Thud thud thud...
The Northern Alliance players stumbled a few steps back in shock. Blade of Kings felt extremely humiliated as he spat, "Pooh! You cowardly cockroaches! What's there to be afraid of? Kill him! Kill him!"
A group of unarmed players immediately advanced cautiously.
I waved my hand and unleashed Icy Cyclone Domain. Icicles wreaked havoc in front of me, causing the players who stepped into the domain to lose HP like crazy.
"Roar roar …"
The Phantom Wolf King let out a low growl as it crouched beside the Armored Ice Qilin Horse. Its blood-red fur stood on end.
… …
Blade of Kings pointed his axe at the enemy and shouted, "Kill!"
Behind me, a group of cavalry and countless archers rushed forward and nocked their arrows the moment they were within range!
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh...
Cold light flashed through the air, but I couldn't care less about the arrows that were raining down on me at this point. I forcefully endured the onslaught of arrows as I abruptly increased my speed and swept my sword horizontally. Three consecutive Burning Blade Slashes slashed through the crowd of enemies, and countless magic knights collapsed into pools of blood. A vacuum had formed in front of me.
Ruff ruff!
The warhorse whinnied as it charged forward. After that, I abruptly changed my speed and moved horizontally. I raised my sword and used Thousand Ice Slash, killing a bunch of archers who were shooting arrows. At the same time, the Phantom Wolf King also attacked from the side. This was a critical battle, so I didn't let the Phantom Wolf King do as it pleased. Instead, I chose to control the Phantom Wolf King's movements so that it wouldn't take any unnecessary damage. Only then would it be able to last a little longer.
Swhoosh!
My apparition danced in the air as my apparition dashed into a group of Northern Alliance players and unleashed Burning Blade Slash + War Crush combo.
At the same time, my chest took almost a hundred hits in a row and my HP dropped to less than half.
I raised my arm and a bloody light descended from the sky. Tenacity of the Dead had recovered 25% of my HP. At the same time, I swung my sword and unleashed Sword Boomerang at a group of enemies.
I attacked in all directions but never strayed more than 20 yards away from the Life Barrier. This way, I could suppress the enemy's ranged attacks and protect the Life Barrier. Every second counted. This was my only option. If I didn't, the tens of millions of China players would've been sacrificed for nothing.
…
"Crazy, they're all crazy!"
Blade of Kings raised his battle axe and said with a cold look in his eyes, "I can't believe that a China brat can come and go as he pleases. Who does he think we are?
Archers above Level 150, gather around me! Use Shock Arrows to stun this kid and kill him! Grief of the Dark, attack him with Galaxy Storms! "
"Alright!"
Under the cover of a dozen or so magic knights, the high-level Magician closed in and unleashed a Galaxy Storm!
“17378！”
Damn it, it's so painful!
I raised my hand, God Binding Art!
“MISS！”
Goddammit, I knew that my God Binding Art wouldn't be able to restrain this shielded mage, and my Burning Blade Slash and Thousand Ice Slash wouldn't be able to one-shot him either. There was no solution at all!
Left with no choice, I endured the Galaxy Storm and continued to fight. How long I could last would depend on the 10% lifesteal of the Cyan Netherworld Sword!
After wreaking havoc for a full three minutes, I finally heard a whistle and an arrow blossomed in front of my chest. At the same time, I was stunned. I had no idea where this group of high-level archers had come from, but their stun rate against me was extraordinarily high. Fans of the novel loved to read: "What the f * ck!"
Boom boom boom...
Galaxy Storms, Spiraling Arrow Blades, Devil Piercing Arrows and Dragon's Roars rained down on me one after another, causing my HP to drop like crazy.
I hurriedly used Tenacity of the Dead to recover 25% of my HP, but I couldn't hold on any longer. My HP continued to drop, and I finally reached my limit!
Puchi!
A magic knight charged me and stabbed his sword into my chest.
I died, but the Resurrection Art allowed me to revive at full health. I immediately grabbed the magic knight's hilt and shouted, "What?
How is this possible?! "
"Pu!"
The Cyan Netherworld Sword pierced through his back and activated Burning Blade Slash!
Boom!
The magic knight's body was torn apart like a falling leaf, and the Northern Alliance players behind him were all killed as well. Every time I died, my Attack would increase by 10% while I was online!
… …
Blade of Kings grew anxious as well. He waved his battle axe and shouted, "Charge! How many Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen do we have left? Charge! Kill him!"
The sound of horse hooves thundered through the air as the remaining ten thousand Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen charged forward!
I couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. It's these annoying cavalrymen again. Fuck!
Boom boom boom!
The Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen unleashed a Blaze Attack before they could even get close to me. My HP plummeted, and I spurred the Armored Ice Qilin Horse to the right and used War Crush and Thousand Slash at the same time, recovering about 17% of my HP. At the same time, I slashed left and right, trying to take advantage of the chaos.
Roar roar roar!
Dragon's Roar continued to chase after me, so I couldn't afford to stop for even a second. My mind was clear, and I was in peak condition. I kept moving as I weaved through the crowd of Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen. My sword flashed as I cut down the elite Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen one by one.
Swhoosh swhoosh!
