Chapter 649: Shameless Bitch (1/2)
Gui Guzi retorted with a wave of his spear, ”Bullshit!”
I smiled. ”Time to retreat, guys. At any rate, this city will change hands when the day is over!”
I turned my mount around and left with the Cyan Tiger Cavalry after leaving behind the ominous threat. It felt pretty great to slaughter the fourth subguild of Hall of Immortality right before Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch, Rose Thorn and Emperor’s Equal’s eyes without them being able to do anything.
……
I counted our losses. In total, we lost less than a hundred Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen to annihilate a subguild of 5000 players; almost a flawless assault. It was obvious how much stronger we were compared to them.
As we reentered the edge of the forest, we saw a sea of players appearing from behind the woods. An ancient sword was floating on their shoulder. Our main force had finally arrived. In total, our main guild and 10 subguilds added up to almost 100000 players. There were a lot more of us than before for sure.
He Yi was clad in a snow-white battle robe and riding the Snow Domain Windchaser as usual. Her weapon was the Level 145 5-star Outstanding Earth-grade weapon, Blade of the Earthen Soul. Not only was she ridiculously powerful and tanky, being a super high-level player meant that her resistances were pretty impressive as well. She was definitely one of the best close-range players of our guild.
”You’ve arrived, boss.” I rode up to her with a greeting.
”Mn.” He Yi gave me a nod of acknowledgment before gazing at the city. ”Looks like Hall of Immortality is prepared for a siege from the start. Their numbers are high, and there are arrow towers all around the city. This Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch must’ve splashed a ton of gold to build them. Scary…”
I smiled reassuringly. ”Don’t worry, they’re just paper tigers, and it’s not like we have to be the rock that tests the waters. Let’s save our strength and leave the grunt work to the other guilds. We’ll take down the city in one mighty swoop when there’s 5 hours left on the clock.”
He Yi asked with a smile, ”But we’re here to assist Baidicheng, right? It feels a bit disingenuous to just wait around and do nothing.”
”Not a problem. I’ll help them attack the city.” I patted my chest confidently. ”I promise I’ll get in and out alive!”
Gui Guzi immediately chimed in. ”Boss Broken Halberd, let me join you!”
”Sure!”
Xu Yang said, ”It’s a shame I haven’t done my sixth promotion yet, or I might be joining you two!”
”Mn!”
I also checked the Heavenly Ranking of Sky City in passing. I was still at Level 150, but the second-placed ranker, Lin Yixin, was already Level 149. Clearly, she hadn’t slept a wink last night.
”Yiyi…” I murmured in dejection.
Seemingly noticing my thoughts, Beiming Xue walked up to me and pulled my arm comfortingly. ”Don’t be sad, big bro. I’m sure Sister Lin Yixin would very much prefer to be with you if she could. I heard that she, Purple Marquis, and Shadow Chanel went away to complete a big quest. The reason she’s trying so hard to prove herself is because she doesn’t want to be looked down by her father, and… because she doesn’t want to let you down, I think…”
”She doesn’t want to let me down?”
”Yeah!” Beiming Xue’s eyes shone intelligently as she spoke. She then moved closer to my ears and whispered, ”Girls are strange creatures, you know. No ordinary girl can be your girlfriend, and Sister Lin Yixin knows that. The reason she’s working so hard is to become a woman who’s worthy of you. Don’t you think so?”
I shivered; touched by what Beiming Xue told me. I gripped the Cyan Netherworld Sword tightly and declared, ”Beiming, from this point onward, every battle I fight in will be half for Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls and our dream, and half for Yiyi. I refuse to let her down and become the man Lin Xiao thinks me to be!”
”Mn. Do your best, big bro!”
I felt much better after my little sis consoled me. At the very least, the gloom and doom hanging over my head didn’t feel as thick as before. Lin Yixin might have vanished temporarily from my life, but I could sense that she was hard at work somewhere. She must be missing me as much as I am missing her, right?
……
It was at this moment a figure emerged from atop a hill and ran toward us. His movement speed was amazing, and he was clad in a set of crimson gold metal armor. He wielded a double-edge sword with draconic runes engraved into its body, and ancient runes floating just above the surface. Clearly, it was no ordinary sword. The line of text floating above his head was very familiar to everyone—
Legendary Brave LV-148 Platinum Dragon Warrior
Guild: Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls
Position: Corps Commander
……
”Hahaha, finally back from your adventure, Li?” High Fighting Spirits walked up to him with a laugh. He looked clearly impressed when he saw Li Chengfeng’s level and clicked his tongue. ”God damn, it’s only been two days since we last met! How did you gain so many levels so quickly? You must have completed a super main quest or something, right? Hmm, you changed your armor and your weapon too?”
Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun walked up to Li Chengfeng and started rubbing his hands all over Li Chengfeng’s metal armor and shoulder armor. ”Feels good…”
Li Chengfeng immediately jumped a few steps backward and said warily, ”What the fuck dude, get your hands off me!”
