Swhoosh!
The Dragonlight Cavalry abruptly came to a halt as a dazzling beam of sword light exploded in the middle of a group of players. It stunned a bunch of them and caused a ton of damage numbers to rise above their heads —
“3102882！”
“2987261！”
“2488727！”
… …
I gaped at the scene. I didn't know when, but Tear Stain was hovering in the air with 100% HP. She was glowing with the energy of an ancient divine skill, and she had hit almost 200 Dragonlight Cavalrymen with her Taowu Slash. Blood splashed everywhere, and the critical hit had killed dozens of players!
That wasn't all. A towering figure was standing above Tear Stain. It was none other than Vienna's Sorrow!
"Fuck!"
I gritted my teeth and said, "Vienna's Sorrow and Tear Stain are coming our way. Yiyi, Momo, Little Xin, get ready to kill them. I'll go first, you guys wait for an opportunity!"
Vienna's Sorrow's lips curled into a smile that bordered on madness. "You sure are ruthless, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand. Are you trying to swallow all three of our northern cities in one go?
Do you really think the players of the North American server are just decorations?
Today, none of you will leave this place alive! All of you will die! "
Chiang!
Vienna's Sorrow slowly unsheathed the longsword on his back. This time, it wasn't the Black Blade, a Medium Divine Weapon. Instead, it was a longsword surrounded by wind energy that rivaled the Longevity Blade. It was one of the Twelve Divine Weapons, the Absolute Wind Blade. Its stats were hidden, and it had always been a mysterious weapon. Our understanding of the Absolute Wind Blade was almost zero!
"Add me to the party …" I said in a low voice. It didn't take long for Lin Yixin to add me to the party. It looked like going to Hero City to commit regicide right now wasn't going to be possible. We would have to fight Hero Alliance head-on in front of the imperial palace at Titan City!
I shot Tear Stain a glance after I buffed her and said in a low voice, "I'll take the initiative to attack Tear Stain. Dragonlight Cavalry, prepare your Trapping Net and use it to catch Vienna's Sorrow the moment he starts to descend. Momo, get ready to freeze them with Ice Blast. Little Xin, use your Origin Force Field to control Vienna's Sorrow's movements!"
The girls nodded in unison.
Gripping the Xuanyuan Sword tightly, I abruptly vanished into the distance and accelerated toward Tear Stain. Then, I swung my sword and executed Burning Blade Slash three times in a row. At the same time, I shouted angrily, "Tear Stain, are you abandoning Burning City?
How dare they intercept us here! "
Tear Stain's eyes were filled with determination. "I can't let the Northern Alliance be destroyed!"
Our swords clashed, and sparks flew everywhere. Tear Stain swung her arm and activated Bright Sky Realm, while I dealt 70% of her HP with the Xuanyuan Art. Tear Stain and Vienna's Sorrow weren't the only ones who were hit. Even the Hero Alliance players who were rushing over from the teleportation formation square were hit as well!
Absolute Zero Freeze!
Tear Stain's Freeze skill had arrived. She flashed and fired an Ice Blade Slash at me from the other side. It looked like she was going to attack me from both sides, leaving me no room to maneuver!
My body loosened and I dropped to the ground. At the same time, I shouted in the party channel, "Little Xin!"
An Origin Force Field appeared in the air, and Tear Stain was caught off guard. She crashed head-on into it and lost almost 100k HP as she fell to the ground. Her silver war boots danced in the air as she charged toward me in a zigzag pattern. At the same time, a large number of Hero Alliance players surged toward me from behind. The Northern Alliance wouldn't be able to rest easy as long as I wasn't dead. They already knew that my Teleportation God Stone was the only reason they could save their city from this Nation War.
… …
Inside the party channel, I muttered, "Don't attack yet, Yiyi. I'm going to lure Tear Stain over and kill her together!"
The Beheading Wind Sword in Lin Yixin's hand swayed as she immediately retreated.
Behind me, Tear Stain's Quintuple Slash landed on my back. A string of damage numbers popped up above my head, and I lost over 5 million HP in one go. I turned around and swung my sword in an arc, but Tear Stain managed to dodge it. Her third attack was Barrier Break. This girl's killing intent is too heavy!
A blade of wind swept toward me from the side. It was incredibly cold!
