The horse finally could not hold on any longer and collapsed onto the ground.
As Yi Tianchen emerged from the carriage, he saw a large pool of fresh blood flowing out from beneath the horse, soaking into the ground like countless thin streams, spreading freely and transforming into a blooming flower, exuding a strange beauty, a breathtaking beauty!
Ahead was a squad of Heavy Armored Soldiers, holding spears in their right hands and shields in their left, forming an iron wall that watched Yi Tianchen with hawk-like intensity. Not far from the Heavy Armored Soldiers, aside from some ordinary soldiers, there were many players clearly aiming for the bounty of ten thousand gold coins and the Dragon's Roar.
Kneeling on one knee, gently stroking the moaning horse, Yi Tianchen could not help but tremble all over, as if what lay fallen was not merely a horse, but a comrade from years of Conquest. Unable to suppress it any longer, he let out a roar towards Eternal, as if to release the endless fury within him.
“Clang!”
Dragon's Roar fell heavily, its tip striking the solid ground and creating a pit. The semi-transparent blade shimmered with swirling cold air under the sunlight, reflecting a dazzling light that suddenly shot out a blinding golden gleam.
Blade Break Slash Lv-2!
Soaring upwards, Yi Tianchen had only one thought in his mind: to storm into the general's mansion and demand a reasonable explanation from Lord Dolan!
“Clang…”
Sparks flew as these Heavy Armored Soldiers, clad in heavy armor as thick as steel plates, stood firm. However, Yi Tianchen was mentally prepared for this; he did not intend to kill them but merely to push them aside with overwhelming force to clear a path into the general's mansion.
At the same time, behind him, Proud Dragon had already unleashed a group attack, with dozens of arrows raining down like raindrops. They struck against the Heavy Armored Soldiers, creating countless sparks. Although the damage was not very high, it proved effective in this battle focused on drawing fire.
Meanwhile, The Terminator of Regrets moved in directly, wielding a dagger that seemed more powerful than ever before. Wherever he went, he stabbed fiercely at the heavy armor of the Heavy Armored Soldiers, creating noticeable sparks but ultimately aiming for the tiny gaps between their helmets and armor.
Straight for the throat!
The lowest level Hero Does Not Question Origin was also displaying extreme fervor at this moment. With his Steel Blade, he slashed horizontally and vertically with loud clangs, using his high strength growth advantage to charge through the approaching Heavy Armored Soldiers like a bull.
“Fallen Wood Boss, now's your chance!”
Hero Does Not Question Origin shouted as he knocked aside two blocking Heavy Armored Soldiers, slashing left and right to forcibly clear several soldiers blocking the entrance to the general's mansion. He shouted, “Damn it! Let me show you my power!”
“Don't force it!”
Yi Tianchen cautioned, but he himself was acting recklessly. Seeing the path open up, he swung his sword fiercely to push back an approaching Heavy Armored Soldier. With his skill activated, he immediately transformed into a Phantom, darting through the narrow gap between the Heavy Armored Soldiers like lightning.
Savage Charge Lv-2!
Successfully breaking into the General's Mansion, Yi Tianchen turned back to see Hero Does Not Question Origin kneeling at the entrance, two long spears piercing through his chest and out his back. His hands clutched tightly onto four other spears, using his body to block the doorway.
"Damn it!"
Yi Tianchen froze for a moment, gripping Dragon's Roar tighter as he looked at the Heavy Armored Soldiers. Alongside his boundless fighting spirit, a hint of hatred flickered in his gaze.
"Quick, capture him!"
Soon, a group of Heavy Armored Soldiers pried Hero Does Not Question Origin away and continued their heavy-footed pursuit, shaking the very ground beneath them.
Gritting his teeth in pain, Yi Tianchen turned coldly, dragging Dragon's Roar as he dashed forward, unleashing skill after skill. With constant potion replenishments and after a fierce battle, he managed to force his way into the inner courtyard of the General's Mansion.
However, despite Yi Tianchen barely entering the inner courtyard, he found it impossible to advance any further. Before him stood a vast array of fully armed Heavy Armored Soldiers, like a solid wall of copper and iron that was not easily breached.
It was clear that this was a fight to the death!
Yi Tianchen understood well what the final outcome would be. But from the moment he decided to return, he had already prepared himself for the worst. Having come this far, how could he retreat without a fight?
"Die!"
With a cold shout, Yi Tianchen charged forward...
Undead Armor Lv-1! Death Roar Lv-1! Necromantic Binding Lv-2! Blade Break Slash Lv-2! Death Entanglement Lv-2! Hell Combo Lv-2!
One skill after another burst forth with the brilliance of death, infused with Yi Tianchen's raging anger. The formidable lethality of Dragon's Roar was displayed to its fullest; each flash of sword light and each splash of blood marked a perfect conclusion!
But...
As the ancient saying goes, one fist cannot contend against many hands. This saying held true. While Yi Tianchen was indeed valiant with his level 55 physique and the dominance of Dragon's Roar, facing off against three or four dozen fully armed Heavy Armored Soldiers was an entirely different matter!
"Thud..."
The sound of a weapon tearing through flesh suddenly rang out. Yi Tianchen looked down to see a spear piercing through his back and emerging from his chest. With a triple critical hit, his Health Points were instantly depleted, and everything before him faded into a grayish white, accompanied by severe losses.
"Ding!"
System Notification: Health Points have reached zero; you are dead. Due to being under Server-wide bounty, additional losses are calculated under Bounty Status: Character Level reset to zero; lost items: Dragon's Roar ×1, Guardian Heart ×1, Slaughter Wrist Guard ×1, Dark Ring ×1...
"Boom..."
It struck like a bolt of lightning, hitting the deepest part of his heart. Yi Tianchen was bewildered; this heavy loss had seemed like just a few words before it arrived, but when it truly came, he realized that his calm demeanor could not bear the weight.
Fortunately, dying in the city was different from dying in the wild. In the wild, a player's soul would be released at the nearest graveyard, while in the city, the soul would only be released around the corpse, allowing for an immediate resurrection. However, Yi Tianchen unexpectedly heard a "ding" sound---
System Notification: You cannot resurrect at your current location. Your character data has been modified, and you will be forcibly logged out in thirty seconds!
