Chapter 1546: Killing Purple Thunder
Red Maple was floating above the Impassable Great Wall and a long line of Swallow Ear Canton defenders when he abruptly looked in my direction. Face distorted into an expression of hatred immediately, he ordered, "Archers and mages, target and destroy Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand if he dares come close to the walls!"
There was a dark shadow floating next to him; a flying assassin to be exact. I had no doubt that he was Purple Thunder, the only assassin in the game to have ascended so far.
Purple Thunder, Red Maple and Cyan Frost whom I couldn’t spot yet, were both Swallow Ear Canton’s greatest hope and our biggest opponent in this battle.
……
As I slowly walked toward the Impassable Great Wall, the arrows that were shot in my direction bounced harmlessly off my body. A normal archer simply didn’t possess the Attack to pierce my Defense, not to mention that I had an extra layer of defense called Unusual Physique.
I looked up in the sky and yelled, "Candlelight Shadow, Warsky, what are you guys waiting for? Tell your men to scale the walls first!"
"Mn!"
Candlelight Shadow nodded before waving an arm and yelling, "One more charge, people! Don’t let the Japanese look down on us! So what if you die? It’s just one level!"
About 20k Candle Dragon cavalrymen galloped toward the walls immediately. When they reached the cloud ladders, they canceled their mounts and began climbing upward. A lot of siege weapons were bombarding the wall, but they kept being focused down by the defenders. As a result, they were unable to unleash their full power.
Hovering in the sky with the mark of Mount Armor Transformation shining on his arm, Warsky also growled, "Gold Cavalry, charge! We’ll have to die to pay for our failures if we still can’t overcome the Impassable Great Wall this time, so make sure you do your damnedest!"
At least 50k Gold Cavalrymen answered Warsky’s command and thundered toward the walls. The guy was seriously going all out; he had rallied nearly all of his Gold Cavalrymen for this charge.
……
The cloud ladders were full of players. Some were killed before they ever got to the edge, and some were stunned with a Shock Arrow before they were kicked off the walls. Rows and rows of players fell a hundred meters before hitting the ground with a sickening splat. They were alive, but they left behind countless pools of blood and a sickening stench that only thickened over time.
Rustle rustle…
It was around this time Zhang Chun walked up to me and said, "Everything is ready, Lu Chen!"
"Mn!"
I nodded strongly and gripped my sword. Then, I shot toward the sky like a lightning bolt and reached max velocity in just a short time. Energy surrounding my entire body, I flew straight toward the Dragon Cannon at the center like a sword!
Red Maple saw this coming as a matter of course. He hurriedly shouted, "He’s coming! Target and kill him now!"
I expected this, so I quickly set up a couple of waypoints in the air. The moment I reached the first waypoint, I kicked my foot and shot toward a different direction in an arc. Sometimes I accelerated, sometimes I decelerated. All in all, it looked as if I was zigzagging across the air in an erratic manner. Movements like these were the hardest to pinpoint. A large majority of the arrows missed me, and skills with over a second of channeling time such as God Devil Break, Galaxy Storm were so off the mark they might as well have been using them at random. It was quite the pretty sight to have a trail of MISS text trailing behind me.
"Dammit!"
Anxious, Red Maple decided to bring me down himself and charged toward me. He bore down on me like a mountain and unleashed Fire God Flurry!
I gritted my teeth and went all out. I expanded my Domain in full before lashing out with Universe Break!
Bang!
Our two swords clashed, and Red Maple was immediately knocked back by the impact. It was because my Strength, level and more were all higher than his. However, he did manage to pause me in my tracks for an instant and even strike me in the face with Maple Kill!
792,174!
It was a considerable amount of damage. I kicked my feet again and flew higher into the sky. At the same time, I threw my sword using Coiling Dragon Revolution and fired Ancient Seal at the unsteady Red Maple!
Pu!
Red Maple shuddered when the sword passed through his chest armor. The next moment, the Ancient Seal hit him and deleted another massive chunk of HP—
2,114,884!
1,625,531!
……
Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to kill him. Red Maple’s HP was unusually high—and of course it was; he would’ve died to Candlelight Shadow or Warsky already if that wasn’t the case—but from the sounds of it Candlelight Shadow never really found an opportunity to engage him. Otherwise, there was at least a 70% chance he could’ve one-shot Red Maple. The Japanese warrior healed himself over the 80% mark before I could use the Xuanyuan Art to kill him, so I didn’t.
"Focus fire! All of you, kill Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand!" the leader of an unknown Swallow Ear Canton guild shouted.
Fireballs, ice blades, wind storms and rocks descended all around me. I had to slow down to fight Red Maple earlier, and the Xuanyuan Sword hadn’t returned to me yet. So, I had no choice but to raise the Dihai Shield in front of me and activate Profound Armor to triple my Defense!
Thud thud thud…
Arrows and magic spells splashed against the Dihai Shield like a river. The density of the attacks was so great that I lost over 9 million HP in an instant. The good news was that I had nearly 25 million HP, so they were still a ways away from defeating me!
After I finally caught the Xuanyuan Sword, I continued charging toward the enemy and drawing both their attention and their firepower so that Candle Dragon, Warsky Alliance, Snowy Cathaya and more could climb up the walls. As long as they managed to take control of the rampart, this battle was as good as half-won. Up until just now, they had been forced to defend passively like a boxer who just couldn’t find an opportunity to throw a punch at the opponent no matter what.
