A slight breeze blew up my War Swept Cloak as I trembled, âNo matter how hard we try to avoid it, what will come will come in the end. Li Mu, Qing Qianâ¦â
âHere.â General Li Mu and Qing Qian both looked up at me.
I gritted my teeth and said, âQing Qian, stay here and help kill the BOSS. Li Mu, take all of the [Zhan Long] teams that arenât killing the BOSS and head straight towards Bowl Valley. Be careful as youâre heading over and constantly send Wind Elves ahead to scout out the area so that you donât get ambushed by [Heroâs Mound]. I will do my best to kill the BOSS as soon as possible, get the Talisman, and head over to meet up with you guys!â
General Li Mu seemed a little doubtful, âAre we really going to head over and help [Prague]?â
I gave a serious nod, âQ-Sword brought his troops all the way to Ba Huang City, and his purpose is very clear. [Heroâs Mound] wants to participate in Ba Huang Cityâs conflicts. This was a decision he made in all seriousness⦠Seeing as Q-Sword has made his move, [Zhan Long] canât just sit around and watch. If even [Prague] is destroyed, then what other Ba Huang City guilds can truly rival [Heroâs Mound]?â
âUnderstood. Iâll head over right now!â
Li Mu turned around and headed straight over without looking back. With a single command, he left several hundred players with me, and took the other ten thousand players with him. Very quickly, they disappeared into the horizon. Once they left, I increased the speed of my attacks. Qing Qian, Thousand Suns over Snowy Lands, Old K, Wang Jian and the others all gave support. Old K and Wang Jian blocked [Vanguard]âs advance, while the other team leaders focused on dealing damage to the BOSS.
â¦â¦
In the distance, all of the players from [Enemies at the Gate] had melded into a group with [Vanguard] as they fought. The battle was extremely fierce, and there didnât seem to be a losing party.
âHong!â
My [Seven Star Fragment Slash] cut through the crowds. I raised my head and looked at Jian Feng Han who hung in the sky and shouted, âQ-Sword has already sent his troops all the way to the gates of Ba Huang City. [Prague] is currently being killed. Jian Feng Han, do we still need to fight over this BOSS?â
Jian Feng Han glanced at the BOSSâs health and said, âAt least weâll kill the BOSS before we deal with [Heroâs Mound]. Xiao Yao Zi Zai, do you not want to gather all 10 Talismans?â
âI understandâ¦â
I swung my Dragon Reservoir Sword and activated [Dragon Transformation]. My body grew, and energy began to course through my veins. My War Swept Cloak flew up behind me as I charged forward 20 yards alongside my Flaming Tiger God. Both of my blades glowed with Dou Qi, and I slashed [Vanguard]âs frontline into pieces. Goodbye Tears, Donât Be Foolish and North Pole all retreated backwards. Jian Feng Han didnât dare come close to me for a full 60 seconds while Qing Qian, Wolf and Fox all did their best to deal damage. The BOSS let out a dying scream, as itâs health was falling lower and lower!
After another 3 minutes, I turned around and threw a [Combo]+[Fierce Ice Blade] at the BOSS. The Dou Qi that surrounded the arms of the Slaughterer Mu Lin slowly faded away. He had killed enough Ba Huang City players, and with another cry, he fell to his knees and died. My experience bar flew up and behind me, Wolf and Qing Qian both leveled up!
âHua!â
The second the BOSS died, he dropped a ton of equipment. Jian Feng Han rushed over. On the ground, Simple gripped her staff and was activating [Ancient Demon Blade] and [Magma Abyss].
I saw everything clearly and cast a glance at Qing Qian. She immediately nodded!
âShua!â
I opened up my hand and locked onto Simple. Using [Defeat the Dragon], I dragged her to my side. After the fight with the BOSS, my rage went up 57 points and so I activated another skill, [Curse of Night Fury Asura]. âPa!â I threw a punch right into Simpleâs shoulder. The curse succeeded! She couldnât use [Dimensional Leap]!
Qing Qianâs body flew over. Her two daggers swung at Simple. Simple raised her staff to block, and sparks flew when the two weapons met. But, just as before, she couldnât withstand Qing Qianâs attack and her [Mana Shield] shattered in seconds.
I looked up and glared at Jian Feng Han. He was already grabbing for his sword.
âHua!â
My War Swept Cloak fluttered in the wind and I leaped over. My Cloud Stepping Boots landed right on Jian Feng Hanâs arm, and blocked him from grabbing his weapon. At the same time, my Cold Iron Sword pierced right into my stepping stone and spun back towards me. Now, I gripped my Dragon Reservoir Sword with both hands. With a strong swing, I cut through the air with a [Wind Blade], and creating a beautiful glowing arc in the sky!
âPeng!â
â4481!â
Jian Feng Han was thrown back into the sky. Behind him, his wings opened up. He gritted his teeth as he glared at me, but he had no way of defending himself, and he was too far away too strike me.
I turned around and threw the tenth Talisman into my bag along with three other equipments. I turned around to look and saw that Qing Qianâs dagger was buried into Simpleâs chest. It was [Twin Blade Harmony], and was a mortal wound. She looked into Qing Qianâs face with a shocked expression, as though she could tell that she was about to die.
In a matter of life and death, I immediately yelled out, âMelon, donât! Donât kill her!â
âHuh?â
Qing Qian quickly stopped her attack. At that moment, Simple recovered her ability to cast spells and with a raise of her hand, she used [Dimensional Leap] and threw an [Indigo Sea Arrow]. However, she didnât see the beautiful shadow that was behind her. âPeng!â the skill was interrupted. Matcha swung out her sword, blocking Simpleâs retreat. Her beautiful face was filled with rage, âMelon didnât kill you, and now you want to kill her!?â
Simple guiltily looked down and raised her staff as she quickly retreated.
I also quickly retreated and raised my Dragon Reservoir Sword, âEveryone, head to Bowl Valley. Follow me!â
Qing Qian caught up to me and blinked in confusion, âBrother Xiao Yao, why not kill Simple?â
I gritted my teeth, â[Heroâs Mound] is here. If we keep Simple, we can kill some more of [Heroâs Mound] players. Otherwise, how else are we supposed to block [Heroâs Mound]âs advance?!â
Qing Qian wryly smiled, âSo it was like that. And here I thought it was because brother had a crush on Simple and so he wouldnât let me kill herâ¦â
My lips twitched, âYouâre joking, am I really that kind of a person?â
âWuâ¦â¦ pretty much!â
âAm notâ¦â¦â
Matcha raised her sword and ran to our side with a smile, âLetâs look at what the BOSS dropped, shall we? This was a Lv 95 Saint Tier BOSS! The strongest BOSS in this battle. There must be some good stuffâ¦â
As I ran, I took out the three weapons that I put into my bag. One was an exquisite golden chest plate that looked extremely graceful. It didnât look like it was a male playerâs equipment. Then there was a ring that had a black glow surrounding it. Finally, there was a red flag, though Iâm not sure what it was meant for. I looked at the chest plate first. With a wave of my hand, the stats appeared before everyoneââ

