“How many people are left for us?
I turned around, only to find out that there were not many players from [Zhan Long] left. Besides, of the people left, they were all battered and tired. Blood had dyed the field red as corpses were littered everywhere. There were people from [Valley of the Gods] as well as [Zhan Long]. Li Mu picked up his bloody sword and gulped as he said, “Guild Master, we have 39 people left. We had been attacked from the front and the back and lost too much….”
Wang Jian made a fist as he said, “[Zhan Long]….. we’ve lost 2200+ people. To think that once we’d battled our way to the [City of the Ancients], we’d only have 39 people left. This [City of the Ancients] is practically a slaughterhouse, everywhere you look is like a cemetery. It’s just too merciless……”
I murmured, “Without the [God of Commerce Bade], our operation is not yet over. Let’s continue. All 39 people, follow me to kill the BOSS. There’s not much of the BOSS’s health left…..”
“Okay!”
Holding my Emperor Qin’s Sword, even I was tired from all of the killing. The hardest part was walking over all of the bodies; my Purple Dawn Boots were soaked in blood. Even the corpses had not been despawned yet. This was a game, and yet it made one feel as though this was more real than reality. Even our noses had been stung by the sharp odor of blood, a smell that I had once been accustomed to. Now, I had finally relived that experience.
Looking into the distance, [Prague]’s battle with [Vanguard] was nearing its end. Among the high piles of corpses stood less than 200 people. They had battled too fiercely, and the two great guilds had mutually destroyed each other. The guilds had practically forgotten how to defend, and had basically went from 3000 players to 200.
“Tsk….”
Yan Zhao Warrior stood among the bodies, carrying his chipped sword. He wiped away the blood trailing from his lips and looked at Jian Feng Han, who was only a few meters away. Yan Zhao’s eyes lusted for battle as he said, “I never would have thought that this [City of the Ancients] would actually make us fight to this degree…..”
Jian Feng Han gripped his sword and pridefully stood up in a ditch of blood, the corners of his mouth twitched upward as he coldly smiled, “You should’ve predicted this earlier; what I did not expect was that the aloof Yan Zhao Warrior would actually get [Zhan Long] to help battle [Vanguard]. Hmph, if [Zhan Long] had not appeared, [Prague] would’ve already been defeated. What rights do you have to say that you’re our rival?!”
Yan Zhao couldn’t help but smile, “That’s right, if Xiao Yao had not appeared, what kind of a situation would Ba Huang City have ended up in?”
Behind Yan Zhao, one of the team leaders, Luo Mu, gripped his sword and cursed under his breath, “Guild Master, we still have 117 people left, that’s more than [Vanguard]’s survivors. Just attack! Kill Jian Feng Han in a breath and then victory will be ours!”
Tornado, however, lifted his staff and shook his head, “That’s no good…..”
“Why?” Luo Mu asked, puzzled.
Yan Zhao’s mouth twitched and said, “There’s… there’s…”
……
“You mean Xiao Yao Zi Zai?! Hahahaha…..”
Jian Feng Han suddenly raised his head and laughed, his entire body shook as he supported himself with the Flaming Cloud Sword. His eyes were full of disdain as he looked at Yan Zhao and he roared, “Because there’s Xiao Yao Zi Zai and his [Zhan Long], [Prague] has “annihilated” [Vanguard], and yet still doesn’t have 100% certainty of getting the [God of Commerce Bade], is that right? This is why Yan Zhao is not willing to take any action. You didn’t think that [Valley of the Gods] would lose to [Zhan Long]; even more so, you did not expect Xiao Yao Zi Zai to survive that battle, is that what you had calculated? Allies, what allies, hahahaha….. Pei!”
TL Note: Pei is the sound of him spitting at them
Yan Zhao just silently stood there, his face an emotionless mask. It was clear that Jian Feng Han had guessed correctly.
In reality, I understood Yan Zhao’s reasons. Everyone had taken every action necessary for this [God of Commerce Badge]. What was a small thing like betraying [Zhan Long]? Rather than betraying an ally, it was more accurate to say that from the beginning, we had been using each other; it was something that both I and Yan Zhao understood. At any critical moment, we would do the same, since that [God of Commerce Badge] was just too precious. It was something everyone needed!
……
Both pairs of eyes stared at the BOSS Li Qing’s health. There was still 5% left. Misty Clouds had taken advantage of the BOSS’s MISSed [Heaven and Earth Seal] and waved his battle axe, activating [Skyshaker Slash] before quickly retreating after the attack hit. Han Bei Song then picked up his longsword and activated [Haste], rushing to the BOSS’s side. His sword flashed, and “keng keng keng”, the three waves resulted in three bloody slashes. This was immediately followed by a [Combo]. Once he finished his attack, he ran,
