With only thirteen people left in the hunting ground, the previously intense killcasts have been quiet this hour. Players in the viewing room watched as the field became more and more heated in the battle for victory and defeat, with ReturnToSimplicity taking two strong kills by one man, and going head-to-head with old rival CloudTraveller at the base of Valor Peak …… Of the matchups that erupted in multiple locations, one in particular stood out.

In the mountains south of Valor Peak, summoner Momo took on two physical swordsmen from the Mountainless Blade Sect.

Among Celestial Horizon professions, there are cold profession and popular professions, and Mountainless Blade Sect is the hottest profession in Celestial Horizon, especially the physical swordsman branch. The physical swordsman branch gather even more powerful physical swordsmen with a tenth place on overall evaluation list, who almost catch up with Spirit Sanctuary’s list leader FireworksAndLanterns points, so it can be seen that the physical swordsman genre, who can be squeezed into the top twenty have decent comprehensive strength! The two physical swordsmen are the best of the best in the physical swordsman genre.

And these two physical swordsmen, one is ranked ninth Mint Green, one is ranked fifteenth Sheep Ball.

[Mint Green and Sheepy Ball, strong rivals!]

[Does anyone know the level of these two? I don’t know much about the physical swordsman genre.]

[They’re at an upper-middle level, not as good as FirstUnderHeaven and Midnight Bell, but they’re still two strong opponents.]

The battlefield began to give the other players a generalization, there are many branches of the physical swordsman genre, including Mint Green known for fast attack physical swordsman fast sword flow, fast attack speed, fast movement speed, attack frequency can match the fastest attack speed assassin, to fast attack to grind blood to defeat the opponent. Sheep Ball is the opposite school, he is known for strong attack physical swordsman slow sword flow, attack speed is not fast, but the damage of a sword compared to the fast sword attack twice.

Fast and slow swords against a summoner at the same time, once the summoner was stalled by Mint Green, it was game over.

Just then, Mint Green moved first.

The two Physical swordsmen had come this way by accident, and upon realizing that their opponent’s profession was a summoner, they tacitly chose to deal with the strong enemy in front of them first. Although they couldn’t see each other’s IDs, the broadcast of FireworksAndLanterns being killed by ReturnToSimplicity had just appeared in the hunting grounds a short while ago, and combined with the total list announced before the final hunt opened, the only remaining Summoner in the entire field of thirteen now was the first place on the hunting list, Momo.

Rapid Sword’s attack speed was extremely fast, almost in an instant arriving in front of the Summoner.

His attacks landed hard on the Summoner’s lantern staff, and the attacks were overwhelming, immediately knocking down 90% of the Summoner’s blood in just a few seconds. Just as he was about to press down with a bang, the Summoner seized the slightest opportunity to release Soul Rabbit.

The nimble rabbit used his strength to jump up and fling an ear in Mint Green’s face, successfully stopping his attack streak.

Summoner’s body moved and two Summoned Beasts appeared at his side, immediately reversing the situation.

At this time, however, Sheep Ball followed, Slow Sword’s speed was slow, but once it got close it was horrendous damage. He wheeled his sword down, creating a long ditch in the muddy ground.

One person held back and one person attacked, striking a set of curated combos.

[Crap, Mint Green can do this wave, he’s giving Sheep Ball a chance.]

[That surely can’t be two people together, they aren’t special rights hunting players, two physical swordsmen together, the ones who get hurt first are their own people.]

Although the two physical swordsmen didn’t communicate too much, they cooperated exceptionally well.

Fast Sword Mint Green for control, Slow Sword Sheep Ball for output, their purpose was very clear, that is, to work together to solve the strong enemy in front of them first.

Inside the Valor Peak, the wind and rain hadn’t stopped, and the figures of the fighters didn’t stop.

The lone Summoner once again narrowly avoided Mint Green’s attack and seized the gap to summon a third summoned beast, at this time, his two control skills were applied, and so was Mint Green’s Rapid Sword skill, but Sheep Ball didn’t have it.

