Chapter 1050: My Pride

"Well done! Kill Breeze and Rain first!"

I charged toward the frozen duo but was immediately blocked by a couple of Beast King Cavalrymen. They moved in crooked lines, and they came at me in a flawless triangular formation and Barrier Breaks burning around their blades. They were clearly experts, and they were trained to deal with a top-tier expert like me.

I raised my sword up high. If I couldn’t breach their formation with skill, then I would do it with stats!

Pa pa pa!

I spurred my mount to move in an arc until I found a good angle to cut into the triangular formation. Then, I charged forward and hit all of them with Burning Blade Slash. Not only that, I even made sure that the final two hits of my skill would hit Breeze and Rain right before it hit its max range and dissipated!

"Grr…"

Breeze and Rain might be frozen, but he had a full view of what was coming for him. He gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do except watch the Burning Blade Slash tear apart his armor and wound him twice—

79202!

91023!

I realized I had fucked up, however. The skill failed to one-shot Breeze and Rain because the Frozen status effect increased Defense, and I had forgotten about it!

Whoosh!

I immediately followed up with Coiling Dragon Revolution!

Swhoosh!

While the spinning blade flew toward Breeze and Rain, I dashed toward a certain position so that it would hit God of War when it returned to me. Never say never to killing two birds with one stone!

Our archers were also shooting arrows at the two Indian experts, but unfortunately, their damage was fairly negligible. Worse, about 20 priests had crawled out of the nearby bushes and dropped their heals on the duo, making them even harder to kill. This was without mentioning we were dodging the Lightning Arrows while trying to kill them.

Chaos Moon, He Yi, Gui Guzi and even Purple Marquis himself had been stunned by the Lightning Arrows and couldn’t help me kill God of War and Breeze and Rain. Thankfully, Stranger of Three Lifetimes and Luo River God of the Capital were available to fire their magic spells, and Moonkiss entered stealth so she could land a devastating combo.

Swhoosh!

By now, Coiling Dragon Revolution was right in front of Breeze and Rain. It should be enough to one-shot the Agility Warrior if it hit. Just in case, I dropped 5 Ancient Seals around the duo so that there was no way for them to escape!

Crack…

However, my expectations were once again shattered by the sound of breaking ice. What the fuck? Absolute Zero’s freezing effect is gone already!?

Pa! Breeze and Rain and God of War crouched and rolled on the ground immediately after they regained their movement, successfully dodging my Coiling Dragon Revolution with inches to spare. At the same time, Breeze and Rain activated his invincibility skill, killed three Purple Lily magic knights who were blocking his way as he shot up to his feet, and dashed straight toward their guild leader, Luo River God of the Capital!

However, Luo River God of the Capital was known as the number one mage of China. Killing her was no easy feat!

She brought her scepter to bear and cast Magic Repel, causing Breeze and Rain to faceplant into a mini magic barrier. Stifling a painful groan, the Agility Warrior took half a step backward, zigzagged around the barrier and charged again. His reaction was just too fast. It took him only the blink of an eye to reorganize his attack.

"Hah!"

He used Soul Capture again, and even Luo River God of the Capital had no choice but to Blink away from it. Breeze and Rain was invincible right now, so there was no way to threaten him. If he landed his Soul Capture, Barrier Break would one-shot her for sure.

……

Swhoosh swhoosh…

After the super mage Blinked away, Breeze and Rain abruptly changed directions and dashed toward another mage, piercing her chest with Barrier Break. She was none other than our very own Yu Tong. The girl had been caught completely off-guard, and she died after suffering over 100k damage.

Breeze and Rain didn’t pause to admire his kill. Although he only had 25% HP left, he healed himself with his recovery skills while running toward his next chosen target, killing them as well. Then, after empowering himself with Blazing Wind Art, he jumped into a group of Dragonlight Cavalry and slashed horizontally in a half-arc, killing 14 of them at the same time! For a time, he seemed completely unstoppable!

Beiming Xue backed away from Breeze and Rain while ordering her Dragonlight Archers, "Stop him with Shock Arrows!"

"Heh. The dark archer, is it?"

Catching her words, Breeze and Rain turned toward her with a smile and broke into a brisk run. He ran like a snake and dodged practically all the arrows that were shot his way. There was no rhyme or reason behind his movement at all, the guy was just moving however he felt like. It made it incredibly difficult to predict where he would go next and land a successful stun.

Swhoosh!

Breeze and Rain executed a triple-hit Blazing Slash once he got close enough to Beiming Xue. The stubborn girl immediately pulled out her dagger, dismounted and parried two of the three slashes flying toward her direction. Unfortunately, there was no dodging the third slash, so she bent her head backward and withstood the attack with her shoulder. It was the best way to minimize the damage she took.

72983!

However, one hit was all Breeze and Rain needed to ensure that his next score was fatal. A cone of fire abruptly burst forth from his sword, and he said with a chuckle, "Goodbye!"

Bang!

Thankfully, Gui Guzi arrived just in time to knock Breeze and Rain aside right before he was about to strike down Beiming Xue. He yelled at the Agility Warrior, "How dare you attack a member of Bloody Mercenaries!"

Swhoosh swhoosh!

Yamete also dropped a chain of heals and healed Beiming Xue back to full.

The world suddenly became a lot brighter, and an ice sword wreathed in flames abruptly fell down on Breeze and Rain. It was none other than Lin Yixin’s Ice Flame Slash. After the first successful hit, the light wanderer dashed past Breeze and Rain and landed Extreme Break across his chest. She then rotated into a reverse slash in an attempt to one-shot the warrior!

