[System Prompt: Use the skill [Soul-Suppressing Incense]? You have two chances to burn incense remaining this round. The skill lasts for 15 seconds, with the duration decreasing depending on the strength of the ghost, and may cause backlash.]

【Yes. 】

The moment the bald evil spirit raised its shotgun once more, Shen Yubai swiftly lit a soul-suppressing incense stick.

The incense continued to burn, and at the same time, the evil spirit standing in the corridor was also affected by the skill and was forcibly frozen in place, unable to move.

Blood flowed from his mouth and nose. Shen Yubai frowned and covered his mouth with his sleeve. Judging from the degree of pain, this evil spirit was only troublesome because it was equipped with firearms, but it was not too powerful.

It's not as good as the Ghost Zombie in Yan Zhao's Grand Promotion Tournament, nor is it as good as the Human-Faced Leopard Demon in his own Grand Promotion Tournament.

Of course, he is far inferior to Yi Zanglan, who was corrupted by evil spirits on Youming Island.

Normally, his Soul-Suppressing Incense could last at least ten seconds, but when facing Yi Zanglan, he only lasted four seconds.

Even now, recalling it still makes my heart instinctively clench.

"Captain Ouyang!"

"receive!"

Although he wasn't quite sure of the exact duration of Shen Yubai's skill, he realized that the opportunity left for him was fleeting. Ouyang Yu immediately took a running start, accelerated, and used his arm to throw the boomerang at the immobilized evil spirit.

The strike was incredibly accurate. Normally, anyone who came would have their head chopped off. However, when the dart struck the evil spirit, it only left a crack that quickly healed, failing to cause any real damage.

"……hateful."

Ouyang Yu's expression darkened, and her mind raced as she tried to analyze the other party's weaknesses.

She did have a guess, but whether it was correct or not is impossible to verify; it was just a gamble.

That's it, there's no other choice, let's take a gamble!

Anyway, her luck wasn't that bad!

Ouyang Yu caught the boomerang with a flick of his wrist, and as the distance between them closed, he launched another attack on the evil spirit.

This time, her target was the hunting rifle in the other person's hand.

The boomerang struck its target, the shotgun slipped from the hand, and fell to the evil spirit's feet.

Almost simultaneously, the incense in Shen Yubai's hand burned out.

He grabbed a kitchen knife and left the precarious floating staircase as quickly as possible, ready to reinforce Ouyang Yu.

Strangely, even though it was freed from the restrictions of the Soul-Suppressing Incense, the evil spirit still became much slower, perhaps because it had lost its hunting rifle.

It was like a rusty, broken machine, clumsily bending down, trying to pick up its weapons again.

However, Ouyang Yu did not give it another chance.

She leaped into the corridor, using a boomerang to block her opponent, then kicked the shotgun away, rolled forward to pick it up, and leaned against the wall to cock it.

She aimed at the evil spirit's head and decisively pulled the trigger.

boom! !

The evil spirit's bald head, severely corroded by sulfuric acid, exploded on the spot like a blood-red firework. If Shen Yubai hadn't dodged quickly, he probably would have been drenched in the acid.

Helplessly, he wiped the blood from his face, looked around, and then picked up the butterfly knife that Yi Canglan had thrown away and put it in his pocket.

"Impressive, Captain Ouyang."

After catching her breath, Ouyang Yu confirmed through the system interface that the points had been entered before she was completely relieved.

She looked up at him: "Mr. Shen's skills are so useful. Black Wind Stronghold is indeed full of hidden talents."

"You flatter me."

"If I may ask one more question, how did Captain Yi recruit you into the team in the first place?" Ouyang Yu asked frankly. "To be honest, I wanted to learn from him because my team lacks a control-type player, and I want to make up for this weakness and develop him further in the future."

Shen Yubai fell into deep thought. This was a difficult question to answer, but he still answered sincerely.

"Actually... most of the members of Black Wind Stronghold volunteered to join the team. Our captain is rather lax in his approach and usually just nods in agreement."

"..."

Sigh, fine.

* * * * * *

The two players who just launched a sneak attack are Li Bowen, who can break bricks, and Sun Wei, who can fire crossbows. They are both members of the Rock Park team, currently ranked tenth in the South Division.

