Chapter 703 – Double Kills
Xiang Yu was aware of his disadvantages. He sent a voice transmission to his friends, hoping to get some help.
'My lane needs assistance. Mao Miaomiao is dominating the bridge!'
His request was reasonable. Hades soon replied.
'What's his level?''Four.'
'Essence gathering stage? But aren't you a meridian establishment stage? Isn't fighting across ranks in mortal stages easy?'
'Try coming here and stand in front of Mao Miaomiao. You'll understand how menacing he is!'
'It's that severe?'
'It's damn troublesome. His essence volume and element Qi are absurd. He's as strong as a golden core or a dao pillar cultivator at this point.'
'I see that you're fighting a heaven's chosen protagonist for the first time. Just avoid a direct confrontation and wait until level 6 or 7. By then, we should be able to use Dao skills, and our Daos should be enough to suppress or kill him.'
'I might die a few times if I wait that long.''Hug the tower, then.'
Xiang Yu clicked his tongue as Hades was not cooperative. Since his friends couldn't help, he turned to Marcus.
"Brat, if we keep this up, we both are going to lose! Let's have a truce and help me kill that man!"
Marcus raised his brows. He readily agreed, "Nice idea. Let's go!"
"That's the spirit! Mao Miaomiao, you're dead!"
Marcus and Xiang Yu stopped attacking each other even though their minions continued to engage in battles. They rushed out from their tower, charging at Miaomiao.
As Xiang Yu came with a horse, his speed was faster than Marcus. He reached Miaomiao first.
Miaomiao snickered, finding Xiang Yu cute.
"Nice try."
An ice spike shot up from the ground below Xiang Yu's warhorse. The ice impaled the creature and froze it.
Xiang Yu jumped off his horse and empowered his halberd with Life Essence. His polearm hacked down, aiming at Miaomiao's head.
Miaomiao leisurely swung his katana, deflecting the incoming halberd.
CLANK
As soon as their weapons collided, Xiang Yu's stance was destroyed because of Miaomiao's overwhelming force and physical strength.
The war god realized another mistake.
"Physique cultivator! You cultivated your physique when you were a mortal?!"
Miaomiao snapped his fingers and a hundred tank toys manifested and surrounded Xiang Yu. He turned toward Marcus as he answered the war god's question.
"To be honest, no. But I have this god-like bloodline of a Chaos Seraphim, demonic war angel, war droid, and whatever dragon bloodlines Devil shoved onto me. And by the way, when my strength got stuck at the 4th-stage, I had this amazing trollish skill."
CLICK
Miaomiao snickered as he folded his hand and pressed the invisible button. Then, the hundred small tanks with skull faces shouted in unison.
"LOOK OVER HERE!"
BOOM
As if Miaomiao detonated a napalm bomb at close range, everything on the bridge erupted.
Marcus, who was in the middle of his skill motion, got caught in the explosions. His fleshly body and bones were incinerated to dust!
<DOUBLE KILL!>
400 gold coins were instantly added to Miaomiao's stash, but he wasn't satisfied. He fired ice bullets at the minions and pushed the waves to his rivals' towers once more.
But this time, Miaomiao ignored the threat of the turrets and used his minions as meat shields. Although he felt bad for the female minions, he needed to sacrifice them to advance.
"Killer Queen, steal this tower's energy!"
'Oh, yeah!'
Killer Queen penetrated into the tower, and a long red bar above the tower began to decrease.
While Killer Queen sapped the strength of the tower, the defensive turret rained rockets at the minions. Within five seconds, all minions were wiped out.
Miaomiao glanced at the turret's HP. It decreased by 5%. Moreover, his progress was nowhere near the partitioned line, which indicated a plate bonus.
In many MOBA games, champions could obtain bonus gold by decreasing towers HP to a certain extent within the first 15 minutes of the game. Players called this plating bonus as the towers were protected by plates, which increased the defensive towers' defense.
