“MB！”
The Purple Ying Sword shuddered and transformed into a spiraling storm. The perfect arc of the attack locked down Du Thirteen, High Fighting Spirits, and Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun's backs. My sword was surrounded by spiraling blades, and the dozen or so Wildfire Cavalrymen were sent flying. The critical hits and 5x damage were more than enough to one-shot the Wildfire Cavalrymen. My Agility was pretty high, and my equipment boosted my critical rate by more than 20%. Every four attacks I dealt crit was a pretty good deal to say the least.
"Roar roar …"
A group of Wildfire Cavalrymen fell off their mounts and turned into cold corpses. Moreover, these players couldn't set foot in Purple Grape City during the Nation War. There were so many players gathered at White Rose Fortress that the system had named the Nation War "Battle of Purple Grape City". The reason it wasn't called the Battle of Sky City was because White Rose Fortress had been destroyed, and Floating Ice City had been abandoned. That place no longer belonged to the China server. Everyone else could read it as they normally would.
Red Maple leapt off his horse and bent his body into a bow. He swung out with his sword and immediately clashed with Coiling Dragon Revolution. The parry was a success, and in the blink of an eye, Red Maple's instantaneous APM exceeded 600. It was shocking, and his accuracy was very accurate. He struck the back of the Zi Ying Sword directly.
Chiang!
Coiling Dragon Revolution was knocked back halfway through Coiling Dragon Revolution. However, Red Maple and his sword were sent tumbling backward. My full-powered attack on the Armored Ice Qilin Horse had a lot of Strength, and Red Maple was nowhere near as strong as I was without a mount.
My mount neighed as I sprinted down the steps of the palace. Then, I grabbed the Purple Ying Sword and slammed it into the ground. Five Wildfire Cavalrymen who were charging at me collapsed to the ground in unison. Great Earth Transformation's War Crush was so powerful that they couldn't withstand three hits in a row.
"Thirteen, Fighting Spirits, You and Yun, retreat from the battle and return to the city! I'll hold them off!" I shouted.
Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun immediately activated Flying General, and the three of them and dozens of Dragonlight Cavalrymen flew into the palace hall like lightning. They took out their return scrolls and crushed them.
… …
Red Maple was enraged. He raised his longsword high and shouted, "Archers, shoot at them and interrupt their casting. How dare they destroy our Glacier County. We can't let these audacious Chinese leave alive. Otherwise, where will we, the Japanese players, put our faces?"
Behind him, a group of archers raised their bows.
I saw everything clearly, so I spurred my mount forward. My sword flashed, and two magic knights with low HP instantly fell to the ground. An archer's face turned ashen as he shouted angrily, "That brat wants to kill our archers?
Hurry up and stop him! "
More than 50 Wildfire Cavalrymen immediately launched an attack from my side. Even before they got close to me, they had already formed a cone of fire around their weapons. It was obvious that they were planning to kill me with Barrier Break. Moreover, the few magic knights closest to me raised their arms and cast Trapping Webs from the sky. Fans of the novel loved to read:
Thud thud thud...
I kept my cool and calm the entire time. The scenery around me was no longer a player's view, but a dot matrix. The Trapping Nets' release time, trajectory, and final landing point flashed through my mind as I maneuvered the Armored Ice Qilin Horse in a zigzag pattern, dodging the Trapping Nets one after another. More importantly, I was still able to gather enough energy to launch an attack. Fiery energy floated around my blade as I abruptly changed my original trajectory and cut through the enemy's attack arc. At the same time, I raised my hand and split the Purple Ying Sword into three blazing swords.
I could see the shock in the eyes of the Wildfire Cavalrymen at the front. They definitely didn't think that I would dare to show off my skill and maneuver while being attacked by so many people. Burning Blade Slash exploded into the air, and screams of pain filled the air. Now that I had activated Martial God, my equipment, cards, and the royal city buff, my Attack was unbelievably high. A single Burning Blade Slash was all it took to kill dozens of Wildfire Cavalrymen. Moreover, since they were using Charge, they didn't have to worry about me launching an attack as quickly as I did, so they didn't have a chance to defend themselves at all. It would be strange if they didn't die.
A white light enveloped the area, and the souls of these players had been locked by the system. They wouldn't be able to set foot in Purple Grape City again during the Nation War, and since Japan only had one main city, they would be forced to log out of the game if they died.
Whoosh!
A column of flames suddenly erupted from my side. I didn't manage to dodge it in time, and the attack hit me squarely. A burning pain radiated from my arm, and a damage number of 59023 appeared above my head. I didn't even need to turn around. I spun around and swung the Purple Ying Sword in a spiral.
Chiang chiang!
Sparks flew in the air, and the next two attacks were parried by me. Astonishment flashed across Red Maple's face for an instant. He clearly wasn't expecting me to parry the last two attacks of the Fire God's Triple Slash without turning around. The rest of the readers looked at me like normal.
Swhoosh!
