Chapter 202: The Strongest! The Strongest!
At that moment, Hu He, who was on the verge of clearing his name, was turned into public enemy number one once again.
Hu He was so desperate that he would die for a chance to explain himself, yet he could not think of anything to say. All he could do was look around him pitifully.
The players did not give him a second chance at all this round. They proceeded to activate their hostile mode and encircled him.
“My dear brothers, this is the time for us to unite and fight the intruders, you can’t kill me!” Hu He cried while pulling a long face.
“I’m afraid that we would still have uncertainties if you were to stay. You’re the biggest enemy of all!”
“I won’t be at ease without killing you, so you must die!”
“Go to hell, you malignant player. From today onward, we’ll be enemies for life!”
…
Amidst the shoutings of the crossed players, a wave of despair washed over Hu He. After being slashed with multiple swords, he morphed into a puff of black smoke and logged out of the game.
Back in the outside world.
Hu He’s gaming pod slowly opened, yet he did not get out. He remained lying in his pod, weeping quietly.
It was as if fate was playing games with him. Just as he was about to clear his name, he was stabbed brutally in the back while twisting him around like a finger puppet.
It was just like a backstabbing truth that would appear behind him anytime; it was utterly despairing!
Does my future only hold darkness?
He rolled himself into a ball and sobbed.
…
Beiqi, at the border of the Mansion of the Dead.
The battle switched sides again due to Mu Zhiguang’s appearance.
The players’ respawning advantage was offset by the undead army they had. Currently, the players’ factions have yet to overpower the Sea King Navy’s strength, so the arrival of the zombie soldiers made the battle more arduous for them.
Seeing Mu Zhiguang in action, the Sea King burst into laughter because he knew there was no longer any doubt about the outcome of this battle. The Sea King Navy will be victorious!
From what the Sea King remembered, Mu Zhiguang once fought the Death Clan all on his own. He had the strength of an army and this gave the Sea King great confidence.
“Soldiers, kill! Let’s take Beiqi down today!” the Sea King who initially gave the order to retreat once again called out for the soldiers to keep on fighting.
Upon seeing such a sight, the Rock Ghost King and the Hydra King’s hearts hammered hard against their chests. They thought they were only up against the Sea King Navy in this battle. However in this round, a Ghost Emperor Realm Elite had appeared unexpectedly.
This deflated their high spirits that they had brought with them to battle.
This was because they knew that there was no way they could ever defeat a Ghost Emperor Realm Elite. They were destined to lose the battle the moment Mu Zhiguang arrived.
As he looked at Beiqi’s combined forces at the mercy of the Sea King Navy and the zombies, the Rock Ghost King put on a melancholic smile.
History is indeed the best verification. No one can stay at the top forever. Someday I will meet my end as well. Little did I know that day would come so soon.
“Old buddy, let’s battle till the end! Even if we die, we will die fighting!” said the weakened Hydra King as he turned to look at him.
“This is our last fight! Let’s make it a great one!” the Rock Ghost King hollered to the sky in reply and the veins that were tangling around him danced like crazy.
Just when the two great Ghost Kings thought that there was no turning back from the battle, an ancient war song rang from far away.
“Thump! Thump! Thump!”
It was a mixture of heavy footsteps, drawn out melodies, and rhythmic sounds of weapons knocking on shields.
An earthy yellow army marched slowly from the west.
“What should be done to the ones who sullied His Majesty’s pride?” Lie Shan, who was walking in the front, shouted at the top of his lungs.
“Kill!” the warriors of the Earth Breaking Clan growled in unison.
“How about the ones who invaded our Land of Beiqi!?”
“Kill!”
“The enemy is standing right before us, let us obey His Majesty’s orders and chase the intruders away!”
“Roar!” all the warriors from the Earth Breaking Clan yelled in excitement.
“Go, my children. Prove your loyalty to His Majesty!”
After Lie Shan said this, the Earth Breaking Clan’s warriors started to run. They picked up their speed, and like a yellowish sandstorm, they charged murderously into the battlefield!
“The Ancient Earth Breaking Clan!” the pupils of the high-flying Mu Zhiguang shrunk.
From afar, the Sea King, the Rock Ghost King, and the others were all astounded.
This clan which had never shown themselves to the world before had actually appeared at that very moment.
…
Three hours ago, at the Earth Breaking Clan’s base.
