Chapter 1202: Xing Tian’s Defiance (1/2)
Whoosh!
Vanguard’s players were all hot-blooded males. They just galloped straight toward the battlefield at full power without bothering to conceal their tracks. Birds took off in fright to the commotion they caused.
I made my Phantom Wolf King and apparition charge together with Who Will Fight Me, before circling to the other side of the battlefield myself. My bottom line here was that the Chinese Ancient Divine Skill Scroll must fall into Chinese hands.
……
Suddenly, a brawny man burst out of the forest beside Vanguard and swung his battle axe, shouting, ”Chaotic 27 are all idiots!”
”Roar!”
The roar of a devastating beast rocked the earth, and a cyclone slammed into Who Will Fight Me’s flank and deleted over half of his HP. The newcomer was still roaring and swinging his axe when Who Will Fight Me parried two attacks before shouting in anger, ”Why are you attacking me, Chinese? I’m Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand’s friend! For fuck’s sake, does anyone recognize this idiot?”
”Huh? You’re the vice leader’s friend?” The axe wielder stopped what he was doing and asked the way only he could.
I felt like dying. It was High Fighting Spirit of course. I had no idea that he was here, and I definitely wasn’t expecting him to charge a platoon of players alone. His thirst for the world to descend into complete chaos so he could fight forever far outstripped his desire for safety after all!
Thankfully, Who Will Fight Me was a fairly smart guy. He pointed at the Phantom Wolf King and the apparition next to him before saying, ”See them? Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand just made an agreement with us to contest the boss's loot together! How are you so… undignified when you’re a member of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls?”
After seeing the apparition and finally realizing what was going on, High Fighting Spirits shot Who Will Fight Me an apologetic smile before saying, ”Ah, sorry, I misunderstood. Please, recover your HP now so we can continue the charge…”
”Hmph!”
Who Will Fight Me hurriedly drank a health potion and used War God Recovery. High Fighting Spirits had single-handedly disrupted the entire offensive. Thank goodness I had chosen to launch the assault when the boss still had 7% HP left, or I would’ve had to resort to drastic measures.
……
Half a minute later, the boss dropped to 4% HP, and Who Will Fight Me had regenerated to 70% HP. This time, we let High Fighting Spirits lead the way. He was the fearless one who always wanted to be in the thick of it anyway.
Pa!
The Dragonlight Armored Horse glowed with the light of Dragon Soul Protection. Its hoof glimmered sharply beneath the moonlight. An instant later, High Fighting Spirits burst out of the forest while swinging his axe.
Some distance away, Tear Stain shot High Fighting Spirits a look and almost froze at what she saw. ”Oh no, that’s one of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls’ main generals! Why is he together with Who Will Fight Me? And that other guy is… it’s Lu Chen in his Fusion Armor! It’s him! Everyone, watch out! Let go of the boss and prepare to face the enemy! We cannot fight this boss while Lu Chen is still around!”
Tear Stain didn’t hesitate. If they continued to fight the boss, there was a huge chance this whole thing would end in one big tragedy. Losing the boss and getting thoroughly wiped by the enemy was an entirely possible outcome.
……
Vanguard and High Fighting Spirits’ frontal assault was about as honest as it got. Xiezhi Howl ready to be unleashed at a moment’s notice, High Fighting Spirits focused on galloping into the enemy group while completely disregarding the arrows and spells they were throwing against him. In fact, he only had 40% HP left by the time he reached his destination. He attracted firepower like steel attracted a magnet. The good news was that the Dragonscale Beast and the Brave General Horseshoe had increased his Defense to the point where he could pull such a crazy stunt and actually survive. In the past, he would’ve died to the focus fire of the first-rate experts a long time ago.
”Kill!”
Who Will Fight Me slashed at an Elephant City’s magic knight three times from three different angles. He landed all three because he had caught his opponent completely off-guard. The magic knight was dead after he ate another two arrow shots from behind Who Will Fight Me.
Tear Stain’s counterattack was just as fierce, however. Her sword darted around like an actual snake, and she had a fondness of stabbing people through the throat. The amount of damage she dealt whenever she struck a weak point was frankly staggering. Three Vanguard players had died in her hands in less than 10 seconds.
As a chaotic battle unfolded across the wide clearing in the middle of the canyon, I finally emerged from my own hiding spot and charged straight toward the enemy’s rear. Tear Stain shouted in horror when she saw my Myriad Swords Obliteration raining down on her group, ”Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand is behind us! His real body is behind us! Watch out!”
Buzz!
A Throne of the Wild mage immediately cast Touch of the Dragonkiss beneath my feet. He dealt an incredible amount of 70k+ damage, considering that it was me that he was targeting. When I got closer, the mage cast God Devil Break!
210840!
What a crazy amount of damage! The mage’s Intelligence was over 5000 higher than mine. Two Vanguard magic knights who unfortunately had been standing by my side at the time took 400k damage in an instant and dropped dead just like that. A high-level, eighth promotion mage truly was the nightmare of all metal-armor players!
Who Will Fight Me exploded, ”Break his shield for me, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand!”
”Okay!”
I locked onto the high-level mage and cast Thousand Ice Slash, shattering his Magic Shield instantly. Then, Who Will Fight Me dashed past the mage and cast Ultimate Strength Break. Since his Blink was on cooldown, there was nothing he could do except wait for death to claim him—
390880!
It was a one-shot. Who Will Fight Me’s Strength was definitely more than serviceable.
……
At the back, Xing Tian was rocking the entire canyon with his angry roar and attacking Tear Stain’s subordinates with relentless rage. Their number dwindled to just six or seven in the blink of an eye.
”Retreat! We can’t hold it any longer!”
Red Ovenbird shouted.
I narrowed my eyes as I sensed an opportunity. I abruptly locked onto the space behind Red Ovenbird and cast Thunderous Charge!
Swhoosh!
