Chapter 136: Demon Sword Muramasa, Rising Dragon Fist_3
At that moment, Top Bull raised his right hand, and Ju Zipi's figure was instantly shrouded in a layer of green poison mist.
But Ju Zipi held his breath, stepped forward, and shot out like a cannonball, quickly leaving the range of the poison fog without inhaling even a whiff of it through his mouth or nose.
Top Bull didn't just sit there waiting for death; he raised his palm, and a torrential downpour of poison needles burst from the center of his hand, aiming for Ju Zipi.
Ju Zipi, with a casual swing of his Demon Sword Muramasa, unleashed a wave-like blade light that roared forth, tearing through the oncoming rain of needles with a sonic boom.
Over the next two seconds, he continued to swing the Demon Sword Muramasa. The purple and red blade lights intercepted all the poison needles, allowing him to charge forward with abandon, moving like a surging dragon irresistibly toward Top Bull.
Then he slowly raised the blade tip, wrapped in swirling currents, pressing it against Top Bull's jaw.
Seeing this, Top Bull raised both hands in surrender and sighed, "Hey, I lost, I can't fight at all, my skill mechanics are totally countered by you."
With that, he took a drag on his cigarette, walked over to the bridge railing, and without looking back, jumped down, falling into Tokyo Bay.
"That's it, surrendering just like that? What kind of scared lizard?" Mingye was stunned, "Now there's going to be one more corpse sinking in Tokyo Bay."
"He's no match for Mr. Ju Zipi," A Zhe whispered, "We've had many private spars, and everyone knows their own strength."
[Player "Top Bull" has fallen into Tokyo Bay, deemed to have lost. The winner of this match is——"Great Ju Zipi," Great Ju Zipi has earned 1 point.]
[The three emerging victors——"Failed Man," "Great Ju Zipi," and "A Zhe"—will engage in a 1V1V1 free-for-all battle.]
[The rules for this match are: every ten seconds a tsunami will strike, hitting the Rainbow Bridge of Tokyo Bay, and any player who falls from the bridge into the sea will be immediately declared a loser.]
As the system prompt ended, Mingye, Ju Zipi, and A Zhe had already appeared at the center of the bridge—Mingye in the middle, with the other two on either side.
"A Zhe, let's take him down first and then settle our score!" Ju Zipi called out loudly.
"Okay, Mr. Ju Zipi."
A Zhe hesitated for a moment, then nodded. He then fitted a knuckleduster onto his right glove, extending the blade from the middle finger.

Realizing the unfavorable situation, Mingye complained, "Come on, Ju Zipi, how come after just two weeks, you've already learned how to backstab me? Have you been at the Host Club for so long and still can't resist the temptation of a JK beauty?"
"Can't help it, you're just too strong."
As Ju Zipi spoke, he was already coordinating with A Zhe to pincer Mingye from both sides.
Despite facing a split-second risk of his head being stabbed by both a knuckleduster and a tachi, Mingye remained incredibly calm.
At the tense moment when they were closing in, he released "Phase Transfer" towards A Zhe.
The next instant, Ju Zipi's Demon Sword Muramasa pierced through A Zhe's abdomen, and A Zhe's fist blade sliced across Ju Zipi's neck.
At the same time, a "pfft, pfft" sound fell in their ears as their bodies were each stuck to a web strand, and Mingye, grabbing the webbing with both hands, brought them together.
Then, he equipped his right glove with the Electromagnetic Pulse Gloves and activated function one—"Electrify the glove's surface"— and with the glove's metallic traces filling with blue electric arcs, a strong electrical current traveled down the tenacious webbing, causing Ju Zipi and A Zhe to convulse.
Mingye stuck the two strands of web together, flexed his arms forcefully, and while they were still recovering from the electric shock, he used the strand to fling them over the railing.
He then let go of the webbing, causing them to fall into Tokyo Bay.
Splash!
A Zhe and Ju Zipi formed their own craters on the surface of the sea in Tokyo Bay, with ripples instantly swallowed by the waves.
Instant oblivion.
Ke Mingye leaned over the railing of the bridge, looking down at them and thought, these two really acted recklessly because of their stats, wouldn't they have avoided being tricked if they'd been a bit more careful?
As the two fell into Tokyo Bay, the system notification sounded in the ears of the only remaining Ke Mingye on the field.
[The battle of this game was won by the player "Failed Man," who has now earned 2 points. The instance has ended and will now proceed to the settlement phase.]
By the time everyone came to their senses, they were all leaning against the railings, standing idly on the empty Rainbow Bridge.
Fan Quan was the first to react, adjusting his glasses with an expressionless face and said, "That's really bad luck, getting that unlucky thing in the first round."
"Unlucky thing?" Ke Mingye said disdainfully, "Can you, the defeated general, say something nicer, like 'Sorry for not entertaining Spider Man properly.'"
Qing Meng grabbed Fan Quan's shoulder and pointed at A Zhe, cursing as he spoke.
"Can you explain, did you secretly buff the JK beauty? Why did she survive a grenade and ten bullets without a scratch?"
"I was playing in the revival match at the time, how would I know what happened to you?" Fan Quan sighed, "If you lost, you lost, don't make excuses."
"Exactly, do you not understand the value of the Rising Dragon Fist?"
Ke Mingye was mumbling when the instance settlement panel popped up, capturing his pupils.
[Mr. Failed Man, you have scored 3 points in this player versus player instance, therefore you will receive 4000 Mall Coins times 3 points (score), 4000 Experience Points times 3 points (score).]
[According to the settlement, you have earned a total of 12,000 Mall Coins, 12,000 Experience Points.]
[Your current total of Mall Coins is: 14,300]
"They really give a lot of money... Oh right, I seem to have a fifty-percent-off shopping coupon, I should see if I can save up to buy a Grade B Skill," thought Ke Mingye.
[Your level has been increased to Lv.13 (6000 points / 7500 points), and you have gained one attribute point to assign freely.]
[You have allocated 1 attribute point to "neurological reaction," your "neurological reaction" has changed: 37 points → 38 points (↑1 point)]
"Speaking of which... you all who are out in the first round, didn't get even a hair of a reward, did you?"
As he spoke, Ke Mingye turned his head to look at Fan Quan with a schadenfreude expression.
"There's a basic reward," Fan Quan answered.
Top Bull took a drag of a cigarette, his eyes lowered as he looked at the settlement panel and muttered in a deep voice, "Quit the chatter, once we're out of the instance we have to rush over to Shinjuku to intercept Ji Feng the warrior."
As Ke Mingye checked the panel, he asked, "Oh, does that superhero have any bodyguards?"
Top Bull replied, "Of course, he usually brings at least two personal bodyguards, he doesn't trust the people from the Superhero Association, so the bodyguards he brings are all from the local gangs."
"Then let's go, try to finish him off before dark, I still need to go home for dinner."
As he spoke, Ke Mingye closed the settlement panel, selected a departure point to leave the instance, and vanished on the spot.
Top Bull took a deep drag of his cigarette, fell silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Has he always been like this?"
"Always been like this, you get used to it."
Fan Quan said, and his figure vanished on the spot.
