The morning mist spread, and a purple lizard about ten meters long charged out of the forest. The Barbarian Throne on the lizard's back was clad in blood-red armor and wielding a fiery red sword. Beside him was a ferocious tiger wrapped in crimson flames. It roared and bent its hind legs, ready to pounce.
Not far away from the Barbaric Throne, two well-equipped high-level players stared at me and Ling Xue with malicious intent. One of them was Qinghe, and the other was Whirlwind. They were both core players of the Fierce Tiger Alliance. Their equipment was top-notch, and their strength was top-notch. They couldn't be underestimated.
The Fierce Tiger Alliance wasn't the only group that had come. More and more players were charging out of the mist, and there were at least a thousand of them. Moreover, I could hear bird cries above my head, and I could vaguely make out a black shadow. My heart sank. Is that … the bane of the Dragon Riders, the Owl Riders?!
Not good. The Barbarian Throne had come prepared this time. They even had the Owl Knight. Whether or not Ling Xue and I could ride a giant dragon, they were determined to win.
Ling Xue looked around, her beautiful eyes wandering around. She whispered in the party channel, "There's a large bramble forest on the right, and an open space on the left. We'll break through from the right. Once we enter the bramble forest, the Tiger Alliance cavalry will be useless!"
I nodded, but I didn't expect a rustling sound to come from the bramble forest. A spear-wielding armored player walked out of the bramble forest with a smile. He said, "You want to leave from here?
Of course, you'll have to step over my body first. But if you want to step over my body, you'll have to ask my companions if they're willing... "
This person was Sky God, the second strongest person in the India server and the leader of the second strongest guild in India.
Sky God raised his spear, and a dense group of archers immediately appeared from the bramble forest behind him. These people had been lying in ambush for a long time. A large group of archers drew their bows, and some even condensed cyclones on their arrows.
I groaned inwardly. 'This is bad. It looks like it's impossible to forcefully charge forward. These Sacred-domain archers will turn Ling Xue and I into porcupines.'
Above their heads, Brave Heart shouted, "Scholar, you guys leave. I'll hold them off!"
I raised my sword with one hand, "No need, just kill them all!"
As he spoke, he walked forward and stood in front of the Fierce Tiger Alliance players. Without fear, he asked in a low voice, "Ye, aren't you attacking Ground Tooth City?
You actually have the time to bring your main force here to intercept me. How carefree! "
The Savage Throne's face twitched. "My … my surname is not Ye …"
On the other side, Qing Tian said, "Don't waste time talking to him. Let's kill this China region's number one Hall of Famer. Heh, we'll write a new chapter in Eternal Moon City's history!"
Ling Xue said, "Isn't the Fierce Tiger Alliance and Sky Pillar incompatible like fire and water?
Why did you put aside your pride today and start colluding with us? "
It was obvious that the little beauty was trying to sow discord between them.
Unfortunately, Sky Pillar raised his eyebrows and said, "The China region has taken two of our cities. This enmity is irreconcilable. What grudge can't we put down?
The battle between me and the Fierce Tiger Alliance can wait until we kill you all! "
Failing to sow discord, Ling Xue pouted and said bitterly, "It's over …"
Qinghe raised her sword and said, "Let's attack together and finish them off quickly!"
The Savage Throne waved his hand. "No!"
"What, boss?"
"Heh, I want to fight the two of them one on one!"
The Savage Throne let out a savage smile and said, "China region's number one, I want to see how strong he is. Now that there's a third person, watch how I destroy them, hehe …"
Wind Xuan's eyes were cold and he laughed coldly. "Okay, let them taste boss's power!"
Qing Tian was silent and tacitly agreed. Although it was a temporary alliance, Qing Tian's strength was far weaker than the Fierce Tiger Alliance, so he didn't dare to say too much. It was important to know one's own strength, and Qing Tian was such a person.
… …
The Savage Throne urged his purple lizard to crawl forward. This lizard was a close relative of dragons and was extremely fast. It was another tamed lizard boss, so its movement speed was comparable to a cheetah's. It reached me and Ling Xue in two or three breaths.
The Savage Throne's equipment had clearly been updated. He wore a blood-red armor instead of the original Golden Scale Set. This set must be stronger than the Golden Scale Set, right?
Ling Xue quickly flipped through the equipment list and finally confirmed, "Dragonblood Equipment Set, Level 255 divine equipment, ranked fourth on the equipment list, second only to Sister's Spirit of Grief Equipment Set. Owner: Barbaric Throne, obtained half a month ago …"
I sucked in a deep breath and said, "The Savage Throne's sword looks like it's at least Earth Divine Armament. It might even be a Heavenly Divine Armament …"
Ling Xue couldn't help but smile. "There's no need to say. It's a Heavenly Divine Armament, Burning Sun Sword, Level 255 Heavenly Divine Armament."
"Fuck …"
I was shocked. No wonder the Savage Throne was confident enough to challenge me and Ling Xue alone. His mount was one thing, but his equipment had also improved by leaps and bounds in the past month. He must have done some main quest, or else he wouldn't have improved so much. It looked like Wind Whirlwind and Qinghe's equipment had also been upgraded. They had probably completed the quest together with the Savage Throne.
