Chapter 462 – The Final Showdown (1/2)
Chapter 462 The Final Showdown
The fierce battle continued for over three hours and the number of people on both sides decreased as we fought. The total number of people in the Desolate Cloud Swamp had already shrunk to less than 20,000 people. It is conceivable that not many of the [Zhan Long] players are left, [Hero’s Mound] suffered even more losses. A total of 50000+ [Hero’s Mound] members were slaughtered until about 10000+ people were left. The tides of war had gradually turned and broken away from Q-Sword’s control. The tired armies of Ba Huang City fought back desperately and finally saw the dawn of victory.
……
“Gather some intel. How many [Hero’s Mound] members are still standing in the field?”
Qing Qian stood in the midst of the corpses, the daggers in her hands were covered with blood, as she smiled and said, “[Hero’s Mound] still has a total of 8100+ people in Ba Huang City while 7000 people in Desolate Cloud Swamp. [Zhan Long] still has 4000 people now. Haha. Brother Xiao Yao, it seems like we are winning…….”
From afar, I stared at the Talisman badge on top Q-Sword’s head and said, “If Q-Sword isn’t killed then it doesn’t count as winning.”
As my Dragon Reservoir Sword trembled slightly, my eyes were locked on a person not far away. He was waving his sword and slaying the [Zhan Long] players. That person was no ordinary soldier, but Jian Tan, the elder of [Hero’s Mound] and the right hand of Q-Sword!
“Dancing Forest!”
I bellowed, “ Don’t let Jian Tan leave!”
“Alright!” Dancing Forest raised her hand and shot a [Scattered Shot] while I also had the Azure Dragon Crossbow behind me to lock on Jian Tan as the target. Immediately, five sharp arrows darted towards Jian Tan!
“Eh?”
Feeling the descending danger, Jian Tan lifted his head abruptly and his sword immediately swept past Matcha’s shield as he flipped and tumbled onto the grassland. Behind him were “PaPaPa” sounds of arrows dropping on the ground. The Azure Dragon Crossbow’s targeting time is rather long and actually did not manage to attack him. However, when Jian Tan stood up, a “Pa” sound was heard as he was hit on the chest and he entered a temporary stunned state. He could dodge the Azure Dragon Crossbow but he could not dodge Dancing Forest’s precise [Scattered Shot]
“ShaSha…….”
My Cloud Stepping Boots swept past the grassland, I activated [Haste] and dashed away. I opened my arms the instant the [Scattered Shot]’s stun effect wore off. The distance had shrunk enough and with a “Shua” sound, a dragon-shaped chain bound Jian Tan. As I exerted strength, this elder of [Hero’s Mound] was immediately pulled in front of me. With a shocked expression, he retreated, and moved 5 yards backwards through the use of [Blade Rush]!
“Hua!”
As the sound of wind swept past, I had already expected this and followed as I dashed 5 yards forward. With a wave of my Dragon Reservoir Sword, [Wind Blade] fell directly on Jian Tan’s shoulder!
“4718！”
Jian Tan was surprised and hastily wielded his sword. He slashed from the side towards my waist.
“Heh…….”
I smiled and my Cold Iron Sword arrived as it broke through the wind. With a “Keng” sound, I blocked his attack accurately. When my Dragon Reservoir Sword rose up again, Jian Tan slid a step backwards and gulped down a health potion as he simultaneously began fighting. He sent forth his sword diagonally and knocked away the attack of my Dragon Reservoir Sword, while the Cold Iron Sword in my left hand was forcefully sent towards his shoulder. As A “Keng” sound rang again, sparks of fire leapt forth. As expected, Jian Tan is indeed someone adept in the sword technique of the Northern Chen Family, his ability in continually defending is extremely high.
Without wasting much time, I crossed both of my swords and slashed. It made “Keng, Keng” sounds as my swords knocked Jian Tan’s sword away. Advancing forward, I kicked Jian Tan’s wrist with my battle boots and took the chance to land a slash on his arm. The sensation of pain caused Jian Tan to be unable to use his sword temporarily while I lowered my body and raised my swords together and revolved them rapidly, as I cut open Jian Tan’s armor abruptly with a “PaCha” soun. Blood splattered and an enormous damage number leapt up. It was an instant kill this time——
“3918！”
“4737！”
……
When Jian Tan died, the surrounding [Hero’s Mound] players finally lost their will to fight. They were unable to continue fighting anymore. It was also at this moment, the sounds of bells suddenly rang in the air——
“Ding!”
