"Kill! Book fans love to read:!"
Gui Guzi, High Fighting Spirits, Xu Yang and the rest of the hot-blooded warriors couldn't hold on any longer. An Immortal Rank boss that dropped Immortal-grade equipment was one of the biggest temptations, but the other was the fact that our archenemy was Candle Dragon. Everyone had been waiting to crush Candle Dragon's reputation since a long time ago, so how could they let go of such a good opportunity?
The sound of horse hooves thundered across the valley. Nearly a hundred elite Dragonlight Cavalrymen were leading the charge, followed by the Frostscale Cavalry and Purple Dragon Cavalry. In fact, even Purple Lily, Blazing Hot Lips, Hunting Moon Dynasty and Hegemon Palace had shown up. This Immortal Rank boss was as attractive as it seemed. So many top-tier guilds had gathered here.

I ran at the frontline with the Cyan Netherworld Sword at my side. The Phantom Wolf King kept pace with me the entire time, as if it was afraid that it would be ambushed the moment it left my side.
Thud thud thud...
The sound of horse hooves gradually grew louder and louder. We also noticed that the valley entrance was covered in bushes and craggy rocks. It was a very bad place for cavalry to charge. This was probably why Candle Dragon had left almost a thousand mages and archers behind to defend the valley entrance. In this kind of terrain, a mount's movement speed would be reduced by at least 75%, which was deadly.
A group of archers appeared at the top of the mountain range, and their leader was none other than Transient Smoke and Clouds. Transient Smoke and Clouds let out a hearty laugh as he looked down at the group of players below him. "Far Shot! Use Mountain Stagger Arrows and Shock Arrows to dismount these Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls cavalry!
God's Dance nodded with a smile and said confidently, "Don't worry, we won't let you down!"
Thud thud thud thud...
The sound of arrows leaving their bowstrings filled the air. In the next moment, a volley of arrows covered the sky. Most of them were Mountain Stagger Arrows, a skill that could quickly reduce a mount's tenacity. It was manageable for a player with two Immortal-grade equipment like me, but it was deadly for the cavalry with poor equipment.
Bang bang bang!
Gui Guzi, Li Chengfeng, and the others' Movement Speed was further affected by the arrows. Fortunately, the attack power was not that great, and it was not fatal.
God's Dance raised her scepter and smiled disdainfully. "First echelon, freeze them with Arctic Rain. Second echelon, deal damage with Flame Blast and Fire Dragon Spell. Third echelon, use Galaxy Storms. I want these Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls players to have a taste of fire and ice at the same time!"
Magic energy surged, and the entire valley entrance fell into a deathly stillness. In the next moment, countless magic lights erupted. Arctic Rain, Fire Dragon, Galaxy Storm, and other skills wreaked havoc, enveloping the entire outer perimeter of the valley. It was extremely terrifying!
"Boom boom boom!"
I hurriedly chugged down a Saint Spirit Potion as my HP continued to drop. Not far away from me, a couple of Dragonlight Cavalrymen couldn't take this much damage and fell off their mounts while screaming in pain. God's Dance and her party's Magic Attack was just too powerful! God's Dance had activated her stratagem, Mage Soul, which greatly increased her Magic Attack. It was a nightmare for a heavily-armored party like the Dragonlight Cavalry!
"Fuck, how are they so strong …"
Li Chengfeng dismounted from his mount and charged toward the archers. He activated Great Earth Transformation and activated Battle Soul Possession. The Augustus' Spear swept across the four archers and knocked them to the ground. Gui Guzi, Chaos Moon, and the others also abandoned their mounts. Their mounts were nothing more than a burden at a time like this. They might as well walk!
"Ahhhh …"
Dozens of Dragonlight Cavalrymen died in an instant. They were all elites who had been buffed by Knight God, and it hurt my heart to see them die here. I was planning to send them to attack White Horse City, but I didn't expect them to die at the hands of their own people.
Beiming Xue dismounted and canceled the Armored Ice Qilin Horse. Then, she leaped out of my arms and dashed into the forest. She turned into a long-range hunter and kept killing Candle Dragon players.
Thud thud thud...
My Stormy Waves War Boots stomped against the rocks as I swiftly leaped forward. Then, I raised my sword and used Thousand Ice Slash to freeze a group of mages at the entrance of the valley. Then, I used Burning Blade Slash and killed a whole group of mages in one go. At the same time, I raised my palm and threw 5 Ancient Seals at the densely packed Candle Dragon players within a 100-yard radius.
Screams of pain filled the air as nearly a hundred archers and mages were killed in an instant. A Candle Dragon player immediately shouted, "Fuck, this won't do! The Divine General is too strong! None of us can stop Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand!"
God's Dance immediately shouted, "Cast … cast that!
