Chapter 522 The Three Man Rear
“Hong!”
The sword in Wang Jian’s hands started to glow as he surged forward. Once his [Halberd Whirlwind] killed a dozen players, Wang Jian glanced around him. Almost all of the players from [Zhan Long], [Enemies at the Gate], and [Judgement] had been killed. [Hero’s Mound] and the Rhino Calvary’s charge had drowned us like a flood.
“Peng peng peng….”
The sound of rocks crumbling from the wall travelled to our ears. Within moments, the western wall of Dragon’s Den had become ruins and had lost all ability to protect us. Q-Sword raised his long sword and sternly said, “Advance, destroy all of their watchtowers and push all of the Death God Arrow machines in!”
……
Old K and Li Mu fought fiercely as they retreated. Matcha raised her heavy shield and suddenly rammed it in front of the blacksmith and shouted, “We must hold our place. We cannot retreat any further! Our first priority is to focus all our firepower on those Rhino Cavalry. There aren’t many of them left!”
However at the same time, Q-Sword led a group of [Hero’s Mound] players and crushed our front row of players. Dashing forward, he raised his longsword and roared at One Second Hero, “[Fierce Tiger Burst]!”
“Peng!”
“10048!”
It was a critical attack! Before One Second Hero could use a [Cleansing Wind], Q-Sword had already thrown his blade forward. “Pu Chi!” it punctured his chest. Immediately after, he used a [Destruction Wolf Formation], an AOE attack. One Second Hero grunted and his shield fell to the ground. Both him and the [Zhan Long] players around him were instantly killed. Q-Sword’s attack power was just too high!
“Yong Jie!”
Witnessing that scene, my heart froze. [Zhan Long] could no longer hold off [Hero’s Mound]. Even Ye Lai, Misty Clouds, and Han Bei Song couldn’t completely fend everyone off. The coordination of human players and the NPC army was too deadly for us.
I swung my Dragon Reservoir Sword and cut apart the crowd in front of me as I desperately tried to get closer to [Zhan Long]’s main formation. Q-Sword’s sister, Sword Tears, raised her long sword and followed after me while maintaining a distance. At the same time, she commanded mages and archers to lock spells onto me. Under this kind of pressure, I could not attack normally, and didn’t manage to deal the most amount of damage I could.
“Keng!”
Q-Sword suddenly threw an attack that shook Matcha’s shield. He then raised a boot and kicked her shoulder, forcing her to cry out in pain and retreat, breaking her defense. Q-Sword’s eyes were filled with killing intent. He lunged forward and punched Matcha’s shield away. The sword in his right hand suddenly started to glow with a blue light as he threw an [Afterglow Slash] right onto Matcha!
“3917!”
Matcha was stunned, and the effect lasted for 1.5 seconds.
“I’m sorry about this miss!”
Q-Sword laughed and light began to shine from under his feet. It was his most prided combo——[Six Directional Thunder]!
If I didn’t go help her, then Matcha was bound to die. I disregarded everything and jumped forward, taking six to seven hits to my shoulder. I suddenly opened my left hand, and my Dragon’s Hook flew out with a “Sou!”. Q-Sword seemed to sense the danger and took a step backwards. “Peng!” The Dragon’s Hook buried itself into a stone pillar. I tugged on the hook and flew forward. As I was in the air, I collected the Dragon’s hook and pulled out my Cold Iron Sword. As I spun around in the air, I raised both my Dragon Reservoir Sword and Cold Iron Sword and threw a single attack!
“Keng!”
Q-Sword parried the attack, but took a few steps back from the brunt of my attack. He smiled, “Concentrate all your attacks on Xiao Yao Zi Zai!”
A [Magma Abyss] appeared under my feet, but I didn’t retreat at all. Without looking back, I said, “Matcha, order everyone to retreat. We cannot hold this place any longer, go to the great hall!”
“Alright!”
Matcha nodded and retreated with critical health. I then relied on my [Wall of Dou Qi] to take on the firepower that was coming at me from all sides. I raised my arm and threw a [Seven Star Fragment Slash]+[Sword Tempest]. At that moment, a crowd of [Hero’s Mound]’s players all cowered and retreated a dozen meters. In the distance, Ye Lai raised his battle axe and roared, “Jian Feng Han and Simple have arrived! I can’t hold them off any longer. Xiao Yao, what do we do now? Dragon’s Den has already collapsed!”
I glanced at the time on the screen and said, “Nevermind about that, we’ll just fight for our lives. There’s still 40 minutes left. No matter what, we cannot let Chi Yu Han die! How about this, Ye Lai, you, Misty Cloud, and Han Bei Song all take Chi Yu Han to the eastern wall of the Dragon’s Den. That’ll lead you to Desolate Cloud Swamp. There should still be quite a few players left there. As long as we hold out for these 40 minutes, then we’ll win!”
“Alright!”
