Chapter 1539: Beiming’s Snipe

Chapter 1539: Beiming’s Snipe

Swhoosh!

My Phantom Wolf King was fighting on the ground, and I was kicking an enemy off a cloud ladder before killing them with a sword aura.

Beiming Xue’s grip on her Xuanming Bow tightened as she said from her Fire Phoenix, "Transient was killed by Flowing Cloud, big bro…"

I nodded. "It’s no surprise. Flowing Cloud is a god and a great player in her own right, while Transient is just a standard mage who doesn’t even have a hidden class. The war at Purple Grape City domain must have reached a crescendo…"

Stranger of Three Lifetimes added, "Now that Elephant City has joined the war, uncle Zhang Chun may not be able to defeat Swallow Ear Canton as quickly as he hoped. The Impassable Great Wall is one of the most difficult fortifications to overcome as well, so expect casualties to be massive…"

Li Chengfeng smiled. "If I was him, I would have dispatched a large troop to circle around Ice River Canton Ruins, slip through Shattered Rock Forest, and strike at the hinterlands of Swallow Ear Canton directly!"

However, He Yi said with a smile on her face, "According to the latest news, Warsky was going to do just that until they were intercepted by Cyan Earth City at Ice River Canton Ruins. God of War himself was leading the army. Farewell Song tried to assassinate God of War, but he was defeated and forced to run away with barely any HP left…"

Gui Guzi gripped his fists tightly. "What the hell? I didn’t know that grandson was so skilled!"

"You can’t become the boss of a server without some skill…"

……

Chaos Moon chuckled. "If only we were the ones who were tackling the Impassable Great Wall…"

I shook my head. "Let’s think about conjectures after we defeat the enemy in front of us, shall we? Until Vienna’s Sorrow shows his face, I can’t help but worry what the hell the bastard has in store for us."

Meanwhile, it was chaos below the walls.

In the sky, Beiming Xue activated the Ranged stratagem to increase her attack range before firing Evil Spirit Volley at a Basic Catapult. By now, her bow-flicking technique was so amazing that she managed to land every arrow on the same target. The Basic Catapult only had less than 3 million HP, and with her current Attack she could destroy 1 Basic Catapult every 3 seconds. It wasn’t long before her Basic Catapult kill count passed 100!

"God damn, Lil Beiming’s Attack is out of this world…" Li Chengfeng rubbed his palms together in joy.

He Yi echoed in agreement, "Yes, Beiming is the treasure of Ancient Sword. The Northern Alliance must be groaning themselves silly over a way to deal with a flying archer right now…"

Gui Guzi declared, "It doesn’t matter what they try. We’ll be there to protect her from all danger."

"Well said!"

Speak of the devil, a large group of Griffon Riders suddenly rose from the horizon. They were obviously planning to kill Beiming!

"I thought it was about time they lost their cool…" I said while scanning the enemy crowd. "Their current commander is Grief of the Dark. Let’s find an opportunity and snipe him later. Olympus is a massive 2-million-player guild. If we keep sniping their commanders, it’s only a matter of time before they collapse from their own weight!"

"Yeah." He Yi nodded while staring at the rallying Griffon Riders. “The Griffon is an incredibly rare Level 220 Heaven Rank mount. There are only 4 maps in the entire Northern Alliance domain that spawns the mount, and Olympus had monopolized one of them. Only super high-level players were allowed to own a Griffon[1], and currently they have a total of over 1000 Griffon Riders. It looks like Olympus was planning to keep their griffon squad hidden, but Beiming’s assault has forced them to reveal themselves."

I smiled. "Yeah. Beiming has high Attack, great accuracy and even aerial advantage right now. It is something they have to deal with. Anyway, get ready to receive the Griffon Riders. When they arrive, Beiming will withdraw to the back, and the rest of us will damage the Griffon Riders as much as possible. Our first mission of the day is to cripple Olympus or better, wipe them from the surface of the continent completely!"

Everyone nodded in unison.

……

Less than two minutes later, a swarm of Griffon Riders flew toward us at high speed. Their leader was a Level 255 warrior called "Blackjack", and his choice of weapon was a halberd. A smirk etched across his lips, he declared, "All units, target the Dark Archer Beiming Xue and throw your Thunder Spears at her the moment we get into range. She must be killed as soon as possible. Also, the Chinese are sure to try to protect her, so make sure to wait for my signal and snipe them one by one. Ideally, we want to destroy all of the enemy’s air force."

"Yes, boss!"

Blackjack then raised his halberd and pointed it straight at Beiming Xue. "It’s almost time. Throw your Thunder Spears the moment the target enters the 100-yard mark!"

Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh…

The Griffon Riders all raised their weapons and manifested a thunder spike at the tip of their blades in response. I had no doubt that it was the Griffon’s active offensive skill; something that few mounts in this game possessed. If the mount was used properly, it was definitely greater than even our Dragonscale Beast!

"Retreat, Beiming!" I shouted.

"Mn!"

Beiming Xue turned around without hesitation, canceled her mount, and fell straight toward the fortress.

Swhoosh! A shockwave spread across the sky as I exploded toward Beiming and caught her between my arms. On her own, there was no way she could’ve dodged all of the Thunder Spears. That was why she was relying on my greater speed to bail her out of the situation.

Meanwhile, hundreds of Thunder Spears reached the spot where Beiming Xue had been a moment earlier, detonating in a spectacular display of fireworks.

While I was flying away from the Griffon Riders, I turned my blade and cast the Xuanyuan Art the moment its 6-minute cooldown was finished. Deleting 70% of the Griffon Riders HP would make it so much easier for the others to deal with them!

