Chapter 642 (2/2)
Putting one foot on the saddle, I hoisted myself over the horse and mounted it. Instantly, energy surged through my entire body, filling me with power. My stats had increased tremendously thanks to the Armored Ice Qilin Horse.

……
Such powerful stats! 50000 base HP! If I were to use a Roland Bloodknight Card to increase my HP by another 40%, I would have a total HP of 70000! What an insane number! Moreover, I get to enjoy a hidden attribute of an additional 40% increase in Defense and Attack.
My attributes with and without the Armored Ice Qilin Horse are as different as night and day! If I get buffed by both a Famous General Skill and Physique, my max HP will exceed 100000! How powerful and domineering will I be when that happens?!
The most important thing was that my attack power, attack speed, and movement speed had been greatly increased as well, and it was to an extent that I wouldn't imagine in my wildest dreams!
I eyed the bunch of players before me with inward glee. I'll test out my skills on two thousand players from G.o.d's Mercenaries. How dare they even think of touching the Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' eighth subguild! Yup, you'll do just nicely! I'll use you guys for fodder first!
Beiming Xue chuckled behind me and said, ”Go on, big bro! I don't think you need anyone's help now do you?”
She was absolutely right, there were no experts among this group of players before me. If there were a few experts like Farewell Song, Little Piglet, and Lin Bing Dou Zhe hidden within, I would surely be in mortal danger. But with my new Armored Ice Qilin Horse, these guys were but puny insects waiting to be swatted.
”Attack!”
I raised my Cyan Netherworld sword and charged forward without any hesitation, the Phantom Wolf King following right behind me. I had no intentions of retreating whatsoever as I swung the Cyan Netherworld Sword and unleashed a crescent of bone-piercing sword energy into a crowd of players. The energy exploded heavily among the enemies and tore through armor and flesh. The entire crowd of players collapsed, leaving a pool of blood on the ground.
An icy aura surrounded the Armored Ice Qilin Horse and vapor could be seen every time it exhaled. Neighing furiously, it charged left and right, trampling on the G.o.d's Mercenaries guild and their dreams of emerging victorious.
A few yards away, the Phantom Wolf King howled and brandished its claws. With three consecutive strikes, it activated Claw of the Storm and unleashed havoc within a group of players. Forget about me, just the Phantom Wolf King alone was enough to give them a painful headache.
”Shoot him dead! Hurry up, use your Devil Piercing Arrows to kill him! Devil Piercing Arrow ignores 50% of the target's Defense! We'll be able to kill him if the archers all use it on him at once!” The vice leader, a Level 132 mage waved his staff and shouted orders over the group of people. It was clear that he had been scared out of his wits.
Thud thud thud…
Arrows started to fall on the Armored Ice Qilin Horse like heavy rain but they did not pierce through the mount's armor. Instead they simply bounced off and did not deal much damage. Even the Devil Piercing Arrow could not pierce through its defenses, dealing only double digit damage to us. With my insane Defense and Attack stats, it seemed as if I was mocking them.
I swung my blade and it trembled as I activated a Burning Blade Slash that exploded into a group of magic knights. Lifting my Cyan Netherworld Sword, I turned to face the vice leader and gave him a ranged Dragon Slaying Slas.h.!.+
Bang!
Dragon Slaying Slash penetrated through the enemy's Magic s.h.i.+eld successfully! Before the enemy could even condense a second Magic s.h.i.+eld, I activated Sword Boomerang and hurled the Cyan Netherworld Sword right at him!
Swhoos.h.!.+
The blade was sent spinning through the crowd, wrecking havoc like a tornado in its wake. The Cyan Netherworld Sword carved a straight line through the crowd of players as everyone in its way had been one-shot and collapsed to the ground. The vice leader of G.o.d's Mercenaries was one of them and he died without even putting up a fight.
Smack!
The Cyan Netherworld Sword returned to my hand and I urged the mount forward. The Armored Ice Qilin Horse let out a resounding neigh before charging forward once again. The Cyan Netherworld Sword glowed brilliantly as I continued swinging my sword left and right, cutting down anyone unfortunate to be in its path.Meanwhile, the numbers in my quest window continued to increase steadily.
……
G.o.d's Mercenaries were completely struck dumb by the scene before them. They were a group of nearly 3000 players, and yet, not one of them could stop me. Even without a priest, my health continued to remain above 70% no matter how many came at me. All I did was rely on the Cyan Netherworld Sword's 10% lifesteal to gain back any health lost.
I looked at the numbers on my quest screen and saw that I had nearly killed 500 people in less than ten minutes. I'm almost done with the quest!
A large group of players started to appear behind me as I turned my head to glance at them. Xu Yang, High Fighting Spirits, and the rest had just arrived to aid me. However, they all halted in their tracks with widened eyes as they looked at the battle situation.
Xu Yang shouted, ”What the heck! Our boy Lu Chen already has a mount! And it looks… like a really powerful one too!”
High Fighting Spirits rolled his eyes and said, ”What the f.u.c.k. If Lu Chen was wearing silver armor and a white cape, I would've thought he was Zhao Yun! Soloing so many at once and killing anything in his path without any thread of fear in him whatsoever. This isn't PvP, he's just killing noobs…”
Chaos Moon sighed deeply and said, ”Lu Chen is too horrible. The highest-leveled player of this bunch is just Level 130, and he has c.r.a.ppy equipment too. On the other hand, Lu Chen even got himself a mount. It would be strange if he wasn't 'killing noobs'…”
Xu Yang's lips curled up into a grin and asked, ”So, should we go help him?”
Chaos Moon shrugged her shoulders and said, ”We'll see how things go.”
……
Once I had reached my kill quota, I stayed my hand and charged out of the crowd. Stopping in front of Xu Yang, Chaos Moon, and High Fighting Spirits, I pointed behind me and said, ”I'm leaving these guys to you. I have to go turn in my sixth cla.s.s promotion quest now!”
Xu Yang rolled his eyes and said exasperatedly, ”f.u.c.k! What's the meaning of this? Giving us your hand-me-downs once you're sick of playing with them…”
Before he could finish his sentence, a ball of flame flew toward him and landed right smack on his face. The ball of flame left a round patch of soot on Xu Yang's face and smoke could be seen coming out of his ears. He growled in anger and gripped his sword before charging right into the crowd.
I chuckled involuntarily at his predicament. Alright, it's time for me to turn in my quest. I'll just get there on my new mount! There is no limit to the strength of the Armored Ice Qilin Horse's legs after all. I'll be there in fifteen minutes tops!
1. Zhao Yun was a general of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period. He was famous for being one of the Five Tiger Generals of Shu, and his biggest fear.
