"Crack. Everyone else, watch as normal:!"
The blade tore through flesh and blood. Accompanied by a cry of agony, the last member of Gods of Destruction's 50-man team died. Not a single one of them ran away, and not a single one of them begged for mercy. From this, it could be seen that Gods of Destruction was an opponent worthy of respect.
I sheathed the Purgatory Sword and returned to the forest.
Xinran let out a low moan as her wounds started to worsen. Archbishop Alves' Holy Word was just too terrifying. It actually damaged Xinran's body from the inside out!
My heart ached as I watched black blood flow out of her wound. I picked her up and said, "Hold on, we're going to Princess Sophia right away. She definitely has a way to save you!"
Xinran was very weak. She leaned her face against my neck and let out a hot tear.
I looked up at the sky. Lightning flashed, and dark clouds rolled toward us. Was this the so-called divine punishment?
Was a girl crying hot tears really a devil?
Who gave Alves the power to summon divine punishment, and who gave him the power to decide the life and death of others?
Boundless anger rose from the bottom of my heart. This world was full of unfairness, and bullying and oppression were everywhere. If everyone was equal, then that could only fool kindergarten kids. When faced with injustice and oppression, the gods wouldn't save you. The only way to save you was to use your own sword to tear apart the darkness and restore the world to its former glory!
Looking at Xinran in my arms, I kind of understood why she had betrayed the Netherworld. When a person found something worth defending, there was nothing that could stop her. Fans of the book also liked to read: The Devil's Heart.
"Big bro, I'm so scared …"
Xinran suddenly let out a low moan. She whimpered, "I just want to be Xinran, I don't want to be that Wind Singer. I … I don't want to kill people, and I don't want my family to be hurt …"
I nodded and said softly, "Xinran, go to sleep. Leave the rest to me. This … is my promise to you, okay?"
Xinran closed her eyes and burst into tears.
Ding ~!
System Notice: Your SSS Rank quest [Promise] has progressed. You and the Wind Singer have become friends.
Xinran's intimacy has increased!
…
I didn't have time to think too much about it. I hugged Xinran tightly and ran into the depths of the forest. I needed to leave this place as soon as possible, or Dominating Heaven Blade and the Heroes of Destruction would arrive at any moment. If that happened, I wouldn't be able to escape their pursuit even if I had wings.
"Di!"
I received a message from Lin Yixin: "Hey, what's wrong with you? Where are you? Gods of Destruction is hunting you down all over the world. What do you want me to do?"
I quickly replied: "Yiyi, do as you see fit. I can't afford to be distracted right now."
"Alright!"
Lin Yixin didn't say anything else. I didn't know what she was going to do, but no matter what happened, I believed that she was doing the right thing. Lin Yixin wasn't an ordinary girl to begin with, and I was already used to her doing something shocking.
…
Night fell, and Eternal Song Forest was shrouded in darkness.
I ran through the forest with Xinran in my arms across the dewy grass. My heart was burning with anxiety because Xinran's injuries were getting worse and worse. Her face was deathly pale, and she was delirious. Sigh, a lot of Xinran's power had been sealed away, or she wouldn't be afraid of some Holy Word, would she?
The path ahead suddenly opened up, and I could hear the neighing of warhorses in the distance. Was this the Blood Dance Legion's camp?
I was so excited that I rushed out of the forest, my blood-red cape fluttering behind me. However, the moment I rushed out of the camp, I was at a loss. In front of me stood a large group of people. They weren't the undead from the Blood Dance Camp, but a group of players. Every one of them had the same emblem on their shoulders, the emblem of Gods of Destruction. There were about a hundred of them, and they looked ready to fight. Fans of the book also loved to read:
… …
I was stunned. What the fuck, I was ambushed? What should I do now? There were so many archers and mages, and it was impossible to escape. Moreover, I was carrying Xinran, so my movement speed was greatly affected. There was no way I could escape by myself.
Clang!
Dominating Knight God took the lead and pulled out his sword. He shouted angrily, "Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand, did you have a good time killing them?
Hmph, what do you think Gods of Destruction is? A toy for you to show off your skills?
Fuck, you must die this time, or Gods of Destruction will never be able to avenge their humiliation! "
I supported Xinran and put her down at the edge of the grass. Then, I turned around and pulled out the Purgatory Sword. I smiled fearlessly. "Then let's fight. If Gods of Destruction doesn't want me alive, then I won't let you have an easy time!"
Dominating Knight God's face twitched. He said, "You really want Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls to declare war on Gods of Destruction?"
"So be it!"
My eyes turned cold. I said indifferently, "Do it. I'm used to solving problems with my fists!"
"Fuck, you arrogant bastard!"
Dominating Knight God's eyes turned sharp. He swung his sword and shouted, "Brothers and sisters, get ready to attack! Let's eliminate the number one player on the Heavenly Ranking!
Attention, he has an AoE skill. Everyone, spread out and surround him. Mages and archers, don't group together. Mages, use Ice Dragon Howls, archers, use Devil Piercing Arrows. Warriors, surround him from twelve directions and seal off all his escape routes. Today is the day Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand falls from Floating Ice City! "
I was shocked. Dominating Knight God's courage and intelligence were above Dominating Warrior God's, and he couldn't be underestimated. In terms of tactics, he was many times better than Dominating Warrior God. This kind of person wasn't easy to deal with!
