Chapter 601: Scheme
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was a fight between Charges. However, Li Yi had used the Berserk Charge while Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had merely used an ordinary Charge.
Man and human slammed into each other, and the winner was determined immediately. Stars appeared above Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s head, and the Disorient state was inflicted upon him.
Li Yi dispelled his Violent Bear transformation and stepped towards the Disoriented Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.
“Mad Dragon’s Roar!”
A roar from the dragon and two silhouettes were slammed far away from their previous positions.
Li Yi had made an efficient move with this attack of his. When he took a step towards Tyrant Sword King the Fifth and unleashed the Mad Dragon’s Roar, Brother Simon had slammed into him from the back. Thus, this stomp of his had successfully launched the two away from him at the same time.
“Powered-up Arrow!”
Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst-brrrr!
Li Yi aimed at Tyrant Sword King the Fifth. After the Powered-up Arrow, he followed it up with an Overlord Arrow.
Thwack! Thwack!
The two arrows that buried themselves in Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had taken half of his Health away immediately. At that moment, his body was still in mid-air, thus rendering him unable to avoid the arrows.
Zzzip!
Another Elimination Arrow was shot. Suddenly, the Lightning Leopard on the ground showed itself and patiently waited for Tyrant Sword King the Fifth to land on the ground.
Scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch…
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth finally landed on the ground. The Lightning Leopard pounced forward and scratched at him furiously like a cat, working with Li Yi’s Elimination Arrow to kill the enemy in one go!
When one was down, Li Yi turned to shoot and accurately hit Brother Simon who had just landed onto the ground.
Thwack!
[-8653]
Brother Simon huffed coldly after he had suffered this damage. Dragging his peculiar blood-red blade with him, he sprinted towards Li Yi. The weapon in his hand was the b.l.o.o.d.y Blade of Fury, Number 7 on the Divine Equipment Rankings that Bai Xiaoya had mentioned.
Brother Simon leaped up high and slashed powerfully at Li Yi. This was the Mountain-crus.h.i.+ng Strike, the exclusive technique that Violent Warriors were especially skilled in.
Before the b.l.o.o.d.y Blade of Fury even came into contact with him, a puff of blood vapor had showered down to envelop him. The Mountain-crus.h.i.+ng Strike was not a simple jump-and-slash attack. Instead, it was a terrifying skill that concentrates the attackers’ blood vapor on the blade itself.
It covered a range of 10 yards!
Thwack! Thwack!
Li Yi shot two arrows at eye-level. Damage values appeared above Brother Simon’s head, but his movements were not even slightly obstructed by them. His body had suddenly turned golden, showing the sign that he was soon activating Hegemonic Body!
This was the special effect of the Mountain-crus.h.i.+ng Strike. When attacked by the other party, the person would automatically go into the Hegemonic state.
Ssst!
At the nick of time, Li Yi had started the Rocket Propellant and quickly escaped the range of the Mountain-crus.h.i.+ng Strike.
Poof!
Brother Simon’s sword had hit nothing. A blood vapor wave had risen from the ground. The Lightning Leopard, which was initially in Stealth mode, had failed to avoid the attack in time. It was. .h.i.t by the blood vapor wave and died within a second…
The b.l.o.o.d.y Blade of Fury ignored all defenses while increasing the attack powers of the user. The Lightning Leopard was not a blood pet in the first place. How could it even withstand such a high damage attack?
Swish swis.h.!.+
A string of tiny blood droplets flew out of the Lightning Leopard’s corpse and burrowed themselves into Brother Simon’s body, causing his Health to immediately increase by a huge margin. This was another special effect of the b.l.o.o.d.y Blade of Fury, Blood Drain.
Li Yi summoned the Ghost Crab while he backed off. At the same time, he was shooting non-stop at Brother Simon.
There were so many obstacles around the area that the topography was extremely bad for ranged cla.s.ses. However, this topography offered one advantage – your enemy was severely restricted just like you.
Yes, Li Yi could not land a shot at Brother Simon, but Brother Simon could not hit him either. It was as if both of them were in a game of hide-and-chase, and the kiting has begun again…
Li Yi was not much worried about Lil Jinlian and Tyrant Sword King the Fifth. He had used Soul Bind when he was killing them. Instead, he was worried about the other members from the Fluttering Snow Alliance, as if a few of them were to arrive at this time, he would easily be blocked and surrounded.
