"But God of Slaughter is only slightly over Level 100 now. Even if he uses those thods he employed before, it’s going to be very difficult to contend with the other super-tier experts." Dong Huan still spoke with evident concern, feeling sowhat at a loss.
The Gentleman shook his head. "The previous thods won’t work—what about new ones? His Reincarnation has already been over three months, and no one knows what new thods he might have gained. So people, you’ll never truly grasp the extent of what they can do. You just need to trust that they have the ability to resolve seemingly impossible predicants."
Upon hearing the Gentleman’s words, Dong Huan finally felt reassured, and hope reignited within him, pulling him from rock-bottom despair. He looked gratefully at the Gentleman and said, "No matter what, whether it’s God of Slaughter or you, Gentleman, you’re both benefactors to the Xuanyuan Clan! Otherwise, we’d be left waiting for Brother Sword Emperor to return and save us."
The Gentleman smiled faintly without replying.
The two continued to chat as they walked toward the Teleportation Circle in the City of Desire, rushing to support Xuanyuan Clan’s guild territory.
...
anwhile, at the Teleport Plaza in Xuanyuan City, a flash of light revealed a slender figure wielding a War Halberd!
It was Huang Yi!
He had stationed scouts near Desire Arises from the Heart and had imdiately learned about Dong Huan’s confrontation with Desire in the eting hall. As soon as he received the intelligence, Huang Yi knew he had no ti to prepare and decided to join the battlefield and help the Xuanyuan Clan overco their crisis!
After issuing orders to Zu Zaiyu to ready the troops, Huang Yi instantly teleported to Xuanyuan City. Given their status as allied guilds, the Teleportation Circle didn’t bar his entry.
The mont he arrived, Huang Yi saw the busy crowd, their faces heavy with worry. From afar, the faint sounds of battle cries reached his ears, causing an involuntary pounding in his heart.
Huang Yi imdiately sent a ssage to Yun Sihai: "What’s the situation on the battlefield now?"
Yun Sihai quickly replied back, his words brimming with urgency: "Many of our territories can’t hold out anymore, and the brothers have retreated to the guild city. But the Heavenly Curtain Barrier can’t withstand the enemies’ magic cannonfire. If dozens of magic cannons attack simultaneously, the barrier would be destroyed in an instant. Right now, Yellow Emperor City is in the most critical situation. The Heavenly Curtain Barrier is already down, and we’ve entered street combat! And we didn’t assign a Heavenly Domain Guardian for that city. It might fall into enemy hands soon. I’m currently in the southern outskirts of Xuanyuan City, commanding the battle personally."
"What about the enemies’ super-tier experts?" Huang Yi asked further. Ordinary players were manageable with sufficient reinforcents, but the real challenge was the super-tier experts. By now, in The Second World, almost every super-tier expert had developed thods to counter mass-attack tactics. While not as obvious as his Legal Protection, their techniques were nearly on par.
"Currently, there are three super-tier experts on the battlefield: Dante, T.N.T., and Miyamoto Musashi. I’m fighting Miyamoto Musashi, Lin Yiqin is battling Dante, and no one can hold T.N.T. back right now. You should co over and deal with T.N.T.!" Yun Sihai explained the situation briefly.
"Boom!" Just then, from the eastern skies above Xuanyuan City, bright lightning bolts suddenly descended one after another, illuminating the entire world as if the heavens were enraged and unleashing thunderbolts to punish mankind. Even from a great distance, the sight was enough to make people tremble uncontrollably!
The people around the Teleport Plaza were startled by the sudden flash and turned their heads toward the eastern sky!
"A super-tier expert... The Pope!" Huang Yi stared at the lightning-filled eastern sky, and the na of a legendary expert imdiately surfaced in his mind!
The Pope was the world’s greatest magician and a rare Lightning Mage. The thunderous lightning reigning down from the heavens was enormous in its intensity and divine wrath—sothing ordinary players could not achieve. Such a fierce Thunder Magic Attack could only be unleashed by an expert like the Pope!
Almost at the sa ti, the western skies also suddenly underwent a dramatic change, sending forth waves of green light!
Huang Yi quickly turned his sharp gaze toward the west, spotting distant green rain droplets continually descending. They radiated an aura of vitality, resembling a veritable Rain of Life.
"A super-tier expert... Ganges!" Huang Yi instantly recognized the phenonon as originating from Ganges.
Ganges was one of the world’s most renowned priests. In the previous annual celebration, he defeated another powerful priest, Pharaoh, and won the Best Priest Award.
Both Ganges and Pharaoh had elevated the priest class to unimaginable heights. Pharaoh had received partial inheritance from Johns, one of the Ten Great Deity Sealers! In contrast, Ganges was the world’s first player to possess a Second Class!
