Chapter 65: Unstoppable

Swift Blade Gao Shen froze when he heard the shout. He saw the bouncing figure in the snow in the distance and a look of disbelief crossed his face. He recognized Li Xiaofei from Red Flag High School.

So soon? Has Red Flag High School gone mad? Did they adopt a fast RUSH tactic in such a harsh and cold competition setting like the Blizzard Polar Region? Isn\'t this a recipe for total annihilation?

Out of an abundance of caution, Gao Shen sent a discreet signal. Soon, the rest of the Qingye High School team received the signal and took their pre-determined tactical positions, forming a faint semi-circle.

Li Xiaofei remained oblivious. He walked through the snow, shouting, “Is everyone here?”

Gao Shen’s expression was serious.

This is too arrogant. It’s a blatant provocation. Meeting us and immediately asking if everyone is here? Is he planning to take us all out in one go?

“We\'re all here,” Gao Shen said, gesturing for his teammates to get ready, keeping his voice calm. “Are your people here yet?”

“Our people? Aren\'t you... hmm?” asked Li Xiaofei.

At that point, Li Xiaofei finally sensed something was off. The voice didn’t seem right and the tone was also very off. Moreover... As he got closer, the snowstorm no longer blurred his vision. He shaded his eyes with his hand and took a closer look.

What the...? Why are these Qingye High School people here? Where are my teammates? Where are Fang Buyi, Bai Longfei, and the others? Could it be that Qingye High School had shamelessly used a rapid RUSH tactic and taken out all my teammates during my absence?

It\'s my fault. It\'s all my fault for walking too slowly and wasting time. Now my team is annihilated. What should I do? I should fight them.

Li Xiaofei’s blood heated up as he tore off the bear hide and launched a solo charge.

"I’ll send you all to hell!" He roared, "I’ll avenge my teammates!"

In the crucial moment, he couldn\'t afford to conserve his starforce qi any longer. He used all of his starforce qi to accelerate madly, like an arrow shot from a bow. He was in front of Gao Shen in an instant.

Opposite him, the Qingye High School team members were stunned.

Avenge his teammates? Where are his teammates? How did they die?

"Kill."

Gao Shen made his move. His starforce qi surged, activating the Windwing Sparrow Inscribed Treasure Bone within him and granting him unparalleled speed. A giant crimson sparrow phantom appeared behind him. His beast bone blade was unsheathed with a flash. The blade\'s light slashed out like a dazzling river of stars.

At the same time, Lu Zhen swiftly cut in from the right flank. He had a spear made with beast bone in his hand that was piercing through the air, scattering points of cold starlight.

Whoosh whoosh.

It was soon followed by the sound of arrows flying through the air. Weapons specialist Zhou Peng, holding a hastily crafted longbow made from beast bones and tendons, shot arrows coated with deadly poison. Three arrows flew out simultaneously, forming a triangular pattern. They completely locked down Li Xiaofei’s escape routes.

Medic Shen Qingqing, holding a blowpipe, gently blew out a cloud of dark green mist that started to drift toward Li Xiaofei’s position. Meanwhile, beastmaster He Ye silently released two Polar Ice Snakes from his pant leg. The snakes blended into the snow, slithering towards Li Xiaofei. Four professions, attacking in unison. Their coordination was impeccable.

He\'s done for.

Li Xiaofei is finished.

This is what happens when you show off.

Even if he can take down Gao Shen and Lu Zhen head on, he can\'t escape the calculations of the other three. As long as it isn\'t close combat, the beastmaster, weapons specialist, and medic can defeat him given enough time. It doesn’t matter even if they’re in a different realm.

Facing five opponents alone, there\'s no chance of victory.

In an instant, the livestream chat was flooded with frantic comments.

On the battlefield, Li Xiaofei suddenly skidded to a stop.

In the next instant—

He used the Great Xia martial lineage\'s true legacy, the Three Steps Cicada Catch.

Whoosh.

His figure turned into a flash of light. Li Xiaofei dodged Gao Shen\'s blade like lightning and threw a Vajra Thunderous Strike at Lu Zhen, who was attacking from the right flank.

Boom!

Caught off guard, Lu Zhen, at the eighth stage of Qi Refining Realm, was completely obliterated along with his spear. Blood rained down.

Thud.

