Chapter 469: Evil God Festival - Boathouse

"Bai Liu flips Spades overboard!!!"

The host was dancing with excitement, "Spades countered quickly, quivering on Bai Liu's ankle with his whip, dragging him down, and now both players are falling into the ocean water!"

"Exciting!"

"Shit, shit!" Mu Sicheng's hands and feet were cold, his clenched teeth were shaking, "How much longer is this fucking fight going to go on!"

Wang Shun didn't dare to look at the big screen at all, he took a few deep breaths, and looked down at the system panel to divert his attention, "Bai Liu's current popularity is going up all the way, and it's now close to the top 50, ranking 48th."

"His win/loss bet with Spades is now dropping to about 4:1, and we're currently growing the pool at ......"

Wang Shun taps on the panel, exhales a long, slow breath, and mumbles, "--fifty times what it was at the start of the match."

The numbers were horribly good, but no one's face went slack.

--This is the kind of attention that Bai Liu would give up his immunity to get in return for his life.

Liao Ke's eyes were fixed on the deep blue, almost black water on the big screen.

Next to him, Bai Jiamu clenched his fists on his knees as he let out a breath and asked, "Uncle Liao, do you think Spades can beat Bai Liu?"

"It's hard to say." Liao Ke shook his head slowly as he let out a bitter laugh, "The Reverse God might be able to see a bit of victory here, I can't."

"If I look at it ......"

Liao Ke paused, "Half and half."

"Half and half? I don't think so! The win/loss ratio in the arena is 4:1, so Spades will win 80% of the time!" Bai Yi exclaimed, turning his head to look at the darkened screen and stomping his feet anxiously, "Where is everyone? Can you turn up the brightness of the screen? I can't see anyone here!"

"Bai Yi." Bai Jiamu suddenly raised his hand to hold down the agitated Bai Yi, he looked up at Bai Yi's panicked face, a look of desperation in his expression, "If Spades loses, we have to win the pairs match! ......"

Bai Yi subconsciously retorted, "Spades won't lose!"

"Spades can lose." Bai Jiamu took a deep breath and squeezed Bai Yi's shoulder hard, a bit of sternness in his demeanor that didn't match his age, "Those gamblers can think that he can't lose, and go crazy and insult Spades when he does, but we're his teammates, and we're supposed to give him the right and the leeway to lose."

"If we can't accept him losing, then there's no one in the world who can accept him losing!"

Bai Yi's shoulders slowly collapsed, he looked blank, tears overflowed from his eyes, and he mumbled something like, "...... But this guy didn't bring a get-out-of-jail-free card, and if he loses, he's dead."

Everyone was quiet.

"I'm kidding!" Bai Yi took a sharp, deep breath and squeezed out a smile, "Spades admitted defeat and quit on his own, so it's all right then!"

No one answered Bai Yi.

The smile on Bai Yi's face slowly disappeared.

Spades will probably hit and run in the game pool because it's just a game.

But this is a man who hasn't clicked the exit button in a race, even when he was stuck in the mud and on the verge of drowning the last time.

Spades is a monster who won't concede defeat in the league, it's as if the [Quit] button disappeared from his system panel after the league started.

After a long, long time, Liao Ke lowered his head and spoke, "...... Spades has already been born in an environment that everyone doesn't accept, so let's not let him end up dying in an environment that everyone doesn't accept as teammates as well."

"That's too much."

Bai Yi tilts his head with a blank expression at the ripples of water fluctuating in the large screen, tears falling from his face as he slowly opens his mouth:

"So let's just accept Spades death, then?"

"...... He hasn't even been to reality once."

The screen image flickered, turning from completely unreadable darkness to light, and the two men wrestling in the waters reappeared in the picture.

As the picture became clear, the entire audience gasped, many standing up to try to get closer to the big screen to watch the scene inside.

The host bounced wildly, "Here it comes, here it comes! The moment of reckoning is here!"

In the dark surging sea water, the black and white color bone whips were intertwined and sprawled, as if they were white bones of swimming fish stripped of their skin and flesh, scurrying under the undulating and surging sea surface.

Spades' bone whip is wrapped around Bai Liu's ankles and wrists, and the force of the whip drags Bai Liu deeper under the surface of the sea.

"Spades' Bone Whip is dragging Bai Liu downwards!" The host excitedly gripped the microphone, "As we all know, Spades' Bone Whip is one of the top high-intensity, high-determination skill weapons in the game, and the Slayer Sequence spends millions of points per year on the upkeep of this Bone Whip, so as long as it's wrapped around an opponent, it's basically impossible to get rid of it!"

The red hairband was dragged loose, Bai Liu's long hair spreading out in the ocean water in moments as bubbles spilled from his lips and teeth, his brow coldly overriding as he swung his whip backhandedly, turning it into a blade and slashing towards where the bone whip wrapped around his ankle.

"Is Bai Liu trying to cut this bone whip with a dagger?" The host shushed, "That's a bit of a cheap judgment, it's basically impossible."

The short knife in Bai Liu's hand didn't stop at all, and it made a clean cut.