System Notification : Player [Q-Sword] successfully killed [Misty Clouds], the player in possession of a Talisman, and succeeded in taking the [Warring States Talisman – Four]. Gather ten Talismans and you can claim the ownership of the garrison at the City Lord’s office!
……
“F*ck……”
Li Mu slashed the throat of a [Hero’s Mound] Archer while gazing at the distance, “ Misty was actually killed by Q-Sword and now Q-Sword has a total of 4 Warring States Talismans.”
“Does that mean……Q-Sword will be the final winner?” Wang Jian gritted his teeth as he spoke these words.
I held the long sword covered with blood and said, “Don’t worry about that. Everyone, follow me and target Q-Sword. Kill him and all the problems can be solved!”
“Okay!”
I led the remaining 4000 elites of [Zhan Long] and slaughtered the surrounding [Hero’s Mound] players. We immediately pounced on the distant army led by Q-Sword. They were now fighting a fierce battle with [Vanguard] and [Enemies At The Gate], which had already continued for four hours!
A little distance away, in the small Rock River Valley at Desolate Cloud Swamp, a group of players covered in blood and mud were engaging in a fierce battle. Q-Sword and Jian Feng Han were among these players. Simple had already been attacked until only a few bits of her health were left and had less than 10% of her health as she retreated. [Vanguard]’s players were miserably suppressed while the players of [Enemies At The Gate] had almost been all but scattered because of the attacks. [Zhan Long] prevailed on the battlefield to the south, but [Hero’s Mound] prevailed on the battlefield here. It couldn’t be helped. There were too many [Hero’s Mound] players assembled here, so that Jian Feng Han and Misty Clouds were powerless even if they had a strong will to overcome.
“Shua!”
Jian Feng Han suddenly spread his wings with his sword held high and struck with [Through the Clouds Slash]+[Skyshaker Slash] together as he bellowed loudly, “Die!”
“Keng Keng Keng……”
After three strikes, the glow from the [Wings of Freedom] were extremely radiant. Jian Feng Han exerted all his strength and Q-Sword was forced several steps backwards and hit a huge rock, making a “Crash” sound. With a “Shua” sound, the long sword in his hand revolved in the air. His weapon was actually knocked away by Jian Feng Han’s three successive strikes!
Seeing this, Jian Feng Han’s will to kill grew even stronger. He held his sword and struck with a [Blade Rush]. As ripples under his feet surged, he activated his combo——[Exposed Point]！
Unfortunately, Q-Sword was a Grand Master, and not some noob that can be simply slayed by anyone. He tread on the mud with his battle boots and exerted his strength abruptly. In an instant, his body leapt up almost two meters, flipped in the air, and landed on top of the huge rock. Just when Jian Feng Han flew up with his sword in hand, Q-Sword gripped the handle of his own long sword as the corner of his mouth curved into a smile and yelled, “[Destruction Wolf Formation]!”
“Roarrrrrr…….”
Huge wolves were summoned and dashed towards Jian Feng Han’s body. Simultaneously, the row of [Hero’s Mound] Archers behind Q-Sword drew their bows and aimed at Jian Feng Han. It was obvious that this was a trap, but Jian Feng Han was blinded by his desire to win and so he was tricked!
“Oh no…..”
Jian Feng Han’s reaction was incredibly quick. The [Wings of Freedom] behind his back were retracted abruptly while his long sword blocked the front of his chest against the attacks of the [Destruction Wolf Formation]. He flipped and rapidly dove into the muddy water below. Although it was embarrassing, he dodged the numerous [Scattered Shots], and successfully escaped from death!
……
“GaGaGa……”
Breathing heavily, Q-Sword’s eyes were blood-red like Jian Feng Han. He had also killed until his eyes turned red. However, a team leader behind him said in a deep voice, “Boss, [Zhan Long]’s men are here! They are 200 yards away from us! Xiao Yao Zi Zai, Yue Qing Qian, General Li Mu, these people are all still alive!
Q-Sword gritted his teeth and yelled, “Everyone, retreat with me!”
Abandoning the corpses of his guild members that covered the ground, Q-Sword held his sword and dashed towards the northern areas of the map. Four Talismans floated above his head. It looks like he had realized that this place is unfavorable to stay in. Once [Zhan Long], [Vanguard], [Enemies At The Gate] stuck on, his army with less than 7000 people would be slaughtered!
……
Seeing Q-Sword flee with his 7000 men, Li Mu gnashed his teeth and shouted, “F*ck this. After killing so many of our men, he actually wants to run away? Brothers! Pursue and kill them!”
Qing Qian stared at me with eyes as clear as water and asked, “Brother Xiao Yao, should we pursue?”
I nodded, “Go! Kill them all!”
“Yes!”
