"Lu Chen!"
Behind me, Lu Buyi shouted. I understood what he meant and immediately joined Lu Buyi's party. In the next moment, all my stats were increased by 225%, my HP skyrocketed, and I used a Stalker Card. My max HP immediately soared to 1478 000, and this was without a bard's buff. Otherwise, it would be more than 20 million. This was a number that would make everyone's jaws drop!
Bzzz!
A fiery red light shot into the sky. As expected, Candlelight Shadow had to use Pangu Axe under the 9x damage buff of Dragontooth Arm. Pangu Axe had almost no Defense, and its damage was calculated based on the user's base attack. Candlelight Shadow had a full set of Saint-grade and Lower Divine Weapons, so he could definitely deal more than 2 million damage.
I shook my hand and activated Resurrection Art. If he killed me once, I wouldn't fly back to the city. At the very least, Candlelight Shadow wouldn't be able to accomplish his goal.
My war boots glowed, my Profound Armor activated, and the Xuanyuan Sword in my hand glowed with the light of Burning Blade Slash. If he wanted to go all out, then I would go all out.
… …
"Lu Chen, die!"
Candlelight Shadow's eyes burned with hatred. He clearly hated me, the man who had dragged him down from the throne of the Martial God. Today, he would use Dragontooth Arm to take back what he had lost!
Crimson light rolled down from the sky. Pangu Axe covered a vast area, and I couldn't dodge it at all. I had no choice but to take it head-on!
Boom!
My body shuddered as a huge damage number flew above my head.
“10393065！”
I gritted my teeth in anger. Right now, Candlelight Shadow was a terrifying person. If he used a critical hit, I would be one-shot as well. Moreover, this was under the condition that I had the Divine Cloak, so 50% of the damage would miss. If it was anyone else, they would be able to deal at least 20 million basic damage. No one would be able to take that!
I broke through the waves of heat and swung the Xuanyuan Sword at Candlelight Shadow like a bolt of lightning. Crack crack crack! Three flaming sword beams pierced through Candlelight Shadow's armor and dealt three high damage to him. Not only did I heavily injure Candlelight Shadow, I also absorbed a lot of HP for myself.
“719377！”
“801823！”
“1029874！”
My Cloud Soaring Boots smashed into Candlelight Shadow's chest with a loud bang. Candlelight Shadow staggered backward as I raised the Xuanyuan Sword. My true killing move was coming. It was the SSS Rank Ancient Divine Skill, Xuanyuan Slash!
"Oh no!"
Candlelight Shadow hurriedly summoned his Fire Dragon and leaped onto its back. He was just about to take off into the sky.
The light of Xuanyuan Slash instantly descended upon Candlelight Shadow, but I increased the speed of my channeling. My sword energy slammed heavily into Candlelight Shadow's dragon's back, sending him crashing to the ground. That wasn't all. Candlelight Shadow's Horned Beast Cavalry behind him were also hit by a high amount of splash damage. In the blink of an eye, a whole bunch of them were dead or injured, and Candlelight Shadow had taken a whopping 2.74 million damage. His total HP was around 12 million or so, so he didn't feel any pressure at all. Thankfully, I hadn't used my 7x damage, or else he would've been one-shot.
There was no hope of one-shotting Candlelight Shadow, so I turned around and fired three Ancient Seals at Candle Dragon's shield formation. The magic knights shuddered violently as their HP plummeted. Their faces turned pale as they shouted, "Priests, heal us! We can't hold on much longer!"
A beautiful figure descended from the sky before I could finish my sentence. It was Lin Yixin, who had ascended to godhood. Five God's Tears fell from the sky as she opened her palm and killed a bunch of enemies.
… …
"Kill them! Mages, go!"
At the distance, Ye Yuse raised her scepter and commanded the battle.
Fireball, Touch of the Dragon's Kiss, Galaxy Storm and so on rained down on me and Lin Yixin in a row. However, the damage numbers were just as scary as they looked.
“31980！”
“1！”
“MISS！”
“1！”
“45！”
… …
Only the ninth-promotion players could penetrate my Defense. As for the Level 230 + mages, their equipment wasn't very good, so their magic attacks missed completely. In fact, they didn't even lose 1 HP. This was the effect of a god-tier player's extraordinary physique. They could greatly reduce the damage dealt by players with low Attack!
Lin Yixin's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the damage she had taken.
I was much calmer now. This was the reason why I said that god-tier players would be the leaders of future Nation Wars. Unless it was a player of equal strength, no one would be able to break through your Defense. Before I ascended, a Level 230 mage would deal at least 4000 damage to me with the Touch of the Dragonkiss. But now, I would only deal 50 damage at most or even 1 damage. This was the difference. In a chaotic battle, god-tier players' survivability would be greatly enhanced!
… …
"Yiyi, we're retreating!"
Ye Yuse and God's Dance were slowly approaching us, and Transient Smoke and Clouds was itching to attack as well. Candlelight Shadow was glaring at us with bloodthirst in his eyes. They were plotting to kill me and Lin Yixin right here and now. We could ignore everyone else's attack power, but Candlelight Shadow's 9x damage was just too terrifying. It was best to avoid him!
Thud thud!
