Chapter 473: Hurricane (1/2)
I kicked off the battle immediately with Burning Blade Slash, the cool-looking fire sword energy hitting a group of mobs and one-shotting them instantly. They might be Level 137 elite mobs, but they still weren’t strong enough to withstand my triple-hit combo. In fact, I bet that there were only a handful of players who could withstand my combo perfectly. For example, a Vajra-empowered Little Piglet could probably tank it without dying. Moreover, Burning Blade Slash wasn’t a particularly swift skill, so super-tier experts like Lin Yixin, Candlelight Shadow, Purple Marquis, and Li Chengfeng all had a high chance of parrying the skill.
Gaming was a deep well of knowledge. If my opponent was at the same level as me, I wouldn’t use Burning Blade Slash carelessly as a matter of course. I would move, attack, exploit the terrain and so on to crack a hole in my opponent’s defenses. Only then I would use Burning Blade Slash because then, the chances of one-shotting them was much higher. If they survived, I would continue forcing them into making mistakes with quick but orderly attacks before killing them.
PvP was without a doubt an art form.
……
”OMG, I wasn’t expecting the second wave to show up this quickly. We didn’t even have time to pick up the equipment…” Xu Yang looked a little dumbfounded.
I smiled. ”It’s fine. Take a group of players with you and pick them up after this wave is over. Let’s store them in Dark Moon City’s warehouse first and distribute them to our players based on their guild contribution later.”
”Mn, let’s do that!”
Xu Yang nodded smilingly. This was the reason He Yi valued Xu Yang greatly. Although his PvP skills were average at best, he was one of the best when it came to guild management. Moreover, he was passionate, unafraid to give his life for his brothers and sisters, and absolutely loyal to He Yi. People like him were so rare that even Pillar of the Nation, the guild leader of Hegemon Palace, had once sent a message to Xu Yang in hopes of buying him to his side. Of course, Xu Yang had turned him down immediately with much swearing.
Boom!
Silver Dragon Storm triggered again and killed a large group of mobs, increasing my experience by a lot. An unhappy Chaos Moon immediately pushed her way to my side and said, ”Lu Chen, please add me to your party, please take me…”
At the distance, Pure Love raised her magic scepter and applied all sorts of buffs on me, causing my stats to rise even further than it already was.
Li Chengfeng immediately cried like a bitch. ”OMG, Pure Love, you are my party member, so why are you putting all your buffs on Lu Chen? You… you can’t do this after everything I’ve invested in you…”
Pure Love replied calmly, ”I’ll buff you when you’re as handsome as Lu Chen.”
Li Chengfeng looked to the heavens and wailed.
His features could be described as proud, firm, or unyielding, but he really wasn’t that much of a handsome guy. In fact, both Flower Room’s Li Le and Hegemon Palace’s Wang Dongliang were much more good-looking than Li Chengfeng or I. The problem with them was that they also looked like the gigolos in a night club, and they lacked the vigor a man should have.
Speaking of which, Li Le had a new woman companion by his side. I had to admit that he was living the good life. That being said, I didn’t envy him in the slightest because his women would always be trash, and either one of the women by my side was a million times better than all of his put together.
……
”The boss just spawned!”
Gui Guzi’s eyes reported with bright eyes. ”It’s only about three minutes away from us. Should we head over and snatch it?”
I nodded. ”Little Gui, I leave this to you and the Fireblade Cavalry. Considering your current Attack and Defense, you guys should be able to kill that Level 137 Purple Gold Rank boss without any losses, right?”
Gui Guzi raised his spear and declared with a smile, ”Don’t worry boss, just leave it to me! Oh right, what should we do if someone attacks us?”
I grinned. ”When two people meet, only one will emerge victorious. You have nothing to be scared of, do you?”
”Got it. See you later!”
After that, Gui Guzi and the Fireblade Cavalry left the frontline, skirted the edges and charged toward the boss's location. Along the way, they swung their swords left and right and took down all the Dark Beetles standing in their way, seemingly unstoppable. Mounted players definitely held a great advantage in this battle!
……
He Yi didn’t join them because she was the supreme commander of our battle line. Riding atop the Snow Domain Windchaser and wielding Whirlwind, she launched blades of condensed sword energy into the mobs, dealing devastating amounts of damage. I made sure to stay as close to her as possible because all the mobs around her had their stats reduced by 30% thanks to Royal Road. Both of us had an easier time mowing down the mobs because of it.
Suddenly, a violent gust of wind suddenly surrounded He Yi’s sword. The next moment, a great hurricane crashed onto the Dark Beetles and killed most of them! It was none other than the Outstanding Property of the weapon, Hurricane. The passive skill had an even lower proc rate than my Silver Dragon Storm, but the effects were in no way inferior. For a while, everyone in the guild exchanged astonished looks with each other before looking at their guild leader again in a new light. Everyone knew that the guild leader of Snowy Cathaya possessed both astounding looks and skills, but it looked like their guild leader wasn’t too far behind. It was a realization that pleased everyone.
”Guild leader, your weapon…” Li Chengfeng had a pair of keen eyes, it seemed. He actually realized what the weapon was. ”Holy shit, is that the legendary Level 120 signature weapon of Wanderer, Whirlwind? One of the strongest Level 120 sword-type weapons in the game?”
He Yi nodded with a smile. ”Yep, it’s a 4-star Outstanding Spirit-grade weapon. You’ve witnessed its might just now…”
”No wonder your DPS is so high… when did you get it?”
”Lu Chen gave it to me…”
