Chapter 730 - Do You Still Remember What Fell From the Sky
The three commentators were shocked when they saw Liu Zilang dashing up the rooftop of the three-story building like a gust of wind!
“What’s Vic going up there for? Is he mistaken that his opponent is on the rooftop?”
“I don’t think so? Vic is pretty skillful at listening for his opponents, right?”
“So, what’s he planning? Unless he wants to lob grenades?”
“Hm… Wait! Shroud has swapped to a grenade. He’s the one planning to lob grenades!”
“I think that’s bad news for Vic. Shroud is cooking the grenade in his hand now. It looks like it’ll be a ‘throw-and-catch’ situation later!”
“…”
As the commentators spoke, Liu Zilang was seen running up the flight of stairs that led to the rooftop. Meanwhile, Shroud was cooking the grenade in his hand as he aimed at the third-floor rooftop of the building next door.
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air as they watched in anticipation at the scene that was about to unfold!
In their eyes, every big stride that Liu Zilang took brought him closer to the one-way street that led to hell…
Their heads were about to explode as they watched Liu Zilang march to his death. They were not able to do anything about it!
Even Misaka Mikoto, who was watching from the front row of the spectator seats, was clenching her petite fists tightly. Her face was stretched taut as she stared unblinkingly at the big screen on the stage, her face was deathly serious…
Wang Qianqian who was sitting next to her seemed unperturbed by the mounting pressure.
She seemed calm and composed. Her arms were crossed in front of her chest even though she did not realize that her pair of A-cups were almost flattened…
In an apartment somewhere in the Jianghai district, a girl with twin-tails was sitting in front of her computer screen. She was watching the match anxiously, and someone was screaming within her!
‘Idiot!
‘Stupid idiot!
‘Don’t go up! Run away!’
(*`Ω´*)v
None of that, however, affected Liu Zilang in the tournament one bit.
One step, two steps, three steps…
On the big screen of the tournament, Liu Zilang was seen arriving at the rooftop.
At the same time, Shroud was seen tossing the grenade in his hand from the second-floor window.
Bang!
The grenade flew through the window and it broke the glass!
It was seen flying through the air in a parabola as it headed straight toward Liu Zilang who was on the third-floor rooftop.
Everyone’s hearts was up their throats when they saw this scene.
Shroud’s had been cooking his grenade in his hand for a long time. Unquestionably, it would explode once it reached the rooftop. There was no chance for Liu Zilang to dodge it!
“Hiss! That’s the Devil King for you. Shroud’s grenade is a vicious one!” Lord Rong, who was on the commentary platform, shook his head and lamented as he sucked in a breath of cold air.
Everyone in the Chinese live stream channel already had the mental image of Liu Zilang being sent spinning in the air like a helicopter once the grenade exploded.
Some people even looked away.
‘Looks like it’s the end of an era…’
However, everyone was stupefied the next moment.
Under God’s perspective on the caster’s camera, Liu Zilang leaped out from a crack in the railings on the third-floor rooftop.
Right after he leaped, the scene was similar to that of a Hollywood action hero escaping an explosion.
Behind him, a ball of fire swiftly expanded and black smoke rose into the air!
Not only were the viewers dumbfounded, the commentators were also dumbfounded.
At that instant, something began to nag in their hearts…
Something was definitely amiss!
Right, the order!
The order of events was backward!
As everyone’s neurons fired rapidly to process what was going on, Su Changming on the commentary platform was the first one to figure it out. “Vic didn’t get sent flying from the impact of the grenade!” he yelled out in surprise.
Then, everyone else started realizing it too.
Right!
If he had been affected by the grenade, it would have exploded first. Then, he would have flown away.
However, he was already flying across the building before the grenade had exploded. It would have been a major blooper if the scene appeared in a Hollywood movie.
So what had actually happened then?
Everyone was scratching their heads in frustration when another round of surprised yelps was heard from all over the arena.
Everyone raised their heads to look at the screen, and their eyes bulged when they saw what had happened.
On the big screen on stage, Liu Zilang was seen leaping out of the third-floor rooftop and then assuming the prostrate pose of a toad.
The muzzle of the M16 in his hands flashed with fire. Bullets rained down from the gun like a bomber plane toward Shroud who was at the second-floor window!
‘What the f*ck is going on?’ Everyone was speechless and confused…
That also included Shroud who was at the second-floor window. He had just thrown the grenade and was swapping to his gun.
Before he could process what was going on, Liu Zilang had already passed through the window.
Not only that, but the M16 in Liu Zilang’s hands struck him like a dragon. It was firmly aimed at his skull.
Thud thud!
On the verge of death!
Shroud had not yet lifted his M4 and only managed to fire one shot before he fell face-up on the floor.
Liu Zilang, barging through the window, landed on Shroud’s body.
From the caster’s camera, it looked like Liu Zilang had pinned him down on the floor with the force of the jump. It was as if Shroud offered no resistance…
“4AM-Vic killed C9-Shroud with M16A4!”
7 Kills!
Everyone was tongue-tied and slack-jawed after witnessing the unbelievable scene!
In a frontal encounter, the Devil King Shroud only managed to fire one shot before falling?
Everyone would have thought that it was impossible if they had not seen it happen right in front of their eyes.
Even so, the live audience members and live stream viewers who witnessed the scene vaguely felt like they were dreaming.
‘It must be a f*cking joke, right?’
“Can someone tell me… the name of that maneuver?”
“Is that the human-shaped bomber plane of myths?”
“Do you remember seeing… a toad falling from the sky?”
“Vic is such a showoff!”
“I feel sorry for the Devil King, he died a worse death than Mossy. That must’ve felt really bad.”
“Well, why didn’t you just let him cross the bridge in peace?”
“…”
In the match, Shroud’s face was still stuck in the ‘Who am I? Where am I? What the f*ck?’ expression.
He had not expected his opponent to enter his building in that manner. Otherwise, he would not have been killed before he could respond with a proper reaction.
He remembered his opponent’s ID.
Shroud smiled drily and shrugged. He stood up and left his seat.
Meanwhile, after Liu Zilang had killed off Shroud, he did not stay in the place for too long. After healing himself, he swiftly returned to his motorcycle.
However, what happened next was inexplicable.
Liu Zilang did not ride his motorcycle into the circle. Rather, he drove around the area beyond the blue circle.
Everyone had questions when they saw this.
‘Is this guy… patrolling?’
