Chapter 1041: Intelligent People (1/2)
”Do we kill Dark Clouds Sorrow?” Li Chengfeng asked me from far away.
I nodded strongly. ”Of course!”
”How should we do it?” Lin Yixin asked from a different corner of the battlefield.
I said with a smile, ”I’ll sneak up on him from behind while you guys corner him from the front!”
”Didn’t know you knew how to sneak up on someone…”
……
She wasn’t entirely wrong. Ever since I completed my sixth-promotion quest, the number of times I ambushed someone could be counted on one hand. For one, I was a bright and honorable warrior who fought gloriously at the frontlines, so such skulduggery was beneath me. Two, I hadn’t needed it in a long time since I was confident that I could beat even a top-tier expert like Candlelight Shadow in a head-to-head battle.
However, Dark Clouds Sorrow wasn’t as skilled a fighter as Candlelight Shadow, but he was many times more strategic-minded than the latter. Since the beginning of this war, the guild leader had avoided direct contact with China’s best experts and focused on killing our second-rate experts only. Many people had fallen prey to him already, and even Heaven’s Rain had almost died by his hand. The fact that Dark Clouds Sorrow currently sat at the second place of Japan’s Nation War contribution point leaderboard was a testament to his murderous scheme.
”Here I go!”
Li Chengfeng charged straight toward Dark Clouds Sorrow after letting us know that he was going. When he got close, he zigzagged around Copper Spear and a couple more players who were guarding the guild leader before slamming three magic knights out of his way with a mighty swing. Finally, he thrust his Dark Blade toward Dark Clouds Sorrow’s chest and used Dragonbone Flurry!
”What?!”
Dark Clouds Sorrow was caught off-guard, but he was able to react in time. He made himself into a smaller target, Guarded the first and second hit of Dragonbone Flurry, and parried the last hit with a swing of his broadsword. After that, he thrust his palm toward Li Chengfeng and fired a close-range Trapping Net!
Li Chengfeng looked surprised, but his reaction was even swifter than Dark Clouds Sorrow’s. He grabbed his opponent’s arm, pulled, and jumped off his mount’s back like some sort of spirit ape, his legs drawing an arc across the air. He landed on the right side of the guild leader and successfully dodged the Trapping Net!
Whoosh!
Light erupted from Dark Clouds Sorrow’s sword as he plunged the weapon into the ground. A gigantic magic formation appeared out of nowhere, and Li Chengfeng and all the Chinese players near Dark Clouds Sorrow immediately took massive damage. It was Dark Clouds Sorrow’s Divine General Skill, Sky-reaching Formation. It had a long cooldown but great damage.
The skill killed almost all the China players around him, and even Li Chengfeng’s HP had dropped below the 35% mark. The dragon warrior hurriedly parried a blow from Dark Clouds Sorrow, let out a shout and used Dragonblade Revolution!
Dark Clouds Sorrow proved himself to be a great fighter by activating Holy Shield quickly and greatly reducing the damage taken from the signature skill of our dragon warrior. The swarm of Ivory Towers close to him also helped to dish out all the DPS he couldn’t do he was guarding. It was absolutely torturous to fight any Elephant City player with their point defense set up. The killing part was already difficult enough, but now we had to destroy towers too!
Ding ding ding...
Li Chengfeng backed away as a number of arrows plinked off his shoulder armor. He shouted, ”I”m done! I leave the rest to y’all!”
Ice Flame Slash had slammed onto Dark Clouds Sorrow’s shield and knocked him backward even before Li Chengfeng was finished shouting. The guild leader stared at Lin Yixin and exclaimed in shock, ”Beautiful Little Pepper?!”
The girl merely smiled and deleted another huge chunk of HP with God’s Tear.
”Protect the guild leader, protect the guild leader!”
A group of panicking Dark Clouds players ran toward Lin Yixin and blocked her way before she could continue to pursue Dark Clouds Sorrow. The guild leader himself was backing away and shouting to his priests, ”Feed me now, quickly!”
Rustle rustle…
I was sneaking toward Dark Clouds Sorrow from underground while all this was going on. The guild leader never noticed me until it was too late. Right before he was about to catch some healing, I dashed out of the ground and pierced his back with the Purple Ying Sword. The indigo cone surrounding the weapon was the visual effect of Universe Break of course!
142992!
He was a magic knight, but the attack still nearly emptied his health bar.
”You!?”
Dark Clouds Sorrow turned around in shock, but he knew better than to fight me under these circumstances. He brought his shield to bear, but too bad for him, I already knew what he was going to do and had planned for it accordingly.
Pa!
My Divine Martial War Boots left a deep footprint on the ground as I jumped, kneed his shield into the air—he was mounted, by the way—and opened up his guard completely. Then, grabbing the hilt of my sword with both hands, I growled, ”Die!”
Pu!
The blade sank into his chest, and three flaming auras burst out of his back and into the ground immediately. Three giant damage numbers rose above his head, and this time no amount of priest healing was enough to saving Dark Clouds Sorrow from being one-shot—
80838!
123987!
152672!
