Chapter 789: Fall of the Emperor's Star

As soon as Sister Windcloud Nine said those words, everyone was shocked speechless.

Li Yi and Qian’er stared at Sister Windcloud Nine at the same time, slack-jawed, their gazes utterly perplexed. That was when Sister Windcloud Nine said something that immediately exasperated them both.

“I’m flaming him, teehee!” Sister Windcloud Nine made another peace sign…

“…”

“Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, kneel down!”

“Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, f*ck off!”

“Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, you’re weak!”

…

Unlike the others, Brother Windcloud Nine did not stop once he started spamming. Money was not an issue to him, so for a while there, his messages were the only ones left on the World Channel. Every other voice had been drowned out…

In the meantime, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth may have posted a few messages, but in the midst of Brother Windcloud Nine’s tidal barrage, those pathetic few messages had drowned in the ocean of red before they could even be published properly.

Spamming on the World Channel required money, and to regular players, spending money on something like this was nothing short of a waste. To Brother Windcloud Nine, who had all the money he could ever ask for, however, this was a matter of pride.

“That r*tard, his family’s money really does grow on trees!”

“F*ck, he’s wasting his money! I seriously hate people like that!”

“Idiot, he has the money but not the brains to use it…”

Many players spammed criticisms of Brother Windcloud Nine, but it was just their jealousy speaking.

Brother Windcloud Nine did not need any more money, because he had more money than he could ever hope to spend. The money he used to spam the World Channel was nothing to him. To regular players, 100,000 Gold Coins was a huge sum, but to Brother Windcloud Nine, it was not even enough for him to reinforce his equipment once.

When one’s vantage point and position in the world was different, their views would naturally differ.

It must be said that Brother Windcloud Nine’s making it rain had very immediate and obvious effects. Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, who had been crowing arrogantly, withered, and then the World Channel fell quiet…

After Sister Windcloud Nine made up some nonsense to flame Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, the latter had not had the time to retort before Brother Windcloud Nine spammed the Channel. As a result, many people who did not know the truth began to think that he really did do all things.

After all, Li Yi previously said that Tyrant Sword King the Fifth collected women’s underwear, and Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had not refuted it. The spectators who did not know the truth simply made a reasonable leap of logic.

The World Channel World this time ended in Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s utter defeat…

At the time, Li Yi and the others had no idea that Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was steaming at the ears in Sin City.

Recently, he had been solo leveling in the Hellscream Dungeon for a long while, all so he could get the King’s Equipment Set. He had spent a ton of money in order to make up for the lost time, and after he emerged from the dungeon, he also bought a Limit Break Stone (Tool, increases Territory Rank by 2) from a mysterious player. He had just about run out of Gold Coins, so after he posted a few messages on the World Channel, he realized that he had run out of Gold Coins to continue spamming…

If it were not for that, he would have lashed back a long time ago.

In other words, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had gotten carried away. It was because things had been going to well for him lately. Not only had he gotten his hands on that powerful equipment and the Limit Break Stone, he had even attained the first kill of the Fourth and Fifth Demon Gods. After that, his father called him and told him in no uncertain terms that the Wang Enterprise’s committee board had unanimously voted to approve the Shangri-La project. They had decided to abandon all of the company’s other projects and invest all of their funds into the game instead.

What was more, he received another piece of good news after that. The Lin family gave him their word that they would definitely make Qian’er marry him within half a year.

Those words sent Tyrant Sword King the Fifth over the moon. All of it went to his head, which was why he publicly challenged Li Yi on the World Channel.

However, he had forgotten that he did not have many Gold Coins left on him…

By the time he used real money to buy a new load of Gold Coins, Brother Windcloud Nine had long since stopped spamming.

The World Channel had returned to normal, and a few rich young masters were discussing girls there, showing off their wealth.

“Don’t falsely accuse me of things, Sister Windcloud Nine. I don’t even know you!”

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth stewed for a long time before he finally came up with a relatively tame line.

He then spammed it ten times, showing out the rich young masters’ messages.

Just then, his heart began to pound and he braced himself for another flame war.

Unfortunately, no one accepted the challenge this time.

After the ten red letters, the young masters picked up their conversation again.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was slightly perplexed, and then he sent a few more messages taunting Li Yi, but these did not even make a splash before they sank into the silence.

When Tyrant Sword King the Fifth suddenly fell quiet during the first battle, many unknowing players assumed that this was his way of indirectly admitting to the charge.

Now the others had left, but here he came again. What a tool!

How could anyone believe him under these circumstances?

Li Yi and the others were still sitting in the Kannon’s Heart Dungeon, having fun chatting idly as they saw the World Channel messages.

When it came to wars of words, Li Yi knew where to draw the line. Right now, the last thing he should do was let Tyrant Sword King the Fifth have his way. The more he tried to incite an argument, the more Li Yi should ignore him. That was the only way to deter him.

There were also less than ten minutes until the dungeon reset…

Brother Windcloud Nine suddenly leaped to his feet, crying, “Dark Wing, we forgot to fight the boss!”

It just only hit Flower Underpants too. “Ohmygod, how could we forget that?”

When he looked at Li Yi, his expression grew even more conflicted, torn between crying and laughter.

