Chapter 215: Live Performance Of The Staff Technique
Although the Hidden Dragon Ghost General only specialized in spells, he was fairly capable in close combat, too.
He wielded his magic wand powerfully, baffling the super duo. If it weren’t for Sun Qi’s healing abilities, both of them would have been knocked out long ago.
In the end, they were forced to keep a low profile and retreat temporarily.
After forcing back the duo, the Hidden Dragon Ghost General, who was holding his magic wand, suddenly began to question the reason he chose to specialize in spells. After all, this battle proved that close combat is the strongest.
Nevertheless, it was too late for him to regret his decisions now. Although he had suppressed that duo in close combat, he still couldn’t kill them.
However, as soon as he showed any sign of using his spells, the duo would charge toward him again fiercely.
The Hidden Dragon Army was already in chaos. They did not even retreat in unison and were all running for their lives. It could be concluded that they had lost the battle.
This time, the Hidden Dragon Ghost General felt resentful.
He knew that not only would he lose the battle, but his influence over the Hidden Dragon Region in the future would also be weakened.
This would affect his position in the heart of the future king.
Despite feeling resentful, he knew that escaping was the most pressing matter at hand. Therefore, he immediately turned around as he was prepared to abandon the army and leave on his own.
However, the players would never let him go this easily. The kill squad, who had already gotten near, appeared one by one, surrounding him in a circle.
Ao Jian, Qi Ming, Gu Yu, and the others, were the ones who all passed the Ghost Commander Trial. Although they were no match for the Hidden Dragon Ghost General, they still had a huge advantage which was having more bodies.
“Which forces sent you here? Why did you invade Cangxu?” the Hidden Dragon Ghost General questioned with a somber face as he watched the players surrounding him.
“Beiqi Army! Gu Yu!”
“Beiqi Army! Liu Chai!”
“Beiqi Army! Qi Ming!”
…
It was their first expedition, so naturally, they wanted to leave their names behind, hence they revealed their origins without any hesitation.
“Beiqi!”
After knowing the origin of the force that appeared out of nowhere, the Hidden Dragon Ghost General was stunned.
From his point of view, Beiqi seemed to have fallen into turmoil long ago, and could not even protect themselves. How could they suddenly invade Cangxu? Could it be that Beiqi had unified? And the new king wanted to expand his territory?
“You Beiqi Army wish to start a war against Cangxu!”
“Not really, that’s the job of the Army of Xianxu. We’re just here to beat you up!”
When Liu Chai finished talking, he waved his hand. The group closed in and launched an attack on the Hidden Dragon Ghost General.
As the Hidden Dragon Ghost General promptly swung his magic wand, several rays of light shot out of it, attacking their locked-on targets.
“Brother, charge!”
At that moment, the dog and the knight duo suddenly appeared and ferociously crashed into him, causing him to stagger backward.
“Retreat!”
“Shut up, bastard!”
“Alright, brother!”
After one attack, the duo swiftly retreated whereas Liu Chai and the others, who managed to parry the energy attack, charged once again, attacking the Hidden Dragon Ghost General.
The Hidden Dragon Ghost General was forced to swing his magic wand and change to close combat. During offense and defense, he had to find opportunities to release his spells.
However, the super duo always appeared out of nowhere, making surprise attacks from every direction. The Hidden Dragon Ghost General was so livid to the point where he almost coughed blood.
Looking at the increasing amount of bruises on his body, the Hidden Dragon Ghost General finally gave up on spell attacks. He transferred all the Yin energy in his body into the magic wand and engaged in close combat with the players.
Although he specialized in spells, the Hidden Dragon Ghost General had lived for many years after all. Therefore, he was not sluggish when it came to close combat skills as he could wield the magic wand in his hands with ease.
Hit, lift, hack, cover, press, cloud, sweep, thrust, support, raise, hook, pluck…
It was occasionally offensive and impenetrable. The essence of the staff technique was displayed to the fullest by the Hidden Dragon Ghost General, which made Liu Chai and the others unable to break his defense for a while.
“Fuck you! Did you train in martial arts? Can’t you fight fairly with us like a Mage?” Liu Chai cried out when he was knocked off again.
Hearing this, the Hidden Dragon Ghost General’s face was full of resentment. At that moment, he was very frustrated with himself!
