Chapter 1592: Seven Star City’s Taunt

Thud!

The Cloak of Divine Fervor flapped wildly as I leaped into the air. Gripping the Xuanyuan Sword with both hands, I stabbed the Ice Lion King right in the head and injected it with Purple Frost Concentration that lowered its Defense by 29.7%. The one move was enough to draw all of the boss's aggro, and how could it not? I had lowered its Defense before the battle had even begun, the lion had to be pissed!

"Roar…"

Having been rudely awakened from its slumber, the Ice Lion King let out a furious roar and rose to its feet. It was at least 4 meters tall, and its entire body was covered in thick fur, except the spot beneath its chin. That spot was also its weak point. Reaching it would’ve been a problem if we couldn’t fly, but since we could, it was a non-issue. Technically speaking, we could also attack its eyes to score a weak point attack, but they were a lot smaller and harder to hit, especially considering the speed of a Quasi-Divine Rank boss.

While the boss was still stirring, I seized the opportunity to slap its head with a point-blank God Binding Art. Four gigantic divine arms fell down from the sky and successfully bound the Ice Lion King for 12.4 seconds.

Lin Yixin let out a chuckle behind me. "Wow! As expected of a Level 275 divine player. Your hit rate is incredible![1]"

I laughed heartily as I struck the boss's head with Burning Blade Slash. It wasn’t just my hit rate that had improved, my damage was crazy as well. My skill had triggered both a critical hit and my sword’s septuple-damage effect, so it was a rude awakening for the Ice Lion King to say the least—

25,050,494!

8,234,992!

5,127,377!

……

The boss only had an HP bar of 700 million, and it had lost nearly 40 million right from the get-go. There was no way it could withstand this level of punishment for long. However, it could only stand in place and roar since it had been immobilized by the God Binding Art. Lin Yixin dashed past the boss and landed Extreme Break on its neck. Then, she unsheathed the Wind Severing Sword, began to cast Barrier Break, and shot me a sweet smile.

There was no need for verbal exchange. I cast my own Universe Break and struck the boss at nearly the same time as Lin Yixin. A golden cross formed across the boss's body as Intercourse triggered successfully. The Ice Lion King roared in pain again as a massive damage number rose above its head—

19,877,347!

I was stunned by the amount of damage we did. "Holy shit, that was almost 20 million damage. Does this count as animal abuse, Yiyi?"

Lin Yixin replied, "It wasn’t me. It’s your Xuanyuan Sword that contributed the bulk of the damage! Anyway, let’s kill this boss before it—huh…"

Lin Yixin trailed off when she noticed that there was a long passage covered in silvery plants behind the Ice Lion King. She immediately broke into a gorgeous smile and said, "I was right! The Immortal Cloud Grass is here!"

I was worried that she might ditch me to gather the herbs, so I hurriedly said, "Patience. You can gather all the herbs you want after we’ve killed the boss. We should release our pets, by the way!"

"Mn!"

Ice Dragon Kris burst out of her hexagram, gripped the ceiling with its talons, and spat a scorching breath at the Ice Lion King. The Phantom Wolf King attacked it from the flank. Meanwhile, I put on the Apparition Ring[2] and summoned my apparition to life. I then made it fire Dragon Slaying Slash, Myriad Swords Obliteration, Burning Blade Slash and more long-range skills from a safe distance away. It would get one-shot if it approached too close.

After the effects of the God Binding Art wore away, the Ice Lion King buried its claws in my Dihai Shield and scored a deep scar on the metal, dealing over 2 million damage to me. It was within my limits of endurance though. A single basic attack and Universe Break were all I needed to regain my lost HP. I continued to tank the boss head-on while dishing out one attack after another.

"Roar roar…"

Suddenly, the Ice Lion King raised its head and gathered red energy around its paws. It was clearly going to cast a powerful skill.

Lin Yixin said hurriedly, "Watch out! It’s that 7-hit Mad Beast Flurry!"

"No problem!"

I raised the Dihai Shield and activated both Profound Armor and Battle Astral Wind at the same time. As a result, three of the hits were blocked by the Battle Astral Wind, and the rest dealt less than 5 million damage in total. That… was actually scarier than I had expected it to be. Without Profound Armor or Battle Astral Wind, there was a huge chance—no, a definite chance, the boss would have one-shot me.

……

I was pushed back a couple of meters by the ferocious attacks. After I came to a stop, I immediately dashed forward and retaliated with a furious Burning Blade Slash, giving the boss no chance to breathe at all. Lin Yixin also cooperated with me and ensured that we would trigger Intercourse again and again. Less than ten minutes later, the Quasi-Divine Rank boss's HP had fallen below 10%. It was only a matter of time before we took it out.

I was sure that the Ice Lion King would die with a smile on its face. After all, it was the wielder of the Xuanyuan Sword and the Wind Severing Sword who would send it to the kingdom come!

It was at this moment we heard the screeches of griffons from the direction of the main hall. I looked behind my shoulder and smirked. "Careful, Yiyi. The Chaotic 27’s reinforcements have arrived. Those griffon riders must belong to Seven Star City…"

"Seriously? Don’t they know they’re just committing suicide?" Lin Yixin curled her lips.

