Chapter 288: A Glorious Victory
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
“How did they catch up to us!?”
They looked at the enemies who stood around them. The Yundian Upper Realm was right before them, but these enemies created a deep chasm, blocking their entry!
These cultivators of the Yundian Upper Realm had lost their sense of superiority, and in its place was deep shock and horror beyond words!
In fact, they had never investigated the force behind Dajin and didn’t know why the Wuwei Daoist Alliance refused to attend the Cultivation Realm Conference and dared to even rebel against the Yundian Upper Realm.
However, in their eyes, the Three Saint Gates in the Cultivation Realm had been in the lofty position for many years, and the Yundian Upper Realm had gained lots of benefits from them; how could a small force that suddenly popped up offer any benefits as good as those from the Cultivation Realm?
The reality gave them a heavy blow.
This blow shattered the dream of the Yundian Upper Realm, where many cultivators gathered and paid their homage. In this dream, the cultivators of the Yundian Upper Realm could dominate and obtain whatever they wanted with a wave of their hands!
The dream was shattered as if it were as brittle as gla.s.s; it left nothing but shards on the ground.
At this moment, except for those few lines of the poem, Gongshu Kuo and the others’ minds were completely blank.
They couldn’t even flee!
“What is this technique that you are using to fly on swords and catch up with our escaping technique?” Gongshu Kuo murmured.
“The sword control technique.” Xue Daolv, the Liuyun Daoist Palace Master, said, “We respect you as seniors in the cultivation world and hope that you will come with us obediently. If you want to fight us again, I can’t guarantee your safety.”
“Got it.” Gongshu Kuo and Gongyang Jun inhaled deeply and knew that they had turned from the lofty family masters of the Yundian Upper Realm into captives in a flash.
“Things change too fast. I can’t understand the turn of events.” Gongshu Kuo smiled stiffly in resignation. “However, despite your victory today, the Three Saint Gates and the Gongyi Family are not people that you can deal with easily. Keep that in your mind.”
…
On the deck of a spiritual boat which was so damaged that it could fall at any moment, an elite soldier of Dajin who was wearing black armor lifted a broken s.h.i.+eld in his left hand and waved a long saber with the other. Right now, several cultivators of the Yundian Upper Realm surrounded him.
A soldier who had lost an arm struggled to get up from the ruins with the support of the big s.h.i.+eld in his other hand.
With blood and dirt on his face, a cultivator of Dajin in a tattered black robe was viciously chasing after a panicking cultivator of Yundian.
Even equipped with all kinds of spells, these elite soldiers of Dajin still had their inborn disadvantages when they faced the cultivator army of Yundian; it was a hard battle for them.
They fought on the battlefield with the conviction that they would die in the battle; they had never imagined that they could come out alive!
At this moment, the dazzling sunlight shone on their heads, and they looked up subconsciously at the figures racing toward them from the distant sky.
The high-level figures of Yundian Upper Realm in the center of the group were tied up by golden ropes.
“We won!” A voice came from the high sky and resonated in the whole battlefield!
“Won? We won?!”
A soldier licked his chapped lips and murmured in disbelief.
He was afraid that it was just a dream, and he would wake up from it anytime.
They entered the battle with the mindset that they would die, but the result was beyond everyone’s expectation.
The mixed army of 30,000 warriors and cultivators defeated 30,000 elite cultivators of the Yundian Upper Realm; it was a battle that was worthy of recording in the history book!
They laughed, cried, and screamed hysterically, and cheers rose on the battlefield. It was the only way that they woke up their bodies that were numbed from the hard battle, telling themselves that it wasn’t a dream.
“Pa.s.s my order! Gather all the injured soldiers to this place!” Ji Wu did the last arrangement with a solemn expression. “Heal them together here!”
“Your Majesty,” an old general said, “We must celebrate this huge victory all over the country!”
Ji Wu nodded. “Pa.s.s my order! I’ll hold a celebration banquet!”
“A celebration banquet?”
“Yeah.” Ji Wu nodded solemnly. “The Dajin Joint Army (Internet Café Army) will celebrate the victory in Jiuhua. Reward each of them with a bottle of c.o.ke and a bowl of instant noodles with one sausage!”
“Ugh… Okay!”
…
“Hahahaha!” Right now, the Jiuhua City Shop was boisterous with crowds. In Qzone, Mr. Fang lounged on his chair and listened to Su Tianji and the others recounting the incident. He laughed so hard that his belly ached. “You mean that the emperor is holding a celebration banquet outside? He bought each of them a bowl of instant noodles and then invited them to go online and play the Legend of Mir 2?”
“Yeah.” Su Tianji glanced at Fang Qi curiously. “It’s nothing strange. After all, the reward for each person is worth nearly ten crystals, and many ordinary people can’t afford these things.”
Fang Qi held his laughter and said, “Ugh. It’s not funny. It’s very good. Why aren’t you going?”
“Master thinks that it’s too noisy,” Yuexin explained for her.
Song Qingfeng was drinking the tea offered by Mr. Fang by the side. This tea was beneficial to cultivation strength, and he couldn’t get enough of it. “I heard that you two girls also partic.i.p.ated in the battle?”
He sounded surprised since these girls looked soft and cute, not the warrior type.
“Yeah. After all, we’re direct disciples of our master, and we’ve reached the Spiritual River Realm!” Feng Hua said proudly, “Don’t underestimate us!”
Mr. Fang shuffled the cards on the table and said, “Were you afraid? There were so many enemies.”
“There’s nothing to be afraid of,” Feng Hua said, “After all, we fight this way every day in the game, and the number of opponents range from dozens to hundreds. We’re used to the scenario.”
Yuexin stuck out her tongue. “We were indeed frightened when the Master of the Gongshu Family sneak-attacked with the Sky Falling Awl. Fortunately, I stood on the edge of the crowd. Otherwise, I might not have been able to block it even with the s.h.i.+eld.”
“It was a narrow escape!” Fenghua also looked scared when she recalled the battle. “Fortunately, Master told us not to stand in the center of the crowd.”
“I taught her that,” Mr. Fang said contemptuously, “If you attack a large group of people, you must cast the spell at the center. In that situation, people standing on the edge of the crowd are smarter. Now, I’m dealing the cards now!”
“Yeah, you are right.” Although Su Tianji didn’t like Fang Qi’s att.i.tude, she had to admit that he was right.
Although Qzone wasn’t as action-packed as other games, people could gather in this place even though Mr. Fang was in the distant Morning Star Sea Realm.
After the storm of the war, this simple and clean small house felt like a small haven. While drinking the fresh-smelling tea, one felt serene and relaxed as if they were far away from all the conflicts in the world.
Of course, it would only feel this way if they didn’t yell things like, ‘Big Joker”, “Small Joker”, and “Bomb”.
