Thousand Ton Break ignored Magic Shields and dealt a Strength attack to the target mage. Even though Lin Rao was a Grand Magus Saint, his physique was still incredibly weak. He only had around 5000 Strength at most. At the current stage of the game, an eighth-promotion mounted player would have at least 8000 Strength after putting all their stat points into Strength. Even against a Level 280 boss like Lin Rao, he could still deal over 120k damage. Moreover, there was the 20% health steal effect.
… …
It was drizzling, and the red maple leaves were swaying in the wind. We could only watch the battle from the top of the hill, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
"Should we charge down and kill them?" Lin Yixin asked with a blink.
I hurriedly shook my head. "No, we're on good terms with Warsky Alliance during the Nation War, and it's not a good time to turn against them right now. Let's negotiate with them first, and it'll be best if we can get the boss. Otherwise, it won't be too late to attack …"
He Yi's lips curled into a smile. "Aren't you two a little too arrogant? I can't believe you're talking about attacking them like this. October Rain has at least 300 players, and Warsky, Farewell Song and Laughing At The Heavens are coming from the valley entrance with at least 500 players as well. Warsky Alliance has sent over a thousand players to the Dragon Domain, so our chances of winning aren't very high …"
I said confidently, "Our chances are pretty good if we ambush them. Xuanyuan Slash and Soaring Dragon are more than enough to wipe out a hundred-man party in an instant. They won't be able to react in time no matter how fast they are. If you and Yiyi use your Ancient Divine Skills, you should be fine as long as Farewell Song, Lin Bing Dou Zhe, and Warsky don't target you …"
Beiming Xue rolled her eyes at me. "Farewell Song's movement speed is like a ghost, and you know how good he is. No one in our party other than you is confident that they can beat him …"
I spread my hands and smiled. "To be honest, Farewell Song has the Milky Way Transformation, and my Dark Pupils can't see through his invisibility. If he ambushes me or traps me, I'll probably be stunned until I die. Anything is possible …"
"Yeah …"
"That's why we should negotiate with them first. I'm sure Warsky and October Rain will give us some face …"
"Sure, go ahead …"
“OK！”
…
Carrying Coldness of the Nine States, I flipped over a huge rock on a hill and landed lightly on the ground. My cloak fluttered behind me as I sheathed Coldness of the Nine States. Then, I walked down the hill with large strides. The Dragon Suppressing Armor, which had transformed into the Divine Dragon Armor, gave the Asura King's dark and sinister aura a touch of sunshine. Otherwise, just my Dark Pupils alone would have scared away a lot of people. Also, I activated the glow of my equipment, causing all my Saint, God, and Immortal equipment to shine with dazzling light. As long as one wasn't blind, they could basically tell that I was a top-tier expert with a single glance.
Lin Bing Dou Zhe slid a couple of steps forward with his sword in hand before saying, "What the fuck? Why is Lu Chen here?
Sister Rain, Lu Chen is here. What should we do?
If Lu Chen is here, then From Water, Lin Yixin, and Beiming Xue might be here as well. This is going to be bad! "
Hundred Battler was also holding his sword. He had lost 500k + HP to the boss's Fireball, so he said while chugging a health potion, "We're down to 35% HP already, and we've lost dozens of brothers. We can't let anyone else take this boss away from us! Sister Rain, you have to get rid of Lu Chen!"
A trace of unease flashed across October Rain's eyes. "I'll do my best!"
After saying that, October Rain broke away from the battle and walked toward me. Her beautiful lips curled up into a smile as she activated Fire Like Burning Eyes. She glanced at the people around her and said, "Yo, long time no see, handsome Lu Chen. Why are you here today? Why aren't Lin Yixin and Beiming Xue with you?"
I knew that she was testing me, so I replied with a smile, "Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls has a lot of generals, so I don't necessarily have to bring Beiming Xue with me. Also, there are a ton of experts who have entered the Dragon Domain, and I can summon at least a thousand people at my beck and call. Some of them even have Ancient Divine Skills.
October Rain replied with a smile, "Yeah, we came all the way here just for these bosses. Immortal-grade equipment is no longer in demand, and the best equipment in the game right now is Ancient Immortal-grade. The Ancient Immortal Rank bosses here have a low chance of dropping Divine or even Holy Rank equipment, so Warsky Alliance must come to a high-level map like the Dragon Domain if we want to grow stronger."
I continued on my way, brushing past October Rain and heading straight for the boss.
"Hey, do you guys still like to read:!"
October Rain caught up to me and grabbed my wrist. "Why aren't you talking to me, Lu Chen?
Are you telling me that this boss is even better looking than me? "
I stared intently at the Holy Magus Lin Ran and said, "Beauty October Rain, I won't hide it from you, but Lin Yixin and I have accepted a quest that requires us to kill this Lin Ran and obtain his soul essence before we can complete the quest. Therefore, I'd like to discuss this with you. How about giving this boss to Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls?"
October Rain pursed her lips and fell silent. She seemed to know that I would make such a request, but she didn't know how to respond to me.
