Chapter 679: Chapter 592: Assassin’s Creed

"Lu Shuhang, I never imagined you’d be immature enough to threaten me with that." Xu Xiaoyou chuckled softly.

The next moment, she reached out with both hands, instantly destroying the shielding device nearby.

Lu Shuhang froze on the spot as fragments flew past his eyes, swallowing slightly.

"Moreover."

Xu Xiaoyou tapped the ground with her long blade, and a whirlwind arose from the tip.

"I don’t care about what you said."

"Feel free to shout it out loud if you want."

With those words, Xu Xiaoyou lunged forward, her twin blades slicing long marks on the ground.

Lu Shuhang’s mind was dazed, instinctively taking a few steps back.

The opponent used the ’Superdimensional Projector’; in reality, the status should align with the game, being the Fourth Tier, so why did she appear so confident?

For some reason, Lu Shuhang suddenly thought of the association’s definition of the Light Prism Tier.

The Light Prism Tier is theoretically above the Prism Tier and Fifth Tier, possessing the capability to single-handedly destroy Nest City and reflect the world’s brilliance.

Could it be that this person can achieve all this with just the Fourth Tier in reality?

Lu Shuhang’s eyes narrowed slightly, and with a low shout, he hurled dozens of daggers towards the sky, swiftly turning the hourglass in his hand, causing time to slow down.

"Assassin God."

He became a stream of light, swiftly weaving through the thrown daggers, evading Xu Xiaoyou’s ferocious seven-fold strike.

In that moment of high-speed traversal, Lu Shuhang’s eyes suddenly widened. He realized that during the time-slowing, Xu Xiaoyou’s figure seemed nearly stationary, yet her gaze persistently followed him.

Could she see him using Assassin God to traverse in the time-slowing?

This anomaly raised alarm bells in Lu Shuhang’s mind, prompting him to abandon the stalled ’Kiss of the Dead’ and immediately retreat.

As the time-slowing ended, Xu Xiaoyou’s [Dynamic Aim] on her chest turned into light and dissipated.

She certainly couldn’t see the opponent, but Lu Shuhang was well aware that she had used this [Dynamic Aim] the moment he reached into his pocket.

The final die simultaneously fell into the roulette machine, stopping at a count of 37.

—— "Banker’s Hour" activated.

Without any pause, Xu Xiaoyou was strengthened by numerous buffs, immediately turning around as green energy particles surged before her.

As her hands slowly drew back, a longbow appeared in her grip, with vine-covered bow limbs and spiraling airflow forming arrows aimed at the airborne Lu Shuhang.

A limited edition [Pixie’s Miss], paired with three hardcover level skill cards [Precise Shot], [Headshot], and [Multiple Arrows].

In an instant, the verdant arrow shot out, piercing the sky with a whistling force!

Feeling the approaching arrow, Lu Shuhang decisively used Assassin God on the daggers on Four-leaf Phoenix Tree, intending to flash away instantly.

However, in another moment, as Lu Shuhang opened his eyes, he found himself before Xu Xiaoyou, with a marked dagger dropping at his original position.

Lu Shuhang’s pupils shrank to a pinpoint.

The dagger on Four-leaf Phoenix Tree, how come it appeared in Xu Xiaoyou’s hand earlier?

The airborne Angelina looked back, meeting Xu Xiaoyou’s gaze.

Lu Shuhang quickly cleared up what had happened.

It turned out that Angelina’s initial approach to Four-leaf Phoenix Tree was to take the dagger he had prepared in advance?

In the moment Xu Xiaoyou and Angelina’s figures crossed, the dagger was passed over.

"As expected, due to Divine Speed Power, you subconsciously chose an Assassin God’s target at Four-leaf Phoenix Tree,"

"I’m well aware that with your conservative combat style, you wouldn’t abandon a chance to engage me head-on, because you wish to test my limits for your future strategies."

"Coincidentally, so do I."

Xu Xiaoyou gripped her sword with one hand, while the other held the sword’s hilt, the blade piercing through Lu Shuhang’s chest.

Lu Shuhang coughed up blood, clenching the blade, his fingers sank deep into the blade, with bone crackling.

In full state, Xu Xiaoyou’s frontal strength could entirely suppress Lu Shuhang; she could have earlier made him feel retreat, but she did not do so to make him continue using ’Assassin God.’

"After using Assassin God so many times, your heart can barely withstand the load, right?"

Xu Xiaoyou twisted the long blade, pushing deeper, nearly locking eyes with Lu Shuhang’s trembling icy blue eyes.

"Have your teammates retreat; it would benefit us both."

Lu Shuhang’s reaction was swift; the long blade nearly pierced through him. A centimeter off would have killed him, as his heart was indeed nearing its limit due to using Assassin God multiple times, beating rapidly almost to a stop.

"Captain!"

A few teammates noticed what took place and shouted.

"Yes, if I use Assassin God one last time, I can escape with my teammates." Lu Shuhang’s expression suddenly relaxed a bit, gripping Xu Xiaoyou’s long blade tighter.

"Once your Divine Gift’s time is up, there will be severe negative effects. If I drag you down here, they can surely eliminate your three teammates, and Assassin’s Creed will still win."

Xu Xiaoyou immediately tried to pull the blade out but found the Deacon Long Blade unmoved.

"All-out attack on Dark Gold Rose!" Lu Shuhang shouted.

"Anya, kill Four-leaf Phoenix Tree!" Rationality prompted Xu Xiaoyou to issue the command.

She was uncertain whether, under the Superdimensional Projector’s effect, perishing in the Oasis would mean death in reality.

Yet this calm guy before her had already reached a frenzy inside, truly intending to swap lives with her.

"If it could be done, I’d have done it already."

Angelina gritted her teeth slightly, her spiritual power pushed to the limit, her field growing increasingly turbulent, beginning to burn everything at the cost of her life.

Just as she planned recklessly to kill Four-leaf Phoenix Tree, none in the air moved, as Xiao Xinzhu calmly stared at her.

"Angelina, if you truly dare to act, we will exchange for Dark Gold Rose. Want to try?"

Angelina’s expression flickered, reflexively halted, not advancing, hovering.

"President, sorry, we can’t carry out your command." Four-leaf Phoenix Tree spoke with a heavy body.

Lu Shuhang’s gaze trembled: "What nonsense are you saying, attack!"

This scene was so similar, it reminded Xu Xiaoyou of her first clash with Assassin’s Creed, which compromised due to Four-leaf Phoenix Tree, allowing her to escape, only this time she held the advantage.

She no longer tried to stab the long blade deeper into Lu Shuhang since Assassin’s Creed’s four members watched her every move, impulsively killing this guy they’d chase him relentlessly.

"You forgot how you commanded last time, didn’t you, President." Zhou Zhao’s Champion Hand pointed down at Xu Xiaoyou.

"If not for Four-leaf Phoenix Tree, the match could have ended at the start. You stopped attacking to save this guy. And now, you’re saying one thing and doing another, showing off alone."

"You said that raising the champion’s trophy would be us." Yu Lan spoke softly, lifting her scythe.

"It’s us, excluding no one from Assassin’s Creed."
