Global Game: My Divine Skills Reach Full Level Automatically

Clang!

Sunset Swordsmanship!

Dawn Swordsmanship!

The broad and heavy Giant Que Sword now moves with the agility of a butterfly, gracefully dancing, rapidly creating blooms of sword flowers, each one forming a shield against incoming crossbow arrows.

Clang!

Clang clang clang!

Ding Ling wielded the Giant Que Sword and swiftly dashed forward.

Every crossbow arrow was deflected, unable to come even close to him.

The black-clad figures exchanged glances. Even in the dim moonlight, they could clearly see the horror, unease, and fear in each other’s eyes.

”Scatter and run!”

A black-clad figure, towering over seven feet and with a face masked by a dark cloth, suddenly said, then took the lead by sprinting towards the left.

The other black-clad figures followed suit in perfect coordination, dispersing in all directions.

None of them ran towards Ding Ling.

But within the dense forest, where the trees grew thick and numerous, the black-clad figures quickly melted into the darkness and disappeared.

Ding Ling did not pursue the other black-clad figures.

His focus was on the one who shouted ’Scatter and run,’ assuming he must be the leader.

In the earlier rain of arrows.

His arrows were the fastest, most poisoned, and most piercing!

And, if his intuition was right, the arrow that struck Diao Chan was surely his!

From the recent clashes of arrow storms.

Ding Ling felt deeply, understanding the intricate nature of the battle.

Whoosh whoosh!

The black-clad man ran swiftly, his movement akin to that of a fleeing rabbit, the sound of whooshing filling the air as he dashed over a hundred meters, faster than a galloping horse.

But no matter how fast he was, he could not surpass Ding Ling.

Burning with anger, Ding Ling operated the two Breathing Techniques at full speed, amplifying his Ascending Skill and Wall-Climbing Technique, allowing his already highly agile body to leap like a crane spreading its wings, fluidly and quickly!

The Five Animals Qigong climbing skill intermittently showed its efficacy.

This made crossing hills and streams seem effortless for Ding Ling.

With no difficulty whatsoever!

In mere moments,

Ding Ling was about to catch up with the black-clad man.

The black-clad man’s pupils contracted, his heart filled with immense shock, for he had always been the pursuer, this was his first time being pursued!

”Isn’t Ding Ling supposed to be the unrivaled war general on horseback? How is he so fast off the horse too?!”

He was terrified.

For he realized he couldn’t shake Ding Ling off.

He climbed steep walls as if it was child’s play.

Ding Ling climbed even more nimbly!

He vaulted over mountains and crossed streams with casual ease, while Ding Ling seemed to breeze through the mountains like a gentle wind!

As if a favored child of nature.

Such speed in traversing mountainous terrain.

Indeed made the black-clad man change color, tremble, then find it inconceivable.

”I’ve subdued countless war generals off their horses, making them obedient!

This Ding Ling...”

The black-clad man trembled, the more he ran, the slower he got.

His stamina was depleting, no longer able to maintain peak speed.

Meanwhile, Ding Ling’s speed never faltered.

This was proof that his physique was undoubtedly superior.

”I’ll make a stand!”

Realizing he couldn’t outrun Ding Ling.

The black-clad man abruptly turned around, drew his bow from both sides, and wildly shot out five or six crossbow arrows at Ding Ling.

Each arrow was swift and fierce, the sound of whooshing splitting the air, aimed at Ding Ling’s face, heart, and other vital points!

Clang!

Clang clang clang!

Ding Ling swung the Giant Que Sword, the Sword God Skill unleashed its power, blooming like a hundred flowers, and swept aside the arrows, soaring dozens of meters into the air, explosively landing in front of the black-clad man, impulsively slashing down with no hesitation.

”Whoosh!”

The black-clad man nimbly dodged the strike, rapidly counterattacking.

Arrows flew through the air from unexpected angles, shooting towards Ding Ling.

One or two arrows shattered by Ding Ling, exploding into a rain of needles that descended upon Ding Ling.

This technique, for someone else, would undoubtedly be fatal.

But Ding Ling possessed exceptional defense.

He used the body of the Giant Que Sword to shield his face and vital points, bracing against the needle rain.

Whoosh whoosh!

Clang!

The needle rain had astonishing piercing power.

Several penetrated the armor, stabbing Ding Ling’s skin!

But upon reaching this point, they could go no further.

Because Ding Ling’s skin was akin to multiple layers of armor!

His defense was remarkably strong!

The needle rain had been dispersed by the Giant Que Sword, weakening its speed and attacking power significantly. Once it penetrated Ding Ling’s armor, the attack was already extremely weak.

Naturally incapable of piercing Ding Ling’s skin.

Yet this was just Ding Ling, for anyone else, this would be impossible.

”Hahaha...”

The black-clad man, seeing this move effective, sprang into the air, nimbly leaping onto a boulder, laughing heartily, looking at Ding Ling with exuberance, loudly declaring:

”No matter how indomitable and unrivaled you are, sweeping through Wan City—you’re still doomed to die by Ma Zhong’s hand today!”

”Ma Zhong?”

Ding Ling’s brow slightly raised.

He recalled a person.

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Eastern Wuu had a general named Ma Zhong.

During the battle of Mai City, he set a trap and captured Guan Yu and others.

When Liu Bei attacked Wuu, Ma Zhong ambushed and injured Huang Zhong, leading to Huang Zhong’s demise.

In unofficial histories.

Ma Zhong was reputedly incredibly fierce.

Le Jin, Cao Ren, Xuu Chu, and Zhang Liao were rumored to have been killed by his arrows!

Of course. This was unofficial history!

But now it seems.

Ma Zhong in this game’s Plane World might indeed be as formidable and terrifying as the unofficial records suggest.

Because his agility was undoubtedly super-elite!

The crossbow arrows were fast and fierce, laced with poison, with various mechanisms!

Diao Chan, agile and nimble like a dragon or phoenix, was hit by him nonetheless.

Not to mention Diao Chan.

Even Ding Ling, when prepared, was hit by one of his unexpected moves.

This was all thanks to Ding Ling’s thick skin and high defense; otherwise, he might have really fallen at Ma Zhong’s hand!

Such was Ma Zhong.

In forests and wilderness, which favored high agility, encountering him—nine out of ten generals would fail, a fact not to be taken lightly.

On the battlefield, one must also be wary of his stealth arrows.

For his arrows are poisoned!

”That’s right.”

Ma Zhong seemed confident of victory, appeared to be recovering his Primordial Qi, and seemed to await Ding Ling’s eventual demise from poison. Unhurried to leave, having distanced himself from Ding Ling, he laughed heartily:

”You’ve already been placed on the Yuan Family’s high-priced bounty list! Already, many infamous figures have attempted to secretly murder or poison you! But none are quicker than Ma Zhong. In the realm of assassination.

I claim second.

No one else dares claim first in this world!”

He looked towards Ding Ling:

”Rest assured. Your martial prowess will soon spread across the Jiuzhou Land. A general of your caliber, I won’t carelessly leave your body in the wilderness. I will surely bring your remains back to Wan City. Claim my bounty, attain rank and title!”

He laughed with abandon and delight:

”I’ve hidden in the shadows for so many years. At last, I can emerge into the sunlight!”
