Chapter 609: A Costly Lesson (1/2)
Whoosh!
High Fighting Spirits activated Charge, stunning the Ghost Rider who was positioned behind Galaxy Breaker Mage. His Invincible howled through the air as he yelled, ”Fuck you! You killed so many of our comrades, and you still think you can run away?! Have a taste of my Xiezhi Howl!”
With an explosive boom, High Fighting Spirits’ Xiezhi Howl created a vortex of energy that resembled a tornado. It battered Galaxy Breaker Mage’s Origin Energy Shield as the famed berserker pounced at him like a savage god of war. He immediately cut off the mage’s retreat path while he raised a hand to ward off Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch’s assault. His health started dropping rapidly!
”Help Fighting Spirits! Charge!”
Li Chengfeng, Xu Yang, and Chaos Moon activated Charge at the same time, and all three of them had selected Galaxy Breaker Mage as their target. Spirals of fiery energy erupted from all of their weapons as they charged straight for the mage, the blazing energy forming a sort of fiery net in the air as they flew toward him.
”Fuck…” Galaxy Breaker Mage’s face went pale when he saw the three warriors charge straight at him. He darted around like a slippery weasel as he tried to use pathing to dodge the three Barrier Breaks heading his way. As his shoes slid across the ground, he caused a huge ”MISS” to fly up into the air. He had managed to successfully dodge Xu Yang’s attack, but he wouldn’t be so lucky a second time. Li Chengfeng’s mechanical skill was superlative and Chaos Moon had spent a lot of time honing her skills in the champion arena. Even though she wasn’t as good as Li Chengfeng, she was still far better than Xu Yang.
Pchht!
Pchht!
Both their weapons slammed into Galaxy Breaker Mage’s Origin Energy Shield, shattering it instantly. Two damage numbers flew up into the air!
17902!
19045!
That was it for Galaxy Breaker Mage!
Galaxy Breaker Mage fell to the floor with a strangled cry. A round cloth cap that was the color of blood had dropped from his cold corpse. Chaos Moon had gotten the last hit, so her Plunder skill had struck yet again! When she was using her Famous General Skill, anyone she killed would definitely drop items. You could even say that Galaxy Breaker Mage was quite unlucky to have met someone like Chaos Moon today.
I nodded my head. ”Yeah, those are your spoils of war, go and sell them!”
Chaos Moon giggled as she threw the cloth cap into her inventory. I wouldn’t force our players to donate gear like this to the guild warehouse. After all, these were items that our players had won by killing enemy generals, so there was no reason for the guild to steal the fruit of someone’s labor. The only thing Chaos Moon needed to do was to pass Li Chengfeng and High Fighting Spirits something as a token of her appreciation, because they had helped her to kill the mage.
We had completely reversed the situation on its head! Killing Galaxy Breaker Mage also meant that the enemy had lost their powerful ”artillery” piece, and that they were now vulnerable to the attacks of the long-range players from our guild. The attacks of our archers were especially fierce and every time Beiming Xue stunned someone with a Shock Arrow, she never failed to kill them within the next two seconds.
Bang, bang, bang...
Beiming Xue managed to stun one of the magic knights that was riding besides Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch. He was at full health, but eight arrows punched into his body about a second later, instantly killing him!
”Huh?!” Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch was dumbstruck by that incredible damage, but there was more bad news waiting for him. As he turned around, he saw the Hall of Immortality players behind him being cut to pieces by Gui Guzi, Heaven’s Rain, and the rest of the Cyan Tiger Cavalry.
”Fucking hell, where did we go wrong?” Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch roared as he swiveled around on his horse. He abandoned the rest of his men as he started to flee to safety. That ghostly horse of his was a boss-tiermount, so there was no way that I could catch up to him.
To be honest, I wasn’t even targeting him in the first place. I slowly turned to face the person whom I had designated as prey, the werebeast—Wing Breaker!
There was a group of Ghost Riders protecting Wing Breaker as he continued his inexorable advance. The giant werebeast’s eyes glowed with ferocity as he swung his huge warhammer as if it weighed nothing. Every swing of that dreadful hammer shattered the shield of a Cyan Tiger Cavalryman like it was nothing more than a plank of rotten wood. His attacks weren’t the only thing that was incredible. His shield always seemed to be able to block every one of Beiming Xue’s arrows as he charged toward Dark Moon City. In a matter of no time at all, he reached our city gates and smashed his warhammer into it with all of his might!
Boom!
The huge explosion caused everyone to stare at him with shock. No one had imagined that a player would be able to hit the gate of a city with that much force. Wing Breaker’s warhammer had left a huge dent in the thick and heavy bone gate. Cracks had appeared on the surface of the city gates and a few more hits from his warhammer would completely destroy it! That one attack had already taken out a huge chunk of the gate’s tenacity!
”What the fuck?! You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me!” I yelled, gunning straight for Wing Breaker. The archers and mages couldn’t target him because he had come too close to the city. It was now up to the fighters on the ground to deal with him.
When the Ghost Riders escorting Wing Breaker saw me rush toward him, their eyes turned cold and sharp. One of them yelled, ”Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand and Legendary Brave are charging at us! We need to protect Wing Breaker at all costs!”
Ice began to condense around my blade as I shot Thousand Ice Slash at the group of Ghost Riders. My sword divided into countless blades of ice that heavily smashed into the crowd of riders. The Ghost Riders immediately cried out in pain as their health started to plummet. They had been standing too close together, so the splash damage from my Cyan Netherworld Sword was doing incredible damage to them. Quite a few of them had even been one-shot by my Thousand Ice Slash because of that.
However, since there had been at least a hundred Ghost Riders escorting Wing Breaker, I was unable to cut through them all. I winced as I heard the sound of another huge explosion. Wing Breaker’s second hit had left our gates looking even more battered.
It was at this exact moment that Li Chengfeng charged forward and used Reverse Scale Slash to open up a path for me. He yelled, ”I’ll take care of these small fries. Go and kill Wing Breaker! We can’t let that dumbass continue his assault on our gates!”
”Okay!”
I dashed forward like a comet while Li Chenfeng immediately started ripping into the enemies around me. He kicked things off with Dragonbone Flurry, his three consecutive strikes causing a whole line of Ghost Riders to fall to the ground. But that was just the beginning. Li Chengfeng brandished his sword as wind started to swirl around him. After that, he shouted, ”Whirlwind Slash!”
Whoosh!
He swept past the Ghost Riders in his path like a gust of wind, his sharp blade flashing through the air at an incredible speed. Dozens of riders instantly fell to the ground with a thud! They hadn’t even been able to see what killed them. Damn, this Whirlwind Slash was awesome. It was an AoE skill that allowed its user to dash forward in a set direction!