I was surprised by how confident she sounded. "The griffin riders are no slouches, you know. It’s not easy to survive a barrage of Thunder Spears, and none of us are buffed by a bard right now. If I die, I can revive with the Resurrection Art, but if you die, you’ll lose a level and maybe even drop the Wind Severing Sword…"

"So what? You’ll just retrieve it for me," Lin Yixin jested. "Seriously though, it’s fine. Seven Star City won’t be able to threaten us!"

"How so?" I asked.

"It’s because Seven Star City is Sky City’s vassal city right now. You can think of them as our colony. According to the new rules, the stats of a player of a vassal city are reduced by 20% if they fight against a player from the city who owns them. That is why I say that it is suicide for them to attack us…"[3]

I exclaimed in realization, "I see. That’s a huge relief…"

"Relief what?"

"Hehe…" I replied after knocking away the Ice Lion King’s sharp claws, "It’s simple. Cyan Earth City, Burning City, Seven Star City and Titan City are all our vassal cities. With their stats reduced by 20%, how can they ever hope to retake sovereignty of their main cities[4]? This means that you, Chengfeng, Candlelight Shadow, Wang Luo, Momo and everyone else will still be able to defend our territories even if I’m not around."

"What the hell are you saying?" Lin Yixin’s eyes reddened immediately. "You must stay with us! Forever!"

I nodded solemnly. "Of course. I will always be with the China server!"

"Good. Anyway, the boss is about to die. Get ready to use your Mad God Lunge…"

"Yeah!"

The Ice Lion King raised its neck and began casting its ultimate, Icicle Volley, before I finished my reply. I immediately slammed into it with Mad God Lunge. Thanks to the power of a Level 275 divine player, I was able to cancel even the ultimate of a Quasi-Divine Rank boss. A couple more slashes later, I said, "Yiyi, you should score the last hit since I’m already at max level[5]. Activate your Gan Jiang now!"

"Mn!"

Lin Yixin activated her SS Rank Ancient Divine Skill, Gan Jiang and Mo Ye, and landed a beautiful combo on the boss. That was enough to kill it and turn it into a pile of equipment and items.

"Pick up the loot and watch my back while I gather the herbs, Little Cheat!"

"Sure!"

Lin Yixin immediately dashed into the passage at the back to gather the herbs. I picked up the loot as she requested while shooting a glance at the hundreds of Seven Star City players outside the cave. I chuckled. The griffin riders could see me, but not a single one of them dared to fly down and challenge me. I bet some of them had been killed by me personally during the defense of Fortress of the Iron Halberd. The very sight of me struck fear in their hearts.

I shared the stats of the equipment I got in the party channel—

Ice Profound Armor (Middle Divine Armament, Outstanding★★★★★★): 28,000 Defense, 25,500 Magic Resist. Increases user's Defense by 150%, adds 400k max HP. Level Requirement: 260

Frost Ice Spear (Lower Divine Armament, Outstanding★★★★★★★★): 22,500~28,700 Attack. Increases user's Attack by 240%. Level Requirement: 255

Tapasya Long Boots (Ancient Immortal-grade, Outstanding★★★★★★★★): 9,700 Defense, 8,000 Magic Resist. Increases user's Defense by 75%, and Magic Attack by 50%. Level Requirement: 255

……

Lin Yixin replied in the party channel, "Not bad! We got a Middle Divine Armament out of it. That metal armor looks really good…"

I said, "It’s better than the metal armor you’re currently wearing, right? You can have it…"

"Sure! How is it going outside, by the way? There’s a lot of Immortal Cloud Grass in this place, so much that I reckon that no one has ever been here before. The player who discovered this map for the first time must have found Immortal Cloud Grass somewhere else, and definitely not in such big quantities. Anyway, protect me for 10 minutes, Little Cheat. I’m not leaving a single Rank 15 herb behind."

I grinned. "You’re such a greedy girl. Anyway, be careful. They’re finally going to make a move…"

"Mn!"

Dozens of Crow Riders descended to the ground before switching out their mounts for Fire Rhinoceroses. It was because the latter gave much better stats, at the price of being land-bound. I also saw priests, bards, mages and even some Heroic Bannermen among the crowd. They were seriously gunning for us with everything they had.

Chiang!

I planted the Xuanyuan Sword in the ground and beckoned them to approach me. "Well, what are you waiting for? I’m right here!"

……

"Shit! The arrogance!"

A spear-wielding magic knight uttered with ashen anger, "Form a square Holy Shield Formation and slow-push toward Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand! Mages and archers, focus-fire him and give him no chance to retaliate! Otherwise, no amount of people will be enough to kill him!"

"Yes!"

1. T/N: If I was the author I would change this to duration instead. Lu Chen has been missing this skill since forever, and to say his hit rate is incredible just because he landed it one time sounds stupid ☜

2. T/N: I was going to cry What the fuck until I recalled that he hadn’t sold or given it to anyone. Fair play, author ☜

3. T/N: a long time ago, someone said, "There will never colonialism in this game!" Guess who was wrong, again ☜

4. T/N: if this novel isn’t going to end in 8 chapters, I swear the author would’ve forgotten that this debuff is actually timed and treat it as permanent until the end of the game ☜

5. T/N: Li Chengfeng screams: nooooo! My Crimson Firmament Sword! ☜
