"Dammit!"
Coldblade struggled with all his might. More than half of his body was already inside the spatial tear, but Xinran was holding onto one of his legs, preventing him from escaping. Left with no other choice, Coldblade actually took off his combat boots in an attempt to break free from Xinran's grasp. This move was quite ruthless.
However, Xinran was faster than him. She raised the Dragonbone Spear in one hand and stabbed at him.
Puchi!
The Dragonbone Spear stabbed into Coldblade's thigh and pierced right through. The spear's blade sank deep into the ground, nailing a Purgatory Sovereign to the ground just like that.
Coldblade wailed in pain, but he still had more than half of his HP left. Xinran's damage wasn't enough to kill him.
"Goddamned Wind Singer, you will be judged by the purgatory! Just you wait!"
Coldblade abruptly swung his sword and broke his own left leg. Black blood gushed out as his leg was severed outside the spatial crack.
… …
Swhoosh!
There was a soft sound as Coldblade disappeared into the spatial rift and returned to the Purgatory Realm. Xinran stared at Coldblade's severed limbs on the ground and let out a helpless sigh. "The power of the Purgatory Realm is growing stronger and stronger. It seems like … the eight sovereigns are growing stronger and stronger as well. What should we do …"
I walked up to her and asked, "Xinran, do you know this Coldblade?"
Xinran turned around and smiled softly. "Big bro, Coldblade does exist in my memories. I'm very familiar with him, but I can't remember who I am …"
"I see …"
At this moment, Karinshan, Sophia, Xue Wei, Stark, and the other NPCs all walked over. Karinshan bowed respectfully to Xinran and said, "On behalf of all the living beings on the human continent, I sincerely thank Lady Wind Singer for her timely assistance. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid that Sky City would've become Coldblade's territory and become the Night Creatures' iron fortress in the human continent. At that time, the Silver Moon Alliance would be in grave danger.
Xinran nodded with a smile. "No need to be so polite, Your Highness Karinshan. Coldblade has suffered a great deal of damage after this battle, and he won't be able to return for at least a few years. Therefore, you must destroy the Purgatory Dragon Scepter as soon as possible and break the spatial bridge. Only then can you completely cut off the connection between the living plane and the Purgatory Realm."
"Yes!"
Xinran pulled out the Dragonbone Spear before looking at me. Suddenly, she walked up to me and grabbed my hand. She smiled and said, "Big bro, the trainer I found for you is Rinser. He's not bad, right?"
I nodded. "Yep, not bad."
"Then … then I'm leaving?
I need to continue cultivating … "
I curled my lips and said, "Xinran still doesn't want to stay by my side?
Back then, you were always with me … "
Xinran smiled faintly and said, "Er … big brother, when I'm strong enough, I'll stay by your side and protect you. However, I can't protect you right now, so I need to find a powerful divine power from the cursed divine weapons in God Domain to awaken the power that's been sealed in my body for a long time …"
"Alright, go ahead. I'm going to destroy the Purgatory Dragon Scepter with everyone else."
"Goodbye, big brother!"
After she finished speaking, Xinran abruptly stomped the ground with a single foot. Her petite figure rose into the air and disappeared in the blink of an eye. After defeating Coldblade, she had completed her mission. She could just leave the rest to Karinshan.
… …
The sky in front of us was slowly disappearing. Now that Coldblade was gone, the Purgatory Dragon Scepter's power couldn't be replenished. However, it could still teleport Undead Dragon Falcons through the spatial bridge.
Sophia placed a hand on the hilt of her sword and said to Karinshan, "Your Highness, I'll leave the rest to you. May the Violet Empire and Sky City be friends in the years to come, and may we become allies in the war against the Purgatory Legion."
Karinshan nodded strongly and smiled. "We will. Trust me!"
"Mn."
Sophia left with Xue Wei, and the Violet Empire's undead cavalry also retreated. Floating Ice City's army and part of the original Sky City's army officially took over the governance of this super city.
… …
Chiang!
Pulling out her blade, Karinshan faced the floating city and shouted, "Human warriors, take back our home! Slaughter the fiends from the Purgatory Purgatory! For the Silver Moon Alliance, kill them all!"
The mighty Black Cavalry immediately charged toward the main city. The ground shook with the sound of their hooves.
The player faction couldn't fall behind either. This was a great opportunity to earn points!
I gripped the Heaven-stealing Sword and smiled at the people behind me. "Let's go as well. Let's become the hero who kills the incapable ruler of Sky City. I'm sure we'll get a lot of points!"
"Okay, charge!"
Li Chengfeng, Gui Guzi, High Fighting Spirits and the others laughed loudly before following me onto the floating rocks and charging toward the main city. Lin Yixin also led a group of Snowy Cathaya players and charged toward the main city. There were less than ten thousand players left in the player camp, but they were all charging toward the main city without any hesitation. As the last survivors, there were many things we could do. My fellow readers, please read this normally.
We ran all the way to the stone bridge that led to the eastern gate of Sky City. However, the names of the NPC guards on the bridge had turned red. These were the soldiers who followed the incapable ruler, and they were our enemies right now.