October Rain didn't say anything. It was Hundred Battler who flew over and growled, "Why should we give the boss to you just because you want it?
Lu Chen, do you really think the Ruins of the Dragon Domain is your backyard? "
I was silent.
Lin Bing Dou Zhe said angrily, "Lu Chen, do you really think Warsky Alliance is a pushover?
Don't go too far! Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls can't always be the strongest guild in the world. Just you wait, we'll replace you sooner or later! "
I remained silent.
A few seconds later, Warsky arrived with Song of Cloud and Water, God Bone, and Song of Ice and Fire. Warsky clenched his fists and rode a dozen or so meters away from me. He didn't dismount from his horse and asked, "Long time no see, Lu Chen. What's wrong?"
I smiled. "Warsky, the boss you're killing is my quest boss, and I need the quest item to turn in the quest. If you kill this boss and the quest item doesn't drop, I'm afraid we'll fail the quest."
Warsky smiled. "I see!"
He paused for a moment before continuing, "But as you can see, we lost almost a hundred people to kill this bastard holy magus, and they were all elites of Warsky Alliance. The ancient Immortal Rank boss is just too powerful, and I'm willing to do you a favor. However, I have to answer to my comrades who lost their lives. Otherwise, they'll think that I'm cowardly and useless because I'm afraid of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls!"
Warsky didn't look like he was going to back down in the slightest. Once the Nation War was over, the Northern Alliance, the Chaotic 27, the China server, and the Indian server formed a delicate balance, and the guilds within the country began to compete against each other again. Warsky wasn't the kind of person who would be happy to be second to none. His goal was to make Warsky Alliance the ruler of the entire continent, and that was it.
I thought for a moment before saying, "How about this? I'll join your party and help you kill the boss. I'll be the one to deal the final blow, but all the equipment it drops will belong to Warsky Alliance. I only want a Soul Essence, which is useless to you anyway. Also, I'll give each of your comrades 1000 gold as compensation. What do you think?"
Warsky grinned. "Fair enough, but are my comrades' lives only worth 1000 gold?"
I raised my hand and unsheathed Coldness of the Nine States. I stared at Warsky and said coldly, "Don't push me too far. I'm not a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and every gold I have is earned through hard work. 1000 RMB for a level is already a pretty good deal. Do you really think I won't rob you if you push me too far, Warsky?"
"Is that so?"
Warsky grabbed the hilt of his sword and said, "Then why don't you give it a try?"
A warhorse neighed from the top of the hill as He Yi, Lin Yixin, Beiming Xue, Lian Xin and the rest of the girls appeared. They also realized that they were about to turn against each other. In fact, Lian Xin and Beiming Xue were so excited that they activated their Milky Way Transformation and looked like they were about to attack.
Lu Chen and Beiming Xue's T-shirts could be found on Taobao if you searched for "Lost Leaf T-shirt", but they were limited in quantity.
October Rain hurriedly shot Warsky a look when she saw this. At the same time, she moved in front of Warsky with her bow and said with a smile, "Calm down, we can talk things over. Lu Chen, if you really want to kill this boss, you'll compensate each of our players 1000 gold each. Also, I have a request that I'm sorry to make, but I hope that everyone else will read it normally."
I nodded. "Sure, go ahead!"
"Can you train 100 mounted archers for our Mounted Archery Cavalry?"
"No, that's a lot of resources. But if you have your own, I can consider it."
Warsky's eyes lit up. "Are you serious, Lu Chen?
As long as we have our own resources, you can train an unlimited number of mounted archers for our Mounted Archery Cavalry? "
I shook my head. "That's not very likely. Dark Moon City is Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' exclusive castle, and I have no reason to answer to my brothers and sisters if I have to farm an unlimited number of mounts and mounted archers for others. I can only train 100 mounted archers at most, no more!"
Warsky fell silent for a moment. He was a pragmatic person, and he knew what was best for him. If he asked for more, he would have no choice but to fight to the death.
Almost two minutes later, Warsky nodded. "Alright, it's a deal. I'll let you kill the boss, but you can only take the soul essence. The rest of the loot must be left to Warsky Alliance, or our labor will be wasted."
“OK！”
… …
After we came to an agreement, He Yi, Lin Yixin, and the rest of the girls came down from the hill and prepared to help out. I told Pure Love, Murong Mingyue, and Beiming Xue not to participate in the battle because the boss might have a large-scale AOE skill. It would be troublesome if they were one-shot, and if Beiming Xue was killed and the Profound Nether Bow dropped, Warsky would definitely fight for it. Right now, Warsky Alliance's goal was to strengthen themselves as much as possible.
Swhoosh!
I used Thunderous Charge and stunned the Royal Magus instantly. My Purple Frost Infusion and Burning Blade Slash dealt double damage to her, and the boss's HP dropped rapidly. The players of Warsky Alliance stared at me in shock. Hundred Battler stared blankly at me with shock in his eyes. "Fuck, what kind of Attack is this?!"
