"What? You don't recognize me?" Bing Cha raised an eyebrow.
"Of course I do. Of course I do."
Bing Cha burst into a laugh. "I lost Clear Breeze City the moment I woke up. When I tried to take it back, I realized I didn't have the strength to do so."
"Weren't you recuperating?"
"I'm fine."
"Then why didn't you come back?" I asked.
Bing Cha glared at me. "There's nothing worth worrying about. Why would I go back?"
"Nothing?"
"Yes, at least not you. I miss Ling Xue, Ling Yue, and Sister Qin Yun. These are all true..."
… …
Solitary Grave walked up and said, "Enough reminiscing. Scholar, Bing Cha, Ling Xue, you three go up the city!"
I nodded and turned around. "Ling Xue, Bing Cha, come with me!"
As I said this, I let out a low shout and formed cyclones. In an instant, I completed my transformation. My body was covered in blue soul flames, and all my stats were greatly increased.
Clatter clatter clatter...
I ran up the ladder with my tattered Level 80 Dark Gold – grade shield in hand. Fortunately, Domain Shield was still active, or I would've been crippled.
The players on the city wall were in an uproar. They pointed down and shouted, "That's a Holy Domain expert!?
Archers, shoot him down. Don't let him break into the city! "
But it was too late. I completed all my actions in less than 10 seconds and jumped onto the city wall with unstoppable momentum.
Thud!
There was nothing to say when I landed on the ground. I used my ultimate first!
Rising Dragon Strike!
Roar!
An enormous cyan dragon flew out and swept across the area!
Behind me, a beautiful figure. It was Bing Cha. She raised her sword from afar and shouted, "Thunder Slash!"
Lightning sword energy descended and devoured a large group of people.
After the U.S. server's players had occupied Clear Breeze City in a hurry, they hadn't even constructed many defensive structures in the city. Only a few dilapidated Arrow Towers remained. The U.S. server's Attack Power was negligible.
Bing Cha had not been online for almost a month. Even though she was only Level 244, she was equipped with a full set of top-tier equipment. She was unstoppable as she killed her way through the enemies.
However, Bing Cha had yet to enter the Saint Domain, and his Health Points were dropping rapidly as he was attacked by the crowd.
I hurried to withdraw my sword and counterattacked. With a few swings of my sword, I knocked down a few people. Bing Cha's sword slashed savagely at someone's shield. The impact sent the man tumbling down the tower. He screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
"Eh?
Wait, where's Ling Xue?
Why aren't you here? "Bing Cha asked me.
I shook my head and thrust my sword forward. A cyclone surged, and the two American players who were charging at me fell to their knees.
At this moment, a vast power surged from the ground. I suddenly understood why Ling Xue didn't come up!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Countless Heavenly Fire descended from the sky, and icicles wreaked havoc on the ground. It was the Affection skill, Overwhelming Icefire!
A large number of American players screamed and fell to the ground. They couldn't even last ten seconds. A small section of the city wall was enveloped by Overwhelming Icefire and Overwhelming Icefire, receiving the baptism of the Affection skill.
Thud thud thud!
While the Affection skill was wreaking havoc, countless ladders were set up on the city wall. A large number of White Cloud City players rushed up.
Melancholy's voice came from inside the city. "Brothers, attack! Kill the NPCs guarding the city and blast open the city gate!"
Red lights flashed as a large number of assassins launched a surprise attack. Dozens of NPCs behind the city gate were stunned, and some of them were killed before they could even react.
Melancholy raised his dagger and stabbed at the city gate. The city gate was made of steel, and its long HP bar didn't seem to decrease at all under Melancholy's attacks. Melancholy was so angry that he punched it and said angrily, "Damn you, I can't break your defense!"
Outside the city, Dragon Soul and Xing Tian laughed and swung their swords at the city gate. The city wall shook and rumbled.
Not long after, Ling Xue also jumped up the city wall. Clear Breeze City's walls were unusually thick, and it was very difficult to attack. Unfortunately, the American players' morale wasn't high, and they were scared out of their wits by a wave of Feather Moon Fortress monsters. After I transformed and broke through the blockade, the south gate was completely routed.
Ling Xue walked up and killed the enemies in her way. She said with a smile, "Scholar, the durability of the gate is too high. We can't break it even after a long time. Why don't we use our Affection skill to open the gate?"
“ok！”
I quickly came next to Ling Xue. I didn't cancel my transformation and used Affection skill in my transformed state. I didn't know if it would increase the skill's power!
