The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Chapter 19 Mu Ling: You guys, are you really just ordinary players? ?? You don't look like it at all!
With a deafening roar, the Ice Demon Ape King made its dazzling appearance!

After regaining its composure, the Ice Demon Ape King immediately targeted Mo Qian, the one who had struck it the hardest. It seemed the Ice Demon Ape King understood this principle well.
The Ice Demon Ape King, having leaped into the air, was likely destined to suffer a setback this time. Its roar didn't fully hit Mo Qian, allowing Mo Qian to escape control while the Ice Demon Ape King was still in mid-air.
"You're being a bit too naive to think you can catch me—"

Mo Qian looked at the Ice Demon Ape King in the sky and said smugly.

Goodbye!

Mo Qian used his "Sword Immortal Shake" technique repeatedly, using several small dashes to escape the Ice Demon Ape King's attack range as it was about to land.

"Qianqian, I didn't see wrong, did I? Did he just 'whoosh' and drift to another location?"

Mu Ling opened her mouth wide, looking at Mo Qian's operation in disbelief. Mu Ling had never seen this operation in online games before. There was only one place where such an operation would appear, and that was in the professional arena!
"Mmm, Sister Lingling, that looks so cool! I want to learn it too!"

Qianqian's eyes were full of stars; it was clear that this naive and innocent girl really wanted to learn this trick.

"Qianqian—this doesn't look like something you could learn so easily—"

Although she said that, Mu Ling had a very unlikely guess. She had only seen this skill from one professional player, "Sword Immortal Mo Qian," the ace player of Team Excellent Era, but Mu Ling was still a little unsure.

"Hey? Mo Qian, were you a professional gamer before?"

As Mo Qian waited for the Ice Demon Ape King to land, he wondered why Mu Ling would ask such a question. Did she recognize his identity?
"No, no, there are so many people in the world named Mo Qian, how could she know it's me? And since the last incident, there have been so many more people named Mo Qian in the world."

Although the "impersonating the sword immortal Mo Qian" incident happened many years ago, there are still many people who like to use the name of a sword immortal; there are quite a few of them.

"I used to play professionally. I imitated Sword Immortal Mo Qian. If I had to choose my favorite professional player, I would choose Sword Immortal Mo Qian. He is the one everyone wants!"

Mu Ling is now certain that this person is definitely not the Sword Immortal Mo Qian. The Sword Immortal Mo Qian always had a free and unrestrained demeanor like Li Bai on the competition field. How could this narcissistic person be the Sword Immortal in her heart?

What Mu Ling didn't know was that Mo Qian's behavior was actually most like that of the Sword Immortal Li Bai. Li Bai was also an extremely confident swordsman, and Mo Qian never lacked confidence in himself either. He would seize any opportunity and strike with the aim of catching his opponent off guard. However, the Sword Immortal's actions were both rough and refined.
When you see the sword immortal recklessly charging towards you, don't be afraid, because at this point you have no chance left. The sword immortal will not easily make a move unless he is 90% certain of success.

"Well, I never thought that someone could actually learn the sword immortal's skills."

Mu Ling dispelled her doubts about Mo Qian and genuinely believed that Mo Qian was just a fan of the Sword Immortal.

"It's coming, be careful!" Su Mucheng warned Mo Qian not to be distracted. The Ice Demon Ape King plummeted downwards, its heavy sword striking the ground with a deafening thud, followed by a crack in the earth! After the crack, the Ice Demon Ape King would begin to weaken. Mo Qian chuckled, raised his sword, and unleashed a flurry of jabs, briefly increasing his attack speed. This burst of damage should bring the boss down to near-death.

Mo Qian seemed to have thought of something and called out to Qian Qian, who was standing some distance away:

"Qianqian, come closer, you'll deliver the final blow!"

Qianqian was a little flattered. She usually didn't have much trouble finishing off the smaller bosses, but this was a significant hidden boss, so the experience points it would give would definitely be plentiful.

Everyone knows that the final blow to defeat a boss grants the most experience, but Mo Qian isn't one to covet that little bit of experience. What he wants is the "Dark Sword" wielded by the Ice Demon Ape King! Compared to that, what is a little experience?
"It's red, Mo Qian." Su Mucheng finally decided to speak up. She hadn't before because she was afraid Mo Qian would recognize her immediately, but since he had already recognized her, it didn't matter anymore.

However, Mu Ling and Qian Qian were shocked by the voice, because it sounded so much like the celebrity Su Mu Cheng!

Wow! Your voice is so beautiful, it sounds like a professional gamer's.

At this moment, Su Mucheng, just like Mo Qian, pretended that he was merely a hobbyist player imitating Su Mucheng.

"Of course not—why would Su Mucheng be playing online games? I'm just a player who likes to imitate Su Mucheng—"

Upon hearing this, Mu Ling felt a sense of familiarity—as if she had heard it somewhere before, but where?

Isn't this the same line Mo Qian used to fool Mu Ling just now? He didn't even change the words. This made Mu Ling start to have doubts. Mu Ling pondered and didn't say anything.

"Oh, that's how it is--"

Qianqian had no doubts whatsoever and easily believed Su Mucheng's words. Qianqian thought to herself, "This older sister has such a beautiful voice, she can't be a bad person—"

Qianqian is so easy to fool... no, she's such a good person, Mu Ling thought to herself.

"Are these two really just ordinary players???"

Seeing Su Mucheng and Mo Qian currently beating up the Ice Demon Ape King, Mu Ling still couldn't quite believe it:
You're telling me this is for an average player? What average player could beat a boss like this like that? The Ice Demon Ape King is almost dead!
