Chapter 820: Death of Bloody War God

Translator: alyschu

"Hahaha, we got here just in time!"

Bloody War God exclaimed rapturously as stared at the low-health boss, me and Lin Yixin with unbridled desire. He then raised his battle axe and laughed madly. "This is our chance, brothers and sisters! Take out that Heaven-burning Tiger and the two Divine Generals, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand and Wind Fantasy! We won’t be this lucky next time!"

However, a tactician behind him frowned a little and said, "Boss, are you sure we want to do this? There’ll be no repairing our relationship with Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls and Snowy Cathaya, and Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand and Wind Fantasy will definitely want to take revenge. They might even travel all the way to Wind City just to pursue us..."

Bloody War God frowned right back. "In an era of war and chaos, the ambitious and ruthless is king! Plus, there’s nothing to be afraid of. If we die, we only lose a level, but if we win, we’ll have our first Tiger Soul Essence and maybe Immortal-grade equipment! Can you imagine that? Even you can become as powerful as Vienna’s Sorrow if you can get your hands on Immortal-grade equipment! If that is what you desire, then ride with me! In this world, you realize dreams through blood and slaughter! Now go! Kill them and the boss!"

......

The Fire Lizard Cavalry led by Bloody War God himself set their sights on me and charged. Bastards, it was obvious what these bastards were planning; they wanted to stun me and let the boss take me out!

A sweet smile crossed Lin Yixin’s lips. "Are you afraid, Little Cheat?"

"Like hell I am!"

In fact, veins popped on my head in anger. "Let’s give these fuckers a taste of the flames of the Heaven-burning Tiger! Yiyi, prepare to initiate evasion measures!"

"Okay!"

I fired Burning Blade Slash at the boss's head and angered it. The animal immediately opened its mouth and unleashed a jet of flames at me.

I dashed to the side until I was between the boss and the Wings of Awakening. This way, the Fire Lizard Cavalry couldn’t escape the flame breath!

Boom!

I used Tenacity of the Dead to restore 60k+ HP as the flame breath hit me for over 90k damage. My entire body was hurting, but I smiled because I knew that the Fire Lizard Cavalry would only fare worse than me. After all, they neither had super equipment nor a godlike defensive skill such as my Ghost Deity Armor!

The flame breath turned the space behind me into a cone-shaped sea of flames. The Wings of Awakening cavalry panicked as they weren’t expecting the boss to possess such a powerful skill. Some of them were burned into crisps before they could react. Some tried to run away only for their butts to be set on fire literally. Screams of pain and terror and thick columns of damage numbers filled the air for a time—

197673!

172656!

183674!

221093!

......

Two seconds later, every Wings of Awakening player who had tried to attack me except their guild leader was burned to dust and turned into equipment and supplies. It was exhilarating, almost as if I was the one who killed the players myself. Surprisingly, Bloody War God survived with 25% HP left. His equipment must be very impressive. The guild leader stared at the bodies around him and murmured in a daze, "How... how can this be? How did they all die... this motherfucking boss!!!"

Lin Yixin hid a chuckle as she shook the boss with an Ice Storm + Extreme Break combo.

I smiled. "Rest in peace, Bloody War God!"

"You!"

Bloody War God looked at me, but the only thing that was reflected in his pupils was the growing image of the Cyan Netherworld Sword. I used Sword Boomerang and Ancient Seal in rapid succession so as to give him no chance to escape his predicament. Two damage numbers later, the foolish guild leader slowly dropped to his knees and died.

39027!

78993!

It was the perfect outcome. If Wings of Awakening had to fight Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls and Snowy Cathaya to the death, then we would happily oblige them, not to mention that people like Bloody War God totally deserved to die. No one likes assholes who try to pour salt on others’ wounds.

......

"Now, quickly!" said Lin Yixin with a chuckle. She was doing her utmost to maximize her DPS because our lives were on a timer. At this rate, the boss would die in 5 minutes tops!

Unfortunately, reality was ever the cruel mistress. When the boss dropped to 9% health, I died again but was fortunate enough to trigger Immortality and revive for free. Just as I rose to my feet, a new group of players appeared behind me. They belonged to Hegemon Palace, and Pillar of the Nation, Little Piglet and Shangguan Wan’er were all present. Shangguan Wan’er behind her delicate waist and vanished into thin air the moment she saw us. Fuck assassin stealth, man!

......

"Looks like luck is on our side today..."

Pillar of the Nation said with a smile, "The boss's HP is just perfect. Get ready, everyone! Coordinate with Wan’er and kill Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand and Wind Fantasy, and the boss will be ours!"

However, Little Piglet looked at the floor of dropped equipment and potions and said with a frown, "Guild leader, wait. There’s something fishy about this. Looking at the ground, it looks like over a hundred people were killed by an AoE skill. We must act cautiously!"