The result was just as I expected. When we locked onto the city gate and released the Azure Dragon and Fire Phoenix, the city gate let out a rattling sound and its durability and HP rapidly dropped — —
“1237382！”
“1374098！”
“1327490！”
… …
A string of damage numbers, all of them above a million!
"Boom!"
The gate instantly collapsed and kicked up a cloud of dust. Countless American players behind the gate were crushed to death. Blood splattered everywhere and formed bright red puddles on the ground.
Dragon Soul raised his sword and shouted, "The south gate has been breached! Kill!
Let's enter the city and leave no one alive, be it players or NPCs, kill them all! "
Everyone's morale was boosted, and they waved their weapons and charged into the city. The sea of American players in the city also prepared to fight, and the frontline soldiers raised their shields!
Clang clang clang!
The giant shields fell to the ground and smashed into the stone streets of the city. Rubble flew everywhere, and a steel defense line was formed.
"Tsk!
You still dare to set up a formation … "
Ling Xue's lips curled into a moving smile. "Scholar, Bing Cha, use One Sword to Leave the Dust!"
I was thinking the same thing, but Bing Cha said, "No, I have a boyfriend now. I don't want to play Affection Skills with this guy, hmph hmph …"
"Cut the crap!"
I pulled Bing Cha to my side and said, "One Sword to Leave the Dust, if you dare not use it, I'll throw you into a crowd!"
"Wow!"
Bing Cha's mouth fell open in surprise. "It's only been a few days, and you've become more domineering. I like it …"
"Fuck!"
Bing Cha was invincible again. Ling Xue covered her mouth and giggled. "Alright, hurry up. If you don't use it soon, Dragon Soul and Judging Sky are going to be cut into pieces."
In the distance, Dragon Soul, Judging Sky, Shadow Follower, Spring And Autumn Dance, and a few other heavy armor warriors had broken into the American shield formation. They were surrounded by fighters who were holding their ground, and outside the formation, arrows and magic rained down like rain. Although they couldn't be killed in a short amount of time, it was something that no one could endure in the long run.
Outside the formation, Sword Fire Battle Song, Thousand Miles Of Mountains, Fleeting Time, and a few more players were doing their best to break the shield formation. Unfortunately, they weren't strong enough, so they couldn't advance in time.
Bing Cha glared at me. "Hurry up, I've already activated my skill. What are you doing standing there like an idiot?"
"Oh, okay …"
I hurriedly drank a mouthful of mana, then pressed the button for [Affection]. Streaks of frost energy flew out from the Scarlet Heaven Sword. Ice Tea let out a soft shout and slashed at the air!
Boom!
The sword light that shot up into the sky fell upon the crowd, leaving deep fissures in the ground. The main road of the Clear Breeze City could be considered to have been completely destroyed. Bricks flew everywhere, looking like it had been bombed. Along the way, broken bodies littered the ground. The might of the Single Sword Severing the Dust this time was unprecedentedly strong!
Bing Cha chuckled. "Not bad, not bad. Cyclone Transformation is as powerful as expected.
As she said that, she glanced at me, her beautiful eyes blurred. "You look so handsome after you transform. I wonder if I can transform after I step into the Holy Domain?"
I replied, "Yes, you can. You'll turn into Sister Feng in one go!"
"Fuck!"
Bing Cha was so angry that he wanted to beat me up. I had already summoned my Blazing Warhorse and charged into the city. The time to kill had come. American players were everywhere in Cool Breeze City, and all the NPCs were from the American server. Just like Dragon Soul had said, I had to kill everything except China players!
Bing Cha summoned the White Tiger Boss, and Ling Xue summoned the Snow Feather Pegasus. The two girls chased after me.
Dragon Soul Xing Tian and the others raised their swords and shouted, "Charge! Clear out all the enemies on the main street first! Snow Moon, get into the city!"
Hellfire asked, "Could it be that we've fallen into their trap? The moment we enter the city, we'll discover that there are archers everywhere on the city walls, shooting ten thousand holes through us!?"
Ling Xue said disdainfully, "Archers are enough to kill you. You're so weak, you should've stayed outside the city to guard the city."
"I …" Hellfire was inspired. "Brothers, follow me. Let's go up the city walls and kill all the archers first!"
A large group of players from Time Like Water followed Hellfire up the city walls. Hellfire's strength wasn't bad. Even in the entire China server, he could be ranked in the top 10. His sword danced through the air, and no one could stop his attacks. As for the Archers, they were nothing more than straws waiting to be harvested.
