Chapter 960: Hope for This Thing
"Why did the agreed person back out?" Bai Youwei frowned, "Didn’t Shen Mo tell you the reason?"
"It’s all because of the mess caused by the fourth battle!" Tan Xiao bitterly complained, "A commoner escaped from the battle, ranting like a madman afterward, describing how powerful and twisted the King inside was, claiming he was invulnerable and could even control players! Naturally, that scared everyone."
"Invulnerable... control players..." Bai Youwei paused in shock, "Are you saying that Fu Miaoxue and Du Lai lost?"
"Well, about that..." Tan Xiao shifted uncomfortably, stammering as he replied, "...they did lose. Yan mentioned that the opponent had some powerful artifacts, making it difficult for them to turn the tables. So, before something happened to her, Fu Miaoxue degraded all her living subjects."
"With Du Lai protecting her, how could Fu Miaoxue end up in trouble?" Bai Youwei frowned, "Are you sure you heard everything correctly?"
Tan Xiao’s voice weakened a few degrees, "I did hear it right... That Du Lai was controlled by the King’s artifact. Then Yan told everyone to focus their attacks on the King, but somehow, all attacks ended up being blocked by Du Lai; so... Du Lai definitely couldn’t have survived..."
Bai Youwei pursed her lips, her expression turning ugly.
Tan Xiao sneaked a glance at her, worried she might be upset, so he picked a piece of good news to share, "However, Yan also said that although the King won, his victory was costly! He was burned all over, barely having any good skin left, and that artifact of his most likely got destroyed too!"
Bai Youwei remained silent for a long time, then finally spoke, "That King, was his name Willard?"
