441 The Start Of A Messy Battlefield
Currently, the Mages’ health points were only around 2,500, and their Defense was much lower—it was pitiful. To Lin Jie, who had activated Heart of Enrage and Blood Power, killing the Mages was a piece of cake, taking one down with each slash! Besides the few Mages that reacted fast enough and activated Magical Shield, the others were all killed in the blink of an eye.
Army Obliteration, together with Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner, killed tens of Mages instantly! Many items dropped to the ground with a thud, and looking at their color, they were all Gold!
The battle could be triggered at any moment!
“F*ck, I told you to hurry and instakill him, who told you to talk nonsense? If you had made a move earlier, then there wouldn’t be so many problems!” cursed Eighteen Massacres. His perfect plan was about to succeed, but Lin Jie had forcibly turned the tables! Businessmen valued profit, so Eighteen Massacres worked with Character Z, but it was also benefits which created cracks between them.
Lin Jie took advantage of that little crack, he tempted them with benefits and also deluded them. In addition, Lin Jie had arranged Inksnow to ambush them at the map beforehand, and therefore, turning the tables!
Character Z’s face turned red with anger, and his voice became sharper due to extreme rage. He shouted angrily, “Shut the f*ck up! He is a mere Berserker! I don’t believe the tens of thousands of elites in Twilight Transmigration can’t kill one person! Even if each of them spits on him, he would also be drowned! Brothers, attack and kill him!”
With that order, Lin Jie suddenly noticed that all the red dots on the map gathered together. They were all from Twilight Transmigration! It seemed like there were a few thousand people. That crazy bast*rd actually moved that many people just to kill Lin Jie. In that instant, everyone’s attention was on Lin Jie.
“Hahaha… Z, long time no see. When was the last time we met?” Ghost Eyes’ bold voice could be heard from the above. The best Hunter in Hunter’s Guild had already been observing them for a long time on the tree. He showed himself as Twilight Transmigration’s people appeared.
Ghost Eyes pulled his bow, and the roar of the wind could be heard from all sides, it was the skill Phoenix Cry! He had once cooked all the fish at the top of the ocean in the Fishing Competition using that skill.
The phoenix, a bird burning in flames, instantly charged into the crowd of people. That was the ultimate skill of Ghost Eyes and instantly killed tens of people! Since he was the Hunter’s Guild’s leader, he was quite powerful.
Character Z’s heart was bleeding as he saw his underlings die! He glared daggers at Dumb Fox and Ghost Eyes. “Since the two of you came, where’s Heaven Plume? Where is he?” he asked in a solemn tone.
“Sigh… Why must I come out too?” Heaven Plume said meekly as he walked out from the forest, behind him was actually a large army of people. One could roughly see the figure of the Angel Descent elite team and many of the core members. He helplessly shrugged as he said, “I am just a powerless passerby, you don’t need to mention my name, do you?”
Now, from Lin Jie’s side, there were 400+ people from Triumphant Midnight, 300+ people from the elite team of Hunter’s Guild, which arrived following Ghost Eye, and about 700+ people from Heaven Plume—they had the most people, which showcased their cautious style.
“Good, very good, very good! Sly Old Fox, Ghost Eyes, and Heaven Plume, although we were always enemies in other games, fighting and secretly obstructing each other were par for the course. However, we are all famous people, the three of you actually allied with a kid that just started? Don’t you think it’s shameful?” Character Z scoffed. “Three middle-aged men bringing countless experts all just to work under a little kid?”
“Games are like in the market. Everyone has to choose a side. Once one chooses wrongly, then one would be devoured up completely, and everything they once had will be split.” Dumb Fox sighed in a thoughtful manner. He turned and said to Lin Jie, “Lone Wolf, Twilight Transmigration has completely surrounded the outside of this map, the difficulty of wanting to charge in was not small. Or else, with our number advantage…”
Lin Jie’s health points had already regen back to the maximum under the help of the Priests. After the Sun Sword was destroyed, the attributes that were sealed by the sword also returned to Lin Jie, then his eyes searched for Eighteen Massacres all around.
That bast*rd was greedy, cruel and full of wild ambitions. If he were to escape, then who knew with how many guilds he would cooperate to create trouble for Lin Jie. The bomb that Lin Jie had planted could be used already, destroy the Sun Demonic Sword, and completely impair him!
However, Eighteen Massacres had already disappeared, he was gone the moment the Steel Allies appeared.
Lin Jie had no choice but to bring his attention back. He nodded and said, “That means now Twilight Transmigration has already surrounded us, and it would be difficult for us to escape?”
“Uh… Yes.” Dumb Fox froze before nodding in agreement. In fact, the people present now were basically the elite teams of each guild or the teams which protected the guild leaders, so without a doubt, they were powerful.
However, the number of people Twilight Transmigration had now was about three times the ones on Lin Jie’s side. As the saying went, “Even many ants together could kill elephants”. With such a large disparity in numbers, if Character Z steeled his heart and used numbers to overpower them without caring about the casualties, then the results were already decided.
“Then, it’s simple.” Lin Jie looked at Character Z. He could not help but smile and say, “Twilight Transmigration guild leader, most probably you already know that we are surrounded by you. As the saying goes, peace brings wealth, so I don’t want our relationship to worsen. How about we discuss our cooperation? I always thought that there is no one in the world that I cannot cooperate with. Therefore, if we work together, we may be able to obtain more benefits from this messy situation. What do you think?”
