CHAPTER 426: CHAPTER 426: FACE SLAP PAIN

Suddenly——

A faint sound of something slicing through the air reached Ji You’s ears—so faint it was almost inaudible. Even the audience who had been watching intently saw nothing more than Little Shengsheng executing several keystrokes with her usual mechanical precision.

But Ji You knew a huge crisis was upon her!

Sweat appeared on Ji You’s forehead, her complexion a bit pale, but she clenched her teeth and dodged frantically. Her speed was unbelievably fast; her mecha turned into a flashing white light, and all the tracking particle cannons missed their mark, falling through the air in vain.

missile!

Among them, there was one missile with deadly danger. Yet, the one Ji You was tensely watching had an erratic trajectory and was impossible to track.

Terrifying!

Ji You had expanded her entire Spiritual Silk Network to cover every inch of space within the range of her spiritual perception, but she still couldn’t capture its movement, let alone interfere with it.

The fatal strike was imminent, ready to detonate at any moment...

The audience members widened their eyes, not wanting to miss any detail.

Audience A: "Rag Queen is struggling against Little Shengsheng."

Audience B: "Before, I thought Rag Queen’s sniping ability was terrifying enough, but compared to Little Shengsheng, there’s still a slight gap. At least we can clearly see Rag Queen’s lethal attacks from outside; however, Little Shengsheng is like a seasoned hunter—although you clearly know she has launched an attack on her prey, you’re completely clueless about what moves she’s using..."

Audience C: "How is Rag Queen going to break through this round?"

Audience D: "Rag Queen! Hold out for 8 more seconds and we’ll have enough time to save face. Hang in there!"

Ji You: "..."

Ji You really wanted to tell these spectators who enjoyed the chaos to shut up, but she had no spare energy to pay them any attention. At that point, every millisecond, every microsecond, could be a fatal crisis or an opportunity for survival...

If she couldn’t capture it, couldn’t escape it—

Then—

At that moment, Ji You’s eyes sharpened, her figure paused just for an instant, and the concealed deadly particle cannon charged straight at her in that split second.

Whoosh—

Taking a dangerous bet to lure out the particle cannon, Ji You immediately, without hesitation and under the astonished gaze of everyone, didn’t dodge or avoid but instead charged straight towards the missile.

Audience: "???"

Ji You furrowed her brow, screaming in her mind: [Boss! Second! Third! Fourth! Old Five! Sixth! Charge! Whether we win or lose this round is all up to you!]

Six Strands: [Ahhh!!! How come it’s active again?]

Ji You roared: [Win, and you get endless Candy Beans, lose and you starve for three months! Make your choice!]

Six Strands: [Ahhh!!! Roger that! Mission will be accomplished!]

It was at this moment, as the six plump Spiritual Silk had made their vow, that the particle cannon about to hit Ji You skewed slightly in the split second it was about to make impact...

second.

It veered off course for only 1 second, but that was enough. Ji You seized the gap, leaping powerfully up and charging towards Little Shengsheng—

How could Little Shengsheng just wait for her doom? Even without understanding Ji You’s intentions right away, the moment Ji You changed direction, she moved swiftly from her original position, creating distance from Ji You. In the next moment, she drew out a cold Big Chopper, slashing at the several cannons fired by Ji You.

Clash~

One slash.

Two slashes.

Three slashes.

Every slash was on target...

Audience seats: "Beastly! Truly beastly!"

Suddenly——

Audience seats: "!!! What the heck?"

Little Shengsheng also, in an instant, saw the Rag Queen who was now within arm’s reach, her pupils constricting slightly—

Audience A: "When did she get over there?"

Audience B: "Did my eyes deceive me just now?"

Audience C: "Rewind! We have to rewind to see this clearly."

Audience D: "After the replay, I understood. Her speed reached its peak in the instant Little Shengsheng stopped. Little Shengsheng was busy dealing with the incoming Particle Cannon, so for half a second she didn’t notice, but it was during that half second, Rag Queen suddenly accelerated!"

It was at the moment a hint of surprise flashed in Little Shengsheng’s eyes, and the audience was shocked, that Ji You, controlling Blade, suddenly spread her arms and hugged Little Shengsheng’s Mecha’s thigh!

Ji You held onto the mechanical arm tightly, without letting go.

Little Shengsheng’s eyebrows slightly furrowed...

Suddenly—

The Particle Cannon that Little Shengsheng had fired earlier to seize Ji You’s Life Value, following her trail, struck—

Boom—

As the Particle Cannon exploded in the air, a huge mushroom cloud rose...

When the smoke cleared, the true scene inside the arena was revealed.

Ji You, piloting Blade, lifted her elbow slightly...

Audience gasped: "After a mutual destruction, Rag Queen didn’t die, she won?"

But as the audience was still in shock, on the other side, Little Shengsheng’s shattered and deformed Mecha also twitched its leg slightly.

Audience clicked their tongues: "Neither died? They both survived this?"

Beasts—

Two beasts.

In that critical moment, Ji You knew there was no escape, and because of her weak Physical Strength, she couldn’t last a prolonged war of attrition, she had to resolve the battle quickly. Therefore, she launched the most intense Spiritual Interference, slightly misdirecting the Particle Cannon that was locked onto her by an inch, and then charged toward Little Shengsheng, prepared to drag her opponent down with her if she was to die. But unexpectedly, Little Shengsheng reacted very swiftly, giving Ji You no chance.

Helpless, Ji You had to create another opportunity.

After several feint movements, she exhausted all her Physical Strength and spiritual power just to grab onto one of the opponent’s Mecha legs...

...

Audience: "Who will it be?

Under everyone’s gaze, Little Shengsheng, holding a Big Chopper gleaming with a cold luster, limped towards Rag Queen like a drunken madman, while Ji You also shook her mecha slightly and then suddenly stopped moving.

Audience: "???"

A few seconds later, Rag Queen still didn’t move.

Audience: "Is she dead? Playing dead?"

Definitely playing dead!

The audience was somewhat familiar with Rag Queen’s tricky moves; this wasn’t the first or second time she had feigned death.

Then—

Everyone heard the system announcement: [Little Shengsheng is victorious this match!]

Audience: "!!!"

It wasn’t a bluff!

Little Shengsheng’s eyebrows furrowed, and then, she left the battlefield.

Audience: "What’s going on? Little Shengsheng didn’t even start using her blade. She just died by herself?"

"Dead?"

"Really dead?"

"Could it be fake? The system has officially announced the result, how could it be fake?"

"Queen! Let’s not cry! 3 seconds later, you’re still a hero, so don’t lie there foolishly, the ground is cold, it’s not good for your health."

Ji You: "..."

Ji You took a deep breath and still kept silent.

Face-slapped.

It hurts.

She was too embarrassed to speak.
