Chapter 1567: The Knight General Beauties Are Invincible

"Shit!"

Vienna’s Sorrow swore the moment he saw the Xuanyuan Slash’s casting visual effect. While falling toward the ground, he hastily turned the head of a ring on his right hand and basked himself in a sphere of green light. A green number rose from his head—

+7,921,773!

Hmm, it looked like his ring’s active skill could heal its owner for 50% HP. It was a pretty impressive number.[1] Regardless, I was already mid-cast, so this Xuanyuan Slash had to go!

I dove toward Vienna’s Sorrow like a jet fighter and dragged the gigantic golden blade that was the Xuanyuan Slash across the sky. The light struck Vienna’s Sorrow, caused a massive explosion and knocked him straight into the earth. Unfortunately, the Xuanyuan Sword didn’t trigger its septuple damage effect this time, so the resulting damage number was—

3,723,674!

……

While descending, I gripped my fist and struck the forest where Vienna had crashed with the power of my Domain.[2] All the trees in the affected area shuddered, but Vienna’s Sorrow was nowhere to be seen. I glanced to the side. Not only was he several hundred meters away from the impact zone, the golden shroud surrounding his body was clearly an invincibility shield. Vienna’s Sorrow was doing everything he could to survive because he didn’t want his army to be demoralized. He was the number one expert of the Northern Alliance after all. He couldn’t allow himself to become one of the system announcements that had chilled countless hearts already.

Instead of chasing after him, I activated Dark Pupils and dashed into the forest. After I found a huge forest clearing, I took out all the hidden assassins I discovered with Ancient Seals and Dragon Slaying Slashes!

I took out the Teleportation Divine Crystal and set up a new teleportation point. As the magic runes of the blue teleportation formation came to life, the teleportation formation at Dark Moon City turned active as well. I immediately said in the guild channel, "Tell everyone to come over now, Eve! Quickly!"

Mn!"

The words had just barely escaped my lips when He Yi, Beiming Xue, Lian Xin and Murong Mingyue rushed out of the magic formation and took to the sky. Right behind them, Chaos Moon, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun, Heaven’s Rain, Diamond Dust and more Dragonlight Cavalrymen appeared as well. Soon, the hooves 50,000 Dragonlight Cavalrymen and sixty thousand Dragonlight Archers were rocking the entire forest. After them, the Holy Mages, Zephyr Cavalrymen, Thunder Cavalrymen and Iron Cutter Cavalrymen appeared as well. They were led by Song of Ice and Fire, Hickey, Warscar, God Bone, and Song of Cloud and Water.

Song of Cloud and Water trotted up to me and asked, "Do we wait until everyone’s come over, big brother Lu Chen?"

I nodded. "Yes, of course. The enemy has three Dragon Cannons and countless players. We must assemble all of our forces to have a real chance at defeating them. Also, I must remind you all that this battle is the most important and decisive battle of this Nation War. If we lose, Sky City will be taken by the Northern Alliance. Therefore, defeat is not an option!"

Song of Ice and Fire declared with a chuckle, "Don’t worry, vice leader. We will win. With Beauty Heaven’s Rain and Beauty Diamond Dust’s Knight Generals, we are as good as invincible!"

I said, "I get what you mean, but don’t underestimate the enemy. Ice and Fire, Chaos Moon and Ancient Sword will attack the rightmost Dragon Cannon, so you and Soul Battle Robes will attack the leftmost Dragon Cannon. As for the Dragon Cannon at the center, just leave that one to me!"

"Are you sure you can take out a Dragon Cannon by yourself?" God Bone looked a bit skeptical.

I smirked. "Sure! All I need is for Eve to protect me while I use my ultimate!"

"What ultimate?"

"The Purple Dragon Howl!" I revealed honestly since Soul Battle Robes were part of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls now[3]. God Bone chuckled with a look of realization and expressed that he had heard my infamous skill for a long time now.

……

In just 15 minutes, around 1.2 million Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls players had been assembled at the forest. After making sure that everyone had been buffed with stratagems and cards, I flew into the sky and declared, "It is time. Advance toward the valley in front of you! Destroy every Northern Alliance structure and kill every Northern Alliance player you find! When two people meet, only one will emerge the victor. We are the pride of the China server, and we will obtain victory even it costs the last drop of blood in our bodies!"

After my players raised their weapons in response, they began marching toward the valley in front of us. A lot of Hero Alliance players popped up along the way in an attempt to stop us, but they were easily crushed by the hooves of the Dragonlight Cavalry. Plus, top-tier players like me, He Yi, Beiming Xue, Lian Xin and more were leading at the forefront. Vienna’s Sorrow, the one player who could stop us just barely escaped certain doom a while ago, so he wasn’t willing to tempt fate again, at least not now.

……

Crack…

The green brambles were trampled down to nothing as the Dragonlight Cavalry reached the valley entrance faster than any other troops. The Northern Alliance hadn’t expected us to show up this quickly, so the defense at the choke point was incredibly weak. One cavalryman shouted as him and several hundred others to climb up their mounts, "What the fuck? How did the Chinese show up without warning? Are the scouts blind or something? Shield formation! We need to set up a shield formation as soon as possible!"

Chiang!

I unsheathed the Xuanyuan Sword and yelled succinctly, "Don’t bother wasting time on them! Charge!"

Chaos Moon, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun, Heaven’s Rain and more unsheathed their blades and ran right through the players like they didn’t even exist. The valley was extremely vast. Now I understood how it had managed to fit 1.6 million Northern Alliance players. Some distance away, I spotted Vienna’s Sorrow and several hundred thousand cavalrymen already making a charge toward us. The man sure was a fast worker. The true test was finally upon us!

