Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 111 Perfect Teamwork, Sword Duel Begins

Ao Run only practiced for one day and then didn't come out. It was because Li Qin liked her too much. When he was leveling up, he would go over and try to hug and touch her. He kept touching her, which annoyed her. The next day, she stayed in Zhenhai Pearl and refused to come out no matter how he coaxed her.

Su Yu had no choice but to let her do whatever she wanted, which made Li Qin very unhappy.

The three of them stayed at this monster spawn point for several days to level up. They divided the work: Li Qin used the Heavenly Blazing Fire Formation to deal with the large number of low-level poisonous insects, while Su Yu and Luo Qingchan each took care of one side to deal with the surging monsters and BOSS.

Whenever a monster of level 100 or higher appears, the four flying swords, each guarding one side, fly over together.

"Cuck!"

A muffled thunderous roar rang out, and a level 124 Manggu Toad leaped out of the volcano, immediately attracting the attention of players leveling up nearby.

Manggu Zhuha (Elite): Leader, Level 124, Poisonous creature.

Attributes: 385 million HP, 8 demon power, 26000 attack power, 600 km/h speed, demon magic: bone-corroding poison mist, bone-corroding demon lightning.

"There's a boss."

Players leveling up nearby reacted and activated their flying swords or magic weapons to rush towards the BOSS.

Luo Qingchan reacted very quickly, immediately urging her twin swords to charge forward. Tiny sword lights spanned several kilometers and appeared above the head of the Manggu Toad, crisscrossing back and forth to form a sword lotus that fell down. Poisonous flames exploded on the back of the toad like flames, and blood spurted out as if adding fuel to the fire, making the poisonous flames even more intense.

At this moment, the nearest squad arrived first and, ignoring Luo Qingchan's encirclement of the BOSS, also attacked.

Just as Su Yu was about to attack the Vermilion Toad, a thought flashed through his mind and he turned his twin swords to meet the attack. With a series of clanging sounds, he blocked the two flying swords.

He grasped two sword energies with both hands and swung them down like lightning, striking a flaming blade over twenty meters long and a flaming wheel over thirty meters in diameter, knocking them off course.

"grass!"

The leader of the four-man squad immediately shouted:

"Third and fourth brother, you stop him. Second brother, I'll help you grab the BOSS first."

As he spoke, he took out a string of white bone beads and threw them into the sky. They quickly expanded and transformed into skulls the size of houses, enveloped in demonic fire. The skulls opened their mouths and spewed out balls of demonic fire, which bombarded Luo Qingchan.

Then he took out another mirror, enlarged it, and pointed it at Luo Qingchan. A beam of blood-red light shone on her, but a flash of clear light on her body blocked the blood-red light.

With one person taking the lead, the other players around them didn't hold back either, unleashing their magic weapons to blast over and snatch the BOSS. Some even directly attacked Su Yu and Luo Qingchan.

Luo Qingchan said in a crisp voice:
"Intercept it for me, half a minute is enough."

"rest assured!"

Su Yu raised an eyebrow, took out the Wind God Token and threw it into the air. The Wind God Token quickly expanded and was surrounded by a gentle breeze. He directly consumed a full 40,000 units of mana to inject into it, and the Wind God Token suddenly lit up. One after another, mysterious runes flew out and bloomed in all directions.

Runes lit up above the heads of the many players who were besieging Luo Qingchan, then exploded and turned into wisps of wind that fell and bound them.

Binding a target costs 2000 mana, and 40000 mana can bind 20 targets at the same time, binding all those who take action.

Then, without hesitation, Su Yu activated the fusion of the two swords. As soon as the two swords merged, they entered the realm of flowing light, which was imperceptible to the naked eye. The precious light on each figure trembled violently, and in the blink of an eye, they shattered, and the people died and the treasures fell.

Bound by the Wind God's Decree, he was unable to use Taoist magic or flying swords and magical treasures. Even if he summoned defensive magical treasures, he could not activate his magic power to make up for the defense, and his defense was directly broken through by a burst of energy.

