Chapter 669 (2/2)

I made a swift decision and sent the Armored Ice Qilin Horse back to the mount s.p.a.ce. After that, I darted toward the metal chains on the bridge and used them as a springboard to power my leap into the air. My leap turned into a spin, forcing Candlelight Shadow's consecutive attacks to miss me. As I spun over his head, I locked onto my target and swept my sword down. Burning Blade Slas.h.!.+ Hehe, I prepared these killer moves just for you!

”What the h.e.l.l?!”

I shocked Candlelight Shadow but he reacted quickly to the incoming attack. Retreating swiftly, he held up his sword and parried the first Burning Blade Slash attack with a loud clang. He quickly raised his arm in a perfect defensive position to block the other two blows.

Two loud bangs rang out as raging flames of the Burning Blade Slash scorched his skin.

4290!

8901!

Candlelight Shadow took a few steps back with a stupefied look on his face. He definitely had not expected me to do battle without my mount.

Candlelight Shadow and Blue Sky Scar were elite players with excellent mechanical skills. Even though the mount made me extremely powerful, my range of movements was extremely limited. I couldn't even execute 50% of my mechanical skill while riding a mount. In PvP against experts, mechanical skills were just as important as the user's stats. Otherwise, one would not be able to even hit their opponent. In conclusion, it was far wiser for me to fight formidable opponents such as Candlelight Shadow and Blue Sky Scar on foot.

Burning Blade Slash managed to force Candlelight Shadow back, but at this exact moment, Blue Sky Scar suddenly started to charge at me!

Clang!

Blue Sky Scar's spear jerked back with a loud bang. I heaved a sigh of relief when I saw Gui Guzi standing before me, blocking the blow meant for me. Raging flames surrounded his Rainbow spear as he turned his head over his shoulder and gave me a small smile. ”Boss Broken Halberd, leave Blue Sky Scar to me! Go and cut the iron ropes at once so the others can enter the city. We have less than 10000 men so we can't prolong the battle, otherwise we'll all die!”

”Alright!”

I shot him a grateful look and continued hacking at the iron ropes. Given my current Attack stat, I could shave off 5% of its durability with every slice of my sword. This meant that the rope would be fully cut in about 30 seconds. Three months ago, Gui Guzi wouldn't have been Blue Sky Scar's match. However, things were different now.

He had been killed by Lin Yixin and I countless times and had also partic.i.p.ated in many fights. The current Gui Guzi had trained much and his mechanical skills and battle tactics had improved greatly. He is definitely capable of holding his ground against Blue Sky Scar.

……

Clang! Clang! Clang!

I brought my Cyan Netherworld Sword down heavily on the iron ropes, creating sparks as metal clashed against metal. I gritted my teeth in pain as I was instantly enveloped with volleys of arrows and spells from the enemy's archers and mages. Without the Armored Ice Qilin Horse, my HP, Defense, and Magic Resist were significantly lowered. It was so much harder to withstand the attacks of the enemy with such stats.

If one voluntarily canceled the mounted state, the mount could be resummoned in just two minutes. However, if one was forced off their mount because its tenacity was reduced to zero, they would need to wait at least five minutes before being able to resummon their mount.

Right at this exact moment, Heaven's Rain led a group of Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen to defend me. She activated Knight General and started to wreak havoc among the group of archers and mages. ”How dare you bully big brother Lu Chen! I'll kill you!” Heaven's Rain shouted while slas.h.i.+ng at our enemies.

I chuckled at her protectiveness before continuing to hack away at the iron ropes.

Clang!

The Cyan Netherworld Sword managed to cut through the thick iron ropes at last. Without the thick iron ropes holding the drawbridge upright, it collapsed onto the ground with a loud boom!

Boom!

Clouds of dust flew up as the drawbridge collapsed, creating a path across the moat!

Li Chengfeng, Chaos Moon, and Xu Yang gripped their swords and charged across. They had been waiting outside the city for so long and were finally able to quench their thirst for battle. Their eyes glinted with bloodl.u.s.t, slas.h.i.+ng at anyone in their path as they poured into the city. The map was soon flooded with the red emblems of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, blotting out the blue emblems of Candle Dragon. Candle Dragon had lost to the Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls once again!

……

Candlelight Shadow turned red with anger as his blood boiled at the battle situation. Making a swift decision, he turned to shout, ”Comrades! Retreat and defend the main hall! We still have two more hours! We must fortify our line of defense and guard the main hall. Victory will be ours in just two hours!”

At Candlelight Shadow's command, players of Candle Dragon retreated swiftly like the tide, unwilling to go head to head with us anymore.

Li Chengfeng, Chaos Moon, Gui Guzi, Beiming Xue, and the other Famous Generals were just too powerful. Candle Dragon would surely be wiped out if the battle continued at this rate. How the tables have turned! Candle Dragon was always the one to wreak havoc on others but today, they were on the receiving end of it. Many of the Candle Dragon players were shocked by the turn of events and could not accept this reality.

……

The two-minute cooldown was up and I resummoned my Armored Ice Qilin Horse. I smiled in delight when power surged through me as I mounted the horse. Yes! I'm invincible again!

I raised my sword and gave the mount a light smack on its a.s.s. Charging to the front of the troops, I pointed my sword at the main hall in the distance and shouted, ”Brothers and sisters, victory is right before us! Attack!”

Excitement coursed through their veins as Gui Guzi, Li Chengfeng, Xu Yang, and the rest responded with a loud battlecry. Charging forward without hesitation, they swiftly led their troops toward the main hall.

But before we could get much further, countless arrows were shot out of a small forest by the roadside. They enveloped a whole group of players, piercing through armor and fles.h.!.+ Almost a hundred archers and mages were one-shot as they collapsed to the ground with pitiful cries.

”Who is it? Show yourselves!” Li Chengfeng roared in anger.

A group of enemies slowly revealed themselves as they walked out from the forest. Their leader looked extremely impressive as he emerged dressed in black armor, with a white cape flowing behind him. Gripping his sword in one hand, he looked straight at us with a smile and greeted, ”h.e.l.lo old friends, we meet once again!'

Li Chengfeng gritted his teeth in anger and he growled each syllable in a low voice.

”Little Piglet!”
