âAhâ¦â
Wang Ze Cheng shouted in shock as he saw the emblem on my shoulder, âIt turns outâ¦it turns out that you are the legendary [Zhan Long]âs Guild Master! Heavens, I never knewâ¦Li Xiao Yao, you were actually so formidable in the game! [Zhan Long]âs Guild Masterâ¦I heard a few days ago you even defeated Ba Huang Cityâs number one guild [Vanguard]. So amazingâ¦
I remained calm and collected, âIt was only luck.â
Behind me, General Li Mu narrowed his eyes, smiling, âCang Cheng, youâve brought along [Hero Mound]âs first division to Ba Huang City, isnât this implying that [Hero Mound] is taking the first step to conquer the three main cities?â
âNo, no it isnât like that. Youâve misunderstoodâ¦â Wang Ze Cheng smiled as he explained, âActually, the reason the first division has come to Ba Huang City is not because of conquering or anything. Weâre pretty much an adventure team, with the goal of exploring the famous major cities and its deep mysteries. After all, [Destiny]âs map is really too large, there are still many things that [Hero Mound] doesnât know about. Therefore, we came to Ba Huang City, to leave our mark here, that way we wonât have any regretsâ¦â
Li Mu couldnât help laughing, âActually, leaving behind a corpse works tooâ¦â
As soon as Li Mu said these words, the surrounding players in Ba Huang City immediately all inhaled sharply; this was clearly a provocation! However, I approved of Li Muâs words; battling was unavoidable. I could feel it in my bones that Wang Ze Cheng had actually come to Ba Huang City to fight us. I wasnât an expert in playing with words; I only liked to use my sword to speak.
âThisâ¦I donât understand your meaningâ¦â Wang Ze Cheng looked towards the inner city, then said to the guild members behind him, âLetâs go, we should report to the cityâs rulerâ¦â
At this time, a Berserker behind Wang Ze Cheng carrying a battle axe shouted angrily, âPeh, who does [Zhan Long] think they are, daring to bare their teeth at us here? Dammit, weâve been giving you face by nicely talking to you guys; did you really think that you were something?â
This guy wore the Vice Guild Master emblem. Walker in the Wind, the Vice Guild Master of the first division that was once the Guild Master of the first division. He was a third advancement Berserker and probably had decent equipment. Otherwise, he would not be as arrogant as he was.
Li Mu immediately unsheathed his sword, indifferently saying, âWhat, Walker in the Wind, do you want to taste some of my swordplay?â
Who was Li Mu; he was someone that was consistently ranked within Ba Huang Cityâs top ten experts. He definitely wouldnât pay attention to the opposite partyâs provocation.
Walker in the Wind roared in anger, throwing his battle axe towards Li Mu!
Li Mu smiled, slightly lowered his body and directly charged forwards with the blade of his sword!
âKaCha!â
1877!
Walker in the Windâs body shook, and more than half his health depleted; terror-stricken, he did not dare to move again. Li Mu leaned his body forward, his sharp sword directly charging towards Wang Ze Chengâs neck. That fellow, he was obviously much more rash than I was; wouldnât this be directly getting rid of [Heroes Mound]âs first divisionâs leader?
In that instant, Wang Ze Cheng smirked and reacted lightning fast. He suddenly pushed his shield forwards, and with a âbangâ, sparks burst forth, sending Li Mu back a few steps. This knockback showed the difference between Wang Ze Chengâs defense and strength to Li Muâs pure strength!
Using his right hand to lunge the spear forward, Wang Ze Chengâs [Flame Blade] went towards General Li Muâs chest. Li Muâs body was originally falling backward, causing him to be unable to dodge at all. He could only take the attack straight on!
â¦â¦
âSha shaâ¦â¦â
My Purple Dawn Boots slid over the cityâs brick path as I walked forward. With the lift of my hand, Emperor Qinâs Sword was already within my grasp. With a light flick of my wrist, the blade of Emperor Qinâs Sword blocked Wang Ze Chengâs Spear. At that moment, a âKengâ rang out and I struck the spear away. I lifted my boots and kicked right at Wang Ze Chengâs abdomen!