I was unfortunately stunned again after two Charges. Almost a hundred Dragon's Roars hit me at the same time, and a tearing pain shot through my body. I lost another level, and my Attack was increased to 20%!
"Die!"
My Blade Boomerang cut through a group of mages and killed them instantly. Grief of the Dark couldn't help but retreat in shock. "Fuck, this guy's Attack is getting higher and higher. Is he even human?!"
I was no longer summoning the Phantom Wolf King. Instead, I would summon my apparition every time I revived and use Purple Dragon Howl, Burning Blade Slash and War Crush to kill hundreds of enemies. After that, the apparition's life and death had nothing to do with me anymore. Without Ghost Deity Armor, the apparition's Defense was too weak, and it couldn't withstand such an intense battle.
… …
Inside the barrier, Luo River God of the Capital, Chaos Moon, and everyone else were stunned by what they saw. "Lu Chen … he's so strong!!" Luo River God of the Capital whispered.
Luo River God of the Capital nodded. "If Purple Lily had a general like him, our cavalry wouldn't have been wiped out so early …"
Chaos Moon said, "That idiot Lu Chen is putting his life on the line. Is he planning to trade his level for three hours?
That's impossible. There's no way he can hold off the enemy for so long … "
He Yi gripped the Blade of the Earthen Soul tightly and said anxiously, "Are … are we really going to watch Lu Chen put his life on the line?"
Murong Mingyue put a hand on her shoulder and said, "Eve, I know you're worried, but none of us have Lu Chen's stats, and we don't have a skill as powerful as Resurrection Art. So, let's not trouble him and just watch quietly. You once said that Lu Chen is our Divine General, and now is the time for him to prove it. Fans love to read:!"
He Yi bit her red lips and stood there silently. Her beautiful eyes were filled with worry and reluctance.
… …
Chiang chiang chiang...
A knight's Triple Slash hit my shoulder and dealt almost ten thousand damage. However, I didn't let up in the slightest and grabbed the edge of his sword. Then, I thrust the Cyan Netherworld Sword at him — Universe Break!
“47266！”
My Universe Break nearly one-shot this magic knight who didn't have any buffs. I swung my sword and killed him. The Armored Ice Qilin Horse abruptly raised its front hooves and stomped the ground three times. The melee players around me immediately howled in pain as they lost three whole chunks of HP in a row. Many of them died on the spot, and I managed to recover tens of thousands of HP from the damage I had dealt to them.
Bang bang bang...
A flurry of burning arrows landed behind me. I hurriedly turned around and threw the Cyan Netherworld Sword. Then, I raised my hand and used Dragon Slaying Slash!
Sword Boomerang exploded in the middle of a group of players. At the same time, I used Dragon Slaying Slash to one-shot a Level 157 archer. High-level and well-equipped players like him had to be treated with special care. This was so that I could last a little longer.
Galaxy Storms continued to wreak havoc around me, and Mountain Stagger Arrows kept hitting the Armored Ice Qilin Horse's body. I didn't dare to let my mount deactivate because I would respawn on the spot without a mount. With such concentrated firepower, I wouldn't have the time to summon my mount.
Boom!
The burning flames tore apart my Crimson Rock Dragon Armor, and I collapsed to the ground. This time, I activated Immortality and respawned on the spot for free!
… …
"Fuck, is this bastard unkillable?" a group of people shouted.
Blade of Kings raised his battle axe and said, "Keep firing! We'll definitely kill him! Hmph, I don't believe that he can survive all of our firepower alone!"
"Get lost!"
I shouted and sent a group of magic knights flying with Burning Blade Slash. Many of them died on the spot, but the slaughter didn't stop. The reason I was able to defend the Life Barrier wasn't because I was unkillable, it was because my Attack was so high that no one could get past my net of firepower.
… …
Time passed by slowly. An hour felt like an eternity, but I had dropped to Level 150, died 10 times, increased my Attack by 100%, and triggered Immortality 13 times. In reality, I had died a total of 23 times, and the Northern Alliance hated me to the bone. I had killed at least tens of thousands of their troops while I was blocking the way.
"Out of the way, I'll deal with this bastard!"
Finally, Blade of Kings charged toward me with a cold look in his eyes. He shouted, "Cover me! Archers, stun him with Shock Arrows!"
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh...
The arrows flew in all directions. Miraculously, they really did stun me!
Swhoosh!
Blade of Kings charged toward me and raised his battle axe high into the air. He used Barrier Break + Triple Slash to hit my armor!
"27616. Book fans also like to read:!"
“17633！”
“18229！”
“17387！”
A string of damage numbers flew above my head, and I died before I could recover from the stun. Goddammit, thank god I activated Immortality this time, or I would've dropped below the sixth-promotion rank. I wouldn't have had the chance to learn the Earthfire Realm transformation or the Divine General Skill at all!
Thud!
I grabbed Blade of Kings by the collar and scanned him with Dark Pupils. His right shoulder was his weak point, so I thrust the Cyan Netherworld Sword into it and used Universe Break + Burning Blade Slash!
Bang! Bang!
Chaotic energy exploded, and Blade of Kings let out a cry of pain as he was killed!