Sun Qi the dog, who had just rushed back from the Cliffs of Desperation, handed the expired Beiqi Royal Decree he received from deceiving the white-haired man to Gu Yu.
This was the reason why Gu Yu had asked him to visit the cliffs.
When he saw that the players were having the lower hand through the live stream, Gu Yu knew that even if he had interfered, he would not be able to save them. Thus, he thought of lending the strength of the Earth Breaking Clan.
To the Earth Breaking Clan, the King of Beiqi had never left them. Although Gu Yu and Sun Qi knew that the decree had long expired, it still proved useful to the Earth Breaking Clan.
When Gu Yu took out the decree, even Lie Shan, the Ghost Emperor Realm Elite, got down on his knees before it.
Gu Yu had borrowed the supremacy of the Beiqi Royal Decree, expressing that by the order of the King of Beiqi, he was required to bring in the Earth Breaking Clan to join the battle to protect the Land of Beiqi.
The Beiqi Royal Decree was unique to the King of Beiqi, so Lie Shan did not suspect Gu Yu. He obeyed the order right away and hurriedly maneuvered his Earth Breaking Clan to take part.
…
The Ancient Earth Breaking Clan. Even their name could put fear in the mightiest elites. The strength they portrayed could even send shivers down the Sea King’s spine.
The sky was covered in yellow dust as rock giants emerged one after the other on the battlefield. Each of them had combat powers that were almost on par with a Ghost Commander’s, and most of the people from the clan had the strength of a Ghost General Level. Also, the amount of people among them who had achieved the battling power of a Ghost King Level was a terrifying number of eight.
Once this monstrous ancient army appeared on the battlefield, the tides seemed to have completely turned again.
No matter how resilient the undead army was, they would only be torn to pieces when going against the strongest of the strong.
Gu Yu cackled when he saw the scene unfold before him. Sun Qi was hopping in excitement next to him.
In the sky, Mu Zhiguang’s expression darkened. He clenched his teeth and transformed into a black flow of light, falling from the sky. He wanted to dash toward the Earth Breaking Clan, but before he could even touch the ground, he was blocked by someone.
“Boom!”
Two silhouettes fell backward at the same time!
After catching his balance, Mu Zhiguang glared at Lie Shan coldly.
“Piss off, you’re not my enemy!”
“Hahaha, you sure think highly of yourself. You’re just a clansman from the Mu Te Sea Nation, how dare you invade the Land of Beiqi! Did you really forget how your clan’s king was defeated by the King of Beiqi?” Lie Shan looked at Mu Zhiguang with a jeering expression.
Hearing this, Mu Zhiguang’s eyes became colder and colder. He transformed into the black light again and struck at Lie Shan.
“Earth!” as Lie Shan yelled furiously, the earth below his feet began to crack and a muddy-yellowish energy was drawn up continuously from the earth.
Boom!
The earth where Lie Shan and Mu Zhiguang collided sank instantly. All the players and the Sea King Navy around them were flung away and shredded into dust.
“Impossible! How could you have such strength!?” after fighting hand-to-hand, Mu Zhiguang turned back, his face full of terror.
This was because Lie Shan’s strength was evenly matched to him. From his standpoint, this was impossible, since he himself was a Ghost Emperor Realm Elite!
“Haven’t you heard? In ancient Beiqi, every competitor of the King of Beiqi had the strength of a Ghost Emperor Peak Realm! And I am one of them!” Lie Shan slowly raised his head after sustaining the heavy impact. He stared at Mu Zhiguang, a smile forming on his lips.
“Every single one of them are Ghost Emperors Peak Realms!?” Mu Zhiguang was horrified, he thought he had heard wrongly.
“Since His Majesty has ordered me to fight, the seal shall be broken!” Lie Shan hammered his arms onto the ground as he spoke.
The cracks were like spiderwebs spreading all across the earth as large amounts of muddy-yellowish energy flooded into Lie Shan’s body.
Crack!
A silvery sound rang as Lie Shan held out his arms with a face full of contentment, “Oh, how I miss this strength!”
“I’ll make you take back your words this instant, you are no match for me!”
Mu Zhiguang’s face turned gloomy upon hearing this. His hand grasped below him and uncountable black lines of energy shot in Lie Shan’s direction.
Each of these lines carried a strong sense of death. Even when the earth came into contact with them, black holes were formed from the corrosion.
