Chapter 212: I Suspect They Were Cheating

The sudden blue vortex that emerged left the Hidden Dragon Ghost General in shock. The millions of Beiqi forces that appeared after that stunned him even more.

He had never heard of any force that had the ability to transport millions of troops through the air aside from the Yin Talisman itself.

Besides, it had to be the Yin Talisman from His Excellency Cangxu. They were in the Land of Cangxu after all.

His Excellency Cangxu was already dead, though. Therefore, the sudden appearance of the Beiqi Expeditionary Force made the Hidden Dragon Ghost General completely dumbfounded.

“Brothers of the European server, retreat and pass the front line to us!” Liu Chai shouted through the zone channel.

“Let’s do this together!” Li Xing replied swiftly.

Liu Chai helplessly shook his head once he heard him. After all, they were insisting to fight at the front line just for the benefits. For them, the Hidden Dragon Army were merely tantalizing prestige points. They were not trying to prove their bravery or anything.

“Brothers, attack them from the front. For prestige!” Liu Chai simply took the lead and shouted a war cry in their live chat channel.

“For prestige!” the Beiqi players bellowed in sync before advancing toward the Hidden Dragon Army from the left.

“We are charging as well!” Li Xing issued an attack command at that same moment.

Both sides of the army intersected at the front.

“Hey, hey, fuck. Beiqi players, are you guys insane!? What’s with the rush?”

“Fuck, what’s happening, why did they move to the right?”

…

Both armies intersected. Rune Warriors from the Beiqi faction stood in front and blocked out all the European server players with their strong physiques, pushing them to the right.

Every single one of the Beiqi players only had one thought in their mind. Don’t stop us from getting those prestige points, don’t stop us from being pretentious!

After pushing the group of European server players away from the front lines, Liu Chai began to take command.

“Mages, use the Water Turret!”

Just as the last of Liu Chai’s words fell, the blue Element of Water behind the Beiqi Army fluctuated and dispersed. A line of Water Turrets were then finished constructing efficiently.

The Hidden Dragon was astonished and enraged at the same time when they realized that the force which suddenly appeared was actually the reinforcements of the Hidden Dragon’s latest force.

However, the battle had begun once more. The sophora staff was waved again as a gust of black wind was sent forward, trying to create an upwind effect.

The Hidden Dragon Army also started to charge forward.

“Warriors to the front, listen to my command…”

Liu Chai let out a smile as he watched the approaching Hidden Dragon Army that was about to collide with the players.

“Rune Masters, sapphires! Drought Zombies, Blood Qi Shields!”

The soldiers in the front row roared collectively. The sapphires’ rays flickered as the strong Power of Blood Qi emerged and collided with the oncoming Hidden Dragon Army.

Chaos did not happen this time round as the onslaught of the enemy was held back by the warriors with strong physiques on the front lines.

“Rune Masters, rubies! Drought Zombies, Blood Qi! Hold them back!”

Just as Liu Chai finished speaking, the red rays of light that were located at the front of the Beiqi Army gleamed brightly. Multiple scarlet paw prints swept toward the Hidden Dragon Army, bringing down most of their frontline forces.

“Water Turrets! Drown them!” the Mages who had their energies recharged and were waiting for the command released the Element of Water bullets straight away.

A dense bullet rain fell in an instant, beating down rows and rows of Hidden Dragon Warriors.

The European server players were flabbergasted as they watched the scene.

They originally thought that when the two armies merged, they would definitely have a powerful fighting force. Then, they would utilize the resurrection ability and would own the advantage to win this battle.

Who knew that the Beiqi Army could be so intimidating? They could completely suppress the Hidden Dragon Army’s force with their own strength in the first wave of confrontation. The cooperation skills which their team had demonstrated was simply dazzling.

“Assassins and killer squads, harvest their remaining blood while they are having internal chaos!”

At that moment, two figures appeared among the Beiqi Army.

They merged into one in the air before shooting downward like a sharp sword. After falling into the enemy’s army, a huge dark lotus shadow gradually bloomed on the ground. The Hidden Dragon Warriors, who were within the targeted area, fell to the ground instantaneously.

“Murphy, all the best, get more of that prestige!”

“Yep, all the best!”

After that, the two figures merged into the shadows and began to wander within the Hidden Dragon Army, turning into a reaper of death.

At that moment, another two figures rushed out of the player’s army and hurried forward.

The conspicuous Nine Spiritual Swords behind Ao Jian’s back dispersed following his hand gesture, turning into a sword array with a strong Sword Qi as it descended and killed a whole bunch of Hidden Dragon Warriors.

Under Qi Ming’s Ghost Realm, the dead spirits roared, seeking for flesh and blood that could be devoured. It was really a dance of the ghosts.

…

Every single one of the representatives of the top Beiqi players who were extremely powerful completely amazed the European server players.

They could not imagine that the power to kill off strong opponents with just a wave of an arm could possibly be mastered by players. They felt astonished but also envious.

At least now they knew, these were powers which they could possibly possess in the future!

“Are these the hackers of Beiqi you mentioned?” Li Xing peered at Reinhardt and asked in shock.

“Yep, every one of them are top-notch. Their strengths are terribly formidable!” Reinhardt could not help but to laugh bitterly.

Jason, “Indeed, they are quite… scary!”

…

That moment, the assassin players at the rear quickly rushed out of the defensive line formed by the warriors. After the Shadow Step was activated, the players took the form of phantoms, constantly waiting for an opportunity to strike during the chaos.

With the help of the tough Naraka Realm God, they got to reap every life in their every attack.