The binding effect of the Wind God's Decree lasts for 5-60 seconds. For an eighth-tier magic weapon to bind players who haven't yet undergone tribulation is a dimensional reduction attack. It binds them for dozens of seconds at a time. He combined his two swords and unleashed a burst of power, instantly killing all 20 bound players.

"So strong."

Su Yu was somewhat reluctant to leave the Wind God Palace.

Such a terrifying thunderous strike immediately intimidated the other players, who all slunk away.

With no one interfering, Luo Qingchan used her flying sword, which was of unknown rank (eighth or higher), to forcefully trap the BOSS in place and unleash a barrage of attacks, each strike dealing over ten thousand damage. In less than half a minute, she slew the BOSS.

"You two are really strong!"

Only then did Li Qin put away the Heavenly Fire Pillar, realizing that the battle was already over.

The monster spawn point spews out tens of thousands of monsters every second. Even with a low BOSS spawn rate, you can still get a dozen or so level 100+ BOSSes every day. Whenever a BOSS appears, it will only go to the other side, and any BOSS that comes out to their side will be intercepted by them.

At this moment, Luo Qingchan took action to intercept and kill the BOSS, and Su Yu protected her.

Without needing any prompting, Su Yu had already summoned the Wind God Token the moment she made a move.

They had never worked together before, but they had perfect chemistry and could understand each other's thoughts with just a glance.

A week passed quickly, and with the sword duel about to begin, they reluctantly returned to their temporary camp.

The killing experience accumulated over the week was not much, just over 100 million, but the cultivation points accumulated from defeating BOSSes every day were over 800.

In addition, many good things were produced, including many rare poisonous insect eggs. Players of the Gu Dao style can use these insect eggs as seeds to slowly cultivate a batch of rare poisonous creatures.

However, none of the three of them follow the Gu Dao style, so they can only sell them for money or give them to guild members who follow the Gu Dao style for exchange.

Back at their base, they found several hundred people gathered there, mostly players from the Kamikaze Gang.

In the past few days, Lin Qingfeng has been calling on friends and inviting two more experts to help him. His own guild sent two more, and together with Su Yu and the other six, that makes a total of ten.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Gu Abyss, the 17th Independent Squadron of the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang was also inviting experts to help them.

These past few days they've been monitoring the local channels on Wan Du Island and have confirmed that this team, operating under the Wan Du Gang's banner, is indeed unrelated to the Wan Du Gang headquarters and is merely the individual action of the 17th Independent Squadron.

Although the main body of the Wan Du Gang did not participate, most of the experts invited by the Wan Du Gang came from the Wan Du Gang.

However, this did not change Lin Qingfeng's determination to snatch food from the mouth of the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang.

When the time came, both the Wan Du Gang and the Shen Feng Gang left their temporary encampments and gathered at the edge of the Gu Abyss. Not far away, several flying boats of various sizes were hovering in the sky, and many players, knowing that they were dueling, had come to watch. Lin Qingfeng, the leader of the Shen Feng Gang, and Wang Gong, the captain of the 17th Independent Squadron of the Wan Du Gang, stepped out from their respective teams and began their verbal sparring, while the invited witnesses to the duel also appeared one by one.

Both sides invited several witnesses to the sword duel, all of whom were famous experts from Wan Du Island, including a rogue immortal.

They will witness the outcome of the sword duel. The winner will gain ownership of the Gu Abyss, while the loser who reneges on the agreement will be humiliated and will be attacked by the entire group.

After exchanging pleasantries with the royal palace, Lin Qingfeng retreated, his face grave, and said:

"This is a bit dangerous. They not only hired several famous experts, but also used their connections with the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang to bring over a few more experts."

"How tall is it?"

