Chapter 720: A Gigolo (1/2)
Just like that, Enlightened Heart was slaughtered by China’s seventh placed CGL Hall of Famer right in front of his own guild members!
Countless volleys of arrows and spells rained down on my armor as I shrugged them off. I no longer felt any pain from the attacks due to the adrenaline coursing through my veins and swung my sword, unleashing Icy Cyclone Domain. A giant icy cyclone appeared instantly, creating a domain that reduced my opponent’s attack and movement speed.
Even though I wasn’t bothered by the arrows and spells that pelted on my armor, the same couldn’t be said for my mount, The Ice Qilin Horse had been hit by countless arrows and cried out pitifully.
”Loose your arrows! Use Mountain Stagger Arrows and eliminate his mount!”
Hatred and anger rose within an elite archer as he barked, ”Bastard! Do you think you can escape unscathed after killing our guild leader? Die!”
My sword trembled as I swung it and unleashed Thousand Ice Slash before growling in a low voice, ”If I wanted to leave, do you think you would be able to stop me?”
……
The Ice Qilin Horse had been hit by countless Mountain Stagger Arrows and even though it was a Earth-Rank Boss mount, it was still unable to withstand such intense attacks. Moreover, some of the enemy’s archers were sixth promoted Earthfire Realm archers. Their attacks were so powerful that it’s tenacity was reduced to a pitiful 4% within a few seconds. God damn, if they kept this up, I would have to fight without a mount!
Swhoosh!
A crimson ray descended from the sky and enveloped me, saving me from the brink of death. Tenacity of the dead had allowed me to recover over forty thousand HP.
The enemy’s attacks were too overwhelming and I could no longer withstand their attacks. Anyone able to handle such intense and continuous attacks was definitely not human. I would have been long dead without my extremely powerful life steal skill.
I swiftly flicked the reins of the horse and started to make my retreat, but could not get very far due to the sheer number of enemies. I frowned and begrudgingly activated Invincible, Shield of Evening!
At this moment, a rider on a flaming red war horse charged at me and shouted, ”Broken Halberd Sinks into Sand, don’t leave! Your daddy has come for your life!”
Ahhhh!!!
He wailed in agony as it seems as if I had broken his back. His Max HP did not even reach fifty thousand and was unable to withstand a single blow of Burning Blade Slash.
I swung my sword and tossed that magic knight’s body to the side before chuckling. Turning to a bunch of Northern Alliance players, I said, ”Want to raid our cities? Come at us if you dare! I’ll be waiting for all of you at Dawn City!”
The sea of Northern Alliance players were utterly stunned by my speech. Every one of them stood rooted to the ground, at a complete loss for words.
I brought a return scroll out from my inventory and crushed it instantly!
Swhoosh!
After returning to Sky City, I clicked on Dawn City on the teleportation page and was swiftly teleported to my destination!
……
The moment I arrived at Dawn City, I headed straight for the blacksmith to repair my equipment. ”Better take advantage of these NPCs while they are still here.” I muttered to myself. The tenacity of the Ice Qilin Horse was back at 100% so I summoned it and flipped myself up onto it. Urging the horse forward, I headed out of the city and straight for the frontlines.
As I drew near to a small hill in Dawn City’s canyon, I noticed that many leaders and core members of the big guilds were gathered there. The head commander, Mr Hot and Sour Noodles was gathered there as well. They turned their heads and placed all their attention on me as I galloped toward them.
He Yi laughed joyfully as she rode on her Dragonlight mount and said, ”Job well done!”
Warsky laughed too and said in a low voice, ”Awesome job dude! Only Lu Chen is capable of something as awesome as killing three Heroic Bannermen in succession, amidst ten thousand enemies!”
Blue Sky Scar hefted his sword over his shoulder, smirked and said, ”If it was the Martial God, he would have definitely accomplished something greater than that!”
Stranger of Three Lifetimes laughed as she held her staff and said, ”Oh? So why was it Lu Chen who dared to go into battle and not the dear Martial God you always speak of?”
Blue Sky Scar growled, ”Mind your own business! Shut Up!”
Stranger of Three Lifetimes raised her brows and said, ”What? Are you asking for a fight? Come at me then! Your momma’s not afraid of you! I can’t believe that someone as trashy as you is a CGL Hall of Famer. I can beat up two of you with one hand! Just you wait, in six months, my CGL Hall of Fame ranking will surely surpass yours!”
Blue Sky Scar gritted his teeth in anger but held his tongue knowing full well that he would never win in an argument against a petty woman. In all honesty, Blue Sky Scar might not even win in a duel against Stranger of Three Lifetimes. After all, an elite mage like her was extremely powerful and her ranking in the solo arena was even higher than Blue Sky Scar’s!
At this moment, Candlelight Shadow gripped his flaming Sword and growled, ”Blue Sky, that’s enough! Squabbles like this won’t help with our battle situation. We need to put our heads together and form a plan to defend our cities from this invasion!”
Hot and Sour Noodles nodded his head and smiled, saying, ”Alright then. Even though Lu Chen did not obey my command, he managed to kill three Heroic Bannermen, boosted the morale of our warriors and taught the Northern Alliance a lesson. Perhaps, they have even started to become fearful because of Lu Chen’s bravery.”
October Rain asked, ”Uncle, we should focus on a plan of attack. I’ve sent some elite players into Windy Trail to block our enemies. However, that didn’t stop the Northern Alliance and they’ve started to enter the canyon by scaling the mountain ranges, completely ignoring the zone map restrictions. It’s only a matter of time before the enemy breaks through our defenses in Windy Trail once they work in collusion from within and without.”
