Chapter 93

TL: The cliff hanger’s worse than the last… This is definitely the last chapter for today!

“Shua!”

[Wind Blade] shoots a blue whirlwind at Corpse Chief’s body . With a violent scream, the Corpse Chief is almost sliced in half . The severed arm’s meaty flesh and bones are crawling with maggots . Truly disgusting . But apparently, such a swift and fierce blow still isn’t enough to kill him . The boss is at 0%, but a sliver of HP still remains . Let’s finish him!

“Take him down!”

[Flying Dragon]’s leader rushed over, once again raising his staff and firing the second promotion spell [Pillars of Fire and Ice] at my feet!

“+600!”

“779!”

By using [Heal] in advance, my HP didn’t plummet . At the same time, on the cliff side, Who’s Blue and Not Yet Red were simultaneously healing me while evading the two Knights chasing them . I barely had enough HP to survive .

“Fuck off!”

A lvl 41 Berserker’s axe begins to dance, as [Flame Axe] ignites on the axe’s edge . [Flying Dragon] has quite a few elite players with the second promotion .

With a calm mind, I see clearly . Hearing the sound of the axe falling behind me, a MISS appears . I had successfully dodged the [Flame Axe]! That type of attack is too obvious . It’s no surprise that I was able to dodge it . And yet, by unsuccessfully attempting to attack me, his name changes color . Quickly, the level 41 Berserker runs out of hp under my stream of attacks .

“Rawr!”

The boss’ tomahawk comes whirling over!

I suddenly duck down, so fast that I barely escape the boss’s attack . Behind me, the tomahawk hacks into a Lv 43 Berserker’s forehead and 1407 damage figure appears . Somehow, this didn’t kill him . Either his gear is very good or he’s put a lot of points into endurance .

My Jade City Sword slashes at his throats, instantly killing him . No red names because his name is already gray .

……

Turning around, I raise my sword and continue to attack . We need to kill this boss . On the cliff side, the Mage and most of the Healers that the Generals invited are almost dead . All the pressure is on me .

The Jade City Sword dances as a constant stream of strikes land onto the boss . Finally, on the third normal attack, the Corpse Chief lets out a scream and falls .

“Shua!”

Gold coins spill out and I rise to Lv 44, a sudden 2 level jump . The Purple tier Boss’s are certainly generous .

At the same time, I reach to pick up the loot: a scarlet helmet, an edged axe, and…… . . there is a blood orange tablet, that’s… . d*mn, the first Guild Creation Tablet!

……

“Pa!”

Holding the token firmly, the several items are stuffed into my bag . The quest is finished!

Not yet!

An [Ice Blade] pierces me through the chest . From behind, a [Flying Dragon] Lv 41 Swordsman’s 1,128 damage [Ice Blade] is a critical hit . At the same time, their leader yells: “Kill him!”

Again, [Pillars of Fire and Ice] hits . Under my feet is scorching hot, as well as a frigid sensation . The next moment, my whole body loses all feeling and I died?!

Dropping to Lv 43, immediately as my spirit leaves my body and I see the blood orange tablet burst out and fall to the ground . Soaring Dragon picks it up and laughs: “Wow, the first Guild Creation Tablet!! Hahaha, with the first Guild Creation Tablet, my [Flying Dragon] guild will start the journey to become the world’s best!! Wonderful!!!”

In the team chat, I yell, “Who’s Blue, what are you waiting for? Revive me, now!”

On top the mountain’s barrier, a scream is heard and Not Yet Red falls . Who’s Blue emerges from the cliff side . With a sword piercing her chest and only 17% HP remaining, she uses the last of her strength to cast——[Revive]!

……

“Shua!”

50% HP/MP . I suddenly appear in my previous spot . My Jade City Sword’s [Combo] explodes on to Soaring Dragon’s Mana Shield with a “bang, bang, bang” and I yell: “Bullying scum . Die!”

His shield began to twist; the toughness decreased . Soaring Dragon’s eyes widened and raising his wand to cast another [Pillar of Fire and Ice], he doesn’t retreat . Is this guy so arrogant that he thinks he can kill me?

“Xiao Yao Zi Zai, you’ll either break through my shield and kill me or die here like a dog,” he laughs .

I swing my sword . After dying once, all my cooldowns are refreshed . Let’s go, [Strength of Thousand Men]!

“Bang bang bang……”

The heavy sound of the successive hits . Apparently, Soaring Dragon did not take into consideration that skill cooldowns disappear after reviving . Under [Strength of Thousand Men], his Mana Shield’s durability sharply drops . How can my attack power be even compared to that of a normal swordsman? “Bang” my ram collides and knocks both him and the shield back, causing a moment of brief dizziness .

“Ugh!”

[Wind Blade], charging up!

Suddenly the impact from [Wind Blade] breaks through his Mana Shield . Under the force of my [Strength of Thousand Men], Soaring Dragon is continuously pushed back, until his back is against the cliff side .

Pa…… . ”

My Silver Locked Boots burst across the ground . I must kill him . Ice crystals fluttering, I use [Fierce Ice Blade]!

“Puchi!”

Blood spurts out of the huge hole my Jade City Sword makes in his chest and the damage number floats out——

“1009!”

A clean hit . There’s practically no chance for him to heal . This is the strength of a swordsman .

…

“Pa!”

I reach out and grab the blood orange tablet that dropped . Trying to withdraw, I feel a sharp pain and smell gunpowder . The musketeers rain down a round of bullets…

In addition to [Chilling Wind] spells, [Ice Cones] are also fired at me . With both my knees hitting the floor, I kneel down and die!

