Global Lords: Starting with Female Hero Fusion

Chapter 225 - 224: Newcomer Competition (3)

At this thought, Zhao Chi fell silent.

But Xiao Rui had clearly lost his cool.

People who’ve lost their cool, especially young people, tend to speak and act impulsively.

It’s hard for them to think things through.

"Zhao Chi, don’t think you can be so arrogant just because your family has become someone’s dog. We’re signing a duel agreement when we get out of here! Whoever doesn’t sign, their whole family dies."

Zhao Chi said nothing.

Gu Qing, however, frowned and said indignantly, "My Lord, who does he think he is? How can he speak to you like that?"

Zhao Chi was a little surprised. "You can hear him too?"

"Of course. Isn’t he shouting at all of us?"

"I can hear him too," Tang Ruan nodded, her expression grim.

"Me too," Qi Yue replied softly, her eyes narrowing.

Zhao Chi said, "It’s fine. Ignore him. Just focus on killing them all."

"Understood!"

Xiao Rui clearly wasn’t done yet.

"Not talking anymore? Scared? I’ll show you the power of the Xiao Family today! Let’s go!"

Skeletons obviously couldn’t speak.

But they could understand commands.

A hundred fully armed Skeletons advanced quickly, the clattering sound of grinding bones filling the air.

Xiao Rui’s figure flashed and vanished on the spot.

’Where did he go?’

’Or was it the Invisibility Technique?’

"My Lord, that’s the Body Driving Technique. It creates the same kind of light you do when you use it."

Qi Yue said softly from behind him.

Gu Qing pointed to the Large Skeleton nearby. "My Lord, the enemy Lord must have entered that Large Skeleton’s body. For a moment, the final flash of light was absorbed by that Skeleton."

Zhao Chi nodded.

When he used the Driving Skill, he couldn’t see the state of his own body.

He didn’t know what it looked like from the outside.

Gu Qing and Tang Ruan were very familiar with it; after all, Zhao Chi had entered their bodies many times.

The Body Driving Technique was originally meant to be used on non-Intelligent Races like Skeletons and Zombies.

Although the compatibility wasn’t particularly high, it was still quite good.

It made sense that Xiao Rui knew this Skill, and it suited him well.

And he dared to use it openly, while Zhao Chi did not.

Just as expected.

That Large Skeleton’s eyes became extremely fierce.

Its speed increased by a notch.

The Skeletons beside it followed closely.

The distance between the two sides was shrinking.

Zhao Chi gave the order: "Focus all fire on the enemy’s Large Skeleton! If the enemy Lord leaves the Skeleton’s body, don’t hesitate—surround and attack him immediately!"

"Yes, sir!"

Soon, both sides were within their respective ranges.

The six Female Archers beside Zhao Chi drew their Iron Bows to their full extent, and Iron Arrows shot out at high speed.

SWISH SWISH SWISH!

The Iron Arrows pierced through their Leather Armor and lodged in their bones.

The Skeletons didn’t pull out the arrows. Instead, they charged forward with them sticking out, looking rather comical.

The opposing side also had 20 Skeleton Archers.

But the Skeletons’ Power was only 4 points. Even if they pulled their bows with all their might, the final impact wouldn’t be strong.

It could only serve to hinder them.

But... who were they going to hinder?

The Tang Ruan Team, clad in Iron Armor and carrying Iron Shields?

Twenty arrows flew toward them.

They struck the Iron Armor and Iron Shields feebly, making a lackluster DING DANG sound.

Like raindrops, they had no effect.

However, the 10 Skeleton Mages packed some power.

Five Fireballs and five ice balls rushed forward.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH~

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH~

They bombarded Tang Ruan and the Female Gunners.

The Fireballs hit the Shields, bursting into flames upon impact.

But the fire only lasted for a few seconds before extinguishing.

After the ice balls hit, the Iron Armor immediately turned ice-cold, and frost formed over a wide area.

The Female Soldiers flinched from the cold.

Their movement speed also seemed to be slightly affected.

But Gu Qun immediately waved their hand.

The Purification Technique was cool yet warm, dispelling both the burning Effect of the Fireballs and the freezing Effect of the ice balls.

Tang Ruan frowned, feeling the warmth on her Shield.

"This weak? I remember Fire Spiritual Skills being really strong. How come my Shield just got a little warm?"