Why did I specialize in spells!?
Isn’t it better to learn close combat skills instead!?
If I’d learned how to carry out close combat, they would never stand a chance against me!
This is so frustrating!
However, the battle had to continue. He did not dare be distracted, so he kept waving his magic wand, blocking the attacks from all sides.
“Everyone, surround and throw your spells at him. Use ranged spells. Let him continue waving until he dies of exhaustion!” Liu Chai stopped attacking and began to command the army of players to surround the Hidden Dragon Ghost General.
“We should back away, too. Those who have ranged skills, don’t be afraid to use them!”
Gu Yu and the rest backed away upon hearing him, creating some space around the Hidden Dragon Ghost General.
“Dark Shadow Dart!”
“Surging Fist!”
“Devouring Ghost Wreath!”
“Blood Qi Blaze!”
…
At that moment, the roles of both sides had switched. The close combat players started to use ranged spells whereas the Hidden Dragon Ghost General continued to swing his magic wand to parry their attacks.
As time passed…
My arms are aching! My arms are really aching!
The Hidden Dragon Ghost General almost shed tears when he watched the densely packed skills streaking toward him.
He could feel the numbness of his hands as he kept waving the magic wand without rest. However, he could not stop. He would be beaten if he did.
“Stay like this, don’t stop, continue waving for me,” signed Liu Chai.
Standing among the players, Liu Chai took out a pack of sunflower seeds from his inventory to eat while watching the Hidden Dragon Ghost General with a smile.
“Does Beiqi really want to become the enemy of Cangxu?” the Hidden Dragon Ghost General could not break free thus he could only threaten Liu Chai.
“We already told you that Cangxu has nothing to do with us… we’re just here to beat you up!”
While speaking, Liu Chai turned around and shouted at the people behind him, “Are we live yet?”
“Boss, we are!” the rear guild members shouted.
“Good! Good!” Liu Chai nodded his head in satisfaction.
At this moment, in the official web forum, the number of players watching the livestream surged.
[Beiqi Expeditionary Force: The Hidden Dragon Ghost General Will Perform His Staff Technique Online, Don’t Miss It!]
Many of those who had not joined the expeditionary force this time were curious about the Land of Cangxu and the battle, hence they couldn’t help check on the video.
However, the livestream content gave them the shock of their lives.
Watermelon_Taro: “Confused. Are all of the Ghost Generals from Cangxu so friendly toward their guests? What’s with the performance?”
Crayon_Shinchan: “Did all of you bully him? Why does he look so unwilling? How could you do this to him, don’t you know how to win someone over by virtue? Look how scared you people made him, even sweat could be seen on his forehead (laughing emoji)!”
Assassin_Creed: “Fuck! The expeditionary force gets this kind of treatment? They even have a big boss elite performing for them (dumbfounded emoji)!”
Broke_Trash: “Hahaha, this Ghost General is freaking awesome. Why not we bring him back to Beiqi and let him perform everyday (laughing emoji)!”
Fat_Happy_Water: “Jealous. I’m green with envy because I didn’t join the expedition!”
Happiness_In_The_End: “Interesting… why don’t we in Beiqi have such enthusiastic Ghost Generals or Ghost Kings (laughing emoji)?”
Hasaki: “Maybe it’s the region’s tradition? Cangxu’s Ghost Generals have to perform before battle (laughing emoji)!”
Watermelon_Juice: “Reading the comments after watching the video made me burst out laughing. The talents in the forum are really increasing (laughing emoji)!”
…
“Everyone, he’s slowing down. Let’s give him some pressure and make him go faster!”
Following Liu Chai’s yell, the players’ skills came raining down in a more densely packed manner.
Seeing this, the Hidden Dragon Ghost General’s face turned pale. He immediately sped up his waving speed to cope with the attack.
“Aye, yes! Faster!”
“I’ll kill you!” the Hidden Dragon Ghost General gnashed his teeth while glaring at Liu Chai.
“If you still have energy left after performing for three hours, I’ll let you kill me!” Liu Chai said while smiling.
The Hidden Dragon Ghost General was rendered speechless.
He never expected that one day, he, a dignified Ghost General Level Elite, the overlord of a region, would be watched by others like a monkey in the circus.
The grief in the heart of the Hidden Dragon Ghost General was indescribable.
