Chapter 1557: Killing The Junior Sister
Chapter 1557: Killing The Junior Sister
Thud!
Rising Cloud made a soft rustling noise as I landed gently on the ground. I made my move after I looked around with Dark Pupils and confirmed that there were no mobs or players within 500 yards of me.
The Teleportation Divine Crystal shone brightly in my palm. Summon!
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh…
Wisps of light blue magic rose from the ground and transformed into a huge hexagram in no time. At the same time, I said in the party channel, "Now, brothers! Once you’ve come through the teleportation formation, form up and charge toward the north immediately! Throne of the Wild’s blockade is just a thousand yards away from our position!"
The teleportation formation began flashing rapidly. The first person to come through it was a flying Li Chengfeng. He paid me no heed and flew straight toward the north. Behind him, Gui Guzi, He Yi, Lian Xin, Beiming Xue, Chaos Moon and more Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls elites rushed out and shattered the silence of the forest instantly. They were all brandishing their blades and following closely behind Li Chengfeng!
5 minutes later, after everyone had come through the teleportation formation, I immediately turned it off and put the Teleportation Divine Crystal back into my pockets[1]. For now, it seemed like no one knew how the Dragonlight Cavalrymen had appeared out of nowhere. In fact, not many people were aware that the Teleportation Divine Crystal was what allowed me to pull off this stunt. The only ones who really knew what was going on were He Yi, Gui Guzi, Li Chengfeng and a handful of others.
……
I chased after my troops. A shield formation was waiting for us at the valley entrance not because Throne of the Wild knew we were coming, but because Tear Stain was a meticulous woman who prepared for the eventuality that someone would try and rescue Warsky Alliance and Soul Battle Robes. I counted at least 100k enemies in total, and behind the shield formation were thick rows of mages, archers, tamers and other classes. Overall, the enemy’s battle line was at least 100 meters deep[2]. It would be very difficult to penetrate it.
Floating about 2 meters above the ground, Li Chengfeng gave his Cyan Peak Halberd a swing and asked loudly, "Do we attack now, Lu Chen?"
I gave him a small nod. "Yeah. Let’s hit them together. We’ll breach the enemy’s shield formation with our Ancient Divine Skills so that the Dragonlight Cavalry could penetrate all the way to their ranged players! Ideally, we want to penetrate the enemy’s battle line in one go!"
"Got it!"
I looked up. "Beiming!"
"Yes, big bro?" The beautiful Dark Archer shot me a smile. "What do you need me to do?"
"Suppress Tear Stain and keep her from interrupting our charge!"
"I’ll do my best!"
……
Meanwhile, the Koreans guarding the valley entrance had been alerted to our presence. A big man with a tanned face shouted, "Ssi-bal! Where the fuck did these Chinese come from? I thought we’ve sealed off all the exits! Ssi-bal! It’s Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls’ strongest cavalry, the Dragonlight Cavalry no less!"
An archer said with a deep frown, "Oh no, the players flying at the forefront… they’re Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand and Legendary Brave! How did they show up here? There are so many Dragonlight Cavalrymen. How on earth are we going to stop them?"
It was at this moment a ring of light shone from atop their heads. It was the power of Tear Stain’s Domain. As she descended toward the ground—the sight of her long, pale legs causing some of her subordinates to swallow audibly—she smirked at our players and said in a low tone, "First row of the shield formation, move forward to increase the depth of our battle line. Archers and mages, focus-fire the foremost enemies and bring them down one by one. I may not know where this army came from, but I know that not one of them is leaving this place alive. They think they can rescue Soul Battle Robes and Warsky Alliance with just 10,000+ Dragonlight Cavalrymen? We’ll crush them!"
Countless shields were dropped on the rocky ground. As expected, the enemy had moved its magic knights forward so as to increase the depth of their battle line. The move also meant that our Ancient Divine Skills wouldn’t be able to penetrate the enemy’s shield formation in one go.
Li Chengfeng grew anxious when he saw this. "That cunning woman. What do we do?"
I raised the Xuanyuan Sword and declared with a smile, "What else? We blow them apart via brute force!"
"Mn!"
I dropped lower until I was just a meter above the ground. Then, I sped up toward the enemy’s shield formation. Beside me, Li Chengfeng, Gui Guzi, He Yi and more did the same thing as well.
When I got within melee range of the first row of shielders, I swung my sword repeatedly and batted the enemy cavalrymen away like it was baseball, creating an empty space immediately. My Strength was just that high. My friends copied my movement, and in just an instant we had made an absolute mess of the first shield formation!
"These brutes…" Tear Stain swore, but didn’t say anything further.
Swhoosh!
The grass shook like crazy as I exploded toward the next line of enemies. Heavenly River Transformation already activated by the time I reached the next shield formation, I brought down the Xuanyuan Slash in one smooth motion!
Boom!
Dust flew everywhere as the gigantic golden blade fell on top of the enemy. The Ancient Divine Skill was already powerful and Defense-ignoring, but the Xuanyuan Sword’s septuple damage effect and my own critical hit rate made it positively lethal. I hadn’t even accounted for the splash effect yet. Long story short, hundreds of people screamed in pain as ridiculous damage numbers rose from their heads—
7,812,762!
3,766,301!
25,052,615!
55,824,314!
