Chapter 357: Arctic Temple (1/2)

I drank a health potion immediately and grabbed the axe’s handle. I then stabbed Dominating Heaven Blade right through the chest with Desperate Gambit for 3247 damage before summoning nine sword auras to blow him up from inside out!

Thousand Mirage Slash!

The skill burst out of his chest like a hurricane and sent him flying across the air. When he hit the ground, he slid across the ice and left behind a long trail of blood!

Rustle rustle rustle...

By the time he finally came to a stop, Dominating Heaven Blade’s signs of life were already long gone. The Purple Thunder Battle Axe lay next to him like a gravestone.

I didn’t dare lower my guard though. While parrying Dominating Knight God and Dominating Warrior God’s attacks before firing Dragon Slaying Slash with my left arm, one-shotting a surprised Dominating Archer God before he could release his Precision Shot!

……

But my body suddenly turned cold as something hit my back three times in a row. It was none other than Little Piglet’s Ice Ray Flurry. I should’ve known that the cruelest killer always struck when you were at your laxest!

By the time I spun around to swing my sword at him, Little Piglet had zigzagged in front of me. Pressing his freezing broadsword against my Obsidian Dragonscale Armor and watching me with a pleased expression, he smiled. “Die, Lu Chen!”

Ice Breaking Slash!

Boom!

An unbelievable chill exploded across my chest for an incredible amount of damage, but that wasn’t even the worst of it. At the distance, the archers loosed their bowstrings at the perfect timing and hit my chest armor with a volley of Devil Piercing Arrows. The skill didn’t actually do too much damage to me, but the knockback was powerful enough to knock me over the cliff! When I checked my health bar, I saw that I only had over 100 HP left. Shit, there’s no way I’m going to survive this fall!

My heart sank into despair in that instant. After grinding for the entire day, I was 2% away from hitting Level 100. I could never imagine that everything would fall apart at the last possible moment. Fuck, Dominating Heaven Blade and Little Piglet sure know how to pick a time, and let’s not forget that Warsky is the real reason I’m in this pickle!

I started falling when I saw Lin Yixin running across the snow and killing seven or eight cloth-armor players with a beautifully-aimed Ice Flame Slash. As if sensing my downfall, she suddenly turned around and met my eyes with a look of confusion. That confusion immediately turned into fury the next moment.

Swhoosh!

The wind started whipping against my ears. I was officially falling down a cliff!

No, I cannot give up! If even I gave up then my death is all but certain!

The moment I thought of this, I immediately flipped open my bag and took out a bunch of Snow Rabbit Meat. Then, I faced toward the horizon and tossed them like crazy!

Swhoosh!

The momentum of the thrown meat was just enough to make the physics engine of the game slowly push me toward the cliff face. Here’s my chance!

I pulled out the Purgatory Sword and plunged it into the ice!

Shiing!

Bits of ice flew everywhere as the Purgatory Sword carved a line across the cliff face. However, the incredible stopping force also slowed me down drastically until I finally came to a stop. I spared a moment to look up while I was hanging from the cliff face, but the view above me was mostly blocked by the wind and snow.

Holy shit, I actually survived the fall. All is well!

Having survived a near death experience, I excitedly checked my bag and took out a Level 95 Silver-grade dagger. It was a top-tier weapon that added 4% to Agility!

Crack!

I plunged the dagger into the ice and pulled out the Purgatory Sword. Then, I plunged the Purgatory Sword into the ice above me and pulled myself upward. Just like that, I was climbing up the cliff face at a reasonably quick pace. As it turned out, I was a lot stronger than the climbers in real life thanks to my amazing Strength, and the strenuous task felt almost as effortless as walking to me.

Every once in a while, I looked up to see if I was close to reaching the surface. I couldn’t help but feel a small thrill inside me. I am back, hehehe! I wonder how I should reveal this pleasant surprise to Little Piglet, Pillar of the Nation and Dominating Knight God?

Unfortunately, my ambitions were squashed when a silver figure suddenly appeared above my head before falling rapidly!

“What? What is that??”

I yelped in surprise as an exquisite countenance approached closer and closer. Wait a second, this girl looks really familiar for some reason...

“Wah!”

Lin Yixin looked shocked to see me as well. Holy shit, who’s the ballsy bastard who threw our Fruit Knife Goddess off the cliff?

Bang!

There was no escaping fate. The powerful impact knocked both my weapons out of the wall, and this time both of us were falling to our deaths. Whining in fear, Lin Yixin hugged my neck and absolutely refused to look at the ground below us.

My heart turned into ice in that instant. “Are you fucking kidding me?!”

……

Both wind and snow lashed at my head as pain and cold seared my senses. It wouldn’t be long before we hit rock bottom, both literally and figuratively. Putting away my weapons and wrapping my own arms around Lin Yixin’s excellent waist, I asked softly beside her ear, “What happened up there, Yiyi? How did you survive for almost five minutes?”

Lin Yixin let out another whine before replying, “Someone showed up and tried to help me…”

“Someone? Who was it? Who could possibly stall that many people long enough for you to survive five minutes?”

“It’s Legendary Brave…”

“Ah? It’s him?” I mulled for a moment. “Does that mean he’s gone now?”

“Mn!”

I could feel Lin Yixin shivering as she hugged me. She said next to my ears, “Legendary Brave is incredibly powerful. Not only did he manage to protect me for a time, he took out Little Piglet and Dominating Mage God in the process. Unfortunately, he was ultimately shot to death…”

“He killed Little Piglet?”

I was stunned. I could personally attest that Little Piglet was a powerful opponent, but Legendary Brave still managed to kill him despite being completely outnumbered. This meant that he was even stronger than Little Piglet. Fuck, I should’ve known that the Dragon Warrior couldn’t be measured by common sense. This feat alone qualified him to become a commander in Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls!
