Chapter 7012 Entering the Finale
"Hey, isn't this Old Ma? You've been carried out too?" As soon as Ma Ye woke up, a group of people surrounded him. After all, Ma Ye was a top figure among the veterans and had quite good command ability, making him a truly outstanding person.
"I was killed by arrows, damn it!" Ma Ye cursed as soon as he woke up. "That son of a bitch Zhang Zhong, that son of a bitch Si Liang, damn it!"
Ma Ye has a wide network of connections, so he can identify several acquaintances just from the arrow wound on his head.
"Ah, killed by archers? That shouldn't be the case. Aren't you from the Yueqi? "The Yueqi are known for their excellent airflow control to defend against arrows, aren't they? And I remember you, Matou, also have many ways to deal with arrows."
“Even if the Yue cavalry is the opposite of archers, it doesn’t mean I can withstand eight shots!” Ma Ye said with a dark face. He originally thought it would only be three or four shots. He could rely on airflow control to withstand them and then deflect one or two. Even if he took one shot, he wouldn’t die. After all, he had a healer. As long as he didn’t die, Feng Ke, a divine military doctor who could create cell-level linkages, could quickly heal him.
As a result, with Bi Laoliu taking the blame, Ma Ye got eight sticks stuck in his throat!
Damn, can this hold out? Forget about the cavalry's counter to archers, it's completely useless, they'll just die!
"I also took four arrows." Bi Laoliu woke up, his face as black as the bottom of a pot. He originally thought that with his dynamic vision, he could see clearly and definitely dodge them. But what happened was that one arrow had no trajectory at all and directly pierced Bi Laoliu's forehead, killing him instantly.
Damn, where's the trajectory? Even without a trajectory, it's still an arrow!
"Is there something wrong with you two? Why are you rushing into the sky?" Zhang Yong pointed to his temple and asked curiously. Even Zhang Yong didn't dare to fly too high. Moreover, whenever he had to fly to an extremely high position to unleash the Sky-Piercing Spear, Zhang Yong would deliberately use light and shadow to conceal himself. But these two just rushed in. They're really brave!
"Stop talking nonsense. When I came out, I had 130,000 points. How many points do you have?" Ma Ye was not polite to Zhang Yong at all. Unlike other guys who might be wary of Zhang Yong, Ma Ye was not wary at all. If he couldn't beat someone and wanted to run away, he could really fly, and he was incredibly fast. There were a few veterans from the three great empires that Ma Ye couldn't beat, but there were basically none who could stop him.
As for Huang Tao and Su Zong, well, Su Zong contributed 90,000 of Ma Ye's 130,000 points. The reason Ma Ye chased after Su Zong to kill him was because Su Zong's cost-effectiveness was too high.
It's important to understand that the Grand Martial Arts Competition is essentially a points-based tournament. Although there were many amusing incidents along the way, involving demons and Huns, the rankings were still based on points.
The Xiongnu were awarded no points, but were directly given titles. The Demon Gods were awarded half points, meaning that only an eighth-level Demon God was worth 10,000 points. Eighth-level Demon Gods were very difficult to deal with. Ma Ye encountered one and, together with Han Duan, it took a lot of effort to kill it.
Su Zong can earn 10,000 points for killing one of them, which is extremely cost-effective and much more efficient than killing others. You should know that killing a level 6 fusion cultivator only earns 5,000 points, and killing a level 5 fusion cultivator only earns 2,000 points.
Therefore, Ma Ye chased after Su Zong to kill in the later stages, and didn't bother killing those low-scoring monsters at all, since some of them were just too much of a dreg!
Jiang Guang and Zhao Ying are only at the third level of refining. If they kill these two dung monsters by themselves, they can get a total of 1,000 points. Then there's Brannis, who is at the fourth level of refining. After opening his father's gift, he will have the combat power of the seventh level, which is worth 1,000 points. Then there's Qi Xiu, who only got 2,000 points because he met Wang Mao, who doesn't care about points. He surpassed Wang Mao's will.
