Chapter 117: A Serious Dart

The officer stepped onto the stage and looked at Jiang Kai and Di Sang.

"Your personal agreement has nothing to do with the match. I still need to reiterate the rules—both sides must achieve victory solely by eliminating all members of the opposing team."

Jiang Kai turned to look at his teammates.

Hu Yan, Ruan Yu, and Yuan Zhu Nuannuan all looked at him calmly.

In their eyes, Jiang Kai saw absolute trust.

"Do both captains understand?"

"We understand," Di Sang and Jiang Kai said simultaneously.

The second-tier team competition finals had now evolved into a personal duel between Di Sang, the captain of the Wolong Squad from the Azure Dragon Guild, and Jiang Kai, the captain of the Fire God Squad from the Lord God Guild.

With the referee's command, the final battle began.

Di Sang drew his longsword from its scabbard and tossed the scabbard to the ground.

Meanwhile, Jiang Kai already held a Chasing Nine Tribulations in his hand.

Hu Yan and the other four stood quietly at the edge of the arena, watching the final battle.

Suddenly, Di Sang's pupils contracted, and he let out a low shout, "JIANG KAI, YOU ARE DOOMED TO LOSE!" With that, he charged at Jiang Kai at high speed.

His movement was incredibly fast. Jiang Kai roughly judged that this person, like Xu Tianxiang, must have an agility bonus.

However, Di Sang had yet to enter Jiang Kai's attack range. Jiang Kai remained still, his eyes locked onto his opponent.

A few seconds later, Di Sang was already within four to five meters of Jiang Kai. At that moment, Jiang Kai finally made his move.

Four Chasing Nine Tribulationss shot toward Di Sang at high speed.

As long as his opponent did not use the Super Magnetic Treasure Jade, Jiang Kai could unleash infinite attacks with the Chasing Nine Tribulationss in his hands.

Against someone without armor, Jiang Kai was fully confident he could take down Di Sang.

However, at that moment, Di Sang let out a low shout, "Ghost Trace Shadowless Slash!"

His speed suddenly multiplied several times, reaching an astonishing level, allowing him to dodge the Chasing Nine Tribulationss even at close range.

"So fast!" Someone in the audience exclaimed.

This Ghost Trace Shadowless Slash not only greatly enhanced his movement but also combined speed with attack.

In the blink of an eye, a cold blade was already slashing toward Jiang Kai.

"So strong! Di Sang's speed is terrifying!", Hu Yan's eyes widened, "Under Ghost Trace Shadowless Slash, he's even faster than Xu Tianxiang!"

"This is bad, Kai can't dodge this hit," Yuan Zhu exclaimed in a low voice.

Jiang Kai's agility was indeed inferior to Di Sang's. Just as the opponent's sword was about to strike, Jiang Kai's left hand trembled, launching another four Chasing Life darts directly at Di Sang.

Di Sang reacted extremely quickly. Noticing the darts coming at him, he immediately twisted his body, sidestepping to evade the attack while his longsword continued its downward slash.

Di Sang's reactions and movements were incredibly fast. Even when faced with Jiang Kai's Chasing Life darts, he could still dodge and attack at the same time.

His entire sequence of movements flowed seamlessly, without any pause, as if the Chasing Life darts had never affected him at all.

Jiang Kai was already in the process of recalling the scattered darts, but clearly, he was too late.

The sword strike was unstoppable and was about to pierce Jiang Kai's chest.

"Phantom Form," Jiang Kai shouted in a low voice, and his figure immediately became blurry.

Using Phantom Form to resist an attack, Jiang Kai swiftly pulled back, creating distance.

Di Sang paused slightly—after all, not everyone knew that Jiang Kai had Ghost Armor.

But as an expert, he quickly realized what had happened, narrowing his eyes slightly, "Ghost Armor!"

Suddenly, a few cold flashes of light shot from behind him. Di Sang had no time to think and instantly dodged to evade the Chasing Life darts.

In the blink of an eye, the two had already exchanged a round of attacks.

In this brief but perilous encounter, Di Sang had broken through Jiang Kai's Ghost Armor, securing the first round.

The Chasing Life darts returned to Jiang Kai's hand. He narrowed his eyes slightly, reassessing the long-haired man before him.

'No wonder this guy was so confident.'

In terms of personal strength, Di Sang was far superior to people like Huang Da and Xu Tianxiang. Not only did he have an agility-enhancing talent, but his Ghost Trace Shadowless Slash combined speed and attack, leaving Jiang Kai unable to dodge.

