Li Chengfeng and the others looked grateful. High Fighting Spirits said, "Alright, Li Chengfeng has the highest points now. Eighteen Riders, Brother Xu Yang, Gui Guzi, and I …"
Gui Guzi shook his head. "My armor isn't much worse than this. Go ahead and fight for it!"
Li Chengfeng smiled meaningfully. "I don't want this armor either. Fighting Spirits, your Defense is terrible, so go ahead and fight for it …"
High Fighting Spirits was astonished. "Chengfeng, your armor isn't good either. Why don't you want it?"
Li Chengfeng smiled. "Points are precious. I don't want this armor, I want the Tempest Sword …"
"Fuck, I see!"
It didn't take long for the competition to end. High Fighting Spirits obtained the Tempest Chest Armor, which provided some protection for his low Defense. He wouldn't die so quickly again.
As for the Obsidian Ring, it was a melee equipment, but it increased max HP and Magic Resist. Both were the signature stats of magic knights, so I gave up the right to fight for it. Gui Guzi successfully obtained the Obsidian Ring, and his HP was almost OP. Thanks to He Yi's Royal Road aura, Gui Guzi's HP had reached a terrifying 30k. Even without the buff from Royal Road, he still had almost 28k HP. Adding that to his Defense, his survivability was absolutely OP.
The last piece of equipment was the Tempest Sword. It was a 2-star Spirit-grade weapon, a classic offensive weapon. He Yi, Gui Guzi, and I consciously withdrew from the competition, and Li Chengfeng successfully obtained the Tempest Sword. It was obvious that he was much stronger now that he had this powerful weapon!
There were also some magic stones that could be hung in the guild for other players to fight over. If the main force of the guild were to split them, the rest of the guild would definitely cry out in anger.
… …
Hegemon Palace didn't gain anything from the Tempest Sword, so they left resentfully. We didn't bother to kill them because it would cost us a lot of lives. Little Piglet and Shangguan Wan 'er were no ordinary players, so it was almost impossible to kill them without losing a single player.
Xu Yang looked at the sky and licked his lips. "Heh, Warsky Alliance, Hegemon Palace, and Mad Dragon haven't even finished killing their barbarian warriors yet, and the eighth wave is about to arrive. Even I'm worried for them. Let's see how they're going to kill the next wave when they overlap with the previous one …"
He Yi smiled. "Take care of yourself first. Fans like to read:!"
Soon, as expected, the eighth wave of monsters came — Ding ~!
System Announcement: All players, please be informed that the eighth monster wave is at the Level 149 Spirit Rank Boss, Sky's Fury?
Under Blood Feather's lead, they stepped onto the spatial bridge constructed by the Purgatory Dragon Scepter!
…
"Sky's Wrath?
Xue Yu? "
I shuddered and looked at everyone. "This isn't good. This wave might be deadly flying monsters …"
"Huh?
It can't be, right? "Li Chengfeng was also astonished.
If it was a flying monster, then it would be troublesome. This meant that the frontline of our melee players would be useless. They would not be able to stop the monster horde at all. Moreover, the monster horde would pour their firepower directly onto our ranged players. This would be a nightmare for the entire team!
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh...
Streaks of light scattered as the sky trembled. One by one, blood-red figures flew out of the sky. They were actually female undead creatures covered in feathers. They let out sharp screeches and glared at the ground with blood-red eyes that were filled with hatred and killing intent.
"Damn, it really is a flying type …" I groaned inwardly. With a "keng" sound, I pulled out my sword and shouted, "Line up! Ranged players, pay attention! Cover each other and lure the monsters closer to the ground!"
At this moment, a black horde of monsters appeared in the sky and charged toward us. It didn't take long for me to read their stats — [Vengeful Spirit Banshee] (Shadow Rank Mob) Level: 149 Attack: 1700 ~ 1940 Defense: 1700 HP: 90000 Skills: [Flight], [Fury], [Feather Poison Sting] Introduction: Banshees from hell. These banshees used to be excellent mages among the human race, but after their souls were stolen, their bodies transformed into the Endless Storm?
The Vengeful Spirit Banshees were Coldblade's slaves in the past wars. They were filled with slaughter and hatred, and the warriors of the Silver Moon Alliance hated them to the bone...
Xu Yang, Gui Guzi, Chaos Moon, and everyone else looked up at the Vengeful Spirit Banshees flying over their heads. There was nothing they could do about it. The Vengeful Spirit Banshees could only fly 20 yards or so, but no one could reach them. This made many of them hate the Vengeful Spirit Banshees to the bone.
Li Chengfeng gritted his teeth and steadied himself. Then, he bent his body slightly and unleashed a dazzling light from his longsword. He shouted, "Get the hell down here!"
Boom!
Reverse Scale Slash exploded and swept through the Vengeful Spirit Banshees. Immediately, a group of Vengeful Spirit Banshees noticed the situation and swooped down. When they were about 10 yards from the ground, they stopped and flapped their wings. Blood-red feather stingers hit Li Chengfeng's chest armor.
"Goddammit, I still can't reach them …" Li Chengfeng's eyes widened.