Incidentally, Zhang Huang, Guang Yuan, and Wang Mao are all considered "dung monsters." The first two are at the sixth level, excluding those with false oaths, while Wang Mao is calculated as a seventh level.
This is a classic example of something you should absolutely avoid doing if you encounter it on the street!
Conversely, it's actually very difficult to get points. Even someone like Zhang Yong only accumulated about 70,000 to 80,000 points. That was only because he killed a few tough guys, then fell into the sinkhole, and later released the consciousness of the equipment. After winning, he had to give the equipment points.
So when Ma Ye retorted with that sentence, Zhang Yong had no answer. In terms of points alone, he was no match for Ma Ye, since Ma Ye really did have a points-farming device.
"130,000 points?" Wei Shuang was shocked. How did they manage to get so many? Even killing a demon god wouldn't give you that many. Killing a sixth-level demon god would take more than twenty of them. This is too incredible!
“At least I killed the Xiongnu chieftain, what about you?” Zhang Yong said unhappily.
"I'm just unlucky. I only ran into one Xiongnu cavalry commander. Send your chieftain over here, and see if I can kill him." Ma Ye said irritably.
“Maybe you really can’t kill that guy,” Zhang Yong said after thinking for a moment. Helian Tuomiao’s strength was a bit too much. Of course, Ma Ye couldn’t kill Helian Tuomiao, and Helian Tuomiao couldn’t do anything to Ma Ye either.
"Huh?" Ma Ye was taken aback. He acknowledged Zhang Yong's strength and knew that the other party was not someone who talked nonsense, so he was immediately filled with doubt.
Zhang Yong explained the mechanism that Chen Xi had told Ma Ye and the others. The others thought it was bizarre, but Lao Liu listened with great interest and felt that he could develop it in this direction. Although the two kinds of intentions were not similar at all, it didn't matter. As long as it was called intention, it could be used as a reference.
"Can you kill him?" Wei Shuang nudged Sun Er with his elbow and asked.
“It didn’t work before, but it does now.” Sun Er glanced at Wei Shuang and said, “However, it is indeed a bit troublesome. Zhang Er’s final choice of a super-large-scale attack was clearly the right one.”
"So troublesome, thank goodness it wasn't me who encountered it." Yin Luo smacked his lips and said. Based on Zhang Yong's description, Yin Luo felt that if he encountered the situation, he would most likely lose.
"I've taken a look, and there aren't many brothers left still in the small world," Mu Yan, who had barely emerged from his period of self-isolation, said to everyone after coughing twice.
"Because some guys get carried away and kill anything they encounter, it's practically clearing out the area." Han Tong glanced at Zhang Yong and said. Then the older guys present looked at Zhang Yong and Qi Xiu, both of whom were typical examples of people who relied on their supermodel strength to wreak havoc in the small world.
Most importantly, these two are so entertaining that even elite warriors and demon gods can't stop them. When they unleash their full power, they are among the best in the world of one-on-one combat.
“However, the guys who have survived until now are basically tough guys, or they’re just incredibly lucky.” Chen Hong glanced at the five students from Sanhe who were squatting together and said in a somewhat unclear tone.
"Are there any Roman veterans left inside?" Zhang Yong asked Wu Xi, who seemed quite familiar with the Roman veterans.
"Many were eliminated, but the tough ones are still in there," Wu Xi replied casually.
"Over on the Kushan side, Zena and Anada were cut down by Brother Zhang, leaving only Boneley and Kuil among the Seventh Rank." Yin Luo gave the answer without Zhang Yong even needing to ask.
However, at that moment, Zhang Liang got up with a smile on his face.
"Hey, looks like Brother Zhang is in a good mood." Zhang Yong could tell from the restless energy in Zhang Liang's eyes as he stood up that Zhang Liang had made great progress.
"I have achieved the breakthrough of willpower." Zhang Liang said slowly. He was only one step away from breaking through the limit of willpower. Before that, he met a very suitable opponent, namely Kuyel. Both of them were strength types, both had bodies of steel, and both had the habit of crushing their opponents with physical qualities and strength. When they met, the fight was extremely fierce.
