Chapter 7013 Narrowing down the scope
"Since Brother Su has already made his move, little brother, don't blame us for being impolite!" Hou Zhong said, twirling the triangular rapier in his hand and pointing it towards Slavnis. As he spoke, he immediately activated a gravitational field to interfere with Slavnis's actions.

"Huh?" Slavnis, who was about to wield the cross spear in a dance, noticed something was wrong the moment he raised his hand. The top-heavy cross spear, due to the direction of gravity, caused the center of gravity to shift, making it feel strangely awkward for Slavnis to use.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!" Han Duan, with a blur of movement, rushed directly towards Slavnis with his sword. They wanted to see what kind of effect the Sevenfold Forging could bring with this divine weapon. They just wanted to learn from it!
Crimson flames extended from Slavnis's body, covering his entire form. The interference of external forces on Slavnis instantly decreased by 70%. In Slavnis's mind, the talent of Incineration was originally used to suppress opponents and ensure the full exertion of his own strength.

"Damn, this is troublesome!" Seeing that his straight sword was blocked by Slavnis with the shaft of his spear, and that crimson flames were enveloping him, Su Zong instantly realized that something was wrong. He immediately used the momentum to escape Slavnis's attack range. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he reappeared behind Slavnis and thrust his sword straight at the back of his opponent.

At the same time, Han Duan's sword light, like water, completely covered Slavnis's visible area, forcing Slavnis to barely dodge. However, just as Slavnis exerted force to the left and jumped up, Hou Zhong raised his hand and used gravity to pull Slavnis back to his original position.

This scene caused Slavnis's face to turn pale. Forced into a corner, he could only use the Sword of Transcendence in one hand to deal with Han Duan, while using his other hand to sweep his spear horizontally, trying to force Su Zong back!

With this move, Slavnis managed to barely hold off Han Duan, but when faced with Su Zong's dagger thrust from behind, Slavnis's anti-vacuum shockwave finishing move, created by combining Zhang Ping's and his own spiral force fields, was completely useless. Su Zong simply used a move that would result in mutual destruction!

He took the shockwaves from both sides head-on, risking being blown apart on the spot, and with all his might, he plunged the knife into Slavnis's back.

Su Zong's greatest strength has never been his mobility, but his ability to take the place of another in death. Not to mention in the small world, even in reality, you would have to kill Su Zong eight times before you could bring him back to life. But in the small world, Su Zong is simply impossible to kill!

So much so that Slavnis, who had never considered this kind of gameplay, thought that Su Zong didn't need to do something like trading his life for injury. As a result, Su Zong really showed Slavnis what it meant to trade one's life for injury, directly stabbing Slavnis through.

Seeing this, Hou Zhong raised his hand and concentrated his gravity to give Slavnis a massive blood drain, just like when Miao Ran fought Zhao Zhen earlier, when Zhao Zhen had half of his blood vessels blown off by Miao Ran.

No matter how mythical the world may be, as long as one is still human, blood is extremely important to the human body. Losing too much blood in a short period of time can really be fatal.

As soon as Hou Zhong raised his hand, Slavnis managed to seal it up, but the wound that Wang Pa was trying so hard to treat was torn open by gravity, and then, like a faucet bursting, a large amount of blood gushed out.

Only Slavnis's quick thinking and ability to press on the wound, coupled with the fact that Wang Pa was a top-notch surgeon, and Slavnis's desperate act of sacrificing Wang Pa's essence and spirit for recovery, managed to barely stop the bleeding. However, at this point, Slavnis's face was noticeably pale, and he also experienced some dizziness and slight blackouts.

Of course, thanks to his limit-breaking level of willpower, Slavnis in this state can still unleash combat power close to his peak.

"That's pretty impressive!" Su Zong, who had been wiped out in a single attack and returned to the fountain in less than two breaths, looked at Slavnis, who was still imposing despite having lost a lot of health, and said with some surprise.

