âShua!â
I appeared in Ba Huang City. After repairing all of my equipment and organizing my potions, I went to the guild chat. Li Mu happened to be talking, âWhatâs up with this? They wonât even let us enter the Nightmare Plains? I got all prepared and brought 5000 people to the border, only to be told that we canât enter. This is just too f*cked up!â
I asked, âWhatâs the situation?â
Li Mu replied, â[Vanguard] and [Prague] are both the main characters of the event. Theyâve killed just about the same number of monsters. [Enemies at the Gate] is slightly falling behind, [Flying Dragon] and [Heroâs Mound: Division One] arenât worth the time. Do you want to go? Any of the players from the main [Zhan Long] guild arenât allowed within a 2000 yard radius of the new city.â
I smiled bitterly, âThen why go? Kill the [Vanguard] players that are outside? They wonât suffer a limit from reentering the border would they? Looks like this city battle has nothing to do with [Zhan Long]â¦â
âYup. Then should we just tell everyone to scatter and grind levels?â
âAlright!â
â¦â¦
Right at that moment, there was a sudden âDiâ. I received a message. It came from Xi Yao Ge Jin, âBrother, come over, letâs grind levels together! Iâm in the southernmost forests of the Nightmare Plains. Thereâs a lot of level 110 Thunder Tier monsters here. Thereâs even a lot of precious herbs. I just saw someone find the Demon God Grassâ¦â
âYup, alright. Wait for me!â
I invited Li Meng Yao into the team, creating a brother sister duo team. I leapt onto my horse and galloped out of the city. Unfortunately, I had to take a roundabout route, otherwise I wouldnât reach the city.
In less than 20 minutes, I reached the outskirts of the Nightmare Plains. In the distance, a blue ray of light rushed into the sky, creating an enormous 2000 yard radius shield. Everything within it was the domain for the city battle. As a member of [Zhan Long] which already has a city, I couldnât enter. All I could do was go around it.
I could hear the sounds of fighting come from the distance. The [Flying Dragon] players were being killed by [Prague]âs members. The battlefield was plunged in chaos. A dull red city appeared at the center of the plains. There were players and NPCs killing each other. Who knows what kind of a BOSS was guarding this wild city. And who knows who will be the final victor. In the end, itâs going to be between [Vanguard], [Prague], and [Enemies at the Gate]. [Zhan Long] has no way of joining, and [Enemies at the Gate] will have one less ally.
My Flying Scythe War Horse galloped across the plains. Within 5 minutes of circling the border, we reached a forest. I saw an orange dot slowly moving around in the distance. When I got closer, Li Meng Yao came out from the bushes. She carried her halberd and smiled, âBrother, youâre so slowâ¦â
I was a little speechless. I softly petted the mane of my Flying Scythe War Horse and said, âThis horse is the fastest in Ba Huang City⦠there isnât a second as fast, so donât you go grumbling about how fast I am. Letâs go. Take me somewhere where thereâs more monsters. Iâll take you leveling!â
âOk!â
Meng Yao turned around and lead me into the depths of the forest. After walking a few minutes, we could hear the howls of wolves. In the next moment, an enormous group of Rabid Wolves appeared from the forest. They were all Level 110 Thunder Tier monsters. They were the best fit for helping Meng Yao gain experience. We would have to go to the north and kill Hybrid Demons to find any higher level monsters. The problem was, even the Level 1 Hybrid Demons were enough to instantly kill Li Meng Yao. That was just too dangerous, and wasnât worth it.
Against this massive wolf pack, Meng Yao smiled, âBrother, Iâll lure 3-5 of them over, would that be safer?â
I glanced at the Hidden Dragon Armor and smiled, âNo need. Just watch on the side. Iâll take charge. These level 110 Thunder Tier monsters shouldnât have enough attack to break my defense.â
âHuh? Brother, youâre just talking big!â
âWatchâ¦â
I flicked the reign and the Flying Scythe Horse charged out. Around 200+ of the Rabid Wolves began dashing towards me. I activated [Wall of Dou Qi] and [Frost Armor] at the same time. The flame colored Dou Qi wrapped around my horse and I, creating a defensive stance. I then threw out my Zhen Yue Sword. [Blade Spin] slashed through the crowds. I raised both of my swords and charged forward, activating [Tempest Sword] into the crowd. In that instant, I killed a whole group of the wolves. That was enough to make Meng Yaoâs experience fly up.
