Chapter 195: Settling Scores (1/2)

Coming to a stop, Dominating Heaven Blade checked the surroundings and found a bunch of tauren corpses on the ground. He swore coldly, “Fuck! Why aren’t they here? Was the intel bad after all?”

Dominating Warrior God shook his head. “Impossible. They wouldn’t run unless they knew we were coming! But that doesn’t make sense either. Our assassin had been tailing them from beyond their field of view, so how could they possibly know that we’re coming?”

Clang!

Dominating Heaven Blade pulled out his blade and split a nearby rock into two. He declared angrily, “Listen up! Snowy Cathaya took Moonlight Forest from us, and they’re not getting away with the slight for free! Keep your guard up and search the area! Wind Fantasy and her goons must still be around here somewhere!”

Dominating Warrior God nodded in response. “Boss, are you sure you want to officially declare war against Snowy Cathaya?”

Dominating Heaven Blade replied with eyes that were overflowing with killing intent. “Hmph! Snowy Cathaya’s the one who took Moonlight Forest from us first, so we’re only returning the ‘favor’. Starting today, Snowy Cathaya is the enemy of Gods of Destruction! Only one of us will be left standing in the end!”

The corners of Dominating Warrior God’s mouth turned upward. “In that case, can I make a request, boss?”

A sneer spread across Dominating Heaven Blade’s face. “You want Wind Fantasy? Hmph, I heard that she’s currently living in Suzhou. Once Snowy Cathaya is destroyed, feel free to seek her out there. Of course, it’s up to you whether you can get her or not.”

Dominating Warrior God’s smile grew even more vulgar than it already was.

……

Inside the forest, Lin Yixin gripped her sword tightly and glared at our enemies like she could burn them alive with her gaze. “Dominating Heaven Blade! Dominating Warrior God! If there’s one thing they’re right about, it’s that only one of us will be left standing in the end! The bastard wants to look for me in Suzhou? Let him try! Someone will be carrying him out on a stretcher when I’m done with him!”

I stared at her. “Just to be sure, but how are you going to deal with him exactly? The violent way or the non-violent way?”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, I wouldn’t want you to ‘suck’ the life out of him, if you get what I mean…”

“OMG! You’re making fun of me at a time like this?”

Lin Yixin glared at me for a moment before sighing. “Anyway, what should we do next?”

My eyes turned serious as I shot the party a question. “How many people know that you’re leveling here?”

Clear Perfume answered, “We spoke about it one time in the guild channel.”

I sucked in a deep breath and declared, “Well, it’s confirmed then. Snowy Cathaya has been infiltrated by enemy spies!”

Shadow Chanel exclaimed in shock, “But… but how can that be?”

I nodded. “Yeah. What are you planning to do, Yiyi? Do you want to root out the spies?”

“No, leave them. I have a use for them when the time is right.” Lin Yixin faced toward the Gods of Destruction team again and said, “Right now, they are our biggest, most immediate problem. How do you suggest we take them out?”

I replied, “We jump out of our hiding spot and kill them, duh…”

“...”

Lin Yixin rolled her eyes at me. “I know you’re strong, but what do you think your chances of winning are if you have to fight against Dominating Heaven Blade, Dominating Knight God, Dominating Arrow God, Dominating Mage God and Dominating Warrior God alone?”

I ran the thought in my head before answering, “0%...”

“Good to know that your self-awareness is still working properly…”

Lin Yixin gave me an exasperated smile before saying, “I’ll ask around in the guild and check if I can mobilize the closest forces we have!”

“Mn.”

……

A few minutes later, Lin Yixin’s beautiful face slowly turned chilly. “Fuck… the leveling squad closest to us is at Wild Boar Forest. That’s at least an entire hour away from here!”

I couldn’t help but smile. “I guess there’s no way we’re beating them then. You won’t blame me if I tell Dominating Heaven Blade I’m just a cheerleader, will you? Maybe he’ll overlook me and let me live…”

Lin Yixin gritted her teeth and swung her fist threateningly at me. “And you call yourself a friend?”

“We still have time to teleport back to the city.”

“Ugh…”

Lin Yixin hesitated for a moment before glancing at Gods of Destruction and the commander’s camp. The boss was right there. They were one step away from claiming the quest reward. She just couldn’t find it in herself to give up after coming this far.

“No, Snowy Cathaya and Gods of Destruction are eternal enemies…” Lin Yixin declared and glared angrily at Gods of Destruction.

I smiled. “Very good. If you don’t clash against one another, there won’t be a conflict for Bloody Mercenaries to profit from…”

“Despicable…”

Lin Yixin rolled her eyes at me again before saying, “Anyway, can you cut the bullcrap already and tell us what to do? Dominating Heaven Blade only brought 30 players with him. They’re all elites, but their low player count is still something we can exploit!”

I hid a chuckle before lowering my voice. “Excluding you and me, Qingqing and Shadow Chanel are the only ones in our party who can deal some damage. You know that, right?”

“Uuuu…”

Completely out of ideas, Lin Yixin got so anxious that she was stomping her feet. However, she couldn’t come up with any usable plan at all. It was so funny that I rubbed my palms together and chuckled.

Lin Yixin stared at me. “You’re laughing at a time like this? Wait, does that mean you have a plan?”