Character Z had just been tricked by Lin Jie, so it was impossible for him to be fooled a second time! He directly used his actions to give his reply: His right hand, which held the Dark Gold longsword, pointed at Lin Jie’s throat in the distance. He then raised his left palm to his chest and waved it strongly, making a posture of chopping one’s head off.
“Attack! Real Illusion!” Chaos In The Sky roared out ferociously!
With his order, the sound of bodies ripping through the air could be heard successively, it was actually tens of Bandits that made a move!
Chaos In The Sky’s body nearly formed a 30 degrees angle with the ground, then like a sharp arrow or a leopard preying, he charged forward rapidly! Beneath his body was a shadow. According to the job’s special feature, the degree of Stealth Move during quick sprinting was extremely high, so it was impossible to have shadows.
That shadow was the Shadowers’ strongest and most important skill: Real Illusion! Once activated, it could allow one’s shadow to have 50% of the original’s attributes and would be able to replicate all of the original’s movements, including attacks, usage of skill, and drinking of potions… That meant with Real Illusion, all of Chaos In The Sky’s skills had an additional 50% enhancement.
Whoosh——
The two daggers tore through the air and pierced towards Lin Jie!
One of them was the shadow’s dagger.
Lin Jie raised his Broken Blade, and the two daggers were blocked instantly. Also, at that moment, Chaos In The Sky’s attack finally arrived!
Not only so, but the battle was also triggered, and at all corners, fighting instantly broke out. Twilight Transmigration had the advantage of numbers, so they started overpowering the Steel Allies! In the blink of an eye, corpses could be seen scattered everywhere, as hundreds of people had died from the battle.
War had broken out!
“Brother Lone Wolf, take care!” Said Dumb Fox, Ghost Eyes, and Heaven Plume. Then they became serious, and all charged towards the enemies. They were guild leaders, so they had to set an example by leading the attack. If one was not even able to give up their life for comrades, then how would others be willing to sacrifice themselves for one?
“Don’t die, at most 10 minutes and other brothers will arrive.” Inksnow took a look at Lin Jie and raised her shield, then a light in the shape of a shield landed where Lin Jie’s heart was. “Whatever happens, I’ll protect you, but I still need to fight with my brothers from Triumphant Midnight.
[Defender]: You are guarded by “Inksnow”, when you receive damage, you can choose to let Inksnow immediately use Intervene for you to block the incoming attack. This status will disappear once it is used once or after 20 minutes.
Lin Jie smiled as he felt moved. “She still left me a retreat route even at such a moment, looks like she still remembers that favor of me giving her the Flame Warhorse.”
“Hehe… Chaos In The Sky, are you itching to fight with me?” Lin Jie looked at Chaos In The Sky, who was sprinting towards him. He lowered his body, and Broken Blade burnt a deep sword mark on the ground as the Blade Aura was about to be released.
Chaos In The Sky’s teeth sounded from the gritting. He was brothers with Feng Yun and played together since young. Twilight Transmigration had trained Feng Yun and Chaos In The Sky to defeat Codename Lone Wolf. Originally they were able to make a name for themselves, but who expected that Lone Wolf would directly destroy Feng Yun’s Zerg Queen in the end. Naturally, Twilight Transmigration abandoned a Paladin that only knew crowd buffs.
Now, he wanted to find Lin Jie for revenge!
“Come!” Under Chaos In The Sky’s dagger, there was still a dagger from his shadow, and that was the effect brought by Real Illusion! With two Backstabs, he attacked Lin Jie!
Who would have thought that just as the daggers were swung down, it had only hit air!
Lin Jie was nowhere to be seen!
“Not good, boss!” Chaos In The Sky shouted out in astonishment, he turned his head in shock and was about to warn Character Z. However, Lin Jie had no movements as Character Z, and Inksnow battled each other. Inksnow’s defense, which was like iron-plate troubled Character Z who excelled in Attack Speed and only had normal Attack Powers.
What about Lin Jie?
“Whirlwind!”
“Ah…”
A Whirlwind Blade Aura exploded in one of the battling areas! There were about 60+ people fighting there, it included 20 Priests and a large number of Warriors and Paladins from Twilight Transmigration. Priests were the most important resources during PK battles, so the 30 people team that Heaven Plume had sent was trying to wipe out that team.
Immediately after, groans and wails could be heard everywhere! Lin Jie charged into the team, and with a Whirlwind, he directly dealt damage, which decreased the Priests’ Health bars by two-thirds. Then with another attack, instantly, 20 corpses could be seen lying on the ground.
“Hehe…” Lin Jie scoffed, then used Forward Charge, and specifically rushed towards healing teams! He was like a tiger amongst a flock of sheep, unstoppable!
Let Chaos In The Sky tie him down? Of course not! Lin Jie was extremely familiar with the Tian Ji horse racing story[1], so now the strategy he used was to do the opposite and attack the enemy’s weakest with one’s strongest.
Simply speaking, in two words—bullying them!
[1] Tian Ji had a horse racing battle with Emperor Qi, and it was split into three rounds. Fine, medium and inferior horses compete in each round, respectively, but obviously, the quality of Tian Ji’s horses was poorer in terms of quality as compared to Emperor Qi since the emperor had the best horses, so he thought of an idea. He used his inferior horse against Emperor Qi’s fine horse, fine against medium and medium against inferior, thus winning the match 2:1.