In this game, it worked similarly. Miaomiao failed to get a plating destruction bonus as his minions all died first.
Miaomiao pulled out Killer Queen and leaped to the safety zone outside the turret range. He cursed at Heavenly Dao Faction's turrets.
'This freaking game is totally brutal. Any turret can one-shot minions. And I have been fighting for four waves, but there is no cannon wave!'
This was the difference between MOBA games and Pangu's death game. This cheater didn't spawn cannons for players and the participants. Moreover, turrets were so overpowered that no one under unrestrained sage realm could withstand more than one rocket or missile.
Miaomiao pondered about how he could destroy these towers. He thought about runes, but Mu-Nyang and Pangu disallowed every participant to have them.
'I guess we have to rely on our raw power. How about I attack them from a long-range?'
Miaomiao stood outside of the turret range, but he pointed his finger at Heavenly Dao's turret. He summoned ice lances and tank toys to attack it.
BOOM
It worked. The health bar of the tower decreased by a little.
Miaomiao was relieved that he now had a way to destroy the towers. Now, he simply needed more strength and time.
Unfortunately, the Qi and Essence consumption of Miaomiao's skill was as quick as his ejaculation. After firing two sets of attack, Miaomiao's essence and elemental Qi was almost depleted.
'I wish I have those cookies. Oh, well. One more wave and I'll TP.'
While waiting for a new wave, Miaomiao leaped down from the bridge toward the east and put a ward in a bush. Then, he went further in and put a sensor lens in a small bush at the center of the east river. Afterward, he flew back to the bridge.
Miaomiao expanded the vision range of his faction's mini-map by putting a free ward and a pink ward. Now, he could easily spot the enemy's junglers or roaming hostile fighters if they were nearby.
But as Miaomiao was heading back to the bridge, his pink ward detected a flying demon on a flying scythe. The mini-map showed the icon with Hades' face, and the icon was traveling toward the center bridge.
VING!
A red caution ping appeared near Miaomiao. It came from Ma Moxi.
'Miaomiao, Hades at mid lane.'
'I see him.'
'If he comes after you, kite him to the west bush. I'll counter gank.'
'Roger.'
Miaomiao stood still at the center of the bridge, pretending that he hadn't noticed Hades' arrival.
Hades flew over bushes and didn't pay attention to anything inside. He simply beelined toward Miaomiao.
Seeing that Miaomiao didn't notice him, Hades uncloaked his stealth skill and appeared behind the former, revealing the aura of a 4th-stage cultivator.
Hades swung his scythe down!
WHOOSH
The attack missed!
As if Miaomiao had transformed into a tarnished protagonist, he rolled to the ground and sprinted away from Hades.
Seeing that Miaomiao was retreating, Hades frowned and glanced at his system screen, checking the status bar at the top left corner.
The top left corner showed the HP and Qi bar of his target, aka Miaomiao. Currently, Miaomiao was low on Qi, but his HP was full.
'I see. He runs out of Qi!'
At first, Hades was cautious if Miaomiao had plotted something. But seeing how Miaomiao frantically fled the bridge and his Qi was low, the death god pursued.
Miaomiao jumped off the bridge and ran on top of the west shallow river.
VIING
A blue flag appeared in a bush in the middle of the river. Again, the ping came from Ma Moxi, telling Miaomiao to lead Hades there.
As instructed, Miaomiao fled toward the bush.
HIIIIIIIII
Unfortunately, Xiang Yu was respawned and rushed here as well. He heard the order of Hades and came here to target Miaomiao.
Xiang Yu appeared from the jungle on the opposite side of his faction's jungle territory. As if his horse was on weed, its mouth foamed while its eyes were bloodshot. Its skin also turned red.
That was Xiang Yu's riding skill, which could boost his traveling speed in any terrain. Although the skill was useless later on, Xiang Yu still remembered how to use them.
"…"
Miaomiao turned around and swung his katana at the horse.
