This Twisted Three Kingdoms Game Is Brutally Insane
Chapter 253 : Players Beat a Drowning Dog! Xie Ming's Miserable End!
The players were absolutely overjoyed!
"The Lord is personally joining the battle? Then this one's basically guaranteed!"
"No kidding! Not only is this round of missions guaranteed, we might even finish all three stages!"
"Whenever we run into trouble, Lord Yu always steps in to help us. Having a leader like this is just so dependable and reassuring!"
"Quick, look!"
"The Lord's mount looks so majestic!"
"What kind of luxury mount is that? It looks ten times cooler than the Black Dragon Spirit Horses the big shots ride!"
"Yeah! If our Spirit Horses are economy cars, and the top players' Black Dragon Spirit Horses are Mercedes or BMWs, then the Lord's mount is at least a Lamborghini!"
"Can players ever get a mount like that?"
"Probably not. It's most likely the Lord's exclusive limited edition!"
"..."
If Xie Ming's overwhelming pressure had made everyone somewhat uneasy before,
then the moment Hang Yu appeared,
everyone's confidence exploded.
Not only were they convinced this mission would succeed,
they even started paying attention to the Lord's extraordinary mount.
Meanwhile,
Xie Ming felt an ominous premonition.
Although the war between the two territories had only lasted a little over ten days,
the Corpse Lich Territory had failed to gain any advantage from beginning to end.
This Human Lord had always given Xie Ming an unfathomable feeling.
Time and again,
he had seen through every scheme and tactic.
At the same time,
he was an extraordinarily calm and cautious individual.
So why would someone who had never shown himself suddenly appear now?
That completely contradicted his previous style.
Unless...
he was absolutely confident.
Confident that victory was already certain.
All five of Xie Ming's eyes fixed firmly upon Hang Yu.
Soon,
however,
his vigilance turned into astonishment.
Strange.
The Human Lord's aura was not powerful at all.
In fact,
it was noticeably weaker than Jia Xu's.
At best,
it was only around the level of a second-rate or third-rate Overlord.
Why was he so weak?
Had he overthought everything?
Starsea Humans were an inherently fragile race.
They possessed neither overwhelming innate strength,
nor any impressive racial talents.
A race with virtually blank racial abilities being somewhat weaker
was perfectly normal.
"So this is all you've got?"
Xie Ming suddenly burst into laughter.
"It seems I greatly overestimated you!"
Hang Yu replied calmly,
"Is that so?"
"Humans truly are an inferior and feeble race."
Xie Ming sneered.
"The only reason you've achieved everything you have is because fortune blessed you with a group of natives carrying tremendous Fate to serve you!"
"You've become far too arrogant!"
"You never should've exposed yourself! You should've continued hiding behind the scenes like a coward!"
He had complete confidence in his own perception.
After all,
the Eerie Corpse Fiend race possessed exceptionally powerful senses.
If this Human Lord truly was this weak,
then today's desperate situation
might still be reversible.
Jia Xu,
Zhou Cang,
and the others revealed surprised expressions.
They had all experienced the Lord's overwhelming pressure before.
Today,
however,
the Lord had clearly concealed his true aura.
None of them knew how he had accomplished it.
After observing for several minutes,
a flash of understanding appeared in Zhang Zhongjing's eyes.
He had discovered the answer.
"It's the mount..."
When Hang Yu entered the Corpse Lich Territory,
he wore a complete set of Tier-Three Blue equipment enhanced to at least +9.
His Yellow Heaven Demonic Dragon Spear
and the Shadowless Evil Dragon Whistle he carried
had even been enhanced all the way to +10.
The mount beneath him
was none other than the Shadowless Evil Dragon Steed.
Although it resembled the Black Dragon Spirit Horses used by the strongest players,
anyone with functioning eyes could immediately tell
that they were worlds apart.
Shadowless possessed two forms.
The first
was its Warhorse Form.
The second
was its Evil Dragon Form.
This resembled the three-headed Evil Dragon that the players had once fought after the Shadowless Boss transformed.
At present,
Hang Yu's Shadowless Evil Dragon Steed remained in Warhorse Form.
Although it appeared to be a horse,
it looked more like a divine beast born from a fusion between a four-clawed flood dragon and a black qilin.