âAwooâ¦â
The Rabid Wolves werenât going to sit around and wait. One after another, they slashed at my [Wall of Dou Qi] and [Frost Armor], but they only dealt around 300+ damage. With a wave of my sword, I could easily [Drain] the health back. Besides, I had [Cleansing Rain] and [Heal] still, and my recovery speed was incredibly fast. Killing me wasnât going to be an easy feat for them.
I easily cleaned out the pack of Rabid Wolves. 200+ bodies piled the area around us. A large amount of equipment was dropped as well. There were piles of gold and Silver equipment scattered around. My sister collected everything she wanted. Anything we didnât need, we left on the field. I changed a few of the equipments into God Army cards. Those Mohist Skills were so expensive to maintain. Getting my own low level equipments and breaking them down was a way to save money.
âSo how is it? Am I just bluffing?â I raised my Dragon Reservoir Sword over my shoulder and grinned at Meng Yao.
She smiled sweetly and said, âYup. Brother is the strongest. Keep going. Itâs hard to bring such a strong brother out levelingâ¦â
I was speechless.
I brought my only sister around and continued roaming the area. Close to two hours later, I cleared out all of the Rabid Wolves. Meng Yao also leveled up to 90. She was getting closer and closer to level 100. As expected, leveling up with a strong player and killing high tier monsters made it so much faster.
â¦â¦
Without noticing, I had already killed my way to the border of the Nightmare Plains. Even if I used all of my strength, I wouldnât be able to break through that layer. On top of that, I would actually lose health. And so, I decided to not even try. I took Meng Yao back into the forest to kill more wolves.
After ten or so minutes, when I brought my sister back into the forest to see if the monsters had respawned, a group of people suddenly burst out of the enclosed area for the city battle. There was a total of 20 something people. They all wore the [Blood Contract] insignias on their shoulders. I even recognized one of them. It was [Blood Contract]âs number one healerââ Whoâs Blue.
âHurry upâ¦â
Whoâs Blue raised her staff and looked back, âWhen we get out of the area, even if they kill all of us, weâll still be able to revive. Hmph, those [Flying Dragon] people are just too low!â
One of the archers gripped their long bow and said, âVice guildmaster, Sheltering Guest was even killed by them⦠What do we do? That Fierce Tigerâs attack power is so strong. Motherf*cker, with just one [Battle Axe Burst], he could cut down 13K of Sheltering Guestâs health. Thatâs just too savageâ¦â
Whoâs Blue grit his teeth, âFierce Tigerâs using a Superior Saint Tier equipment. He had just bought the level 100 weapon from Fan Shu City. Of course the rest of his equipment is also really good. Letâs not talk about this now. We need to find a way out of this situation. Afterwards, weâll re enter the area and meet up with the guildmaster. Who knows what his situation is. Either way, it canât be too goodâ¦â
The archer nodded, âOk!â
And then, before the archer even finished talking, a shout came from behind him, âYou want to escape? Keep dreaming!â
Hooves beat the ground. âShua shua shua!â the border flashed as people charged out. They were all [Flying Dragon] players. At the head of them all was Fierce Tiger, the vice guildmaster of [Flying Dragon], and also [Flying Dragon]âs number one berserker. He rode a black battle horse and had already activated the charge stance on his mount. He quickly caught up with them. He suddenly raised his battle axe and activated [Battle Axe Throw]!
âSou!â
The battle axe flew through the sky. âPu Chi!â it pierced right through the chest of the [Blood Contract] archer, dealing 14K critical damage. It was an instant kill!
