291: Picking peaches

Huang Chen's figure appeared, turning into an afterimage as he charged straight toward the Kui Niu!

"Ah! Who is that?"

"He wants to steal the final blow!"

"Stop him!"

...Huang Chen's appearance instantly ignited the powder keg, drawing loud curses from the Trial Takers surrounding the Kui Niu.

Among the five major factions, especially the Metal Element Users melee classes, seeing the Kui Niu's health nearing its limit and Huang Chen charging first, they could no longer restrain themselves.

"Black and Yellow Body!"

"Soul Severing Stab!"

"Kill!"

Curses and the roar of skills erupted everywhere.

Almost simultaneously, dozens of figures burst forth with dark golden light, recklessly crashing toward the Kui Niu in the center, which only had a sliver of health left! The scene instantly became utterly chaotic.

Huang Chen's Soul Severing Stab was extremely fast, making him almost the first to reach the Kui Niu.

"Roar—!!!"

Seeing someone dare to charge straight at it, the Kui Niu did not show any weakness, kicking off powerfully with its single leg and counter-charging toward Huang Chen.

However, just as the tip of Huang Chen's spear was about to touch the Kui Niu's massive body, his eyes sharpened, and he fiercely twisted his waist, forcibly halting his forward momentum!

His footwork shifted cleverly in a way that defied inertia, and using the residual momentum of the Soul Severing Stab, he spun rapidly like a phantom, instantly circling behind the Kui Niu's thick single leg!

"Ah~ Get out of the way, hurry and get out of the way!!"

"Ah! That sneaky bastard!!"

"Animal!"

However, the many Metal Element Users following behind Huang Chen did not possess Huang Chen's level of Movement Skill. Seeing the Kui Niu charge, they were all greatly alarmed.

However, their first reaction was not to dodge, but to curse loudly. After all, if their Movement Skill wasn't good enough, dodging was pointless anyway.

The Kui Niu's charge was like a giant tank crashing into a flock of chickens. Dozens of white lights flashed as the Metal Element Users who blocked the Kui Niu were instantly killed.

After this momentary delay, the Kui Niu's health finally dropped to the freezing point of 1%.

"Blood Battle in Eight Directions!!"

Huang Chen, positioned behind the Kui Niu's single leg, didn't hesitate for a second, immediately unleashing his strongest current skill.

"Puff~ Puff~ Puff~"

The Kui Niu took only three spear hits before collapsing unwillingly.

[Ding! Killed Boss Kui Niu, gained Points and Contribution Value +3334!]

[Ding! Killed Boss Kui Niu, gained Points and Contribution Value +3333!]

[Ding! Killed Boss Kui Niu, gained Points and Contribution Value +3333!]

Three system notifications rang out in the ears of Huang Chen, Li Ruo, and Elise, respectively.

Li Ruo excitedly opened the Points Ranking. She was now firmly in third place with 7012 points, while Elise was eighth with 5128 points, and Tie Shengnan's score had reached 8000 points, securing second place.

Judging from battle awareness and Skill Mastery, Tie Shengnan was absolutely the cream of the crop in this session.

Elise's eyes were wide open, clearly still recovering from the shock of Huang Chen killing the Kui Niu.

"It only had 1% health left, and he... just killed it like that?" Elise murmured in disbelief. "Does he really only have 6000 Potential Points to allocate, just like us?"

Other Trial Takers present had the same reaction as her.

You must know that it took hundreds of them pulling and attacking for three seconds just to drop the Kui Niu's health by 1%, yet that person in the arena cleared the remaining 1% of the Kui Niu's health before even finishing one move.

How powerful was that attack?

In reality, this result was simply due to the Kui Niu's extremely high Absolute Damage Reduction. Many of the Trial Takers' skills present had not reached Minor Mastery, and they could barely penetrate the Kui Niu's defense, dealing only a thousand or so damage points. Huang Chen's attack power, however, was high enough that the overflow damage, after deducting the Absolute Damage Reduction, was far greater than the combined overflow damage of those hundreds of people.

With the fall of the Kui Niu, the entire scene fell into a brief moment of silence.

Subsequently, curses erupted once more, and then almost everyone angrily hurled skills at the figure in the arena.

"Ah~ That animal!"

"Ah~ We kited it for a full half hour, and he just came along and plucked the peach!! Kill him!"

"Kill him! If we can't kill the Kui Niu, at least we can loot 10% of his points!"

...Huang Chen's Black and Yellow Body had reached Major Mastery, with a duration of 12 seconds. He still had a good 10 seconds remaining, so he completely ignored the incoming skills.

With a thought, Stealth activated, and he flew directly toward an opposing faction. There was one Trial Taker there who was cursing the loudest, having virtually greeted all the female ancestors of Huang Chen's previous three generations.

"You should be thankful that you are currently in the Asura Field..."

"Swish!"

The spear shadow flashed, and Huang Chen's figure reappeared.

That Trial Taker turned into a white light and vanished before even clearly seeing the person, startling everyone around him.

"Kill~ ah~ uh..."

The people nearby were about to curse angrily, seeing that the opponent dared to infiltrate their faction alone.

But once they clearly saw Huang Chen's appearance, everyone felt as if their throats had been choked.

"Y-Y-You... H-H-Huang..."

"Ah~ Run! It's Huang Chen!!!"

...Some pointed directly at Huang Chen, their fingers trembling uncontrollably, as if they forgot they were in the Asura Field and couldn't be killed; others simply screamed and turned to run.

That was Huang Chen!!!

They had seen both the Individual Arena Matches and the guild arena matches, and coupled with the current leading position on the Points Ranking, they did not believe that the handful of people present could pose any threat to Huang Chen.

Soon, out of the hundreds of people, only those from the Golden Faction remained.

These people belonged to the same faction as Huang Chen. Seeing their idol, they all ran over to greet him. Huang Chen acknowledged them with a slight nod.

Until only he, Li Ruo, and Elise remained on the scene.

"Thank you!" Elise thanked Huang Chen somewhat reservedly.

One hundred thousand points were split into three portions, and she received over three thousand points for doing almost nothing, which made her feel slightly unreal.

"Don't mention it." Huang Chen nodded, glancing at the Points Ranking. "You're ranked eighth."

"Mhm!" Elise replied, her face slightly flushed, unsure if it was due to excitement or something else. She secretly glanced at Huang Chen, then quickly looked away.

"Hubby!" Li Ruo giggled as she approached, hooking her arm around Huang Chen's, then winked at Elise. "How about that? Didn't I tell you? Wasn't that kind of impact shocking?"

Elise's face grew even redder. She knew what Li Ruo was referring to. She could only nod almost imperceptibly, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz: "Mhm... indeed... very strong."

"Alright." Huang Chen interrupted Li Ruo's teasing and looked at Elise. "Are you alone?"

"Mhm... You know, positions are randomized after entering the Asura Field." Elise helplessly watched the departing Trial Takers from the same faction; none of the hundred-plus people were her clan members.

"Come with us," Huang Chen stated directly.

Elise's Personal Combat Power was also top-tier, so taking her along wasn't a loss. Moreover, having such an attractive woman nearby was pleasing to the eye.

"Huh?" Elise was stunned for a moment.

"What do you mean, 'Huh'?" Li Ruo let go of Huang Chen, took two steps, and affectionately linked arms with Elise. "Earning points with my husband is an opportunity others can only dream of. Speaking of which, what have you decided about my earlier suggestion?"

Elise was momentarily stunned by Li Ruo's sudden question. She subtly glanced at Huang Chen, then stammered softly into Li Ruo's ear, "Give me some time... okay?"