In terms of speed, his movement speed was no match for the physical swordsman in front of him, and in terms of attack damage, there’s another one eyeing him from behind.

The predicament of the double physical swordsman did not make the Summoner feel intimidated, but on the contrary, it made the exhausted Summoner rekindle his will to fight.

He watched the direction of the Rapid Sword’s attack, his boots stepping on the mud, his lithe form avoiding Mint Green’s attack like a swimming fish.

The time had already lasted a few hours, and the number of people in the hunting ground had quickly shrunk to seven from thirteen a few minutes ago. The number of people left on the field was limited, and there were three battles that broke out, with ReturnToSimplicity versus CloudTraveller, and the Summoner versus the double physical swordsmen being the most glaring highlights.

Inside the Desert Inn, ScarletFruit gouged at the edge of the table, nervously watching the scene in the hunting grounds.

“Crap, the results are in over there.” ClearWind said, “ChatMasterWu won, and now the only two sides left in the field are ReturnToSimplicity and Big Brother.”

ScarletFruit’s mood was in a flurry of emotions, “Help, that means even if my big brother finishes these two, the following opponents are ReturnToSimplicity, the best marksman, and ChatMasterWu, the best assassin?”

The others were evenly matched in the Hunting Ground, and Momo was even better, bumping into magical swordsman #1 FirstUnderHeaven and array master #1 Midnight Bell in the opening round. That’s not even close, but at the end of the day, to take first place, you have to go up against ReturnToSimplicity as well as ChatMasterWu, which aren’t that great!

ClearWind, “It can’t be helped, why don’t we let ChatMasterWu fight ReturnToSimplicity first?”

ScarletFruit couldn’t help but go to his side of the view, “Wait, are those two far away? Can they fight? Is there a break on my big brother’s side?”

ZenSlasher frowned slightly, “It’s not a good fight, these two physical swordsmen are cooperating ……” Halfway through her sentence, her voice suddenly stopped, “Something’s not right.”

The battle watchers also found something strange.

[Something’s wrong!]

[Summoner isn’t losing blood!]

[He didn’t lose blood under the attack of the Rapid Sword!]

Because two physical swordsmen attacking at the same time would cause both sides to lose blood, Mint Green and Sheep Ball were very careful to use a back-and-forth method of attacking, so that once one of them was controlled, the next one would take over. However, Momo, who had always used control to hit the combo, didn’t use damage in this game, but used a weird footwork to avoid damage under Mint Green’s attack the Rapid Sword, while his summoned beasts and spirit pets continued to output from a distance.

This kind of footwork was so weird that it wasn’t within Celestial Horizon’s basic footwork at all, but was more like the Summoner’s own technique.

Many of Celestial Horizon’s profession’s skills are very free, it gives the player a lot of creativity, it didn’t let the player stick to the skills set by the System, but rather developed the player’s personal synthesis, which made the weaker ones have a place, and made the stronger ones stronger, and also allowed the player to have an immersive and rich experience, where everything can be attacked and everything can be dodged.

For the physical swordsman and other melee professions, skill was a variety of melee sword tricks. Such sword tricks were divided into two kinds, one was a specific skill, that is, Sect skill gives you a good specification, the use of the sword will continue to output, the body handed over to the sword control. There is also a kind of player himself according to the different sword potential to play a combination of moves, so as to stimulate high output or control effect.

In the high end game of the hunting ground, the physical swordsmen used the second kind of moves more often, that is, their sword was all free, this kind of situation made judging the difficulty of their moves more difficult. And the Summoner body dynamic, sideways head, subtle movements but exposed a lot of details, like a flexible fish, constantly shuttled under the sword moves.

Rain cement ground, splashing a lot of water.

The Summoner’s underneath was very stable, did not give up resistance because of Mint Green’s attack, instead, while evading the sword moves, he utilized the summoned beasts to attack, and in a short period of time, in turn, caused Mint Green’s blood level to drop by 20%.