Soon, Death Threads tangled around Lie Shan, restricting him in place.
The corrosive energy began to seep into Lie Shan’s body.
However, Lie Shan did not move an inch. He proceeded to raise his right foot and stomped it down hard. All of a sudden, he extended his arms out, snapping the twines of death.
After glancing at Mu Zhiguang, Lie Shan stomped his foot again, shaking and wobbling the earth.
“You’ve used one of your chances, you have two left. Unleash your strongest technique!”
Lie Shan’s provocative words successfully enraged Mu Zhiguang to his core. On his forehead, a Death Halo engraved with runes was formed. Then, this halo enlarged ferociously, dashed toward Lie Shan, and finally stopped before floating above his head.
Boom!
A black energy pole surrounded by black lightning streaks struck Lie Shan from above.
The death energy poured out by this black halo was so lethal that other players and creatures who touched its remnant waves would disintegrate into dust in mere seconds.
Under the impact of such energy, worried expressions started to show on the players’ faces.
Although they had never met the Earth Breaking Clan, they were still their comrades because they had taken part in the battle. Naturally, they would hope for them to be victorious.
After a minute of blasting by the destructive death rays, the halo shrunk gradually and flew back to Mu Zhiguang’s forehead.
When the smoke dissipated, the people noticed that a bottomless hole had formed in the earth. Lie Shan was nowhere to be found. No one knew if he had fallen into the hole or had turned into dust.
Just as the crowd was still making up theories, a silhouette levitated from the hole and landed by one side.
As he dusted away the debris that covered him, Lie Shan looked up with a smile again.
“Not bad this time, but if you truly want to inflict injuries on me, try a little harder!”
Who on earth is this monster!?
It was not only Mu Zhiguang that stood stupefied, but the Sea King, the Rock Ghost King, and the others were all stunned, too.
Everyone, including the Sea King, thought they could not hold on for long when the death ray shone. However, not only did the leader of the Earth Breaking Clan sustain all damages, he was not injured one bit. This left everyone feeling appalled.
“How did you do that?” Mu Zhiguang asked coldly.
“The Earth Breaking Clan are the best at defense. If you’ve never heard this before, you might want to ask your ancestors from the Mu Te Sea Nation, perhaps in return, they’ll tell you… not to mess with me!”
After he had said those final five words, Lie Shan stomped the ground fiercely once again. The land quaked horribly and both armies who were fighting toppled to the ground.
“I know, I know who he is… he is the Rock! He’s the man who was given the name ‘Rock’!” the Rock Ghost King began to cry out in alarm.
“What do you mean, aren’t you the Rock?” the Hydra King turned and looked at him, flabbergasted.
“That’s because my territory is on the rocks, so I’m called the Rock Ghost King. I’ve once read the history of the North Rocks on an inscription located in the depths of the North Rocks. The origin of this name had relations to the largest forces that had entrenched themselves in the northern area. This was because the strongest king of the force was given the name ‘Invincible Rock’ in the outside world. Perhaps that person is him!”
As if Lie Shan heard all that the Rock Ghost King had said, he turned to him and grinned.
“Junior, you’re absolutely right. The North Rocks were named after me!”
Seeing the astonished eyes of the crowd, Lie Shan looked at Mu Zhiguang again.
“If I take action this instant, you’ll be left with no more chances… so last chance, show me the best you can!”
Looking at the grave expression on Mu Zhiguang’s face, Lie Shan slowly crossed his arms over his head. He was in a defensive position.
Just as everyone held their breaths to see if Mu Zhiguang’s last move could inflict damage on Lie Shan, a silhouette suddenly appeared behind Lie Shan. With a tight slap across his face, Lie Shan fell to the floor.
Lie Shan was taken aback. He snapped his head back, only to see more slaps coming.
Whack! Whack! Whack!
“The strongest! The strongest! Watch as I kill you myself, the strongest!”
“Your Majesty, why are you hitting me, please stop!” Lie Shan rolled on the ground while covering his head.
“You still don’t know where you went wrong? If I don’t teach you a good lesson today, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life!” the more he thought about it, the more furious the white-haired man became. He rolled up his sleeves and started to punch and kick Lie Shan on the ground.
The scene that had unfolded before everyone’s eyes left them stunned. The two armies had even forgotten that they had a battle to fight. They all stared at Lie Shan who was magnificent and boasty just a second before, but was now crouching like a child getting smacked.
