Chapter 6: Exile (2)
=====================================
As the Dark Light Sword absorbed the morning light, it suddenly erupted with an unparalleled brilliance.
Luo Ying’s pink figure darted through the air, sending flying projectiles that zipped toward the target, resembling those laser guns from ancient Tokusatsu shows, spinning and twisting like a dazzling flower blooming in the morning — too bad its tips were bristling with thorns.
It was the first time the Great King of the Split Land faced Luo Ying, and in no time at all, his head was left buzzing.
Luckily, his robust physique and exceptional recovery ability meant that even if he accidentally got hit by the projectiles sparked by the Dark Light Sword, he could bounce back almost instantly.
But overall, the Great King was clearly at a disadvantage.
Ling Xiaozu hadn’t made a move yet.
If Luo Ying managed to defeat the Great King, it would undoubtedly place a tremendous psychological burden on the enemy.
However, his only concern was how many more aces the Cold Moon Witch had up her sleeve, aside from the Great King.
Meanwhile, Ling Xiaozu’s hesitation gave Lin Nan some time to draw cards.
Feng Yalin not only racked up a ton of experience points, but she also scored big with both her Cold Value and Spirit Coins.
I mean, if the text had to display how much Cold Value she was raking in every time, readers would definitely complain about it being filler. But long story short, she made enough for ten draws!
[Ding! You have obtained one Platinum Card, three Gold Cards, four Silver Cards, and fifteen Bronze Cards!]
Help!
Why is my luck so terrible?!
After 100 chances, I only get one Platinum Card?!
With the lucky emperor absent, her card drawing skills were akin to wasting high Cold Value like tossing it into a pool!
But desperate times call for desperate measures. Facing the relentless Heavenly Sword Sect, she decided to go all out.
Don’t think just because you have the numbers that you’re invincible; I’ve got plenty of my own!
[Ding! Are you sure you want to summon all character cards at once? When two or more Platinum character cards are present in the same scene, it costs 100 Spirit Coins per additional card every minute.]
Lin Nan nearly choked on her own bl**d.
100 Spirit Coins per minute? That’s 6,000 Spirit Coins an hour for just one character card! If I want a few more? That’s a terrifying astronomical figure!
If she expanded her collection of high-end character cards, summoning them all at once would break the bank!
d*mn it, the system is trying to snatch back the Spirit Coins donated by the audience — it doesn’t want her enjoying even a single penny!
Pale-faced, she glanced at her card inventory.
At this moment, she had a total of five Platinum Cards (with Feng Yalin upgraded to Platinum), seven Gold Cards, thirteen Silver Cards, and thirty-four Bronze Cards.
In other words, if she wanted to summon all five Platinum Cards, aside from the two free ones, she’d need to shell out 18,000 Spirit Coins per hour for the remaining three.
Looking at her remaining over 500,000 Spirit Coins, her urge to d*e eased up a bit.
Since the system is playing hardball, don’t blame me for getting crafty.
Anyway, there are plenty of rich viewers; I’ll just grind a bit more and keep the cash flow steady!
Bring it on, my character cards!
……
As Luo Ying battled the Great King, she suddenly let out a delicate shout, and the Dark Light Sword instantly multiplied into four identical copies.
They flew up and hovered in four different corners of the sky.
Bathed in morning light, they began launching projectiles that looked like laser weapons at the target from various angles.
At that moment, the Great King found himself caught between a rock and a hard place.
Though incredibly strong, with every strike creating waves of force that felt like tsunamis, Luo Ying’s agile movements allowed her to avoid a head-on clash. Instead, she skillfully used the characteristics of the Dark Light Sword to trap her opponent in a tiny area, making escape impossible.
Finally, the Great King couldn’t hold on any longer.
He even took a hit from behind that pierced his shoulder while forcing some distance from Luo Ying.
bl**d sprayed out instantly, and even his healing abilities couldn’t stem the flow.
In a flash, the Great King’s face turned pale, and his legs buckled, forcing him down to one knee before Lin Nan.
“I’m defeated, please punish me, Your Majesty.”
With a swift motion, Luo Ying sheathed the Dark Light Sword, raising her chin slightly and fixing her gaze on the Cold Moon Witch floating alone in the air.
Last time in the Small Thousand World, she had refrained from clashing, fearing the witch’s might, which she now regretted.
Her long-awaited opponent was right in front of her; how could she let this chance slip by?
“Demoness, let’s settle this once and for all!”
Luo Ying announced coldly.
Ling Xiaozu remained inactive — to him, Luo Ying was just a test piece. If the demoness was truly alone, the Heavenly Sword Sect would deploy everything to capture her alive without stirring public unrest.
At this moment, Lin Nan locked eyes with Luo Ying.
Ha, if it weren’t for the sake of the male character, afraid he wouldn’t experience the joy of being with a woman before losing her, I would have smashed you to bits by now!
Though she hadn’t switched to the male character in ages, the system’s management had turned the male character increasingly indistinguishable from a real person, subtly making her feel like the male body didn’t belong to her anymore.
Or maybe it’s that she had gotten too used to this near-perfect female form; switching back into a male body felt absurd.
Ironically, when she first entered the game, she desperately wanted to break free from the constraints of her female body.
Now it looks like she can’t tell if her body changed her mindset or if her subconscious was always like this.
Ultimately, she really couldn’t go back to the past.
But that male character was quite interesting; quietly developing feelings for the Master Sister, but alas, their power levels were so mismatched that getting together was harder than climbing a mountain!
If Ling Xiaozu found out, his first reaction would be to kick the male character out of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
His prized disciple wouldn’t dare marry a loser. Forget about it!
The male character probably wouldn’t even wait for thirty years for a comeback; before he knows it, he’d be out there trying to show off again.
Luo Ying, “…”
Weird, why does that demoness look at him with a hint of pity, as if something terrible is about to happen to her?
Seeing the Cold Moon Witch remain silent, Luo Ying swung her Dark Light Sword, a blinding silver light gathering on the blade.
“Demoness! Are you afraid to answer?”
Just as her words fell, three twelve-member squads suddenly appeared overhead, blocking the Cold Moon Witch’s path.
“The Demon-Slaying Squad is late! Please forgive us, my lord!”
“The Demon Extermination Squad is late! Please forgive us, my lord!”
“The bl**d Killer Squad is late! Please forgive us, my lord!”
At that moment, the live streaming room erupted!
Holy smokes! Holy smokes!
The main force of Extermination of Immortals has finally made their entrance!
Wait a minute, why does that dog head among the Demon-Slaying Squad look a bit familiar…
……
ps: Please vote! I’m being chased by someone and can’t catch a break!