“You focus, I’ll help you fight the summoned beasts.”

Sheep Ball switched the target of its attack and turned to attack the summoned beasts.

However Mint Green’s blood level kept dropping down.

Control was summoner’s natural advantage, and now, without control, the Summoner was still in a position to fight.

[My god, he’s so light.]

[I recognize this! Last time I did a quest I came across an ancient Chinese puzzle that talked about the ancient Chinese Tai Chi.]

[Momo’s steps are very similar to Tai Chi steps.]

Inside the Desert Inn, ClearWind saw this scene and suddenly remembered when he first met momo in Newbie Village.

Floating a small wooden raft, the lithe teenager easily took control of the main area, and now in the top hunting ground arena, he once again saw this magical scene.

Su Mo completely forget the body’s fatigue, the soundness of the battle drove his senses extraordinarily sharp, he relied on the body’s instinct to avoid the attack, the nature of all things tend to avoid harm supplemented by footwork, coupled with holographic game attributes endowed on the player body talent, so that he broke through the boundaries of the physical.

The physical swordsman in front of him was indeed faster than him, to fight the speed of attack, to fight the speed of movement.

Su Mo admitted that he was indeed a little bit worse than the physical swordsman.

But this game was not completely regulated, and he was not completely bound. The physical attack power given by the game made him wield the lantern staff with a lot more strength, so he could fight with the strong physical player for a while; the special movement speed and agility attributes made the ordinary skills he performed countless times get a qualitative leap ……

Because this is a game, he can accomplish a lot of impossible things. And because it was a game, he could enjoy it without being troubled. At this point, Mint Green got anxious, he couldn’t attack the Summoner.

Su Mo seized the slightest opportunity, the summoned beast that had been dormant for a long time took the initiative to attack, the sudden stun caught the Sheep Ball that was outputting off guard, at the same time, the Summoner’s power had been built up for a long time, he took the initiative to counterattack, knocking physical swordsman Mint Green back a step.

The slow sword that was temporarily immobilized, the fast sword that was knocked back, their range was just right!

Su Mo caught the moment and released his next chaos skill at the same time that Slow Sword prudently didn’t choose to dispel, and the out-of-control Rapid Sword pummel arrived. The two physical swordsmen were not reckless, after being attacked by the chaos wave each other dropped a certain amount of blood, they decisively used their dispel skill, while using it continuously, they advanced towards the Summoner.

The Summoner, however, took the initiative to take a step back, and the Soul Rabbit at his side was replaced with Veil Wraith in an instant.

Maze! The illusion appeared suddenly, causing the two physical swordsmen, who had never seen this skill before, to be hit in an instant!

The players in the viewing room were stunned, they knew about the Summoner skill, but Mint Green and Sheep Ball didn’t.

They were surprised not by this skill, but by Summoner’s brilliant counterattack after he stoically retreated, he almost always stepped on the blade, resisting the fierce attack of the sword, choosing to retreat instead of counterattacking, letting the two rivals think that he was careless because of his weak attack, and the control skill he had been stoically holding back and not applying was actually setting up the two physical swordsmen the moment he applied it, first with stun and then with confusion, so that the slow sword Sheen Ball to take it lightly. ……

After that, in the most critical moment, released the only 30-second getaway skill [Mistborn].

For the unaware two physical swordsmen, in the case of using a dispel, encountered the trail of the first time into the chaos again. Due to the distance, they had to use dispel in order to avoid the confusion from accidentally injuring themselves. However, these illusions were not as simple as they thought.

To be in the middle of it was to be in the Summoner’s game.

The next situation was reversed on the spot.

The players in the viewing room watched the Summoner’s desperate comeback, utilizing the natural advantage of the [Mistborn] skill, as well as the original Black Tortoise, Snake, Bear and other summoned beasts that had been kept for a long time, to engage the two physical swordsmen in a fierce battle in just 30 seconds.

