Chapter 204 The Battle Among the Elites

“The bunch of trash from the Heiyan Guild can’t even defeat a priest. Seems like you’re that so-called Master Healer who’s first on both the ranking and the artifact leaderboard. I heard that the only two artifacts in the server are with you.”

Emperor Dao licked his lips and his gaze shone the light of greed. A series of continuous knife movements came hurling towards Xiaofeng.

Xiaofeng kept on retreating and avoiding the attacks. It looked dangerous, but he was untouched and unharmed. Suddenly, the Golden Bull Totem in his hand shone and started sucking in the air behind him violently.

That was a skill of the Golden Bull Totem that was as powerful as a bull. It could cause 180% damage to one’s body. Usually, Xiaofeng would be able to eliminate the other person within a second. It had been a very long time since he last used that skill.

At the moment when he pulled it out, the effect was seen immediately.

There was no one behind him but suddenly, a small black shadow appeared with a slightly-shocked gaze. The person crossed his arms in front of his chest while holding onto two short thorns, blocking the Golden Bull Totem.

“Block!”

The assassin’s success of blocking would not be any higher than a mage’s, but this Toyo Zone assassin by the name of Senbon Zakura had an unusual capability. That was evident from his place on the Treasure Island Raid Leaderboard.

The power of the bull had then been blocked, but even so, Senbon Zakura still received the shock and his small figure was sent somersaulting in the air before being flung far away.

Xiaofeng did not just let them go. After pushing away Senbon Zakura, the Golden Bull Totem and the Giant Golden Hammer gathered again and that time, he hurled them backwards at Emperor Dao.

‘Dong!’

Emperor Dao took a leap back suddenly and still managed to avoid the hammer. He then placed the knife at his waist and held onto the blade with his left hand. He looked at Xiaofeng emotionlessly.

“You’re very strong, but you’re just a priest. Your profession is your biggest obstacle. Knife Slash!”

Once he finished speaking, he took out his knife at an alarmingly fast speed and charged towards Xiaofeng. The wind from the knife went over Xiaofeng like a wave of attacks spreading out.

“-89!”

Immediately, the damage indicator appeared above Xiaofeng’s head. His Health Points decreased by 10% right away.

“Your ATK is not bad,” said Xiaofeng casually as he lifted his head to look at the damage indicator. He then started to initiate an attack. Holding the mace-like Golden Bull Totem, he dashed towards Emperor Dao.

“You added BUFF for yourself?” Emperor Dao was obviously shocked at his injury, but he understood what was going on very quickly. Facing Xiaofeng’s proactive attack, he did not dodge. He too, held onto his knife.

Xiaofeng’s one and only combat skill was to take advantage of his terrifying ATK to carry out infighting. Under Xiaofeng’s fatal attack, as long as he could hit the critical shot at once, he would be able to eliminate him immediately. Hence, he could only bring it on with Emperor Dao.

However, Emperor Dao’s infighting skill was very strong. His knife was already being waved to the point of producing a shadow. He had already practiced the basic skill of a warrior, the two-strike attack, until it became a three-strike attack. He basically made three slashes in an instant. Furthermore, each knife he held was extremely sharp.

One slash was used to block Xiaofeng’s ordinary attack by slashing the Golden Bull Totem, followed by another two knives that made a cross-attack. It all happened to Xiaofeng at the same time.

However, two pitiful damage indicators appeared above Xiaofeng’s head. Xiaofeng’s long health bar also made Emperor Dao frown.

That was his first time fighting a priest. He would never have imagined it to be so difficult. Emperor Dao was certain that priests had the skill to replenish blood. That was the first time that he felt the difficulty of defeating that auxiliary profession.

Suddenly, the well-prepared Senbon Zakura appeared all of a sudden, specifically when Xiaofeng and Emperor Dao were still entangled in a fight. He appeared behind Xiaofeng instantly and slammed across the back of his head.

Xiaofeng’s body stopped moving instantly and he was frozen on the spot.

“Haha, beautifully done!”

Emperor Dao laughed out loud and an accomplished feeling was reflected in his gaze. He neared Xiaofeng and aimed for his neck with a knife. That was a weak-point attack. As long as he hit the bull’s eye, it would definitely cause critical damage. It would make Xiaofeng lose at least 200 units of Health Points! It was definitely a terrifying injury!

However, just as Emperor Dao was almost leaning against Xiaofeng, he suddenly saw Xiaofeng smiling at him.

Just then! His combat instinct caused him to feel that something was not right. However, he was already too close to Xiaofeng. He had no flashback skills, so it was too late for anything!

A flash of light shone above the Golden Bull Totem and it swung at Emperor Dao!

At that instant, his reaction was already at its maximum. The knife that was aiming for Xiaofeng’s neck moved diagonally and came slashing down on the Golden Bull Totem.

“Block!”

The Golden Bull Totem was blocked, but Emperor Dao’s extreme move caused him to lose control. His foot slipped and he lost his balance.

Meanwhile, Xiaofeng’s attack followed right after. The Golden Bull Totem in his right hand disappeared suddenly. With a wave, the therapeutic scepter was suddenly in his left hand. He then pushed it onto Emperor Dao’s head harshly.

“Boom!”

“-1108! Critical damage!”

A muffled sound was heard when the therapeutic scepter struck Emperor Dao’s head. An alarming damage indicator popped up.

