Chapter 648: Frightening Slash (2/2)

The spell had been conjured by a Level 143 mage called ”Ximen Chuixue”. We were all caught by surprise because we weren’t expecting to encounter an expert of this level in a subguild of Hall of Immortality. Not only that, the rainbow lights shining from the mage’s equipment made it pretty clear that most of his items were of Outstanding quality. His dragon-like scepter was especially eye-catching. It had to be a powerful mage scepter, or there was no way he could’ve dealt 10k damage to Gui Guzi.

”How dare you hit me, you motherfucker…” Gui Guzi waved his spear and urged his Cyan Tiger Cavalry to run down Ximen Chuixue, but the mage moved in a unique way that kept Gui Guzi from catching up to him. Not only was he kiting Gui Guzi like a boss, the Galaxy Storm he threw at him dealt massive damage to the riders next to Gui Guzi. Three Cyan Tiger Cavalrymenhad lost their mounts in less than half a minute.

Gui Guzi was wide-eyed with anger, but he couldn’t find an opportunity to Charge. The mage’s control was so perfect that there was always a 35 to 40–yard distance between the two of them.

Unable to bear the disgraceful sight any longer, I shouted, ”Little Gui, go kill someone else! Leave him to me!”

”Got it!” Gui Guzi obeyed and moved away.

I gripped my sword and slapped my mount once. The Armored Ice Qilin Horse let out a sharp neigh before thundering toward the mage at high speed!

”Huh, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand?” The corner of Ximen Chuixue’s mouth curled up slightly. ”Doesn’t matter who you are, you lowly warriors and magic knights will always be trash before a mage! I’ve been exploring the jianghu for decades, and I’ve never met my match. If I was online during the raid, Hall of Immortality would’ve slaughtered you all already…”

I grinned. ”Nope, never heard of you before. Bye!”

Swhoosh!

I swung my sword right down on Ximen Chuixue’s head. The Armored Ice Qilin Hose was so fast that the mage simply didn’t have a chance to put his running skills to use. His failure was also partially due to the fact that he was busy slowing down Gui Guzi with his icicles up until a moment ago, so he was driven into a corner in no time at all. That being said, I had to admit he was quite a skillful player. He had calmly stepped behind an obstacle and avoided my attack!

Boom!

He stomped the ground once, and an inferno suddenly exploded from beneath my feet. The literal fire wall immediately deleted a huge chunk of HP from my health bar!

5990!

5389!

5523!

……

Fully confident in his abilities, a smiling Ximen Chuixue continued to kite me calmly while saying, ”I guess this is as far as the seventh CGL Hall of Famer and a Heavenly King can go!”

”Is that so?”

I smiled, and the Ice Qilin Horse abruptly shattered the stone it was standing on. First, I launched two extended basic attacks to cut off the enemy’s retreat path. Then, I used the sixth-promotion warrior’s skill, Frightening Slash!

Swhoosh!

A purply, ghastly aura surrounded my blade and penetrated the Ximen Chuixue’s Magic Shield in the blink of an eye. Instead of losing HP though, he lost a ton of MP—25792!

Very good! Not even the strongest mage in the world could have any remaining MP after this attack!

”Ah?!”

Ximen Chuixue obviously wasn’t expecting the skill. The loss of all his MP disrupted his original battle plan and stopped him from using Blink to get away to safety. I immediately thrust my sword forward and hit him with a devastating Universe Break!

Squelch!

29092!

It was a one-shot. Right now, there shouldn’t be a mage in all the servers who could withstand a Universe Break from me yet. Ximen Chuixue was holding a Magic Consumable right in front of his mouth, but he died before he could drink it.

……

Pop!

A scepter dropped from his dead body. I picked it up and saw that it was a Level 140 3-star Outstanding Spirit-grade item. Now I understood why Ximen Chuixue was able to deal so much damage to Gui Guzi and me. Still, he was dead, so he was no longer a problem.

After that, I turned my mount around and joined the others. Ten minutes later, every last member of the fourth subguild of Hall of Immortality had been killed and sent back to their cities.

Right on time, Come See The Snow Tonight officially submitted the Vassal Token and started the raid. Just like last time, the system announcement urged us, the attacker, to take down Immortal City in 10 hours!

I rode my horse to the city and looked up at the wall. Hands pressed against an arrow tower and eyes staring at me in anger, Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch shouted, ”Just you wait, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand!”

On one side, the guild leader of Rose of the Holy Domain, Rose Thorn, was holding a sword in silence. On the other, the guild leader of Throne Seeker, Emperor’s Equal, was present as well. It looked like the three guilds had come together yet again. In the end, there was no such thing as eternal enemies or friends in the name of profit.
