Chapter 356: Cyan Tiger Fury (1/2)
My eyes turned steely as I thought to myself: Didn’t the Purple Thunder Battle Axe go to Pillar of the Nation? So why was it in Dominating Heaven Blade’s hands now? How could he gift a super weapon that cost him 2.5 million to obtain to another person just like that? Or maybe he dropped it after Dominating Heaven Blade killed him?
……
I pointed my sword at Pillar of the Nation. “How generous of you to gift the Purple Thunder Battle Axe to someone else.”
Pillar of the Nation laughed. “If I could buy a friend and an ally who will give their life to protect me for an axe, why wouldn’t I do that?”
I hid my gaze. Gods of Destruction had joined forces with Hegemon Palace!
Dominating Heaven Blade was an outstanding Chinese expert. Although he wasn’t able to enter the CGL Hall of Fame, he was still a noteworthy opponent with first-rate skills and the guild leader of Gods of Destruction. Now that the 2-star Outstanding Dark Gold–grade Purple Thunder Battle Axe had fallen into his hands, his Attack was probably not too far behind mine. A single weapon made him a lot scarier than before!
Right now, Dominating Heaven Blade and Pillar of the Nation were standing shoulder-to-shoulder like long lost brothers. Li Le’s stance was pretty clear as well; he would cooperate with Hegemon Palace and Gods of Destruction temporarily to eliminate me. As for Lin Yixin, well, he still hadn’t given up on her after all this time, so of course he wasn’t going to hurt her.
……
I slowly backed away as the Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf crouched next to me and bared its teeth, growling. It looked rather sinister since every cyan hair on its body was standing at its end. When the little wolf was calm it looked cute and gentle, but when it was in battle mode it was a goddamn monster through and through!
Inside the party channel, Lin Yixin asked, “What should we do? There’s nowhere to escape to…”
I turned around. The cliff edge was just a few steps behind us, and it looked just as bottomless as before. So this is the legendary dead end, eh? I didn’t think Lin Yixin and I would ever have such a day.
Dominating Heaven Blade stared at me coldly while laughing. “Lu Chen, after everything we’ve been through at Venomous Wasp Forest, Ancient Thunder Temple, War Holy Temple, and so on, I wouldn’t be wrong to call us long-time acquaintances, would I? I must admit that your gaming skill and tactics are truly extraordinary, but that isn’t going to help you nor Beauty Wind Fantasy this time!”
I gritted my teeth, but there was nothing I could do. He was right. Not only were Lin Yixin and I completely outnumbered, they were all first-rate experts, not to mention that Little Piglet was still around. We were powerful, but there was almost no chance we were breaking out of this encirclement.
Lin Yixin nodded and replied, “Be careful.”
“Mn.”
Not far away, Dominating Heaven Blade swung his war axe and growled, “It is time, men of Gods of Destruction! Seal all the exits and be ready to kill Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand where he stands! I refuse to believe he’s invincible, hmph! If we cannot kill him today, then I, Dominating Heaven Blade, swear to withdraw from the power struggle for Sky City!”
Dominating Warrior God, Dominating Knight God, Dominating Mage God, Dominating Arrow God, and the rest of Gods of Destruction stepped out in unison. From the looks on their faces, you would think that they were planning to eat us alive.
Pillar of the Nation smiled before looking at Li Le. “Young Master Le? Didn’t Lu Chen beat up your brother, Life of Luxury, and gave him hemiplegia? I’ll leave the first charge to you then, hehe. You wouldn’t want to disappoint your brother, would you?”
Li Le’s eyes turned apprehensive. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, he ultimately turned around to face his players before ordering, “Spring Mud, Moon Shadow, Night Sorrow, lead our brothers and kill Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand! We will take revenge for Life of Luxury and get back the face you lost all in one go!”
“Okay!”
Flower Room players started charging us as well with Spring Mud—now a Level 92 player—at the lead. These people must’ve spent a ton of time and effort grinding their levels because every one of them was at least 3 to 7 levels higher than the last time I saw them. It wasn’t surprising though. The resources and mobs of Sky City were a lot richer than Floating Ice City’s.
It was at this moment Lin Yixin gave me a sweet smile and said, “This guy’s a traitor of your guild, right Lu Chen? Should I stay out of this and leave him to you?”
“Yeah, no problem!”
I pulled out my sword and charged. I was fairly confident that I could solo the experts of Flower Room at least!
The Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf also let out a mad howl and buffed itself with Greedy Wolf Howl before charging toward Moon Shadow with insane speed. One exchange was all it took to tear him apart Moon Shadow and kill him instantly!
Meanwhile, I was clashing against Spring Mud. I swung my Purgatory Sword at his broadsword with everything I got!
Clang!
The powerful blow knocked Spring Mud several steps back, and before he could recover I closed the distance between us and slashed him across the chest three times in a row! Pardon + basic attack + Desperate Gambit!
MISS!
5498!
3457!
There was less than 0.2 seconds of interval between the second and third strike, so there was no chance his priest could heal him in time. Spring Mud himself looked shocked, angry and in disbelief because he never thought that he would die before he could even hit me once. In fact, the three heads of Ego Workshop had become weaker after they joined Flower Room.
My wolf was on a rampage itself. Like a bolt of cyan lightning, it zigzagged amid the crowd and ravaged the bodies, tearing apart enemy’s armor with its sharp claws and shredded their throat with poisonous fangs like a literal god of murder. My pet was Level 99 right now, not to mention that it had almost 20k HP and an insane Defense!
Li Le couldn’t hide his shock. “Archers, delete that wolf from my sight now!”