A quick glance told me that it was Vienna's Sorrow's attack. The Wind Death Blade was wrapped in a gale, and he had activated Ares' Smile the God Slayer, an SSS Rank ancient divine skill. Violent Triple Slash was imbued with the Wind Death Blade's attack effect, and it was so fast that I didn't even have a chance to parry it, not to mention that Tear Stain was right in front of me!
"Lu Chen, watch out!"
Stranger of Three Lifetimes hurled an Ice Blast at me from afar, but it didn't work. The two god-tier players' resistances were just too high!
I activated Profound Armor and dodged Vienna's Sorrow's attack with Sovereign Ocean Shield!
Bang, bang, bang...
The intense sounds of the attacks shook my shield and my health dropped by a large amount. All three of them were critical hits. Moreover, the Wind End Blade's [Fierce Wind] effect largely ignored my [Mysterious Armor]. Even my triple Defense was of no use — —
“5098730！”
“5428892！”
“5827728！”
… …
I checked to see that I still had a sliver of HP left in me. Ice Flame Slash!
In a moment of desperation, I kicked the Wind Death Blade with one foot and used the momentum to bounce back. Then, I pressed my left hand against the stone floor of the palace and launched myself away from the ground. My Ice Flame Slash smashed into the ground and created a huge crater in the ground. At the same time, Vienna's Sorrow raised his Wind Death Blade and let out a roar. Dust flew into the air as he activated his Wind Death Blade skill — Desperate Gale!
It was a skill similar to Thunderstorm, and it engulfed almost every China player on the battlefield. The moment I activated Tenacity of the Dead and Dragon Bloodline, I shuddered and lost over 4.9 million HP. Even with my high resistances, I still lost that much HP. Behind me, almost 2000 Dragonlight Archers and a thousand Dragonlight Cavalrymen were one-shot. It was a terrible loss!
"Now's the time!"
I charged toward Tear Stain and pressed my fingers against her abdomen. Divine energy swirled around me, and a bloody chain appeared between us. Tear Stain's beautiful eyes widened as she stared at me. "You're so cruel, Lu Chen!!"
I didn't say anything. Instead, I rammed myself into Tear Stain's chest and activated Mad God's Charge!
"Bang!"
Tear Stain stumbled backward and lost a huge chunk of HP. She was stunned and didn't even have a chance to activate her invincibility skill!
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in the air as Lin Yixin activated Gan Jiang Mo Xie and swung her Windcutter Sword toward Tear Stain. The Ice Flame Slash devoured Tear Stain's body, and I followed it up with a follow-up attack!
“418727！”
Tear Stain slowly fell to her knees. Gritting her teeth, she looked up at me and said, "I will remember everything that happened today. I will remember it for the rest of my life!"
I lost 10 levels and the system bell rang —
"Ding!"
System Announcement: All players, please be informed that player "Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand" (China) has successfully killed the Heroic Bannerman "Tear Stain" (Korea) and obtained 10% of her Nation War contribution points — 597161!
… …
Tear Stain also dropped more than half of her equipment. I raised my foot and tossed them into the Dragonlight Cavalry. They picked them up and equipped them immediately.
"Now, it's time to kill Vienna's Sorrow!"
I glanced at the palace entrance and said, "Momo, take a party to the palace and lure the king out. We'll kill him from the outside!"
"Got it!"
Vienna's Sorrow immediately retreated several hundred meters after his attack failed. He commanded a group of Hero Alliance players to charge at the China players, but my teleportation point was right in front of the palace. They could only watch as Stranger of Three Lifetimes and the Dragonlight Cavalry charged into the palace.
"Charge! Break through their defenses! We must protect Titan City!"
Vienna's Sorrow's eyes were bloodshot. He raised his Wind End Blade and roared, "Hero Alliance will not accept such humiliation! If Hero City, Titan City, and Seven Star City fall to the enemy and become China's vassals, I, Vienna's Sorrow, will be the first to object! I will delete my account as an apology! The entire Hero Alliance will do the same! We are the guardians of our cities!
Vienna's Sorrow's encouragement caused everyone to charge forward. I looked at Lin Yixin and said with a smile, "Yiyi, use Flurry in three minutes and break Vienna's Sorrow's heart!"
Lin Yixin nodded with a smile. "Got it!"