Compared to the last Nation War, the situation was completely different. Last time, four main cities of the American server had joined forces with one main city of Japan. Their armies and powerful NPC armies had joined the battle, and Cool Breeze City was bathed in blood. This time, however, the players of the China server were united in their desire to take revenge, and Cool Breeze City was in a hurry to meet them. Moreover, there were two major factors that caused them trouble —
The first was the sudden appearance of a group of Nether Tiger Riders. This caused the American players to panic, and the moment they clashed, they showed signs of defeat. Also, the Nether Tiger Riders were tall, and had great destructive power against the city walls. This was why the enemy archers were unable to use their full strength.
The second was the power of the Holy Domain. Yes, the existence of a Holy Domain player couldn't affect the overall situation, but the appearance of a Holy Domain player with Cyclone Transformation on the city walls was undoubtedly an encouragement to their own side and a deterrent to the enemy. This was the key to military strategy. It was the same in the game. Players who were encouraged would become excited, determined, and fearless.
The American server currently didn't have any experts who had entered the Holy Domain. This was their sore point.
… …
"Ling Xue, go tear down that equipment shop and kill the NPCs. Bing Cha, go kill the material merchants!" I ordered from afar.
"Then what are you doing?" Ling Xue asked.
"I'm going to talk to the class trainer!"
"OMG …"
Ling Xue charged into the equipment shop, and the Ice Whirlwind Sword exploded. The equipment mechanic pulled out an iron sword and shouted, "Dammit, I'll let you have a taste of death!"
Puchi!
The Ice Sealing Slash fell, and the NPC tasted death first.
On the other side, Bing Cha strode into the material shop and tapped the ground with one foot. Thunder energy exploded and almost burned the shop to the ground.
I summoned Ling Er and went to the class training center. This was a place where players could advance their classes and learn new skills. In the huge training hall, the Level 255 elite warrior trainers, archer trainers, mage trainers, and so on let out hateful roars and swarmed me.
These were the American trainers, so I didn't need to show them any mercy. I pulled out my sword and slashed at them. Although my level wasn't as high as theirs, my attack power was far higher than these NPCs'. More importantly, I was in Cyclone Transformation, so a Domain Shield could last me for a long time. Killing this NPC was even easier.
I killed one with each step, unstoppable for a thousand miles.
I pulled out my sword beautifully, sheathed it elegantly, and turned to leave. I didn't leave my name, hiding my strength and name.
… …
When I walked out the door, Ling Xue and Bing Cha walked out. I asked, "Are you done?"
"Yes!
What about you? "
"Yes."
Bing Cha asked, "What's next?"
I said, "Next?
Ling Xue and I are going to the Royal Guards' barracks. Bing Cha, you should log off and rest. It hasn't been a month yet, you can't be too tired. "
Bing Cha shook his head and smiled. "It's fine. My body is good, and I'm recovering well. I've only been online for an hour, and you're chasing me away? You don't want to play anymore?"
"Then let's go to the barracks together. Killing NPCs gives more points. Do you want to be the MVP of the Nation War?"
"Hehe, of course, of course!"
"Then let's kill as many as we can!"
I smiled. In the last Battle of Clear Breeze City, a mage of the American server had won the MVP title. I didn't know what kind of benefits he had gotten, but the Dark Knight Dark Roar was supposed to be the MVP. Unfortunately for him, I killed that unlucky bastard and sent him straight to Level 255. He even learned Cyclone Transformation.
And so, I spurred my Blazing Warhorse and galloped toward the NPC barracks with the two girls. This was originally China territory, so we were pretty familiar with the terrain.
"Where are you going, Scholar?"
Dragon Soul cut down the noob in front of him. He turned around and saw us. He shouted at the top of his lungs.
"We're going to kill the NPC Royal Guards!" I said.
Dragon Soul immediately replied, "Just the three of us?
Why don't we send another thousand or so people? "
"No need, we're all first-rate experts. We'll definitely succeed!!" Bing Cha said with a smile.
Dragon Soul didn't say anything else. "Okay, go. Leave the killing to us."
… …
At a corner of Clear Breeze City, a large number of NPC soldiers were surging out. They were all Level 255 elites, and their Attack and Defense were average. At the very least, to me, Ling Xue, and Bing Cha, they were solid experience points.
Ling'Er danced in the air and unleashed a Meteor Storm.
Ling Xue also released the Wind Spirit Beast, and a large gust of cold wind flew out. Ice Tea summoned the Dragon Turtle, and the green turtle stretched out its head. Ice Qi flowed in all directions, and it spat out an ice and snow whirlpool.
I charged into the crowd and swung my sword wildly. Blood rained everywhere I went. Ancient Sword Scarlet Heavens was so sharp that these NPCs couldn't even defend themselves.
Suddenly, I heard a dragon roar.
I looked up and saw a dozen or so Dragon Knights flying toward me!
