I didn't care if it was a cockroach, I wasn't afraid of it.
I followed up with a Burning Blade Slash. Flaming sword energy flew out in a zigzag arc and instantly killed a bunch of mobs. Even a Level 137 elite mob couldn't take three hits from me. Hmm, at this stage of the game, there weren't many players who could take three hits from me. Only Little Piglet with Vajra could. Of course, Burning Blade Slash's attack speed wasn't very fast, so there was a high chance that super-tier experts like Lin Yixin, Candlelight Shadow, Purple Marquis and Li Chengfeng could parry it.
Gaming was a science, and there was no way I would rashly use Burning Blade Slash against an expert of the same level. I had to rely on positioning, attack, terrain and all sorts of other factors to intimidate the enemy so that they would show a momentary opening. Then, I would use Burning Blade Slash to one-shot them. That way, my chances of one-shotting them would be much higher. I would use fast and rhythmic attacks to trick them into making mistakes and killing them.
PvP was definitely an art.
… …
"OMG, the second wave came so quickly that I didn't even have time to pick up the equipment on the ground …" Xu Yang was a little speechless.
I smiled. "It's fine. After this wave is over, organize a group of people to pick up the equipment quickly and store them in Dark Moon City's warehouse. After that, we'll give them the right to exchange for the equipment based on the guild member's contribution points."
"Mn, got it. Let's do that!"
Xu Yang nodded with a smile. He was an expert when it came to management, and it was also why He Yi thought so highly of him. Xu Yang was a mid-tier player at best when it came to PvP, but he was absolutely a leader when it came to guild management. He was loyal, iron-blooded, willing to trade his life for his brothers', and incomparably loyal to He Yi. A leader like him was incredibly rare, and it was why Pillar of the Nation of Hegemon Palace even tried to poach Xu Yang, only to be turned down with a single curse.
Boom!
I activated Silver Dragon Storm again and killed a whole bunch of mobs in front of me. My experience bar rose by a huge chunk, but Chaos Moon immediately grew unhappy. She squeezed her way to my side and said, "Lu Chen, I want to join your party. Take me …"
I nearly coughed up blood. After that, Chaos Moon threatened and lured a warrior from my party to join Li Chengfeng's party. My Silver Dragon Storm was so OP that Chaos Moon was practically drooling over the fact that she insisted on joining my party and leeching experience. Although 50% of the experience I gained from killing mobs belonged to me, the remaining 50% was more than enough to satisfy Chaos Moon. After all, her own Attack was pretty good, and my Martial God boosted my Attack by 115%. It was even higher than Gui Guzi's Knight God. One could only imagine how fast my leveling speed would be.
In the distance, Pure Love raised her scepter and buffed me from afar. As a result, my stats skyrocketed to a terrifying level.
Li Chengfeng immediately burst into tears. "Oh my god, Moon Breeze, you don't have to do this to me. You're a member of my party, so why are you giving all your buffs to that punk Lu Chen? You … you're my benefactor, you can't betray me like this …"
Pure Love replied calmly, "I'll buff you when you're as handsome as Lu Chen."
Li Chengfeng looked up to the sky and cried.
Although Li Chengfeng looked stubborn and arrogant, it didn't have much to do with his looks. Compared to him, Li Le of Flower Room and Wang Dongliang of Hegemon Palace were both more handsome than Li Chengfeng and me, but they were so handsome that they looked like a gigolo in a nightclub. They didn't have the manliness that a man should have.
Mn, I saw Li Le changing women again last time. He seemed to be living a good life, but I didn't feel jealous at all. No matter how many women he changed, they were all low-quality goods. Any one of the women by my side was far better than all of Li Le's women put together.
… …
"The boss has appeared!"
Gui Guzi said with bright eyes, "It's to the north, and it's not far from us. It's about 3 minutes away. Should we go and snatch it?"
I nodded. "Little Gui, take the Fireblade Cavalry with you. Everyone else, don't bother. With your Attack and Defense, you should be able to kill that Level 137 Purple Gold Rank boss without suffering any losses, right?"
Gui Guzi raised his spear and smiled. "Don't worry, boss. Leave it to me!
Oh right, what should we do if someone tries to PvP us? "
I grinned. "It's time for you to shine, so there's no need to be afraid of him."
"Alright, let's go!"
After that, Gui Guzi led a group of Fireblade Cavalry out of formation and charged along the edge of the monsters. Sword auras swept across the area, and the Dark Beetles couldn't stop them at all. It was true that players with mounts were very powerful!
… …
He Yi didn't join the Fireblade Cavalry, but she continued to act as our commander. Riding on her Snow Domain Windchaser and wielding Whirlwind, she unleashed a barrage of sword auras into the mobs. Her attacks were fierce and powerful, and I tried my best to stay as close to her as possible. She had activated her Famous General Skill, Royal Road, and reduced the stats of all undead mobs within a certain range by 30%. This way, it would be a lot easier for us to kill the mobs.