Seeing Ling Xue and my reaction, Qinghe couldn't help but mock us. "Scared?
If you are, then kill yourself. We'll keep the equipment you drop for you. "
The Savage Throne waved his hand. "Eh?!
What are you saying?
It's a shame to kill myself. I'll get 10 Levels if I kill two people, and that's enough experience for me to climb to the top of the World Rankings. How can I waste such a good opportunity? "
"Hahaha …" Qinghe, Wind Whirlwind, Sky Pillar, and the others burst into laughter. They seemed to have never heard anything happier than this.
In fact, the Indian region's hatred towards the Chinese players wasn't just a small one. The two main cities that they were so proud of had been conquered by the Chinese players. The Indian region had been forced to move to Falling Flame City and then to Beast Soul City. This kind of hatred was similar to the hatred that the original owners of Beast Soul City, the Canadian players, had towards the Indian region.
Now that the Savage Throne finally had a chance to talk to me, he naturally wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity for revenge. If it was me, I would also demand a duel. There was nothing more exciting and morale-boosting than killing the enemy's commander in front of thousands of troops.
In the sky, Brave Heart slowly descended and said, "Savage Throne, there is no need to bully a wanted person. If you want a duel, I will fight you one on one. How about it?"
The Savage Throne revealed a disdainful expression. "You?
You are not worthy. Get lost! "
"Oh?!"
A trace of murderous intent flashed across Brave Heart's beautiful face. The Two-headed Dark Dragon suddenly roared, and Brave Heart fired a sword energy at the Savage Throne!
"Hmph!"
The Savage Throne immediately raised his shield and endured the attack. He lost 450,000 HP, or 5% of his total HP. Savage Throne had at least 8 million HP, so he was too strong to fear.
However, the Ferocious Tiger Alliance players behind Barbarian Throne were completely annihilated by Brave Heart's single slash. Many archers, mages, and clerics were even one-shot. Barbarian Throne was utterly humiliated. He clenched his teeth and shouted, "You asked for it!"
My heart skipped a beat. Brave Heart fighting the Savage Throne alone?
This wasn't very realistic. There was too much of a difference in our equipment, and the Barbaric Throne wasn't afraid of aerial combat. Braveheart didn't have much of an advantage over me, so it was better to let Ling Xue and me do it. That way, we would be more agile, and our chances of winning would be higher.
Therefore, I shouted, "Annie, come back!
I accept this challenge. No one can take my opponent away from me, understand?! "
Brave Heart stilled for a moment, then shook his head helplessly. He rode the Two-headed Dark Dragon into the air and said, "Scholar, Ling Xue, I'll help you. If things go south, use Invincible and leave. I can bring up the rear."
"Mn."
I nodded gratefully and smiled. "Don't worry. Even if I don't have a mount, how hard can it be to take out the Savage Throne?"
The Savage Throne was furious when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't waste your breath. You'll know once we fight!"
With that, the Savage Throne raised his Ardent Sun Sword high and shouted, "Here it comes!"
Begin!
The purple lizard was extremely fast, and it charged over like lightning. The Barbaric Throne was even more domineering as he slashed with his sword in each hand. Sword energy surged, bringing with it a whirlwind.
Pu pu!
The sword energy left a deep mark on the ground, but it couldn't hurt Ling Xue or me at all. We could almost guess that the Savage Throne would do this the moment he charged over. Against the mountless Ling Xue and I, the Savage Throne didn't even care.
"Judgement!"
The Barbaric Throne reacted very quickly the moment I threw out my killing move. He waved his hand and added a green shield to himself. He was actually immune to Judgement's magic effects!
I chuckled. Against a top-tier expert, I didn't expect Judgement to do anything. I just wanted to force him to use his lifesaving skill.
I held my sword with both hands and summoned numerous Ice Cyclones. With a "shua", I disappeared from the spot and turned into a blue shadow that charged toward the target. While I was moving quickly, I stepped on the ground with my battle boots. "shua shua shua", I moved in a zigzag pattern. It was impossible to pinpoint my location at all. This skill caused all the Indian players to be stunned.
"Hah!"
The Barbaric Throne roared and unleashed a Flame Slash, but it missed.
Puchi!
The Scarlet Heaven Sword stabbed into the Savage Throne's armpit like a poisonous snake's bite.
"Shield Breaking Slash!"
"Total Annihilation!"
Peng peng peng! A series of critical hits forced the Savage Throne and the purple lizard back a few steps. A string of damage numbers appeared above their heads —
“1492737！”
“384743！”
“326467！”
“313742！”
“304884！”
“337474！”
As expected, this Dragonblood Armor definitely added a lot of Defense. Only my Shield Breaking Slash could ignore Defense. Total Annihilation's damage was negligible.
"Heh!"
The Savage Throne smiled sinisterly. I hurriedly pulled out my sword, but it was too late. The edge of the Savage Throne's shield was stuck in Scarlet Heaven Sword's spinning barbs.
Damn it, the Savage Throne was easily ambushed. This was just a trap!
