Even someone as calm as Li Chengfeng was visibly shaken by the might of the four subguilds of Hall of Immortality. He turned around to look at me and asked, "Lu Chen, are we going to use the same strategy?"
I nodded. "Take care, everyone. This time, we're going to be under a lot of pressure. These subguilds of Hall of Immortality have a lot of hidden experts, and their equipment is much better than Throne Seeker's subguilds."
Chaos Moon frowned. "It's too bad that Lu Buyi is a member of the eighth subguild, not the main guild. Otherwise, the stratagem he just learned would've been very useful. It boosts all stats by 70%, and it's almost as good as Beauty Lin's Famous General Skill. Fans of the book like to read it even more."
Xu Yang said in a low voice, "Lu Buyi's still thinking about Freezing Point. Hmph, the eighth guild is his home, and a brother in the main guild isn't a brother anymore. In my opinion, Freezing Point isn't a good person either. He used to be the guild leader of a small guild, but he was still cautious and conscientious. Now that he's the guild leader of the eighth subguild with 5000 people under his command, he's become arrogant and willful, and he's caused quite a bit of criticism in the other subguilds."
I frowned. "Xu Yang, lower your voice. Don't talk about others behind their backs. Freezing Point is our brother ever since he joined Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. Don't doubt the people you use, and don't use the people you doubt!"
Xu Yang looked a bit indignant. "Lu Chen, you can't let your guard down!"
"I know …" I sucked in a deep breath. "If only Eve was here. She'd be able to handle this with ease."
"Yeah, we're all too green …" Xu Yang sighed.
Chaos Moon raised her eyebrows. "Yo, Lu Chen said he's green, and that's the truth. Xu Yang, what are you talking about? What does your face have to do with the word 'green'?"
Xu Yang's face turned red. "Miss Chaos Moon, you sure know how to slap my face …"
High Fighting Spirits waved his battle axe and growled, "Hey, stop teasing Chaos Moon. Hall of Immortality's people are coming, so get ready. The battle will begin in three minutes!"
…
The enemy players were already very close to us. They were at most a hundred yards away from us, so close that I could even see the pimples on the faces of the female warriors at the front row. My Dark Pupils not only allowed me to see through the enemy's movements, but it also improved my vision and perception. Sigh, the world isn't beautiful anymore when it's clear. Only perfect, round, and flawless beauties like Lin Yixin and He Yi would feel no pressure. The rest of the book readers would just stare at me like normal.
"Whoosh!"
The blade of the Cyan Netherworld Sword was once again shrouded in a thick layer of blood-red light. This was the effect of Undead Energy. As I stared at the densely packed Hall of Immortality players in front of me, I growled, "The battle is about to begin! Archers and mages, suppress them from afar and use the same tactics as before! Spiraling Arrow Blades and Galaxy Storms, give it your all!"
In reality, our warriors weren't very useful when we were short of elite riders. We had to rely on our long-range attacks because not every warrior was like me, Li Chengfeng, and Chaos Moon. Less than 0.01% of all warriors in Heavenblessed had AoE skills, and most of them still had to rely on skills like Blaze and Low Rank Flurry to kill their enemies. Even warriors with Barrier Break were rare and outstanding, and they were popular no matter where they went.
Of course, because I was selling the Strength Potions in Sky City, a large number of Sky City fighters had already learned Barrier Break. There were even players who had teleported all the way from Wind City and Vanished God City to buy the Strength Potions. In any case, I had truly made a fortune this time.
Behind me, Beiming Xue drew her bow and said in a low voice, "It's starting. Far Shot!"
The archers rose to their feet at a forty-five degree angle, and the sound of arrows leaving their bows filled the air. In the next moment, countless arrows rained down on the players in front of us. A large number of Hall of Immortality players were hit, but there were simply too many of them. Our archers' attacks were no more than a rain of arrows.
I dashed forward and locked eyes with a couple of warriors at the front. I chuckled and said, "Bring it on!"
The warriors exchanged glances with each other before raising their weapons and shouting, "Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand is here! Kill him and make Hall of Immortality famous! Brothers and sisters, come with us! Let's kill Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand, Legendary Brave, and Chaos Moon! We will be the new heroes of Hall of Immortality!"
I swung my sword and fired a Thousand Ice Slash at them. I laughed and said, "Show me the power of Hall of Immortality's' heroes'!"
Boom! Everyone else, watch as normal:! "
The Cyan Netherworld Sword split into ten beams of icy sword energy that rained down on the crowd and dealt 10k to 20k damage. The 40% splash damage was even more powerful than before, and the sword energy pierced the players around me. It was like a chain reaction, and I instantly cleared out an empty space in front of me.
There was only one Level 132 magic knight who hadn't died yet. He raised his spear and laughed excitedly. "Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand, if you can't kill me, then the one who will die will be you! Hahaha, prepare to die!"
The magic knight's mount neighed as he urged his mount forward. He swung his spear in the air and used Blaze. However, the spear was immediately followed by a flaming cone of light. It was a Blaze + Barrier Break combo. This guy sure knows what he's doing.
