Chapter 1137

No other Ruling Sword member attacked Immortal . Because she was pursuing Lu Li, she was already too far away from Moonlight and the others .
As such, they changed their target to Falling Smile .
Falling Smile was protected quite well . Peerless City used this strategy to lure and kill many players who went after their Healers . However, now that Lu Li had made a mistake which resulted in Ruling Sword losing control of the match, they decided to focus on him first .
Immortal's discovery of Lu Li's weakness was not a mere stab in the dark .
They practiced a lot in this map and found that Thieves would leave traces of their movements behind . This was how Immortal managed to catch Lu Li .
She should have been proud of herself . After all, not many could achieve what she had done .
However, Lu Li was harder to kill than they thought . She could only watch as he got healed again and again, despite reaching 50% HP .

Falling Smile was already calling for help . It wasn't that he was unable to protect himself, but that the results were not ideal .
He had no chance of survival if no one came and helped him . After all, there were three DPS players – Moonlight, Kitty Likes Meat and Sakura Memories with Bloodlust – that were attacking him .
"Keep attacking!" Deadly Gold Underpants glanced at Lu Li's HP and yelled .
His team could only continue trying to kill Lu Li . They did not know if they would be successful in saving Falling Smile anyway, so they decided to trap him . If Lu Li could not escape, he would definitely die . Even if March Rain kept healing him, he still would not be able to survive . After all, Vegetarian Mosquito's pet had already successfully suppressed March Rain on multiple occasions .
Vegetarian Mosquito didn't bring a pet that boasted high Attack power, but a pet with many different crowd control skills . These skills were specialised in rendering the opponent's healer useless .
Lu Li took a deep breath and just before the last hit landed on him, he used his Ring's special effect .
Ghostclaw (Dark Gold): Damage 36-48, Agility +42, Strength +28, Critical Chance + 25% . Special Effect 1: When consecutive critical strikes are made, the third strike will have a 50% chance of dealing 3x damage . Special Effect 2: Cutthroat Level +1 . Special Effect 3: Ghostclaw, Burst effect . After activating, deals 600 damage to the target . 50% of dealt damage is restored back to caster as HP . The target's Armor is also lowered by 30% for 15 seconds . Level requirement: 50 . Durability 215/215 .
Although he had a Legendary ring with him now, Ocean's Breeze's effect was not ideal in this situation . He also wanted to show as few of his equipment as possible . Therefore, when he saw that Peerless City had picked this map, he changed his Ring to Ghostclaw .

This ring made his Critical Strikes extremely powerful . Immortal was hit by two consecutive critical hits, then was hit by another . The third strike was 3x the original damage, so a significant chunk of her HP was gone .
Then, he used the third effect of the ring, and dealt 600 damage to her .
Although this did not kill her, it did restore 300 HP to Lu Li and also decreased her Armor by 30% .
Deadly Gold Underpants could theoretically deal 300 to 400 damage to Lu Li and kill him, since he was hanging on at barely 200 HP . However, after activating the effect, he restored 300 HP and was now safe .
Lu Li did not care that he was close to death . He took out his dagger and only managed a 3-star Cutthroat .
Lu Li's Cutthroat was already level 5 . After adding the extra level given from Ghostclaw's effect, it was level 6 . A 3-star proficiency was sufficient to knock Immortal out of the match .
Shortly after this, a white light rose up from the ground of the arena . Immortal died first, but Falling Smile quickly followed . He used up all his mitigation and dispel skills, then died shortly after .

Trading one for two!
Lu Li was extremely happy with this result . Although his offensive power was high, he still needed to attack first . Compared to other classes, Thieves were glass cannons and their usefulness in Dustwallow Marsh was limited .
To be able to trade for the opponent's Healer and Mage DPS was a win, regardless of how you saw it .
For the rest of the battle, Lu Li became a normal spectator . He could observe his teammates' performances more clearly .
The audience was surprised that despite being one-down in members, Peerless City was not immediately finished . If that was the case, then it would be even more surprising . Peerless City was a team that was contending for the title . There was no way that they would fall apart instantly .
Then again, if the points difference was too large between them and Ruling Sword, they would have lost a chance at improving themselves . What was the point of keeping Last Resort then?
In the next season, these equips would be removed .
Peerless City instantly suppressed Ruling Sword's four members while Deadly Gold Underpants summoned an Earth Dragon, which created a sandstorm in the area . These sandstorms dealt damage with a chance of stunning enemies . Lu Li was amazed at this .
If this was a special effect, then Lu Li needed to get his hands on it, no matter what the price .
Deadly Gold Underpants probably did not expect things to change so quickly . Otherwise, he probably would have used it earlier .
Both reserve members, Green Flag Wine and Mu Qiu rushed into the fray . Peerless City managed to gain an advantage from their moment of insanity . Sakura Memories, who lacking many defensive skills, was killed by Half a Smoke after he landed two critical strikes on her .
As Lu Li watched his teammates fall one after the other, he was unexpectedly not that worried .
However, he was extremely excited at the thought of possibly borrowing Deadly Gold Underpants' Earth Dragon . Half a Smoke had also managed to cast his Ultimate skill, which dealt consecutive critical strikes . If this was also the doing of a special effect…
Then it must be borrowed as well!
The whole of Peerless City was like a treasure vault for Lu Li . He was fortunate that he had met with Soul Eater to negotiate beforehand .
It didn't matter if he had to give something up; Lu Li was only focused on the Finals . He believed that Glory Capital would do the same thing, but they had many more connections . Even if Ruling Sword managed to blast their way through to the Finals, it was still likely to be a hard-fought battle .
