"Watch out, the Soul Slayer's shield has an Ignore skill that allows him to ignore all physical attacks for 15 seconds!"
Li Chengfeng said worriedly, "We only have one chance. Once the Soul Slayer activates his shield skill, we might not be able to kill him. Lian Xin's Magic Attack is very powerful, but it'll be very difficult for her to one-shot the Soul Slayer's 10,000,000 + HP!"
I nodded slightly. "It's fine, leave it to me!
Eve, you're the one who's going to launch the attack and lure the Soul Slayer away from Blood Soul's group. Chengfeng and I will flank him from both sides. Little Gui, Beiming, get ready to pin him down. Lian Xin, charge up your strongest combo! "
In the air, Lian Xin smiled. "Don't worry, big bro. I still have a single-target attack skill that I haven't used yet. If Beiming's Shock Arrow hits, I'll one-shot the Soul Slayer!"
"Mn!"
… …
The Snow Crystal Dragon let out a long cry. The beautiful guild master had already rushed out with the Fire Suppressing Sword in hand. She waved her longsword in the air, and Storm Slash wreaked havoc in the crowd. The Soul Slayer bore the brunt of the attack. His body trembled, and he lost 12% of his health.
Looking up at He Yi, the Soul Slayer gritted his teeth and growled, "Heal me to full health!
That's … that's the guild leader of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls! Hmph, let's kill this beautiful woman and leave Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls without a leader! Knights, follow me! "
To our surprise, the Soul Slayer wasn't just chasing after He Yi himself, he was also bringing four Level 255 elite Blood Soul Knights with him. They were all well-equipped, and by the looks of it, they all had at least a Basic Rank Divine Equipment. According to the game, a player with a Divine Equipment was a god-tier warrior. The Soul Slayer seemed to be making it difficult for us to kill him.
The wings of the Snow Crystal Dragon carried the mist of the wind as it turned around and flew back in the night sky!
The Soul Slayer spurred his green dragon and smiled sinisterly. "You want to leave?
Dream on! Even if it's such a beautiful woman, this daddy can still do it!! "
"Icicle Slayer!"
With a deep roar, the Soul Slayer swung his longsword, creating a huge icicle blade that fell from the sky and landed directly on He Yi's shoulder. Immediately, He Yi suffered a heavy blow. The destructive effect of this skill was very strong, causing He Yi to fall together with the Snow Crystal Dragon. When they fell to the ground, countless dust flew up.
"Die!
“
The Soul Slayer glided down, and the Four Horsemen followed closely behind. They all raised their arms and shot out several traps at He Yi, locking her in place and preventing her from moving for 5.4 seconds.
"Go!"
I hollered and held the Xuanyuan Sword upside down. "Peng!" I stepped on the air and broke through the air. I flew toward the Soul Slayer like lightning and struck him with all my strength!
"Bang …"
Air surged and divine power splashed everywhere. In a contest of strength, I was able to send both the Soul Slayer and his dragon flying. My sword also missed its target, and I grabbed the Soul Slayer's neck. Then, I leaped onto the dragon's back and thrust the Xuanyuan Sword at its abdomen. Crack! It broke through the dragon's armor and unleashed Burning Blade Slash!
Unexpectedly, one of the Four Horsemen on the flank spread his arms and transformed into a human figure that enveloped the Soul Slayer. "Guardian Soul!" he bellowed.
“2717263！”
“3172376！”
“3981771！”
… …
My sure-kill attack had been completely blocked by that knight. He was a HP and Defense knight, and he still had 25% HP left. Not to mention that the Soul Slayer was still under the effect of Protection Soul.
The Soul Slayer raised his fist angrily. "Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand, you despicable bastard!"
The Soul Slayer's fist connected with my shoulder with a loud bang, but it only dealt a measly 40k damage. That being said, the Soul Slayer's body immediately reared back after the punch. Then, he turned his sword around and slashed twice at me. One of them was a Barrier Break, a skill that ignored most of my Defense.
I raised the Imperial Ocean Shield and swung it horizontally. The Barrier Break was broken just like that. Then, I raised the Xuanyuan Sword and activated the skill — Xuanyuan Art!
Swhoosh!
The Soul Slayer's face turned purple. The moment he lost 70% of his HP, he let out a shout and covered himself in green light. A huge chunk of his HP was healed in an instant —
“+6799774！”
God damn, 50% HP recovery! What a powerful skill!
Beside me, Li Chengfeng and Gui Guzi were fighting the three knights. Suddenly, Beiming Xue's voice came from the guild channel. "Big bro, get out of the way! You can't one-shot him! Let me and Little Xin try!"
The corner of my lips curled up into a smile. The Soul Slayer was caught off guard. "What's wrong?"
His legs exerted force, and with a bang, he left the green dragon's head and soared into the sky.
A blood-red arrow flew toward me the moment I left the battlefield!