Both of them are ranged fighters with decent agility, but mediocre attack and damage mitigation. Once forced into melee combat, they will lose all their advantages.

"I'm speechless. I've wasted three arrows on him, and he's still not dead?"

Sun Wei's target was Tang Yunxi. He thought his plan to kill two birds with one stone would be very effective, but in the end, he failed to kill her and instead attracted her attention.

He couldn't help but become restless, and then he heard his teammates urging him on from the side.

"Brother Wei, they're coming! Should we retreat?"

"..."

Unfortunately, it was too late to retreat.

In just a few seconds, Yan Zhao was manipulating the Claw of Fury, while Yi Zanglan and Tang Yunxi wrapped their arms around her waist. The three of them swung down the corridor to the door as if performing some kind of super combination technique.

"That's really good," Yi Zanglan praised calmly. "Your big claws are getting better and better."

Yan Zhao landed, retracted his enraged claws, and glanced at her: "Does this kind of evaluation want to hear, big claws?"

Tang Yun smiled and tilted his head: "Ask it later."

I won't ask.

The three appeared to be chatting casually, but in reality, they didn't stop walking and were even speeding towards their target room.

Li Bowen and Sun Wei originally planned to open the door and retreat, but unexpectedly, the two sides ran into each other.

Only at this moment did they belatedly realize why the face seemed familiar; they seemed to have seen it before in the live stream from the spectator area…

Especially the woman in the denim jacket at the very front.

An ominous premonition arose, and Li Bowen reacted quickly, immediately unleashing his skill once more. A series of continuous explosions were heard, and the already aging walls and floor of the corridor shattered and were lifted up, forming several trenches that blocked the three people's path.

...But this did nothing to stop Yi Zanglan.

She shielded her face with one hand, her speed increasing rather than decreasing, and charged straight at the flying bricks and stones, kicking the door open with tremendous force.

This kick was incredibly powerful; the door bounced back violently, sending both people inside flying.

Yan Zhao followed closely behind, and seeing that Sun Wei was unwilling to give up and struggled to get up, still trying to raise that broken crossbow at Tang Yunxi, Yan Zhao was instantly enraged.

She immediately manipulated the Claw of Wrath, grabbed the other person by the neck, and flung them against the wall.

"Is that all you've got?"

On the other side, Yi Zanglan, lacking suitable weapons, was resorting to the most primitive, wild, and brutal method: punching Li Bowen mercilessly.

At first, Li Bowen could barely resist a few moves, but later he was completely on the defensive, his face covered in blood, and he was barely breathing.

Yi Zanglan grabbed his collar, punched him twice more in the temple, and casually tossed him to Yan Zhao's feet.

"Your goal is, isn't it? To kill."

Yan Zhao wasted no time, drew the dagger from his waist, and swiftly plunged it into the other man's heart.

She asked, "What about the other one? We don't think we've ever seen his name tag before."

Just then, a soft rustling sound came from outside the corridor. Yi Canglan opened the door and glanced around, seeing a skeletal, evil spirit crawling towards them.

She carefully observed the other party and quickly concluded that this evil spirit was not the target of any member of her team.

That makes things easier.

"What a coincidence."

She took the dagger from Yan Zhao and slowly walked towards Sun Wei.

Sun Wei lay in the corner, his bones almost broken from the fall. He had just witnessed the horrific death of his teammate and knew that he was doomed as well, but he was still unwilling to accept it. He gritted his teeth and asked in a harsh voice.

"Which team are you three from?"

"Oh my, you don't recognize us?" Tang Yunxi was surprised, then shook her head regretfully. "It seems we have to keep trying and make sure you recognize us at a glance next time."

"You...you guys...Aaaaaaah!!!"

Yi Zanglan smiled, then with a swift motion, she severed Sun Wei's Achilles tendon amidst his screams, and dragged him down the corridor.

She stepped through the dripping blood and threw him onto the path that the evil spirit was bound to take, then lowered her eyes slightly and answered gently.

"If you don't recognize it, go back to the spectator area and open the rankings page to see who's in first place."

"..."

"The entire Black Wind Stronghold extends its sincerest greetings to you."
