"What... what is going on?!"
As countless shadows bound the Slaughter in mid-air, everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.
Even Wang Yu and the others showed unexpected expressions.
Although they knew that Ling Longng might have been plotting against the Slaughter, they did not expect her to possess such a powerful trick.
"Hehe!"
At that mont, Ling Longng calmly laughed, "For a master like you, a single trap won't do! If I wanted to escape, do you really think you could catch ?"
"I see, truly worthy of Old ng!"
Upon hearing Ling Longng's words, Fearless imdiately realized what was happening and sincerely gave a thumbs-up to Ling Longng.
Indeed, a top master like the Slaughter couldn't be caught with just one or two traps; a much larger trap was necessary to completely ensnare him.
After level sixty, archers have a range of up to thirty ters, which ans Ling Longng's clone arrow can displace up to thirty ters.
If Ling Longng truly wanted to escape, that single displacent of thirty ters would likely an no one could catch her. The reason she was closely followed by the Slaughter was that she was luring him step by step into her traps.
If Fearless guessed correctly, each landing point of Ling Longng's displacent must have been rigged with traps.
At that mont, the system's cara zood in on one of the spots where Ling Longng had landed.
As expected, at her landing point, an arrow was embedded in the ground, and the shadow that bound the Slaughter extended from that arrow.
"Goodbye!"
Looking at the bound Slaughter, Ling Longng casually snapped her fingers!
At the sa ti, a circular mark appeared beneath both Ling Longng and the Slaughter.
The difference was that Ling Longng's mark was white with the words "Life Gate" written on it, while the Slaughter's mark was black with the words "Death Gate."
"Boom!!!"
In an instant, flas erupted, and the arrows surrounding Ling Longng and the Slaughter exploded simultaneously.
Sixty-four arrows detonated at eight different positions, and the flas rapidly spread along the black shadow to engulf the Slaughter.
From the audience's perspective, viewing from above, the explosion ford a gigantic Bagua (a symbol from Chinese philosophy).
Above Ling Longng's head appeared a line of text—Awakening: Eight Gates Shadow Killing Formation.
Ling Longng was a full-intelligence archer, and her magical damage was comparably high, rivaling that of ordinary mages.
Not to ntion sixty-four explosive traps; even if she cast sixty-four Fireball spells, she could easily annihilate any opponent, so the Slaughter's fate was obvious.
The Slaughter, standing on the Death Gate, had no chance to struggle and was instantly obliterated by the terrifying explosion.
As the audience looked on in astonishnt, the system announced that the first match was won by the team of Crowd of Misfits's Ling Longng.
"No wonder we've never seen this move before; it turns out to be an awakening skill. Its power is simply astounding..."
Seeing the skill na above Ling Longng's head, the mbers of Crowd of Misfits were both surprised and delighted.
Awakening skills are typically not used lightly by players.
What surprised everyone was that Ling Longng's awakening skill was so terrifying, far surpassing the effects, control, and lethality of ordinary players' awakening skills.
Even awakening skills usually only bring opponents to the brink of death, but Ling Longng's skill managed to obliterate a top Warrior, demonstrating its incredible output.
"It's natural for its power to be so strong!"
At this mont, Wang Yu stroked his chin and said, "With such a complex awakening skill, it would be abnormal if its power were average."
"That... Old Bull has a point."
Hearing Wang Yu's words and reflecting on Ling Longng's actions during the skill release, everyone nodded in agreent.
The Eight Gates Shadow Killing Formation seed ostentatious in sound and effect, but the arrangent of sixty-four traps was overly complicated. Without the advantage of terrain, Ling Longng might not have been able to set up such a grand skill, and it was clear that this skill was designed for large-scale ambushes, making its hit rate in one-on-one situations quite low.
After all, unless in special circumstances, no fool would jump into such a large trap; the Slaughter fell for Ling Longng's sche simply due to carelessness and a lack of understanding of his opponent.
A skill with such a low hit rate and a complicated casting process would have likely caused Ling Longng to delete her account if its power were not outstanding.
...
After the Slaughter was explosively defeated, the second player from the Holy Hall team entered the arena.
The second player, nad Greed, was quite short and wielded a dagger, clearly indicating that he was an assassin.
Greed was not as renowned as the other experts from the Holy Hall team; on the contrary, he had a youthful appearance, clearly a novice. However, being included in the main team of the Holy Hall suggested that his strength should not be underestimated.
After all, experts like Cthulhu were rely second-string substitutes in the Holy Hall team.
The reason the second match was called a wheel battle was that the winner from the first match would not have their state refreshed.
This ant that, at this mont, Ling Longng not only had her skills still on cooldown but also had not recovered any health or mana.
At the start of the first match, Ling Longng had taken two skills from the Slaughter, leaving her with only two-thirds of her health, and after jumping around to set up the Eight Gates Shadow Killing Formation, she had cast over sixty traps and clone arrows, which naturally depleted her mana.
Ling Longng's strength was already not on par with top experts.
Assassins are a class that is extrely effective against archers, and given Ling Longng's current state, the outco of the match was entirely predictable.
Compared to the spectacular performance of Ling Longng leading her opponent into traps in the first match, the second match seed much simpler.
As soon as the match began, Greed activated stealth and swiftly approached Ling Longng from behind for a backstab, and within a single round, Ling Longng was killed and sent off the field.
Indeed, the second match was that straightforward; the audience initially thought Ling Longng had left so traps and waited for a plot twist, but the system had already announced the end of the second match.
"Damn!"
Such an abrupt and anticlimactic match had the audience exclaiming in frustration.
Even Greed, standing in the arena, looked sowhat baffled.
What was up with this archer? Wasn't she incredibly powerful during the first match? How could she be defeated so easily? This didn't make sense.
Of course, this seemingly nonsensical scene was perfectly logical for Ling Longng.
Like most Quan Zhen Sect players, Ling Longng had a pragmatic personality... As soon as Greed entered the arena, Ling Longng calculated the probabilities, and the results indicated that both her chances of winning and escaping were zero.
Since there was no hope of victory, Ling Longng naturally would not struggle futilely like a protagonist in a youthful manga; compared to that, simply dying and leaving the field was much simpler.
