Chapter 597: Mountain Stagger Slash (1/2)
The wide-eyed people gulped visibly. ”The sword Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand is holding… is the number one weapon on the Weapons Ranking, Cyan Netherworld Sword? It’s a 6-star Outstanding Heaven-grade item and the weapon Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch of Hall of Immortality put up a ten million RMB bounty on… it’ll be a jackpot if we get his sword…”
All kinds of delusional images filled their minds for a moment. It was as if the sword in my hand wasn’t a deadly weapon, but a thick wad of cash, a luxurious mansion, a peerless beauty, and so on. Long story short, anyone who got their hands on this sword would get all the women, all the wealth and all the fame for having killed the seventh CGL Hall of Famer, Falling Dust. It was literally the fulfillment of every man’s ambition—and all they had to do was kill me.
”Kill him! Kill Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand and grab his Cyan Netherworld Sword! By the way, I heard the rest of his equipment is pretty strong as well, right? It’ll be a jackpot if we could grab even one of his Outstanding Earth-grade items, hahaha!”
”Gogogo!”
”Attack!”
……
Logic gave way to greed, and greed gave way to insanity. Every enemy player around raised their weapons and started charging me like mad. It was exactly the kind of effect I was hoping to induce. The more players I taunted, the less pressure my allies needed to endure, especially since I was the tankiest player of the group right now.
I launched Thousand Ice Slash onto the crowd. Then, I tossed three Ice Cyclone Domains to the area about a dozen or so yards away from me. Anyone who wanted to attack me would have to go through them first, meaning that they would have to fight me while their movement speed and attack speed were drastically reduced. In a battle of attrition, the advantage was on my side.
Boom!
The Thousand Ice Slash one-shot all low-health players, and those who didn’t die were mostly frozen as well. While they were immobilized, the Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf darted between them and finished the job with its teeth and claws. Not to be outdone by my pet, I ran into the crowd, used War Crush and swung the Cyan Netherworld Sword all over the place, giving these greed-blinded fools a taste of the divine armament in my hand.
The enemy fired a concentrated volley of arrows at me, and many of them were Shock Arrows, a CC skill with a stun. However, the stun resistance provided to me by level and equipment advantage was so high that around 99% of them were useless. Still, there was like 1% chance of a proc, so it was only a matter of time before one of the hundreds of arrows stunned me—
Bang!
Suddenly, my vision turned blurry, and my body shook madly. Shit, just when I thought about it!
At the same time, a dozen or so Galaxy Storms devoured me and dealt massive damage—
1982!
1728!
……
It was terrible. I had lost almost 30k HP in less than five seconds. This would’ve been fatal if Pure Love hadn’t buffed me with Physique and increased my max HP by 45%. For now though, with a max HP of 43k, I could still recover from this!
Swhoosh!
A beam of bloody light penetrated the clouds as I activated Tenacity of the Dead and instantly healed myself for 10k+ HP. Then, I chugged down a Rank 8 Saint Spirit Potion and further restored myself to almost 30k HP. Finally, the priests including Moon Dew focused their healing on me and pushed my HP past the 90% mark at lightning speed. Just like that, I was safe and ready to go again!
It was at this moment Beiming Xue shouted from the back, ”There are too many enemies around big bro! We need to suppress them with Spiraling Arrow Blades as soon as possible!” Mere moments passed before she shouted again. “Now!”
The next moment, at least fifty Spiraling Arrow Blades exploded in a 20-yard radius around me, killing countless archers and mages. More than half of the enemy’s ranged players close to me were killed just like that. Beiming Xue’s archer party truly was the nuclear weapon of our guild. Every time they launched an assault, the results were absolute devastation.
Feeling a great pressure departing my shoulders, I fired a Burning Blade Slash and killed the melee fighters standing in front of me. Now that my HP was full, I renewed my assault on the enemy with extra vigor. I killed the Throne Seeker players so quickly that not a single one of them was able to get close to me. They looked terrible to say the least.
……
The battle had reached a climax at this point. The flames of war stretched hundreds of yards, and the light of skills shone so brightly and frequently that they made the sky look dim. Sea of Flames burned the whole valley, and arrows stole away the lives of players on both sides like a poisonous dart on a cold night.
Li Chengfeng was standing at the frontline and cutting down players with broad sweeps, grinning. After hitting a group of players with a Reverse Scale Slash, he reversed the angle of his sword and took out the closest magic knight to him with a Barrier Break. The dragon warrior seemed almost invincible, and the priests behind his back made sure that that was the case.
On the other side, Chaos Moon fired Rock Crush and crushed countless people beneath a cyan mountain range. The skill ignored a certain percentage of Defense, and the Bone Scythe set drastically boosted Chaos Moon’s attack power. She was incredibly powerful to say the least!
Pop pop pop...
All the players who were killed by Chaos Moon dropped equipment like crazy. The floor of shiny loot beneath her feet was enough to distract anyone who was looking at her direction.
Panicking, a Throne Seeker player pointed at her and shouted, ”Holy shit, that girl’s a goddamn weapon of mass destruction! Anyone she kills always drops a piece of equipment, so watch out! My second brother dropped three pieces after he died! He’s lucky to have retained his underwear! This is too brutal!”
