Chapter 435 – Dong Cheng battles Ru Ji (1/2)
Chapter 435 Dong Cheng battles Ru Ji
The time it took us to clear the monsters was far longer than I imagined. It took us almost 5 hours to get through the fourth floor, but we finally cleaned up all of the Armored Horsemen. We gained quite a bit of experience and drops, and I rose all the way up to Lv 83 with 57% experience and got over 59 pieces of Desolate Sky Armor, completing 10 outfits. [Zhan Long] was fated to have at least 10 top tier close combat players, or well at least they would have top tier equipment to match others.
……
“Sha sha….”
My battle boots stepped across the desert sand. I walked up to an enormous grave, and on it was carved the words, “The Grave of the Unrivaled Xin Lin Jun”. It was clear that this was the resting place of Xin Lin Jun’s corpse. Below it was an entrance. The smell of rotten meat wafted up from the passageway. This was the most important part of this SSS tier quest. The difficulty would be much higher than that of Meng Chang Jun’s!
I gripped my Emperor Qin’s Sword and said, “Let’s go. This is the last obstacle. After we finish killing this boss, we can probably eat lunch…..”
Dong Cheng Yue sneezed, “It smells terrible, we should finish up quickly…..”
“Yup, let’s go!”
I held up my swords, and jumped into the hole. After 20 meters, there was a large stone wall in front of us, and on it was carved ancient letters and a map. Once I walked up close, the stone wall started to rumble and open up, shaking the earth. Once the entrance had completely opened up, rays of sunlight fell into the passage. It was a 10 meter wide stone tunnel that traveled off into the distance. On the two sides of the tunnel were Armored Horsemen all lined up holding their halberds. Their halberds reflected a cold light that gave people the shivers.
I walked into the stone passageway with Wan Er right next to me. Her beautiful eyes glanced at the Armored Horsemen and she whispered, “Wah….. these Lv 93 Thunder Tier monsters, there’s…. almost 10,000 of them. If they all came at us, they would be able to kill us in seconds…..”
Li Mu whispered, “There’s some even stronger. If you look closely, there’s archers behind those horsemen. They’re also Lv 93 Thunder Tier, and there’s a lot of them….”
Matcha patted her shoulders and descended from the sky. She stuck out her tongue, “Behind those archers, there’s also a bunch holding fans in one hand and sickles in the other, strategists. They’re all magic type mobs, they’re ones we should be careful of…..”
Dong Cheng gripped her staff, “Eh, sister, why do I feel like we aren’t here for a quest, but rather a suicide mission…. What are we supposed to do now….”
I lowered my voice, “Let’s not panic yet. After all, it’s just a 10 man SSS tier main quest. They probably wouldn’t all just come at us and kill us off. Let’s all just cool down really quickly….”
At that moment, a ray of light fell from the sky onto a hall at the end of the path. A total of six people who wore the same outfit stood there. One of them was wearing a purple gold helmet and a gold colored armor. He held a longsword in his hand and had a handsome face. Behind him, he wore a black cloak. He gave us a cruel smile and roared out, “Who dares trespass in my mansion?!”
“Hua la la….”
On the two sides, the thousands of soldiers knelt on the ground and shouted, “Long Live the King! Long live the King!”
I looked over at the man. Indeed, it was Xin Lin Jun, a Lv 93 Saint Tier BOSS. We finally made it!
Beside Xin Lin Jun, there were 5 other generals, Hou Yin, Zhu Hai, Ru Ji, Xue Yin, and Pu Bi. All of them were 93 Saint Tier BOSSes and their stats were pretty strong.
Wan Er tugged my chest plate, “This many BOSSes, how are we supposed to fight them all? Besides…. they’re all Saint Tier level BOSSes. I don’t think this game is designed in a way to let us survive this quest….”
Dong Cheng squinted, “Saint Tier Lv 93 BOSS, with 4000 attack and 700,000 – 900,000 health. His strongest point is his attack. We can’t block that…. especially if all 5 of them came at us at once……”
……
Everyone was feeling a little terrified. After all, there were so many Saint Tier BOSSes. If they all attacked at once, nobody would be able to withstand it. On top of that, this enormous tomb had several thousand people, making it even harder to block.
Xin Lin Jun raised his long sword and walked up, as he pointed the blade at me and shouted, “Listen to my command, I will now tell you how you will die —— under the pain of a thousand arrows buried in your heart!”
In the distance, a group of archers all pulled back their bows. At least a hundred arrowheads were pointed at us. If we took this attack, we would definitely become porcupines!
Dong Cheng quickly raised her [Mana Shield], her face ashen, “Wu…. I don’t want to die. I haven’t even had my first time… These NPCs are just too mean….”
Little Wolf glanced at her, “Really?”
“Of course….” Dong Cheng said bashfully.
Wan Er gave a sigh, “You’re about to die, don’t try to act cute…”
My blade jolted as I activated [Wall of Dou Qi]. I pointed my blade at Xin Lin Jun, and shouted, “What kind of skill do you have to bully the weak with numbers? If you have real skill then you should duel with me! Wei Wu Ji*, over the course of history, you’re still considered a rather famous person. To think you actually had such little courage. Do you not even have the guts to fight a duel?”
TL Note: The real name of Xin Lin Jun is Wei Wu Ji, Xin Lin Jun is just a title, as go for the other four noblemen (Chun Shen Jun, Pin Yuan Jun, and Meng Chang Jun)
Xin Lin Jun’s eyes turned cold, “Bastard, what did you say? Are you saying that I don’t have the courage to battle you? I just don’t want to dirty my hands with trash like you! If it’s like this, then I want to see what skills you guys have. If you can overcome the first obstacle, then I will personally use my Green Copper Sword and send you to hell!
“Di!”
System Notification, Your quest entered a special situation [Duel]!
Quest introduction; You have accepted a one on one duel. You must win all five duels in order to have the chance to duel Xin Lin Jun Wei Wu Ji, otherwise the quest will automatically fail!
……
Wei Wu Ji pointed his sword at us and shouted, “I will command five different generals to accept your challenge. You must defeat them all before I cross swords with you! Come, Hou Yin, Zhu Hai, Ru Ji, Xue Yin and Jin Bi, I will trouble you to help me teach these little bastards a lesson on what it means to be ignorant of how high the sky really is*!”