A thick line of blood around his foot melted in the water, and the bone whip that had been wrapped around Bai Liu's ankle fell into the depths.

The host looked at the section of ankle that had fallen in the sea dumbfounded, "...... contestant Bai Liu, cut off his own ankle?!"

"He managed to use this to get out of the way of Spades' Bone Whip!"

Bai Liu replenishes the antidote as his severed right foot bends outward and grows out in a twisted fashion, the blood draining from his face for the most part as he floats upward out of the ocean and takes a deep breath as the rain pours madly down on Bai Liu's face.

He closed his eyes and breathed hard, his long hair falling below his shoulders and spreading like ink in the water.

The next second, something lurched out from under the surface of the sea.

On the surface of the sea, Bai Liu swims back with agility, the black whip cuts through the side of Bai Liu's face as if it is going to create a huge wave, and grazes a one-finger wide blood scar on the right side of Bai Liu's face, tearing the clothes on his right shoulder.

Blood falls from Bai Liu's cold white face, dripping in and fainting, melting into his long hair that falls into the water.

Spades, floating on the surface of the sea, holding his whip, he looked at Bai Liu with little emotion on his face, his crushed hair, soaking wet, plastered to his ears and forehead, hiding his eyes from view.

He raised his hand, the whip's momentum is strong to both sides of the paddle to lift the water, straight to Bai Liu face door.

The whip grazed Bai Liu's left side, slicing through the long hair on his left shoulder. Bai Liu took a deep breath and lowered his head to dive into the deep sea.

Spades dives right after him, legs together as he swims and dives underwater, looking like a black-skinned tiger shark on the hunt, so fast that his face is pulled out of the shadows.

"Wow! Close pursuit!" The host hammered the fence in excitement, "Not bad for Spades! Opponents who have fought Spades have said that he has the shadow of an aquatic animal in him, and that he can fully utilize his attacks in the water, and now it seems to be true!"

"Bai Liu has absolutely no power to fight back!"

"Nonsense!" Mu Sicheng was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and was about to climb up on the swinging arm to hammer the host, "What stupid commentary!"

Tang Er fights to force him down, "You can't attack him here."

On the big screen, Bai Liu is about to be grabbed around the waist by Spades, who is in hot pursuit.

Bai Liu spins out of the way as he looks over at Spades, who has swum right above him, and in the split second it takes for the two to come face to face, Spades barely hesitates as he throws out his whip, to wrap it around his waist and pull Bai Liu over.

Bai Liu, at the moment when Spades' whip was about to touch his waist, swung his waist like a fish and dodged, swimming downward.

"Ducked!!!" The host shook his fist and applauded, "Great maneuver!"

Mu Sicheng also clenched his fist and shouted angrily, "Bull!"

Mu Ke let out a breath.

Liu Jiayi clenched her hands into fists against her jaws as she stared at the big screen, her lips pursed, "Looking at Bai Liu's current movement speed, he's set on what should be the fastest moving Mu Sicheng panel amongst us, or a full-speed slam mode."

"But the pattern only lasts five minutes."

Mu Ke was stunned.

Liu Jiayi looked up at the big screen, "If Bai Liu can't finish the match in five minutes, he's going to be in a completely passive state."

Water ripples and bubbles tumble together in the large screen.

Down through the shallow waters, where the color and ripples of the water disappear and become calm, as if the winds and waves on the surface did not exist, Bai Liu dives downward in the deep sea, his eyes looking straight ahead, while not far behind him follows Spades, who is also diving downward.

Spades stared straight at Bai Liu, he didn't shift his gaze even once, as if Bai Liu was the only one in such a big sea that deserved his full attention to pursue.

A warm white light spread out from the depths of the sea.

Bai Liu quickly swings his feet sideways and swims toward where the white light is spreading.

He swam to right above the white light, and then stopped moving, like a falling leaf, slowly drifting down, his face had no expression whatsoever, only those dark eyes reflected the white light that seemed to breathe on the bottom of the sea, and the person in the center of the white light.

Taville seemed to be in a deep sleep, head hanging down, arms, legs, and eyes entangled in a myriad of silken threads, silver-blue curls and blood-stained white kimono swirling underwater.

His heart hangs a reverse cross pendant exchanged from Bai Liu, emitting a warm halo of light under the surface of the sea, reflecting his face blurred by the silk threads wrapped around it, and the deep blue sea water is heavy with layers of watery light and shadow on his face.

Following the Taville silk threads upwards, the other end of the silk thread connection was the sea shrine that was motionless in its position on the surface of the sea in the wind and waves, and the Taville was suspended underneath the ship by these silk threads called pain, turning into an [anchor] that stabilized the ship.

Spades and Bai Liu's system panels popped up at the same time the moment they met Taville:

[System Alert: Congratulations to player Spades for finding the most painful sacrifice (Taville), please sacrifice each other before the night of the Evil God's Sacrifice Storm passes!

[System prompt: Congratulations to player Bai Liu for gathering the spirit and flesh of the Evil God in one place, please sacrifice each other before the night of the Evil God Sacrifice Storm passes!
