Chapter 818: Tiger Leopard Knigh (1/2)
”Roar roar…”
Suddenly, the Phantom Wolf King lowered its head and growled menacingly at something directly ahead of me. Every hair around its neck was standing on its end. Clearly, my pet had sensed something.
I immediately assumed a cautious stance and slowly spurred my mount forward. Some time later, I started hearing the sounds of fighting and even catching glimpses of fiery light flashing from the darkness. It was obviously the visual effect of Barrier Break.
There’s a battle going on in front of me!
Once I had an inkling what was going on, I rushed forward with almost no hesitation. The enemy was in the open, and I was in the dark. When met with a Gordian knot, the best course of action was to slice it in half!
……
Driving away the darkness in front of me with the light of the Cyan Netherworld Sword, I soon discovered two magic knights battling one another to the death. The first player was a magic knight from Hero City. The other, also a magic knight, was from Candle Dragon. The latter was called ”Tiger Leopard Knight”, and his mount reflected his ID perfectly; an animal that looked like a fusion between a tiger and a leopard. Both combatants seemed to share the same level of strength.
The magic knight from Hero City had excess Attack and slightly inferior Defense, but he had a self-recovery skill that allowed him to gain the upper hand. Tiger Leopard Knight also had great Attack, but there were only so many Barrier Breaks he could tank with one health bar. As it was, he would die to the magic knight from Hero City for sure.
”Fuck!”
Tiger Leopard Knight backed off from his opponent and attempted to escape.
However, the older magic knight let out a scornful laugh and taunted him, ”Is this the extent of the power of a Chinese general? Is the so-called number one guild in China, Candle Dragon, full of cowards like you?”
Tiger Leopard Knight abruptly stopped in his tracks and turned around to face his opponent once more. He gripped his spear tighter and sweared angrily, ”I’m not even afraid to die, and you think I’m afraid of you? Come at me, you motherfucker!”
”Die!”
The older magic knight pierced Tiger Leopard Knight’s shoulder with Barrier Break and dealt 18776 damage, deleting most of his remaining HP immediately.
Tiger Leopard Knight retaliated with a strike to the shoulder himself, but the Hero City magic knight still had over 40% HP. There was no way he could kill him in time!
”This is the end…” Tiger Leopard Knight let out a sigh of resignation and was about to close his eyes.
……
It was time for me to act, or another fearless Chinese general would die in the hands of the enemy. This Tiger Leopard Knight looked rather well-equipped and righteous, and although he belonged to an enemy guild, I couldn’t leave him for dead under these circumstances.
Swhoosh!
Four red divine weapons descended from the sky and immobilized the Hero City magic knight instantly. No matter how hard his mount struggled, it was unable to break free from its confines.
”Dammit, what the hell is this… an ambush?” The older knight finally noticed me as I and the Phantom Wolf King slowly stepped out of the darkness. Keeping the Cyan Netherworld Sword lowered, I smiled at Tiger Leopard Knight and said, ”Well, what are you waiting for? Kill this Northern Alliance knight already.”
”Huh?”
Tiger Leopard Knight exclaimed in shock, ”It’s you, Lu Chen?”
”Less talking, more killing! God Binding Art doesn’t last forever!”
”Got it!”
Tiger Leopard Knight immediately turned on the offense and started hacking away at the older knight. A while later he succeeded, and to the surprise of us both, his opponent dropped a shiny battle armor upon death. It was obviously excellent.
Tiger Leopard Knight picked up the metal armor and passed it to me. He said, ”1-star Outstanding Earth-grade metal armor. It may not be up to your standards, but the kill really belongs to you, so take it.”
”It’s fine.”
I gently pushed away the loot before replying, ”I just used a skill. You were the one who fought him from the beginning and gave it your all, not me.”
While saying this, I glanced at his shoulder and noticed that his title was ”Thousand-man Corps Commander”. I wasn’t expecting him to be such an important person in Candle Dragon!
Seemingly noticing my intent, Tiger Leopard Knight grew alarmed and backed a few steps. ”Candle Dragon and Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls are enemy guilds, and I’m grateful that you helped me in spite of that. That being said, we are enemies, and I’m not about to start betraying my own guild. Come at me if you wish, Lu Chen. Just know that I won’t go down without a fight!”
I sucked in a deep breath before replying, ”Hmph, there’s no point in killing you. For one, you’re not one of Candlelight Shadow’s trusted aides, and two, you and I don’t have a grudge against each other. Be on your way, Tiger Leopard Knight. I wish you luck on the eighth floor. By the way, Wind Fantasy and I have reserved this floor’s boss to ourselves, and I would advise you and the rest of your friends to stay away. I will not show mercy if you try to take it from us. You are not a bad person, and I don’t wish for you and I to become enemies.”
Tiger Leopard Knight lowered his spear and nodded. ”I know. Your virtue is well known, and your courage to face a million enemies alone during the War of Dawn City deserves the respect of all Chinese players. But no matter how much I respect you, I belong to Candle Dragon, and you are from Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. The next time we meet, we meet in battle.”
I smiled. ”That may be true, but today will not be the day we meet in battle. Now leave already, I’m a busy man.”
”Hehe, fine…”
