Chapter 280: Chapter 139 Intimidating the Three Kings_1

The candidate for the demon hunting team selection ranking match, Long Dangdang’s opponent for the third round was Zou Liang, who had squared off against Yue Li in the previous match.

A 6th Rank warrior lord with the Glorious Class premium shield ’Three Kings Shield’. Without a doubt, this will be a formidable adversary to cope with. The Three Kings Shield, as a combined offensive and defensive artifact with the support of the 6th Rank Spiritual Power, is no easy feat to overcome. Hence, after watching the previous match, Long Dangdang returned with serious thought about how to counter the opponent’s Three Kings Shield.

Upon stepping onto the battleground, Zou Liang cast a blistering gaze at Long Dangdang, his face set in sober firmness. He had bested his opponent in the first match but suffered defeat at the hands of Yue Li in the second; one win, one loss, currently holding three points. On the other hand, Long Dangdang has an unbeaten streak with two wins granting six points, and the additional prestige of being a seed player. Each group of seed players is without question the primary target of the others in their category. Only by beating the seed players can they move up into the top eight.

As both sides stood their ground, Long Dangdang grew more conscious of the oppressive force emanating from the Glorious Class equipment that the opponent held. The shield was definitely too bulky, and hence at a clear disadvantage in terms of maneuverability. Zou Liang appeared to be highly dependent on the shield, which he could wield proficiently up to the 7th and perhaps even the 8th Rank, fueled by the increasing Spiritual Power to better harness the power of the Three Kings on the shield. But with the rise in his strength, the usefulness of the shield would gradually diminish. However, for a 6th Rank warrior lord, the shield was nothing short of a Divine Artifact.

After witnessing the match between Zou Liang and Yue Li, Long Dangdang deepened his understanding of powerful equipment. Of course, he is yet to acquire such equipment. That can only come after becoming a member of the demon hunting team, slowly trading merits and money for upgraded gear.

"The match begins!" declared the judge, marking the official start of the third round of the first group’s ranking match.

Long Dangdang’s eyes narrowed, and without any pause, he launched the knight’s Charge!

Zou Liang, however, was pleased rather than perturbed. The powerful Three Kings Shield indeed possessed one glaring weakness; it significantly drained spiritual power during full blown attacks. This is what led to his defeat by Yue Li, left powerless to continue the match.

Against the knight’s strategy of endurance, he could not afford to be reckless and overtax his spiritual power. Even though the Leopard King on the Three Kings Shield could boost his speed, it was merely a temporary surge, far from enough to outspeed the nimble punisher knight. If the opponent chose to intentionally evade, he would have to tread carefully to avoid excessive consumption of his spiritual power.

Contrary to his apprehensions, Long Dangdang charged right at him, an opportunity he had been eagerly awaiting. Believing in the explosive power of the Three Kings Shield, he was confident that even the prodigious talents in the demon hunting team would be no match for him. Who could possibly withstand the formidable combination of his Glorious Class premium equipment and the explosive burst of his full 6th Rank Spiritual Power?

The Leopard King on the surface of the Three Kings Shield was the first to light up as Zou Liang paced toward Long Dangdang with boosted speed.

As the gap closed to less than ten meters, the Lion King and Elephant King on the Three Kings Shield lit up as well.

Three Kings Roar! The most potent skill of the Three Kings Shield; the combined might of the Three Kings became an overwhelming force leaving no room for escape at close range.

Zou Liang didn’t intend to engage in any exploratory attempts with Long Dangdang. He had witnessed Long Dangdang’s explosive power in the previous matches, hence he decided to go all in and strike with his most powerful burst right off the bat. Relying on the superiority of the Three Kings Shield, he aimed to steamroll the opponent and leave no room for counterplay.

In the waiting area, Yue Li who watched Long Dangdang charging recklessly furrowed her brow. She was well acquainted with Zou Liang and dreaded the Three Kings Shield he wielded. It would be no easy task to come out victorious against Zou Liang if her spirit furnace hadn’t evolved. The most effective strategy to combat the Three Kings Shield was to wear him out. As Zou Liang’s spiritual power was rapidly drained by operating the shield, once he ran out of spiritual power, the victory would naturally belong to her.

However, Long Dangdang went with another approach, an aggressive head-on charge, just like his previous matches. Why would anyone attack the Three Kings Shield in such a manner? A complete folly! As Zou Liang fired up his Three Kings Roar, Yue Li’s first thought was that Long Dangdang was bound to lose.

But then, all of a sudden, faint golden light glittered on the Inaugural Silver Waves Magic in Long Dangdang’s hands, with the serene humming noise of the sword resonating like the Dragon Chant.

Almost immediately, the just ignited Three Kings Roar abruptly died down, and the engravings of the Three Kings on the shield dimmed simultaneously. Long Dangdang, on the other hand, took off into the air gripping the Inaugural Silver Waves Magic sword with both his hands, and launched the Sacred Sword Chopping Slash!

"Clang——" before Zou Liang could react, he was driven back along with his shield. The Three Kings Shield devoid of the Three Kings was merely a Glorious Class defensive shield. Moreover, the spiritual power he had supplied for the Three Kings Roar was not returned when the skill got aborted. Leaving his body shrouded in the holy light, the Sacred Sword Chopping Slash threw Zou Liang off balance.

Long Dangdang then bounced back into the air, roaring from within, Explosive Burst!

The radiance of the Sacred Sword immediately flared up once again as he plunged onto Zou Liang with another slash.
