768 If You Play With Fire

No matter if it was the past life or the current life, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was not someone who liked to show off.

In Li Yi's past life, he had secretly sent people to kill Li Yi, but he had never voluntarily stood out himself. He had always liked to lay low.

Based on Li Yi's understanding of him, coming to the Invincible Continent and issuing an open challenge was not Tyrant Sword King the Fifth's style of doing things.

'This f*cker should be hiding behind the scenes scheming, why was he trying to stand out so much?'

"Bzzzttt——"

As the two different Territories clashed with each other, they ended up trying to swallow each other up, causing the range to shrink smaller and smaller.

No matter the size, power, or even quality, Li Yi's Territory was far superior than Tyrant Sword King the Fifth's Faux Territory. After the two Territories repeatedly engulfed each other up for a dozen of seconds, the range for the Frost Realm had been reduced by half, whereas Li Yi's territory was still at 70 yards wide.

The victor was clear!

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth's expression suddenly changed as he quickly moved forward!

If he could not defeat Li Yi in terms of Territory, he had no choice but to get his hands dirty.

"Charge!"

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth turned into an afterimage as he flung himself towards Li Yi.

Li Yi did not falter. He picked up his bow and cast Shooting Star Arrow Hail on Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.

"Pak pak pak pak pak pak…"

It was a brute-force on brute-force battle!

"Bam!"

Tanking through the Shooting Star Arrow Hail, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth furiously slammed himself onto Li Yi's body. He had not fallen after taking so many arrows to the face head on. In fact, there were barely any damage numbers appearing above his head. Amidst Li Yi's usually-lethal Arrow Hail, he had been completely unaffected!

The Frost Emperor Equipment Set had another special effect - "Five-layer Frozen Guard". The skill gives the user damage immunity for five hits. Even though Li Yi's Shooting Star Arrow Hail had terrifying damaging potential, based on the system's judgment, this skill was only counted as a single attack. Hence, it had only broken through one layer of Tyrant Sword King the Fifth's Frozen Guard.

"Abyss-ripping Windstorm!"

The stun from Charge was useless against someone who had mastered their Territory Power. Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was only using Charge to close their distance. Once he managed to get up close and personal to Li Yi, he immediately used "Abyss-ripping Windstorm".

As his body whipped around, a cold wind started whirling up, completely engulfing Li Yi within.

"Ptschh——"

Li Yi's HP continuously dropped. The Weapon Warrior's "Abyss-ripping Windstorm" was on the same level as the Overlord Arrow, it's power was terrifying. As he was stuck within the windstorm, he would continuously get slashed up.

Since Tyrant Sword King the Fifth suddenly closed in, Li Yi's Territory and Tyrant Sword King the Fifth's realm once again overlapped. However, within a split second, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth's Realm had been completely suppressed due to the strength of Li Yi's Territory.

Unable to use his Realm, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth Frost Realm had no choice but to stick on his body.

As the golden Territory shone brighter and brighter, it had started to suppress Tyrant Sword King the Fifth's movements.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth suddenly slowed down. His body was originally spinning at whopping speeds, but now that his actions were slowed down, even a single rotation took a long time.

With that, Li Yi used Teleport to escape from Abyss-ripping Windstorm's shackles.

"Pak!"

Li Yi shot out an arrow. As the spinning Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was still in his spinning animation, he could not dodge. Hence, he had no choice but to eat the arrow to his face as another one of his Frozen Guards shattered.

"Pak! Pak! Pak!"

Li Yi shot another three more arrows, completely breaking all of Tyrant Sword King the Fifth's Frozen Guards. With that, he would not be able to have damage immunity for Li Yi's next attack.

As Li Yi readied his bow, he aimed for Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.

"Shooting Star Arrow Hail!"

"Pak pak pak pak pak pak…"

Countless arrows flew towards Tyrant Sword King the Fifth. If this skill hit, he would definitely be dead!