……
At least a hundred people were one-shot and turned into souls just like that. Behind me, a red-faced Heaven’s Rain cheered excitedly, "Wow, vice leader big bro’s Attack is seriously crazy! No wonder the Xuanyuan Sword is the greatest of the Twelve Divine Armaments!"
"He’s not even done yet!" Li Chengfeng laughed. "Please Xuanyuan Art their asses so we can grab some contribution points, Lu Chen!"
I chuckled. "No problem!"
A red shock wave spread out from my person as I activated the Xuanyuan Art. All the players outside the valley and even some of those inside the valley lost 70% of their HP in an instant. They swore, "Ssi-bal! What is going on? How did we lose so much HP all of a sudden?"
Inside the valley, Song of Ice and Fire dished out a Gonggong’s Furious Strike while laughing. "Did you see that? That can only be the Xuanyuan Art, which means that Lu Chen and Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls have come to our rescue, haha! Now is the time to break out of the enemy’s encirclement, brothers and sisters!"
Warsky wiped the sweat on his face and smiled as well. "You can always count on Lu Chen to be a bro…"
October Rain chided him while drawing her bow, "Hmph. I told you not to chase the enemy, but no, you just had to get that kill on Breeze and Rain. Thank goodness Lu Chen still chose to save us despite our differences, or this battle would’ve ended in regrets. Speaking of which, I’m growing to love Lu Chen more and more. I think I’m going to quit my position after this Nation War, join Ancient Sword, and serve under Lu Chen so I can win his heart… and his dick…"
Lin Bing Dou Zhe couldn’t keep his face from twitching. "Little Rain, your shame… Where is it?"
……
Meanwhile, the battle outside the valley was growing fiercer and fiercer. Li Chengfeng swooped down on the low-health players and swept them all with his SS Rank Crimson Firmament Slash. The poor bastards only had 30% HP or so, so of course they died without resistance. This was what Li Chengfeng meant when he had asked me to assist the gang in grabbing some contribution points with the Xuanyuan Art. Of course, if I used the Xuanyuan Art after my players used their Ancient Divine Skills, then the contribution points would go to me. I wasn’t lacking in contribution points though, and it wasn’t fitting for a vice leader to act in such a selfish manner.
Heaven’s Rain and Diamond Dust unleashed their Tiger Wing Slash and Dog God Slash. Eve also activated Chengying and Hanguang to drastically increase her attack power and speed, and make all of her attacks Defense-ignoring. Nearly everyone who ate her Stormwind Slash + Stormwind Break combo died without resistance. Right after that, Gui Guzi cast Thousand Ghosts Descent that affected all enemies within 400 yards of him and yoinked countless points for himself.
While all this was going on, the Dragonlight Cavalry kept pushing forward and cutting down anyone who dared to stand in their way. Although the enemy’s mages and archers managed to focus fire and kill a lot of them, they were ultimately successful in reaching the enemy’s ranged party and treating them to the bane of their existence, Ultimate Strength Break. Throne of the Wild’s player count dropped drastically after just one rotation of the blue-colored skills!
……
Swhoosh!
It was at this moment a divine player swooped down from above. It was none other than Tear Stain herself!
"Die!"
Tear Stain cast her S Rank Ancient Divine Skill, Yemaek Slash while still mid-glide!
Boom! Rocks flew everywhere as High Fighting Spirits and Chaos Moon abruptly froze in place. The skill prevented them from moving or attacking for 3 seconds.
After Tear Stain landed on the ground, she dodged a couple of Trapping Nets, found a suitable attack angle, and unleashed Lin Yixin’s signature skill, the Ice Flame Slash. Its power might not be equal to Lin Yixin’s, but it was still plenty powerful!
1,576,762!
1,711,265!
My heart ached at the sight of the high damage numbers. Chaos Moon and High Fighting Spirits were no tanky fighters, and they had no priests to heal away the damage[3]. They couldn’t possibly withstand this level of DPS for long.
"I’ll kill her!"
Li Chengfeng declared as he abruptly dashed toward Tear Stain!
Tear Stain smiled as she floated backward like a butterfly. To our surprise, Li Chengfeng actually missed his attack and allowed Tear Stain to freeze him for 1.5 seconds with an Ice Blade Slash!
Stunned, High Fighting Spirits commented in the party channel, "How the fuck did Li fall for such a basic attack? I know, it’s because he can’t think clearly after the attack on his beloved, Chaos Moon…"
Chaos Moon glared at the guy. "Bullshit! You’re his beloved!"
Li Chengfeng: "Beloved my ass! I missed because a goddamned leaf fell in front of my face and fucked up my camera angle…"
……
In the sky, Beiming Xue fired an Evil Spirit Volley that struck Tear Stain repeatedly in the chest and drenched her pair of snowy mounds in blood.
Furious, Tear Stain flew up to meet her in combat!
"Screech…"
However, the Fire Phoenix was able to pull away from Tear Stain while Beiming Xue flicked Shock Arrow at her. It was a successful stun!
……
"Now! Take out Candlelight Shadow’s junior sister!" I shouted while flying toward Tear Stain.
1. E/N: Holy fuck, it’s not one-time use only? How broken is that? Are there any limitations, or is he a portable army? ☜
2. T/N: yo seriously? Even if it’s not packed like sardines that’s still SUPER deep ☜
3. T/N: the raws says that they have no buffs, but Lu Chen specifically ordered them to get full buffs before they went through the portal, and I don’t think so much time has passed that their buffs have expired, so no lol ☜
