Suddenly, Moon Shadow rushed over and attacked me with Blaze!
Bang!
Caught off-guard, I got knocked back a couple of steps and lost around 500 HP . There was even a crack on my shoulder armor . His character notwithstanding, his attack power was definitely impressive!
Furious, Gui Guzi retaliated with a thrust of his own spear!
Puchi!
Moon Shadow took a Death Combo to the chest and got knocked back himself . But unlike me, he only had a sliver of HP left . Gui Guzi’s attack was clearly nothing to be scoffed at as well!
Murong Mingyue hurriedly applied an instantaneous heal to Moon Shadow . However, her expression was ugly .
Beiming Xue grabbed my elbow with a frigid expression and uttered, “Boss, it’s clear they don’t welcome us . Let’s not sully our eyes with the sight of the Ego Three and leave already!”
Spring Mud pointed his sword at Beiming Xue and shouted angrily, “Say that again, b.i.t.c.h!”
Gritting my teeth, I pulled my right arm away from Beiming Xue and punched Spring Mud right in the face, dealing over 300 damage . Then, I followed up with an arrogant Pardon!
MISS!
My sword glowed blood-red, but I didn’t follow up the attack and kill Spring Mud with Desperate Gambit . The guy looked as pale as death, however . He knew he would die no matter what if I chose to act .
Staring at the stunned Spring Mud, I said, “Insult my men again, and I’ll wipe you from the surface of Floating Ice City!”
Finally, I grabbed Beiming Xue’s hand, turned away and walked back to b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries’ waiting zone .
On the way back, I frowned deeply without saying a word . Beiming Xue whispered beside me and said, “Sorry, boss…”
“You have nothing to apologize for…” I shook my head and smiled at her . “It wasn’t your fault . ”
“I know, but, we…”
“It’s fine…”
I sucked in a deep breath to clear my mind . For now, it didn’t look like we would be returning to Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls anytime soon . The three heads of the Ego workshop had become the biggest obstacles to our return .

Although He Yi looked moved just now, she wasn’t able to confirm my ident.i.ty . The fact that she stood through the whole exchange earlier without lifting a finger showed just how out of sorts she was . That was why I didn’t want to burden her even more than she already was . She was the guild leader of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, and it was her duty to treat her subordinates with respect . If she hired the Ego workshop only to ditch them like dirt because of us, the fallout was sure to impede the growth of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls .
I won’t deny that I felt wronged, but I was no longer a child either . I could no longer act as I pleased without considering the consequences . The reputation and stability of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls were more important than me returning to my old guild immediately .
“What should we do now, boss?” Gui Guzi asked .
I thought for a moment before replying, “There’s no need to be hasty . Let’s focus on winning this compet.i.tion and founding our own guild . Once our strength is greater, we can return to Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls anytime we want to . I want the world to know that I, Lu Chen am not working to earn a living, but to fulfill my promise . I am a king, not a servant!”
Gui Guzi, Du Thirteen, Beiming Xue and Yamete turned red with excitement . They clenched their fists and echoed my words, “That’s right! We are kings, not servants! Even if we must return to Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, we will become the pivot that carries our guild to the top!”
The second match of the semifinals, Snowy Cathaya versus Peach Garden, was yet another must-watch . On one hand, Snowy Cathaya was a well-known powerhouse in Floating Ice City . On the other, Peach Garden was a new force that showed a lot of potential during the tournament .
The general information of the players on both sides was displayed on the screen .

Purple Marquis LV-62 Warrior
Clear Perfume LV-63 Archer
Shadow Chanel LV- 62 Mage
Scattered Rain LV-58 Priest

… . . .
Both sides were pretty much equal in terms of strength . In fact, Peach Garden had a slight advantage over Snowy Cathaya because their priest had yet to undergo the third cla.s.s promotion!
Everyone paid close attention to the stage as the countdown began . Out of everyone in Peach Garden, their third-promotion bard was the one who worried me the most . Bards were notoriously terrible during the early stages because they had poor Attack, poor Defense and poor healing abilities . Their key skills also had to be farmed from boss drops too . However, if a third-promotion bard managed to a.s.semble all of their skills, then they were absolutely a force to be reckoned with . Considering that Soft Nocturne had made it all the way to the semifinals, she must’ve had all of her third-promotion skills already . Right now, Peach Garden was undoubtedly Snowy Cathaya’s greatest obstacle .
Lin Yixin clearly thought the same thing as me because she charged the bard the moment the match began!
Soft Nocturne was a woman around 25 years old, and she reacted quickly to Lin Yixin’s a.s.sault . Retreating toward the back playing her dark green zither, she applied Divine Valor to her leader, Indigo Collar, before following up with Death Match . With a 20% buff to both his Attack and Defense, Indigo Collar’s strength was nothing like before!
Lin Yixin was an intelligent woman . The moment the situation changed, she adapted immediately and ordered, “Marquis, kill Indigo Collar!”