Black flames wrapped around all four legs and its tail.
Its eyes burned with crimson fire.
Its majestic dragon head radiated supreme dignity.
Although it appeared to be galloping across the ground,
careful observation revealed
that every hoofstep generated clouds and rings of black flame,
while its razor-sharp claws remained several centimeters above the earth.
Unlike the Black Dragon Spirit Horse,
which could only briefly run through the air,
the Lord's mount
could continuously soar through the skies.
The Black Dragon Spirit Horse,
currently the most luxurious mount available to the Calamity Army,
the dream mount of countless players,
and almost a symbol of elite status,
was utterly insignificant before the Lord's Shadowless Evil Dragon Steed.
Its appearance alone was already incomparable.
Its actual performance
was separated by an even greater gap.
The Black Dragon Spirit Horse
was summoned using the Green High-Grade special equipment,
the Black Dragon Spirit Horse Bone Whistle.
Its strength depended upon both tier and rank.
Its tier was directly tied to the whistle's own tier.
A Tier-Two whistle
could only summon a Tier-Two Black Dragon Spirit Horse.
No matter how powerful the player became,
its maximum level would remain Level 20.
Only after advancing the whistle to Tier Three
could it summon a Tier-Three Black Dragon Spirit Horse,
whose minimum level would be 21
and whose maximum level could reach Level 30.
A mount's rank,
meanwhile,
depended upon the whistle's quality.
An ordinary whistle at Enhancement Level 0
could summon at most an Elite-rank mount.
If enhanced to +9,
it could summon a Commander-rank warhorse.
Of course,
enhancing a whistle was even more difficult than enhancing ordinary equipment.
Its success rate was even lower.
At present,
the players' Black Dragon Spirit Horses were still mostly Tier Two.
Breaking through their tier,
rank,
or quality
was extraordinarily difficult.
Hang Yu, however,
was completely different.
His Shadowless Evil Dragon Whistle
was Blue quality.
Even at its worst,
it could summon a Commander-rank warhorse.
Now,
it had already been enhanced to +10.
Although the enhancement process had consumed Spirit Essences and Blessing Sand—materials players couldn't even dream of obtaining—
the whistle's power had increased tremendously.
It could now directly summon
an Overlord-rank mount.
That's right.
The mount Hang Yu rode
also possessed
Level 30 Overlord strength.
This had always been one of the territory's hidden trump cards.
Hang Yu's mount's attributes were:
【Shadowless Evil Dragon Spirit Steed】
Level 30 Overlord Unit.
Health: 51,000.
Mana: 38,000.
Talents:
Divine Steed Protects Its Master,
Advanced Intelligence.
Skills:
Evil Dragon Form,
Dragon Flame Roaring Cannon,
Dragon Flame Breath,
Dragon Flame Protection,
Explosive Flame Charge,
Explosive Flame Blink,
Travel Ten Thousand Li in a Day...
Hang Yu's mount differed from ordinary player mounts in another important way.
It possessed a degree of uniqueness.
Even if the Evil Dragon Boss in Dragon Horse Valley respawned,
it would never again drop another Shadowless Spirit Essence.
Once a Spirit Horse was refined using such a unique Spirit Essence,
its growth potential
and overall capabilities
far surpassed ordinary Spirit Horses.
The most obvious difference was that
the Shadowless Evil Dragon Spirit Steed not only possessed two forms,
but each form had completely different abilities,
entirely separate skill sets,
and talents unavailable to any other Spirit Horse.
One of those talents
was Advanced Intelligence.
【Advanced Intelligence】
Special Aptitude Talent.
Allows the Spirit Horse to possess intelligence and reasoning abilities comparable to humans,
gain the ability to comprehend special Spirit Beast skills,
and possess greatly increased growth potential and adaptability.
【Divine Steed Protects Its Master】
Special Fate Talent.
Completely conceals the master's aura,
while bearing 20% of the damage
and 20% of the mana consumption
suffered by its master.
These two talents alone
made it one of the finest Spirit Beast mounts
not only throughout the entire Three Kingdoms Abyssal Plane,
but perhaps even throughout all of Sacred Cang City.
Advanced Intelligence
granted the mount tremendous future potential.
As for Divine Steed Protects Its Master,
it directly enhanced its master's combat power.
