Chapter 1316: The Power of Twelve Divine Armaments

Translator: alyschu

"Blue Sky Scar is coming toward us!"

Gui Guzi looked incredibly excited. He brandished the Dragon God Shield and spurred his Dark Crystal Dragon forward with a laugh, "I’m going! Let’s see how strong Blue Sky Scar really is!"

I hurriedly warned him, "Wait! Blue Sky Scar has Cyan Dragon Slash! If you get one-shot by him…"

"Er, I guess I’ll wait a bit then…" historical

……

A thousand meters away, Blue Sky Scar wielding a heavy sword ordered his Qiu Beast Cavalry, "Take it slow and Guard at all times! Mages and archers, Far Shot your skills every three steps or less! Don’t conserve your MP, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls didn’t bring too many men anyway! Let’s finish this as soon as possible!"

High Fighting Spirits asked me, "So, how are we going to fight this out?"

I raised the Chill of the Nine Provinces and declared, "We’re going for a full-frontal assault! All units, gallop at max speed and knock their magic knights back with brute force! If they dare to Guard in front of you, use Crushing Blow to take them out!"

"Yessir!"

While the Dragonlight Cavalry were charging, Hymn of the Apocalypse raised his bow and declared, "All Dragonlight Archers, prepare to Far Shot! Don’t aim at their frontliners though, focus on killing the mages and priests in the back!"

……

It took only an instant for both sides to make contact with each other. The Dragonlight Cavalry slammed into the magic knights like a truck and successfully knocked them backward, but the magic knights were all protected by a golden sheen of light. As expected, Blue Sky Scar had ordered his units to use Holy Shield Protection to stop the first impact.

However, Chaos Moon, Heaven’s Rain and more brandished their weapons and used Crushing Blow to destroy their Guard and deal a massive amount of damage. The Dragonlight Cavalry charging closely behind them also attacked in turns. AoE skills were the main theme of this battle as Rock Crush, Rock Smash and more staggered the enemy.

However, Candle Dragon was no Pop Culture. Any gap we managed to drill into the defense line was immediately plugged. As a result, our first charge fizzled out before we were able to make it to the end.

"Hold! Hold!" Blue Sky Scar cut down a Dragonlight Cavalryman while shouting, "Reinforcements will be showing up very soon! Hmph! Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls underestimated our Qiu Beast Cavalry too much! Give them the bitter taste of defeat!"

An innumerable amount of magical spells and Spiraling Arrow Blades dropped atop our players and destroyed dozens of them instantly. Unlike all the opponents we had fought up until this point, it definitely felt like Candle Dragon’s cavalry had gone through a massive upgrade. It was thanks to Candlelight Shadow drilling his players for months until their base stats weren’t too far behind Dragonlight Cavalry. Another reason they were able to stop our charge was because they had the number advantage right now.

Boom boom boom…

That wasn’t all. Candle Dragon’s catapults started turning their attention toward us, and our casualties rose dramatically after the payloads of White Marsh Catapults started exploding in our midst. Candle Dragon had been fighting for 20 hours in this contest, so they had had the time to bring even their siege weapons to play. That they were able to seize the initiative from us so thoroughly was definitely something even I hadn’t expected.

……

"Screw holding back!"

I abruptly raised my arm, surrounded myself in my Domain and expanded my bloody wings in full. After I activated Heavenly River Transformation and transformed into a living god, I ordered, "All Ancient Divine Skill owners, transform and cut through their defense line with your Ancient Divine Skills! Show THEM the bitter taste of defeat!"

A giant golden sword appeared in the air, and I brought the Xuanyuan Slash right on top of a group of despairing players. They all looked terrified because they all knew there was no chance they were going to survive this. The Ancient Divine Skill split the earth in half and annihilated hundreds of Qiu Beast Cavalry in one go. Most were one-shot despite having hundreds of thousands of HP, and some were even more unlucky, outright dying from the 25%-chance instadeath effect of the Xuanyuan Slash. Equipment, potions and food littered the ground instantly.

Had I been the only Ancient Divine Skill owner on Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls’ side, Blue Sky Scar would have still had a chance of bringing this around. But when Li Chengfeng, High Fighting Spirits, Heaven’s Rain and Diamond Dust all activated their Heavenly River Transformations and unleashed their Crimson Firmament Slash, Xing Tian’s Defiance, Tiger Wing Slash and Dog God Slash at the same time, there was only one way this battle could end. No level of defense could survive 5 Ancient Divine Skills hitting them at the same time, and over half of the enemy formation went poof just like that. Before we knew it, the battle initiative was back in our hands.

After that, I activated Fusion Armor, summoned my apparition and Phantom Wolf King, and started cutting down the remnants of Blue Sky scar’s forces. No one could survive the sword auras flying out of my blade, and blood ran like a river wherever I traveled to. Li Chengfeng and Gui Guzi on their dragons were also tearing through the enemies in unstoppable fashion. This was especially true for Gui Guzi since he wielded the Ghostblade Halberd!

Whoosh!

As fearless as ever, Gui Guzi flew all the way to the middle of the enemy army and—while being shot at by countless archers—raised his Ghostblade Halberd and shouted, "Taste the power of the Twelve Divine Armaments! Hundred Ghosts Descent!"

Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh…

Beams of ghastly, bloody energies rained from above, and every enemy within a hundred-yard radius instantly dropped to yellow or red HP so fast that not even the priests were able to heal them in time. It was the visual effect of Hundred Ghosts Descent.

