Chapter 2379 Report
Mustafa"s heart skipped a beat as he was violently thrown by the holy ripple and crashed heavily to the ground.
Fang Heng remained standing in place, unmoved!
Mustafa"s sword technique skill effect was still ongoing!
Countless fine sword auras continued to flicker around the s.p.a.ce, causing dense wounds on him. Even his once gray robes were now stained blood-red.
Mustafa slowly stood up, looking at Fang Heng with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
He hadn"t expected that such a young man could withstand his deadly move and force him into such a situation.
Wait?
What?
The next moment, the admiration in Mustafa"s eyes turned to terror.
What was happening?
He watched in shock as the wounds inflicted by the mental strength blades on Fang Heng"s body healed at a visible speed!
In just a short while, the body that had been torn apart by the divine sword had fully recovered!
How did he manage that?
Mustafa had experienced countless battles in his life, but he had never encountered such a bizarre opponent!
The next moment, Fang Heng lightly tapped his toes on the ground and rapidly closed in again!
Facing the approaching Fang Heng, Mustafa took a deep breath, controlled his stance, and inhaled deeply once more to steady his emotions.
He had already regarded Fang Heng as the greatest opponent of his life!
"It"s a pity, I still don"t know your name..."
Mustafa murmured to himself, his expression as calm as an ancient well. His long sword sliced forward once more!
The dazzling light erupting from the swing of the long sword nearly blinded anyone present who dared to look directly at the sword"s glow.
Fang Heng also felt a searing pain in his eyes from the intense light before him.
The next moment, a sharp pain spread across his body, and he was uncontrollably thrown backward.
[Hint: The player received slashing damage -143,000 (damage ignores defense).]
[Hint: Due to the skill "Life Diversion," the damage received by the player... ]
[Hint: The player received slashing damage -143,000 (damage ignores defense)... ]
A series of game prompts flashed across Fang Heng"s retina.
He didn"t even see how his opponent had struck before he was already hit.
The strength of the Empire"s sword saint could be considered among the top in advanced games.
Fang Heng was secretly alarmed.
In other words, his attributes had been enhanced by dimensional energy, increasing them by dozens of times. Additionally, since the Empire"s sword saint wasn"t aware of his true abilities and there was a dense swarm of zombies around to absorb a significant portion of the damage, Fang Heng was able to withstand that attack!
After executing the move, Sword Saint Mustafa seemed to age by more than ten years. He watched as Fang Heng, who had been thrown back, stood up again, his body"s dense sword wounds healed in an instant, and disbelief flickered in his eyes.
"You..."
Mustafa opened his mouth as if wanting to say something more, but his long sword wobbled in his hand and then fell to the ground with a clatter.
Fang Heng raised his hand, lightly sweeping the great holy sword in front of him.
"Whoosh!"
At this point, Mustafa had no strength left to resist. He allowed the sword"s aura to cut through his neck, his eyes losing their divine light.
Fang Heng raised his hand again, collecting two rainbow crystals into his palm.
[Hint: The player has defeated the Sword Saint Mustafa. The player receives rainbow crystal*2.]
[Hint: The player has obtained an item-Elite Swordsmanship Manual (book).]
Item: Elite Swordsmanship Manual
Type: Book (Special item, effective when placed in the backpack.)
Level: Epic
Description: A textbook written by Mustafa for his disciples. When placed in the backpack, it becomes effective, granting an additional 30% attack speed when using a long sword (can be stacked with other skill effects).
"Hm..."
Fang Heng examined the item description.
It was a book with limited practical use.
After all, he was completely unskilled in swordsmanship, and increasing attack speed didn"t provide much benefit.
Since it only needed to be placed in the backpack to be effective, he decided to keep it for now.
Fang Heng stored the book in his backpack and looked up again.
The battlefield had fallen into a deep silence.
The guards of the White Bamboo Princ.i.p.ality, seeing the sword saint defeated by Fang Heng, initially displayed shock, then disbelief, and finally fell into a state of bewildered daze.
The defeat was as crushing as a landslide.
The last vestige of faith in the White Bamboo Princ.i.p.ality had collapsed.
The soldiers of the Empire, now overwhelmed by fear, were unable to organize any effective resistance. In a matter of moments, the remaining city defenses crumbled under the a.s.sault of the Licker horde, and the entire city began to collapse at a visibly accelerated rate.
On the battlefield, after the soldiers fell, flesh coc.o.o.ns rapidly formed and condensed, with zombie clones emerging from them.
The zombie horde"s ranks expanded almost instantaneously.
Ryan and Wallace, who had followed Fang Heng to test his abilities, were stunned by the sight before them.
They had initially joined the mission with only a tentative curiosity about Fang Heng"s capabilities.
Who could have antic.i.p.ated that Fang Heng would penetrate deep into the Empire"s territory, dismantle its border defenses, defeat the Holy Court"s garrison, destroy multiple cities, and even take down the Empire"s sword saint?
And now, he had managed to conquer the Empire"s main city?
[Hint: The player"s current mission-Showcase strength mission completion rate has reached 6210%.]
"Fang Heng, shouldn"t we be wrapping things up soon?"
Ryan and Wallace approached Fang Heng, eyeing the mission hint cautiously.
Wasn"t this supposed to be a secret operation?
The commotion you"ve caused seems a bit excessive, doesn"t it?
"The Holy Court is already aware of the attack on the White Bamboo Princ.i.p.ality. If we continue, we might run into high-tier teams sent by the Holy Court. We have other important tasks to attend to, so there"s no need to waste time."
"Agreed."
Fang Heng glanced at the mission hint as well.
With the completion rate boosted to 60 times, it was likely that the favorability rating and reputation with the Kingdom of Horus were also sufficiently high, making the subsequent tasks much simpler.
"Let"s wrap it up. We"re heading back."
"Alright."
Relieved by Fang Heng"s words, the two men finally relaxed. They had been concerned that Fang Heng might not be satisfied and might decide to target a few more enemy states surrounding the Kingdom of Horus.
"Let"s go."
Without time to clean up the battlefield, Ryan and Wallace hurriedly followed Fang Heng as they made their way back.
...
In the main city of the Kingdom of Horus, as the urgent military reports continued to come in from the front, the King of the Empire showed a look of shock in his eyes.
Initially, when he had heard about a powerful necromancy mage intending to destroy the Holy Court, he had been skeptical.
He had only intended to a.s.sign the mage a mission to test their abilities. If the mage proved to be strong enough, he might have granted them certain privileges and status within the Kingdom.
However, he had never imagined that the mage"s power would reach such an extent!
Single-handedly, the mage had annihilated the entire border defense line of the White Bamboo Princ.i.p.ality!
Then, the mage continued to breach two cities controlled by the White Bamboo Princ.i.p.ality!
Good heavens!
Two cities under the control of the White Bamboo Princ.i.p.ality!
Not only were these cities defended by elite guards of the White Bamboo Princ.i.p.ality, but they also had the Ecclesiastical Templars stationed there!
How on earth had they managed to achieve this?
