Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1329 - 1232: Battle Against Withered Fish

"Fine, I’ve got it all down. When I come across that greenhorn, I’ll definitely not let him off easy!"

Su Ran nodded to Xue Wuqing, indicating he would help her take her revenge.

Hey, just an ancient beast, still within my control!

Trying to intimidate with ranking?

As if it’s that easy, my pets are not vegetarians!

Once my Darknight Thunder Dragon comes out, won’t it just scare the pants off this fearsome creature?

"Overturning Water, don’t take this lightly. This beast, named Qiongqi, was a renowned entity even in ancient times!"

Xue Wuqing saw Su Ran’s somewhat casual and perfunctory answer, furrowed her brows slightly, and then shared all the information she had seen in the comment section. Although she wasn’t clear about Qiongqi’s ranking among ferocious beasts, it wasn’t hard for her to tell from the expression of the Pegasus that the reputation of these beasts wasn’t groundless!

"Wu Qing, my dear, put your heart back in your chest. I’ve never been afraid of competing with pets, not even that Stacey! What’s more, I have a trump card that I haven’t revealed yet. Why panic?"

Su Ran gave the woman a hint of his bottom line, letting her know there are always bigger fish.

"Trump card? I hope you’re holding a royal flush!"

"That’s impossible. A royal flush consists of big jokers, at least two cards."

"Naive!"

Xue Wuqing scolded coldly and without waiting for the match to start, chose to forfeit, disappearing in a flash of white light above the arena.

"Dang, Wu Qing, my dear, you’re pretty strong to have lasted this long in the Heavenly Gang Group and not once used your only opportunity to forfeit. That’s seriously impressive!"

Su Ran had expected a big fight but was caught off guard by this turn of events.

What Su Ran didn’t know was that Xue Wuqing’s opportunity to forfeit had been reserved for him and Banana all along. The hardship of persisting until now using revival opportunities was known only to her.

Five minutes whizzed by.

"Whoosh."

Opposite Su Ran, a warrior dressed in heavy armor appeared, wielding a broad chopping blade, his eyes sharp and formidable—a clear sign that he was not an easy adversary.

"So it’s you, the guild leader of Tiger Supreme, Withered Fish. What an honor, what an honor."

Su Ran had dealings with Withered Fish and could naturally identify him, and said casually, "Brother Withered Fish, as the leader of a major guild, you manage myriad affairs, and to think you could still make it into the top ten, I truly admire you!"

"There’s no need for your compliments! Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, I haven’t settled our previous issue. Now that we’ve met, it’s time to settle both old and new accounts!"

Withered Fish had suffered a loss at the hands of Su Ran before—how could he show a good face to him? If it weren’t for Su Ran’s popularity and influence in the game, he would have torn him a new one long ago!

"Brother Withered Fish, you’re getting it wrong. We live in a civilized and harmonious society these days; stop always looking to settle accounts. Do I owe you money or what?"

Su Ran’s voice was full of surprise, "You, such an elevated personage, can actually recognize little old me? I can hardly believe this is true!"

"Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, shut your mouth!"

Withered Fish felt a mysterious surge of anger, and harbored an urge to tear Su Ran to pieces, he said bitterly, "We’re not fools—don’t blabber useless nonsense to me. In the arena, strength is the only thing that talks!"

"OMG, look at the way you’re talking. How can you speak with strength? Come on, demonstrate it for me. If you can grunt out a single word, I’ll take my hat off to you!"

Su Ran cast a scornful look at Withered Fish, as if he’d thought of something, he quickly added, "Of course, fart sounds don’t count!"

"..."

Withered Fish was on the verge of exploding.

"Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, I admit I can’t outtalk you. The arena is for fighting, not for flaunting verbal advantages!"

He took a deep breath and swung the long sword in the air with force; only then did Withered Fish feel the suffocation in his chest lessen considerably.

"Fine, since you insist time and time again, I’ll just have to oblige."

Su Ran sighed, unable to comprehend this guy’s stubbornness. Clearly outmatched, and yet he still puts on such a tough front—isn’t he just asking for embarrassment?

Masochism is a disease that needs curing!

He had thought he could claim a victory without lifting a finger, but with an uncooperative opponent, there was no choice but to fight until he submitted!

It wasn’t that Su Ran looked down on Withered Fish; this guy couldn’t even beat Dancing Demons’ Dai Xuan. At least Dai Xuan knew his limits, abandoning the match on the spot without concern for the chairman’s face. Su Ran really wondered how this guy made it into the top ten—there must be some trickery involved!

With the system’s command, the duel officially began.

"Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, go die!!!"

Withered Fish bellowed in rage, charging forwards with a stomping gait. His whole body surged with vigor, and the murderous intent in his eyes nearly solidified, turning him into a bloodthirsty god of war, igniting the entire arena’s atmosphere.

"Whoosh!"

He hadn’t even crossed half the field when he summoned the Iron Bone Rhinoceros, leaping onto its back and driving it forward.

"Oh man, such a fuss just to summon a mount?"

Su Ran was stunned by Withered Fish’s flamboyant but ineffectual tactics—the sound and fury signifying nothing were truly exaggerated!

"Brother Withered Fish, if this is all the strength you have, then this martial arts tournament will be the end of the line for you!"

Having said that, Su Ran summoned Wang Cai, intending to use the Luck Suppression to disable the Iron Bone Rhinoceros first!

However.

An unexpected incident occurred.

"Bang!"

Before Wang Cai could use its skill, an invisible force suddenly struck, hitting Wang Cai and sending it flying back two paces. What shocked Su Ran even more was that Wang Cai had fallen into a daze.

"A stealth pet?"

It was then that Su Ran realized—he had fallen into Withered Fish’s trap. The whole atmosphere he had created earlier was a diversion for his stealthy creature!

Withered Fish was a dark horse—seemingly dull but sly at heart!

"Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, take this!"

Taking advantage of Su Ran’s momentary distraction, Withered Fish, riding the Iron Bone Rhinoceros, charged forward. His long sword came crashing down with the intent to cleave Su Ran in two!

"Whoosh!"

Su Ran wasn’t foolish enough to engage in close combat with a warrior; he immediately used the Instant Movement skill and disappeared right in front of Withered Fish.

After reappearing, Su Ran summoned a small zombie as his first action.

He was set on making quick work of this guy; there was no need to waste time!

"Thinking of escaping? Ask my sword first!"

Withered Fish fought more fiercely as the battle progressed. He wanted to seize this opportunity to build on his advantage, giving no breathing room to Su Ran, and to make Su Ran realize how unwise it was to anger Withered Fish!

"Mmm mmm."

Under Su Ran’s command, the small zombie started off by using the Soul Bewilderment skill. The Iron Bone Rhinoceros was immediately affected and began circling the arena with Withered Fish on its back.

If ’The Magic Power of Love’ theme was playing in the background, it couldn’t have been more fitting.