"Kill!"
The Heaven-stealing Sword's Thousand Ice Slash descended upon the crowd of NPCs. I followed it up with Burning Blade Slash, instantly killing a large group of them. These elite NPCs were far weaker than the shadow-rank monsters outside, so killing them was a breeze.
I stepped over the corpses of the NPC soldiers and entered the city with almost no resistance. The players of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, The Monarch Descends, and Snowy Cathaya followed behind me. There were less than a thousand of them, but every single one of them was a super elite who hadn't died in hundreds of battles. None of them were easy to deal with.
In the sky, the five Dragon Knights of Floating Ice City took to the air again. Relying on their advantage in the air, they unleashed their sword energy onto the rebels inside the city. Then, they breathed fire and ice into the heads of the rebels, burning them into charcoal or freezing them into ice lumps that would shatter at the slightest touch.
Karinshan urged her warhorse into the city and pointed her sword at it. "Tia, lead the Dragon Knights and destroy the Purgatory Dragon Scepter and the spatial bridge!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The five Dragon Knights galloped away as I said to everyone, "Everyone, let's head to the palace together. With the Dragon Knights clearing the way, we'll fight for the right to kill the incapable ruler!"
Lin Yixin let out a soft chuckle and pulled all of us into the party. Gui Guzi took the lead on his Armored Swordback Dragon and galloped away.
We rushed to the palace in a hurry. From afar, we could see the five Dragon Knights' attacks wreaking havoc around the altar. The Purgatory Dragon Scepter instantly shattered, and the spatial bridge above our heads suddenly vanished. Finally, the connection between the real world and the plane of Purgatory had been severed. Moreover, without the Purgatory Dragon Scepter, not even Coldblade would be able to lead his army into Purgatory.
… …
The group of people stormed into the palace and killed nearly a thousand Imperial Guards. In the distance, the fatuous ruler was still sitting in the great hall of the palace. Thinking about how he and a group of elders were so muddle-headed and muddle-headed, how they had decided on the motion, how they had isolated themselves from the world, and how they had turned a deaf ear to the survival of the human world, Jiang Chen was instantly enraged. He raised his Heaven-stealing Sword and stepped onto the stairs, shouting, "Everyone, follow me!"
The muddle-headed ruler recognized me and shouted, "So it's you, the rebellious adventurer. Damn it! Men, kill him for me!
I want to see his head rolling on the ground! I want to use his heart to brew wine! "
"Soak your sister's wine!"
I grinned and locked onto the ruler. Then, I activated Thunderous Charge!
Swhoosh!
I arrived in front of the fatuous ruler and successfully stunned him. I was Level 125 right now, and I had the Soul Suppressing Cloak, a Six-star Earth-grade equipment. My strength was on a completely different level compared to before. I immediately used Burning Blade Slash and deleted a huge chunk of the fatuous ruler's HP!
Around him, a group of rebel generals surrounded him, all of them pulling out their swords to attack.
I chuckled as I locked onto the monarch and unleashed War Crush. The NPC generals were immediately forced to stumble backward. Some of them even lost close to 20% of their HP. As expected, the generals who were willing to follow the monarch and betray the human race were all cowards. The true warriors were all like Jacelyn, who had decisively left the palace and became valiant generals who galloped on the battlefield and dyed their robes red with blood.
Swhoosh!
An icicle of sword energy wreathed in flames fell from the sky and engulfed me, the boss and the NPCs. Finally, Lin Yixin joined the fray. Li Chengfeng, Gui Guzi and the others also joined the fray, and even Beiming Xue was firing Multi Arrow at random from afar. Our goal was to kill all the elders and sovereigns in this place and restore the world to its former glory!
… …
Swhoosh swhoosh...
Holy light rained down on me, and my HP and Defense had skyrocketed thanks to Bombshell. Therefore, I might not lose even if I fought this foolish ruler alone. Moreover, Lin Yixin, Li Chengfeng, and the other powerful attackers had joined the fray as well. The boss's HP kept dropping, and it was clear that he wouldn't be able to live for long. The elders were in an even worse state. They were screaming for their mothers and fathers, and it wasn't long before they were all lying in pools of blood. The other readers looked at me like normal.
"His Majesty is about to die …"
Gui Guzi looked at the boss's HP and stabbed two more holes with Rainbow. I followed up with a Burning Blade Slash and deleted the last sliver of HP from the boss!
Swhoosh!
Golden light enveloped me, and I reached Level 126. Okay, I had officially reached the max!
However, I didn't get any rewards for killing this foolish ruler, and he didn't drop any equipment. He only dropped a couple of good stones. It looked like he was a guy who liked to collect gems and not divine weapons. He really was a foolish ruler!
… …
"Mn, we're nearing the end of the quest. Is it time to give out the rewards for the Top 100 players?"
Lin Yixin said with a hopeful smile.
I nodded. "Soon."
It was at this moment Karinshan led her generals into the hall. She smiled at me from afar and said, "Brave adventurers, you are the glory of Sky City!"
I moved away from the throne behind me and said, "Your Highness Karinshan, it's time to inherit the throne …"
Karinshan: "..."