"Breaking the limits of non-willpower can't take you away directly?" Slavnis had seen resurrection-type talents before, not to mention the existence of the super-heavy footman had given many Roman elites a wake-up call. So when he saw Su Zong, whom he had killed, reappear unharmed, Slavnis was hardly surprised.

"You can try to break through the limits of willpower and see if you can take me away," Su Zong chuckled.

Han Duan glanced at Su Zong but said nothing. He knew he couldn't take him away, since he had killed Su Zong several times. If breaking through the limits of willpower could take Su Zong away, that would be simple.

Slavnis didn't answer, but simply gripped the Sword of Transcendence. "I don't care if your Willpower Breakthrough can take it away, I'm sure I can take it away with this one!"

“This is truly outrageous. With your level of strength, you should be considered top-tier even in the Roman Empire, yet I’ve encountered three of you at once.” Slavnis gripped his cross spear tightly, his expression grave. “Even with these weapons, I’m starting to have some concerns.”

"It's as if we're nobody in the Han Empire." Han Duan said with a cold smile, gripping his sword. He wasn't sure of his ranking when he was disabled, but now, Han Duan estimated that he would be ranked in the thirties.

"Alright, enough nonsense. If you can win, then fight. If you can't, then we'll carry you away!" After his previous probing, Hou Zhong stopped pretending and threw out a three-edged rapier, which then floated in front of him. These were all things that Hou Zhong could control with his gravitational field.

"The battles of elite warriors are all over in an instant; what happened before was merely a test." Han Duan gripped his steel sword with both hands, his belief that nothing could withstand his blade, and light emerged from it.

"I have nothing more to say." Su Zong gripped his straight sword, assuming a thrusting stance, his powerful aura creating a whistling sound around him. The three of them were preparing for a final showdown!
"Come and fight!" Slavnis roared, his will and spirit bursting forth to the limit. He forcefully pressed the Sword of Transcendence into his cross spear, and the Wings of Light emerged from his back. He bent low, ready to pounce. The instant Su Zong moved, he sacrificed his talent to forcibly absorb the essence of Zhang Ping and Wang Pa, strengthening himself to the extreme. He also poured even more and wilder essence into the Wings of Light. In an instant, Slavnis rushed from extreme stillness into the realm of divine speed!
That was pure speed beyond imagination, the speed that Huang Tao had pushed to his limit, the speed that Slavnis could only unleash when he didn't care about his own injury.

Such speed was so fast that it even left an afterimage in the eyes of elites like Su Zong and Han Duan, who were known for their high mobility. By the time the two reacted, Slavnis had already broken through the gap between them with his cross spear and was heading straight for Hou Zhong, who was providing support from the rear.

Such speed completely exceeded the expectations of the three people present. In the previous round, they had been testing Slavnis's reaction speed and mobility. However, what they thought they had tested had changed drastically in this instant.

It was fast, purely fast, so fast that it exceeded Hou Zhong's reaction speed. As the only one present who had not yet reached the realm of super speed, his mobility was indeed a weakness.

Even so fast, even faster than Hou Zhong's reaction time, Hou Zhong reflexively used a complex gravitational field the moment he sensed the danger, and strengthened the force field protection. He even naturally used the repulsive force of the inner circle to float himself up!
As soon as Slavnis entered this gravitational field, he understood Hou Zhong's instinctive reaction and, without thinking, swung his spear at Hou Zhong.

However, the swift thrust did not hit Hou Zhong. Instead, it landed at Hou Zhong's feet. As the spear blade reached Hou Zhong's feet, Slavnis suddenly unleashed his most extreme power, giving Hou Zhong, who was now free from the constraints of gravity, a tremendous boost. He even used Zhang Ping's power to send Hou Zhong flying straight into the sky.

In that instant, Hou Zhong felt the acceleration of 100G; he ascended to heaven and then departed.

