Chapter 737: Chicken Dinner on the Cliff! (Part 1)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The two Western commentators could not close their mouths when they saw Liu Zilang kill Li Muqiu with his ‘Shadow Clone Technique”. They looked like two stupid ducks…

It has to be mentioned that despite the years of experience the two veteran Western commentators had, they had not seen such an unorthodox line of play by a ‘tactical genius’ of such level!

As for Li Muqiu, at the moment of his death.

The major events of his life flashed past his eyes.

From seeing Liu Zilang throw several smoke grenades in a row, up to the point where he appeared behind his back… the scenes flashed past his mind like a slideshow.

After a long time, he sighed dejectedly.

He had underestimated the shamelessness of that person’s tactics after all!

He looked skyward, unable to utter a word.

…

In the match.

Liu Zilang did not feel any guilt as he greedily lapped up the contents of the crate while giving a thumbs up to his own intelligence.

‘If it’s not dirty, it’s not tactics!’

The blue circle was right up his butt by the time he had finished looting.

Liu Zilang was not in a hurry to run away. Instead, he filled up his boost meter by downing an energy drink before dashing into the circle.

Without any physical cover along the way, his journey into the safe zone was a perilous one.

If someone at the edge of the safe zone noticed him, there was nowhere that he could hide.

If he was careless, he would end up dead on the spot.

There was nothing else he could do. With that idiot Li Muqiu dragging his feet, he had to eliminate him. Otherwise, he would have had to face danger from his front and his back.

In other words, his current situation was already an improvement from his previous predicament…

On Hua Xia’s commentary platform.

“Vic is already taking circle damage. His position was in the center of the previous circle, so his current distance to the next circle isn’t too far. However, it’s not near either.”

“I think the third-last circle is still fine, it’s not as painful as one might think. Vic’s biggest obstacle is still anyone blocking his way in.”

“We can still see that there are twenty-one people left on the battlefield. There’s a high chance that Vic will bump into someone.”

“More bad news for Vic. The people ranked above him in terms of overall standings: Satan, Karl and Master Ze… are still alive. This means that Vic cannot afford to fall at this moment.”

“Oh, look! Someone is waiting for him at the edge of the safe zone after all!”

“Oh my god, it’s Captain Karl! Looks like when it rains, it pours…”

“Karl’s focus is placed on the area beyond the safe zone now. It’s not likely that Vic will find an easy way into the safe zone.”

“…”

The hearts of the live stream viewers began to beat a little faster when they saw this scene.

It was like watching someone walk across a tightrope without a safety device. No one could guess if there would be a sudden gust of wind.

The caster was broadcasting a fight near the seaside cliff. Then, he shifted the camera to Liu Zilang’s position next to the safe zone.

‘Had he been discovered?’ Everyone was anxious to find out!

He had indeed been discovered.

However, it was Liu Zilang who had discovered Karl first.

He did not opt for a confrontation since he was still outside the safe zone. Instead, a smoke grenade appeared in his hand. He jumped as he ran and then flung the smoke grenade toward the edge of the safe zone.

Clank!

Pssht~!

As the smoke grenade landed on the ground, Karl noticed Liu Zilang coming in from the northeastern direction.

The two had some distance between them.

He had only scoped in and fired two bullets when his field of vision was filled with thick white smoke.

Meanwhile, Liu Zilang took the opportunity to unarm his weapon and dashed forward.

Karl furrowed his brows when he saw this.

He did not know the identity of this intruder. Still, he did not discriminate. A kill was a kill after all.

As he ran toward the flank, he unarmed his gun and then pulled out a frag grenade.

He estimated the position of that person as he entered the safe zone and then flung the grenade toward his location with an overhand throw.

Immediately, another frag grenade appeared in his hand.

Karl transformed into a ‘bomber plane’ in the fight.

Under normal logic, Liu Zilang would have suffered quite a lot of circle damage by the time he entered the safe zone.

The grenades that Karl threw could have killed him even if they were not direct hits.

However, he had forgotten that Liu Zilang was not a player who abided by normal logic. The smokescreen was, again, just a diversion.

From God’s perspective on the caster’s camera, Liu Zilang was seen running diagonally behind his opponent while using the smokescreen as cover. He first laid prone and then used a first aid kit on himself.

Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions rocked the smokescreen. Balls of fire emerged from within the smoke.

Karl’s brows began to lock tighter and tighter as he clenched his last frag grenade.

His keen senses realized that something was definitely amiss.

Karl carefully kept the frag grenade in his backpack. He then silently pulled out his MK14 again and swept his eyes over the surrounding field.

“Haha, Vic is going places with that one trick. He managed to fool Karl. It looks like Guru Qiu’s spirit can rest in peace.”

“Now that Karl has realized that something is amiss. He must be guessing that Vic is somewhere nearby, he doesn’t know that Vic hasn’t entered the safe zone yet.”

“Oh! Vic has just used a first aid kit. He’s going back into the smokescreen again.”

“Isn’t he worried that Karl might throw another frag grenade into the smoke?”

As the commentators spoke doubtfully, on the big screen of the tournament, Liu Zilang was seen standing up within the smokescreen. His walking pace broke into a run as he pulled out the crossbow that was slung to his back.

Without any hesitation, he ran toward Karl.

Once he was out of the smokescreen, there was no physical cover between the two players. This meant that Liu Zilang was going for a face-to-face confrontation!

Wow!

The ones with the biggest reactions were, of course, the Western audience and live commentators.

After the three matches of the day, they were accustomed to Liu Zilang’s bag of cunning tricks.

Suddenly! His aura changed as he transformed from a trickster to a ‘macho man’ like Stallone.

They needed some time to get used to it.

Liu Zilang, clutching his crossbow, was already touching the thin veil that was at the edge of the smokescreen.

At the same time, Karl, who was wielding an MK14, realized that something was coming from the smokescreen. The pupils in his eyes constricted!

He aimed at the vague silhouette at the edge of the smokescreen with his gun and started shooting!

Tut tut tut!

Bullets fell like rain as the muzzle of his MK14 flashed!

However, that did not deter Liu Zilang from running out of the smokescreen. The instant he emerged from behind the smokescreen, the sound of a bowstring was heard!

A crossbow bolt was fired!

Swish!

A crossbow bolt whizzed past the grassy field, and it headed straight for Karl’s face!

By the time Karl realized what was going on, the tip of the crossbow bolt had already pierced his skull.

Crack!

The dull black level three helmet on his head shattered. He fell, stunned, to the ground.

“4AM-Vic killed SKK-Karl by headshot with crossbow!”

17 Kills!

The arena was immediately filled with surprised cries when the audience saw this crossbow kill!

No one had expected Liu Zilang to bring down Karl who was in third place in terms of overall score rankings!

Meanwhile, the blue circle coincided with the boundary of the safe zone. The audience looked at the circle that had refreshed and hissed.

The second last circle was seen to have been split into neat halves by the seaside cliff.