Among the invading legion this ti, the forces under Ganges’ command were the largest. He had once eradicated the Pope’s Heaven’s Church cathedral throughout the Ganges Continent, and the two harbored deep-seated grudges. In this national war, their rivalry seed to manifest. Just after the Pope initiated an attack, Ganges responded imdiately, unwilling to lag behind.
"Scree-ee~!" Shortly afterward, a piercing beastly roar sounded from the northern direction. The sound seed to penetrate one’s very soul, attempting to pull one’s spirit out, disturbing listeners even over great distances. It was unlike any beast cry in existence.
"A super-tier expert... Fuchan Fenrao!" Huang Yi thought of yet another legendary na!
Fuchan Fenrao was the leader of Indonesian players and the recipient of the Best Charisma Award in the previous Five Top Awards. Her profession was hunter. What made her most renowned was her peculiar and imnsely powerful Underworld War Beast!
The Underworld had always been a mysterious realm. Huang Yi still didn’t know its precise location. The only player he knew to have connections to the Underworld was Ni Dongde, who had previously approached him with cooperation plans. At the ti, Ni Dongde had been fishing for souls in Dragon City’s alleys with a fishing rod suspended in a void.
Such a roar could only have been uttered by Fuchan Fenrao’s Underworld Contract Partner. No other pet could replicate that sound; it was her defining characteristic.
"Not good! All eight super-tier experts are in action! Their offensive is too ferocious—we can’t hold them off. We’re retreating into Xuanyuan City to defend it alongside the Heavenly Domain Guardian. God of Slaughter, don’t co out—the battlefield is far too dangerous right now!" Suddenly, Huang Yi received an urgent ssage from Yun Sihai!
The enemy had launched their climactic assault! Even from this distant position, Huang Yi could feel the overwhelming quakes caused by the super-tier experts on the battlefield. This proved the gravity of the situation. Ordinary players stood no chance against super-tier experts.
"Then hurry back! I have a thod to break their onslaught, but it requires your personal presence! I’ll be waiting for you on the city wall at the South City Gate." Huang Yi promptly responded to Yun Sihai’s ssage, rushing toward Xuanyuan Town’s South City Gate.
At just above Level 100, Huang Yi knew he couldn’t take on the super-tier experts directly in combat; it was impossible. However, he had alternative plans to assist Xuanyuan Clan.
Huang Yi’s figure darted through the streets and alleys of Xuanyuan Town. The surrounding buildings blurred into streams of light in his vision as he sprinted forward.
Finally, he reached the South City Gate of Xuanyuan Town. The towering gate stood open, teeming with players busily coordinating operations. Hovering above the gate was the Heavenly Curtain Barrier. The enemy could not fly over it but had to enter through the gate itself.
Huang Yi swiftly ascended the city wall above the gate and peered toward the suburban area outside. His vision, far superior to ordinary players’, allowed him to keenly observe distant stretches, where a black line marked an advancing human tide surging from afar!
The scale of the battle was massive—a veritable at grinder. From this vantage point, the entire horizon was packed with players, making the scale of combat imasurable! Huang Yi’s Treasure-sniffing Ability sensed no fewer than 133 pieces of Legendary Equipnt within a radius of ten kiloters, showing the staggering number of elite fighters involved on both sides!
At the sight of the advancing crowd, the black line thickened further, growing ever larger. Countless individuals were rushing toward the city. Yun Sihai had already ordered everyone to retreat into the city for defense; the presence of super-tier experts ant total obliteration if they remained outside.
At this mont, Huang Yi sensed two players clad in six pieces of Legendary Equipnt each approaching rapidly within a kiloter’s range. They were clearly Yun Sihai and Lin Yiqin!
Soon enough, Huang Yi caught sight of Yun Sihai and Lin Yiqin’s familiar figures. Their swift movents far outpaced ordinary players, making them the fastest in retreat. Noticing Huang Yi atop the wall, the tension in their expressions eased slightly.
Monts later, they dashed through the city gate and ascended the city wall, arriving by Huang Yi’s side.
"God of Slaughter, thank you for coming to our aid at this critical hour!" Yun Sihai expressed his gratitude to Huang Yi and then got straight to the point: "You ntioned earlier you have a solution to defuse the crisis, but it requires us to be present. What is this thod?"
Instead of speaking, Huang Yi flipped his palm to reveal a golden scroll and handed it over.
The golden scroll was adorned with images of flying dragons and mythical beasts, possessing an aura akin to an Imperial Edict exuding regal dignity.
"What is this?" Lin Yiqin asked curiously as he quickly accepted the golden scroll from Huang Yi’s hand, opening it to examine its contents with Yun Sihai.