Right before the Arrow Hail hit, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth suddenly laid down on the ground, as the Shooting Star Arrow Hail flew past his head, not a single one landing.

The Shooting Star Arrow Hail was absurdly strong, but it still had a fatal weakness. When the user was initiating this skill, they would neither be able to move nor change the trajectory of the arrows.

With that, now that Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was laying flat on the ground, although Li Yi had noticed it, he could not control the direction that his Shooting Star Arrow Hail was going. Hence, he had no choice but to stare idly as all of his arrows missed…

Seeing that Li Yi's Shooting Star Arrow Hail was nowhere near its end, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth just rolled to the side and stood up. Holding his Lola's Ice Crystal Sword up high, he approached his prey.

"Ptschhhhhhh——"

The cold air that could be seen by the naked eye started gathering around Lola's Ice Crystal Sword, freezing into ice particles. In the blink of an eye, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth's Lola's Ice Crystal Sword had turned into a frightening Ice Sword that was over thirty meters tall!

"Frost Slash!"

As Tyrant Sword King the Fifth shouted out, the scary ice sword slammed down on Li Yi.

At this point, the distance between the two was still quite far. If Tyrant Sword King the Fifth tried to just run over, with the suppression of Li Yi's Territory, he would never be able to reach Li Yi. However, things were different if he just attacked from where he stood.

Li Yi's Shooting Star Arrow Hail animation was not done yet, so even though Tyrant Sword King the Fifth's Frost Slash was not a fast attack, he could not move his body to dodge. He had no choice but to stand idle by as the giant ice sword slammed down right on his head…

The special skill "Frost Slash" was also an additional skill from the Frost Emperor Equipment Set.

[-276,544]

A frightening six-digit damage number appeared on top of Li Yi's head. In a PvP battle, due to the sheer level of the players' equipment, they would surely have some degree of damage reduction. Take Li Yi's Shooting Star Arrow Hail for example. If it was used on a monster, it would at least be able to deal 30,000,000 HP worth of damage. However, when used on a player, it could barely get a total damage of seven digits. This was the equipment damage reduction coming into play for PvP matches.

This was why Tyrant Sword King the Fifth's Frost Slash was so terrifying. In the game, Li Yi currently had three pieces of Demon God equipment, clad in a full-body of Legendaries, and had a Holy Value of 1001. When facing other players, the damage reduction he had was insane. However, even with all that, he still ate nearly 300,000 damage straight to the face. To Li Yi, this was something that had never happened before…

Even Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut would not have been able to deal so much damage to him!

"Thud!"

Li Yi dropped to the ground facing the sky as the golden light from his Territory slowly dissipated away.

OHKO!

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth rapidly walked up and stabbed Li Yi's corpse through the chest.

This was to prevent Li Yi from using "Keep Going If Alive" to scam him.

"Oof!"

As a [-1] appeared on top of Li Yi's head, this time he was really dead…

All of the players who had witnessed this scene had their jaws dropped.

'What the hell just happened!

'The undisputed God of Archery from the Invincible Continent died just like that?

'How is that possible?

'What the sh*t?!'

"I can't believe it! All this Motherf*cking C*cksucker King the Fifth did was wear that Emperor set, how the hell did he become so OP?"

"F*cking hell, this must be fake… It must be!"

"F*ck me, I'm pissed… This… This… This…"

Li Yi lost…

He lost being one-shot by Tyrant Sword King the Fifth's Frost Slash.

This was the one result all those Li Yi fans in the Invincible Continent could not accept…

They were utterly enraged.

"It's impossible!"

"F*ck, this must be a fluke!"

"I don't believe it!"

"I don't believe it!"

That last shout came from Li Yi's mouth. Then, Li Yi's corpse suddenly stood back up, as he charged towards Tyrant Sword King the Fifth and unleashed his True Overlord Arrow.

"Charge! Blade Storm!"

