[These humans are truly trash.] Ning Bi also suddenly posted a screenshot of her being surrounded by zerg units.
Su Tianji asked, [You came to this part as well?]
Nalan Mingxue chimed in, [I just finished the battle. I can’t carry these humans.]
Xun Yuan typed, [Have you noticed that most of the people in this game look like the western barbarians?]
While people talked about the plot of StarCraft in the group chats, some people had come to the battle which signaled the end of the plot about the Terrans and the beginning of the story about the emergence of the Queen of Blades of the Zerg.
In the Yuanyang City Shop, players began the multiplayer mode.
On the screen, a 2 vs 2 battle had begun; the two parties were Gu Tingyun and Wang Xie vs Zong Wu and Tang Yu.
A group of people watched the match from behind.
“This game doesn’t only test your strategies and tactics. Watch carefully!” Gu Tingyun looked more experienced after being defeated and ‘tortured’ by the shop owner several times. On the screen, two archons (white balls) and four high templars were attacking Zong Wu’s Protoss base under the protection of several zealots and dragoons.
There was a river that had a width of several dozens of meters before the base, and several photon cannons stood on the bridge.
“The strong suit of Protoss is splitting the mind and multitasking.” The two archons that he controlled shot apart the light shield of one photon cannon with two sharp psionic shockwaves.
Then, the four high templars formed an array as if they knew each other’s mind; a psionic storm instantly engulfed a large area before them.
Meanwhile, something concealed in the darkness moved swiftly in the base, creating violent gales.
“The Protoss units connect with each other with the psionic link, which makes each unit our eyes.” The archon appeared as if it had eyes on the back of its head; it suddenly turned around and shot a huge psionic shockwave toward a prior blind spot.
A dark shadow flashed – dark templar!
The saber energies hacking toward the high templars slipped and shattered the energy shields but missed the high templars behind; this wasn’t lethal.
“Oh My Goodness!” The audience exclaimed from behind.
Meanwhile, several zealots surrounded them.
These newly-trained Protoss soldiers only had the lowest level of strength, but when they were controlled by Zong Wu, a warrior whose strength was close to the Emperor Warrior Realm, their strength almost reached the hero level!
Moving with weird steps, they dodged the surrounding of the enemy units and broke the enemies’ energy shields with sharp blades. Immediately, several enemy zealots died under the psi-blades.
In the next moment, groups of zealots dashed toward Gu Tingyun’s army.
At least six of the zealots were much more powerful than the others. One of them even dodged the psionic shockwave from an archon and got close to it.
Zong Wu said, “This game can hone your sense of strategy, but it is also effective and powerful training for your mental energy.”
The six zealots under Zong Wu’s control obviously received less damage compared to others while slashing their blades from all kinds of impossible angles; it was a thrilling sight.
While controlling the archons, Gu Tingyun quickly issued many commands, directing the reinforcements to move the high templars to another spot by the shuttle aircraft. It was a fast, lightning-like raid. The operations were smoothly done in one breath.
Obviously, these grand cultivators were fast learners and had become very strong at least in operations and micromanagement.
Even Mr. Fang was surprised while he watched from behind. This old guy can operate so fast after playing only for a short time! How did he do that… Damn! Aren’t his hands going to slip?
“Auch! My high templars fell into the river!” The swift, stroke-like operations stopped, and he slammed his hand on his thighs while yelling in regret.
“…”
The audience watched as the high templars that fell into the river struggled, and their lips twitched.
Gu Tingyun’s old face turned dark. “Anyway, this game is very helpful to strengthen your mental energy.”
…
“Haa—!” In his room on the second floor, Mr. Fang stretched while the scene before his eyes changed.
Before him stood a young man; he wore a purple-gold crown and had a dark purple sword in his hand.
He’s the Jing Tian who has defeated the Evil Sword Immortal in the second act of the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3; maybe I can try fighting him. Mr. Fang tightened his grip on his sword while staring at his opponent intently.
He could feel his opponent’s sharp sword spirit. The sword techniques that Jing Tian used were a little bit rough around the edges, but he moved like a grandmaster.
Fang Qi’s sword techniques had become even more sophisticated. His style was a mixture of techniques from both the east and the west. The eastern techniques came from the Shu Mountain Faction and Wu Ming’s heavenly sword, which were elegant and deep; the western techniques included Dante’s double-handed sword moves which were broad yet nimble.
The sword energies collided, and they exchanged dozens of attacks in an instant. The mountains on both sides were hacked open, and boulders rolled down with debris.
“He’s getting stronger and stronger…” With a grim expression, Fang Qi continued to block the sword energies that were as swift as lightning flashes.
…
The clouds in the sky dimmed; huge turbid waves surged up.
The sky above the shore of the Heavenly Abyss Sea turned from sunny to darkness in the blink of an eye; it seemed like it was another world.
Someone seemed to be whispering in the shadows in the sky.
“That person… that came from the other side of the Heavenly Abyss Sea was found?”
“It is another cycle…”
“Zixiao is dead. Does the Jiang Family want to touch the forbidden area now?”
“He killed the Nangong Family’s sword slaves and broke the Immortal-Hacking Sword Array.”
“The ability to understand the basic laws. The thing that that bunch of prisoners have been craving for might have appeared.”
“Indeed. Only with this ability could one instantly kill sword slaves.”
“That person seems to have re-established the connections between the places separated by the Heavenly Forbidden Zones; he did what Zixiao had done before.”
“Kill him! We must cut off any connections with the place inside the Heavenly Forbidden Zones.”
“Regardless of how powerful he is, he can’t get away from us.”
“No… We don’t need to show our hands.”
The small town on the shore of the Heavenly Abyss Sea was silent. Despite the huge sounds of the surging ocean waves, the people of the town seemed to be in a deep slumber. Right now, two figures standing on the cliff seemed to be whispering to each other about something.
“Nangong Lin of the Heaven-Seeking Sword Palace is getting more arrogant.”
“After all, those few broken swords in the Nangong Family are going to wake up…”
“This is their best opportunity to conquer and unite all seven ancient families; they won’t let it pass.”
“Maybe, we can nudge them toward it a bit faster.”
“Good idea.”
“…”
The voices turned faint and distant, and the two figures vanished in the light wind and thin clouds in the sky as if nothing had happened.