Why had Hang Yu's aura changed?
The answer wasn't that he had mastered some miraculous secret technique.
It was simply
that his mount's unique talent had completely concealed his true aura.
In other words,
the reason Xie Ming felt Hang Yu wasn't very powerful
was because he had never sensed Hang Yu's real strength at all.
What he sensed
was merely the power of the Shadowless Evil Dragon Spirit Steed.
Although Shadowless was an incredibly powerful mount,
and Hang Yu had invested enormous resources into raising it,
its true combat power
was still only around the level of a third-rate Overlord.
No matter how extraordinary it was,
it remained a summoned Spirit Horse.
Its strength depended on both the summoning item
and the summoner.
Possessing strength at its current level
was already astonishing enough.
This was the first time
Hang Yu had appeared riding his exclusive mount.
In the future,
Shadowless
would become one of the Lord's defining symbols.
Hang Yu spoke calmly.
"In your current situation, victory is impossible. Rather than resisting to the bitter end, you should surrender. If your sincerity is sufficient, you may still earn a slim chance at survival. Returning to the Starsea as a retired Lord isn't necessarily a dead end."
Xie Ming sneered.
"What a joke."
"A mere Human. Such an inferior creature."
"What right do you have to say such things to me?"
Hang Yu remained completely unruffled.
"So you've chosen to fight to the death?"
Xie Ming replied,
"My only regret is not realizing sooner that you're nothing more than an ordinary Human Lord."
"Had I known from the beginning, I would've attacked with everything I had."
"By now, your bones would've already become part of my collection!"
After realizing the Human Lord wasn't as powerful as he'd imagined,
Xie Ming couldn't help feeling deeply regretful.
At the beginning of the war,
Skeleton Gan Ning and Su Fei had infiltrated the Human main city with a small squad.
Back then,
they had nearly encountered the Human Lord himself.
Had Xie Ming known how weak the Human Lord supposedly was,
he would've personally led several trusted subordinates into battle.
Wouldn't he have been able to kill the Human Lord immediately,
ending the war before it truly began?
If that plan had succeeded,
none of the subsequent disasters would've happened.
Of course,
all of that was merely hindsight.
When the two Lords first confronted each other,
neither side possessed sufficient intelligence.
No Lord,
no matter how reckless,
would personally sneak into the enemy's base at the very beginning.
Still,
it wasn't too late now.
The Human Lord had finally revealed himself.
He clearly believed victory was already assured.
Such overconfidence
would become his downfall.
If Xie Ming could kill him here,
the entire war
would instantly reverse.
"Damn it!"
"I can't take this anymore!"
"That bastard's way too arrogant!"
"He actually dares look down on our Lord!"
"..."
Before Hang Yu even responded,
the players had already exploded with rage.
To them,
the Lord was invincible.
This Corpse Lich was already cornered,
yet he still dared to act so arrogantly,
even insulting their supreme Lord.
How could they possibly tolerate that?
Little Bell shouted,
"Lord! Divine Feather Palace requests permission to fight! We absolutely will not allow anyone to insult or question your dignity!"
"The Temple of War requests permission to fight for the Lord as well!"
The Immortal Dragon Soul,
Wings of Freedom,
Ragnarok,
and the other Legions all requested permission to attack.
Seeing their overwhelming killing intent,
Hang Yu nodded with satisfaction.
"Very well."
"You, the Calamity Army, shall serve as the vanguard."
The moment permission was granted,
the players erupted in cheers.
They had already been unable to wait any longer.
"Brothers!"
"It's time to earn merit!"
"For the Lord!"
"Charge!"
"..."
Several thousand members of the Calamity Army separated from the Human main force.
They formed multiple formations
and launched their assault upon Shaxian City.
Rather than rushing recklessly,
the players advanced cautiously.
Using arrows and spells,
they steadily wore down the city's defenses,
while simultaneously establishing defensive lines
to resist the counterattacks from within.
Shaxian possessed several Barrier Towers.
Every single one
was a Tier-Three Barrier Tower.
Their defensive strength
was exceptionally high.
The city also contained roughly one thousand defenders.
With the city's numerous defensive facilities,
the Calamity Army alone
could never break through.
Even if the entire Human army joined the attack,
it would still require time to wear the defenses down.