I glanced at the three Dragon Cannons set up around the valley. The Dragon Cannon at the center was at most 2,000 yards away from the valley entrance, meaning that it wouldn’t take much effort for it to hit us. I will have to play this out carefully to preserve as many Dragonlight Cavalrymen as possible!

Pa!

I abruptly sped up while yelling, "Leave Vienna’s Sorrow to me! The rest of you just focus on reaching the Dragon Cannons and taking it out as soon as possible! Holy Mages, advance in a tight formation! This battle WILL end with our victory!"

On the other side, a fully-buffed Vienna’s Sorrow also left his forces to engage me in the middle. Before he reached me, he buffed his Strength by 70% using Iron Arm Reinforcement. Until the skill wore off, Vienna’s Sorrow would be the player with the highest Strength in the entire world. Not even my Strength was a match for his!

I fired Thousand Ice Slash, and he, Beast Howl Slash. Neither of us gave an inch as our skills and swords clashed against each other!

Clang!

Sparks scattered everywhere, and a shock wave spread out from the point of impact. Our Domains fought for dominance as Vienna’s Sorrow uttered with steely eyes, "Show me how strong you are, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand!"

He exerted himself and was able to push me dozens of meters away from him. Just how much Strength does this motherfucker have?

I kicked the air and rushed toward Vienna’s Sorrow once more. This time, I executed Burning Blade Slash!

Vienna’s Sorrow’s eyes were bloodshot as he met my attack head-on with Berserk Triple Slash. As if on cue, he activated a shield to protect himself, and I, the Profound Armor[4]. The time to give it our all was now!

Bang bang bang…

My Burning Blade Slash dealt over 8 million damage to the American god, but his Berserk Triple Slash was all critical hits. Not even Profound Armor was strong enough to resist that much power—

1,988,674!

2,189,838!

2,345,672!

……

I abruptly kicked Vienna’s Sorrow in the chest and activated Flying Dragon Hands. As his metal armor suddenly vanished into thin air, Vienna’s Sorrow exclaimed in shock, "Fuck[5]!"

Swhoosh!

It was at this moment a Dark Meteor Arrow engulfed me in flames. It was Da Vinci Code’s Divine General Skill!

I backed a few meters as Vienna’s Sorrow retreated. His body was surrounded by the light of the Anti-Magic Potion probably because he was afraid that I would take his life with the Xuanyuan Art. For now, he managed to escape from my clutches, but Da Vinci Code wouldn’t be as lucky. Out of seemingly nowhere, Lian Xin entered the fray and froze the Shadow Archer with a freezing spell!

"BEIMING!" I shouted at the same time I bent my torso all the way back. With my full might, I threw a 90-yard-long Coiling Dragon Revolution!

Beiming Xue changed her stratagem to Range and fired a super-long-range Evil Spirit Volley as well!

Thud thud thud…

Da Vinci Code could only shoot us a wide-eyed look as Evil Spirit Volley shaved away at his HP chunk after chunk. Finally, the Xuanyuan Sword pierced through his chest and ended his life, dealing over 3 million damage. It was a horrific way to die for sure!

……

Ding!

System Announcement: Attention all players, player "Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand" (China) killed the Heroic Bannerman "Da Vinci Code" (USA) and obtained 10% of their contribution points, 242,779 points!

The Xuanyuan Sword’s blade was covered in blood when I caught it, so I shook it off in one smooth motion before casting the Xuanyuan Art. A red shock wave instantly engulfed all the players within 1,000 yards of me and removed 70% of their HP, allowing the Dragonlight Cavalry to run over them like grass.

The more I used the Xuanyuan Sword, the more I felt that it was the king of all swords and the absolute dominator of all battlefields. It possessed abilities that the other eleven Divine Armaments couldn’t even hope to match. Take Gui Guzi’s Ghostblade Halberd for example. Thousand Ghosts Descent was powerful, but to call it the poor man’s version of the Xuanyuan Art would still be an insult to the Xuanyuan Sword.

"Kill! Attack at full force!" I shouted.

Beiming Xue said, "Should I tell Li Chengfeng and big brother Little Gui to attack now, big bro?"

However, I shook my head and said, "Not yet. Give it another ten minutes or so. Vienna’s Sorrow will definitely ask Tear Stain to help him if the situation here gets dangerous. Only then will Chengfeng and Little Gui be able to assist us without worries!"

Beiming Xue giggled. "You’re so smart, big bro. I love you!!"

Me: "..."

……

Just a few minutes later though, Li Chengfeng sent me a message that was bristling with impatience: "Bro, I can literally hear the sounds of your battle from here. Is it time yet? Can we join you already? You’re not cheating me out of my contribution points, are you!?"

1. E/N: Xuanyuan Art? ☜

2. E/N: Xuanyuan Art? Hello? XUANYUAN ART? ☜

3. E/N: Literally everyone knows you have Purple Dragon Howl since like chapter 300. ☜

4. E/N: Yo author, it’s a bit late to make this into “We are practically equal, we use the same skills, we make the same decisions”. Lu Chen already beat his ass for no apparent reason a chapter ago. And somehow Lu Chen is still surprised by Vienna’s Strength stat after buff… you just fought it dude! ☜

5. E/N: Are you surprised Vienna? He did that literally last chapter too, but I do agree, it was a questionable choice. ☜
