Chapter 868: Chapter 869: Scramble for_1

Boom, boom~

A series of violent explosions accompanied by fiery blasts erupted at the end of the bridge, tearing the bodies of five abyss demons into pieces with more than a dozen high-explosive landmines in an instant;

Seeing this scene, the summoner who had just summoned the abyss demons revealed a look of relief in his eyes. At this moment, having already sensed the odor of death, he began to distance himself from death;

“Has that guy gone mad, burying so many high-explosive landmines at the bridgehead?” a player said, a look of surprise on their face.

“He did this to prepare for armored vehicles. Earlier, I saw someone driving an armored vehicle coming this way. Its speed wasn’t fast, but its defense was astounding…” another player commented;

“The path ahead has been cleared, let’s take this opportunity to rush across. Also, I think we should greet the player inside that villa, what do you think?” A player wielding a two-handed greatsword and clad in heavy armor said with a ferocious smile, staring hatefully at the villa from where the sounds of battle erupted continuously;

About twenty players exchanged glances and silently charged towards the opposite side of the bridge. Suppressed like whack-a-moles for so long, they were all holding a pent-up anger, eager to unleash it upon that sniper.

Song Jian hid in the shadow of a bridge pier, watching as players continually rushed across the bridge toward the villa nearby;

Soon, battle raged around that villa. The more than twenty players who had formed a temporary alliance seemed to each harbor their own schemes. The player previously fighting in the villa realized that others had surrounded them, and a melee erupted. The remaining player count in the corner of Song Jian’s vision kept fluctuating, with one person being eliminated every second;

With the end of the bridge now secure, Song Jian, still in stealth mode, crossed the bridge and checked the map. The lethal zone wasn’t far from there, and in about twenty more minutes, it would close in on this bridge.

By then, if there were still any players who hadn’t crossed the river, they would likely be eliminated by the lethal zone and leave the Trial Space empty-handed;

Boom~

The aftershocks of a battle between dozens of players completely destroyed the villa and half a street’s buildings nearby. Around ten players, weapons in hand, confronted each other around the villa. In their midst, a sniper rifle glowing with a purplish-golden light lay quietly on the ground;

“Eh, a Legendary Level sniper rifle? Is this the weapon used by the person who blocked the bridge earlier?” Song Jian’s eyes lit up as he focused on the sniper rifle amidst the crowd, thinking to himself.

In an environment like this, owning such a terrifyingly powerful weapon would greatly improve one’s odds of victory, and almost all players were reluctant to give up this advantage;

However, this weapon was of no use to Song Jian. Even a Legendary Level weapon, after an 80% reduction in power, would not match the true combat effectiveness of a blue-quality one-handed sword;

But now, this Legendary Level weapon lay before Song Jian like a tempting bait, and the dozen or so players around him were like fish salivating at the bait. Song Jian planned to catch them all in one go;

“That NPC was killed by me, and this weapon is my loot!” a player wielding a dagger, exuding a chilling aura, stared at the people around him and said in a low voice;

“You killed him? That guy clearly died under my gun. Besides, what use does a player of the Assassin profession have for this sniper rifle? In your hands, isn’t it like casting pearls before swine? It would be better to give it to someone from a ranged profession!” A player wielding a dark gold quality rifle sneered and retorted.

“The Poisonous Aura is about to shrink over here. I suggest we come up with a solution quickly, rather than stand off here. After all, there are more players around us than just ourselves, and once others are drawn in, it would be detrimental for everyone.” A player clad in heavy armor spoke coldly.

“This weapon shouldn’t even exist. I propose we destroy it!” a player dressed in cloth armor said with some trepidation, glancing at the sniper rifle. This weapon was the bane of all cloth armor professions, whose fragile defenses crumbled before it. Its extreme range meant that a person possessing this weapon could instantly kill them from beyond their line of sight.

“I agree, let’s just destroy it. I believe no one here wants it to fall into any player’s hands!”

“Agreed, destroy it. The weapon is too powerful. I don’t want to be targeted in the head by it at the last moment!”

…

Of the more than ten players who had survived the battle, at least half suggested destroying the weapon, while the ranged profession players all showed helpless expressions on their faces.

Just then, a vigilant player suddenly looked towards the direction of the bridge and a look of horror crossed his face.

“Damn it, enemy attack!” the player roared lowly and immediately fled towards the distance, but how could his speed possibly match that of the spirit swords.

In less than a second, thirty spirit swords enveloped an area of more than ten meters, with explosions sounding incessantly. All the spirit swords slashed towards the players gathered around the sniper rifle.

Song Jian’s figure slowly emerged from behind the bridge pier, and the player count in the corner of his eye jumped several times in succession. After the melee, most of the players had depleted vitality points, and some were even close to half.

At level three, the Thousands of Swords Flying Immortal Decision gave each spirit sword the power to unleash 140% damage, with each hit dealing over 1,200 points of damage. If they triggered increased damage or a critical hit, it was enough to kill any player instantly.

Thirty spirit swords against about a dozen players meant each player was targeted by at least two spirit swords, with no chance of escape.

Song Jian was still a bit uneasy. He threw the Sky-breaking Sword into the air, and as if controlled by an invisible arm, it plunged towards the crowd.

In no time, a hazy sword mist enveloped everyone. Piercing sword cries rang through the mist as blood spurted out with the unfolding of the Invisible Sword Array. Within just ten seconds, as the sword mist began to dissipate, all players present were eliminated by Song Jian, earning him a total of thirteen points.

At that moment, on the current points leaderboard, Song Jian’s name leapt forward by more than a dozen places, entering the top five.

This leaderboard had no actual significance. Its existence only made players wary of the top few on the list and nothing more. Even the player in first place would find all his accumulated points meaningless once eliminated.