Once the Calamity Army successfully drew the defenders' attention,
Hang Yu gave the order.
"Proceed according to the plan. Destroy the defensive facilities first. We must avoid unnecessary casualties during the siege."
"Understood!"
Jia Xu immediately activated his Fate Skill,
Eternal Night Curtain.
The Cursed Corpse Arcanists inside the city instantly lost the ability to cast spells,
while the temporary formations and magical traps also became ineffective.
"Let's move!"
Jia Xu activated Shadow March.
Hang Yu,
Jia Xu,
Zhou Cang,
Wen Pin,
and the Shadow Skeleton
formed a small strike team
that directly bypassed both the city walls and the barrier.
Such a blatant assault in broad daylight
would normally have been extremely dangerous.
Had Shaxian been heavily defended,
thousands of soldiers,
archers,
and spellcasters focusing fire simultaneously
would have posed a threat
even to Hang Yu.
However,
at this very moment,
Shaxian's defenses were practically empty.
Most of its spellcasters
had also been silenced.
As a result,
the four-man strike team had no need to worry about concentrated attacks.
Their sole objective
was to destroy the Barrier Towers,
Arrow Towers,
Spell Towers,
and other defensive facilities
as quickly as possible,
clearing the way for the Human army's siege.
Riding Shadowless,
Hang Yu soared into the sky.
Black flames wrapped around Shadowless's four legs,
every hoofstep leaving blazing ripples suspended in midair.
Although large,
it moved with the agility of a swimming fish
and the speed of lightning.
"Roar!"
After charging for several seconds,
Shadowless unleashed a Dragon Flame Roaring Cannon directly into a Barrier Tower.
Dragon Flame Roaring Cannon
was one of Shadowless's strongest attacks in Warhorse Form.
The skill compressed vast quantities of Dragon Flame
into an extremely dense mass,
then launched it like a cannonball over long distances.
Not only did it produce an enormous explosive blast,
its Evil Dragon Flames also ignored most materials
while possessing terrifying corrosive power,
making it especially effective against buildings.
In an instant,
one Barrier Tower
was reduced to nothing.
Tier-Three barriers
were extremely difficult to destroy from the outside.
From within,
however,
they could only withstand one or two Dragon Flame Roaring Cannons.
"You court death!"
Enraged,
Xie Ming immediately summoned dozens of dark green fireballs,
launching them toward Hang Yu.
Jia Xu instantly enveloped himself within the Supreme Yin Demonic Idol,
forcibly enduring the entire barrage.
Even so,
over half of the Demonic Idol was burned away,
demonstrating just how terrifying Xie Ming's spells truly were.
Three figures immediately rushed forward,
surrounding Xie Ming.
They were
Wen Pin,
Zhou Cang,
and the Shadow Skeleton.
Jia Xu sat cross-legged inside the half-melted Supreme Yin Demonic Idol.
Powerful magical energy surged continuously from his body,
rapidly repairing the damaged idol,
while countless sealing rune chains spread outward,
locking down the surrounding space.
Jia Xu chuckled.
"Don't be in such a hurry. If you want to challenge our Lord, you'll have to get past us first."
"You?"
Xie Ming snorted coldly.
"Those who stand in my way shall die!"
Terrifying energy erupted from the eye on his forehead,
instantly affecting everyone present.
"Today, you insects shall witness this Lord's true power!"
【You have been affected by "Eye of Purgatory"!】
【Health -1%, Mana -1%!】
【Health -1%, Mana -1%!】
【...】
Jia Xu could clearly feel
that Xie Ming had transformed into a black hole,
radiating an overwhelming suction force.
This force did not draw in physical matter.
Instead,
it devoured vitality,
mana,
spirit,
and even the soul itself.
"What a terrifying technique!"
Countless horrifying illusions appeared before Jia Xu.
Fortunately,
he was far from ordinary.
The instant the illusion took hold,
he forcefully broke free.
Even so,
his Health and Mana continued draining relentlessly.
Wen Pin and Zhou Cang
fared even worse.
Both had become completely trapped within the domain created by the Eye of Purgatory.
Zhou Cang felt as though he had fallen into an endless frozen mountain range,
his body rapidly freezing solid,
rendering him completely immobile.
