Chapter 134: The Peak... Showdown of Two Sect Leaders

...

"How did so many people suddenly appear in this internet cafe?" By the time Song Qingfeng and the others scaled the wall and reached the cafe, they were shocked to find that there were almost no vacant seats left!

One had to realize it was already eight or nine o'clock at night!

The youths glanced left and right, and suddenly their eyes lit up. "Look over there, a few old men are logging off!"

"Go, go, go! Grab the stations!" several of them shouted in a hurry. "Xiaoyue! Give us four hours!"

"Act Three of Diablo comes out today, right?" Xu Luo asked.

"Hurry up!" Lin Shao said, burning with anxiety. "Activate it! Let us play first!"

An Huwei, who had just logged off nearby, stared blankly at them. "I say, you boys actually came?"

"Shh!" Lin Shao lowered his voice. "We climbed over the wall to get out."

An Huwei's face twitched so hard he almost tumbled beneath the table!

An Huwei stroked his chin, sizing up the youths. Their estates had closed their gates and locked up, yet they actually scaled the walls to escape?

Just how did Old Ghost Qin raise such magnificent specimens?

Truly, for every policy from above, there is a countermeasure from below!

"Why doesn't my Daoist Palace have such diligent and enterprising disciples?" Xue Daolv muttered.

"If you were willing to bring the disciples of your Liuyun Daoist Palace here, they would definitely all be this diligent and enterprising!" An Huwei laughed.

"Excellent idea!" Xue Daolv's eyes lit up. "This master shall bring the disciples tomorrow to familiarize themselves with this new type of weapon! And then, we shall let them witness the true might of the Sword Control Technique!"

...

The next morning.

The fresh fragrance of lotus leaves floated in the summer breeze, yet beneath the scent of lotus lay a thick air of grim execution.

The wind blew in through the window, and the sunlight streamed through the pane, but the light was just as cold as the morning breeze.

Ye Songtao's gaze was colder still.

Leading a hundred or so disciples, he stared fixedly ahead.

The newcomer arrived like a gentle breeze, seemingly lighter than the sunlight itself, yet he held a position of monumental importance within the entire Great Jin Country!

Behind him, he too brought a hundred or so disciples.

Ye Songtao lost his composure and cried out, "Why did you bring so many people? Palace Master Xue!"

"If you can bring this many disciples, why can't this master?" Having brought so many disciples along, Xue Daolv had clearly anticipated this.

Ye Songtao sighed softly. "A pity there are not so many seats in the shop!"

Xue Daolv sneered, glancing at the hundred or so disciples behind his opponent. "Then only one of us can bring our disciples into the shop."

Ye Songtao raised his right hand, gesturing for his disciples to step back. "Let our strength do the talking!"

"Fine!" Xue Daolv declared with grand bravado.

The wind on the street grew increasingly filled with grim tension.

A brilliant, sharp light erupted from the eyes of both men. "Counter-Strike!"

"Best two out of three!"

Ye Songtao immediately pushed open the door and entered. "Xiaoyue, log me in! Today, this master shall wage a battle of life and death with Palace Master Xue!"

"...Oh."

"A showdown between Sect Masters in Counter-Strike?!"

"Follow them! Follow them!"

As the two entered the game, it instantly drew a massive crowd of spectating disciples!

Feeling the precise barrel of the heavy sniper rifle, the two simultaneously unleashed a grand ultimate move—the round-start money command!

Buying grenades, buying armor—all in one smooth, flowing motion!

"The Palace Master has moved out!" Over there, Xiao Yulv of the Liuyun Daoist Palace, acting as a veteran spectator, first suffered a facial twitch before screaming out, "What is this footwork...? The Dustless Step?!"

"The Dustless Step?" The disciples of the Cloud Ocean Sect were instantly drawn by Xiao Yulv's shouts and hurriedly looked toward Xue Daolv's screen. At first they were stunned, and then Ye Xiaoye murmured softly, "Isn't this just..."

