Chapter 188 Victory (Additional update for Wolong master Meng Meng)
On both sides of the overpass, the Thunderbolt students in blue windbreakers and the Edes students in black uniforms rushed towards each other like two chariots.
Flashes of light rose one after another in the two teams, and then a series of cuts were drawn towards each other. The bright light illuminated these young faces. Time seemed to slow down here. One figure after another jumped into the sky, and the arm bent backwards because of the high-raised sword blade, whistling against the wind.
Then cut down.
The fierce slash broke the pale white shield and protection, hitting the opponent's body. The flesh served as a buffer, the bones were broken, and a mouthful of blood gushed out. The spreading shock wave pressed several people around and smashed a crack in the ground.
In just the moment of contact between the two sides, several students were injured and left the field, falling from the overpass. Fortunately, there were rescue personnel waiting below, so there were no real casualties, but even so, such a confrontation was still dangerous and not 100% safe.
After breaking into the enemy formation, Wu Lai roared, and his broad sword drew a brilliant arc in the night. Four Thunderbolt students holding blue spears were swept away, and the weapons in their hands also showed signs of breaking and burning, dimming.
"Damn it." A senior student in a blue windbreaker frowned, then shouted.
"Follow me! Meteor strikes by mistake!"
Then he turned into a blue meteor and jumped up quickly, straight up, and a senior student followed him.
These rapidly leaping "Morning Stars" suddenly opened their blue electric wings behind them during the ascent, and finally hovered in the air, then suddenly sank again, turning into a dazzling meteor, drawing a bright arc trajectory in the night sky, and rushed into the formation of the Edes students.
Like an electric arc, it instantly penetrated the formation of the Edes students, and students were thrown away in the violent impact, until he finally stood on the side of the overpass, piercing the body of a student with the sharp spear in his hand and throwing him to the side of the bridge.
The electric light baked the blood on the tip of the spear, emitting a slight smell of burning. He turned again, and in front of him were four Edes students who attacked together.
Swords and spears clashed, and he only caught the trajectory of two swords, while the other two long swords pierced his shoulders and pierced through him.
"Ah——" A low roar came from the mouth of the student holding the sword, and then they held the sword with both hands and kept rushing forward, dragging the opponent in front of them on the ground until they came to the edge of the bridge and kicked him away, causing him to fall under the bridge.
Looking back at the center of the bridge, the battle was chaotic and fierce, with members who had fallen and lost their fighting power everywhere, and there were also members who were still wielding dazzling weapons, crossing the trajectory in the night, and constantly attacking.
"Hah!"
Wu Lai stomped his foot on the ground, and swung his broad sword from bottom to top, sending the opponent in front of him flying. Then he took three steps, leaped up, and slashed again, knocking the opponent who was still in the air down. He fell to the ground and shook, then lost consciousness and fell into a coma.
After dealing with this opponent, he moved forward again until he met the general of Thunder Edge Academy. On one side of his cheek, there was a black tattoo from the corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth. The pattern was sharp and angular, like a flying dragon in the shape of lightning. When he fully activated the extraordinary core in his body, such a pattern also emerged with a light blue glow, making him look particularly fierce.
"Thunder Fighting Dragon, Zhang Han." Wu Lai recognized the man in front of him. The two had fought in the Winter Festival Competition two years ago, but at that time they were both in the second grade and were not as famous as they are now.
"Heh, Wu Lai."
Zhang Han sank slightly, his body slightly bent, like a beast ready to attack, exuding a cold breath. He slowly uttered a few words, and his eyes, which were like lightning, stared at his opponent, waiting for an opportunity to find a weakness.
Wu Lai frowned slightly, and slowly tightened his sword in his hand, ready to fight. At this moment, the opponent suddenly moved, and his figure came in front of Wu Lai as if teleporting. The long spear in his hand passed through the gap where the sword blade had no time to swing and pierced Wu Lai's right shoulder. The tip of the spear drew sparks like metal friction on the surface of Wu Lai's body, then drilled into his body, and then pulled out suddenly, bringing up a blood flower.
The opportunity was just a moment. When Wu Lai turned back and swung his sword horizontally, Zhang Han had already escaped, and then attacked again from the side and rear. The tip of the spear pierced Wu Lai's vest. Although Wu Lai turned around with all his strength, it also cut a long blood mark on his back, leaving a deep wound.