An arrow pierced Li Xiaofei\'s back, but he seemed unfazed. His body was far tougher than ordinary people. Only Gao Shen, the strongest on the field, could pose a lethal threat to him. Though Zhou Peng\'s arrows were poisoned, they couldn\'t kill him instantly. So Li Xiaofei endured the arrow to buy the time and space to kill Lu Zhen.

Since his first strike was successful, Li Xiaofei used the Three Steps Cicada Catch again. Accelerating abruptly again, he dodged Gao Shen’s pursuing blade again for the second time. He appeared in front of weapons specialist Zhou Peng like a flash of lightning, and threw another punch.

"What?!" exclaimed Zhou Peng who was horrified.

Li Xiaofei was too fast for him to react, and the fist loomed larger and larger in his vision. The weapons specialist from Qingye High School had his head smashed to pieces by a single punch, dissolving into a swirl of data and disappearing from the battlefield.

Li Xiaofei executed the Three Steps Cicada Catch for the third time without hesitation. This time, he successfully killed medic Shen Qingqing and his next target was beastmaster He Ye.

"Retreat!" Gao Shen shouted, his eyes wide with rage.

In the presence of someone known for speed like himself, Li Xiaofei had just used even greater speed to swiftly kill three of his teammates. It was a great humiliation.

If beastmaster He Ye were killed next, both Gao Shen and the entirety of Qingye High School would be firmly nailed to the pillar of shame for Season 251. They would all become stepping stones for Li Xiaofei. They would become mere background figures in Li Xiaofei\'s moment of glory.

He Ye, thinking clearly, understood this perfectly. He immediately retreated as quickly as he could. Gao Shen took a deep breath, fully unleashing the power of the Inscribed Treasure Bone within him. He had activated his secret technique. The starforce qi emitting from Gao Shen’s back transformed into a pair of crimson sparrow wings as his speed doubled. The distance between him and Li Xiaofei quickly shortened.

But just then, Li Xiaofei suddenly turned around using the Three Steps Cicada Catch. He had abandoned his intentions to catch He Ye. He accelerated to his top speed and threw a punch at the charging Gao Shen.

Damn, it was a trap!

These were the only words that flashed through Gao Shen’s mind.

Boom!

The two figures collided heavily as blood sprayed everywhere. Li Xiaofei stumbled and crashed to the ground, covered in blood. Gao Shen\'s bone knife was embedded in his left shoulder. The bone arrow in his back had pierced through his chest from the impact. He looked terribly battered but the price was worth it.

He had killed the strongest member of the Qingye High School team, Gao Shen, in a head-on collision using the most powerful move of the Great Strength Vajra Fist, the Vajra Wrathful Mountain Split.

In a clash of extreme speeds, Gao Shen\'s speed-oriented, assassin-like fighting style was no match for the sheer power of Li Xiaofei’s strength-based approach.

"Heh heh heh..." Li Xiaofei grinned, leaving bloody footprints with each step as he walked towards He Ye in the distance.

He Ye stood frozen, as if his soul had been drained. Despite being the second-in-command of the Qingye High School team, he was still just a high school student. He had never encountered such a brutal scene.

When he saw Li Xiaofei approaching like a god of death, He Ye completely forgot to run. He stood there, dumbfounded, as Li Xiaofei walked closer and closer.

“Hey? What’s going on?” In the Red Flag High School\'s area, Bai Longfei frowned as he looked at the snowstorm outside their temporary camp. “Why hasn’t Li Xiaofei come to regroup yet? Could something have happened?”

“With his strength, it shouldn’t be possible,” said the mischievous loli, Ren Dong, also showing some concern.

The probability of unexpected incidents was higher in team matches. Non-combat casualties were common. It was only in this way that team members could develop the ability to handle unexpected situations. After all, hunting star beasts in the wild wasn’t as straightforward as competing in the light core virtual world. Anything could happen, and a single mistake could lead to being buried in the wilderness.

Under normal circumstances, even if Li Xiaofei was moving slowly, he should have reached the rendezvous point by now. It was already an hour past the expected time. His absence likely meant something had happened. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Red Flag High School team.

"It seems we can only adopt a defensive strategy for this battle," Fang Buyi decisively said. "We\'ll set up traps and poisonous fog around the camp and hope to hold out for as long as possible."

The four team members looked grim. Losing Li Xiaofei was a massive setback. Their chances of winning this round had plummeted to less than 10 percent.

But just as they were about to take action...

"This match is over. Congratulations to the Red Flag High School team for securing the final victory."

The light core system\'s verdict echoed from the sky.