Yun Lian immediately covered her mouth, then looked back at his own Sect Master's screen, crying out in surprise, "Our Sect Master has moved out too! A flick shot! The Sect Master actually figured out how to use a flick shot without a teacher! Even though he missed, his handling feels incredibly good!"

"Hmm? What are they doing?" Fang Qi stole a glance, only to see a massive crowd gathered in the internet cafe. Behind them, the little loli Jiang Xiaoyue was unfortunately too short, hopping up and down yet utterly unable to see the situation inside.

"They say Sect Master Ye and Palace Master Xue brought their disciples to play games at the shop and happened to run into each other!" Jiang Xiaoyue explained. "Right now they are playing Counter-Strike, and whoever wins gets to let their disciples play first!"

At this moment, another wave of shocked cries erupted from the crowd. "Our Sect Master is quick-scoping! Furious quick-scoping!"

"What does a quick-scope amount to? The Palace Master's Dustless Step perfectly evaded every single bullet!"

"Haven't both of these fellows just started playing? Are they really this powerful?" Fang Qi's face twitched, and he couldn't help but peer toward the inside as well, though unfortunately he could see nothing.

"My goodness! The frequency of the Sect Master's quick-scopes is something even the boss couldn't achieve, right!"

"The boss can dodge bullets?" Xiao Yulv cried out disdainfully. "The Palace Master has been evading Sect Master Ye's sniping the entire time!"

"Our Sect Master has also successfully evaded Palace Master Xue's multiple snipes!"

"My goodness! A no-scope! The Palace Master is charging with the sniper rifle and actually pulled off a no-scope!"

By this time, An Huwei and the others had also arrived at the internet cafe. Seeing such a bustling scene, they were utterly bewildered. "What is going on with this shop early this morning?"

Hardly anyone from Jiuhua City came to play games anymore, yet there were still so many people? And it was this lively?

"They're in close quarters!" Just then, An Huwei and the others heard another exclamation. "The Sect Master pulled out a Desert Eagle! He actually hit Palace Master Xue while he was executing the Dustless Step!"

"The first round is decided!"

"The match is this brilliant?" An Huwei glanced inside suspiciously and hurriedly patted the shoulders of the two disciples in front of him. "Make way! Make way!"

"Boss! I want to watch too!" Jiang Xiaoyue looked eagerly toward the center of the crowd.

"Excuse me! Excuse me!" Fang Qi had no choice but to lead the little loli as they squeezed into the crowd.

"The Palace Master has moved out again using the Dustless Step!"

"The Sect Master first tried a flick shot to get a feel for it, and the bullet perfectly avoided all obstacles!"

Just as Fang Qi squeezed into the crowd, he heard this exclamation, and his face instantly twitched. "Is that how you shout it?"

Peering inside, he saw that on one screen, someone was blindly flicking the mouse all over the place, while on the other screen, someone was hopping up and down, jumping around blindly. For ages, not a single point of health dropped!

...

"Let me see! Let me see!" The little loli Jiang Xiaoyue finally managed to drill her way in, stole a glance, and watched the two men blindly flailing at each other.

She was dumbfounded.

"Can't you summarize it succinctly in four words?" Fang Qi's face contorted slightly as he spoke in a low voice to Yun Lian beside him.

"Which four words?" Yun Lian asked.

"Noobs pecking each other," Fang Qi said in a low voice with a dark expression.

...

Yun Lian glanced at the two Sect Masters who were passionately playing Counter-Strike in the front row, his face turning flush red from holding back his laughter. "Boss, I really wouldn't dare say that..."

"I'm slipping away, I'm slipping away! You guys have fun." Fang Qi said, his face twitching as he backed out of the crowd.

In the end, it was impossible to tell which side had triumphed; Fang Qi only saw that the two factions of players had taken up residence in the two storefronts, plunging into a massive Counter-Strike team battle!

Immediately afterward, Fang Qi glanced at the quest list and saw that the Counter-Strike numbers had completely soared past the requirement!

At this moment, the arrival of the Jade Dynasty TV series was hindered only by the remaining activation count needed for Diablo II.
