Chapter 1426: Chapter 1426: Reversal

“If you don’t drink a toast, you must drink a penalty.”

Both Deputy Chiefs clenched the scrolls, which appeared in their hands at some unknown time, and their bodies were engulfed by a thick shield.

The two Deputy Chiefs locked onto Li Yao simultaneously and charged toward Li Yao like lightning.

“Idiot, been waiting for you.”

The moment the left Deputy Chief made a move, Tianxiang threw her umbrella, spinning and sending countless petals swirling.

Countless sparks splattered; while the Deputy Chief momentarily blocked Tianxiang’s attack, he was bound by it.

“Seeking death, you cur.”

Mu Zi disappeared, and a chain of washbasin-sized fireballs fell from the sky.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom…

Mu Zi spent a third of her magic, and more than a dozen fireballs continuously bombarded the Deputy Chief’s shield; after five fireballs, the shield formed by the scrolls shattered under the assault of petals and fireballs, and before all the fireballs hit, the Deputy Chief was directly blasted into char.

The other Deputy Chief, a rogue, teleported directly behind Li Yao, but before his dagger could land on the back of Li Yao’s head, the tail of the Hell Battle Scorpion swept the rogue away.

The rogue, while still in the air, tried to adjust his stance when a wicked shadow of a whip flashed in Yanhua’s eyes.

A phantom tentacle formed as a whip harshly lashed the rogue’s soul, eliciting a scream, and the skill he was about to release was instantly interrupted.

Meanwhile, the tail of the Hell Battle Scorpion clamped the rogue and, with a surge of force, violently smashed him into the ground. The rogue was directly pounded underground, his soul dissolving into a white light and vanishing.

Simultaneously, Yaoji was also in danger; as the two Deputy Chiefs made their move, several attacks targeted Yaoji.

Yaoji phased into Taiji, and as the attacks hit her, she immediately entered stealth mode.

“She wants to run back into Starfire’s ranks; use area spells to blast her out.”

A barrier was formed by blizzards and Meteor Rain.

But they miscalculated Yaoji’s courage; from the beginning, she had no intention of running away.

The instant she entered stealth and was teleported, she locked onto a target.

She immediately used an ability to switch positions, followed by a Shadow Step in a moment of hesitation, a slit throat, and a Skyrocket Kick to send a Magician flying into the sky, followed by webs and Booming Sky Thunder.

This sequence of moves was seamless and almost instantaneous, made even more aesthetically pleasing due to her excellent figure.

Swish, swish, swish…

This guild was full of experts; as Yaoji appeared, she was met with a barrage of attacks.

Yet, Yaoji was too fast. After completing her moves, Yaoji had disappeared, with all attacks landing on her afterimage, and only when the afterimage shredded did they realize it was Yaoji’s illusion.

Yaoji had vanished, while the opponent’s Priest quickly attempted healing on the Magician.

However, it was not until the healing reached the Magician that they realized the Magician was already dead, his soul white light already ascending.

Turned out, at the moment Yaoji slit the throat, she had killed the Magician. Normally, Yaoji’s attack strength wouldn’t easily kill a Magician; it was only because of the heaven-defying dagger she obtained that she managed to inflict such a deadly blow.

Boom…

As the Booming Sky Thunder blasted the Magician’s body into pieces, they finally realized that the whole point of the seductress’s attack was to shred the Magician’s body, preventing them from using the Resurrection Technique.

Normally, once a player died, their corpse couldn’t be mutilated, but a seamless combo of uninterrupted attacks could inflict severe damage to a corpse after killing the opponent.

“Damn it, how did that bitch get back to their team?”

Some players looking towards the Starfire formation only then noticed that the seductress had somehow returned to the Hell Battle Scorpion as if she had never left its back.

“It must be that bitch’s Divine Artifact dagger effect, damn it.”

The two guild leaders’ complexions darkened to the extreme; their deputy guild leaders had been executed by Starfire, the beheading mission failed, but the seductress had succeeded and withdrawn unscathed.

“Air force, take to the skies.”

Annoyed and enraged, the two summoned a flock of one thousand crows that flapped into the sky with loud cries, flying towards the outpost.

The seductress said, “After my observation, the Magician I just killed was the War Commander of the two guilds. He was quite skilled. Though killing him won’t completely crumble the opponent, it will reduce their ability to respond flexibly.”

“Hmm, very well. Wipe them out.”

At Li Yao’s command, the Starfire troops charged towards the two guilds’ United Army, and up in the sky, the Steel Gryphons and the enemy’s crow Legion clashed fiercely.

The United Army of the two guilds was also spirited; in their eyes, Starfire’s seemingly fierce attack was just a bluff. With their absolute numerical superiority, victory was certain.

As the battle raged on, the Starfire’s numbers continued to dwindle, much to their excitement, and the enemy’s Steel Golems successfully contained the frenzied rushes of the Devil Tyrannosaurs.

“The myth of Starfire ends here. So much for their invincibility. Hahaha.”

Despite their own heavy losses, they viewed it as a temporary setback. Once the enemy’s Steel roaches were mostly slaughtered and their defense line broken, Starfire’s damage dealers would be at their mercy.

Mu Zi continuously planted a variety of totems. Hearing the opposing side, he cheerfully said in the public channel, “Well, why don’t you take a look at what’s behind you?”

The two guild leaders were startled, they turned around abruptly, and their faces instantly turned ashen at what they saw.

Behind their formation, a large number of roaches and some damage-dealing Legions were emerging from underground.

And then they started to attack them from behind.

The situation for them was actually quite awkward; those fighting Starfire inside the outpost and some on the city walls, while the reinforcements were still rushing in through the city walls and gates to engage Starfire.

This was essentially an advantage – a unilateral onslaught not only centralized their defensive formation but also consolidated their attack.

The greatest benefit was focusing their strength, so as not to let Starfire’s formidable Legion break through their formation, which would lead to a disastrous defeat.

But what they had never expected was that Starfire’s reported loss of over ten thousand troops after wiping out the Busan guild was all fake. The two deputy guild leaders even saw the insect corpses that should have been lying on the ground all got up and joined the formation attacking them from the rear.

They hardly had any front-liners at the rear to face the assault by Starfire’s over ten thousand troops; in just a few minutes, their lines collapsed.

In fact, Starfire’s army was still outnumbered, but the quality of Starfire’s troops was far superior.

Reliant on their strategies and formation arrangement, with their advantage in numbers, they were able to maintain a back-and-forth battle against Starfire at the original confrontation line.

But Starfire played the game unconventionally–it was all an act.

“Starfire is cunning and malicious.”

The two guild leaders saw the situation at the rear and had ashen faces filled with despair, while those on the city walls and behind were also filled with grief and rage, blood boiling with nowhere to run, now bereft even of the chance to flee the battlefield…