"I’ll fight them!"

Gui Guzi rushed toward a group of Griffon Riders and thrust his halberd at them three times. He was able to skewer dozens with Death Flurry and turn them into bits of broken bones and flesh.

Blackjack backed dozens of meters to the back and downed a health potion to heal himself. He then shouted, "Hit Gui Guzi with Thunder Spear!"

About 200 Griffon Riders raised their weapons and cast their mount skill once more.

The rain of thunder looked like a scene from the apocalypse, but Gui Guzi arrogantly raised his shield and Ghostblade Halberd in front of himself and Guarded. He was going to tank all of the attacks!

Bang bang bang…

The Thunder Spears struck, and the explosions were so great that Gui Guzi was pushed back almost a hundred meters. Not only that, his HP was almost all gone, and the trail of big damage numbers behind him was positively shocking—

217,377!

221,132!

MISS!

212,373!

……

Every Thunder Spear dealt about 190k damage to him. Although 50% of the damage he received was converted to HP, he was left with less than 7% HP when all was said and done. It was a close call that drained all the blood from his face as he swore, "What the fuck! I had over 16 million HP, and I still almost died?? This is ridiculous!"

Li Chengfeng executed a Dragonblade Revolution + Dragonbone Flurry combo from the flanks and tore twenty 30%-health Griffon Riders to pieces before saying, "You WOULD have died if you hadn’t gotten lucky and dodged some of the Thunder Spears while your ass was being blown across the air!"

While the duo was bantering, I helped Beiming Xue to the ground before turning around and firing a couple of Ancient Seals. At the same time, I threw the Xuanyuan Sword at the Griffon Riders using Coiling Dragon Revolution!

Swhoosh!

As the cyclone created by Coiling Dragon Revolution ripped through the Griffon Riders, He Yi and Lian Xin launched their own combos as well. Together, we had taken out nearly 200 Griffon Riders in total. However, the rain of Thunder Spears was so dense that He Yi had to beat a retreat after her health had fallen dangerously low, and Lian Xin just barely escaped death by the skin of her teeth. Both girls looked shocked by the amount of damage they received from the Griffon Riders.

……

Buzz!

A thick light surrounded the Dihai Shield as I flew to the forefront. After I caught the returning Xuanyuan Sword, I fired Burning Blade Slash while saying in the party channel, "I’m going to bait these Griffon Riders into flying close to the walls. Beiming, activate your Range stratagem and order the Dragonlight Archers to shoot them when they’re about 100 yards away from you. We’re going to turn all these Griffon Riders into pincushions!"

Beiming Xue responded brightly, "Got it, big bro!"

Right after that, I activated Heavenly River Transformation and swung a Xuanyuan Slash at the enemy!

Blackjack’s eyes widened as he shouted, "Watch out, it’s the Xuanyuan Slash! Scatter!"

Thanks to Blackjack’s timely warning, my Xuanyuan Slash only managed to kill 100 or so players. The Griffon Riders also displayed incredible discipline by returning to formation right after they had dodged the skill.

"Thunder Spears on Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand!" Blackjack ordered, following the order with deep resentment. "This is the man who has thwarted our efforts again and again! Today’s the day we settle our score with him!"

Hundreds of Thunder Spears rained toward me, but I was fearless because they were no Ancient Divine Skill. I placed my shield in front of myself, activated Profound Armor, and continued attacking the Griffon Riders like I wasn’t being bombarded by them!

Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh…

I shuddered like a leaf as Thunder Spear after Thunder Spear struck my body. However, the damage numbers that appeared surprised not just Blackjack, but also myself—

37,263!

41,277!

32,737!

……

Having triple the amount of Defense was just too good, especially since Unusual Physique was a skill that diminished or outright nullified all damage below a certain threshold. These Griffon Riders might be outstanding players within the Northern Alliance, but both their levels and equipment were far inferior to mine.

That being said, 300 Thunder Spears still equaled to around 10 million damage or so. Since the skill only had a cooldown of 12 seconds, it would only take the enemy 3 rounds at most to kill even me!

Blackjack raised his blade and encouraged his men, "Well done! Two more rounds like that, and Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand will be knocked out of this war! Do what even Vienna’s Sorrow cannot do, Olympus!"

I didn’t hesitate to turn around and flew parallel to the wall.

As the 800 Griffon Riders chased behind me, Blackjack made a quick calculation inside his head before shouting, "Make sure you are at least 50 yards away from the walls! Also, throw your Trapping Nets at Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand and immobilize him!"

I was afraid they wouldn’t eat the bait, so I purposely slowed down and allowed the Trapping Nets to hit me. Dozens of misses later, one of them finally took effect and immobilized me for 6 seconds.

As I fell toward the ground, I yelled in the guild channel, "Catch me please, Eve! It would be embarrassing if I died to fall damage here…"

He Yi simply chuckled and stayed silent.

"Here they come!" Beiming Xue cried out, "Ready! 3-2-1! Loose!"

……

Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh…

The arrows sailed across the sky like a swarm of locusts. Amazingly, every single Griffon Rider was stunned by the volley. After that, well, there was no ‘after’ for them. The Holy Mages treated them to a baptism of magic, and less than half a minute later, the sky was completely free from their taint. All 800+ Griffon Riders landed on the ground as cold, dead corpses.

……

"Fuck!"

Grief of the Dark hit the ground with his scepter and raged, "I cannot believe that fucking idiot inted our best troops!"

1. T/N: you mean who reached Level 255 the fastest? Cuz divine players won’t be riding a Griffon, and everyone else is stuck at 255 ☜
