445 Restrain
Baili Xuanyuan toyed with the Holy Light Grace Stone, which was emitting faint Holy Light rays, as a cruel look fell onto his face. Pairing the stone with a Priest would form a walking tombstone that was capable of guarding corpses and instant revival.
‘It’s indeed an invincible weapon, I wonder where did Codename Lone Wolf get it from.’
Since he had obtained the item, Baili Xuanyuan let the grand massacre begin.
“Go, don’t stop until everything is obliterated!” Those were the only words Baili Xuanyuan uttered. And those words encompassed all the humiliation that he had suffered for the past months and was filled with the satisfaction of revenge! Ever since The New Age began 6 months ago, it had been the most unforgettable 6 months of his life.
When he entered the game, he had planned to use his huge wealth to build a gigantic guild, which he would gain full control of, once his family wealth was brought into the game. However, all his plans had been disrupted by Baili Changcheng and the Brotherhood!
Baili Xuanyuan kept his composure and staged a comeback, making use of his position, gaps in company funds, as well as his calculating mind to create the slave-trading market. However, Lone Wolf had destroyed his trade once again and even made the City of Elves chase him away. He had spent a large sum of money to gain innocence again in order to participate in the City of Light’s battle.
He had spent a great deal of effort to obtain the Abyss Knight Job-Changing Token but ended up getting ambushed by Lone Wolf, and his token had exploded. After which, he went through much trouble to change his job to a Red Lotus Knight and planned to assert his dominance at the Final Tournament. Instead, he had met Lone Wolf, his arch-nemesis, who had ruined the match completely. Instead of flaunting his prowess, he had ended up getting publicly humiliated.
All the past vengeance and hatred had accumulated over time, and Baili Xuanyuan could only recall a line: Forgotten as the past because history will last.
However, he had returned as a champion!
Furthermore, with the Holy Light Grace stone in hands, he could kill whoever he wanted!
‘It’s the Three Alliances’ time to conquer the world! Let these people be the stepping stones for them to mount the high horse.’
ROAR—
Roars filled the sky! The thousands of players in the map wielded their weapons and bolted forward. The sky was tainted crimson, and the grand massacre commenced!
“Go!”
At that moment, Lin Jie bellowed as he propped up Dark Chaotic Hole valiantly as Broken Blade let out a loud screech. The gigantic hole tanked all the attacks, and it was impenetrable by Baili Xuanyuan unless he could use 1000 points to unleash Red Lotus Purification again.
The reason why Lin Jie had agreed to Baili Xuanyuan’s condition was to keep him under control so as to look for an opportunity to send everyone away safely. Hence, he had accepted the bet even though he knew there was no chance of winning.
Dark Chaotic Hole engulfed Dumb Fox, Inksnow, Bu Yi, Baili Changcheng, and the rest up as they tore open their random teleportation scrolls.
The reason why Lin Jie had patted their shoulders previously was to pass the scrolls to them.
These random teleportation scrolls were the ‘enhanced’ random scrolls that Eighteen Massacres had taken out when they had been at the Mesosaprobic Shrine. It served its purpose well today to let everyone vanish. As long as they flew to a safe spot, they would be able to catch their breath and get back to the city.
Whoosh—
As the Dark Chaotic Hole disappeared, Lin Jie had finished chanting his random teleportation scroll, and his body began fading.
However, the Dark Face Prince’s curse struck again, and Lin Jie appeared 5 steps away in the next moment! What rotten luck did he have to possess for him to teleport 5 steps away in the middle of a besiegement? Lin Jie’s body shook as he locked eyes with Baili Xuanyuan.
“Hehe…” Baili Xuanyuan grinned widely as his Half Moon Red Lotus Sword pierced towards Lin Jie’s head!
“Army of the Dead!”
A green luster began emitting from the eyes of the skeleton necklace that hung from Lin Jie’s neck. Its mouth trembled and crackled as a white-furred Flesh Eater Ghost with bulging front teeth bore out.
The Flesh Eater Ghost had weak attributes and was foul-looking. Anyone would have avoided it based on their instinct when something that looked so horrific appeared before their eyes as their grit was still lacking.
As expected, Baili Xuanyuan took a step back, and his Half Moon Red Lotus Sword chopped onto the ghost’s head. It exploded with a bang just like a balloon filled with air, and green gooey corpse liquid spewed out. The disgusting and slimy fluid was too much for the high-fed Baili Xuanyuan to bear as he proceeded to vomit. He then realized that his attacking speed and movement speed were greatly reduced.
At the same time, countless Flesh Eater Ghosts, which were atop the mountains, began crawling! There were tons of corpses, due to the great massacre previously. Under the summon of Army of the Dead, innumerable ghosts broke through the corpses and launched fearlessly at the players despite their trashy stats. Any attack would result in them bursting into green goo that would ooze onto the players.
That was why it was divine equipment! Other than its powerful AOE effect, the key was that the Flesh Eater Ghosts were too disgusting! Although they could only inflict minimal damage, they would cause major psychological trauma. In actual fact, it would take players around 3 years to get used to the variety of horrific and gross creatures in The New Age. Hence, skills with scare factors were still very effective within that time period.
“F*ck, its head exploded.”
“Ugh!”
Countless Three Alliances players were overwhelmed by the thick and gooey corpse fluid after they slew the ghosts. Some even went offline straight away! These things were too disgusting!