The final outcome was a lose-lose situation, but Zhang Liang was able to die a little later.
"That was awesome!" On the other side, Kuyle sat up and said with a hint of excitement. The hidden light in his eyes made Zena and Annada, who were drinking tea and eating snacks in their chairs, notice the change in Kuyle. The fluctuation of his will had stabilized to the point of breaking through the limits of will.
"You encountered Wang Heng and killed him?" Ananda asked with some curiosity.
“I encountered him, but couldn’t catch up. He was entangled by a Roman. I wanted to catch up and fight him again, but I ran into Zhang Liang on the way. He and I have the exact same talent structure. We died together. In the last move, I successfully controlled and integrated every strand of power in my body.” Kuyel stood up and said, while picking up his tea and chugging it down.
"Did you kill any Xiongnu?" Zena asked, half-paralyzed. When Zhang Yong was carried out, the talents that had been confiscated were returned. Zena was speechless—if Zhang Yong could be killed in his condition, what else was there to say? Let's talk about the princess instead.
"I killed three, but I felt that two of the Huns were strange. The leader was only at the fifth level, and I just blew him up." Kuyel said casually, "After that, I wanted to find more Huns, but I couldn't find them. It didn't seem like there was any point in looking for the Demon God, so I went to find Wang Heng instead."
"Not bad. The Grand Martial Arts Competition is almost over. What are your plans next?" Ananda suddenly asked. The return of the God of Knowledge made him vaguely aware of something, so when he spoke, he gave Zena and Kuyel a hint in his eyes.
Veterans who reach the seventh level are all battle-hardened. Even if they are confused, they can at least perceive their teammates' hints. At most, they may not understand what Ananda's hint meant.
However, when it came to the topic of Anadati, although Kuyel and Zena didn't quite understand the reason, they were willing to speak from their hearts.
“My next plan is to wait until the Han court assembly ends, then formally pay homage to the princess as a descendant of the Five Marquises, before returning to the Kushan Empire. After that, I will fight to the death for His Majesty Vasudeva I and General Oswin. In any case, the news of the final battle has already been confirmed. I am prepared to go all out, to fulfill my loyalty and righteousness. If I die after the battle, it will be a worthy sacrifice for the Kushan Empire. If I survive, I will come to serve the princess, which will be a worthy sacrifice for the Yuezhi.” Anada spoke his mind before Kuir and Zena could speak.
At this moment, a large number of Kushan nobles watched this scene from behind the screen. The Yuezhi nobles did not find anything wrong with Anada's direct expression of her feelings. After all, in the Kushan high command's judgment, the next battle was the final battle, so as long as they survived after the battle, making such a choice that combined loyalty and righteousness was not considered outrageous.
Zena and Kuyel instantly understood Anada's true intentions. Kuyel immediately expressed that he thought about the same thing, after all, he had to live up to General Fuward's expectations.
Sitting in the shadows of the palace, somewhat out of place with the others, Fuward paused for a moment when he heard Kuyle's words. Then, he unconsciously recalled that he had once had many young people who shared the same beliefs as Kuyle, but sadly, they were all dead.
Foward's eyes were a little red, but he still kept Kuyle's image deeply in his mind.
"I'll pass. My situation is different from yours. I've killed too many elite Han soldiers, including quite a few Sixth-Rank warriors. So I'll just stick to my path. But if you come to Chang'an as the princess's personal guards after this battle, remember to keep a lot of records for me to see." Zena had a detached and worldly-wise expression, and was incredibly carefree.
"Don't worry, if you die, I will remember to send the completed arcane mirror to your grave. At your level, even if you die, you will at least have a grave and a tombstone." Ananda said with a hint of sarcasm. "It seems that we all think in complete agreement, at least on this matter. So, everyone, please remember not to do anything reckless. We still need to stay here for a while."
Zena closed his eyes and didn't say anything more. He was a man who knew exactly what he was doing.
"Which team do you think will win the championship?" Chen Xi had already turned his gaze back from the small world. "Who will be the champion in the overall team standings and the individual standings?"