"Well done, Lu Chen! Fly up to the Dragon Cannons and draw their attention as well!" Zhang Chun shouted from a distance.
I groaned on the inside. It was moments like this where Zhang Chun’s "talent" as a commander truly shone. While he was waving flags and shouting battle cries far behind the frontlines, I had to brave thousands of Japanese defenders plus the Dragon Cannons to secure the mission, all the while knowing that one unlucky stun might very well be the end of me…
……
As if predicting my movement, a beautiful woman abruptly appeared on top of a Dragon Cannon. She was none other than Cyan Frost, the woman who had died in my hands in the previous battle and dropped to Level 254, only to become a god on the very same night. I would be foolish to underestimate the divine Ice Knight.
"You’ve kept us waiting for too long, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand…"
Cyan Frost said indifferently before leaping off the Dragon Cannon and brandishing her blade at me. Just like Red Maple, her expression was one marred by deep hatred. My goal was to destroy the Dragon Cannon, and Cyan Frost was determined to be my obstacle. In that case, I had to remove her to do what I needed to do.
Cyan Frost’s eyes gleamed unnaturally as she opened her palm at me. She was using her Domain!
My heart turned icy as an infinite amount of snowflakes suddenly surrounded me out of nowhere. As it turned out, the freezing effect of her Domain was powerful enough to slow me. I should’ve been able to dodge out of her Freezing Slash’s way with ease, but now I couldn’t!
Freezing Slash froze its target for a short amount of time. I would be in for a bad time if I allowed it to hit me!
I stopped in my tracks, opened my left palm, and fought against her Domain with my own. By constantly shifting the power balance between our Domains, and having one overpower the other, I caused clashes of divine power that spilled into and affected the surroundings. As a result, my body was shifted about 2 meters to the back, dodging an attack that was positively undodgeable otherwise!
"What? How is that possible…"
Cyan Frost’s eyes widened at the afterimage I left behind, but she immediately conjured a number of icicles and fired them at me. It was Icicle Flurry!
I put the Dihai Shield in front of myself and tanked the quadruple-hit skill head-on. Ice crept around my shield instantly!
312,377!
412,772!
371,762!
……
Whoosh!
While this was happening, I was able to grab Cyan Frost by her collar and pull her close to me. The moment I succeeded, I immediately activated a point-blank Mad God Lunge!
Bang! Cyan Frost was knocked back and stunned by the attack.
……
The Xuanyuan Sword burst into light. This was the perfect opportunity to instakill the divine Ice Knight!
Right before I was about to execute my surekill combo though, He Yi suddenly shouted from behind. "Lu Chen watch out!"
Another Domain suddenly invaded my senses, and something cold pierced into my back at the same time. It was the work of the divine assassin—Purple Thunder!
……
The Ambush stunned me for 1.7 seconds. Purple Thunder wasted no time in carving up my back with his twin daggers. Despite the Scarlet Dragon Armor’s best efforts, it wasn’t strong enough to block a divine assassin’s power. His Blade Vortex dropped my HP like crazy even though Profound Armor was still active because most assassins wielded weapons with high armor penetration!
312,623!
281,877!
267,389!
Purple Thunder was equally astonished by the amount of damage he dealt, but for a completely different reason. "Are you fucking kidding me? How much Defense does he have that my Blade Vortex can’t even deal 1 million damage to him!?"
I was still being bombarded by arrows and magic spells, so my HP fell below 50% in the blink of an eye. It was a dangerous situation!
"All units, stop attacking! I’ll kill him!"[1]
After I was blinded, Purple Thunder shifted in front of me and used Gouge!
I had just enough time to parry his secondary dagger out of the way, but not his main dagger. As a result, he was able to stun me for yet another 1.7 seconds!
"Hah!"
Purple Thunder let out a mighty shout and began charging his energy. He looked like a crazed killer the way energy danced around him like mad, and his arms glowed a murderous red. It looked like a Coldblood Mad Strike type of skill that completely ignored the enemy’s Defense and drastically increased his damage dealt at the same time. It certainly wasn’t just a simple skill with increased Attack.
It was at that time I made up my mind. Purple Thunder must die as soon as possible!
Pu!
The dagger pierced through my Scarlet Dragon Armor and triggered a gigantic damage number—2,976,661!
He then threw a fluorescent powder on the ground to enter stealth while shouting, "Retreat now, Cyan Frost! The Dragon Cannon will take him out!"
……
"Guh…"
The moment I broke out of the stun, I immediately tracked down the departing shadow that was Purple Thunder with Dark Pupils. Without hesitation, I raised my sword and cast my SSS Rank Ancient Divine Skill, Xuanyuan Slash!
Boom!
4,109,837!
Purple Thunder didn’t die because he had full buffs, but that was fine. I turned my blade and cast Xuanyuan Art!
……
"Shit…"
Purple Thunder’s pupils shrank as his body was shredded into pieces. His items, equipment, potions, cards and more fell from the sky like snowflakes.
1. T/N: WHAT? ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID? HE STILL HAS IMMORTALITY + REINCARNATION ART, YOU NEVER STOP ATTACKING LU CHEN UNLESS HIS ALLIES INTERRUPT YOU! ☜