Breeze and Rain turned as pale as a ghost. He wasn’t expecting the gorgeous woman to be capable of such ferocious attacks at all. He had no choice but to roll on the ground and parry Lin Yixin’s second strike with his sword.

Bang!

Suddenly, the AgilityWarrior felt his back slamming into something hard. It was none other than my golden Dragon God Shield.

"Hehe. Time to say goodbye to the world, friend!"

I looked at him, and he looked at me. His eyes were reluctant, but he knew there was no chance he could survive an attack from me when he had less than 10% HP left.

However, a strange smile suddenly crossed his lips when he looked up. I instantly realized what he was looking at.

"Fuck!"

I swore. As I thought, a hail of Lightning Arrows was about to hit me. This despicable—!

Pa pa pa!

I blocked the Lightning Arrows with the Dragon God Shield, but I knew that there was no avoiding getting stunned even with my level of resistance. As expected, my vision suddenly turned black, and my body felt like it was screeching to a halt.

Right before the stun took effect, I jumped to the back and flung out the Purple Ying Sword. I also slapped down a ton of Ancient Seals at random even though I was about to run out of Divine Energy Points. It would be worth it if I could kill Breeze and Rain here!

Pa!

As I fell off my horse and crashed to the ground, I heard a melodious ring—

Ding~!

System Announcement: Attention all players, player "Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand" (China) killed the Temple Guard, player "Breeze and Rain" (India), and obtained 10% of their contribution points, 222029 points!

……

Holy sh*t! 220k points? This meant that Breeze and Rain’s contribution points were at 2.2 million before I killed him, a sum not so far behind my own at all! Just how many players did he kill at Fallen Moon Ridge? And what the hell were Candlelight Shadow and Warsky doing during this time?

"Protect Lu Chen! Protect Lu Chen! Keep charging and kill those Lightning Archers as soon as possible!" Hot and Sour Noodles’ voice warmed my heart despite the dire situation I was in.

The sounds of arrows thudding against armor and flesh kept resounding beside my ears. The Lightning Arrows possessed both an incredible stun rate and high damage, so every inch of ground gained by our players was literally paved with blood, especially since there were only a hundred thousand or so of us left. It was the price we must pay if we were to win this war.

Swhoosh!

The moment my vision returned, I immediately shifted horizontally to the side just in time to dodge a thick rain of Lightning Arrows. Then, I resumed my charge toward the enemy. God of War was retreating because our losses were severe, but India’s was even worse off. Everyone here was an elite in their own right, and we had annihilated almost all of Cyan Beast’s elite players during the previous battle. Beiming Xue alone had sniped countless super-tier experts with her bow. Unfortunately for the enemy, the dark archer was also mounted. There was just nothing they could do against her super mobility at all.

Players kept dying around me. It didn’t take me long to slaughter my way back to the forefront. The system kept dinging in my ears and informing me that Temple Guards and CGL Hall of Famers were killed every once in a while. At this point, it was ace player versus ace player. Wei-Jin North-South Dynasties, Come See The Snow Tonight, Predestined, Laughing At The Heavens, Ling Xueshang and more had already died in combat. Death was claiming everyone fairly and without prejudice!

Of course, there were barely any Temple Guards left on the battlefield.

……

"Kill!"

On the frontlines, I, Lin Yixin, He Yi, Gui Guzi, Chaos Moon, Purple Marquis and anyone else who was still alive charged the enemy with all we got. The deeper we penetrated, the smaller resistance we met because the Lightning Archers lacked the mobility of the Dragonlight Archers. They were dead the second we got close to them!

It didn’t take long before more than half of the 50k Lightning Archers were killed. We chased the enemy all the way to the edge of Soaring Flame Desert. Low on health, God of War shouted, "Withdraw into the desert and enter our borders! There’s only 4 hours left until the Nation War is over, so all we need to do is delay them!

It wasn’t meant to be, however. A group of sorry-looking players suddenly emerged from behind a cloud of sand, and an assassin suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stunned God of War. The group of dozens immediately ganged up on the Indian warrior and killed him before he was able to do anything!

Ding~!

System Announcement: Attention all players, player "Candlelight Shadow" (China) killed the Temple Guard player "God of War" (India) and obtained 10% of their contribution points, 242823 points! (1038)

……

"Pooh! We were lost for god knows how long because of you…" muttered Candlelight Shadow as he spat on God of War’s corpse.

Warsky walked up to us and said, "Well, what are you guys waiting for? Let’s head back and hit Purple Grape City! Wait a second, is that you, Lu Chen? Holy sh*t, what the hell happened to you guys? You all looked like someone ravaged you for several years straight!"

I stared at him. "You’re one to talk! Who’s the one who allowed the three strongest guilds of Cyan Earth City to slip through to Purple Grape City? That’s so shameless, Warsky, Candlelight Shadow!"

"It’s not like we did it on purpose, man. There’s just too many of them…" Warsky shrugged. "Just look at us! We killed almost twenty million players on this goddamn Soaring Flame Desert. We barely have anyone left…"

I gritted my teeth and said, "I guess. Anyway, let’s return to Purple Grape City. It’s finally time to settle this!"

"Mn!"

……

We turned around, but a chain of system announcements suddenly stunned us—

Ding~!

……

For a time, no one could say a single word except shiver.

Beiming Xue murmured with reddened eyes, "I just received confirmation that Li Chengfeng, Heaven’s Rain… all 50k of our players were wiped out by the enemy. Red Maple has ambushed them from behind and killed all of them…"

I shivered from head to toe before dropping to my knees. The Purple Ying Sword clanged against the floor as I fought back the tears. "You are my pride, my brothers and sisters…"