In spirit form, I immediately check my inventory . Damn, my bronze helmet had dropped but none of the items from the boss had dropped . The two pieces of equipment and the tablet were still there . Having high charm is just too nice!

“Shua!”

I appear in the graveyard, in spirit form, with General Li Mu, Wang Jian, and Bai Qi by my side . They stare wide-eyed at me: “Xiao Yao, you were killed off, too? Falling back down to Lv 42, you’ve died twice?”

I stretch out my hands, smiling: “This is the standard outcome . I’m used to dying…… . ”

Li Mu tightening a fist, says: “How’s the situation?”

I smile, taking out an blood orange token from my bag and wave it in my hand: “Guess what this is?”

“Guild Creation Tablet!” Li Mu’s eyes almost burst out . Wang Jian, Bai Qi, and Lian Po all jump up too!

I laugh: “ No, this is the Sacred Fire Tablet……”

“Go to hell!”

“Hahaha, it’s your turn to pay……”

“Ah, of course!”

……

“First, we need to resurrect . All of [Flying Dragon] will probably be busy guarding your body“ Li Mu whispers .

I nod: “Ah, they’ll definitely guard mine, because they know I have the stuff . For now the Sacred Fire Tablet………Oh no, the Guild Creation Tablet cannot be traded to you . First, we need to find a way to resurrect . Let’s look at the situation before we talk further!”

“Ah!”

The group rushes back and the shadow of being completely annihilated by players dissipates with the Guild Creation Tablet .

I appear in the graveyard and sure enough, [Flying Dragon]’s members are now densely clustered around and guarding our bodies . Even Soaring Dragon has revived . Holding his wand, he angrily shouts: “Get in formation! Assassins spread out . Be prepared for them at any time . Do not give them the opportunity to use the City Return Scrolls . We’ll stay here guarding their bodies for 24 hours if we have to!”

……

“Boy, how ruthless, 24 hours…… . ” Li Mu grins .

I also smile: “Then let them guard us for 24 hours . [Flying Dragon] can’t leave their whole guild here to watch over us . When the guards number less than 30 people . We’ll revive and kill them . Then, we’ll see who should fear whom!”

General Bai Qi laughs: “Yes, who’s afraid? Let’s kill them all!”

“Xiao Yao, just a moment ago, that boss seems to have dropped equipment . What was it?

Looking into my bag, I take both the crimson helmet and the axe out . With a wave of my hand, the helmet’s properties appear above——

【Fire Beacon Helmet】（Purple-Tier Equipment）

Type: Armor

Defense：180

Strength：+35

Endurance：+32

MP resistance：magic damage reduction by 2%

Extra：Increases attack power by 4%

Level Requirement：45

……

One look at its properties and I’m shocked . Damn, just the defense from a mere helmet is higher than the Shield of the Broken Army’s . If a Lv 45 player were to get a set of this kind of Purple Tiered armor, wouldn’t they be as thick as iron? Nice!

“Damn, a Purple Tiered helmet!!!” Li Mu’s eyes widen . Laughing: “Congratulations, Xiao Yao . This is godlike quality armor, ah, it also increases your attack power by 4% . Your 1,000 attack now increased by 40 points . Great!”

I am a little embarrassed: “This…… I guess I’ll accept……”

General Wang Jian sincerely says: “Following our agreement, of course it belongs to you . No worries . Look at the other one!”

“Ah . ”

I glance at the axe and smile: “A gold-tiered axe……”

……

【Proud Heaven Axe】（Gold-Tier Equipment）

Attack：340-590

Strength：+27

Endurance：+24

Extra：Increases attack power by 5%

Extra：Ignores 2% of target’s defense

Level Requirement：45

……

Bai Qi’s eyes burn: “Damn, 590 damage!”

I glance at the equipment rankings, and my Jade City Sword has fallen to third place . Surely nothing more can be said about this axe’s power .

Carrying the Proud Heavenly Axe, I say: “If we’re distributing based on use, since I cannot use axe type weapons, how about I give it to Bai Qi?”

Li Mu decidedly shakes his head: “No . We aren’t Jian Feng Han . This kind of weapon definitely doesn’t come cheap . From start to finish, it was you, Xiao Yao, who almost single-handedly fought this boss, so Bai Qi does not deserve to wield this Proud Heaven Axe . Xiao Yao, you’re not a rich man . Sell the axe and exchange the gold for RMB . You’ve never been cruel to us, and you’re still willing to give the Guild Creation Tablet to us . You know, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration for the Guild Creation Tablet to be worth at least a million RMB . ”

I purse my lips: “Ok . I’ll listen to you . I’ll sell it, since right now I’m quite short on money… . ”

Bai Qi laugh: “Ah, understood!”

Wang Jian looks in the distance at the [Flying Dragon] players, with a twisted brow: “How long are these bastards going to guard our bodies for?”

I ponder: “ Only God knows……”

……

A few minutes later, with a “Di”, a message from the beautiful Miss Cang Tong: “Xiao Yao, I hear you and the General Family’s bodies are being guarded by some pitiful kids from [Flying Dragon]?”

“Oh god, bad news spreads way faster than good news…… . ”

Lin Wan Er sends a smiley face: “Right now, I am second-in-command of [Hero Mound] . I can immediately mobilize 500 people to come rescue you . Okay?

I protest: “No . A real man doesn’t take hand outs . I can’t let you come . . ”

Lin Wan Er keeps silent for a few seconds, then says: “I want to save people . That’s all . Do you expect me to stay on the sidelines and do nothing? Wait and watch [Flying Dragon] get swept away!”