This battle must be resolved quickly!
Li Yi bent down to set up an explosive trap before slightly taking a few steps back.
Brother Simon rushed forward, but he did not step on the explosive trap. With his great alertness, he had managed to evade it entirely and caught up with Li Yi.
The traps laid down by the Archer cla.s.s were too obvious for their own good. On the outside, it seemed like a clip was placed on the floor, and it did not take much effort to notice it as long as you paid enough attention to your surroundings.
“Meteor Arrows!”
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack…
Li Yi shot out a string of arrows, but Brother Simon had taken all of the damage head-on by Charging towards Li Yi.
Li Yi did not dodge Brother Simon’s advance. Instead, he continued with his shots until Brother Simon had slammed hard into the Ghost Crab that blocked his way with a loud ‘Bam!’. Only then did he open both of his hands to release the Retribution Windstorm.
A soft breeze flowed out from his fingertips. Suddenly, Brother Simon could no longer move his body.
Li Yi had withheld the usage of Retribution Windstorm until the very last moments. This was because of his inherent worry that Brother Simon would use his special skill to dispel it. However, Li Yi now had a certain plan in place, and he no longer held back with his attacks.
Brother Simon’s body glowed red. Before Li Yi could unleash any other attacks, the effects of Retribution Windstorm on Brother Simon had disappeared. The thing that Li Yi most worried about had really happened. Brother Simon really had a special skill that could dispel all abnormal statuses.
Li Yi leaped high above Brother Simon’s head. When he did that, he had fired a shot to the man below him.
“Mountain-crus.h.i.+ng Strike!”
Brother Simon’s face showed a hint of happiness. He did not attempt to dodge Li Yi’s arrow but had unleashed a Mountain-crus.h.i.+ng Strike after Li Yi before he could even land on the ground.
This was a critically dangerous moment. Li Yi had yet to land on the ground when Brother Simon’s Mountain-crus.h.i.+ng Strike crashed towards him. If this situation were to proceed with its course, Li Yi would definitely fall head-first into the attack the moment he lands on the ground.
“You’re truly dead now!” Brother Simon roared arrogantly. He was confident that even if Li Yi could survive the a.s.sault of the Mountain-crus.h.i.+ng Strike, the man would never be able to live past the next attack of his – Fury Explosion!
Li Yi smirked coldly mid-air. He utilized his special skill Fly to glide slightly forward and had easily escaped the blast radius of Brother Simon’s Mountain-crus.h.i.+ng Strike.
Brother Simon stared at Li Yi in shock, the b.l.o.o.d.y Blade of Fury in his hand already slammed onto the ground.
The Mountain-crus.h.i.+ng Strike did not hit Li Yi, but a blood vapor wave still splashed up from the ground. Then, Brother Simon was thrown up into the sky with a loud, booming explosion.
The spot where the Mountain-crus.h.i.+ng Strike had hit was the exact spot where Li Yi had laid the Explosion Trap previously. Li Yi’s leap-and-shoot strategy was not something of coincidence; instead, it was a meticulously orchestrated scheme.
It seemed like a pure coincidence, but it was actually Li Yi’s objective all along!
“Overlord Arrow! Meteor Arrows…”
Thwack thwack thwack thwack thwack…
Li Yi chased after Brother Simon after the latter was blasted away by the explosion, furiously shooting at him. When Brother Simon was moments away from landing on the ground, his HP was a hair away from depleting completely. However, the fight has yet to end. The Ghost Crab that has already been waiting for him to land had stretched out its huge pincer to accurately clamp around him.
The shots continued!
“Carulla’s Arrow!”
For the final shot, Li Yi did not use any ordinary arrow. Instead, the Carulla’s Arrow that he had yet to use for a long time were placed on his bow.
Zzzip!
Carulla’s Arrow shot through Brother Simon’s body. Then, it twirled in the air and automatically flew back into Li Yi’s hands.
Brother Simon was finally lying on the ground. A purple light flew out from his body, and Li Yi stepped forward to retrieve it. Immediately, he was filled with glee.