â¦â¦
I was speechless when I saw the stats. âItâs just for women? Thatâs so unfair. Alright then, all the heavy armor female players, line upâ¦â
Matcha pouted and said, âNo need to line up, my points are the highest. Give it to me. However many points you need, just take it. Boss, you decideâ¦â
âOk!â
I tossed the armor to Matcha. Her level wasnât high enough now, but she will be able to put it on soon.
I continued onto the next equipment. It was the ring that had a black-red glow to it. I held it in my palm and then waved my hand over it, and displayed the ringâs stats in front of us Hehe, itâs really goodââ

â¦â¦
As they looked at the ring, Matcha, Qing Qian, Old K and Wolf were all speechless.
âF*ckâ¦â¦â Old K made a fist, âThis ring was practically made for Li Bastard. It requires 150 charm, and level 85. I donât think thereâs anyone else that meets that requirement?â
Qing Qian smiled, âIf Cang Tong had joined [Zhan Long] already, then sheâd be able to fulfill itâ¦â
âHer? Nah, I donât even know when she will come overâ¦â Wolf seemed to be a little resentful.
Matchaâs head bumped Wolfâs shoulder and glared at him, â Wan Er has her own reasons for not joining [Zhan Long] yet, Little Wolf, seeing as youâre bossâs brother, you should understand.â
Wolf rubbed his nose, âI understand⦠Nevermind, pretend I didnât say anythingâ¦â
I held onto the Unrivaled Ring and said, âHowâs this, Iâll take the ring and take off 500,000 guild points from myself.â
âOk!â
I looked at the equipment that I had. I currently had two rings, one was the ring that had the [Shield of the Crimson Dragon] skill, while the other had a 10% Drain ability. I was stuck between three options. I had no other choice but to take off the Crimson Dragon Ring. The 10% Drain was much more important. Iâll just have to give up on the [Shield of the Crimson Dragon] skill. I threw the ring to Wang Jian. He was one of the strongest fighters on the frontline, and needed a skill like this.
After I put on the Unrivaled Ring, my stats immediately grew a tonââ

â¦â¦
I have such a crazy Max HP now, but that was to be expected since that was the future of mainstream frontline battles. Maybe, even within a month, everyone in will be saying: How can you claim to be a main tank if you donât have at least 20,000 health?
I continued onto the last piece of equipment. Maybe it wasnât even an equipment, but rather an item. It was a crimson flag that had a murderous feeling to it. I waved my hand over it, and the stats appeared in the sky. It really wasnât a simple itemââ
[Blood Flag] (Saint Tier)
Type: Shoulder Emblem Support Item

The user who wears this must be either a Guild Master, a Vice Guild Master, or an Elder. On top of that, if this player were to die then the effect would disappear.
Required: 84
â¦â¦
Gripping the Blood Flag, I couldnât help but smile, âThis is a good item, who wants it?â
Qing Qian gripped her dagger and said, âOriginally I wouldâve really wanted it⦠but Iâm an Assassin, and itâs really easy killing me. The person who equips it needs to be someone who can survive until the end. Of all players who are Guild Master or Elder level players, I think that Matcha is the most suitableâ¦â
Matcha jolted, âMe? Iâ¦â¦ Would I be able to fulfill such a heavy responsibility?â