"As for the team, the advantage of the General's six teams is too obvious. Not to mention Ma Ye's tens of thousands of points, Han Duan also has nearly 100,000 points. Marquis Chen, aren't you going to stop him from racking up points?" Liu Tong said with a hint of sarcasm. Su Zong's 10,000 points at a time really shocked Liu Tong. Such a huge loophole and no one is doing anything about it. What can Liu Tong say?
To be honest, it's only thanks to Hou Zhong's morality that he could have joined Ma Ye and the others in chasing down Su Zong; otherwise, Hou Zhong would probably have 100,000 points by now.
Of course, considering how outrageously bad Zhang Yong was, if Zhang Yong hadn't been eliminated, Liu Tong firmly believed that Zhang Yong's team would definitely have been the champion in team points, and Zhang Yong himself would definitely have been the champion in individual points. After all, Zhang Yong was the kind of person who was capable of executing his teammates.
If Zhang Yong didn't kill someone who had earned hundreds of thousands of points after learning that Su Zong had such a high score, then he wouldn't be Zhang Yong!
"Why should I care? I didn't care about Jiang Guang being worth 500 points, so why should I care about Su Zong being able to farm points? It's completely irrelevant," Chen Xi said calmly.
"But thinking about it carefully, Canghou's team has a pretty high score. Although Guangyuan and Zhanghuang didn't do a good job, Baxiu and Houjing still took down quite a few tough opponents." Liu Tong thought for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, you seem a little absent-minded."
“We need to consider the second phase, and who will take down Slavnis next. Unless Su Zong and Hou Zhong are eliminated, their oaths will remain. Although Slavnis doesn't know how to use miracles and can't twist his opponents like Zhang Yong, the power he currently possesses is enough to turn Su Zong and Hou Zhong into divine gear.” Chen Xi said with a frown. If Slavnis were to obtain those two divine pieces, Wang Mao's attack would be in danger of capsizing.
On the other side, Ganassis was staring intently at Slavnis. He didn't mean anything by it; he simply saw a possibility in Slavnis—a possibility that the Roman Empire could win the championship.
Although he was just here to coast along and make a living in Chang'an, Ganassis felt he couldn't miss the chance to win the championship.
As for the claim that we trampled on the Han Dynasty, damn it, in a place like this where we competed in a grand martial arts tournament, relying on ability and luck, Rome won the championship because of our strength. The Han Dynasty didn't even have that much magnanimity.
"Have you rested enough?" Han Duan drew his two steel swords again and asked Slavnis. As a top-notch fighter, how could Han Duan not know what Slavnis was doing?
In fact, not only Han Duan, but also Su Zong and Hou Zhong noticed Slavnis's little tricks. However, they didn't care much. At this level, unless it was a matter of life and death, maintaining appearances was still quite important.
This is something Chen Xi sometimes has to complain about. You guys haven't learned the essence of aristocratic families, but you've learned how to be respectable first? I'm really speechless!
"Thank you all three." Slavnis breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his hands in a salute, and had even given up on capturing Hou Zhong and Su Zong as his equipment.
After all, Slavnis was a true knight. The other side had given him face, and if he repaid kindness with enmity, it would be a serious violation of his moral principles. After all, it was just a martial arts exercise, not a war of life and death, so Slavnis didn't want to get involved in such trivial matters.
"No need to be polite. We just want to see what kind of power a seventh-level fusion cultivator can unleash using these things," Han Duan said honestly. The other two, not bothering to hide their opinions, nodded directly.
“You are very strong. I can sense a hidden threat emanating from you. Without this equipment, I would most likely be killed on the spot if I faced all three of you at the same time. But now, my strength has increased significantly. If you want to fight, I am willing to oblige. However, your strength has crossed a certain line, and it will be difficult for me to hold back.” Slavnis said seriously as he raised his cross spear.
"Suit yourself. It's rare to encounter an unfamiliar powerhouse in this small world." Su Zong pounced forward with afterimages.
I need to get back to work and start stockpiling drafts; I have no choice but to.