"They are all top 100 experts on the Wan Du Island Ranking. The strongest, Zuo Qingren, is ranked fourteenth. I heard that he has two seventh-tier magic treasures and one eighth-tier magic treasure. He once fought against a Loose Immortal expert head-on and the battle ended in a draw for a short time. He is very powerful."

The smiles on Zhang Chao and Yao Chenfeng's faces visibly vanished, quickly turning serious.
"So strong?"

The two looked at Li Qin, then at Su Yu, and he smiled and said:

"I think I can do it too."

Looking at Luo Qingchan again, she said in a clear voice:

"We can win."

The four members of the Divine Wind Gang who had sent men to fight looked doubtful, while Lin Qingfeng said with a joyful expression:
"I'm relieved that you two are confident. Now it's up to you."

Actually, he wasn't entirely convinced either, since it was his first time meeting Su Yu and Luo Qingchan. But at this point, the die was cast, and he had no choice but to trust his teammates to keep everyone's confidence intact.

At this moment, a witness who was acting as a guest host said in a deep voice:
"Those who are going to fight, please step forward!"

Su Yu and his ten companions stepped out from their own camp, their eyes instinctively glancing at the opposite side, a hint of surprise on their faces.

He was shocked to discover that three of the ten people who walked out from the opposite side were familiar faces—the very three he had killed when he transformed into a dragon. They had actually come here at the invitation of the royal palace.

The three men also noticed him. Jiang Ming, who was in the middle, grinned, made a throat-scratching gesture to Su Yu, and said to his companions:

"See that kid?"

"I didn't have a chance last time, but this time I'm determined to teach him a lesson he won't forget."

Holding the demon banner, Jiang Zhihong's gaze fell on Su Yu, and his eyes lit up as he said:
"The two women next to him are quite nice. The tall one has a great figure and a good temperament, and the short one has a big chest."

As he spoke, he deliberately stretched out his hands and made a kneading and grabbing gesture.

Li Qin, standing next to Su Yu, blushed with anger.

"rogue!"

Su Yu gently comforted her:

"He won't be able to act so arrogantly for long. We'll kill him soon."

He didn't care about these people at all. He had met them once before, and they were no match for him. There was nothing to worry about.

He noticed a man in the crowd wearing a dark gold robe, whose aura was much stronger than the others around him, making him a formidable opponent.

At this moment, the witness who was temporarily acting as the host took out flags and threw them around. He pointed, and beams of light connected the flags to mark an area. He then loudly proclaimed:

"The battle is confined to this area. Leaving this area results in a loss, death in battle results in a loss, and voluntarily surrendering results in a loss. If the score is tied within 30 minutes, it is considered a draw, and neither side can continue to play."

"The use of pills for recovery is not allowed in battle. Equipment with recovery skills can be used, but items cannot be used and spirit pets are not allowed, except for Gu worms."

"Furthermore, if one side concedes defeat, the battle must cease immediately and must not continue to pursue and kill the enemy to the last man."

He looked to his left and right and asked loudly:

"Do you have any opinions?"

Lin Qingfeng and Wang Gong both spoke without objection, but Jiang Ming, standing behind Wang Gong, pointed at Su Yu and said:
"I have a personal grudge against someone on the other side. This fight will determine who is superior and who will live or die."

Everyone looked at Su Yu, whom he was pointing to, and the host asked:
Do you have any personal grudges against each other?

Su Yu nodded:

"Yes."

"Since that's the case, the four of you can decide who lives and who dies."

"The sword duel shall now begin. Each side shall select its first competitor to enter the arena within one minute."

Lin Qingfeng flew back, his gaze falling on the ten of them, and cupped his hands in greeting:

Who wants to be the first to go?

Yao Chenfeng raised his hand and chuckled:
"I'll test their depth first."

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Yao."

"It's my duty."

Yao Chenfeng leaped into the arena, and a man quickly jumped down from the opposite side.

When he saw this person appear, Lin Qingfeng's expression changed slightly:
"Why is it him?"