I looked at the crowd calmly. The Purgatory Sword glowed with bloody light, and I had already infused it with undead energy. A one-versus-one battle was about to begin.
This time, I didn't hesitate because I knew that I had no chance of winning. Challenging a hundred-man party by myself was like a moth flying into a flame. Maybe if my Purple Dragon Howl was on cooldown, I might have had a chance. Purple Dragon Howl was an AoE skill. As long as the enemy players were concentrated enough, it wouldn't be a problem to kill a hundred of them in one go. Unfortunately, I had already contributed Purple Dragon Howl to Floating Ice City's Radiant Temple a few hours ago.
… …
Swords were drawn, and the cold wind howled.
Right at that moment, the sound of hooves thundered through the night wind, growing closer and closer. Not long after, a group of Undead Cavalrymen charged out of the forest. They were all Undead Cavalrymen. The Skeleton Cavalrymen were covered in heavy armor, and even their horses were clad in heavy armor. They were extremely elite, and there seemed to be over a thousand of them.
The emblem of the Blood Dance Legion formed a line, and beautiful violets bloomed in the night.
At the front of the cavalry formation was a beautiful girl. She held a blood-red longbow in her hand. She rode on a White Bone Battle Wolf that was covered in thick armor. It was extremely tall and let out a loud howl. Under the girl's command, the Battle Wolf leaped forward and charged straight at me!
I saw it clearly and couldn't help but ask, "Xue Wei?"
"Ah, it's you?"
Xue Wei trembled. "Why are you here?"
I shook my head. "It's a long story. Why are you here?"
Xue Wei frowned and said, "Scouts reported that a powerful human cavalry had arrived at Eternal Song Forest. I suspected that Floating Ice City couldn't wait to attack the Blood Dance Legion, so I came here with my personal cavalry. I didn't expect you to be here, and..."
Xue Wei glanced at the Gods of Destruction players and said with a smile, "Also, you seem to have caused trouble?"
I nodded and looked back. I found Xinran clutching her wounded chest and pointing at the Gods of Destruction players. She said indifferently, "Xue Wei, kill these people immediately!"
"Ah?!"
Xue Wei's mouth fell open, her eyes filled with shock. "You... you are Lady Wind Singer?
Heavens, I didn't think you would be here! "
As she spoke, Xue Wei waved her hand and shouted, "Personal cavalry, attack!"
Suddenly, a group of Undead Cavalrymen charged at the players from Gods of Destruction.
"Fuck, what is this?"
Dominating Knight God was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected things to develop like this.
According to Heavenblessed's rules, NPCs shouldn't launch large-scale attacks on players. However, the situation right now was a little special. Gods of Destruction was caught in the middle of a war between two factions. It was a tragedy for them, just like me. I had betrayed Floating Ice City for my heart, and was hunted down by both NPCs and players. Honestly speaking, I was in a worse situation than Gods of Destruction.
Of course, I changed my opinion in the next moment. Gods of Destruction's situation was worse.
These undead cavalry were all Level 90 elite mobs. They were Shadow Dancer Xue Wei's personal cavalry, and they were very strong. They weren't inferior to the templars of Floating Ice City. The other readers looked at them normally.
Dominating Knight God and the others couldn't stop them at all. In fact, they couldn't even stop the first wave of NPC cavalry. A thousand Level 90 elite NPCs tore through Dominating Knight God's defense line like a flood through a dam or a fire through a withered forest!
A few minutes later, they were all gone. Only potions and equipment were left on the ground. I wanted to clean up the battlefield, but I didn't have the chance. Before the Shadow Dancer Personal Cavalry could retreat, a group of elite human cavalry came from the distance. It was none other than the Black Cavalry led by the fierce general Stark!
"Formation!"
Xue Wei shouted, and the Shadow Dancer Personal Cavalry immediately fell into formation. The undead cavalry pulled out their blades and quickly formed a charge formation.
Stark took the lead and raised his sword high. When he was about a hundred meters away from the Shadow Dancer Personal Cavalry, he suddenly stopped and shouted, "Stop!"
Xue Wei urged the White Bone Battle Wolf forward and raised her bow. She said angrily, "Blood Dance Legion and Floating Ice City have never interfered with each other. What do you mean, you black-faced man?"
Stark stilled for a moment before pointing angrily at me and Xinran. "These two people killed Archbishop Alves, so they are the mortal enemies of Floating Ice City. Little girl, step aside immediately. I won't kill you because you aren't a Night Creature. Otherwise, the Black Cavalry will sweep through the Blood Dance Camp!"
"Too arrogant!"
Xue Wei waved an arm and shouted, "Shadow Dancer Personal Cavalry, prepare for battle!"
… …
At this time, a dragon roar suddenly came from the sky. A giant red dragon was circling in the sky!
Xue Wei looked up, shock flashing across her face. "Heavens, a dragon knight?"