Pchht!
“1902！”
The Blaze scorched my shoulder armor and scorched it black. In that moment of life and death, I abruptly raised my left arm and blocked the enemy's Barrier Break. This was the first time I had tried to parry a Barrier Break. Would it work?
Unfortunately for me, the Barrier Break still pierced my chest and dealt a huge damage number — 6983!
Wait, even though I hadn't completely parried the attack, I had still managed to dodge at least 30% of the damage. Logically speaking, this magic knight should've dealt at least 10000 damage to me!
Thud!
I grabbed the edge of the enemy's spear with lightning speed and grinned. The Cyan Netherworld Sword was already pressed against the enemy's chest. Indigo energy swirled around the sword, and it was the prelude to Universe Break!
"Die!"
“25674！”
Light blossomed as the cyan cone of flames pierced through the enemy's chest and dealt a huge amount of damage. The magic knight collapsed to the ground with a look of shock on his face. As expected, he couldn't fight me head-on. Everyone else, watch as normal:
Bang, bang, bang...
I looked up and saw that my chest was covered in arrows. The enemy's archers were firing at me in unison, and their attack power was driving me crazy. Moon Dew and the other priests behind me were desperately healing me, but they still couldn't keep my HP above 50%. God damn, I really missed Murong Mingyue right now. Her Famous General Skill, Clear Mirror, boosted her healing by 35%, and her stratagem also boosted her healing by 1 to 2 times. A single Greater Heal could heal me for almost 20000 HP, and the priests in the party could also heal me by that much. Just how powerful was her skill?
Unfortunately, Murong Mingyue and He Yi had gone to Nanjing to discuss the contract and hadn't returned yet. They might be in Nanjing tonight, but they probably wouldn't log into the game because their gaming helmets were still at home.
Behind me, Beiming Xue shouted, "Big bro, retreat 10 yards! You're too far away! We can't reach you!"
"Mn!"
I swung my sword and unleashed Burning Blade Slash and War Crush. The 10% lifesteal was my trump card, and I dealt almost 100k damage in a single combo. At the same time, I also healed over 10k HP for myself, greatly increasing my survivability.
I kept retreating as I threw Dragon Slaying Slashes into the crowd. I also left a trail of Icy Cyclone Domains in my wake, causing the Hall of Immortality players to wish they were dead.
Finally, when I retreated to the front of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' frontline, Beiming Xue and the others had surrounded me with Volleys, Spiraling Arrow Blades and other skills. The melee fighters who tried to get close to me with Blaze, Ice Ray and Universe Break had to think twice before attacking me. Beiming Xue's Attack was insane, and if they wanted to get close to me, they had to be able to withstand her Spiraling Arrow Blades. There weren't many fighters in the world who could withstand her attacks, and at the very least, more than 90% of them couldn't last more than 6 seconds.
Boom boom boom!
Galaxy Storms kept exploding around my feet. Some of them belonged to us, and some belonged to our enemies. Waves of bone-piercing pain assaulted my senses, and the area within a 10-yard radius of me had turned into a meat grinder. Hall of Immortality's melee players dropped to the ground one after another, but I managed to stay alive thanks to the healing of my priests. I stood there like a live target, not allowing Hall of Immortality's players to take a single step forward. Fans of the book also loved to read:!
Not far away from me, a Level 134 mage with the guild leader symbol on his shoulder spat on the ground and said, "Motherfucker, how domineering, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand. Do you really think you can hold the fort by yourself?
Brothers and sisters, focus your firepower! I refuse to believe that we can't kill Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand! His Magic Resist can't be that high! "
In reality, my Magic Resist was 3710, and if I included the buff, Ghost Deity Armor and other skills, my Magic Resist was around 8000. I could resist at least 70% of the damage from a mage of the same level. It was also the reason why I was able to hold my ground.
A bunch of mages stepped forward and started chanting their spells. They were planning to one-shot me.
I grinned. "Damn you, you wish!"
I abruptly raised my Cyan Netherworld Sword and the light of the Dragon Soul swirling around it grew brighter. I abruptly tossed my longsword into the air, causing it to transform into a spiral of energy that smashed into the enemy's mage camp. I ravaged them like I was harvesting wheat, and after I was done, the sword returned to my hand in a beautiful arc. At the distance, a dozen or so mages collapsed to the ground one after another. Some of them had even activated Martial God, but they still weren't able to block the Sword Boomerang. After all, my actual attack power was over ten thousand, and I had activated Martial God as well. To a mage, my attacks were a nightmare!
… …
It was at this moment a voice came from my right — "Fuck, I can't hold them anymore, I'm going to shit …"
The Level 135 Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls warrior, Wolf Fang, collapsed to the ground before the voice even finished speaking. As expected, his Magic Resist wasn't high enough, and the enemy mages' AoE bombardment had taken care of him!
Finally, the battle had reached a point where everyone was having a hard time. Li Chengfeng, Chaos Moon, Xu Yang, High Fighting Spirits and everyone else's HP had dropped below 50%, and it looked like they were on the verge of collapsing.