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had long prepared for that. Before Li Yi's attack hit, he instantly Charged over and used his Blade Storm. Since Li Yi had used a Holy Light Talisman to revive, his HP was still quite low. How could he withstand an attack like that?

"Ptschhhhhh——"

Li Yi's health dropped back down as he tragically dropped to the ground once more…

"Ding!"

A purple light flew out of Li Yi's body as it dropped right in front of Tyrant Sword King the Fifth's feet.

This was Li Yi's "Commander's Ring of Strength" with a Holy+128 attribute!

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth picked up the ring and suddenly laughed heartily, "Bahahahaha…"

"F*CK!"

Li Yi screamed out in rage, as he finally released his soul and started corpse running.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth did not idle there any longer. Before the Invincible Continent's players start to swarm him, he used a Random Teleportation Scroll to leave the locale first.

This time, Li Yi was extremely humiliated…

Even disregarding the fact that he had been one-shot, he had also been killed again right after he revived, even dropping one of his equipment in the process. This kind of humiliation was something a lot of his fans could not believe would happen to him.

'How is that possible?"

"This is definitely impossible!"

"I don't believe it… My Wing Wing… Sob… He's invincible!"

When Tyrant Sword King the Fifth returned back home, this time, there was no escape from becoming famous for him. The God of Archery in the Invincible Continent had died in his hands… Twice…

Once Li Yi came back from corpse running, he ignored everyone else and just Teleported away.

In everybody's eyes, he had really humiliated himself this time…

"My Idol, you've really disappointed me!"

"Invincible Continent's God of Archery? Tsk tsk, so that's as far as the God of Archery can go huh?"

"Dark Wing, next time don't go to the Fluttering Snow Continet, you'll probably get rekt hahahahahahah…."

As the World Channel was in chaos Li Yi's haters were all using this opportunity to trashtalk this poor person. They might not get this opportunity again in the future after all!

At this point, the Fluttering Snow Continent players were the ones having the most fun, followed by the Invincible Continent players. After the two sides went on a back and forth repeatedly, five hours later, a war had broken out.

Once they got tired of arguing, they had to let their weapons do the talking.

"Brothers, we're going to massacre the Fluttering Snow Continent!"

"Brothers, follow me! We will cut our way to the Invincible Continent!"

Since the PK between Li Yi and Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, it had directly led to an all-out war between the two continents. Interestingly, there had not been any major conflicts between the three continents ever since the Foreignlands was released.

"Lil Yi'zi, what a mess you've made! How could you lose to a gigololike him? Do you want big sis to help you beat his *ss?" Queen Jiao was also displeased.

Little Elf from the Magical Realm was even more enraged. "That ring! Holy+128! F*ck that damned bastard!"

Out of Li Yi's girls, only Qian'er remained silent. She did not raise any complaints.

Li Yi DM'd Qian'er, "Qianqian, why aren't you saying anything?"

"What do you want me to say?"

"I just lost don't you think that I was a humiliation?"

"I don't think so, I feel indifferent."

"..."

As the war between nations started, it seemed a bit different from the past. The was this time was quite dispersed. It was spread all throughout the two continents, without a single concentrated battle. In the end, no winner could be decided.

After losing to Tyrant Sword King the Fifth and even dropping a piece of equipment, Li Yi seemed to be completely unaffected. He just went to the Auction House to buy a decent Purple Ring, before raising it to Holy+128. Then, he continued his grinding in the Foreignlands like nothing had happened.

He never even brought up any word of him wanting to get revenge on Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.

'Dark Wing became a coward!'

That was what everyone had thought.

Only Li Yi knew that his actions were not that of a coward. In reality, he just released some slack on the fishing line. He had his eyes set on the bigger fish out there.

The reason he lost to Tyrant King the Fifth, he had intentionally sandbagged…

… Original RAW says ten, though the plot and common sense says otherwise.Original term is literally "Little White Face" which means "gigolo" in Chinese. Usually used to describe weak-looking pretty boys.
