Chapter 315: Xue Lu (2/2)

I asked, “Xu Yang, wasn’t Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls a Rank 3 guild since a while ago? When are you growing to Rank 4? Rank 3 guilds can only accommodate 2000 players, but Rank 4 guilds can accommodate 5000 players!”

Xu Yang smiled. “We’re almost there. I’ll call for a guild EXP grinding session tonight, and we should be able to become a Rank 4 guild then!”

“Mn, this is something we can’t skip on. Let’s try and make Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls the first guild to reach Rank 5 in Sky City. Ten thousand players. Now that is something worth bragging about!”

“Hahaha, true!”

While we were chatting, Du Thirteen was charging the enemy and cutting down their fighters one by one. Du Thirteen’s equipment was pretty good these days, and thanks to efforts of Xu Yang, Beauty Moonlight Stone, Beauty Moon Dew, Beauty Pure Love and other elite players, everyone who was a management-level player in Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls had at least 3 high-level Dark Gold–grade items to their name. After all, it would be shameful if they were one-shot the second they stepped out of the door.

“Someone kill that motherfucking Amazing Expert already!”

Li Le pointed his sword at Du Thirteen and shouted savagely, “Did you grow tired of life, you little fucker? The right to touch my former lovers is a right reserved for my brothers and no one else! I swear you’ll wish you were dead by the time I’m done with you! Kill him and annihilate Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls!”

Du Thirteen shouted right back furiously, “Fuck you! A trash like you don’t deserve Lulu at all! She must’ve been blind when she dated you back then!”

I was caught off-guard. Did Thirteen… actually fall for that Xue Lu?

Du Thirteen had never defended a woman in his life, not even his own girlfriend. It was because girls were like clothes to him, and his brothers, his arms and legs. That was why he would get into a brawl when with me, but never provoke another person over a woman. However, something has changed for Thirteen. More specifically, this Xue Lu had changed him. I never thought I would see the day he would get angry over a woman.

“Heh…”

A smile spread across my face as I rushed to Du Thirteen’s right. I struck the ground with my bloody sword and sent waves of thunder rippling across the ground, killing all the Flower Room players within its range. The War Crush instantly saved Du Thirteen from his predicament.

“The fuck are you smiling about, Lu Chen…” Du Thirteen shot me a glance.

I couldn’t stop myself. “Thirteen, did you fall in love with Xue Lu?”

Du Thirteen looked at his sword and hesitated. I even spotted a bit of redness in his cheeks.

I glared at him. “For fuck’s sake, don’t go red on me, it’s disgusting!”

“Fuck you too, man…”

Du Thirteen mock-glared at me before answering, “Yes, I like her, but as you know, she’s that kind of girl…”

I cut him off before he could say anything else. “Save your buts. If you like her, you like her, it’s that simple. Love doesn’t need a reason.”

“Yeah!”

Du Thirteen gave me a long look before saying, “Thanks for the support, brother. I don’t have any doubts anymore!”

“Heh!” I raised my sword horizontally and stared at the enemies in front of us. “Let’s talk again after this is over. Seriously, the entire guild got dragged into this mess because you fell in love with one girl. Even Chaos Moon and Xu Yang got killed in action. You can afford to lose levels, but they can’t, so you’d better remember to treat them to a meal after this!”

“Yeah, I promise!”

The enemy fighters tried to swarm us, and in response I raised my sword to the air and fired a Thousand Mirage Slash, the fan-shaped sword instantly deleting an entire group of players. I then pointed my sword at Li Le and laughed. “Come at us yourself if you dare, Li Le!”

Naturally, Li Le lacked the balls, equipment, level and even skill to fight me. All he did was barking out another order, “Close-range players, avoid engaging Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand! Long-range players, focus fire on him and kill him now!”

Flower Room’s fighters stopped charging, opting to stand in front of their mages and archers and protect them. At the same time, countless Devil Piercing Arrows and Ice Dragon Howls started raining from the sky. Goddamn, what a shameless man! Shame on you for using such a cowardly tactic, Li Le!

“Focus your healing on Lu Chen, priests!” He Yi ordered. My HP fluctuated erratically as my enemies tried to kill me, and my allied priests tried to keep me alive. Thankfully, my Defense was way better than Gui Guzi’s, so the chance that I might get one-shot by the enemy was much lower. Gui Guzi’s problem was that his Magic Resist was too low, so a couple Ice Dragon Howls were all it took to make him squeal.

The moment 15 seconds were up, I locked onto a magic knight and activated Charge without hesitation!

Whoosh!

The second I arrived in front of my target, I immediately raised my sword and dished out Thousand Mirage Slash! At the same time, I stomped the ground and used War Crush! I looked like a war god as bloody light and thunderous energy surrounded me. The moment my boots hit the ground, lightning immediately spread out and destroyed my enemies!

Rumble rumble!
