Chapter 443 (1/2)

A war was inevitable. I gripped my sword and marched toward Lin Yixin because the simplest way to beat Snowy Cathaya was to defeat her. At the same time, I ordered, ”Beiming Xue, Li Chengfeng, work with me. If we beat Beauty Lin, then half of this territory war already might as well be won already! Gui Guzi, guard the entrance and make sure that no one else enters this guild hall!”
”Got it!”
……
The system dinged after the last Warsky Alliance player in the guild hall died—
Ding~!
System Announcement: All players, please be informed that Territory No.001 China is currently ownerless!
……
Very good, Warsky Alliance had officially been knocked out of the fight. Once we took out Snowy Cathaya as well, the territory would finally belong to us.
A fiery burst of flame suddenly caught my attention. Lin Yixin's Frozen Sword was wreathed in ice and fire, and she was swinging at both me and Li Chengfeng!
Guard!
I s.h.i.+vered and lost 1764 HP. Lin Yixin's Attack was so high that it was impossible to Guard against her skill completely!
”Watch out for Purple Marquis's Absolute Zero!”
I shouted a warning to the others before pouncing toward Lin Yixin. I successfully slashed her stomach with Pardon, but she was so fast that she moved out of the way before I could swing a second time. Moreover, she counterattacked immediately with an overhead swing that forced me to raise my arms into a block!
Clang!
The blade hit my wrist painfully. At the same time, the damage number 2134 appeared above my head. Lin Yixin's Attack was just too high right now!
Clearly, Lin Yixin had activated her Famous General Skill, Bombsh.e.l.l, and boosted her and her allies' stats by 50%. It was terrifying to say the least. Thankfully, He Yi's Royal Road was a counter that reduced the effects of Bombsh.e.l.l to only 105%.
Bad news quickly hit us, however—
Running at the edges, Purple Marquis abruptly swung his sword and summoned a bunch of magical runes. A bit of metal ringing entered everyone's ears. The next moment, he shouted, ”Insight!”
Swhoos.h.!.+
Combat Log: Player ”Purple Marquis” used ”Insight” on player ”From Water”. The skill is successful. The target's stratagem is sealed for 600 seconds!
……
s.h.i.+t, Royal Road was sealed by Purple Marquis's Insight!
I immediately added He Yi into my party and activated Martial G.o.d. There was no way we could fight a fully-boosted Lin Yixin otherwise!
Lin Yixin withdrew temporarily. Purple Marquis was also glaring at us with his sword raised before his chest.
”Loose!”
Bow G.o.d entered the limelight again as the archers loosed their arrows at the players of Snowy Cathaya. Lin Yixin, Purple Marquis and the other members of Snowy Cathaya activated Guard immediately and reduced the damage they took to 300 or so per hit. It wasn't much, but with enough damage acc.u.mulated there was nothing they couldn't kill!
However, they somehow survived even a second volley from our archers. The 50% boost to HP and Defense made them so tanky that even Bow G.o.d couldn't get the job done!
I exchanged a look with Li Chengfeng before ordering, ”Purple Marquis is Beauty Lin's arms and legs, so let's try and one-shot him immediately. I'll go first, and you secure the kill. Don't forget to watch out for Purple Marquis's Absolute Zero. High Fighting Spirits, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun, I want you to use your range attacks as well!”
”Okay!”
I was already charging toward Purple Marquis when they responded affirmatively to my order. I didn't slow down even though Purple Marquis and Lin Yixin were rus.h.i.+ng me at the same time. My trajectory suddenly changed, and I slipped past the Snowy Cathaya warrior who attempted to block me with a double-S path. It was the helix maneuver!
The next moment, I knocked away Purple Marquis's sword with my own and rammed Lin Yixin's shoulder with my right shoulder!
Bang!
1134!
Lin Yixin let out a cute whimper. It looked like she hadn't expected me to attack from this angle at all. Purple Marquis came at me again, so I kicked him beneath the armpit even before I could regain my balance!
Purple Marquis stumbled from the unexpected attack, but he wisely slashed at my waist and dealt 3187 damage.
Suddenly, I leaped toward him with the Heaven-stealing Sword wreathed in b.l.o.o.d.y light!
”s.h.i.+t!”
Purple Marquis knew what was coming, but he couldn't dodge out of the way. It was because my general, Li Chengfeng, had appeared behind him at the perfect moment and executed Dragonbone Flurry. Purple Marquis had no choice to Guard, meaning that he had to endure both my War Crush and Li Chengfeng's Dragonbone Flurry at once!
A column of damage numbers floated above his head. Despite his priests' efforts, Purple Marquis's HP still dropped all the way to the red. Just when he was going to die, the warrior swung his sword and used Absolute Zero!
Swhoosh swhoos.h.!.+
Both Li Chengfeng and I were frozen by the skill before we could escape, but Purple Marquis wasn't doing so hot either. High Fighting Spirits arrived just in time to launch a swirl of deadly energy at the enemy warrior. ”Xiezhi Howl!”
4983!
5021!
The skill should've been fatal, but the seven or eight enemy priests standing behind Li Chengfeng still managed to drag Purple Marquis back from the land of the dead.
