Chapter 845: Oli the Third

I kept attacking in hopes that I would get lucky and proc the Broken Blade property again. Most equipment’s stun effects wouldn’t work on Baili because her resistances were Immortal Rank, but my Necklace of the War God’s Broken Blade was Immortal-grade as well. This meant that there was almost 100% chance that the Outstanding Property could stun her, or at least I hoped so.
Li Chengfeng swore angrily while the boss was casting her ultimate, "Lu Chen and I will stay back to delay the boss, so take the others and retreat now, Chaos Moon! I refuse to believe we can’t beat one little princess!"
......
A moment later, the first Fire Godblade hit the ground and caused a terrifying ring of fire. The dozens of Blazing Hot Lips players who were unfortunate enough to be around that area took over 150k damage in one go, groaned and died at once. How terrifying!
Bang bang bang!
Another three Fire Godblades fell from the sky in rapid succession, destroyed the city streets and killed many Chinese players in the process. The impact itself was deadly enough, but the ring of flames spreading from the point of impact was just as bad. Even the slightest brush could cost the player at least 100k HP.
Just like Li Chengfeng, Lin Yixin didn’t retreat. She kept Great Earth Transformation active and left many wounds on Baili’s body with her dagger.
"Watch out! Here it comes!" Li Chengfeng shouted.
Just as Li Chengfeng warned. a Fire Godblade was flying straight toward us. Baili was the caster, so the skill wouldn’t harm her as a matter of course. The rest of us couldn’t claim the same thing, however.
"Guard!"
I shouted as I raised my sword and blocked in front of Lin Yixin. Her equipment was good, but not good enough for this battle. For one, she had to forego one of the Dark Prisoner pieces to keep the Devil Bell and thus couldn’t enjoy its full effects. Two, her HP was probably lower than mine because of that. Three, her Defense was also weaker because her protective skill, Profound Ice Armor, wasn’t good as my Ghost Deity Armor.
Li Chengfeng crooked his body a little, grabbed the reins of his mount tightly and crossed his spear in front of himself too. All three of us Divine Generals did everything in our power to withstand the attack.
Bang!
The gigantic blade hit us, and a scorching pain seared my entire body. It was as painful as the damage number rising above our heads—
80873!
123874!
122848!
I fared better than the other two because my resistances were higher. The Heaven-burning Armor wasn’t for show after all. However, Lin Yixin and Li Chengfeng lost at least 40% of their HP from the direct impact, and the flames burned away much more HP. All of us lost at least 50% of our HP in just an instant.
Crack...
In fact, the attack was so powerful that it dug a deep, flaming pit on the ground. All three of us were burning inside the pit as Lin Yixin complained, "Unbelievable! Is she trying to barbeque us to death?"
"We need to get out! We’re losing HP like crazy!"
I slapped the Armored Ice Qilin Horse’s butt with my sword, and the mount jumped out of the pit with ease. Its jumping power was as great as ever.
Lin Yixin’s Moonchaser Tiger had no problems jumping out of the pit either. The only one out of the three of us who had to climb out of the pit with his own two hands was Li Chengfeng. The dragon warrior complained with a face covered in soot, "Fuck me, this is so embarassing..."
......
Fire Godblades were still falling from the sky while this was going on. At least 10000 Chinese players had been slain by the powerful skill, if not more. No one was expecting the boss to possess such a deadly ultimate, and the losses we sustained absolutely reflected it. Worse, the only ones who managed to escape in time were our riders such as Gui Guzi, Purple Marquis and Chaos Moon thanks to their high movement speed. Beiming Xue, Murong Mingyue, Lian Xin and many more people were still trapped inside the ultimate.
"Everyone, come to me!"
Fire raining right above her head, Beiming Xue abruptly switched her attack mode to free-for-all and shouted, "Come to me now, or we’re all going to die!"
While saying this, she unleashed the blood-red energy pooling around her palm and cast Well of the Abyss right beneath her own feet. The Divine General Skill immediately affected Lian Xin, Murong Mingyue, Lu Buyi, Moon Dew and even herself, halving their HP and preventing them from taking any offensive action immediately. However, Well of the Abyss also made them immune to all attacks for a short period of time, meaning that they were immune to the fiery hell raining above their heads for the duration of the skill. 50% HP for temporary invulnerability? It was absolutely a smart move from the dark archer.
However, Baili was still raising her half-broken sword and standing in front of the palace entrance, blocking our way. The Fire Godblades showed no signs of ending anytime soon either.
"God dammit, I’m going all out!"
I abruptly rushed toward Baili and hit her with every skill I had. Burning Blade Slash, Thousand Ice Slash, everything. However, not even Thousand Ice Slash managed to interrupt the skill despite having encased Baili’s feet in ice!
"It’s over..."
Time limit of Well of the Abyss was almost up. Everyone looked wide-eyed and shocked. Who would’ve thought that our dreams would be ended by an Immortal Rank boss\'s ultimate?
Maybe it was because the heavens heard our pleas, but the Necklace of the War God’s Broken Blade suddenly lit up again. Excitement immediately gripped Lin Yixin, Li Chengfeng and me!
Swhoosh!