"Damn it!" When Hou Zhong woke up from the Myriad Manifestations Divine Palace, he almost broke his thigh. It was too fast. He really couldn't react. By the time he actually took off and realized that he had been tricked and that the atmospheric distribution density had been manipulated by gravity to forcibly achieve light and shadow obscuring, it was already too late.

The archers who had just killed Ma Ye and Bi Laoliu were already watching this place, and now another one has flown up. Why wouldn't they pick up some points?
"Old Hou, what happened to you?" Zhang Yong asked Hou Zhong with a chuckle.

"They killed him with their arrows," Hou Zhong cursed angrily.

"No, isn't your force field protection the strongest arrow defense talent?" Zhang Yong was stunned for a moment. In terms of arrow defense, Hou Zhong's elite talent was invincible.

"Haven't you heard the saying, 'Even the best swimmers can drown'?" Hou Zhong said irritably.

"Ah, I'm from Xiliang, I haven't studied it," Zhang Yong said bluntly, completely proud of his lack of education, leaving Hou Zhong speechless.

Meanwhile, the Han army officers were also watching the battle between Slavnis and Su Zong and his two companions. They all thought that as long as the trio didn't cause trouble, winning wouldn't be a problem. However, as Slavnis came up and sent Hou Zhong away, all the officers present realized a certain fact.

"Slavnis's combat awareness and reaction speed seem to be very strong," Chen Xi said with a hint of speculation. Hou Zhong's instinctive reaction was not wrong, but Slavnis's change of tactics was indeed too fast and too accurate, directly taking Hou Zhong away.

“Yes, very strong.” Zhang Fei nodded and said, “And unlike those guys who cheated by relying on talent, this guy relies entirely on his own combat awareness, which is really impressive.”

"With this level of combat awareness, it's probably going to be difficult to deal with him." Hua Xiong turned his head and hinted to Chen Xi. With this level of combat awareness, so many divine weapons, and the ability to heal himself, there is basically no opponent in the small world who can defeat Slavnis in his peak state.

"Zhao Zhen took Yang Tuo to face Hasgard. The only ones left who can face Slavnis in his prime are Jiang Guang and Zhao Ying, and Wang Mao," Huangfu Song said, watching the battle below. "The others are all fighting alone and have no chance of defeating this guy."

"I think we should take another look." Chen Xi glanced at Yan Liang, who was rushing towards them. This guy's intuition was very strange, and judging from the speed and direction he was coming, he was obviously here to collect equipment. If Yan Liang could feel that he was collecting equipment, then the situation on the other side was self-evident.

Although it's unclear how Slavnis lost, Yan Liang's intuition suggests that something unexpected must have happened, so let's wait and see.

"You two are indeed very strong, but that's all you can do." Slavnis said with a hint of pride after dodging Han Duan's eighteen slashes. Compared to Wang Pa's control of Huang Tao's Wings of Light, Slavnis had truly pushed this thing to its limit, achieving Huang Tao's divine speed.

After acquiring this, Slavnis practiced briefly and quickly became adept at maneuvering, no longer needing to worry about any opponents.

After all, even Su Zong couldn't possibly chase down Huang Tao at full speed.

As for Han Duan, although everyone calls him Shensu (Divine Speed), Shensu can be divided into different levels. For Huang Tao, Ruishi's Shensu is at least a sixth-level thing, if not a ninth-level one!
"Alright, I've mastered my current power. Now, let's send you two on your way." Slavnis teleported from one location to another as if he were a shadow, and said with a smile as he looked at Han Duan and Su Zong, who had missed their target.

Compared to Zhang Yong's crude way of using it, Slavnis's use of the Wings of Light was obviously more refined. Moreover, without speed penalty, and with his own reaction ability and basic qualities keeping up, Slavnis displayed absolutely heaven-defying mobility.

As he spoke, Slavnis had already flashed in front of Han Duan and then threw the spear that Zhang Ping had transformed into at Han Duan's feet. There was no other meaning to it; this was a competition where whoever ran faster than the shockwave could dodge the attack.