Emperor Dao’s health bar was successfully cleared. His stiff corpse fell to the ground.

“Ding! You’ve hit player Emperor Dao from Toyo Zone and attained the opposite party’s 293094 Treasure Points!”

Xiaofeng scoffed. That was the power of an artifact. Dragon’s Skull was capable of preventing one from being controlled. Hence, Xiaofeng pretended to be controlled by Senbon Zakura. After Emperor Dao caught the bait, Xiaofeng launched his fatal attack and did not spare him any time.

That was the oppression of weapons! Both artifacts were in Xiaofeng’s hands, billions of players across the servers could not even find one weapon that could win against Xiaofeng. The attributes and powers of an artifact were known to all.

“+110!”

A green regeneration indicator appeared above Xiaofeng’s head at the same time. That was the lifesteal effect from the Dragon’s Claw. Xiaofeng did not have to take the time to replenish the blood from the Holy Light. Meanwhile, he turned towards Senbon Zakura who was standing behind him directly.

However, he did not expect Senbon Zakura’s reaction to be so fast. Just when Xiaofeng was ambushing Emperor Dao, Senbon Zakura had already sensed that things were not good. After doing some somersaults like an acrobat, he turned around and ran away.

“Xiaoxue! Chase!”

Xiaofeng quickly summoned Xiaoxue. He hurled himself over Xiaoxue and chased after Senbon Zakura. He did not even take one more glance at Emperor Dao’s corpse on the ground.

Xiaoxue was very fast, but Xiaofeng still lost Senbon Zakura after a few minutes of chasing.

That was because Senbon Zakura knew how to move in stealth mode. Once he reached a cooldown, he would directly disappear. At the start, Xiaofeng could still chase after him based on his instinct. However, he lost the trace of Senbon Zakura completely very soon. Xiaofeng could only frown and pull to a stop.

He actually killed Emperor Dao and let the other one escape.

However, his reward was shocking. Emperor Dao’s 290,000 Treasure Points were now Xiaofeng’s. On the Treasure Island Raid Leaderboard, Xiaofeng was ranked first with 570,000 Treasure Points.

After sending Xiaoxue back into the mount space, Xiaofeng took a look at the time. It was already in the afternoon, just a few hours before the end of the event. Thinking about it, Xiaofeng still headed to the inner area.

There were currently fewer players in the inner area. It seemed like they were all hiding from the elite players that were hunting for Treasure Points. They basically moved in groups.

There were only a few that were not afraid of dying or were just trying out their luck. But most of them did not return.

Currently, Xiaofeng would not have much to catch by heading back to the inner area. However, his goal was not to look for leftovers.

Instead, Emperor Dao and Senbon Zakura’s joint-attack reminded him that the elite players should be battling it out among each other by then!

Not only because everyone had a lot of Treasure Points, but mostly because there was only one artifact!

Under the situation when the chances of the artifact appearing were not high, the one who was most likely to get his hands on the artifact was the one had gained the most Treasure Points!

“Asshole! Where are you? Are you far from this coordinate? Can you come and help?”

However, just as Xiaofeng was about to act, he received an urgent message from Si Yejing.

“We are surrounded by the British District! There is an expert player among them called Michael! We have more than a 100 people here but we are all going to face a team-kill!”

That was an urgent message. Xiaofeng did tell Liu Qiangwei that he would help if a situation came about. He did not expect it to happen just then.

Xiaofeng quickly looked at the coordinates she sent. He seemed slightly surprised, as it was in the peripheral area. Could it be that Michael saw that there was not much people left in the inner area and changed to target the peripheral area?

Just nice, Xiaofeng was chasing after Senbon Zakura, heading towards the peripheral area. It was coincidentally in the same direction towards the coordinates. Hence, he summoned Xiaoxue immediately and rushed over.

“Disperse towards the center of the island, move as much as you can.”

At the same time, Xiaofeng also sent Liu Qiangwei a message.

Midsummer Guild was the core of the third big team. There was definitely not a small number of Huaxia District players nearby. Once assistance was needed, there would be at least a thousand people joining.

However, they still sent him an urgent message. That meant that the situation was not good.

They actually encountered the British District. In order to be a threat to a big team from the Huaxia District, it must be the main force of the British District. It could be all of the participating British District players gathered together. They could have the same strategy as them, to kill Treasure Box Monsters from the outside and only enter in the end.

The top on the Treasure Island Raid Leaderboard, Michael, was also part of it. That further proved the possibility that it could be the main force of the British District.

Facing the main force from a big district, and even more so when there was an elite player among them, the dispersed big team from the Huaxia District was definitely not a compatible opponent. Even if they were to continue providing back up for each other, they would still be beaten by the surrounding opponents.

Very soon, after Xiaoxue boosted its skills, Xiaofeng found a chaotic battleground within 10 minutes. More than a hundred of British players were killing the remaining dozens of Huaxia players. The remaining Huaxia players were being led by the Midsummer Guild. Liu Qiangwei and Si Yejing were among them. They fought and retreated at the same time.

“Don’t be afraid! Our people have arrived! Hang on! Just hold them off a while longer! Then it will be their turn to be surrounded! We’ll let them have a taste of what it’s like to be outnumbered and bullied! Damn it! How dare you compare numbers with our Huaxia District!”