Lin Jie’s sword vibrated as it unleashed Dragon’s Roar and instakilled the dozens Flesh Eater Ghosts that were surrounding him. The resulting corpse fluid obscured the sky, and Lin Jie used Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner to slash them in the direction of Baili Xuanyuan. He was going to make the latter sick to the stomach!
Baili Xuanyuan was drenched in the green mess from head to toe, and he could barely open his eyes.
“Ah, ah! Ugh! Get this damned stuff off me!” Baili Xuanyuan was helpless as he bellowed, “Ice Mage! Ice Mage!”
Numerous Ice Mages and Frost Sword Artists soared towards him and begun casting frost spells, followed by getting the Fire Sword Artists to melt and clean Baili Xuanyuan up completely.
“Boss, all done, all done.”
Baili Xuanyuan finally opened his eyes as he took in his surrounding mess, as well as the lackey that had cleaned him up but was currently covered in goo. He slapped him away instinctively but couldn’t contain his vomiting urge the next moment. He scored the land around him, and Lone Wolf could no longer be found.
Lin Jie had consumed a Middle-Grade Stealth Potion and escaped amidst the chaos. Otherwise, what other better timing would he have?
Character Z was surprisingly calm as he came out and asked, “Xuanyuan, your plan of killing Lone Wolf seems to have failed.”
If one were to take a good look, they would notice that there seemed to be a fourth whirlwind on his Dark Gold rapier. He was indeed worthy of being a Sword Master as he had managed to obtain his fourth whirlwind by taking advantage of this battle.
“No worries, ugh—” Baili Xuanyuan was pale. He waved his hands and said, “I have confirmed that his abilities are far from mine. With my Red Lotus Knight’s powers and the Three Alliances’s fundings, the Brotherhood will not survive for long! Let’s go back and begin the Brotherhood wipe-out missions. I have already bought over the towns and villages surrounding the City of Light, and their sentiments are all 100%. We will be able to capture the City of Light with ease once we attack. That’s the most important part.”
“City siege? So you are still harping on that.”
“City of Light is the most advanced city in all of The New Age. Once we capture it, we can take over the Sky Provisions Shop by controlling the City of Light Central Auction House’s tax rate. The city siege is a must.”
Character Z’s eyes shone as he said, “Be careful of Lone Wolf, he might be back to ruin your plan again. After this fight, he will definitely level up.”
“Hah? Level up? He is incapable of that, Lone Wolf has already reached his bottleneck. If it could be easily overcome, it would not be called a bottleneck. Let’s go, we will go to the City of Light to begin our wipe-out!”
………
The City of Light, Sakura’s Pub.
Sakura’s huge eyes blinked as she swayed her chubby legs. She asked in confusion, “Ah? The room is closed? Why?”
Lin Jie and Baili Changcheng glanced at each other and said seriously, “To prevent it from being stolen by others. This room is able to speed up the proficiency-gaining speed, and there only exists one such room in the entire game. Do you understand? So, this information cannot be leaked out. I am leaving for quite some time, before I return, treat it as if it doesn’t exist.”
Baili Changcheng agreed and said, “That summarizes it up well, Sakura, just follow what he says.”
“Alright, I understand. I will take my leave first.” Sakura nodded her head, obediently.
As Sakura left, the remaining Savage Blade team members questioned impatiently, “What on earth happened? You are going into isolation? You were only ambushed by Baili Xuanyuan once, will our comrades be afraid of getting revenge for you?”
Lin Jie said solemnly, “Do not panic and listen to what I have to say. Baili Xuanyuan’s new job, Red Lotus Knight, possesses terrifying power, much more than me! Furthermore, Twilight Transmigration has joined the Three Alliances, I even spotted some of the top few guilds from Sunshine City and City of Elves as well.
“Our Brotherhood has advanced too rapidly recently and has become the common target for all. There isn’t any guild that wishes to expose their strength in front of others. Thus, getting rid of us will be definite. I have overestimated our strengths and our subordinates’ loyalty. Take a look at this.”
Lin Jie waved, and a picture appeared. It was one of the Brotherhood’s missions.
[Rest Day!]: Employment mission. Every player is prohibited from accepting any missions within 3 hours and cannot provide any battle aid to the Brotherhood. Once the 3 hours are up, the 10 gold coins reward can be exchanged with video proof.
“This!” Zheng Ziliang ground his teeth. “They are using money to make our men betray us? What the f*ck, I am going to throw two million at—”
“No, this isn’t the main point, Ziliang.” Lin Jie gestured for him to calm down. “I have already investigated. 68% of our members have accepted this mission. In other words, there were 32% of players that are willing to come to our aid and forsake the 10 gold coins. However, they are being blocked by Three Alliances outside, and some of them were even killed. These people are the elites of the Brotherhood. Currently, Brotherhood is in the midst of evolving, I have to make the right decision.”
Baili Changcheng frowned. “What countermeasure are you going to make? Are you going to build a guild?”
“No, I will not form a guild as it is too burdensome for me.” Lin Jie’s eyes shone brightly. “I am going to create a guild within the organization. This new guild will be made up of members that have been specifically chosen from the Brotherhood. All of them must be extremely loyal and must be strong solo players with no beef with other guilds. I want these people to take pride in joining the new guilds, and from now onwards, the Brotherhood will be split into two: External, which consists of the large-scale mercenary team, and the Internal, who will be our private soldiers!”
