately, Mo Qian's speed wasn't as fast as it was in the arena, so the gap between Zhou Zekai and Mo Qian wasn't too large, and Zhou Zekai could still provide some firepower support.
