Chapter 794 - No Escape to the Sea of No Return
In reality, it was just Ye Lai had said. The Sea Demon King Han Lin seemed to be especially interested in the players who were close to him. First it was Bai Li Ruo Feng, then it was Jian Feng Han, Simple, and Mu Xuan. Almost half of the players in the top ten achievement points had been killed by him.
……
“It’s you again.”
Han Lin suddenly spun around as his gaze rested on me. He raised his Water God’s Halberd and grinned, “Ant, let’s see who’s going to save you now.”
“Hua!” The Water God’s Halberd flew past me and I quickly raised my Zhen Yue Blade to parry the blow. I was currently number one in the Achievement Rankings. The fact that Han Lin wanted to kill me was well within my predictions. After all, I had another very important status. I was the commander of the Royal Army. That was enough of a reason for Han Lin to want to cut me to pieces. After all, it was easy enough to guess that for Han Lin to lead this siege against Tian Ling City, the Hybrid Demon Kings must have promised him something great. And there is nothing else that would make him break a peace treaty other than Tian Ling City itself. Afterwards, Da Lin, Lanais, and the other Hybrid Demons only have to use Tian Ling as a foothold to rage war upon the rest of the great cities.
“Keng.”
My wrist went numb as Han Lin’s blade rammed against my own. I nearly lost my grip on the Zhen Yue Blade. I retreated several steps from the impact of the clash. Han Lin had an incredible attack and he immediately threw a second slash right onto my shoulder. Blood spurt forth and my Violet Heaven Cape was torn. I lost 50,000 health to that one slash.
“Hong.”
A dragon screech sounded and holy power surged forth from the Violet Heaven Cape. Two dragon spirits rose up into the air and encircled my body, protecting me from all damage. However the Twin Dragon’s shield’s durability was linked with the user’s attack power and this Twin Dragon shield’s durability clearly wasn’t enough to stand against Han Lin’s explosive hit.
“You will die.”
Han Lin’s words were filled with malice. He reached out, grabbed my cape, and dragged me by my back. As soon as I was in range, he threw a fierce kick into my abdomen.
I quickly raised both of my arms to block the attack. As I did that, I cast a Level 12 [Cleansing Rain] while gulping down a potion. My health jumped back up, holding death at bay.
“20,435.”
“20,000.”
My base attack determines the effect of my [Cleaning Rain]. I instantaneously recovered a large amount of my health. Han Lin’s second attack threw my health back into critical and the impact threw me backwards.
Blades of wind encircled Han Lin’s legs as he activated another area-of-effect attack. I felt my heart sink. Is this how I would die?
Right then, Han Lin’s body suddenly shuddered and a “Stun” symbol appeared over his head. It only lasted for 0.4 seconds. I saw Qing Qian’s figure flash before me as she shouted, “Brother Xiao Yao, run! You can’t win against this one.”
Han Lin roared in anger and he swung his Water Halberd at Qing Qian. She couldn’t parry such an attack! A breeze brushed past my face and I saw a beautiful figure suddenly rise up before Qing Qian. Wan Er opened up her umbrella with one hand to block the dagger. “Peng!” Sparks flew and she was thrown backwards. She grabbed Qing Qian in the process and the two girls were thrown far back.
Han Lin growled in anger and was about to pursue, but a white horse suddenly dashed forward. It was Matcha on her mount. Han Lin roared, “Meddlesome ants, die!”
He threw three separate attacks with his Water God’s Halberd. “Pa pa pa!” They landed against Matcha’s Lion King Shield. Right now, Matcha’s reaction speed was already at the top of the class. She rammed the Lion King Shield against the ground activating [Heavenly Shield] and [Phantom Holy Shield] before the attacks had hit. In the end, the Lion King Shield took all three attacks, while Matcha maintained around 20% of her health. She displayed one of the top survivability skills in all of Tian Ling City.
“Matcha, hurry up and leave.” Wolf called out from a distance.
Thankfully, Ye Lai lead his Frost Rams to charge forward, giving Matcha a chance to escape. In the next moment, a [Blade Tempest] ripped through the Steel Blade Horsemen, the Frost Ram Horsemen, and the Azure Oxen. This was truly a battle of lives. Dong Cheng, Dancing Forest, and the others were far away as they cast their spells. Furthermore, they were constantly shifting locations while casting to avoid being locked by the Halberd’s [Wind Blade]. Just one hit would be an instant kill.
……
“My god…”
I sat on my horse around a hundred yards away from the battle. At least this way, I wouldn’t be targeted so easily. The Twin Dragon skill on my Violet Heaven Cape had a ten minute cool down. I needed to wait for that cooldown to reset before I could try engaging again. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the confidence to survive an attack from Han Lin.
Li Mu and Wan Er both came over to me. They were both among the top twenty players in the Achievement Rankings. Han Lin was especially aggressive towards us. Going after him again was equivalent to committing suicide. If we were to engage, we would at least have to wait until Han Lin was close to dying.
The sea breeze picked up as all the top players of Tian Ling City leapt into battle against the Sea Demon King, only to be killed in the droves. Within twenty minutes, over 100,000 players had died at the hands of the Sea Demon King. Bodies piled up in layers, even though they disappeared fairly quickly. I could see a thick layer of blood coating Han Lin’s Water God Halberd. There were constant screams of despair. This King of the Sea of No Return had a pride that we could not understand. After all, everyone’s target was the Halberd in his hands.
Li Mu gripped his reins and turned to me. “Quite a few people left Moon City and entered the Chinese territory. I think they’re trying to take advantage of us. But, I’m afraid that by the time they arrive here, the battle will already be over. Additionally, Port City, Flame Cloud City, and some others are planning on crossing the War God’s River to come to this battlefield. At least several thousand of them drowned in the process. They truly underestimated the underwater current in that river.