He Yi and Gui Guzi rushed up to the Vengeful Spirit Banshees and unleashed sword auras at them. Since they were riders, they had an attack range, so they had the absolute advantage. Gui Guzi even led the Fireblade Cavalry to attack the Vengeful Spirit Banshees, sending sword auras and spear after spear into the crowd.
Behind them, the battle was even more intense. The archers and mages were bombarding the Vengeful Spirit Banshees, but the melee players couldn't do much to help. Many priests had already given up on saving the melee players and were desperately trying to heal the mages and archers. Beiming Xue was the one who dealt the most damage. She unleashed Evil Spirit Volley, Multi Arrow, and other skills, killing the Vengeful Spirit Banshees without restraint.
However, the loss was also very great. Banshees had a super high attack of nearly 2000 points, which was very fatal to mages and archers. This was especially true for archers. In a situation where they didn't have a Magic Shield, they needed constant healing from a Priest. Otherwise, they could die at any time.
Beiming Xue's equipment was too powerful, and she had at least 10k HP. With Murong Mingyue and Moon Dew healing her, she wouldn't die at the very least. The rest of the archers were even worse off. The Vengeful Spirit Feather Stingers kept killing them one after another...
The players at the front were starting to panic. Chaos Moon raised her sword and said, "Fuck, are we just going to sit here and watch?"
I gritted my teeth, raised my sword, and threw the Heaven-stealing Sword into the air. The rest of the readers looked at me normally: Whoosh!
Puchi!
The Vengeful Spirit Banshees attracted at least 20 Vengeful Spirits after me. I raised my arm and blocked the first wave of attacks. I hurriedly backed away, and the Vengeful Spirits started chasing after me. As the battle dragged on, I was surprised to discover that the Vengeful Spirits were flying lower and lower. It wasn't long before they were only 3 yards above the ground. This meant that any melee player that wasn't a gnome could reach them...
Swhoosh!
Chaos Moon charged a Banshee that was chasing me. She couldn't help but laugh. "Wow, you're a genius, Lu Chen. You actually noticed me …"
Gui Guzi and the others understood what she meant and shouted, "Drag the Vengeful Spirit Banshees away! They'll fly lower and lower until they reach the ground!
The Vengeful Spirit Banshees might have high Attack, but their Defense and HP are pretty low. They'll be easy to kill! "
This meant that the Fireblade Cavalry's mission was no longer to deal damage, but to lure the Vengeful Spirits and Banshees to the ground. Snowy Cathaya, Warsky Alliance, and Candle Dragon were the strongest guilds in Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls after all. This was a fact that even guilds like Snowy Cathaya, Warsky Alliance, and Candle Dragon had no choice but to admit. Right now, we needed to play to our strengths and let our fighters deal as much damage as possible!
… …
I told Snowy Cathaya and The Monarch Descends about this method, and it didn't take long for them to stabilize their footing. However, there were just too many Vengeful Spirits, and at this rate, we would all be wiped out in two hours at most! There was no room for negotiation at all!
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh...
Venomous Feather Stingers rained down from the sky, and seven or eight archers of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls died in an instant. The Vengeful Spirits' DPS was just too high, and we were practically fighting with our lives on the line!
Not far away, to the east of Sky City, there were still a few mid-tier guilds fighting fiercely. However, the battle had already turned into a massacre. Banshees circled in the air, chasing down a group of defenseless melee players. The ground was a complete mess. However, even in such a situation, not a single player backed out of the battle. They would rather die than give up on their main city. The other readers continued to watch the battle calmly.
Bang, bang, bang...
Energy surged, and a fiery sword energy exploded in the middle of a dozen or so Vengeful Spirits. According to Chaos Moon, the Vengeful Spirits were flying creatures, so their Defense was "as fragile as 13". That was why the Vengeful Spirits were easy to kill. A single Burning Blade Slash dealt almost 40k damage, and with the splash effect, they were practically one-shot. However, the Vengeful Spirits' DPS was also extremely difficult to deal with!
The Venomous Feather Stingers rained down on my Dragonscale Armor and caused it to shudder. The good news was that the Ghost Deity Armor blocked most of the damage, so I wasn't one-shot.
Swhoosh!
Tenacity of the Dead healed me for almost 4000 HP. I hurriedly looked behind me and said, "Can a priest heal me? I'm about to die. Fuck …"
A couple of female priests immediately cast a couple of instant heals on me. One of them stayed behind and focused on healing me. As a heavy cannoneer, I needed a priest of my own. Borrowing a healer wasn't going to work, and one mistake and I'd have to report to the graveyard.
A ghastly wail came from the side. It turned out that the player army of Sky City in the south had been annihilated. Gods of Destruction, Soul Battle Robes and other guilds had been wiped out, and it was said that Dominating Heaven Blade had led Dominating Knight God and Dominating Warrior God to their deaths in that barren land. Right now, the Night Creatures had officially taken over the southern part of Sky City.
… …
At this moment, a loud howl could be heard from the plains in the distance. Finally, the Berserk Lion Legion led by General Jacelyn had appeared in the south of Sky City, charging towards the Banshee Legion. Furthermore, at the edge of the eastern forest of Sky City, human soldiers had appeared as far as the eye could see. Under a luxurious battle flag, a beautiful female warrior rode on a warhorse. She looked into the distance and said, "Stark, order the Black Cavalry to prepare to charge!"