As if the warhorse could remember its two earlier deaths, it raised the two front hooves and dodged the strike!
"Huh?"
Miaomiao was surprised. He kicked the ground and avoided a pincer attack from both Hades and Xiang Yu.
As Miaomiao managed to exploit his boots and movement speed, Hades couldn't catch up to him. Also, Xiang Yu lost his momentum because of the horse.
"GET BACK HERE, COWARD!"
Miaomiao looked back. He also glanced at their current levels.
Xiang Yu was still level 3, but Hades was 4!
"Oh, boy."
Miaomiao created another tank toy and threw it toward Hades. The latter swatted it away with his scythe.
"WATCH OUT!!"
It was too late to warn the god of the underworld. The bomb detonated!
The skin of Hades was turned to ash, but the fiery hell flame failed to kill him!
Hades rushed out of the sea flame. His myth-grade scythe pursued after Miaomiao's neck.
CLANK
Miaomiao raised the katana and blocked the sharp blade from touching his neck. However, the momentum and the force behind the strange weapon knocked Miaomiao away.
"DIE!!"
Xiang Yu laughed as his horse stomped on Miaomiao's chest. His halberd thrust toward the latter's face.
SWUA
"Eh?"
Suddenly, the vision of Xiang Yu span. He somehow saw his headless silhouette on the warhorse, holding a halberd and staying still.
The next second, a flying dagger plunged into Hades' chest. The shadow silhouette teleported behind him with two long blades, ignoring the napalm flame nearby.
CLANK
Hades blocked the two long blades with both arms. His scythe moved by itself and spun, flying toward the invisible protagonist.
SWUA
The rotating scythe cut off one of Ma Moxi's arms. The latter suddenly kicked the ground and spun as well. However, he tossed a hundred knives at Hades while he rotated in mid-air.
"!!!"
Hades turned into a porcupine. One of the daggers pierced his eye and the other one got his neck.
SUEK
A long katana entered his back and penetrated through his chest. Hades looked down and grimaced.
"So, it's a trap after all."
Ma Moxi smirked. He pulled all a hundred knives with his Qi.
"This is how you gank, noobs."
<DOUBLE KILL!>
Ma Moxi claimed two kills by using Miaomiao as bait. Now, he got enough gold coins for his first completed item.
Meanwhile, Miaomiao pushed the confused horse away before it vanished along with its rider. He grumbled and staggered back into a bush. Then, he used his teleportation artifact.
Ma Moxi also teleported back to the base.
…
Everything seemed to work in Chaos Realm Faction's favor. Miaomiao already claimed four kills while Ma Moxi got two.
But as the hostages of Chaos Realm thought that they had this in the bag, a change occurred.
<ENEMY DOUBLE KILL!>
"Huh?"
Miaomiao and Ma Moxi paused and looked at the mini-map.
Clem and Meng Xin's avatar was gone!
On their lane, Miaomiao spotted several icons of Heavenly Dao Faction's representatives.
Eve, All-Heaven Sage, and Sun Crow were there!
"MUNYAAAAAAA!!"
"AHHHHH!!"
As Clem and Meng Xin were dead, two hostages on their sides were torn to shred by the hook machine!
Miaomiao turned around to see who the unfortunate hostages were, and he was shocked. One was the evolved cathulhu with a big muscular body while the other was Fu Daotian!
"…"
BADUMP
Witnessing the death of his comrades, the black features on Miaomiao's wing began to collect his malicious aura and killing intent.
WHOOSH
WHOOSH
After the sacrifices were made, Meng Xin and Clem were resurrected.
Miaomiao glared at them.
"I need an explanation. Two of our comrades died just now because of you!"
Meng Xin and Clem looked back at Miaomiao. Before they said anything, they heard the yelling voice of Devil from one of the hook machines.
"Be careful when you fight Eve! That bitch is the jack-of-all-trades and the master of everything!! She was born with the strongest physique and the largest dantian among all war droids!"