The blood level dropped little by little, and the battle between the three of them became more and more intense.

The skills of the Control, Decontrol, and Chaos …… group were used in a staggered manner.

Finally–

[Momo successfully killed Mint Green!]

[Momo successfully kills Sheep Ball!]

A brilliant 1v2, the Summoner topped off with a meager 3% blood, and crumpled to his knees in the wind and rain.

“OMG, I have goosebumps!”

“Help, he’s so strong!!!”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen someone fight a counterattack in a pinch like a physical swordsman, absolutely amazing!”

“Did this guy really used to play PvE? It’s really too bad he doesn’t come to play PvP!!!”

……

Su Mo could feel his heartbeat accelerating, his afterglow glimpsing the alert value just short of the last few dozen points.

Relax Su Mo, this is a game, don’t get excited or nervous.

The hunting ground isn’t over, you can still continue.

……

Alert value stopped, Su Mo’s brimming heat was getting fuller and fuller, and he couldn’t even tell whether it’s his body or an illusion of over-excitement..

After a long time, he stood up with his lantern staff and looked towards the only time and number of people left in the hunting ground.

It was at this time that two announcements popped up in front of him a few seconds apart.

[Blast! ReturnToSimplicity has successfully killed CloudTraveller!]

[Blizzard! ReturnToSimplicity has successfully killed ChatMasterWu!]

[Hunting ground player2/100, special hunting player NPC 125/500, countdown to special hunting time: 00:05:25]

This hunting ground, only he and ReturnToSimplicity were left.

[Crap what’s going on, I didn’t look for just a moment, CloudTraveller and ChatMasterWu are gone?]

[CloudTraveller died in battle, ChatMasterWu was sent to his death.]

[I know, ChatMasterWu tried to take the head of ReturnToSimplicity while he was still bleeding, but ReturnToSimplicity killed him.]

[So isn’t that next! ReturnToSimplicity versus Momo!]

[Guys, I’m getting excited already!]

[Wait …… there’s five minutes left in the special hunt and 125????? Average brush around two people???]

The wind and rain at Valor Peak seemed to have slowed down, Su Mo stood holding onto a tree, his eyes resting on the 125 people in the hunting ground special hunting rights, fatigue gripping him as he held onto the tree to stand still before continuing onward towards his destination.

More important than having a head-to-head fight with his friend, it was more important to get through the 125 people’s pursuit with special hunting rights first.

With the last three minutes left, the hearts of everyone in the viewing room were raised.

In the shadows of the mountains and forests, ReturnToSimplicity’s figure appeared in Su Mo’s vision.

At the same time, Yu Zhen also saw the Summoner not far ahead.

He knew this place, the south mountain of Valor Peak, the most frequent location for them to brush monsters in the wild.

The Summoner was covered in wounds, but his back was straight and his eyes were filled with fervor.

They had come to each other after a grueling and fierce battle.

“There are still three minutes left, we still have time to think of a way to escape.” Su Mo looked at him, his voice, which had not spoken for a long time, was a bit raspy, but carried a few hints of relief, “It was too fast to enter the field, I didn’t see the message you sent me.”

Yu Zhen put away his weapon, “No need to run for your life, there is an easier way.”

Su Mo’s brain was slightly sluggish and didn’t quite understand what he was saying.

“PK is in no hurry.” The Array master’s voice was as calm and reliable as ever as he said briefly, “Momo, we can change places.”

As he finished speaking, the storm around him seemed to stop.

Just then, a System announcement popped up in front of him-

[Hunting Groundplayer1/100, Special Hunt Players NPC 125/500, Countdown to opening of Special Hunt time: 00:01:20]

[The final hunt is over, congratulations to player Momo for becoming the first Valor Peak Hunting Ground Overlord.]

Su Mo’s eyes are slightly stunned as the smooth alert value suddenly jumps above the required value, and a fierce alarm bell suddenly rings.
