Chapter 430: Gui Guzi Showing Off (1/2)
Gui Guzi’s appearance sent waves of shock through the hearts of the players from Gods of Destruction. An assassin hefted his dagger, his complexion a sickly-green as he muttered under his breath, “Dammit, we already can’t handle one Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand, and now we also have to deal with the Undying Knight Gui Guzi? How the fuck are we supposed to win? Boss, let’s cut our losses…”
Dominating Heaven Blade was already thinking of retreating, but he still wasn’t satisfied with the outcome. He raised his sharp blade in the air and yelled, “Men, follow me and block Gui Guzi and Lu Chen. We only need thirty seconds! Knight God, don’t let anything distract you, just focus on taming that Armored Swordback Dragon! Dammit, even if our guild can’t get their hands on this mount, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls can forget about getting their grubby hands on it!”
My eyes were still as cold as chips of ice as I yelled, “Little Gui, go steal that mount, I’ll hold off everyone else!”
“Gotcha!”
……
Gui Guzi and I ran past each other. He rushed toward the Armored Swordback Dragon while I raised my blade and lunged for Dominating Knight God. As long as we killed him, Gods of Destruction would be out of magic knights and wanderers and Gui Guzi monopolizing that land dragon would be a foregone conclusion!
“Knight God, watch out!”
Dominating Heaven Blade shouted out a warning as he shot forward. Pebbles sprayed from under his feet as he zigzagged and cut in front of me. Violent flames burst out of his longsword before he swung it at me!
Clang!
I did not choose to parry the blow and allowed him to strike my chest. However, my Heaven-stealing Sword was already in motion as it fiercely struck his chest the same moment his sword touched mine. I activated Desperate Gambit!
Bang!
An explosion rang in the air as Dominating Heaven Blade was sent staggering back from the blast. Blood spurted out from his chest and his health bar dramatically dropped, though the priests behind him swiftly healed the damage. It looked like it would no longer be possible for me to kill him off instantly, but I had already achieved my goal.
There were two players on the enemy’s side who posed a huge threat to me. The first, Dominating Mage God, had been killed off by Gui Guzi while I had warded off the second, Dominating Heaven Blade. This also meant that there was no longer anyone who could stop me from killing Dominating Knight God!
Dominating Heaven Blade immediately realized that he couldn’t move to assist Dominating Knight God in time, so he yelled in a loud voice, “Attention, all priests! Focus all of your healing on Knight God! As for you two archers, I want you to focus Gui Guzi with Shock Arrows. It’s imperative that we don’t allow them to get away with this. All of your pets are to attack Gui Guzi too!”
Whoosh!
I charged Dominating Knight God, the Heaven-stealing Sword glowing with an ominous light. My intentions were all too obvious and Dominating Knight God’s face went pale when he saw me come for him. He had already been far inferior to me even when we were back at Floating Ice City, and now that I was fully decked out in good gear and had three Outstanding Spirit-grade items to boot, the difference between us was like heaven and earth!
Thud!
He began scrambling backward as he raised his shield up in front of him. He was actually preparing to use the Magic Knight skill, Holy Shield. This would greatly increase his Defense and Magic Resist, but a pure boost in Defense was not more important than its status as a true defensive skill.
I abruptly switched my grip on the Heaven-stealing sword as I lashed out with a Crushing Blow!
7042!
Crushing Blow X really caused Dominating Knight God’s entire body to tremble and I swiftly followed it up with a Pardon + basic attack combo!
MISS!
8072!
As his character let out a cry of misery, Dominating Knight God fell to his knees. His eyes were burning with rage as he stared at me, and it was clear that their plan to steal a Rare mount had completely backfired on them.
Dominating Heaven Blade was overcome with rage. He’d never dreamed that Gui Guzi and I would still be able to foil his plans despite his overwhelming number advantage.
When I turned around, I saw that the magic formation was still glowing underneath the Armored Swordback Dragon. He had already failed four times in a row, and the constant attacks that were raining down on his head had definitely contributed to these consecutive failures.
Whoosh!
A magic formation shaped like a hexagram appeared beneath the feet of the Armored Swordback Dragon. The dragon raised his head into the air and let out a miserable wail as it desperately sought to break free of Gui Guzi’s Taming skill. However, Gui Guzi was a Level 110 undead knight; his level was high and his stats were stronger than most knights’ of the same level, so how could it be easy for any critter to break free from his Taming skill. The Armored Swordback Dragon was only a Rare monster, not a rare Boss that could be tamed, so it wasn’t that hard to subdue.
By the time he had started his seventh consecutive try, Gui Guzi’s HP had already dropped to about 25%. It was at this exact moment that the Armored Swordback Dragon suddenly disappeared and transformed into a beam of ebon light that flew into the pet space on Gui Guzi’s shoulder.
Okay, he had finally succeeded in sealing and taming it!
I was overjoyed as I positioned myself in front of Gui Guzi to block the arrows that were pouring down on him like rain. After that, I used Thousand Ice Slash to kill the countless Mantises and Wasps that were swarming around us.
I let out a big laugh as I said, “Little Gui, find a chance to retreat and return to town. It’s meaningless for us to continue this petty fight.”
Gui Guzi chuckled as he said, “Boss Broken Halberd, why do we need to undersell ourselves and bolster their reputation? Take a look at this…”
As he said those words, that punk took out a large health potion and drank it. After that, he waved a hand, causing a magic formation to appear. In the next instant, an enormous Armored Swordback Dragon appeared and Gui Guzi hefted a spear as he leapt onto its back. His HP bar immediately grew a lot longer once he did that! That was one of the effects of riding a mount!
“Punks of the Gods of Destruction, here’s your daddy!”
He launched his attack from a steep angle and a tyrannically powerful beam of spear energy erupted outwards as he swept his spear at the players from Gods of Destruction. The beam skewered three of their archers where they stood.