No matter how strong Lu Chen is, his divinity is limited. Let's just let him use up all his divinity. Hmph! Mages, focus your attacks and kill them! Kill their most elite knights! "
At God's Dance's command, nearly a hundred mages waved their scepters and unleashed Galaxy Storms that ravaged the Bramble Region. The Dragonlight Cavalrymen started dying one after another, and even the two beautiful female knights at the front, Diamond Dust and Heaven's Rain, let out screams of pain as they retreated with low HP.
"Protect Rain and Clear Sky …"
Chaos Moon charged forward and hit the valley entrance with Rock Crush, but she failed to one-shot anyone. The enemy mages' Magic Shields were strong enough to withstand Chaos Moon's attack.
"Dragon's Roar!"
God's Dance's eyes turned cold as a group of mages focused their attacks on Chaos Moon. Roars rang out as Chaos Moon's HP plummeted. She was nearly one-shot, and she tumbled into the brambles with only 5% HP remaining. Her face was deathly pale. "OMG, how is she so strong?
Li Chengfeng took advantage of the situation and flew into the air. The image of a dragon circled around him as he shouted, "Dragonblade Revolution! Die!"
The AoE skills immediately rained down and killed almost a hundred mages, but Candle Dragon's mages quickly took their place.
God's Dance's beautiful eyes were clear as she said without hesitation, "Focus fire on Legendary Brave! Use your most powerful skills and one-shot him!"
In an instant, magic began to howl. Special spells such as Freezing Wind Blades and Explosive Flames were unleashed. We had greatly underestimated the strength of Candle Dragon's magic army. Everyone else, take a look.
"Fuck!"
Li Chengfeng cried out loudly. He flipped over and landed on the ground. Amidst the chaotic bombardment of spells, he was blasted left and right like a broken leaf. He retreated in a sorry state. In the blink of an eye, his HP was only maintained at around 20%.
… …
"Save Li Chengfeng!"
I hurriedly rushed forward as the Phantom Wolf King roared and unleashed Purgatory Storm. I swung the Cyan Netherworld Sword and used Thousand Ice Slash, Burning Blade Slash, and seven Ancient Seals at the same time. I had done everything I could to save Li Chengfeng.
Beiming Xue appeared at the edge of the forest and raised her bow. Well of the Abyss!
Boom!
A small part of the valley entrance twisted as the Abyss of the Abyss descended, tearing a lot of mages and archers into the ground. Beiming Xue was still the most reliable person in this critical moment. She instantly reduced my attack radius by at least 30%.
Bang bang bang...
Dragon's Roar kept raining down on my Heaven-burning Armor. Even with my super high Magic Resist, my HP kept dropping. By the time I covered Li Chengfeng, Diamond Dust, and Heaven's Rain's retreat, I only had 4% HP left. I was drenched in cold sweat.
Everyone was speechless as they stared at the Candle Dragon mages hiding in the forest at the valley entrance.
… …
Transient Smoke and Clouds stood under a birch tree and laughed arrogantly. "How is it? You don't dare to come?
Haha, I look down on Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. You guys are fucking cripples. No matter how strong your melee classes are, you don't have any mages. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls is a super guild without any mages. How dare a guild like that claim to be the number one guild in the world?
Pooh, you guys are far from it. You'll have to depend on us, Candle Dragon, hahahaha … "
Li Chengfeng, Gui Guzi, and the others gritted their teeth so hard that they nearly broke their steel teeth. They raised their weapons and shouted, "Fuck, we're going to fight that bastard to the death! How shameless! Everyone else, just watch!"
I hurriedly said, "Calm down, can't you tell? Transient Smoke and Clouds isn't an idiot. He's just trying to goad you guys into attacking us. We're heavy armor classes, so we can't afford to be unlucky!"
Behind us, a silver bell rang. Lin Yixin had arrived. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said angrily, "Candle Dragon is too shameless! Purple Marquis, lead everyone and charge! We'll take them down in one go!"
It was at this moment we heard a long, terrifying hiss. A group of Candle Dragon mages abruptly collapsed to the ground at the entrance of the valley as a straight line of flames engulfed everyone. Then, a gigantic creature appeared. It was actually a multicolored python that looked like a dragon. It let out a roar as it scuttled out of the valley entrance. Candlelight Shadow, Blue Sky Scar, and the others followed closely behind it. They had clearly lost the boss's aggro.
"Fuck, aggro the boss!" Transient Smoke and Clouds shouted.
Candlelight Shadow's face was deathly pale. "Behind us, the Northern Alliance is coming for us. Be careful, there's a female mage with super high Attack!"
"What?!"
Before Transient Smoke and Clouds could react, countless biting cold wind blades suddenly appeared behind him. Then, with a series of continuous slashes, Candle Dragon's number one archer actually died just like that!
It was a super powerful attack skill, Dimensional Storm!
