Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 198 Luo Li: So they're one of us

With Luo Li's command, the Zhongzhou team quickly split into two groups, each rushing towards their respective targets. Chu Xuan naturally took over command of the group responsible for protecting Fujimaru Ritsuka and the other two, and began to arrange tactics for everyone.

"Qi Tengyi, you don't need to participate in the battle. What you need to do is use your Nen shield to provide everyone with a space where they can catch their breath, and at the same time, protect Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others to prevent any accidents from happening."

Xiao Honglu, Lingdian, Mingyanwei, and Zhang Heng, the four of you form a fire network and each take charge of a direction. Try to eliminate the Shadow Servants within your assigned area as much as possible, and ignore those outside the area.

Zhang Jie, you are responsible for monitoring the implementation of the entire defensive line. Notify me immediately if any Shadow Servants break through the fire network from any direction, so I can adjust the defensive line accordingly.

Zhao Yingkong, Gao Hongliang, you two will form the last line of defense with me and be responsible for eliminating any remaining fugitives.

After Chu Xuan had arranged everything, Cú Chulainn walked out of the Nen barrier erected by Qi Tengyi, carrying his staff.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm not some helpless baby. As a Caster-class being, I'm best at positional warfare. Let me lend you a hand."

Having said that, Cú Chulainn, without giving Chu Xuan a chance to refuse, slammed the tip of his staff onto the stone platform. A magical barrier centered on the primordial runes quickly formed, creating a temporary magic workshop.

Seeing this, Chu Xuan knew he couldn't stop Cú Chulainn from joining the battle, so he could only tell Zhang Jie through the mental link to keep a close eye on him and prevent any accidents from happening to him.

Then, using the excuse that close combat would inevitably result in being stained with black mud, he persuaded Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, who were influenced by Cu Chulainn and wanted to leave the battle, to return to their Nen shields.

On the other side, Black Saber Artoria Pendragon rested her hands on the black holy sword in front of her, which was tainted by cursed malice, and calmly watched as Luo Li, Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, and Li Shuaixi came to her.

Once the four were standing in front of her, Black Saber pulled the holy sword, which had been transformed into a demonic sword and was stuck in the ground, and pointed the tip of the sword at Luo Li and the others, saying, "Unexpected variables must be eliminated."

After saying this, Black Saber instantly exerted her strength, shattering the ground beneath her feet while wielding her demonic sword to slash at Luo Li, who was standing at the very front.

At the critical moment, Luo Li activated the Berserker Hercules class card, which had returned to her hands.

As the light of the dream summoning faded, Luo Li, who was only wearing a black tube top on her upper body and a black skirt armor on her lower body, with her skin still fair and rosy, held a stone blade about the same size as herself and blocked Black Saber's fatal blow.

Black Saber looked at Luo Li's familiar outfit and couldn't help but mutter, "Berserker?"

“That’s right, it’s Berserker. Surprise, surprise, surprise.” Luo Li used her strength advantage to force Black Saber to retreat repeatedly.

Meanwhile, Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, and Li Shuaixi seized the opportunity to launch a simultaneous attack, attempting to take down Black Saber in one fell swoop.

Even after turning to the dark and falling, Black Saber is still the battle-hardened King of Knights. She easily deflected the attacks of Zhan Lan and the others, and took the opportunity to break free from her struggle with Luo Li, creating distance between herself and the four before unleashing her Noble Phantasm.

"Excalibur Morgan!!!"

The black and red light cannon blasted into the faces of Luo Li and the other three almost instantly. The release speed of this treasure was many times faster than the original curry stick.

It's fair to say that the statement "three times stronger when corrupted" is an understatement; otherwise, Saber's Noble Phantasm, which originally required charging, couldn't be unleashed so easily. Fortunately, Luo Li and the others already knew that Black Saber could instantly unleash and repeatedly fire her Noble Phantasms.

To prevent her from prematurely unlocking her genetic lock with this move, Black Saber's instant-cast Noble Phantasm is very fast.

However, Luo Li and her three companions, who had already unlocked their genetic potential, were faster and narrowly dodged Black Saber's Noble Phantasm, seizing the opportunity to attack her once again.

After several exchanges, the battle began to develop in the direction that Luo Li least wanted to see. The four of them working together only managed to fight Black Saber to a draw.

Familiar recipe. Familiar taste. SB God.
During the battle, Luo Li, who was wielding a stone blade and engaging in close combat with Black Saber, sensed that the opponent's speed and strength were slowly increasing. After careful recollection, she confirmed that Black Saber did not have any skills or talents that allowed her to become stronger as the battle progressed.

For a moment, Luo Li couldn't understand why her opponent was constantly growing stronger in battle. It wasn't until Black Saber's skirt armor flew up due to the intensity of the battle that Luo Li saw black mud adhering to her leg armor, and only then did she realize why.

Luo Li immediately understood that she had to find a way to prevent Black Saber from contacting the black mud, otherwise the opponent would continue to strengthen itself like this.

So, Luo Li shouted loudly to Zhan Lan, "Zhan Lan, use your divine power to create a purification field to prevent Black Saber from coming into contact with the black mud!"

Upon hearing Luo Li's call, Zhan Lan remembered that her Hymn skill could not only fulfill Luo Li's request, but also provide additional attribute bonuses to her teammates.

Therefore, Zhan Lan immediately used the Hymn skill, which required her to continuously release it, and the golden halo quickly spread outwards from Zhan Lan as the center.

Wherever the halo reached, the black mud was completely dispelled. Luo Li, Zheng Zha, and Li Shuaixi, who were within the halo's range, clearly felt that their strength had been greatly enhanced, and the injuries they had sustained in the battle were also rapidly healing. At the same time, ethereal hymns echoed in their ears.

Realizing that Zhan Lan's hymn had the combined effects of the Courage Hymn and the Rebirth Hymn in the game, Luo Li immediately changed tactics.

"Li Shuaixi, you're in charge of protecting Zhan Lan. Zheng Zha, you and I will go together. Let's trade blows and finish this quickly!"

From the moment the Hymn Domain was created, the situation instantly reversed. After losing the powerful support of Black Mud, Black Saber could only defend against the enhanced Luo Li and Zheng Zha, and had no chance to attack.

After several more exchanges, Luo Li noticed something was wrong. Black Saber, who was inside the Hymn Domain, seemed to have no desire to fight and was only defending against her and Zheng Zha's attacks.

Normally, she should have found an opportunity to stop Zhan Lan, but Black Saber didn't, allowing the Hymn Domain to continuously weaken itself. When Luo Li's gaze met hers, she saw Black Saber's lips move, and judging from the shape of her mouth, it seemed like she was saying "take action".

What do you mean by "take action"? Do you mean we should kill you?
Luo Li's gaze sharpened. Relying on the Twelve Trials as a foundation, she allowed Black Saber's demonic sword to strike her, while she took the opportunity to use her stone blade to deliver a vicious blow to Black Saber.

As Luo Li had guessed, Black Saber's sword, though seemingly ruthless, inexplicably lost most of its power when it landed on her, failing to even break her skin.

Black Saber could have easily dodged his attack, but she deliberately pretended to be a beat too slow, causing him to suffer a severe injury.

6. This acting skill is truly worthy of someone who has become a champion.