The successive injuries greatly reduced Wu Lai's momentum, and the stinging pain from his right shoulder also slowed down his sword swinging speed, and his reaction was no longer quick. After that, facing Zhang Han's lightning-fast pursuit again and again, he could only respond hastily, constantly blocking and dodging, and the bloodstains on his body were increasing.
Although these wounds were not fatal, if he, the president, fell here, the overall situation of tonight's confrontation would probably be decided. If Edes Academy failed again, the ranking at the end of the year might drop from fourth to fifth in the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region.
The situation is not good...
On the top of the tall building, the black-haired and blue-eyed girl overlooked the scene below. Although she was the instructor of this year's "Hat and Dagger" club, she could not go down to support, not only because of the restrictions of the club's identity, but also because of her identity, as the trump card hidden by Edes Academy, which could not be easily displayed here.
However, it was not without hope. In the night wind, the girl's sight turned to another place on the bridge, where there were five black-clothed students standing back to back, cooperating with each other, and stabilizing the front line in the melee.
"We can't stay here any longer! We have to go and support the president quickly, otherwise the situation will be critical." A student in the battle shouted, and the opponent saw that he was still distracted and talking, feeling a kind of anger of being despised, and once again increased the frequency of attack.
"Su and I will cover, you quickly break through." A hedgehog-haired young man holding a sword joined the battle. The trajectory of the blade in his hand was strange, and the angle of attack always caught people off guard, which disrupted the rhythm of the blue windbreakers in front of him and made them retreat one after another.
"Okay!" Another girl also rushed over. She had orange-red hair, and the blade in her hand also emitted waves of heat. It was like a flame dancing in the swing, making the opponents on the side dare not approach.
Seeing that the two companions stopped the opponents around them, the remaining three looked at each other, then stood up at the same time, jumped up, and the white electric light woven wings took shape briefly, and then rushed to the distance a hundred meters away, where Wu Lai was struggling to support. Even if there were other companions around to rescue, they were always stopped by the students of Thunder Front.
At this moment, Zhang Han was holding the spear in his hand, hitting the wounded Wu Lai backwards. Wu Lai was about to be forced under the bridge behind him, and three figures wrapped in white light suddenly arrived. After a series of collisions and attacks, they finally forced Zhang Han back temporarily.
He frowned at the three people who suddenly came to disrupt the situation, snorted coldly, and then waved his hand. Four students from Thunder Edge came from the surroundings and joined the battle.
The three formed a triangle, protecting Wu Lai behind them. They held the long swords tightly with both hands, their expressions tense, and wisps of white air rose from the swords and bodies, and the edge of the blade also showed some visual distortion.
The "White Orchid Cross Sword" was created by the hero "White Flower Saint" Durlan who fought against chaos in the early Third Era. Its final form is War Sequence 7: White Orchid Sword. Now, due to the change in the form of war, from the previous large-scale troop combat to small-scale elite combat, the War Sequence has also transformed into the Slashing Blade Sequence.
Although the times have changed, many skills of the 'White Orchid Cross Sword' faction have become outdated, but they are not without merit. The three people are now using the 4.2 version of the 'White Orchid Sword Skill' that was improved by Heshia Tilan. The slight distortion of space effect that originally required Sequence 6 to be attached to the sword skill has been emphasized in advance, and now even Sequence 5 can play a part of the effect.
Zhang Han stared at the three people, waved his hand, and the four people beside him rushed forward. The blue electric light shone in the night. At the same time, the light was dazzling, and the
tip of the gun suddenly attacked from it. "Stop them!" The leader shouted, and then stepped forward with a sword. The long sword emitting white smoke swept across the night, crossing a gorgeous trajectory, directly cutting off the two attacking spears, and then the broken spear shaft pierced him. Although it made his blood surge, he finally endured it, and then two companions also arrived, waving the same sword skills to repel the attacking opponents.
The blades flew, and the opponents who had lost their weapons were frightened when facing the slightly twisted blades that emitted white smoke, and retreated one after another. This joint attack also boosted the morale of the Edes Academy.
Zhang Han frowned again, but there was no suitable member to support him at this time, so he could only attack on his own.
The spear in his hand turned like lightning and attacked the three people fiercely. Although the blades in the hands of the three people had great lethality, they could not hit Zhang Han's spear tip well due to their experience and strength. While avoiding the sword, Zhang Han continued to attack the three people and gradually forced them back.