The Soul Slayer's body shook violently, and he was immediately stunned by the Shock Arrow. The stun lasted for 1.9 seconds, and he glided down to the ground. His face was deathly pale, because he could already see the beautiful female Mage in the sky next to the Fire Phoenix. She was holding her staff, and the air around her was dancing. She gritted her teeth, and her mana skyrocketed. That was the effect of Mana Storage for Mages.
The Soul Slayer wasn't a noob. He knew that the game relied on either channeling skills or accumulating energy. Any skill that could be exposed to the outside world was OP.
The Soul Slayer's Energy Accumulation skill lasted 2.1 seconds. The moment the Soul Slayer recovered from the stun, Lian Xin pointed her scepter at him and shouted, "Shadow of Ice Soul!"
Swhoosh! An icicle in the shape of a trident flew toward the Soul Slayer!
Puchi!
The icicle hit the Soul Slayer's chest like a hot knife through butter. The Soul Slayer's eyes widened in disbelief as his HP dropped to rock bottom. He never thought that a mage's single-target attack could be this powerful —
“9262557！”
It was an odd amount of damage, not a critical hit. This Shadow of Ice Soul really was scary. Lian Xin's 2.1 seconds of Energy Accumulation was definitely worth it!
Moreover, the real damage was over 4 million, but Lian Xin had the Soul Fright Bell, which boosted her magic damage by 100%. The Soul Slayer could only blame himself for being unlucky!
"Ding!"
System Announcement: All players, please be informed that player "Lian Xing" (China) has successfully killed the Heroic Bannerman "Soul Slayer" (UK) and obtained 10% of his Nation War points — 70377!
… …
"Well done, Little Xin!"
I laughed out loud and charged forward. I floated above Soul Slayer's corpse and shouted, "Blood Soul Guild members, listen up. Your guild leader, Soul Slayer, is dead. Either put down your weapons and surrender, or we will kill all of you. No one will be spared!"
The players in front of me were stunned by what they saw. They couldn't believe their eyes —
"That's impossible! Boss Soul Slayer is an SSS Rank Ancient Divine Skill! There's no way he could've died! There's no way he could've died!!"
"China will lose, we won't lose, and boss won't die …"
"But the notification of the system bell …"
"It must be an illusion! It can't fool us!"
The group of people was already in chaos.
Li Chengfeng, who had killed two of the three knights in a row, said in a dumbfounded tone, "Lu Chen, I don't think it'll make a difference even if you threaten them with the Soul Slayer's head."
I replied, "It's fine, I don't plan to do anything. I just want to confuse them so that we can reduce our losses and kill these Blood Soul survivors …"
"Mn!"
… …
The Blood Soul guild hadn't completely collapsed despite the Soul Slayer's death. They were a super guild with almost 2 million players after all, and the vice leader took over command after their guild leader was dead. Li Chengfeng, Lian Xin and I killed the vice leader one after another, and the legion took their place. In the end, even the seven legion commanders were killed by us, and when it was time for the chiliarchs to take command, the guild became even more disorganized.
They fought from midnight to dawn in the game. When the first ray of light pierced through the clouds and shone on the bronze statue at the top of the Fortress of the Iron Halberd, after three hours of killing, the Blood Soul Guild was almost completely annihilated. They did not retreat and fought until the very last moment. Almost two million people died in battle.
A thick stench of blood permeated the air. I held the Xuanyuan Sword and swept across the battlefield. I still had to keep some of the better equipment. I swept my gaze across the pile of corpses and found a ring that glowed with a strange light. I picked it up and took a look. Tsk tsk, this was an Ancient Celestial Weapon with 71% attack power and an 8% lifesteal effect that could be stacked. Good stuff, this was at least 50k RMB!
I happily tossed it into my bag. Not far away, Stranger of Three Lifetimes raised her scepter and commanded a group of Blazing Hot Lips cavalry to clean up the battlefield. She shouted, "Hurry up, everyone! We only have ten minutes! Retreat to the fortress after that, or we'll be turned into porcupines by the next wave of attackers!"
Xu Yang, Chaos Moon and Heaven's Rain walked toward me with serious expressions on their faces. They didn't look excited at all after the great battle.
I knew why, so I asked, "How is it? Tell us about our losses after this battle."
Xu Yang nodded and said in a low voice, "Blood Soul is very strong, and they attacked the fortress when we weren't 100% prepared. Our losses are far greater than the last battle. Almost all of the Black Wolf Cavalry in our main guild and 29 subguilds are dead, and the Thunder Cavalry is left with 100k or so Black Wolf Cavalry. As for the other classes, we lost 270k or so, so our total casualties are over 400k, or more than 20% of our players. The 11th, 17th and 21st subguilds are all dead!"
I sucked in a deep breath. "Got it …"
Stranger of Three Lifetimes curled her lips. "I say, we should ask for reinforcements from the commander-in-chief. Otherwise, we won't have anyone left to fight the next wave. Right now, Blazing Hot Lips has lost 40% of our players online."
I nodded. "Got it, Momo."
It was at this moment a series of bells reverberated in the air. It came from the direction of the Great Wall of Despair —
"Ding!"
