"Watch out!
Activate Invincibility! "
I sprinted toward Luo River God of the Capital, spreading my arms and summoning Profound Armor. No matter how powerful the Dragon Cannon was, it shouldn't be able to one-shot Gui Guzi and He Yi. Luo River God of the Capital was the only one in danger.
Roar!
The Dragon Cannon's energy exploded into a shockwave that engulfed all of us. Pain radiated from my body as a series of shocking damage numbers rose above my head —
“3982777！”
“9018238！”
“10973745！”
“MISS！”
I blocked Luo River God of the Capital's attack, so it was just a MISS. Gui Guzi and He Yi both took almost ten thousand damage each, and even with Profound Armor's three times Defense buff, I still took four million damage. The Dragon Cannon's power was just too shocking. If it could deal so much damage to us, then it would be even worse for the Dragonlight Cavalry.
"Let's go!"
He abruptly grabbed Luo River God of the Capital's arm and leaped into the air with a whoosh. Gui Guzi and He Yi also flew over on their giant dragons. In the distance, Red Maple was chasing after them with all his might. He probably wanted to kill the low health Gui Guzi and He Yi, but Gui Guzi simply swung his Ghostblade Halberd and healed Shennong Tasting Grass to 70% of his HP.
I turned around and threw the Xuanyuan Sword. It was a super long-range ambush of nearly 100 yards!
Swhoosh!
The blade turned into a spiral storm that knocked away Red Maple's parry and penetrated his body. A huge damage number — "2937374" — popped up above his head. At the same time, Red Maple's plan to chase after us was dispelled. If he caught up to us, he would most likely be the one to die!
… …
We flew all the way to the canyon entrance. The battle was still going on.
Beiming Xue asked, "Big bro, what's the situation?"
I frowned. "The Dragon Cannon is ready. We have to break through this defense line in ten minutes and get into the canyon. Spread out and destroy the Dragon Cannon. If they don't, they'll move it to the canyon entrance and kill at least a few thousand of us!"
"Ah, that's insane …"
"Yeah. Little Gui and Eve lost 10,000,000 HP in one shot, and the rest are even worse. Beiming, you'll be one-shot for sure …"
Beiming Xue stuck out her tongue. "So scary …"
On the ground, Moonkiss raised her head and said, "Lu Chen, why are you grabbing our boss? Are you trying to kidnap her?
Or do you want to snatch her back and make her your wife? "
I hurriedly let go of Luo River God of the Capital. "Ahem, you're thinking too much!"
Luo River God of the Capital frowned slightly and said, "Give the order to break through this blockade, or it will be too late."
"En!"
I suddenly pulled out the Xuanyuan Sword and pointed it at the ground. I shouted, "Charge! We must break through this gap in five minutes! Don't care about anything else! Don't be stingy with the cooldown of any skills! Break through!"
After I said that, I landed on the ground and flicked my wrist. The Xuanyuan Sword shone brightly as I activated the Xuanyuan Art. After dealing 70% of the enemy's HP, I followed up with an SSS Rank Ancient Skill, Xuanyuan Slash. A vacuum was created in an instant, and the bluestone grass at the entrance of the canyon was a mess. Corpses were everywhere.
Li Chengfeng, Lin Yixin, and the other god-tier players also descended from the sky. High Fighting Spirits raised his battle axe and led nearly twenty thousand Dragonlight Cavalrymen into the canyon, trampling over the corpses of the Japanese players. It was at this moment that the Japanese server's defense line officially collapsed. God's Domain, Era of Strife, Era of Flying Bird, and other guilds were no match for the super guilds of the China server!
I dashed through the crowd and slashed left and right with the Xuanyuan Sword. Sword energy fell into the crowd and caused blood to splatter everywhere. The combo of Summon the Wind and Summon the Rain + Ancient Seal scared the hell out of the Japanese players. This time, I didn't plan to hold anything back. For the sake of the peace of our country, we had to destroy those Dragon Cannons, or we would suffer greatly.
In the sky, Lin Yixin shouted, "Purple Marquis is leading 70k Snowy Cathaya players into the canyon with the Cast Dragon Cannons, but I'm worried that they won't be able to hold out for long. I'll head over first, so you should meet up with us as soon as possible!"
I nodded. "Got it!"
Swhoosh! Little Pepper disappeared into the horizon. This was a critical moment, and she had to die with the players of Snowy Cathaya. That was the only way she could live up to her role as the guild leader.
… …
The Dragonlight Cavalry swung their swords and cut down the fleeing troops. It didn't take long for us to reach the plains. High Fighting Spirits was charging at the forefront with his battle axe and Xiezhi Howl. He really was a berserk-type general. Red Maple wasn't any weaker than High Fighting Spirits, but there was nothing he could do if High Fighting Spirits led an army of Dragonlight Cavalry and Dragonlight Archers. He didn't dare to get too close to the Dragonlight Archers because Beiming Xue and Nangong Lexi were there to protect them. He would be stunned to death if he got too close to them.
"Crack!"
I cut a thick shield in half and killed the magic knight. Then, I waved my sword and ordered, "The Dragon Cannons are right in front of us. Spread out and form groups of three to five people. The Dragon Cannons have a very wide attack range, so don't let them kill you all in one go!"
Chaos Moon nodded. "Got it!"