Unfortunately, although he was forced to retreat, Zhang Han also had a hard time fighting, because the three people on the opposite side were also growing rapidly. As he became more familiar with the battle, it became increasingly difficult for Zhang Han to find flaws in the three people, and there were some scratches on the spear in his hand, and a gap appeared on the tip of the spear.
Just as Zhang Han was ready to fight hard and no longer try to fight for a long time, a fiery figure came from the corner of his eye.
"Bang, snap." In a hasty block, the spear in his hand was cut off by the fiery red figure opposite.
Then, another strange sword light attacked from behind. Even though he tried his best to rotate his body, he was still wounded, and traces of blood slid down from his waist.
When he stood still again, five people held swords in both hands and surrounded him. They all had sharp eyes, and the long swords in their hands and bodies emitted wisps of white smoke, and the edges of the blades were slightly twisted.
Although one person is definitely not Zhang Han's opponent, when the five people join forces, the game is already decided.
The quietly suspended drones watched the game above and around the bridge. As Zhang Han was surrounded, the situation on the scene slowly fell to the side of Edes Academy. After Wu Lai recovered his strength, he raised the giant sword again and led the club members to defeat or drive the remaining opponents off the bridge one by one.
Seeing this, Zhang Han could only accept the result of failure and retreated in silence with the broken spear in his hand.
"Bang——"
fireworks burst out from under the drone, and the audience in every corner of the city also listened to the host's passionate commentary.
"It's so unexpected! Although President Wu Lai of Edes Academy was once at a disadvantage and was forced into a dead end by Zhang Han of Thunderbolt, at the critical moment, three brave companions came and curbed Zhang Han's attack with their high combat power. Then they worked together with their companions to trap the opponent's general, and finally tipped the balance of victory to their side!"
"This victory washed away the shame of the 'Hat and Dagger' club. It seems that they have regrouped and have never forgotten the oath to challenge Saint Ingo. They are still practicing on the previous path. Let's see who will win the Winter Festival this year!"
After that, a hand pressed the projection button next to it, the picture stopped, the lights in the room lit up, and a dozen girls sitting or standing turned their eyes away from the screen. They were all wearing beige uniforms, and there was a queen bee emblem on their chests, indicating that they were students of the 'Swarm of Bees Academy'.
A girl with dark purple hair sat on the sofa with her legs raised. The high-grade and smooth fabric on the edge of her trousers reflected the residual light of the screen. Her deep red eyes were particularly wild in the dim environment.
"What do you think?" Her voice was a little rough, with an inexplicable magnetism.
"President, the progress of the 'Hat and Dagger' club this time is not small, especially the five people who came out to besiege Zhang Han, the Thunder Dragon. The swordsmanship they used was never seen before. It is probably some unpopular secret technique." A girl wearing glasses and full of bookish air leaned over and spoke.
"I can see it too. Although I don't know where they learned it from, it is obvious that they will pose a great threat to us this year."
"Have you noticed that the five of them are not fourth graders, which means they will not graduate and leave this year, and the strongest group of members in our school are about to graduate." The student council president of the Swarm of Bees Academy analyzed calmly.
"This is true." The other people beside him also lowered their heads. They were already fourth graders and were about to leave. It was impossible for them to repeat a grade specifically for this.
"Give a call to the school's board of directors and have the academy's external relations department investigate where the five of them learned swordsmanship. Although knowing who taught them may not necessarily change anything, we need to know where this threat comes from."
"Yes, President."
The room was quiet for a while. When the president in the middle did not speak, they would not speak or leave easily.
"Amorth from Edes is also a fourth-year student. He will leave this year. This old fox cannot be without a backup plan. Let them check who will take over the student union at Edes Academy this year."
"Understood."
"Let's disperse today. By the way, how is the progress and situation of the birthday party prepared for Princko?" She raised her head and looked at a member behind her.
"80% of it has been completed. Currently, there are 46 large companies sponsoring it. In addition, the chief governor of the South District will also be present. The Red Shell Bay module will be booked in its entirety and a dinner will be held on the sea. The invitations have been prepared. I will send you the list later to see if there are any modifications or additions."
"OK, you still make me worry-free."
She took the record board handed to her, picked up the coffee on the table, and began to review them one by one. This list can be said to have brought together the big names in the South District and even the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Domain. Although Pulin Coco is currently only a Star-level singer, who can say that she will not advance to the Moon-level in the future? It is not a loss for these big names to make friends in advance, but it is quite worthwhile. That is why this 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony will be particularly grand.