The drop was glowing in a blood red hue. Both of its ends were shaped like a scythe, while its handle was positioned in the middle of the shaft. This extremely unique-looking equipment was exactly the weapon that took the 7th place on the Divine Equipment Rankings. It was the b.l.o.o.d.y Blade of Fury!
“F*ck!” Brother Simon cursed angrily.
Meanwhile, Ouyang Qian’s fight had ended as well. Li Yi had managed to find only her, as the rest of her party members were either running corpses or still lying on the ground. He could not even reliably call them to him anymore.
Onyxia was summoned, and Li Yi had invited Ouyang Qian to join him on Onyxia’s back.
“I have my own mount. I’m not sitting with you.”
“Yours is much slower. Quick, get on here. This is an order from your party leader.”
Ouyang Qian paused for a while, considering her situation. Only then did she jump onto the dragon’s back.
Onyxia flapped her wings and flew upwards, and Li Yi grabbed the opportunity to hold Ouyang Qian’s soft and snow-white hands. His excuse was legitimate. “You might fall, and I’m afraid of that happening.”
Ouyang Qian tried to pull away multiple times, but she was much weaker than Li Yi. Finally, she could only helplessly give up on her futile attempts.
“Qianqian, come to my room tonight… Let’s talk about life together.”
“Hah hah… Hah hah…”
“Aw, don’t be like that.”
“Say, do you reckon that I should jump down from here now, or should I jump down from here now?”
“Um… Let’s pick another night for that then.”
…
Onyxia’s speed was extraordinarily quick. On top of that, she did not throw a temper tantrum this time and obediently flew towards the northern gate.
Jiaojiao, Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g and the others were still lying on the ground. Fengxi was still nowhere to be found, and only the tenacious Cat was still occasionally hitting the enemy with surprise attacks.
However, when compared to what was done previously, she had already run out of bombs that she had carried with her. Thus, she could only use her dagger to kill the enemy, one at a time.
Onyxia took a large intake of breath…
A breath of scorching fire gushed out of the dragon, immediately flooding the area below within a hundred-yard radius…
“Meteor Fire Shower!”
Aside from Onyxia, Ouyang Qian was also sitting on the dragon’s back. She raised her staff high and worked in tandem with the dragon’s ‘deep-breath-and-puff’ to fill up whatever spot that the dragon’s flames might have missed.
A surprise attack from above had caught Legendary Tribe entirely unaware. When they had finally realized what was going on, half of them were already dead.
Many of them had summoned mounts, intending to fly to the sky. At that moment, Li Yi had activated his G.o.d Mode and ferociously shot Overlord Arrows to the people below.
He was holding back from using G.o.d Mode during the fight with Brother Simon and Tyrant Sword King the Fifth just for this moment.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
‘Interrupted’ appeared everywhere, and the blast wave of the Overlord Arrow’s explosions rolled one after the other. When Li Yi had finally depleted his mana, only a few players were still left standing below.
Players who had flown upwards to the sky on their mounts had met their tragic end. Onyxia merely growled lowly for the mounts to automatically dispel themselves. The players had all plummeted to the ground, splattering everywhere…
What mount could withstand the draconic aura that was exclusive to the dragons?
Among all of the mounts, only two had remained in their position in the air. One was a Blood Bat, while the other was a Skeletal Dragon Whelp.
The Skeletal Dragon Whelp was the Prague the Ice G.o.d’s mount, while the Blood Bat was the gigolo Ashy Sky’s mount. Both of them were the guild masters of the Legendary Tribe, and none was the subordinate to the other.
Ssst ssst ssst ssst!
Prague waved his staff around, and the temperature in the surroundings quickly dropped.
The Blood Bat transformed into a crimson light and shot towards them like an arrow. The gigolo Ashy Sky took action too. By utilizing the accelerating special skill that the Blood Bat mount has, he quickly approached Onyxia and unleashed a Weapon Warrior’s Epic-level skill.
“Abyss-ripping Windstorm!”
Ashy Sky held the greatsword with both of his hands before spinning himself at high speed. A blue vortex started to form that had absorbed and strangled everything around it to death…
Ouyang Qian wanted to escape the vortex with Flash, but she had failed to resist the pulling power that originated from within the blue vortex. Her body was uncontrollably sucked towards it…