The sound of hooves thundered across the plains. The Golden Cavalry of God Domain was completely routed, and a lot of archers and mages were being hunted down by the China players.
"I see it!"
Heaven's Rain pointed her spear to the front. "Look over there! That crimson weapon is the legendary Dragon Cannon, isn't it?"
"Yeah!"
I nodded. "That's not a cannon that uses gunpowder. The cannonball it uses is a container filled with Dragon Power, so it's as powerful as the dragon breath of a Holy Giant Dragon. Be careful, everyone! Split into small groups and flank the Dragon Cannon! Destroy it once you get close!"
… …
Thud!
Red Maple landed lightly on the Dragon Cannon and stared at the dozens of God Domain players operating the cannon. He said, "Move the cannon 3 degrees to the east and fire in 7 seconds!"
Creak …
The cannon slowly moved to the side. The next moment, the ground shook as a fiery red shockwave exploded in the middle of the crowd!
Screams of pain filled the air as at least a hundred Dragonlight Cavalrymen were turned to ash!
"Continue! Attack at will!"
Red Maple's eyes darkened. "Are the other two Dragon Cannons ready? Attack together! Blue Frost, organize our Golden Cavalry and form a 10-yard defense line around the Dragon Cannon! Don't let them get close!"
Blue Frost smiled and nodded. "Got it …"
… …
The Dragon Cannon abruptly turned and aimed at me. It's coming!
I quickly flew forward and raised my left arm. Emperor Ocean Shield appeared in front of me and I activated Profound Armor once more. At the same time, I summoned Fire God Barrier to greatly increase my defense and resistances. Even if this Dragon Cannon was a magic attack, I had to block it!
Red Maple leaped into the air and shouted, "Archers, mages, focus fire on Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand! We must kill this Little Heavenly King of China today! Dragon Cannon, fire three times in a row! Don't waste the Dragon Crystal's energy!"
The air around me felt like it had frozen solid. In the next moment, I saw three Dragon Crystals shoot out of the Dragon Cannon and hit my Emperor Sea Shield. I shuddered and lost three HP in a row. The bloody energy passed through me and hit the Dragonlight Cavalrymen behind me, one-shotting them!
“4128773！”
“4019234！”
“3921938！”
After the three attacks, countless arrows and spells landed on the Emperor Ocean Shield. However, this was nothing. The real killer move was Red Maple's attacks. Raising his head slightly, Red Maple streaked across the sky in a beautiful arc. He raised his sword with both hands and slashed down. Fire God's Triple Strike!
I didn't retreat at all and met him with Burning Blade Slash!
Bang bang bang...
Red Maple shuddered and lost almost 40% of his HP. Sparks flew off my Fire God Flurry when it hit my shield. Unfortunately, Profound Armor + Fire God Barrier was just too high. Red Maple was a god-tier expert, so he couldn't break through it!
“122376！”
“183734！”
“212376！”
Red Maple's pupils abruptly shrank. "Oh no …"
I chuckled and went berserk. Then, I rammed into Red Maple's chest and used Mad God Charge!
"Bang!"
Red Maple retreated a few steps and fell into a temporary stun. He raised the Xuanyuan Sword again and used Xuanyuan Slash, a sure-kill attack!
Red Maple's eyes showed a bit of pain. He clearly didn't want to die here. It was too fucking unfulfilled!
… …
"Bang!"
Fate played tricks on people. I don't know who it was that stunned me so suddenly that I couldn't use Xuanyuan Slash!
Red Maple recovered from the stun and smiled sinisterly. He held his sword horizontally and spread his bloody wings. He had transformed into Milky Way. Was he going to use an ancient divine skill?
As expected, the image of a ferocious tiger's head appeared on the blade of his sword. Red Maple used his full strength and pierced through my body!
“39172674！”
Damn, it hurts. An ancient divine skill took precedence over any equipment and ignored Defense. Profound Armor, Fire God Barrier, invincibility and all other skills were useless in front of an ancient divine skill.
"Die!"
Red Maple cackled and raised his sword high. He was ready to launch his final attack.
Whoosh!
A black shadow attacked me. Red Maple turned around and parried it with his sword. It was a dark green halberd, Li Chengfeng's Green Peak Halberd!
"Get out of my way!"
The Green Peak Halberd swung and used Reverse Scale Slash, forcing Red Maple to retreat.
I hurriedly said, "Chengfeng, help me kill him!"
"Of course, be careful of his invincibility!"
… …
Swhoosh!
I dashed toward him with incredible speed. My fingers glowed brightly, and a bloody chain landed heavily on Red Maple's neck. The Unfettered Chain had successfully locked onto his opponent.
Red Maple looked disheveled and hurriedly activated his invincibility, but it was too late.
"Ancient divine skill!"
Li Chengfeng and I said at almost the same time. Scarlet Heaven Slash + Xuanyuan Slash intersected, and Red Maple fell to his knees with a painful groan. Even a godly player had to die!
Splash splash splash...
Not only did he lose 10 levels, his equipment drop rate increased by 300%. Red Maple's body was still wearing metal armor, boots, and weapons. His helmet, legguards, wristguards, necklace, and rings had all dropped!
"Chengfeng, go pick up the loot. I'm going to take down the Dragon Cannon!"
With a leap, I charged towards the direction of the Dragon Cannon with my sharp blade.
Li Chengfeng stood there in a daze. "Ugh, I think … I got lucky …"
