Although Ling She's voice wasn't loud, it conveyed sharpness and an unquestionable tone.
Bai Qingxue's crescent eyebrows furrowed slightly, a flash of cold light in her eyes.
Cao Chenghua actually had designs on Zhao Yueru.
But thinking about it, it made sense. Zhao Yueru had immense potential and strength. She used to have no interest in virtual reality games. She only started playing because Bai Qingxue had dragged her into it, and she had never trained seriously. However, Zhao Yueru's talent was extremely high, and even like this, her strength was extremely astonishing.
If Zhao Yueru put in some effort, probably few in the entire Devouring Serpent would be her match.
At this moment, a strong and dignified middle-aged man walked out from the crowd, and everyone respectfully made way. This man was none other than Cao Chenghua, the acting president of the Devouring Serpent. Even from a distance, one could clearly feel the pressure in Cao Chenghua's gaze, like a ferocious beast.
And Cao Chenghua's level was also 24, wearing a complete set of Berserker's Level 20 Mithril-grade excellent equipment, the Roar of the Wind. Behind him was a life-sized battle blade, named Iron Cutter, an extremely rare Dark-Gold grade weapon in the entire Star-Moon Kingdom.
"Enough, Ling She, you talk too much!" Cao Chenghua glanced at Ling She and reprimanded.
"Yes, President." Ling She consciously retreated behind Cao Chenghua, no longer speaking, his eyes full of reverence for Cao Chenghua.
"Yueru, I hope you seriously consider this matter. You have no future with Bai Qingxue. Only by coming here will you be able to shine in God's Domain and achieve your wishes." Cao Chenghua looked at Zhao Yueru and said with a smile.
"Give up. I will never go." Zhao Yueru looked at Cao Chenghua with a face full of disgust. "Besides, the battle hasn't even started yet, and it's not certain who will win. Even if we lose this time, Qingxue and I will leave the virtual gaming world together."
"Yueru." Bai Qingxue felt a burst of emotion in her heart.
"Hmph, you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Just relying on you two level 22 outsiders, I feel sorry for you." At this time, Ling She snorted coldly and laughed disdainfully.
Zhao Yueru originally wanted to retort, but looked at Cao Chenghua's team, and then at her own.
It really was pathetic.
Cao Chenghua's team had four people at level 24. In addition to Cao Chenghua and Ling She, one was the third branch president of the Devouring Serpent, Blackheart Arrow, the first of the Twelve Apostles, Teng She, and there was also a level 25 shield warrior wearing a black cloak, unable to see his face.
Originally, Zhao Yueru still had a little hope, but after seeing these people, she had a 40% chance of winning against the third branch president, Blackheart Arrow, but less than 30% against the remaining people.
Moreover, Cao Chenghua's team also had Teng She. Even if Bai Qingxue went to fight, the win rate would only be a little over 50%.
"Now that everyone is here, let us elders preside over this competition."
"There will be a total of five matches, best of five. The ultimate victor will be the president of the Devouring Serpent, and the loser will be permanently expelled from God's Domain. This condition has been accepted by the Main God System. In addition, the battle mode in the arena is death mode. Both sides will fight until one side dies to determine the winner. Before entering the arena to fight, you can choose to give up, so even if you lose, you will not be punished by the death mode."
"If there are no problems, both of you should confirm your agreement. All of this is under the witness of the Main God System. You can rest assured. After confirmation, you can start drawing lots for the battle schedule."
Bai Qingxue and Cao Chenghua both nodded and confirmed their agreement.
Neither side had any objections to the death mode.
Originally, battles in the underground arena would not result in death. One point of health would always be retained, but the death mode could also be activated. This type of battle was the same as a player fighting in the wild. Death would be punished by death. The level would drop by one, a piece of equipment would be randomly dropped, and the player's skill proficiency would be randomly reduced. The only difference was that killing the opponent would not increase the sin value and turn them into a red name.
Shi Feng, who was on the side, completely understood what was going on after hearing the explanation from the elders of the Devouring Serpent.
In the previous life, the mystery of Bai Qingxue's departure was because of this competition...
And the final result was that Bai Qingxue lost.
As for the result of the loss, Shi Feng also saw it very clearly.
With a white-eyed wolf like Ling She, stabbing her in the back at a critical moment, even if Bai Qingxue was very capable, how could she win with such a traitor?
Seeing Bai Qingxue's situation, Shi Feng thought of himself.
The reason for all of this was because of poor judgment. Even Shi Feng himself was like that.
After ten years of fighting in God's Domain, he didn't lose to the enemy and dominate the world in the end. Instead, he died tragically at the hands of his own people. It was truly laughable...
Just as Shi Feng was recalling the past, the level 25 shield warrior who had been masked on Cao Chenghua's side also took off his black cloak, revealing his true appearance.
"How could it be him?"
After seeing the appearance of this level 25 shield warrior, Shi Feng felt incredulous.
This shield warrior was actually Canglang Zhantian. Shi Feng had met him once before and had a deep impression of him. He was definitely a top expert. Shi Feng even wanted to win him over, but Canglang Zhantian was very disgusted with guilds at the time, so he gave up. He didn't expect that Canglang Zhantian had now become Cao Chenghua's helper.
The appearance of Canglang Zhantian not only surprised Shi Feng, but Bai Qingxue on the side was also very surprised, because Bai Qingxue had also wanted to win over Canglang Zhantian in White River City, but she was rejected, and in the end, it was dropped.
As for how strong Canglang Zhantian's strength really was, Bai Qingxue didn't know, but seeing that Teng She, who was extremely strong and very arrogant, and Cao Chenghua, who was overbearing and arrogant, were now showing respect to Canglang Zhantian, vaguely respecting Canglang Zhantian as their leader, was enough to explain a lot.
After carefully observing Canglang Zhantian for a while, Bai Qingxue's expression suddenly became serious, because she felt an extremely dangerous feeling from Canglang Zhantian, a feeling that she had not felt even on Teng She.
Although Bai Qingxue wanted to object to Canglang Zhantian's participation, Canglang Zhantian had no reputation in God's Domain, so even if she objected, it would be useless.
Compared to the solemn atmosphere on Bai Qingxue's side, Cao Chenghua's side was peaceful and relaxed.
"What's wrong with this Bai Qingxue? I originally thought she would invite some powerful experts, but she actually called two level 22 top-quality helpers, one of whom is a priest. I'm really disappointed." The elementalist Teng She originally wanted to show off his skills, but after seeing Bai Qingxue's team, there was no chance at all.
"Maybe it's because my departure was too much of a blow to Bai Qingxue, so she just found some people to make up the numbers. Otherwise, why would she find a priest?" Ling She couldn't help but ridicule. "Now, the only ones on Bai Qingxue's side who can be considered combat power are Bai Qingxue herself, Zhao Yueru, and Xiong She. Unfortunately, other than Bai Qingxue herself having a chance of winning, it's impossible for Zhao Yueru and Xiong She to win."
Just as Cao Chenghua and the others were laughing and talking, the system-randomized first battle player was also released.
Immediately, everyone looked at the big screen displayed in the air of the arena.
First battle: Zhao Yueru vs Cao Chenghua