… …
Thud thud...
A pair of small boots stood at the entrance of the valley as a petite female mage rushed out of the valley. She was wearing a dark blue robe and holding a long magic staff. She was wearing a black cloak that covered her face, making it hard to see her face clearly. However, it was clear that she was very angry. She said while panting with rage, "These bastards, they actually dared to steal my Boss, they're courting death …"
Dozens of Northern Alliance players charged out from behind the female Mage. Their aura was quite intimidating. Fans of the book loved to read:
For a time, the boss became secondary. The appearance of this female mage put a lot of pressure on the China players.
Warsky raised his sword and growled, "At the Heavens, Lin Bing Dou Zhe, Hundred Battler, go! Kill this female mage! Little Rain, support her from afar!"
"Mn!"
Laughing At The Heavens spurred his mount to the front while Lin Bing Dou Zhe and Hundred Battler followed closely behind him.
Not only that, Candlelight Shadow also turned around and growled, "Blue Sky Scar, Tempest Shadow, Tiger Leopard Knight, the three of you attack together! This female mage isn't someone those Warsky Alliance players can handle!"
"Got it!"
Dozens of high-level players from Candle Dragon also joined the fight.
Lin Yixin and I exchanged a glance with each other. Just how strong was this female mage? Not even Warsky Alliance's first-rate experts were a match for her?
… …
Almost a hundred elite China players launched their attack at the same time!
"Hehe …"
The female mage actually smiled and waved her staff. Her whole body was covered in a dense light, as if something was condensing in the air. In the next moment, seven or eight balls of light fell on the crowd and exploded into an octagonal force field. There was a vacuum inside, and no one could enter the force field. The force field was surrounded by dense light, like an iron wall.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Laughing At The Heavens, Lin Bing Dou Zhe and the others hit the ground hard. The forcefield was like a small mountain that they couldn't cross, so they had no choice but to circle around it.
"Fuck, Origin Force Field?
What kind of skill is this … "Blue Sky Scar complained bitterly.
Everyone started circling around her, but the female mage continued to smile and wave her scepter. A couple of black lights descended from the sky and slowed Blue Sky Scar and the others to a crawl.
Gravity Trap! It reduced movement speed by 75%!
Even I was turning a little green in the face.
"She's here!"
Lin Bing Dou Zhe was the first person to get close to the female mage. He raised his sword and attacked her!
The other warriors also followed up with Barrier Break. If they hit her at the same time, they would be able to one-shot her!
… …
Thud thud thud...
The petite female mage retreated a couple of steps and waved her scepter again. Icy energy immediately filled the air around her, and complicated runes appeared on the ground. Then, the Ice Spiral Blades rained down from the sky and hit everyone. The warriors screamed in pain and died at the same time. Lin Bing Dou Zhe's HP was slightly higher than the rest, but he was forced to retreat with less than 10% HP. His face was deathly pale.
"Goddammit, how dare you!"
Warsky couldn't take it anymore. He zigzagged a couple of times to avoid the Origin Force Field and charged the female mage with Flowing Light Slash + Cyan Tiger Shatter!
The female mage was startled. She clearly hadn't expected Warsky to be so fast. She hurriedly retreated, the Magic Shield on the surface of her body distorting as it blocked Warsky's attack. At the same time, the female mage raised her staff and cast an Origin Force Field at Warsky's position. Bang! Warsky was forcibly pushed back a few meters, completely losing his original position.
Dimensional Storm!
Ice Spiral Matrix!
Warsky's HP plummeted to very low after two waves of Magic of Death descended upon him. He retreated with a grimace on his face and a look of anger and humiliation on his face. "Fuck …"
… …
"Chiang! Fans like to read:!"
Lin Yixin pulled out her blade and said with a frosty expression, "I can't take this anymore …"
I couldn't hold back any longer. I raised my sword and dashed toward Lin Yixin, moving even faster than her. Burning Blade Slash and Barrier Break surrounded my sword energy, ready to strike at a moment's notice. As long as I hit this mage, she would die for sure!
Swhoosh!
Burning Blade Slash whistled through the air, but the female mage quickly waved her scepter and parried the attack twice. The third hit landed on her Magic Shield. It was a Telekinetic Shield, so it wouldn't shatter that easily. It only twisted a little and lost about 35% of its durability.
Swhoosh!
The Cyan Netherworld Sword activated its Universe Break without pause. My eyes turned cold as I shouted, "Die!"
At this critical moment, the audience held their breaths. Gui Guzi's mouth fell open as he murmured, "Boss Broken Halberd, kill her …"
… …
Thud!
The female mage gently reached out and grabbed my sword. Then, she said in a sweet voice, "Lu Chen, it's me …"
When the cloak was lifted, a youthful yet beautiful face appeared in front of me.