Wen Pin,
meanwhile,
felt himself trapped inside a roaring volcano,
with endless flames scorching him from every direction.
"What terrifying power!"
"No wonder he's a Starsea Lord!"
Neither Zhou Cang nor Wen Pin
could break free anytime soon.
Their Health and Mana drained ever faster.
As long as Xie Ming maintained the spell,
they would have no opportunity to retaliate.
Only death awaited them.
Xie Ming laughed coldly.
"I shall grind your minds into dust and extract your souls for eternal torment!"
At that moment,
however,
two puppet threads,
so fine they were nearly invisible,
descended from the sky,
landing atop Zhou Cang and Wen Pin's heads.
【You have been affected by "Supreme Yin Puppet Secret Art." Evaluating...】
It was the Strategist!
Jia Xu's voice traveled through the puppet threads directly into their minds.
"Don't resist. With your current strength, you can't break free from Xie Ming's secret technique. Leave it to me."
"Understood!"
During these past days,
Jia Xu's capabilities had become obvious to everyone.
Xie Ming's strength
far surpassed both Zhou Cang and Wen Pin.
They knew they couldn't escape through their own power,
so they simply relinquished control of their bodies,
allowing Jia Xu to take over.
The next instant,
Xie Ming's expression changed.
The two Human generals,
who had been rendered nearly incapable of fighting by his secret technique,
suddenly broke free
and simultaneously attacked him.
"Jia Xu!"
Xie Ming immediately realized what had happened.
With one hand,
Jia Xu manipulated Zhou Cang,
Wen Pin,
and the Supreme Yin Demonic Puppet refined from Skeleton Gan Ning through his Puppet Secret Art.
With the other,
he controlled sealing rune chains that locked down the surrounding space,
launching attacks from every direction.
"Damn it!"
"How could such an insignificant Human Lord possibly possess such an extraordinary subordinate?!"
Xie Ming had no choice
but to interrupt the Eye of Purgatory.
He immediately summoned ten Purgatory Flame Spears.
Seven of them
shot directly toward Jia Xu himself.
The spears pierced straight into the seemingly indestructible Supreme Yin Demonic Idol.
Jia Xu immediately summoned his Abyssal Stone Coffin,
hiding himself inside.
After piercing through the Demonic Idol,
the spears had already become spent force,
leaving them unable to harm Jia Xu within the coffin.
Wen Pin activated a shield reflection skill,
deflecting two of the attacks.
Before Xie Ming could launch another offensive,
the Shadow Skeleton unleashed a Shadow Arrow Rain.
Hundreds of invisible shadow arrows
shot toward Xie Ming from every direction.
At the same time,
Zhou Cang let out a thunderous roar,
raising his massive blade with both hands
before unleashing an earth-shattering Blazing Tiger Earth-Shattering Slash!
Under Jia Xu's control,
the combat power of the three allies
had not weakened.
Instead,
it had become even stronger.
That was because Jia Xu's talent granted enhancement effects.
Targets completely controlled by him
did not lose strength.
Instead,
their overall combat power increased by as much as twenty percent.
At this moment,
Zhou Cang and Wen Pin
were even stronger than they were under normal circumstances.
Although Xie Ming possessed combat power comparable to a Level 30 peak first-rate Overlord,
facing four opponents of similar level simultaneously,
even he
could not determine the outcome in a short period.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions rang out one after another.
While Jia Xu and Xie Ming exchanged blows,
Dragon Flame Roaring Cannons
continued reducing one defensive structure after another
to ashes.
Although Hang Yu encountered some resistance during the process,
those attacks
were no more threatening to him than scratching an itch.
None posed any real danger.
When the final Barrier Tower
collapsed,
Shaxian City
lost the protection of its barrier.
"Great!"
"Brothers! Charge into the city! Capture the Blessing Point!"
"..."
Ye Li Meng,
Black-Eyed Rui Ge,
Little Bell,
Toasting the Moon,
Arthur King,
and the other elite players
activated the Black Dragon Spirit Horse skill,
Flame Leap.
More than a dozen Black Dragon Spirit Horses
leapt several meters into the air simultaneously.
Once fully airborne,
their four hooves slammed against empty space,
igniting blazing flames,
before carrying their riders another twenty meters through the sky.