âBang!â
Wang Ze Chengâs in-game control was very good and he ducked to block my kick with his shield. His body was only slightly shocked, causing him to move backwards a step. The 2900+ defense was not just for looks!
I didnât give any signs of stopping and advanced forward. Fast as lightening, I slashed with [Wind Blade] aiming right at Wang Ze Cengâs shield. I wanted to see whether or not my attack could penetrate his defense!
Wang Jian, Li Mu and others all tightened their fists, waiting for the outcome of this slash.
â¦â¦
âKeng!â
Wang Ze Ceng immediately put up his shield, clutching it close to his chest. He entered into a defensive stance and activated [Heavenâs Shield]. Third advancement Knights had this skill that drastically increased their defense power while decreasing magic damage by 70%. The only problem with [Heavenâs Shield] was that their speeds would be decreased by 50%, but that was nothing since Knights generally didnât need speed in the first place.
My blade grew cold as I slashed with a Lv 7 [Wind Blade] right onto [Heavenâs Shield]!
âKeng!â
A gust blew over the grass and a green ray of light fell upon myself. The superior strike appeared and the strike blew Wang Ze Cheng several steps backward along with a very large damage number
2447!
â¦â¦
âCrap!â
Wind Walkerâs face paled: âThisâ¦how could an attack give Boss two thousand damage to Bossâ 2900 defense along with [Heavenâs Shield]? Thisâ¦â¦ this Xiao Yao Zi Zai, is he even human?â
I smiled inwardly; they seemed to have forgotten that my Emperor Qinâs Sword could decrease defense by 25%. If 2900 defense was decreased by 25%, how much could be left? On top of that, my 3700+ attack power was already above his 2900 defense! He might have been fully equipped with defense, but I was also equipped fully with attack. Whoâs afraid of who now?
Wang Ze Cheng retreated a few steps and stabilized his shield while he stood his spear up. He looked at me, saying with surprise: âLi XiaoYao, this must be a misunderstanding. Wind Walker, Li Mu, both of you should calm down a bit. We, [Heroâs Mound], did not come to look for troubleâ¦â¦â
I lightly smiled, and raised Emperor Qinâs sword, lightly saying: âWhether you came here looking for trouble or not, I want to make it clear, [Heroâs Mound] can stay in Ba Huang City and [Zhan Long] will welcome you. However, if [Heroâs Mound] wants to make this their Guild HQ right next to [Zhan Long] in Magic Tracking Forest, I apologize, but [Zhan Long] will never agree. If you guys take even one step in Magic Tracking Forest, [Zhan Long] will definitely attack with all our might, even if we had to do whatever it takes. We will never let [Heroâs Mound] come to Ba Huang City to threaten our guilds!â
That short speech had caused all of Ba Huang Cityâs inhabitant give a standing ovation. It was clear, everyone did not have a good feeling about this foreign alliance with [Heroâs Mound].
As I was talking, I stepped backwards, saying: âLi Mu, Wang Jian, lets make way, allowing them to enter Ba Huang City. We arenât tyrants, and we canât control the actions of other people.â
Li Mu nodded: âOkay!â
â¦â¦
At this moment, another beautiful girl arrived. It was our Vice Guild Master, Yue Qing Qian. She blinked a few times and smiled: âBrother Xiao Yao, shall we post this on the forums?â
âSure!â
I nodded, and went onto the chinese server forums and made a post-
ãFighting (Poster: Xiao Yao Zi Zai)ã: Informing the leader of [Hero Mound]-Q-Sword!