âD*mm*tâ¦â
Whoâs Blue shouted, âHurry, run!â
Not Yet Red muttered, âSis, should we revive him?â
âNo, reviving him would mean death anyway. Then heâd just lose another level. Go into the thicket, and split up. The fewer that get killed, the fewer losses we suffer. Fierce Tiger brought over 200 people with him. No matter how we fight, we wonât be able to win against them.â
âAlright!â
The sound of hooves beating against the ground was never ending. Fierce Tiger lead his army of [Flying Dragon] players. There were over 30 who were heavy armor players with mounts. When players rode mounts, their stats practically multiplied, making them even more violent. Fierce Tiger raised his battle axe, his eyes glowing, âHa ha, [Blood Contract] tried ambushing the [Flying Dragon] formation, and so now it is time for their judgement. Kill Whoâs Blue for me. She is the Vice Guildmaster of [Blood Contract]. Motherf*cker, letâs see if Han Bei Song that trash ever dares to attack our formation ever again!â
â¦â¦
âBroâ¦â
Meng Yao stood up from the thicket and suddenly raised her halberd. Rage flashed in her eyes as she said, âThat [Flying Dragon] person is so terrifying. Clearly Whoâs Blue is a girl. He actually dares to bully her like that⦠Brother, attack! Go kill them!â
I nearly cried from laughing, âMeng Yao, do you think Iâm some kind of a superman? That I can take on 200 with just myself?â
Meng Yao smiled, âYup. The brother in my heart is a hero. Heâs a hero that can protect me and all the people around him. Go. If Brother dies, then Meng Yao will guard your bodyâ¦â
I laughed, âYou really are the best sister. Then Iâm going. You hide here and donât move. If you get found out by them, then Iâll get distracted. Those are [Flying Dragon]âs elites, and almost all of them are fifth class advancement players with those skills. No matter how good your maneuvers are, you wonât be able to fight them!â
âGot it!â
â¦â¦
âShuaâ¦â
The leaves rustled as my Flying Scythe War Horse charged out. I used a Pardon Card and drew my Dragon Reservoir Sword and my Zhen Yue Sword. Beside me, my Ancient Heavenly Tiger began to materialize. I raised my left arm and my Zhen Yue Sword flew out, creating a perfect loop. âKa Ka Ka!â it pierced through the first three heavy armor players in [Flying Dragon]. All of them received over 10k damage!
â10283!â
â11277!â
â10329!â
â¦â¦
I then raised my sword and activated [Seven Star Fragment Slash], cutting the three critical health players into pieces. Then, with my hand, I activated [Great Realm of Desolation] and locked it onto one of [Flying Dragon]âs archers in the distance!
âPeng!â
â13128!â
Instant Kill!
â¦â¦
At that moment, the [Flying Dragon] players had all been scared stock still. Even the [Blood Contract] players who were behind me were gaping. All of them couldnât even say a wordââ
Whoâs Blue finally broke the silence, âSo⦠so strongâ¦â
One of [Flying Dragon]âs assassins opened his big mouth, âWhatâs up with that damage? Has entered into the stage of 10k damage? Theyâve all been saying that 10k health warriors and 10k health assassins are the future, but under Xiao Yaoâs attack, 10k health is nothingâ¦â
Fierce Tigerâs axe shook with rage, âMotherf*cker, Xiao Yao Zi Zai⦠what the f*ck are you trying to do? Isnât [Zhan Long] not participating in the City Battle? If so, then butt out!â
â¦â¦
In response to Fierce Tiger, I coldly replied, âI canât even enter the protected area, how could I participate in the City Battle? The only thing is, Whoâs Blue and the rest have already been chased out of the borders of the City Battle, and yet you guys are still trying to kill them all. If itâs like that, then Iâll just have to be rude this time. I came here to grind levels. However many of [Flying Dragon]âs people have come, then I will kill that many. I promise right now, that I would not retreat even half a step!â