Nearly twenty Tier-Three player elites
landed atop the city walls.
Tier-Three city walls
reduced the attributes of hostile units by 15%.
As soon as the players landed,
they immediately felt the weakening effect.
However,
that slight suppression
did absolutely nothing to diminish their fighting spirit.
"Charge!"
"Open the city gates!"
"Let everyone else in!"
Ye Li Meng swung the Thousand Skull Demon Hammer.
A devastating downward strike
created an enormous shockwave before the city gates,
sending dozens of Devouring Armored Corpses flying in every direction.
Little Bell immediately deployed the Four-Talisman Demon-Slaying Formation.
The others hurriedly followed.
"We've broken through!"
"The city's fallen!"
"Charge!"
"Victory is within reach!"
"Long live the Lord!"
"Long live the Calamity Army!"
More than two thousand players,
their morale at its peak,
charged into the breached Shaxian City alongside their respective squads,
engaging the remaining defenders in fierce combat.
The rest of the Human army,
led by the Azure Dragon Guards and the Black Tiger officers,
followed closely behind.
The battle
had already reached this point.
The overall outcome
had long since been decided.
Although Xie Ming,
fighting one against four,
had not fallen behind,
he could no longer decide the battle within a short period.
As he watched the Human army flood into the city,
he knew
that he had lost once again.
There were no choices left.
Continuing to defend the city
meant certain death.
Shaxian
could no longer be held.
Xie Ming suddenly roared.
His body instantly expanded to more than five times its original size,
transforming into a seven-meter-tall monstrous corpse,
its face blue,
its fangs exposed,
its appearance hideous beyond words.
Its decaying skin
covered its entire body.
Yet beneath the cracked flesh,
countless crimson eyeballs
covered every inch.
This was a transformation skill.
After activating it,
Xie Ming temporarily transformed into the Hundred-Eyed Corpse King.
In this form,
his physical body became extraordinarily durable,
while his survivability increased dramatically.
Neither the endless Shadow Arrow Rain
nor Zhou Cang's devastating slashes
could significantly injure him.
He simply endured everything head-on.
"So this really is troublesome."
Jia Xu immediately recognized
that this was one of Xie Ming's greatest trump cards.
Not only did it drastically increase his defense and survivability,
it also converted Mana into regenerative power.
As long as his Mana remained,
no matter how severe the injuries,
he could instantly regenerate.
The technique was powerful,
but certainly could not last forever.
Bursting with tremendous strength,
Xie Ming shattered the surrounding seals.
His overall combat power
also rose considerably.
Jia Xu immediately moved to block the route toward the Blessing Point,
preventing Xie Ming from escaping through teleportation.
Yet,
instead of using his transformation to flee,
Xie Ming abruptly turned around
and charged directly toward Hang Yu.
Madness completely filled his twisted face.
There's still a chance!
One final chance!
Kill the Human Lord!
Everything can still be reversed!
"Die!"
Xie Ming let out a deep roar,
his aura climbing to its absolute peak.
It wasn't that he had no chance of escaping.
But if he fled now,
defeat would become irreversible.
That outcome
was utterly unacceptable.
Therefore,
he chose one final gamble.
Jia Xu watched the Corpse Lich Lord's actions unfold.
He neither had time to stop him,
nor did he intend to.
Everything
was proceeding exactly according to plan.
The moment Xie Ming abandoned escape
and instead charged toward the Human Lord,
his fate
had already reached its final page.
Facing the murderous Corpse Lich Lord rushing toward him,
Hang Yu knew
the moment had arrived.
A Lord
could never be underestimated.
Especially a cunning Corpse Fiend.
He undoubtedly possessed numerous escape methods for desperate situations.
Therefore,
if he was to be killed,
it had to be done in one overwhelming burst,
without giving him even the slightest chance to recover.
That wasn't easy.
Even for Hang Yu.
That was why
he hadn't confronted Xie Ming from the beginning.
Jia Xu and the others had first exhausted a considerable portion of Xie Ming's strength.
Now,
the perfect moment to end the battle
had finally arrived.
Hang Yu activated his cultivation technique.
Tyrannical Blazing Flame Saber Art!
The spear blade
instantly became enveloped in blazing energy.
At the same time, an overwhelming aura began rising from his body.