âI heard CBNâs rank two guild, [Hero Mound] has entered Ba Huang City. Of course, the players of Ba Huang City welcome themâ¦the boundaries of the city are very large and each of the guilds have already occupied a training area as their base. In order to avoid conflicts with other guilds, [Zhan Long] has established themselves within the Qilin Valley. However, [Hero Mound]âs First Division insists on establishing themselves in the Magic Tracking Forest, right next to the Qilin Valley. Thereâs a saying that goes: âIf a stranger snores next to you, even if he is kind, you would not hesitate in killing himâ. With this, I hope that Guild Master Q-Sword can change the area of the First Divisionâs establishment. However, if you insist on having the Magic Tracking Forest as the First Divisionâs training area, I will see this as a challenge against us. With this [Zhan Long] will attack. I hope that Guild Master Q-Sword will think twice about it.â
â¦â¦
In a flash, the post grew more popular. Not long after, Yue Qing Qian and Li Mu voiced their opinions with the post, causing it to grow even hotter. Anyone would be excited, since this was the precursor to a battle.
ã1st Post (Player Yue Qing Qian)ã: Right, [Zhan Long] isnât looking to provoke or bully anyone, but if [Hero Mound] wants to fight, then theyâll get a fight!
ã2nd Post (Player Li Mu)ã: I truly hope that Guild Master Q-Sword will think twice before continuing on with his plan!
ã3rd Post (Player Dancing Forest)ã: Eh, judging from this situation, will there really be a fight?
â¦â¦
ã11th Post (Player Yan Zhao Warrior)ã: Haâ¦provoking [Zhan Long]? [Hero Mound] has chosen the wrong person to fight, [Zhan Long] is a hard bone to breakâ¦â
ã12th post (Player Jian Feng Han)ã: This⦠Will there be something exciting to watch soon?
ã37th Post (Player Cang Tong)ã: I donât wish to see [Hero Mound] and [Zhan Long] to engage in any sort of battleâ¦n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
ã38th Post (Player Cang Yue)ã: I too donât wish for thisâ¦
â¦â¦
ã101 Post (Player Simple)ã: If [Hero Mound] truly wishes to enter Magic Tracking Forest, then they really will provoke [Zhan Long] and [Blood Contract]. I simply cannot understand why Q-Sword would want something like that to happen!
ã102nd Post (Player Wolf Totem)ã: Iâve already prepared 1000 [Zhan Long] elites. Come if you want. The Magic Training Forest is an excellent PK location, the mad men of [Hero Mound] needs to know where they stand.
ã103rd Post (Player Hero Ran Min)ã: Letâs fight then!
â¦â¦
ã207th Post (Player Drunken Spear)ã: Hehe, looks like something exciting is finally about to happen. The high and mighty Q-Sword against the tenacious yet unbending Xiao Yao Zi Zai. Hehe, Iâm actually rooting for Xiao Yao Zi Zai this time. Hopefully Guild Master doesnât see thisâ¦
ã209th Post (Player Soaring Dragon)ã: â¦â¦
â¦â¦
We had waited for a whole half hour and Q-Sword had made no response to the hottest post on the forums. It seemed as though he had decided to hide from all of the controversy. At that moment, Wan Er, Dong Cheng Yue both brought a few, hundred men teams. Within those teams there were quite a few that I recognized. In fact, they were all friends of the two girls and werenât necessarily loyal to [Heroâs Mound]. When the time comes and the two girls say a single sentence, they will switch from bearing the battle axe of [Heroâs Mound] to the Dragon Emblem of [Zhan Long].
âWhat is the situation like?â Wan Er asked as she lifted her daggers and gracefully walked over
I smirked, âLetâs wait to see how Wang Ze Cheng will respondâ¦â
âSure, Iâll just wait by your sideâ¦â
âOkay!â
â¦â¦
After a while, 1800+ players from [Heroâs Mound]âs first division had arrived at Ba Huang City gates. Wang Ze Cheng lifted his Spear and Soul Fortress Shield as he grinned, thrusting the spear in the South West direction, yelling: âLetâs set off! Weâll follow the guild masterâs orders and advance towards Magic Tracking Forest. That undiscovered map will belong to us, [Heroâs Mound]!â
âKeng!â
Li Mu had already unsheathed his sword, âWow, do they really want to fight against our [Zhan Long]?!â
