Ding—
A lingering piano note softly echoed in the ear. The arc of light entered Longyan Jixu's body. As her HP gradually increased, the dagger sliced through the air with a cold glint, taking away the last bit of the healer's HP.
Immediately afterwards, Hanjiu Lihe launched a shield bash. The unavoidable skill stunned Wu Hou Qingfeng on the spot. Then, gritting his teeth, he charged towards Lin Shen Jian Lu. The long sword in his hand swept out a jet - black sword light like ink.
Lu Zhihang narrowed his eyes. With a light click of the mouse, he instinctively pressed the skill button with his left hand.
Hiss—!
The piercing pain made Lu Zhihang suck in a sharp breath. At the same time, it caused his character to suddenly pause and be stabbed right through by Hanjiu Lihe's sword.
"Lu...!" Cheng Feng was shocked and quickly prepared to fire a repelling arrow. At this moment, Wu Hou Qingfeng woke up from the stun and quickly blocked the attacks of the other two opponents in front of him. With a single sword strike, he sent the swordsman and the mage flying.
Bang—
The sharp arrow left the bowstring. Without a doubt, Hanjiu Lihe was sent flying. Lu Zhihang quickly replenished his HP and distanced himself from Hanjiu Lihe.
Lin Wan returned to support. She stealthily attacked the mage from behind. Finally, the mage used a spatial leap and disappeared from her sight. She had no choice but to join Wu Hou Qingfeng in besieging the swordsman.
With the assassin's critical hits and the swordsman's restraints, the swordsman on Hanjiu Lihe's side soon fell into a passive position. The mage quickly launched a large - area group attack towards Lin Wan.
Lu Zhihang raised his hand to cast a shield on everyone, and then replenished Lin Wan's HP.
Everyone immediately turned back to rescue Cheng Feng, who was being restrained by Hanjiu Lihe. The four of them surrounded Hanjiu Lihe.
At this moment, the mage suddenly threw down a large - area control skill. Seeing this, Lu Zhihang quickly used a skill to retreat. Wu Hou Qingfeng also used a displacement skill to get away from the attack. However, Cheng Feng and Lin Wan were not so lucky. They were stunned. Lu Zhihang quickly used a skill to remove the stun, and then used the piano music to restrict the mage's movement and skills.
Soon, they cooperated with Cheng Feng to kill the mage. Dealing with the remaining two melee attackers was much easier. They basically defeated them without much effort.
[System Message: Hanjiu Lihe's team has been defeated. All equipment and items belong to Lin Shen Jian Lu's team. Hanjiu Lihe, Wu Yu Gui, Hua Diao Ling, and Can Yue Gu Sheng have been sent back to the starting point and restored to the Qi - training stage.]
Lin Wan never expected that the entire PK would be so smooth. Although there were a few moments of danger, from beginning to end, it was just a false alarm. It seemed that the outcome was already determined the moment the healer was forced out of the battle by Cheng Feng. The well - known ace team in the entire server was just defeated like this. It was like a dream.
"Okay, bye. I've got something to do and I'm going offline." Lin Wan only reacted after hearing Cheng Feng's words.
Wu Hou Qingfeng had disappeared at some point. After saying that, Cheng Feng also logged off.
"Did they just leave like that?" Lin Wan was puzzled.
Lu Zhihang smiled and replied with an "mm", saying, "They have a lot of things to do. They're usually quite busy."
Lin Wan let out an "oh" and returned to the city gate of Baidi City with Lu Zhihang. Lu Zhihang reached out to take the mission poster. This time, no one came out to make a fuss. Everyone shut up.
The system mission appeared on both of their screens. Lin Wan read it once, then opened the map and murmured in a low voice, "I wonder if Jing Nanheng is online. I haven't seen any news about him recently."
Lu Zhihang coughed lightly and said, "Well, Longyan?"
"En?" Lin Wan responded while looking at the map.
"Let's not be in a hurry today. We can do this mission in a few days. The mission has a one - month time limit." Lu Zhihang said.
Lin Wan was stunned for a moment and shifted her gaze away from the map. "Why?"
"Cough, I accidentally got injured at work today. I can't move my left hand." Lu Zhihang was a bit nervous when he said this. He was worried that Lin Wan would guess his identity if he said so. He didn't want to tell Lin Wan yet.
Lin Wan was stunned for a moment. Obviously, she didn't react at first. Soon, she associated it with Lu Zhihang's very strange sudden pause during the PK. At that time, she also faintly heard the sound of him sucking in a breath. She didn't understand it at that time, but now she realized that Lu Zhihang was injured.
"So that's why you were rushed by Hanjiu Lihe during the PK just now?"
Lu Zhihang was stunned for a moment and said somewhat awkwardly, "Yes. I didn't react at that time and used my injured hand."
"Okay, then you should take good care of your injury. We'll do the mission after you recover." Lin Wan seemed to sigh softly.
Lu Zhihang let out a couple of "mm" sounds. He thought that Lin Wan sighed because he was injured and they couldn't do the mission. Immediately, he said, "It's okay. I've asked someone. Jing Nanheng hasn't been online these days. It's in the limelight now. It's not that easy. Let's wait."
Lin Wan blinked her eyes, let out an "um" sound, and then nodded and said, "Okay."
After that, because of Lu Zhihang's injury, the two quickly logged off. As soon as Lin Wan logged off, she saw Ye Zi coming in through the door from outside.
"Yo, why didn't I see you playing games today?" Ye Zi asked, chewing on potato chips and raising her eyebrows at Lin Wan.
Lin Wan tapped her finger on the computer on the bedside table. "I just closed it. Did you go on a date with your boyfriend?"
"No. Where do I have a boyfriend? I went shopping with a junior. It was a very innocent kind of outing, though." Ye Zi said with a beaming smile.
Lin Wan let out a couple of "mm" sounds and casually picked up a review material from the bedside table and started reading.
"Are you going home tomorrow?" Ye Zi asked.
Lin Wan was stunned for a moment. She calmly turned a page and looked at the time. "It depends. Anyway, there's no one at home. It's meaningless for me to go back."
Ye Zi nodded and took her pajamas into the bathroom.
Lin Wan had been alone for a long time, so long that she didn't even want to recall when it started. From childhood to adulthood, she had never had a friend who could stay with her for more than three years. So she wasn't very enthusiastic about the term "friend".
After reading the book until around 11 p.m., Lin Wan went to bed.
At this time, Lu Zhihang was annoyed by the phone call.
"Got it, got it. It's really not a serious injury. It's just a small place... mm, okay, I'll use it. Don't worry." Lu Zhihang held a can of Coke in one hand and propped himself up on the living - room bar with the other. The blue glow shone on his face, making him look a bit cold.
"Ha, no. Don't let big brother come. I won't open the door for him!" Hearing something, Lu Zhihang let out a "ha" sound and quickly said.
"Come on, I'm really okay. Second brother came to see me today. You two can rest assured!" Lu Zhihang said with a smile and a little whine, shaking his head.
"mm, I haven't chased her yet. I'll take her home to meet you two when the time comes. You'll definitely like her. She's a really beautiful girl!" Lu Zhihang hooked the corner of his mouth. The hand holding the Coke tapped on the bar. The sound - activated light came on. He said a few more words before hanging up the phone.
