You two, fight it out first

Zhou Yue let out a miserable howl as he plummeted downward.

Beside him, Li Moran was stunned.

Clearly, Lu Ze had dodged Zhou Yue's attack and seized absolute advantage.

So why resort to such shameless tactics...

Before she could figure it out, Lu Ze charged at her with a pair of scissors in hand.

Li Moran didn’t hesitate—she immediately retreated.

Aerial combat was Lu Ze’s absolute domain.

His bridging techniques were simply too advanced!

Others trembled in fear mid-air, terrified of slipping and falling.

But Lu Ze’s blocks seemed to have a mind of their own, appearing beneath his feet no matter where he moved, even in the most impossible positions.

Li Moran retreated to the island, with Lu Ze hot on her heels.

Not long ago, Li Moran had broken through in her cultivation.

But Lu Ze had no concept of "sparing the fairer sex."

All he knew was that Li Moran had the highest Demon Path Value on the field, second only to Li Jiujian.

That old geezer Li Jiujian had just been sent home by him and would take a while to return.

A gleaming 1.6 Demon Path Value was right in front of him—it’d be a waste not to claim it.

Just as the two were about to clash—

"Wait! I’m not dead yet!!"

Zhou Yue’s voice suddenly rang out.

"You—your skills aren’t weak, so why resort to such underhanded methods!?"

Zhou Yue grumbled while munching on a golden apple to restore his health.

"How about this—you two fight first, and the winner gets to face me?" Lu Ze suggested with a grin.

"Trying to sow discord? You think I’d fall for that?"

Zhou Yue immediately refused.

"Then I’ll just run away… you can’t catch me anyway."

Lu Ze replied leisurely.

"..."

Zhou Yue was speechless.

With Lu Ze’s absurd escape skills, there was truly no stopping him without enough Ender Pearls or Fire Cloud Talismans.

Exchanging a glance with Li Moran, the two simultaneously drew their swords.

"Junior Sister Li, forgive my offense!"

"No need for apologies."

...

Lu Ze watched their duel with great interest.

While their real-world combat instincts were formidable, this was a game world.

Here, battles followed game mechanics.

In Minecraft, the combat system was simple.

A character’s attack range was three blocks.

Each strike had a hidden cooldown—attacks before the cooldown reset dealt reduced damage.

Jump attacks triggered critical hits.

And every hit inflicted five blocks of knockback.

Under these rules, the key to victory lay in—

Distance control and combos.

To Lu Ze’s surprise, Zhou Yue and Li Moran, relying on their insane combat experience, had vaguely grasped these principles.

Even in an illusory battlefield, the talents of these two prodigies remained terrifying!

Especially Li Moran.

Her spacing and micro-adjustments reached a level that left onlookers in awe.

She even surpassed Zhou Yue.

Precisely positioning herself three blocks away before striking, ensuring optimal range.

The moment her attack sent Zhou Yue flying—

She halted abruptly.

Causing Zhou Yue’s counter to whiff.

Then, she swiftly advanced, chaining into the next strike!

With such a combo, the moment her first hit landed ahead of Zhou Yue’s, the outcome was decided.

At the last sliver of health, Li Moran stopped.

Righteous sparring emphasized restraint—no need for overkill.

"Junior Sister Li is truly remarkable. I think I understand now…!"

Zhou Yue wasn’t disheartened. Instead, he seemed to have gleaned something from Li Moran’s movements.

Just then, a stone sword pierced through his chest.

"???"

Zhou Yue turned in shock, staring at "Bai Mu’s" face.

He couldn’t fathom it…

He was already stripped bare—why would "Bai Mu" still kill him?

This was beyond dishonorable!!

[Demon Path Value +1.3]

As Zhou Yue’s Demon Path Value was added to his tally, Lu Ze cheerfully clapped his hands and turned to Li Moran.

Li Moran was long accustomed to Lu Ze’s shameless Demon Path antics.

"Li Moran, of the Sword Inquiry Peak."

She drew her blade, adopting the stance of a challenger facing Lu Ze.

"Let us cross swords!"

...

...

In Zhong Yi’s illusory realm, the number of spectators skyrocketed.

As "Bai Mu’s" teammate, this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness his first-person perspective!

[Freelance Expert vs. Lingxiao Sect’s Top Sword Cultivator?]

[Hype! Can’t wait!]

[Senior Brother Zhong, feel free to watch, but no weird commentary!]

[I doubt "Bai Mu" can win in a straight fight.]

[Senior Sister Li’s strength is beyond question. That last duel was flawless.]

[Agreed! The earlier clash between elites was epic. This one feels bland in comparison.]

[I’ve got a feeling this guy’s gonna flee again…]

[Don’t run! Let Senior Sister Li get the kill!]

...

Before this match began, "Bai Mu’s" reputation was legendary.

Undefeated, never killed, every game a stomp…

These were tales passed by word of mouth.

Most duo-mode players were casuals—few had livestream privileges like Zhong Yi or Zhou Yue.

But this round was different.

Of the 15 participants, all were either elite disciples, elders, or at least core inner sect members.

Nearly everyone could broadcast!

Thus, the match was laid bare before the public.

From the central island skirmishes, "Bai Mu’s" strength seemed… questionable.

Aside from his runaway dominance in mobility,

He avoided direct confrontation at all costs!

Other than mercilessly crushing Li Jiujian, he relied entirely on aerial agility to cheese fights against everyone else!

Strong? Yes. But unconvincing.

After all, cultivators’ ideals of strength were still rooted in reality.

Without proven combat prowess, doubts would always linger.

As for his frontal assault on Li Jiujian?

Elder Li was cut from the same cloth as Zhong Yi—a noob who loved playing despite his lack of skill.

So kicking him to death didn’t leave much of an impression.

Now, "Bai Mu" facing Li Moran head-on had drawn immense attention.

Li Moran wasn’t just the Lingxiao Sect’s undisputed top sword prodigy in reality—

In Bed Wars, she was a nigh-unstoppable goddess of slaughter!

Her duel with Zhou Yue had only cemented that reputation!

Everyone eagerly awaited Li Moran delivering a crushing blow to "Bai Mu," restoring the sect’s honor.

After witnessing Li Moran and Zhou Yue’s peak duel, none of the spectators—Zhong Yi included—believed "Bai Mu" stood a chance.

"With Junior Sister Li stepping in, Brother Bai’s in for a rough time…"

Zhong Yi shook his head and muttered.