Upon witnessing Slavnis's insane actions, Han Duan lightly touched his toes and shot backward the instant the light, heat, and terrifying explosion occurred.

However, under these conditions, Ruishi's speed didn't seem to be enough to completely escape the blast zone. Fortunately, Han Duan was strong enough to raise his sword and directly cleave through the sweeping shockwave, then used the remaining force to fly backward.

However, in the next instant, a long spear pierced through Han Duan's back and then kicked him directly into the core of the explosion.

Su Zong was helpless. He wanted to help Han Duan, but Slavnis was too fast and had the initiative. By the time the two of them bypassed the shockwave and arrived behind Han Duan, Su Zong was too late to stop Slavnis.

As for why they didn't speak, the three of them are faster than the speed of sound, what's the point of speaking!

"Now it's just you left." Seeing the mushroom cloud spreading out with the storm, Slavnis, who had kicked Han Duan into the core of the explosion, stepped on the swirling shockwave and chased after Su Zong.

"What the hell? What's going on? How come these mushroom clouds keep appearing every now and then since recently?" Moon Verus and the others, who were exchanging archery techniques with Herbert, looked at the reappearing mushroom cloud with strange expressions.

"It's probably because it's nearing its end, and all that's left are tough guys, so they're looking for a quick victory," Herbert said, looking at the mushroom cloud rising in the distance with a hint of speculation.

"How about we go take a look together? There aren't any Huns around, so let's see what's going on?" Yue Verus invited the Kushan brothers, who were excellent archers.

"Let's not go for it. I see that mushroom cloud, it was hundreds of miles away at first, but now it's only a hundred miles away. Maybe they're heading this way," Herbert said, gazing at the mushroom cloud. "While I'm not bad at close combat, if we prepare our charged kinetic arrows early enough, I think we have a good chance of winning against an opponent who can create that kind of commotion. If we charge in..."

The Moon Verus brothers seemed to understand. Indeed, although they were quite capable in close combat, it was more realistic to launch a sneak attack against their older brother who could make such a commotion. Besides, the location of the mushroom cloud was indeed getting closer and closer to them.

Since that's the case, why not just wait where you are? Maybe the next mushroom cloud will rise just a few dozen miles away. Isn't that the best shooting range for us beyond-visual-range shooters?

For an archer, what could be more satisfying than being able to attack the opponent while the opponent cannot attack them?
“That’s true, then let’s wait here together. We happen to have a special kind of Mind Arrow that we can show you. It’s a Phoenix Arrow that requires several of us to use together.” Yue Nuoxia suggested to her comrades. The others thought about it and agreed. Since they had nothing else to do, they might as well wait here. Waiting for the rabbit to come to them might be a bit silly, but it wouldn’t be tiring.

In other locations, due to the shrinking of the small world, more people saw the rising mushroom cloud. Those who hadn't been eliminated by this point were all elites; even if they relied on luck, they were still elites who could fight with luck.

"Seriously, what the hell, another mushroom cloud." Aphrodite, standing on the treetop, looked at the mushroom cloud that was only twenty or thirty miles away from his home with an extremely solemn expression. He had been in this position since he landed, and by waiting for his prey to come to him, he killed one Kushan veteran, three Han veterans, one Hun, and one demon god. Well, he hadn't moved an inch from beginning to end, relying entirely on his own efforts to kill them.

The problem is that this position seems a bit dangerous now. Aphrodite knows he can't withstand that kind of attack just by looking at it twice. But should we move?

After taking two breaths, Aphrodite transformed into a branch and remained hanging on the tree. What was the point of moving? At worst, he'd just get hit and be eliminated!

The surface temperature in Xi'an must be around 70 degrees Celsius. Yesterday, I went out to buy watermelon around 5 a.m., and after taking a couple of steps, I felt the soles of my shoes getting hot. I checked my phone and it was 41 degrees Celsius! Unbelievable!