Di Sang did not rush to launch another attack. He looked at Jiang Kai and sneered, "I watched your battle with Xu Tianxiang. Back then, I imagined myself in his place. I'm not boasting, but I was confident I could dodge all your darts."

"I just didn't expect you to have Ghost Armor. Otherwise, you would have lost just now."

"You are nothing in front of me, Jiang Kai!"

Jiang Kai quietly watched Di Sang, his expression rarely darkening.

"Di Sang, apart from the Beast, you are the first person below Tier 2 who has made me feel pressured."

"Moreover, you seem to have ignited my competitive spirit," Jiang Kai said in a deep voice.

Having broken Jiang Kai's Ghost Armor with a single move, Di Sang had forced a transformation in Jiang Kai—his gaze became razor-sharp.

Not far away, Yuan Zhu frowned and turned to Nuannuan, "Nuannuan, I'm not happy with what Kai just said. Shouldn't I be the one giving him pressure?"

Nuannuan rolled her eyes at Yuan Zhu and replied perfunctorily, "Maybe when you're drunk."

Now was not the time to argue with Yuan Zhu. Nuannuan immediately refocused on the battlefield, "Come to think of it, we haven't seen Jiang Kai go all out in a long time."

Hu Yan nodded, "Aside from the last battle with the Fishman Lord, it's true that Kai hasn't been this serious in a while."

"He's never used his Level 2 skills in other battles."

At that moment, Jiang Kai made a shocking move.

He dropped seven of the eight Chasing Nine Tribulationss at his feet, holding only one in his hand.

"Quenching!"

Flames ignited around the Chasing Life dart.

Seeing this, Di Sang frowned.

Jiang Kai held only one dart in his hand and looked at Di Sang, saying flatly, "I can tell you this—none of my previous eight attacks triggered a critical hit… So this one has a 90% chance of critical."

The Chasing Life dart's properties were no secret, and a 90% critical chance was terrifying enough.

Not to mention that Jiang Kai had quenched the dart in flames—once ignited, it had a 90% chance of a critical hit!

"So what?"

"So, you will die from this dart," Jiang Kai said flatly.

Di Sang sneered, "If I can dodge eight darts, why wouldn't I dodge one? Jiang Kai, you're gambling with your teammates' lives on a battle you have no chance of winning."

"Gambling?", Jiang Kai chuckled at the word and said something that many did not understand.

"Actually, I've never liked gambling."

Di Sang was puzzled but didn't dwell on it. He lifted his longsword again.

This time, Jiang Kai had no Ghost Armor—if he took the hit, he wouldn't escape.

Di Sang let out a low shout, "Ghost Trace Shadowless Slash!" His figure reached peak speed again, almost forming afterimages as he instantly closed the gap with Jiang Kai.

The audience held their breath, knowing that even a blink could mean missing the decisive moment.

Di Sang closed in rapidly, and Jiang Kai stood still, gripping the single Chasing Life dart, eyes locked onto the incoming afterimage.

At the last moment, Jiang Kai's eyes focused sharply, and he shouted, "Fraud State! Gambler's Time!"

In that instant, Di Sang's mind froze for a brief moment.

Though it lasted only an instant, their close distance made that moment enough to change the outcome.

Before he could react, a flaming dart had already pierced through his chest.

Immediately after, he couldn't even see Jiang Kai make a move—a flaming throwing knife had already pierced through his chest.

Everything happened too fast for people to comprehend what was going on. They only saw Di Sang's body being struck by an immense force, not only preventing him from continuing to lunge at Jiang Kai but also sending his entire body hurtling backward.

Chasing Life had not triggered a critical hit in the previous eight attacks—it was only on the ninth attack that a critical hit appeared.

Such a situation was extremely rare. At the same time, with Jiang Kai's ninth throw, Chasing Life's effect had accumulated to a 90% critical hit probability, in addition to a 90% increase in critical hit damage.

Jiang Kai's base critical hit multiplier was 200 times. With an additional 90%, that resulted in 380 times critical hit damage.

Such terrifying damage was as unbelievable as Chasing Life failing to land a critical hit for eight consecutive throws.

Under the immense force, Di Sang's entire body was blasted backward like a cannonball, flying dozens of meters before crashing heavily into the steel wire net.

Meanwhile, the ignition effect on his body turned him into a ball of fire. As the violent flames raged, Di Sang's entire body was shredded into hundreds of flaming pieces by the steel wire net…

The thrilling, heart-stopping final battle came to an abrupt and unexpected end.

The only thing left at the scene was the burning fragments remaining on the steel wire net.

As they watched those burning remnants on the net, the tens of thousands of spectators at the scene fell into a terrifying silence.
