Chapter 45, Tilt Tactics

"It's our turn to fight back!" Chen Hao's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a sharp blade cutting through the air.

He mounted his horse, his Haijin War Bow already fully drawn, the arrow tip trembling slightly, like a hungry beast poised to pounce.

The beasts galloped up, their iron hooves pounding the ground, carrying Chen Hao as they raced around the edge of the arena!

"What is he doing? Did he run away?"

"No, it's about creating distance, a primitive mounted archery tactic!" On the instructor's seat, Dean Xiao's eyes flashed with admiration.

Not being greedy for attacks, not being reckless, knowing where your strengths lie, knowing that you can't withstand mid-level magic head-on, keeping your distance, and using highly mobile summoned beasts and ranged firepower to fight a guerrilla war—this is textbook-level combat.

And at this moment——

"Looking for you." Chen Hao's gaze swept across the area and suddenly locked onto Zheng Ke, the lightning mage on the outermost edge who was focused on gathering star charts!
call out! !

An arrow suddenly burst forth, accompanied by thunder, tearing through the sky!
Zheng Ke's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly interrupted his spellcasting and urgently summoned his shield magic tool to protect himself. However, his reaction was far inferior to Li Kaifeng's. Before the magic tool could fully manifest, the sea gold arrow had already pierced through the air and approached, stopping less than ten centimeters from his chest!
boom! ! !
A deafening roar exploded, and the light barrier trembled violently under the impact of the arrows. The dim protective barrier barely managed to block the fatal blow!
Zheng Ke's face was pale as he looked at the constantly trembling and whistling arrows, as if he had just walked through the gates of hell!

If the referee hadn't intervened immediately, the arrow would likely have pierced right through him, killing him instantly!
Naturally, Zheng Ke was the first to be eliminated.

The entire audience was completely silent, then erupted into a thunderous roar of exclamations!
Holy crap! Instant kill!

"What kind of bow is this? Why does it seem to harbor such malice towards humanity?"

On the dueling platform, Chen Hao remained calm, simply uttering, "The first one."

The moment the words left his mouth, the ground suddenly trembled!
While Chen Hao was drawing his bow and shooting arrows, concentrating his firepower, the other three had already completed their star maps!

"—Ice Lock, Ice Chains!"

Bai Xinyu's ice-type star map suddenly unfolded, and as the chill swept through, seven or eight crystal-clear ice locks broke through the air, striking like venomous snakes, directly targeting the limbs of the bull-horse beast and the joints of Chen Hao's entire body, binding him with every move!
"—Rock Barrier·Phosphorus Stone!"

Mu Baixing pressed his palm to the ground, and the brown star map spread out like veins. The ground shook with a rumble, and countless rocks with spikes suddenly rose from the ground, trying to cut off the movement of the bull-horse beast and force it into a dead end!

At this moment, Li Kaifeng, who had been injured by Chen Hao's arrow, reappeared!
Hidden in some unknown corner, the wind howls and shadows slither like snakes.

"Wind Disk Tornado!"

The wind-elemental star map flashed by, transforming into a raging tornado several meters high!
The tornado seemed to possess its own will, bypassing the ice locks and rock barriers, and crashing straight down on Chen Hao from the sky!
Amidst howling winds, shattering ice chains, and collapsing earth and shattering rocks, the three joined forces, their offensive sweeping in like a tidal wave, finally forming a true encirclement for the first time!

The entire audience was so tense they could barely breathe.

"Is it over? There's no way to avoid this now, is it?"

Even beasts like oxen and horses can't fly!

"This is what a mid-level mage's combined attack looks like!"

However, everyone overlooked one thing: Chen Hao was never a proper summoner!

His greatest strengths were, of course, his powerful physique and his heavy armor.

Since we can't avoid it, then we won't avoid it.

The lightning mage has been struck by an arrow and is out of the game, and Ding Yumin hasn't been able to cast a second mid-level spell yet. The remaining ice, wind, and earth elements are simply not enough to pose a fatal threat!