I didn’t hesitate to turn the blade of my sword and shouted, "Death!"

The three vortices of darkness on the back of my blade spun wildly, and every enemy player within a thousand yards of me lost 50% of their HP in an instant. Due to Gui Guzi’s earlier attack, most of the players around us were either sitting at medium or low health. The active skill instantly killed them and left a retreating Blue Sky Scar with just 37% HP. There was just nothing he could do against the terrible power of the Twelve Divine Armaments.

……

It was utterly inhuman!

Meanwhile, Li Chengfeng was shouting a warning to Gui Guzi, "Little Gui, you idiot, you’re going to die if you fly too deep into the enemy lines!"

The Undead Knight and his dragon were stunned by a Shock Arrow at that exact moment. I would’ve clapped at the coincidence if he wasn’t one of my own.

"Bring down that arrogant motherfucker!"

After Blue Sky Scar returned to his army with new reinforcements, he immediately ordered to shoot Gui Guzi with everything they got. Unfortunately for him, Gui Guzi had an incredible amount of Defense and the Undying Shield. As a result, his HP refused to fall below 50%.

Candlelight Shadow was watching this from afar. He flew beside a White Marsh Catapult, spun the entire siege weapon around with a single kick, and personally took aim at Gui Guzi. There was a series of mechanical sounds, and a flaming rock struck Gui Guzi and his dragon squarely in the back.

BANG!

The power of the White Marsh Catapult wasn’t something any player could withstand by force. Finally, the tenacious bastard and his dragon fell to the ground.

Thud thud thud…

Blue Sky Scar rushed toward Gui Guzi and leaped into the air. Gripping his sword with both hands and brimming with killing intent, he shouted, "Die, Gui Guzi!"

Pu!

His sword stabbed into Gui Guzi’s chest, and he shouted, "Cyan Dragon Slash!"

Buzz!

The Ancient Divine Skill penetrated Gui Guzi, the Dark Crystal Dragon and the earth itself. Right as Gui Guzi was about to die though, he activated his S Rank Ancient Divine Skill, Shennong Tastes Grass and healed himself for 75% HP, just in time to tank the full power of Blue Sky Scar’s Cyan Dragon Slash!

1490098!

+745049!

Undying Shield absorbed 50% of the damage as HP. Miraculously, Gui Guzi sat at 40% HP even after all the attacks he had suffered.

Blue Sky Scar was furious beyond imagination, and he let that anger fuel his attacks. His sword struck Gui Guzi’s chest again and again, and Gui Guzi was slow to react because his Dark Crystal Dragon, while powerful, had lowered his turn rate.

……

Rustle rustle…

Meanwhile, I had finally made it to Gui Guzi’s side to plant a foot on Blue Sky Scar’s shoulder. The man and his weapon was sent flying across the air at least a dozen or so meters. I managed to hit him with Ancient Seal + Coiling Dragon Revolution, but it wasn’t enough to kill the guy outright.

Thankfully, I wasn’t alone. On the sky, Li Chengfeng swooped down on Blue Sky Scar’s crawling form and activated Dragonbone Flurry. The melee skill had its attack range extended when used on a mount, so it stabbed the ground 7 times in a row like some sort of artillery barrage. Speaking of which, the skill had recently evolved from a three-hit flurry to a seven-hit barrage. Although its attack power per hit was lower, the overall damage was a lot higher.

When the dust settled, Blue Sky Scar’s cooling corpse slowly revealed itself. He was one of the Four War Gods of Candle Dragon, but the other gods of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls had forcefully ended his life. Physically and mentally, it was a terrible blow to Candle Dragon.

……

I waved my arm and shouted, "Continue! We’re going to destroy their siege weapons next and take out Candlelight Shadow and God’s Dance afterward!"

Our hooves trampled over our enemies’ bodies, and it wasn’t long before we engaged the enemy’s ranged parties in melee. Obviously, it was a total slaughter. Ultimate Strength Breaks erupted among the archers, priests, mages, tamers and more, and no one who was caught in the barrage lived to tell the tale. The enemy mages tried to resist with God Devil Breaks as a matter of course, but most of the Dragonlight Cavalry had incredibly high HP. As a result, they got themselves killed instead.

While this was going on, Gui Guzi and a group of players were destroying Candle Dragon’s White Marsh Catapults one by one. Each White Marsh Catapult cost at least ten thousand RMB to build. Candlelight Shadow would be hurting over this for a long time.

……

"Kakaka, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls truly is a guild of justice! Lu Chen and his brothers have come to save us, so it’s only right that we respond with fervor, right guys? Kill!"

Inside the city, Warsky waved his Immortal Blade and kept screaming words of encouragement at his troops.

I rolled my eyes at his antics and muttered, "Who the hell is here to save you, man…"

……

Smoke rose from every corner of the battlefield. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls’ cavalry troops were engaging Candle Dragon’s main force at melee. Both sides were losing players at an incredible rate, but we could afford to die to the last person, and Candle Dragon couldn’t. Our sudden attack might very well have destroyed Candle Dragon’s hopes of conquering Gold City already.

Covered in blood and riddled in holes, Candlelight Shadow looked at me with disappointed and frustrated eyes and asked, "Why are you disrupting our operation, Lu Chen?"

I pointed my sword at him and retorted, "What the hell did you think was gonna happen when you declared war on Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls?"

1. I’m not sure if it was mentioned before, but it looks like Lu Chen gave Gui Guzi his old shield

2. Wow, this is an amazing moment for Candlelight Shadow.