“Aww… boss, can’t you let me out? I want to fight, too! I want to snatch that prestige, too! I don’t want to just help with the refill of health points!” Sun Qi the dog was struggling to break free from Gu Yu’s hands. He felt hurt when he saw that other players were busy reaping prestige while all he could do was to help with healing.

What about the talk regarding the hopes of civilian players rising to the top? They could no longer live on days like these anymore.

“Just do your job and heal others’ health. You will get your chance to do what you want when their army is beaten to a pulp. They are currently at the stage of a collaboration battle, so you better be patient!” Gu Yu furiously landed a loud slap on the dog’s head as he felt resentful toward him for failing to meet his expectations and he was impatient to see some improvement. Through this slap, he hoped he could calm down.

The dog immediately lifted up his head while showing a pitiful expression, “Boss, are you sure?”

“Yes, so just heal them first!” Gu Yu said helplessly.

…

The power displayed by the Beiqi Army did not only surprise the European server players, but it also shocked the Hidden Dragon Ghost General.

He realized that the situation was turning for the worse as soon as he witnessed his forces being defeated by the players.

He then fixed his gaze onto Liu Chai who was commanding the battle behind the players. His eyes were filled with hatred as he waved his sophora staff, forming a stream of black rays which drew an arc across the air before blasting toward Liu Chai.

The moment he realized it was coming for him, it was too late for Liu Chai to dodge.

Liu Chai was startled and promptly raised his right arm in front of him.

Boom!

The huge impact pushed the players around him away while Liu Chai’s figure left a trail of ten yards from his original place.

“Not bad!” Liu Chai slowly straightened his figure before raising his right arm and pointing a middle finger at the Hidden Dragon Ghost General who was standing afar.

That was a powerful hit, but his right arm was Mu Zhiguang’s right arm, so his defense could never be broken by the Hidden Dragon Ghost General’s force.

The Hidden Dragon Ghost General widened his eyes in surprise. He then waved his sophora staff once again, sending a few rays of black light toward him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After blocking the hits continuously, Liu Chai was warded off from where he was standing again. However, there was not a single scratch left on his right arm.

“A fucking Qilin arm indeed, love it!”

Liu Chai felt content with the strong defensive power his right arm had. He gestured a thumbs down sign to provoke the Hidden Dragon Ghost General after that.

The Hidden Dragon Ghost General’s face was distorted with rage as his hands started grasping even more tightly onto his staff.

“God, he can even resist the attack of the Hidden Dragon Ghost General!” Jason could not believe his eyes when he saw what just happened.

“There is no way I would believe that this game cannot be rigged. It might just be a problem with our server. I bet the other server cheats all the time. I am going to buy one of those arms, too!”

“I also strongly suspect that it was rigged! How could they possibly be so strong!?”

…

The European server players were having a lot of discussions among themselves. To be honest, they were not convinced with the cheat theory themselves, yet they could not explain the players’ outstanding performance.

“Let’s all attack! Don’t let the soul coins and experience go to waste!” Li Xing howled once again in the zone channel when he saw their advantage.

When they realized that now was a good opportunity to earn some soul coins, the Cangxu players gathered once again and proceeded with their attack.

The Beiqi Army saw what they were trying to do and immediately sprung to action to block them from advancing.

What a joke! The cross-server battle was carried out for prestige all along. This wave of creatures was their trophy and they would never give it up.

The unsatisfied Cangxu players tried to take another route, but the Beiqi Army immediately reformed, keeping them on the outside. That made the European server players grit their teeth with hatred.

Just say so if you want to snatch the benefits away. Don’t be pretentious and say things like it was for our own good and you’re afraid of us getting hurt. This is simply too irritating!

The newer players had no choice but to hide at the back while they watched the Beiqi players kill sprightly.

At least they managed to discover something new. It seemed that the reward given by the cross-server event was high for creature hunting, otherwise they would not have worked so hard.

“Fine. We can also expand our range of leveling up with the Hidden Dragon Ghost General gone. At least the development of the European server players can speed up,” Li Xing smiled helplessly as he had no choice but to say so.

“It’s a long way to surpass the achievements of the first server, but I believe that we can do it!” Reinhardt said solemnly.

“That’s right! After this battle, we can work hard and level up. If they can do it, why can’t we!?” Jason encouraged them by the side.

However, the main lead of the battle was undeniably the cross-server Beiqi Expeditionary Forces. No one could change that fact.

The armies of the Hidden Dragon Ghost General felt defeated under the strong suppression of the Beiqi Army.

Even some of the ghost soldiers started to retreat toward the back and did not dare to obey further orders to charge.

The warriors’ performance made the Hidden Dragon Ghost General realize that they had lost this battle. They were not on par with the enemy’s forces at all.

He thought of using the decapitation movement to cause a distraction among the enemy’s armies. But the commander-in-chief was as tough as a turtle’s shell, not hurt at all from any of his attacks launched from afar.

That person even provoked him with weird hand gestures after he managed to block off all his attacks.

He also thought of rushing forward and killing the army by himself. However, he specialized in spells and his close combat ability was weak.

He felt a sudden chill in his heart especially when he saw the various powers demonstrated by them such as the blooming of the dark shadow lotus, the ghost raging realm, the Sword Qi Formation and the enormous number of phantoms from the Naraka Realm. He was afraid that if he advanced further, he would sacrifice his life.

He then realized he could not continue fighting like that.

Since he already had Yuanxu as his pillar of support, he could temporarily retreat and let Yuanxu order his troops to annihilate all these forces in the future.

He followed this train of thought and decided to withdraw his troops.

However, the Beiqi players would never let them off the hook so easily. All of them were chasing after them while shouting, “Prestige, don’t go!”
