Chapter 743 – Caught off Guard (2/2)
Of course, everything was for the sake of the Zhen Yue Blade. Otherwise, nobody would chase a shorty like him.
……
In the blink of an eye, three hours had passed. There was only two hours left before the Zhen Yue Blade completely slipped out of our hands. There was only one hour left before the Lion King Shield was ours. The shield itself was still in the possession of Matcha and had around twenty thousand [Zhan Long] players protecting it. [Judgement], [Enemies at the Gate] and other fellow allies had all sent players to protect it. It was on the scale of around fifty thousand elite players. The Lion King Shield was held tightly in [Zhan Long]’s hands. The only variable in the equation was now the Zhen Yue Blade.
“Shua!”
I brought up the map for the desert and looked at it in frustration. Frost Forest had already took us around three full circles around the center of the desert map and he’s still not a bit tired. Motehrf*cker that b*st*rd is too cruel.
The dragon’s flight speed was incredibly fast. No matter how I tried, I couldn’t catch up. That dragon could fly to an altitude of forty yards, a range that most player attacks couldn’t reach, other than my [Dragon’s Hook], [Grip of Purgatory] and [Defeat the Dragon] effects. Otherwise, there was no way we could keep him in one place. And yet, every time, I’m not anywhere in the dragon’s flight path. In addition, Frost Forest’s information was pretty up to date. It seems that each time he was purposely trying to avoid me. That man was like a pile of muddy sand, and I couldn’t hold onto it no matter how I tried.
I watched as we continuously circled the desert. I suddenly had an idea come to me. I looked down at Wan Er and said, “Wan Er, go onto Yao Yan’s horse. I’m going to leave the line!”
Wan Er was stunned, “Pig, what are you doing, leaving the line….”
I replied, “If I don’t leave the line, then I’m afraid that the Zhen Yue Blade will never fall into the hands of the Chinese server. Motherf*cker, even if the Koreans or the French take the blade, I will at least endure that. But it just cannot be the Japanese.”
Wan Er blinked a few times and smiled, “Alright, I understand. Good luck!”
“Yup!”
Wan Er leapt over to Yao Yan’s side. She hugged Yao Yan’s thin waist while I bid farewell to Li Mu, Wang Jian and the others and charged out on my own and summoned my Ancient Heavenly Tiger.
……
I looked at the map and urged my horse forward. Around twenty minutes later, I reached no man’s land. I couldn’t see a single figure in the map. However, this was the exact place that Frost Forest had been taking the Tian Ling City players in circles. Even though there wasn’t a hundred percent chance that they were going to pass through here, but this was the conclusion that I came to after the three circles that he had taken us in. Each time, he ran a larger circumference, around 300 meters wider. Based off of this, he should appear here!
I leapt off my horse and put it away into my mount space. Afterwards, I raised my two swords and dug a hole into the ground and hid myself in the sand. The pit was around a meter deep, leaving only a small space for me to breathe. This way, if you were looking from above, there looked as though nobody was here.
The sand was burning hot from cooking under the sun. I was starting to drip sweat from all of the heat. I felt as though thousands of ants were crawling on my body. However, for the sake of this Zhen Yue Blade, I continued hiding.
After a few minutes, I heard the sounds of hooves pounding in the distance. Countless Horsemen were running towards us. There seemed to be people who had ran right over me and didn’t notice. However these people weren’t Frost Forest, because their names were green. They were most likely the players from [Judgement], and [Legend]. Frost Forest was riding his dragon and his spot looked 50% larger than that of other players.
I continued waiting. Around fifty minutes later, the Steel Blade Horsemen were less than ten minutes away. I felt my heart tighten. It was now! A red dot flashed past on the map. It was larger than the normal players and it was red. It was Frost Forest, no doubt about it!
I could feel my heart in my throat. I nearly forgot how to breathe. The dragon had flown exactly as I had predicted. It was around a hundred meters away, but that was enough. Frost Forest that b*st*rd saw me every time he turned and every time he would be over two hundred yards away from me. This time he was close enough!
……
Right as the dragon flew over me, I suddenly leapt out of the sand. I looked up and saw the dragon’s figure flash right over the sun. My body began to heat up and my dragon power rose. I activated my special skill——[Dragon Transformation]!
In a flash, I had obtained the ability to fly and I stepped into the air. I activated my [Haste] and quickly flew at the dragon. I raised my hand and activated [Seven Star Teleportation] in the air. This time I jumped right into it, flashing forward. Frost Forest looked back and saw me, his face filled with shock, “D*mm*t!”
The dragon’s speed wasn’t much higher than mine when I was using the [Dragon Transformation]. I raised my hand and activated [Dragon’s Hook]!
“Pu”!
The Dragon’s Hook pierced right through the chest of the dragon. I pulled backward and the dragon wailed, and rammed right into me. In that moment, I activated[ Combo]+[Strength of a Thousand Men] and let loose onto the dragon’s abdomen. In that moment, Frost Forest’s health had dropped to critical. As he was flying, he had no way to defend against my attacks and quickly pulled on his dragon’s reigns.
I grabbed onto the dragon’s leg, and made him flip. I then threw several cuts with my right blade, and drew more dragon blood!
“Son of a b*tch!”
Frost Forest roared. His health was close to disappearing. He activated a special skill, and let a golden light wrap around his body. It lasted for fifteen seconds where he wouldn’t receive any damage. He had also cancelled the [Battle Dragon] effect. He raised his Zhen Yue Blade and let a[Combo]+[Combo]+normal attack.
I hadn’t completely expected the force and didn’t realize that I wouldn’t be able to hold against the attacks of the Zhen Yue Blade. I shuddered and grabbed my arm, activating my own invincible special skill that lasted for 25 seconds!
Frost Forest quickly drowned a health potion. “Peng!” he fell to the ground with me. I grabbed onto him. “Peng!” my knee smashed into his stomach. Even though this didn’t technically deal any damage, it was enough to deal some pain. Frost Forest went after me with the Zhen Yue Blade raised and, jammed it deeply into my shoulder. However, with my Invincible body effect, he wouldn’t be able to kill me.
In the next fifteen seconds, I raised my hand. Frost Forest was already trying to retreat. However, when he looked up, he saw a fierce attack coming right at him from above. Both of my blades had cut into his body. With my Dragon Transformation, my attack was too strong for him. All he had was the strength of the Zhen Yue Blade, but still couldn’t block my attack. He fell to his knees and died!
“PA!”
I raised my left hand and grabbed the hilt of the blade!
The Zhen Yue Blade was mine!
……
I summoned my Flying Scythe Horse and ran. In ten minutes, it was mine!