He swung his sword and used Barrier Break. Red Maple's attack wasn't flashy, but it was very practical. The angle and speed of his Barrier Break was extremely fast, and the opponent would have less than 0.15 seconds to react to it. It was no wonder that even players at the level of High Fighting Spirits and Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun couldn't withstand it.
The Purple Ying Sword flashed, and I lowered my body slightly. Then, I abruptly raised my sword and parried Red Maple's Barrier Break with a loud clang. It was a battle of speed! I swung the Purple Ying Sword downward and sent Red Maple flying. Then, I spread my fingers and summoned a bloody cyclone. It was none other than God Binding Art!
"Protect me!"
Red Maple shouted and spread his palms. Then, he used his Divine General Skill Maple Kill and Dragon Whirl of Wind Blades. The two AoE skills instantly engulfed me. Red Maple's attacks were too fast, and I had to dodge the omnipresent Snare Net. Therefore, I had no choice but to take the hit.
“98773！”
“72622！”
My HP instantly dropped below 30%. However, the price Red Maple had to pay for unleashing his killer move on me was that the four divine weapons of the God Binding Art had successfully bound him.
"Quick, protect the guild leader!"
A bunch of God's Domain players surrounded Red Maple. My Coiling Dragon Revolution, Dragon Slaying Slash, and Ancient Seal probably wouldn't be able to one-shot him because he had plenty of priests to heal him. Moreover, Red Maple had a high-level bard's buff, so killing him was going to be incredibly difficult.
The Ancient Divine Dragon was still coiled around my arm. Golden seals flew out of my palm, and 10 Ancient Seals exploded into a group of archers and mages. Screams of agony immediately filled the air. At the same time, I turned around to look at High Fighting Spirits, Du Thirteen and the others. Very good, they had all successfully returned to the city. My mission was complete.
"Red Maple!"
I abruptly changed directions and charged toward Red Maple. If I could kill the number one player of the Japan server right here and now, it would be a huge blow to Purple Grape City's morale. Without their spiritual leader, Purple Grape City wouldn't be able to fight back against the iron hooves of China's cavalry.
I raised my arm and summoned my avatar and the Phantom Wolf King. It was a three-pronged attack. My avatar and I were using Coiling Dragon Revolution + Dragon Slaying Slash, and I had an extra Ancient Seal. The Phantom Wolf King was using Purgatory Storm to attack Red Maple!
Boom boom boom!
Sand flew and dust flew in the city. The six skills fell and killed in succession. None of the Wildfire Cavalry around Red Maple were spared!
Red Maple had less than 10% HP left in the dust, and he was clearly in a defensive stance. At the same time, holy light flashed all over his body as he healed himself. Not far away, a group of God Domain players was charging toward me again. It was the JGL Hall of Famer Hot Blood Vortex and Blue Frost. Moreover, the super assassin Purple Thunder was about 25 yards away from me thanks to my Dark Pupils. This group of experts was going to be very difficult to deal with!
Thud!
Suddenly, a net covered me and prevented me from moving for a short period of time. Red Maple's gaze was calm as he shouted, "Kill!"
Unfortunately for him, a golden shield of light appeared around me. It was the Dragon God Shield's Divine Dragon Protection that granted me invincibility for 25 seconds.
I stared at Red Maple and the ruined Glacier County for a moment before smiling coldly. "Red Maple, remember how arrogant you were when you destroyed Floating Ice City? This is only the first time I'm taking revenge on you. Stay in Purple Grape City and wait for the China players to descend upon us again. This time, our revenge will not end until one of us is dead!"
"You!"
Red Maple gritted his teeth so hard that they almost broke. His eyes were bloodshot, and the first thing he thought of when I was invincible wasn't to attack me. Instead, he backed away and formed a human wall around him. This way, he wouldn't be able to kill me while I was still invincible. The rest of the readers looked at me normally.
I didn't think there was much hope for me, so I immediately crushed a return scroll and smiled proudly at the stunned Purple Grape City players. "Don't think that there's no one left in the China server. If we want Purple Grape City, we can come and take it whenever we want. If you dare to provoke us, then prepare to suffer the consequences. I'll be back!"
Swhoosh!
I transformed into a ray of white light and vanished from Glacier County. The next moment, I appeared at the plaza of Sky City.
… …
Beep!
Hot and Sour Noodles Uncle sent me a message: "Haha, congratulations, Lu Chen. I just saw the system notification. I have to say, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls is truly impressive. You actually managed to ambush Glacier County with such a small number of people. Hahaha, I'm going to go to the CGL committee and ask for credit. This battle was so cool and unexpected!"
At the same time, Warsky also sent me a message: "Haha, well done!"
… …
After I replied to all of them, I looked into the distance. Gui Guzi, Li Chengfeng, Chaos Moon, and a large number of Dragonlight Cavalrymen were already gathered at the plaza of Sky City. Everyone was ready to depart.
It was at this moment the sound of a system announcement reverberated in the air — Ding ~!
