Free Web NovelChapter 1379: Chapter 1379: The Miserable Yue Qiguang
In the dense fog, Sheng Qingyan held a massive bow and arrow, his beautiful eyes slightly squinting beneath the goggles, constantly locking onto Yue Qiguang.
Yue Qiguang seemed to sense something, continually switching positions.
Sheng Qingyan lay still, acting like an experienced hunter full of patience with his prey. No matter how his prey ran, jumped, or hid, he unwaveringly locked onto the target.
Yue Qiguang seemed to sense something.
As a powerful Physique Gifted, half of Yue Qiguang’s combat ability depended on his intuition, which was also a kind of talent. His innate battle instinct allowed him to gain victory in numerous battles without needing excessive combat skills. Thus, when Sheng Qingyan’s cold gaze trapped him, despite the thick smoke and distance of thousands of meters, he managed to catch it immediately.
Someone targeted him.
A sniper targeted him.
Who?
Is there even a need to ask?
Yue Qiguang believed that the sniper capable of posing such a significant threat could only be Sheng Qingyan; there wouldn’t be a second candidate.
This was troublesome.
If it were face-to-face combat, fighting with physical strength and combat skills, Yue Qiguang wouldn’t flinch against Sheng Qingyan?
Sheng Qingyan, this rookie, wants to challenge himself?
Dream on!
But!
Now that Sheng Qingyan, the sniper, locked him in, the situation changed.
Yue Qiguang treated it as a dire threat, constantly shifting positions, knowing to retreat behind a massive rock, leaning against it. Only when he stared at his surroundings did he relax slightly; but just then, a huge sense of crisis struck him, causing his heart to skip. He realized it was bad and lunged forward!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Three arrows nearly grazed Yue Qiguang’s cheeks as they passed. Luckily, he dove fast; otherwise—
Yet!
Before Yue Qiguang could catch a breath, another loud whooshing sound attacked his direction. Squinting his eyes, he dove onto the rock.
But!
Boom!
The huge thundering sound just now was a blind eye method; the true deadly arrow pierced through the rock, sticking straight into Yue Qiguang’s abdomen. Yue Qiguang instinctively looked down.
His face went dark.
Following that.
Splurt—
Yue Qiguang spat a mouthful of crimson blood!
In the next second. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Lou couldn’t bear to look any longer, closing his eyes instantly. Then, after waiting for a while, he secretly lifted his eyelid slightly, wanting to see but not daring, so he asked Ji You: "Is... is he still alive?"
Ji You replied: "Still alive, won’t die for now."
Lou quickly opened his eyes, and seeing made him almost spit blood: "This? Not dead yet?" Looking around, Yue Qiguang was shot everywhere like a porcupine—it was unbearable.
Ji You said: "After all, his skin is thick and rough; guessing it’ll take a few dozen seconds for him to arrange his affairs before he croaks."
Lou: "..."
Lou remarked speechlessly: "What kind of talk is that? No sympathy at all."
Ji You replied: "I have sympathy, for sure. I truly sympathize with him; dying so tragically. Among the entire battlefield, he’s the most miserable Commander to die. But what use is my sympathy? Can it let him live on?"
Lou: "..."
Lou took a deep breath and sighed heavily, saying: "Ah! It’s better if he dies sooner, keeps me company."
Ji You laughed and said: "That’s unkind—now that Yue Qiguang has died, I guess he wouldn’t keep you company. You’re at the negative exit, while he has high points."
Lou: "..."
Lou clutched his chest, body swaying: "Enough, enough, don’t hurt me any more; I truly can’t take it."
"Alright." Ji You laughed, shutting his mouth.
...
In the screen, at the last moment of collapse, Yue Qiguang hurriedly arranged for a deputy to take his place and quickly dispersed all the personnel to hide.
Then.
He still wanted to give more instructions; words hadn’t left his mouth before he croaked.
Yue Qiguang stared wide-eyed!
Dead, unappeased.
In the fog, Sheng Qingyan put away the bow and arrow—all it took were a few arrows to eliminate the enemy commander. Yet the cold and indifferent light in his beautiful eyes showed no trace of triumph or pride.
Then.
Sheng Qingyan ordered: "Archers, prepare—"
"Fire!"
Yue Qiguang’s sudden elimination dealt a huge blow to Camp 7; although he immediately arranged for someone to take over, this temporary commander failed to gain sufficient support or make decisive moves in a short time. Despite his efforts to calm everyone, the entire team still fell into uncontrollable chaos.
How could the enemy possibly miss this opportunity?
They truly would seize confusion to take lives!
Countless arrows shot over amidst the chaos!
Below the flurry of arrows, many were hit, making Camp 7’s situation instantly more dire.
...
Lou slightly closed his eyes, sighed, saying: "Sheng Qingyan is really steady like an old dog. He doesn’t even need to show up; just staying behind the scenes is enough to occupy the fisherman’s seat."
The enemy’s retreat has been cut off.
The enemy’s advance is utterly isolated.
At this moment, the whole Camp 7 army seemed isolated on an island, surrounded by numerous hidden wolves, waiting for lost souls or panicked people to stumble into their hunting zone.
Currently, Sheng Qingyan doesn’t need any radical measures; plenty of enemies await one by one to be harvested.
...
Ji You stroked his chin, saying: "Spicy Eye’s move was custom-tailored against Yue Qiguang. Each step anticipated Yue Qiguang’s thoughts and decisions, thus reliably progressing to this point. One could say Yue Qiguang lost because the enemy understood him too well."
Lou lamented: "Ah! No doubt, knowing both the enemy and oneself ensures victory in a hundred battles."
Without Yue Qiguang, Camp 7 was in disarray, even with the interim commander’s efforts; stabilizing the situation quickly proved impossible—defeat was certain.
Ji You decisively switched screens!
Lou exclaimed in surprise: "Hey! What are you doing? The match isn’t over yet!"
Ji You remarked: "No need to watch anymore."
Lou considered and agreed; the rest of the match was just watching Sheng Qingyan lead forces to clear out enemies, no need to keep watching. Lou said: "Switch to Chu Jiaojiao and Yue Qiyuan’s match."
Ji You switched the screen but did not sit down; instead, he stood up and suddenly walked outside.
Lou was puzzled, asking: "Where are you going?"
Ji You said: "I’m going to meet Yue Qiguang; he’s been eliminated, right? Should be out already? He died too tragically; not going to light incense for him would weigh on my conscience."
Lou: "..."
Lou couldn’t help but retort: "You’re just being schadenfreude, right?"
"Ahem!" Ji You coughed softly, put on a straight face, saying: "What are you talking about? I’m just concerned about a classmate."
Lou replied: "I still advise you not to go; do you know how many people are waiting at the arena exit hoping to beat you? Not to mention, my soldiers won’t let you off easily."
Ji You: "..."
Ji You simply sat back down, raised his hand to pour himself a cup of tea. Seeing Lou looking at him, he earnestly said: "Forget it, this sofa is so comfortable, the tea is so delicious, the match is so entertaining, I love it here, don’t want to leave."
Lou sarcastically remarked: "You’re clearly chickened out."