Suddenly, a gust of wind rose from He Yi's sword, and a huge tornado descended from the mobs and killed a whole bunch of them!
That's right, it was the Outstanding skill of Whirlwind, Cyclone Storm. The passive skill's proc rate was a lot lower than my Silver Dragon Storm, but it was just as effective. Everyone in the guild exchanged glances with each other and started to look at He Yi in a different light. The guild leader of Snowy Cathaya had excellent looks and mechanics, and the guild leader of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls wasn't too far behind her either. It was a very gratifying sight.
"Guild leader, your weapon …" Li Chengfeng's eyes were very sharp. He actually saw through it. His eyes lit up. "Damn, is this the legendary Level 120 Warrior's Whirlwind?
It's one of the strongest Level 120 sword-type weapons, isn't it? "
He Yi nodded with a smile. "Yes, a 4-star Outstanding Spirit-grade weapon is very powerful …"
"No wonder your DPS is so high … when did you get it?"
"Lu Chen gave it to me …"
Li Chengfeng, High Fighting Spirits, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun and the rest immediately turned green with envy. "Lu Chen, why didn't you give it to us …"
I said calmly, "Are you that shameless?"
"Fuck …"
… …
Chaos Moon said resentfully, "If you get a good weapon like Whirlwind again, can you consider me?"
I replied, "Yeah, let's talk about it after we get it. The first Whirlwind is obviously for the boss. Plus, you guys always party up to grind bosses, so it's much easier for you guys to get equipment. I've always grinded monsters by myself, and it took me a long time to get the Whirlwind. How can you guys be so cruel to me …"
Chaos Moon giggled. "You're right. You need to build a good relationship with the leader. Even if you give this sword to another girl, they might not be willing to marry you …"
I glanced at her. "Is that so?"
Chaos Moon said shyly, "Actually … I can consider it …"
"Fuck …"
… …
A while later, the system bell rang — Ding ~!
System Announcement: Player "Gui Guzi" has killed a Dark Lord and gained 2000 War Points and 1 Luck point!
Very good, Gui Guzi had killed the boss and gotten the reward point. He didn't disappoint!
The mobs in front of us were getting fewer and fewer. After almost an hour of fighting, only a handful of Dark Beetles were left. It wasn't long before a group of cavalry charged toward us. It was none other than Gui Guzi's Fireblade Cavalry!
Gui Guzi raised his spear and said cheerfully, "This is awesome! No one can stop us at all! Mad Dragon's Roaming Dragon tried to steal the Dark Lord from us and sent an assassin party to ambush us, but we killed them all. It's a tragedy for those assassins. They couldn't break our Defense at all, so they were all in despair …"
I was a bit speechless. "Little Gui, you're such a bully."
"Hahaha, there's nothing I can do. They asked for it …"
It was true that the Fireblade Cavalry was invincible in Sky City right now. Unless they ran into elite squads led by Famous Generals like Little Piglet or Lin Yixin, they were more than capable of dominating the battlefield. Their numbers were a bit low, but it didn't matter. Their numbers would increase in the future.
… …
Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls had killed all the mobs at the frontlines, but the rest of the guilds were still fighting. The southern corner of the eastern side had actually been breached by the mobs, and a bunch of Dark Beetles were running amok. They killed a lot of mages, archers and priests, but Lin Yixin's timely reinforcements stopped them.
Xu Yang led a group of players and started cleaning up the battlefield. The Level 137 elite mobs dropped the occasional Silver or Gold – grade item. The drop rate was a bit low, but shadow-rank mobs were definitely going to appear in the next few waves. When that happened, it would be our turn to fight.
… …
A while later, the system bell rang again, signaling the arrival of the third wave. Ding ~!
System Announcement: All players, please be informed that the third wave led by the Level 139 Purple Gold Rank boss "Void Dancer" has crossed the spatial bridge created by the Purgatory Dragon Scepter!
… …
It was already a Level 139 elite mob, and most of our frontline players were between Level 110 and 115. There was already quite a bit of a difference in levels, but the good news was that as long as we didn't die, we could still hold on. Plus, it was an elite mob, so there wasn't much pressure.
The Heaven-stealing Sword glowed brightly as I activated Silver Dragon Storm with my first strike. Over 14000 damage numbers flew up into the air, and the 30% splash damage stacked on top of the Heaven-stealing Sword's single target damage was over 40k. It was more than enough to one-shot a Level 139 elite mob!
A large number of Undead Thieves in black leather armor collapsed to the ground. Everyone's morale was boosted by the sight, and the players of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls immediately started fighting again.