I slashed, and Baili was stunned a second time. I finally managed to interrupt the Fire Godblade skill!
"We did it!"
Beiming Xue, Lian Xin and the two hundred players protected by Well of the Abyss immediately locked onto Baili and went all out. It took only a moment for the Level 200 Immortal Rank boss\'s HP to drop below 20%.
......
Behind us, Chaos Moon, Gui Guzi, Purple Marquis and everyone else rejoined the battle as well.
The scales of victory once again slid in our favor.
Beep!
Suddenly, I received a message from Cute Little Naughty. "Vice leader big bro, a troop of Northern Alliance’s cavalry just appeared on White Horse Plains. They’re all high-level cavalry, and they’ll be arriving at White Horse City in an hour!"
"Got it."
I was surprised, to be honest. The enemy had appeared far sooner than I expected, and at this rate, they would reach us in less than four hours. It seemed like the sense of urgency was equal on both sides. We had to end this battle as soon as possible.
......
"Quickly! We need to kill Baili in three minutes!" I shouted.
Everyone was going all out. Unless spit counted as an attack, there was literally no way to increase our DPS further.
Suddenly, a man garbed in gray robes appeared on the city gates. He wielded a scepter shrouded in flames, and he said in a deep voice, "Baili, my best student, are you really going to end your life here? I just cannot accept this..."
Baili abruptly turned around and looked at the old man in gray robes. For a moment, she looked like an aggrieved child about to burst into tears as she murmured, "Holy Magus Ancas, I... I..."
"Come, my child!"
The holy magus spread his arms and said, "White Horse City is destined to fall, so allow me to take you to the palace and meet your father one last time..."
Swhoosh!
A hexagram appeared beneath Baili’s feet, and the next moment she vanished into thin air. She transformed into specks of white light and flew toward the palace with the help of magic.
......
"That’s it?" Gui Guzi’s eyes widened.
I shouted, "Blast the gates open, now! The king is our goal anyway, not the princess! We’ll kill him and abandon the city as planned!"
We charged the pitch black gate and swung our weapons at it like crazy.
A great number of mages and archers appeared on the walls and tried to push us back, but they simply didn’t have the strength to do so. Most of the players guarding White Horse City were second-rate players as the real elites were either fighting at Poplar Valley or stationed at the other main cities such as Hero City right now. That was why the Northern Alliance was no match for our 600000-strong army even though there were still about 2 million of them right now.
Beiming Xue and Lian Xin became our guild’s greatest killers. Well of the Abyss, Spiraling Arrow Blades, Ice Spiral Matrix, Dimensional Storms and more; the two girls had transformed into little unkillables and ravaged everyone and everything on the walls. Anyone who dared to trade skills with them were killed where they stood.
Chiang!
I hacked the iron chain holding the gate together one last time, and finally, it broke and caused the gate to creak open on its own. We had finally gained access to the inner city, and while they were crawling with players and NPC, over 80% of the players were below Level 150. All the leveling maps around White Horse City accommodated Level 150 shadow-rank mobs, so most of the players who were attracted to this place were around that level. There was absolutely nothing these people could do to stop us.
So, I raised my weapon and shouted, "Cavalry, charge! Our objective: the palace!"
A chorus of horse hooves thundered behind Lin Yixin and I as we led the charge toward the palace. We didn’t stay to engage any enemy and killed only those who were standing in our path. The Dragonlight Cavalry, Purple Dragon Cavalry, Silver Leopard Cavalry and more all followed our example. It didn’t take much imagination to know what a slaughter it was.
......
We fought until we reached the palace stairs where a platoon of halberd-wielding imperial guards were waiting. There, a Level 195 Heaven-grade miniboss glared at us as he pulled out his sword, shouting, "Protect the palace, warriors! Don’t let these wolves set foot on our last piece of land!"
Li Chengfeng immediately gave his Augustus’ Spear a swing and declared, "Lu Chen, Beauty Lin, the gang and I will clear a path for you, so leave this to us and go kill the king!"
"Got it!"
Lin Yixin rushed past the miniboss while Li Chengfeng and our guildmates kept the imperial guards busy. No one was worried for Li Chengfeng as the dragon warrior was absolutely capable of slaying the miniboss by himself!
Thud thud thud...
Lin Yixin followed me closely as the Armored Ice Qilin Horse raced up the stairs. The presence of Beiming Xue, Lian Xin, Murong Mingyue and the rest of our elites also helped to bolster my confidence. Finally, victory was going to become ours!
Meanwhile, a bunch of civil and military officials were standing on two sides of the court while a fat, middle-aged man sat at the throne. He held a golden sword and carried an extremely sexy woman in his lap. He was of course Baili’s father, the king of White Horse City.
"What’s going on?" Oli the Third asked his officials.
A fat man immediately stepped out to reply, "A band of hooligans have invaded our city, but there is nothing to worry about, Your Majesty. Our famous Redstone Legion is engaging the enemy right now."
"Oh, I see. That’s good, that’s good..." Oli the Third said with a smile while caressing the woman’s smooth leg with his left hand.
......
It was at this moment Baili stepped out of the right side of the court and dropped to one knee. Eyes full of disappointment, she said, "How much longer will you remain a fool, father?"