… …
Stranger of Three Lifetimes and a group of players charged out from behind me. Behind them was a king wielding a battle axe. As expected, the king of Titan City had been lured out. A Quasi God Rank boss wasn't too difficult to deal with.
"Dragonlight Archers, focus fire and stun him!"
Stranger of Three Lifetimes took the initiative to command. Over 30% of the Dragonlight Archers were Level 255 experts, so their stun rate was incredibly high. A few hits later, the king was stunned repeatedly and his HP was dropping rapidly.
Vienna's Sorrow was furious. "God dammit, no!"
… …
"Vienna's Sorrow's heart is in chaos …" I said in a trembling voice, "Yiyi, now is the time!"
Vienna's Sorrow was the first to act. He let out an angry roar and slashed at the center of the Dragonlight Cavalry with Thousand Ton Break. Enhanced Iron Arm increased his Strength by 70%, and he one-shot a whole group of Dragonlight Cavalrymen. Then, he used Beast Howl Slash and tore a Level 255 magic knight to shreds!
"Kill!"
I leaped forward and split the Xuanyuan Sword into three beams of fiery sword energy that engulfed Vienna's Sorrow. At the same time, I activated the Xuanyuan Art and Lin Yixin summoned Thunderstorm!
Vienna's Sorrow's HP almost hit rock bottom under the barrage of attacks. Furious, he swung his sword at Stranger of Three Lifetimes without even activating his invincibility skill. "Dammit, don't kill our king!"
Stranger of Three Lifetimes hurriedly dodged to the side, but Vienna's Charge caught up to her and pierced her Magic Shield with a second Thousand Ton Break!
“1075240！”
Even a player of Stranger of Three Lifetimes's level couldn't withstand the Thousand Ton Break enhanced by Iron Arm. She groaned and fell to her knees, clutching her scepter. All she had time to say in the party channel was, "OMG!
I'm leaving … "
Another CGL Hall of Famer had been killed!
I rushed forward and kicked Vienna's Sorrow to the stone steps. Then, I stomped on his chest and growled, "The winner takes all! Vienna, surrender!"
Vienna's Sorrow stared at his king with bloodshot eyes and said, "I've failed my country!"
I activated Heavenly River Transformation and Xuanyuan Slash!
The Xuan-Yuan Sword flashed past, and with a crack, a head flew into the air!
"Ding!"
System Announcement: All players, please be informed that player "Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand" (China) has successfully killed the Heroic Bannerman "Vienna's Sorrow" (USA) and obtained 10% of his Nation War points — 421827!
… …
I rose to the sky and looked down at Lian Xin and Lin Yixin. "I'll leave this place to you. I'm heading to Hero City!"
"Got it!" The girls nodded in unison.
… …
20 minutes later, Hero City!
The teleportation formation flashed, and a ton of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls players streamed into it. At the same time, a bell rang, signaling that Seven Star City had been conquered by China players. He Yi, Li Chengfeng, Gui Guzi and the others all came to support us!
… …
Seventeen minutes later, the Xuanyuan Sword dealt 7x damage to Hero City's king, and I grabbed the King's Scepter in my hand.
I slowly stood on the stairs, my arm covered in blood. I shouted to the sky, "Zhang Chun, Tang Feng, did you see that? Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls didn't let you down!"
He Yi, Li Chengfeng and the others wore tired smiles on their faces. The three-day-long Nation War was finally coming to an end.
Hum!
Suddenly, my mind went blank. I slowly knelt on the stairs and stared at my arm. To my surprise, my arm was disappearing into specks of light that rose into the air.
"Ugh …" I let out a miserable howl before lowering my proud head.
"What's wrong?" He Yi asked in shock, "Lu Chen, what's wrong …"
Li Chengfeng rushed forward to support me, but he discovered that my arm had already disappeared into the wind. His eyes were bloodshot as he said, "We're in the game, but there are no tents, no hotels, no players. This is … Lu Chen, what's going on …"
… …
I looked at him and He Yi and suddenly felt like crying. "I'm sorry, I can't walk to the end with you guys …"
My vision turned black, and I lost consciousness.
Starting tomorrow, I'll update at 12 noon … Also, during the last half a month, Peerless Under Heaven will be free to read the entire Peerless Under Heaven book for free. Students who can't afford to watch the ending don't have to worry. This is a small compensation to Ye Zi, and the free event will continue until the release of the new book ~ ~