Pillar of the Nation raised his eyebrows. "It’ll be fine, there’s nothing to be afraid of. Now go!"

Little Piglet gritted his teeth and tried again, "Guild leader, why do you appoint me as your general if you won’t listen to my advice? In my opinion, the best strategy here is to take a circuitous route, hit Lu Chen from afar and force him to waste Divine Energy Points. It’s not like the boss is going anywhere, right? Please listen to me!"

Pillar of the Nation grew a bit angry. "Who is the guild leader here, you or me? Anyway, I have listened to your advice, but I simply think that you’re overthinking it! There are 200 of us and only 2 of them! Now go! Show Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls and Snowy Cathaya the power of Hegemon Palace!"

Little Piglet sighed sorrowfully. "There is no point speaking to the deaf..."

"You little!" Wang Dongliang stared at Little Piglet. "Hmph! You really should follow Wan’er’s example! She’s already on the move! Anyway, are you going or not? If not then I’ll lead the troops myself!"

Little Piglet replied in a helpless tone, "I’m going!"

......

That was close. If Little Piglet had gotten his way and harassed Lin Yixin and I from the sides, he would’ve been able to disrupt our rhythm and deplete my remaining Divine Energy Points. I would’ve done the same thing. Unfortunately, Wang Dongliang was too prideful to listen to his own general and sealed his own fate.

I turned around and paid close attention to Hegemon Palace as Little Piglet and the Porcupine Riders charged. It was rather menacing considering the circumstances.

Lin Yixin’s eyes flashed. "Now!"

"Yeah!"

Indigo flames surrounded the Cyan Netherworld Sword as I hit the boss's mandible with Universe Break—its weak point—at nearly the same time. Instead of penetrating the boss's body, our energies merged into a purple halo before exploding for over 170k damage!

"Roar!"

By now, we had figured out that the Heaven-burning Tiger would use a flame breath every time it suffered a terrible blow. Since Intercourse was successful, it meant that the boss was definitely going to use its flame breath in retaliation.

Whoosh!

I backed away and activated Great Earth Transformation as a stream of flames washed over me, taking reduced damage thanks to the cyan swords protecting me. The same couldn’t be said for the Porcupine Riders, however. The Hegemon Palace cavalry screamed in pain as the cone-shaped flame engulfed nearly all of them, including Little Piglet himself!

Wang Dongliang stood slack-jawed with surprise as each and every one of his Porcupine Rider suffered over 150k damage in one go. Not even in his wildest imagination could he imagine this kind of outcome. Other than the Porcupine Riders who were lucky not to get caught in the attack, Little Piglet was the only one who emerged from the hill of corpses with 32% HP and charged toward me. After he enhanced himself with Strength of Divine Arms and recovered his HP using Wind of Recovery, he executed Ice Ray Flurry at me while growling, "What have you done, Lu Chen!"

Instead of retreating, I met his attack head-on and parried two of the three hits of Ice Ray Flurry. The third hit was too fast for me to block, so it pierced my chest armor, erupted into a small shower of snowflakes and dealt 27616 damage!

That was an impressive amount of damage even though I had nullified two-thirds of the skill. Little Piglet’s Attack was as powerful as ever, it seemed. As we rode past each other, the man jumped up from horseback and tried to slash me from behind!

I felt my blood boil with excitement. There were only a handful of people in the entire Sky City who could pull off such an elegant maneuver!

I bent my body a little and avoided Little Piglet’s first strike. Then, setting my arm across the back of the Armored Ice Qilin Horse, I pushed myself upward with all my might, kicked away Little Piglet’s arm before he could hit me a second time, and slashed him right across the helmet!

Chiang!

38712!

Little Piglet almost had no health at this point, but he didn’t retreat. The force of my attack caused him to drop to one knee and slide two yards across the ground, but he quickly planted a foot on the wall next to him, pushed, and flew toward me again with Ice Breaking Slash.

I steadied my footing and grabbed my sword with both hands. Trusting in Great Earth Transformation, I swung my sword at his blade and actually managed to knock his attack to the side!

Bang!

The deflected sword energy splashed against a corner of the wall. Unfortunately for Hegemon Palace, Shangguan Wan’er happened to be skulking at that exact spot. Letting out a cry of pain, she appeared with only a small amount of HP left and dropped a Poison Bomb on the ground. She shouted, "Little Piglet, run now!"

Little Piglet uttered with grim eyes. "Well played, Lu Chen. We’ll duel again the next time we meet!"

......

Swhoosh!

The God Binding Art dissipated from my fingers, but not because Little Piglet did anything to stop me. I just didn’t feel like killing him today.