In her memory, Flame was the kind used by Zhao Ji and Li Yan.

Huge fireballs and streams of fire.

That time, the burn felt really satisfying.

But this time?

Tang Ruan was a little confused, but it didn’t matter. "Alright, now’s the time! Everyone, charge!"

"Yes, ma’am!"

The Female Soldiers no longer held back their speed.

They broke into a full sprint, their long legs pumping.

"Fuck, how are they so fast? We’ll spread out our formation too!"

Inside the Large Skeleton, the sound Xiao Rui produced was a clash and scraping of bones.

But the Skeletons all understood.

The formation instantly spread out.

Projecting an intimidating aura as if they were about to surround the Female Soldiers.

The distance between them was now only 20 meters.

The body of the Large Skeleton controlled by Xiao Rui began to glow.

It opened its massive jaw.

And let out an extremely piercing scream:

"KRAAAAA—"

It was like a sharp pen tip scraping against a blackboard.

But incredibly loud.

All the Female Soldiers frowned, finding the sound unbearable.

But there were no other Effects.

Gu Qing had her hand ready to cast the Purification Technique, but after looking around, she saw it had no impact.

’A noise attack?’

’That’s a bit too weak.’

"Gu Qing... help me dispel it."

Zhao Chi’s voice came from behind.

Gu Qing turned around, stunned.

She saw Zhao Chi frowning deeply, his speed having slowed.

He was hesitant, as if he was afraid of something.

Gu Qing suddenly recalled hearing that sound before—it was the same kind of scream from their recent battle with the Ghosts.

It seemed to induce fear.

Without a second thought, Gu Qing immediately opened her palm.

A warm light enveloped Zhao Chi, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"That’s Ghostly Scream. It’s actually quite impressive that Xiao Rui knows a Skill like this!"

Gu Qing nodded. "Don’t be afraid, my Lord. I’m right here beside you."

Zhao Chi smiled. "I’m not afraid. It’s just that I can’t resist the Effect of the Spiritual Technique."

Ghostly Scream would be effective against Ordinary people or most living creatures.

But it was ineffective against these Fearless women.

Xiao Rui cursed in astonishment, "What... What the hell is going on? Why aren’t these women afraid? Are they heartless or something?"

"KRAAAAA—"

Another extremely piercing scream.

"So annoying! Shut up!"

Tang Ruan’s eyes widened, her pupils turning purple.

Three thick beams of purple light flashed out, shooting into the horde of Skeletons.

The Large Skeleton and the 60 Skeletons around it were firmly drawn to her.

Xiao Rui roared, "You damn woman, you dare call me annoying? Who the fuck do you think you are? I’ll cut you down!"

Tang Ruan couldn’t understand his words, only hearing a series of clattering sounds.

But the Large Skeleton had already raised the Big Saber in its hand.

Tang Ruan snorted coldly and raised her Shield to block.

BOOM!

A deafening screech of metal on metal.

Even more piercing than the Ghostly Scream from before.

Tang Ruan’s feet were driven five centimeters into the ground.

She felt a sharp pain in her arm and wrist.

It seemed that the Bonus Xiao Rui provided after taking control of the Large Skeleton was very high, granting it substantial Attack Power.

It was able to deal Damage through her Shield and Armor.

But...

’This feels pretty good.’

Tang Ruan laughed loudly. "Not bad, not bad! Just like that! But it’s not enough! Again!"

Xiao Rui was completely stunned.

He had used a Combat Skill in that last strike—it could slice a giant bear in two.

But this little woman before him...

’What the fuck is going on?’

’She’s not afraid of my scream, and she’s not afraid of my saber?’

Gu Qing’s Healing Skill had already descended upon her.

"Tang Ruan, your words are even more effective than a Taunt Skill right now."

Tang Ruan’s body was fully recovered.

"Hehe, thanks, Sister Gu."

"Thanks? I’ll give you something to thank me for!"

"KRAAAAA—"

Tang Ruan sighed. "It’s useless again. Why do you keep screaming?"

At this moment, the 60 Skeletons had arrived and were swarming them.

The Skeleton Hero was among them. It clattered something, and the bones of all nearby Skeletons immediately grew thicker.

It must have used some kind of Skill.

Thicker bones... it should be a Defense Skill.

But Tang Ruan didn’t care.