—Then why are you hiding?
Instead of retreating, he advanced, gripping his greatsword tightly with both hands, and plunged headfirst into the ice lock released by Bai Xinyu!

"Are you crazy?!" Bai Xinyu's pupils shrank, and he exclaimed in disbelief.

The next moment, a wave of cold swept over me, and ice enveloped me!

But Chen Hao seemed to have been prepared—

boom! !

His battle aura surged wildly, and the blue light on his armor suddenly exploded, condensing into a blazing protective battle aura storm!

"—Battle Qi Explosion!" He roared like thunder, and his giant sword slashed down fiercely!
Click! !
The first ice lock shattered on the spot, sending icy crystals flying everywhere!

Bai Xinyu was startled. What kind of strange strength was this?

He gritted his teeth, manipulating more ice chains to swing at Chen Hao, preparing to strangle him to death. "Come on, I refuse to believe I can't trap you!"

"Keep going!" Chen Hao gritted his teeth and roared, his feet exerting force like thunder, his momentum growing stronger, and the second, third and fourth ice locks shattered with a deafening roar!

Like a berserk demon god, he broke through the formation and escaped despite the magical suppression of the three!

At the same time, a gust of wind swept in, and a tornado struck!

Chen Hao didn't even lift his eyelids. His battle aura still covered his entire body, and his armor was as solid as a mountain as he charged straight at Chen Hao.

If it were fire or lightning, he would absolutely not dare to play like that.

But wind-type attacks are like scratching a wound; with this set of sea gold armor protecting him, he'll accept it if it breaks through his defenses! As for being swept away?

With all the gear on, he weighs nearly 700 pounds. With such a small volume of force, you can roll him up.

The mid-level earth-elemental magic, Rock Barrier, is purely a defensive spell. It's fine for forcibly restricting the movement of beasts, but using it for attack is rather ridiculous.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

An invisible tornado, its body made of dust, swirled and roared above the arena, swirling up broken ice crystals and flying pebbles, as if it wanted to tear the heavens and the earth apart!

Li Kaifeng sneered and muttered, "The wind is already in place. Let's see how you resist this time."

However, his smile froze the next moment.

The tornado struck Chen Hao, instantly engulfing him. The gale tore at his armor, and dust lashed against the armor plates with a crackling sound, but Chen Hao remained motionless, standing like a cast iron tower!
"That's it?"

He whispered softly, took a step out of the tornado, and actually went against the wind. His battle aura was so real that it protected his body like a membrane, blocking all the wind force.

"Are you giving me gua sha? Thank you."

"It's my turn."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Hao suddenly stomped on the ground, and amidst the flying debris, he forcefully broke out of the center of the whirlwind!

Suddenly, a mental disturbance struck. It was obvious that it was Ding Yumin. However, Chen Hao was completely unaffected. This level of mental interference was difficult to even affect a berserk demon; it could only interrupt the mage's spellcasting.

It was completely useless against a savage like him.

"cut!!!"

The boiling killing intent dispelled the complex mental influences. He raised the Sea Gold Greatsword high above his head, and the fierce wind howled behind him. But he descended like a god and suddenly slashed down in anger towards Li Kaifeng!

"This is impossible!"

Li Kaifeng's pupils shrank suddenly, his face filled with terror. He dared not use Shadow Step to dodge, fearing that he would be exposed by the light again. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and activate the armor on his body, crossing his arms to protect himself.

"Black Crystal Armor!"

He roared, and his entire obsidian armor lit up rapidly, enveloping him in a semi-transparent, arc-shaped energy shield. The armor instantly provided complete coverage, making it a double-protective shield!
The next second—

boom! ! ! !

Chen Hao's sword struck the protective barrier, unleashing a torrent of battle energy that produced a deafening roar!

The surface of the shield rippled like water, then twisted violently, and finally succumbed to intense pressure—

boom! ! !
Completely shattered!

"puff!"

Li Kaifeng only had time to brace himself for a moment before he was blasted away, spitting out blood. He tumbled seven times in mid-air before crashing heavily to the ground. His armor cracked, and his breath caught in his throat; he had completely lost his fighting ability!
