Chapter 206: Dog Eat Dog (2/2)
857!
Just like that, Tempest Shadow was dead before he even had a chance to drink his health potion!
I watched Tempest Shadow calmly as he slowly collapsed to the ground. With his death, three out of four of Candlelight Shadow’s War Gods had been killed. Hmph hmph, the legendary “Martial God” must be dreaming when he thought that he could rob Floating Ice City’s fortune for himself!
……
Swhoosh!
+889!
Meanwhile, Murong Mingyue finally reached me and restored more than half of my HP. Thank the heavens! I guess I’m not going to die in this dastard spirit hall after all.
However, the crisis wasn’t over yet. A Tiger Head Hornet suddenly appeared out of nowhere and attacked Murong Mingyue four times in a row! It was the Flurry skill!
Thud thud thud thud!
Although the Tiger Head Hornet failed to do any damage, the attack popped Murong Mingyue’s priest shield!
“Hah!” Dominating Heaven Blade shouted and swung his sword at Murong Mingyue. In the end, the vicious leader of Gods of Destruction had revealed his true nature and tried to assassinate our only priest.
“Sis!”
I rushed toward Mingyue without any regard for myself, but I could do nothing but watch as the blade entered her body!
1293!
A huge damage number popped above his head, but what happened next completely caught me off-guard. Somehow, Murong Mingyue wasn’t dead despite taking that amount of damage, and with a sliver of health left she was able to retreat just in time and pull herself back to 700 HP!
WTF? How did a priest manage to survive a direct attack from Dominating Heaven Blade?
Despite my surprise, I decided that the why could come later. I swung my sword and unleashed Thousand Mirage Slash!
Boom!
A rain of aura blades enveloped both Dominating Heaven Blade and his pet. The Tiger Head Hornet screeched and died instantly, and the guild leader himself had lost over 1200 HP. He retreated non-stop even though his eyes were burning with anger.
I grabbed Murong Mingyue’s hand and put myself in front of her. Then, I pointed my sword at Dominating Heaven Blade and sneered at him. “Is this what you call a ‘cooperation’? A person can only sink so low, especially when you’re the guild leader of Gods of Destruction, Dominating Heaven Blade. How are you not ashamed of yourself?”
Dominating Heaven Blade simply sneered back and chugged a health potion to heal himself. While retreating, he said, “You are the victor of this fight, so I’ll leave this Devil Spirit Hall to you!”
After that, he retreated out of sight and actually ran all the way back to the first floor.
……
I frowned. To be honest, I couldn’t rest easy until Dominating Heaven Blade was well and truly dead!
“Hey, have you seen Beauty Lin?” Murong Mingyue asked me suddenly.
I shook my head and replied, “I don’t know…”
I called out to Lin Yixin inside the party channel. “Hey Yiyi, how’s the situation? Did you kill Transient Smoke and Clouds yet?”
“He kited me to death…” Lin Yixin said sadly.
Shocked, I immediately pulled out my sword again and shouted, “Fuck! How dare that bastard kill our Yiyi! What are his coordinates? Let see how much that so-called divine archer really weighs!”
“Hehe. Am I that important to you?”
A voice suddenly reached us from the distance, prompting Murong Mingyue and I to turn around. It was Lin Yixin holding the Moonlight Sword and walking leisurely toward us. As usual, her body was downright amazing, and the way her snow-colored cape fluttered behind her back only accentuated her beauty even more.
I exclaimed in pleasant surprise, “You’re alive? That’s great. Where’s Transient Smoke and Clouds? Did you kill him after all?”
But Lin Yixin shook her head and said, “No, he managed to escape. The mobs on this floor are pretty high-level, and his movement speed is pretty high. He managed to teleport back to the city before I caught him.”
I checked the map and saw that “Transient Smoke and Clouds” had turned gray. Right now, there were only four players left in the entire Devil Spirit Hall, namely the three of us and the lone representative of Gods of Destruction, Dominating Heaven Blade. I didn’t need a brain to know that the fucker was planning to ambush us while we were busy dealing with the boss!
“What should we do?” Lin Yixin asked.
I pondered for a moment before deciding, “Let’s head to the ninth floor, kill the boss and grab the Divine Martial Token first!”
“But what about Dominating Heaven Blade?” Lin Yixin pursed her lips worriedly. “It’ll be annoying if he causes trouble while we’re busy engaging the boss.”
I smiled confidently. “Don’t worry, I have a plan!”
“Oh?” Lin Yixin smiled at me before nodding. “Alright, if you say so. Let’s go!”
……
Just like before, the three of us circled around the mobs and went all the way down to the eighth floor. It was at the center of the map where we found the entrance to the ninth floor.
I walked down the stairs with Lin Yixin and Murong Mingyue behind me. When we reached the bottom, I shouted.
“Wait, don’t go just yet!”
I pointed at the area around the entrance and said, “Yiyi, follow me. You and I are going to run back and forth around this area. Don’t stop until I tell you to.”
“Ah?” Lin Yixin sounded confused. “But why?”
“We’re going to lure Dominating Heaven Blade over and kill him here!”