The tip of her Gun glowed red. "Gunmen, attention! Continuous Thrust, charge!"

"Understood!"

Instantly, the 20 Gunners pointed their guns forward and charged out at high speed.

More than 20 Skeletons were sent flying.

Then another 20.

And another 20.

The Skeletons really had been strengthened.

They were hit by a continuous barrage of thrusts, but they didn’t die.

They were still stubbornly holding on.

Qi Yue had already led her Soldiers in a charge from the flank.

"Let’s go! Charge and give it all you’ve got! Don’t hold back any Energy!"

"Understood!"

The 20 Female Swordsmen immediately broke into a sprint.

Qi Yue’s beautiful eyes narrowed, and a cold light glinted from the Iron Saber in her hand.

Qi Yue’s arm became a blur.

Three bright Moon Blades shot out.

Then another three, and another three.

In just a few seconds, a total of 45 Moon Blades were swung out in rapid succession.

The Skeletons on the other side didn’t react at all.

Or rather, they didn’t have time to react.

THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK!

THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK!

The Moon Blades were an extension of Qi Yue’s Attacks.

They struck the Skeletons, momentarily stunning them.

Deep gashes also appeared on their Leather Armor.

Fragile Skeletons wearing Leather Armor were still just fragile Skeletons in Leather Armor.

They were still only Tier One Soldiers.

They were completely unable to resist the Moon Blade Attacks.

More than ten Skeletons exploded on the spot.

BANG BANG BANG BANG!

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!

The Skeletons actually exploded into smithereens.

Zhao Chi shouted, "Careful! Sword Soldiers, raise your Shields!"

The words had barely left his mouth when hundreds of Bone Nails shot out.

THWIP THWIP THWIP THWIP!

The explosive range of the Bone Nails was wide, and the Iron Shields couldn’t block them completely.

Many of them pierced into the Female Swordsmen’s Leather Armor.

Fortunately, they raised their Shields in time and were some distance from the exploding Skeletons, so they weren’t hit in the eyes or other vital spots.

’I didn’t expect this trick.’

Zhao Chi yelled, "These Skeletons might be an Improvement! They explode on death and release Bone Nails, so be careful!"

Qi Yue said, "Understood! We’ll keep our Shields up and kill them! Let’s go!"

The Female Swordsmen all surged forward.

The Attack Speed of their Iron Sabers was extremely fast.

They already had an advantage in Attributes and an advantage in Soldier Type and Equivalent Tier. The Skeleton Soldiers had no way to fight back.

The sound of explosions was endless.

The cries of the Female Soldiers also rang out everywhere.

Every Female Swordsman was hit by the Bone Nails.

But these were all minor injuries.

Painful as they were, they didn’t affect the battle.

They didn’t even bother pulling them out. Frowning, they held up their Shields, and just kept hacking away.

Hacking one Skeleton after another to pieces.

Gu Qing’s Treatment arrived just in time, and the Female Soldiers were healed instantly.

Qi Yue stared at the Skeleton Mages ahead. "Still bombarding us? It’s your turn! Die!"

Xiao Rui was jolted awake by an electric shock.

He only remembered a flash in the sky, and then a current of electricity passing through his body.

His mind suddenly became crystal clear.

The extreme rage he felt moments ago vanished without a trace.

Then, he was stunned to find that of his 100 Skeletons, only a little over 20 remained.

"What... What the fuck happened? Zhao Chi, you motherfucker...!"

A flash in the sky.

CRACK!

Moonlight flared behind him.

THWACK! THWACK! CRUNCH!

The Large Skeleton shattered.

"Brace for impact!" Zhao Chi raised his Shield.

BANG!

The Large Skeleton also exploded into a shower of Bone Nails.

Like white fireworks, they shot out in all directions.

But not a single one of these Bone Nails hit the Female Soldiers; they vanished in mid-air.

Xiao Rui was dead.

The battle was over.

All of Xiao Rui’s Soldiers vanished.

Zhao Chi received a system notification:

[Battle concluded. You are victorious. You may remain here to interact with the audience, or click to return.]

Zhao Chi didn’t choose immediately.

He suddenly felt the world shift.

The colossal city walls that had just been towering high above were now reduced to low, waist-high barriers.

The once-distant audience was now right before his eyes.

He could see each of their faces clearly.

He could also hear their voices.

Many in the audience were applauding.
