Chapter 433: Unbeatable Bow God (1/2)
To the southeast side of Sky City, there was a vast, foggy canyon in the middle of the mountains. It was very early in the morning inside the game, and everyone’s vision was reduced to the point that they couldn’t see anything past 20 meters. It was a nightmarish environment to operate in for any archer or mage. Without vision, they wouldn’t be able to get a lock-on with their skills, meaning that long-range attacks were left wanting in most cases. Things weren’t much better for melee classes either. What could they do when they couldn’t even see if there was a mob right in front of them?
……
Clang!
I pulled out the Heaven-stealing Sword and yelled loudly, ”Everyone, bring up your minimaps and pay attention to the dots around you! I want everyone to gather around me, now!”
Almost a thousand of us had come to this valley. We had elites of every class, and we were a sizable threat to any force. I was happy that the guild had come this far. We wouldn’t be helpless even if we ran into a powerful guild.
A ton of blue dots was starting to appear on the edge of the minimap. They represented the players who didn’t belong to our guild, and they were moving rapidly toward the center of the canyon where the boss was. No one had expected the Death Lord to spawn at such a remote location.
Inside the guild channel, I heard Gui Guzi saying, ”Boss, back off a bit. I think Little Piglet is planning to kill you…”
”Mn,” He Yi responded.
We all tensed up when we heard this. Fuck, the bastards from Hegemon Palace got here before us. Have they fought He Yi and Gui Guzi already?
Still running at top speed, I asked, ”What’s the situation, Little Gui?”
Gui Guzi replied with heavy panting, ”Boss and I encountered the boss first, but thousands of Hegemon Palace players suddenly appeared almost right next to us. We fought each other for a while, but we had to retreat because there were too many of them. We also lost the aggro on the boss!”
”That’s fine. Back off if you really can’t hang in there. We’ll be arriving in 5 minutes at most!”
”Okay!”
……
We continued moving through the fog. For a couple of minutes, I trekked across small bushes and tiny rocks while wilted leaves covered my shoulders. I was at the forefront of the group because the Barbaric War Boots gave me a lot of movement speed. Behind me, about twenty meters away, High Fighting Spirits, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun, Xu Yang, and the others were following closely.
”We’re here!”
A huge clump of blue dots suddenly appeared on the minimap, and they were surrounding a giant red dot. The red dot was clearly the boss!
Gui Guzi stumbled out of the fog right behind as well. The blade of his spear was dripping with blood, and his ID was just as red. Only he could tell us exactly how many people he had killed before meeting up with us. They were being pursued by a group of Hegemon Palace players, and it was at this moment a beautiful figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stunned him!
It was Shangguan Wan’er’s Ambush! Her timing was truly impeccable!
At nearly the same time, Little Piglet burst out of the fog like lightning, stepped on Gui Guzi’s Armored Swordback Dragon tail and ran up the mount’s back skillfully. The bastard was annoying, but there was no denying how good of a player he was. His sword turned icy, and he stabbed Gui Guzi in the back three times in a row. It was none other than Little Piglet’s signature skill—Ice Ray Flurry!
Bang bang bang! Gui Guzi’s HP dropped rapidly—
3762!
3651!
3409!
Unfortunately for Little Piglet, Gui Guzi had over 20k HP, and he was buffed by He Yi’s Famous General Skill, Royal Road. Ice Ray Flurry dealt 10k damage to Gui Guzi, but Undying Shield healed the latter for 5K HP, effectively negating half the damage. Little Piglet probably felt like killing himself right now.
However, a bunch of Hegemon Palace mages appeared at the back and chanted their spells. A moment later, Ice Dragon Howls fell from the sky and deleted over half of Gui Guzi’s HP in an instant!
They’re not killing Gui Guzi today!
I snorted and raised my sword imperiously, shouting, ”Charge!”
I locked onto an enemy mage and activated Thunderous Charge. The second I entered their formation, I stomped the ground and used War Crush. The mages had already activated their Magic Shields, but it still wasn’t enough to negate the full power of my skill. They groaned and fell to the ground, dyeing my ID even redder than before!
I looked to the distance. I was Level 115, so I could see slightly further than most players. When I saw a group of players emerging from the fog—they were obviously Hegemon Palace’s reinforcements—I immediately hit them with a Thousand Ice Slash!
Boom!
The unfortunate players collapsed in droves. Behind me, Little Piglet was charging me with Vajra and Strength of Divine Arms turned on. He growled, ”Remember me, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand? Hahahaha…”
”Get lost!”
I spun around and thrust my sword at him with everything I got. Little Piglet reacted even quicker and attempted to parry my attack. Unfortunately for him, my Famous General Skill was an offensive passive, and his, a defensive passive. His strength was inferior to mine, so what should’ve been a successful parry turned into a failed parry instead!
Bang!
The impact was so great Little Piglet was sent sliding toward the back, his feet leaving a pair of deep gashes on the ground. Before he could steady himself, Li Chengfeng attacked him from the side and slashed him four times in a row. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to one-shot him where he stood.
1763!