They had forgotten to fight the boss because of the flame war, and everyone else had lost track of the time too. Li Yi did not, however; he just did not remind the others, that was all.

“We have less than ten minutes left, how can we possibly beat it?”

Li Yi stood up, his gaze determined. “We won’t know unless we give it a shot. Sister Nine, release the Sacred Sword!”

“Clang clang clang!”

Sister Windcloud Nine released the Tuhr Sacred Sword.

“Comrades, buck up and let’s give this one more try!” Flower Underpants yelled at the people around him.

“Let’s do it!”

“Let’s go!”

The party members got to their feet and riled themselves up.

In truth, many people here had not forgotten about the boss. They just did not have the confidence that they could defeat it, which was why they did not remind the leaders.

Sister Windcloud Nine stepped up, hugging her sword, and walked to the pedestal with the will to die for her comrades.

“Regicides, you shall turn to ash!”

Bahanuq leaped off the pedestal on horseback and galloped straight at Sister Windcloud Nine.

“Territory— God’s Protection!” Nirvana Inaction did his thing again.

Bahanuq slashed at Sister Windcloud Nine three times but did not hurt her. That was when Li Yi gave the command to attack.

[Warning! Warning! The dungeon will reset in five minutes, and players inside at the time will be forcefully sent out. In order to prevent unnecessary losses, please leave the dungeon before the reset.]

The red system warning appeared before their eyes, and when the party members saw the notification, they grew even more disheartened…

They only had five minutes left, and when their time was up, they would be forcefully sent out of the dungeon. Could they beat Bahanuq within five minutes?

They could not do it last time, so how… could they possibly do it this time?

Li Yi was still putting his all into his attacks. After two shots of Shooting Star Arrow Hail, he activated God Mode and began to shoot an endless supply of True Overlord Arrows.

Seeing how hard the commander was fighting, the other party members had no choice but to persevere. It was the last time anyway, so they might as well.

“Go, go, darling! Go, go, Dark Wing! Go, go, Lil Jiao! Go, go, Qian’er! …”

Sister Windcloud Nine did not stand idly by, either. As she weathered Bahanuq’s attacks, she kept cheering them on.

Two minutes later, three minutes away from the dungeon reset, Bahanuq suddenly stopped attacking and looked into the distance.

It was looking toward the entrance of the Black Forest Fortress, where Babarossa was standing guard.

Roaring flames burned the entrance to the Black Forest Fortress, black smoke billowing into the sky.

“Did Babarossa die in battle? That’s… impossible!”

Bahanuq’s body shook slightly and it gazed in the direction of the Black Forest. With a Chang, its two-handed greatsword clattered to the ground, and it fell off its horse…

Just then, Li Yi received a system notification.

“Ding!”

[Congratulations, you have achieved the first kill of the Kannon’s Heart Instance Dungeon. Announce first kill to the world?]

“Yes!” Li Yi chose to make the announcement.

The system notifications appeared!

[Player Dark Wing led his party and successfully achieved the first kill of the gatekeeper boss, Bahanuq, thereby clearing the Kannon’s Heart Instance Dungeon. Let us congratulate him!]

[Obtained achievement Fall of the Emperor’s Star.]

[Obtained Hall of Fame Achievement!]

[Obtained 1 Hall of Fame Point!]

[Obtained 5 Skill Points!]

[Player Brother Windcloud Nine successfully achieved the first kill of the gatekeeper boss, Bahanuq, thereby clearing the Kannon’s Heart Instance Dungeon. Let us congratulate him!]

[Obtained achievement Fall of the Emperor’s Star.]

[Obtained Hall of Fame Achievement!]

[Obtained 1 Hall of Fame Point!]

[Obtained 5 Skill Points!]

The system spammed notifications, and all 50 members of the party obtained the same rewards.

…

“What the f*ck is this?”

“F*ck, what’s happening now?”.

Every member of the party was utterly lost…

[Warning! Warning! The dungeon will reset in 10 seconds, and players inside at the time will be forcefully sent out. In order to prevent unnecessary losses, please leave the dungeon before the reset.]

[10… 9… 8… 7…]

Before the party members could even make sense of what was happening, the dungeon reset warning reappeared.

Li Yi activated his Rocket Propellant and flew alongside the Emperor’s Sword, making a beeline for Bahanuq’s corpse. He then pressed his hand to the black horse.

“Swish swish swish—”

The ten-second countdown ran out, and every member of the party inside the dungeon turned into streaks of white light, forcefully sent out of the dungeon.

When Li Yi and the others opened their eyes, they had been transported to a glacier on the North Pole Continent.

Every single one of the 50 members was there.

“Commander, what just happened? Why did the boss suddenly die by itself?”

“Yeah, what’s going on? I’m still completely lost.”

Everyone spoke at once, asking Li Yi for clarification.

Li Yi laughed to himself silently, but he would never admit it out loud.

“I’m not sure either, but I think this should be one of the dungeon’s hidden settings.

“Still, it doesn’t matter what actually happened. One thing’s for sure, we passed the Kannon’s Heart Instance Dungeon!”

Li Yi raised the black horse head way up high, saying with a smile, “Everyone, should we roll for this or bid for it?”

“It’s the Black Horse Mount!”

Everyone looked at the black horse head in Li Yi’s hands with fire in their eyes.