Lin Yixin and I left two whirlwinds behind us as we charged toward the direction of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. My sword flashed past the crowd of Candle Dragon players, and when we came to a stop, we were already hovering above a group of Dragonlight Cavalrymen.
Since Love and Moon were about to buff me, I hurriedly said, "Don't buff me yet. Love and Moon should buff High Fighting Spirits first. I don't need that bit of health, so make him go berserk!"
"Mn mn!"
Pure Love waved her scepter and in the next instant, all sorts of buffs appeared on High Fighting Spirits' body. He raised his battle axe and charged into the crowd. His axe spun and his Whirlwind Slash opened up a bloody path. The Horned Beast Cavalry definitely couldn't stop a player of this level. Moreover, after all these buffs, High Fighting Spirits' total HP had exceeded 10,000,000. Coupled with the 11% lifesteal from his other equipment, it was more than enough for him to protect himself!
In the air, Li Chengfeng asked, "How should we fight this? Candle Dragon is at the front, and Warsky Alliance is at the back. If we attack Candle Dragon with everything we have, Warsky Alliance will definitely attack us. Fuck, Warsky has been declaring war on us for a long time now!"
I sucked in a deep breath before replying, "Don't worry, this is a trial. Calm down, we can afford to lose!
Eve, Little Gui, Chaos Moon, Lian Xin, and You Yun will attack Candle Dragon from the front. Chengfeng, you, Beiming, Fighting Spirits, Heaven's Rain, and Diamond Dust will lead 20k Dragonlight Cavalrymen and counterattack Warsky Alliance's formation. It would be best if you can get Warsky's Longevity Blade for me! "
Li Chengfeng chuckled. "Okay, I understand!
Third and fourth platoons, follow me. We're going to meet the number two guild of Sky City, Warsky Alliance … "
I looked into the distance and asked, "Yiyi, when will your people arrive?"
"In ten minutes!"
"Mn. When the time comes, tell Purple Marquis and his men to ambush Warsky Alliance from the back. Once they drop 20% of their equipment, Warsky will cry his eyes out!"
"Mn, I'm not leaving. I'll fight Candle Dragon with you and find a chance to one-shot Candlelight Shadow!"
"Okay!"
… …
Lu Buyi took the initiative to add Lin Yixin, He Yi, Chaos Moon, and the other core players to his party. The 225% boost to all stats was our advantage, and we needed to suppress Candle Dragon with it. Otherwise, it would be difficult to win. After all, there were at least 100k Candle Dragon players here, and we only had tens of thousands of elites.
Boom!
My sword energy swept across the area and engulfed the Candle Dragon players at the front row. I raised my sword high into the air and swung the Xuanyuan Sword down. This was the guild alliance attack mode. The Sky Alliance and Candle Dragon players lost 70% of their HP in a 1000-yard battle.
Blue Sky Scar's eyes were as wide as saucers. "Fuck, it's the Xuan-Yuan Sword's effect! That's the number one weapon of the Twelve Divine Armaments! It's way too f * cked up! Everyone, don't retreat! Priests, keep healing and drink your own health potions!
Chaos Moon chuckled as she spurred her mount forward. The Imperial Sea Blade in her hand was followed by screams of agony. Given Chaos Moon's level of preparation and the Imperial Sea Blade, her attack was absolutely dominating.
Rock Crush!
The Imperial Sea Blade pierced through dozens of meters and killed a group of magic knights. Chaos Moon was too fast, and her PvP was clean and efficient. She didn't give the enemy a chance to escape at all, and three to five low-health players fell to the ground one after another.
It was at this moment God's Dance Blinked into the enemy crowd and waved her scepter. Fire engulfed the area, and the scepter in her hand seemed to have some tricks up its sleeve. She abruptly turned it over and fired three cones of fire at Chaos Moon's chest, dealing three shocking damage numbers.
“1923877！”
“1726673！”
“1826364！”
A ninth-promotion mage's attack power was nothing to scoff at. Chaos Moon's Magic Resist might not be as high as mine, but it was still one of the best in Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls!
"Chaos Moon, get back! God's Dance's Magic Attack is too high!"
I hurriedly shouted. Chaos Moon leaped backward while cutting down the players around her and using a small amount of lifesteal to heal herself. She was right, a series of arrows were raining down on Chaos Moon. She was in a dire situation.
"God's Dance's scepter is a Lower Divine Weapon. It can summon a special attack spell, so be careful!" He Yi whispered.
I hurriedly turned around and swung the Xuan-Yuan Sword. Go, Coiling Dragon Revolution!
Boom!
The spiraling storm of sword energy tore through a group of players and dealt over two million damage. I was overjoyed when I saw this. In the Purgatory Plane, I only ran into high-level mobs and bosses, and Blade Boomerang couldn't deal more than a million damage. But here, I was surrounded by players. It was at this moment that I realized just how terrifying my attack power was!
"Watch out, Little Dance!"
Candlelight Shadow abruptly dropped down from the Candle Dragon crowd and stood in front of God's Dance. He gripped his sword with both hands and used Shatter Sword Shield to deflect Blade Boomerang's attack. I sucked in a breath of cold air when the Xuan-Yuan Sword returned to me. Candlelight Shadow's Attack and Defense were about the same as mine. This is going to be tough!