It was none other than
the ultimate technique—
Martial Saint's Three Slashes!
"What's happening?!"
Xie Ming instinctively sensed overwhelming danger,
yet had no time to think.
The next instant, a dazzling, blazing slash shot toward him at a speed beyond his comprehension.
-10,776 (Fatal Critical!)
The slash passed through the Corpse Lich Lord, leaving behind a molten scar stretching dozens of meters across the ground.
Xie Ming's Hundred-Eyed Corpse King's body was cleaved cleanly in half, yet instantly regenerated.
He simply couldn't understand how such a supposedly weak Human could unleash such a terrifying attack.
"You can't kill me!"
Xie Ming roared,
preparing to retaliate.
Hang Yu was even faster.
The second slash arrived immediately afterward.
Its power far surpassed the first.
The brilliant blade light illuminated the entire city, as though intending to split the heavens themselves apart.
-19,455 (Fatal Critical!)
Two fatal critical strikes in succession.
Under normal circumstances,
Xie Ming should already have died.
Most of the countless eyes covering his body
exploded instantly.
His bisected body
regenerated once more.
"You hid your true strength!"
Only now
did Xie Ming finally realize
just how unbelievably foolish his decision had been.
The Human Lord
wasn't weak at all.
He was vastly stronger than Xie Ming had ever imagined.
Hang Yu gave no reply.
Because
the third slash
had already finished gathering power.
Everyone present
could clearly feel
the terrifying heat erupting into existence.
This slash
combined both the Tyrannical Blazing Flame Saber Art
and the final strike of the Martial Saint's Three Slashes.
Its destructive power
far exceeded imagination.
The blade light
instantly chopped the Corpse Lich Lord
into countless charred fragments.
Even an entire section of the city wall behind him
was sliced completely apart.
-32,421 (Fatal Critical!)
Another guaranteed fatal critical strike!
Xie Ming's shattered,
charred remains
twitched several times,
then reassembled themselves once again beneath a strange force.
However,
every single eye covering the Hundred-Eyed Corpse King
had already exploded.
Its flesh rapidly shriveled and withered.
It had clearly reached its limit.
The gap...
was simply too great!
He had absolutely no power to fight back!
Xie Ming immediately abandoned all hesitation
and turned to flee.
Hundred Birds Chasing the Phoenix!
Hang Yu activated the charge technique from the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear Technique.
At the same time,
he activated King's Might.
Like a blazing meteor,
he instantly caught up to the fleeing Xie Ming,
driving his spear straight through him
and pinning him to the center of Shaxian City.
-20,531 (Critical!)
No matter how powerful the transformation skill was,
no matter how enormous his Health pool,
no matter how incredible his survivability,
everything had its limits.
And Xie Ming had already reached his.
The instant he was nailed to the ground,
his body transformed once again.
The transformation ended, him from the Hundred-Eyed Corpse King to his normal appearance.
"Wait!"
After enduring Hang Yu's overwhelming assault, every last drop of Mana had been exhausted.
His Health had fallen into critical condition.
That overwhelming power had not merely crushed him.
It had completely shattered every ounce of ambition, every trace of confidence.
Only unprecedented terror remained.
I was wrong!
Terribly wrong!
This had been a battle that could never have been won!
"I surrender! I surrender!"
"My territory is yours!"
"As long as you spare my life, I'll agree to every condition!"
At that moment, the nearby players surrounded him.
"Hahahaha!"
"Weren't you acting all arrogant just now?"
"Why aren't you so cocky anymore?"
"Surrender? You think surrender matters now?"
"I liked you better when you were acting all proud and rebellious!"
"Brothers! Stop wasting time talking! Let's show this idiot what we're made of!"
"This is completely secured now!"
"Drop your loot already!"
"..."
How could the greedy players of the Calamity Army possibly miss such a perfect opportunity to beat a drowning dog?
This was a Lord!
The loot explosion would definitely be enormous!
Without another word, they all swarmed forward.
Countless blades rose and fell, hacking the Corpse Lich Lord into countless pieces.
This Corpse Lich Lord, whose strength was far from weak and whose ambitions had once reached the heavens, probably never imagined that in the end, he would die in such a miserable, humiliating fashion— at the hands of a group of seemingly insignificant members of the Calamity Army.
