Chapter 118 - The Golden Crow Display Its Splendor, and Blood Soaked the Morning Sun
At the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor, the war continued.
The scene for Jiang Feng’s kills were all extraordinarily bloody. All the players that had seen this scene that didn’t lower down their graphical settings were all vomiting as they bent down.
Some of the female players were so scared by his bloody look that they no longer dared to attack the wall.
While it was just a game, many of the players lost their will when faced with intent so murderous that it breached the very heavens.
Many players were so afraid they dared not to attack the walls.
But even more, players were still fearlessly attacking the walls!
Jiang Feng continued to kill, and all those players that saw him all died by his blade.
Two hours had passed, and the wall had less than 20% HP left.
Boom!
After twenty more minutes, the Ancient City’s wall had finally depleted its health points, and several points along the wall had crumbled.
“The wall has fallen! Go and destroy the Shifter Emperor’s Order!” Yao Qiong bellowed out excitedly when she saw that the Ancient City’s wall had been broken through, she led them all into the Ancient City.
The 400,000 armies followed her and headed into the Ancient City!
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
…
Jiang Feng didn’t give up and continued his slaughter.
In his madness, he had used all skills he had. He then called the Monster Cloud toward him, and with its help, brought him next to Yao Qiong. Before she could escape, she Blinked toward her, grabbed her, opened up his jaw, and bit into her neck, draining her blood.
It could be said to be extremely crazy.
But what was weird was that as Yao Qiong’s blood was being drained away, his HP was slowly restored.
Not only was his HP full, but even his hunger value was also somewhat restored. Yao Qiong looked at Jiang Feng in horror, and it was at this moment that Jiang Feng’s palm became a dragon claw and pierced through her abdomen.
Yao Qiong fell onto the ground with a face of terror.
Roar!
After killing Yao QIong, he dispelled his Polymorph and returned to his form of a dragon. He rushed into the ranks of the players and killed one player per bite without fail.
Chirp!
Just when Qiu Si and Canaan and the 300,000 armies reached the center of the Ancient City, the statue of the Shifter Emperor Donghuang Taiyi suddenly let out a violent cry. Next, a Golden Crow phantom that spanned a few thousand meters[1] in length flew out from it.
Flames burn on the phantom of the Golden Crow, its sharp eyes swept through the 300,000 players. It then unfurled its wings and flew directly into the army of players.
Chirp!
The phantom of the Golden Crow let out a cry and the flames on it burned even brighter. At this point, its body size had covered half of the Ancient City, and wherever it flew past the players would all turn into a white light and disappear.
In only five minutes, the 300,000 strong armies including Qiu Si and everyone else had been slain by the Golden Crow, all of them consumed by the burning flames.
The entire Ancient City was filled with burning bodies.
Chirp!
As if it had used all its powers, the Golden Crow released one final cry before the phantom turned into ashes and disappeared.
“This… is the remaining power after Donghuang Taiyi’s death? This is so terrifying!”
Yan Chixia looked at the disappearing Golden Crow and he couldn’t calm himself down.
Even he felt terrified by that attack. If that Golden Crow attacked him, he would probably be instantly killed as well.
When Jiang Feng saw the 300,000 armies had all been destroyed in a short while, he was stunned. But when he remembered something, he frowned.
If he had guessed it correctly, that phantom of the Golden Crow must be one of the nine Golden Crows that were flying the island.
That meant that once the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor had been successfully built, he would only have eight of them left.
…
“What… what’s happening? All 300,000 of them dead?” A group of replacement players had also seen the phantom of the Golden Crow. Some of the leaders of the smaller guilds were on their flying steed, and they even saw how the army was instantly decimated.
“Leader, now that there’s no one on the battlefield, should we go? A guild member on a Rank 3 flying mount asked his leader.
“Go? For what? 300,000 of them disappeared in an instant, what’s the point of us going if we’re just going to end up killed? Retreat!”
“Are not going to besiege it?”
“What’s the point of attacking it? The 300,000 will need to queue for so long at the Respawn Point that they wouldn’t be able to gather so many elite players without an hour or so. Who knows if that Shifter’s Inheritor still has any more tricks in his sleeves?”
“Maybe that was the last one? We still had around 400,000 players here. Should we go at least once?”
“Damn it! Are you the group leader or I am the group leader? I said retreat, you hear me?”
…
The phantom of the Golden Crow was so shocking that the players from the smaller guilds all retreated from a fear of loss.
And in the respawn points of various cities, the players all began to be respawned one by one. But each Respawn Point could only revive ten of them. Even if the players all came from different cities, and using different Respawn Points, they could only revive a few thousand players every second.
And those players that died had to queue up to be revived. They would need two hours to revive every single last player that was killed.
Even after they were revived, they still needed time to gather them. Once they had gathered, the Ancient City had already successfully been defended.
…
Jiang Feng was worried that the replacement players from the oceans would attack again. He quickly flew into the sky and his giant draconic body appeared in the air of the Ancient City, his bloodshot eyes stared at the ships on the oceans.
Only when the ships left did he heave a sigh of relief.
But he didn’t completely leave and was still protecting the ancient city from above just in case someone launched a surprise attack.
Ding! Server Announcement: Congratulations. The Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor has been successfully defended.
Chirp!
The moment that the Ancient City had been successfully defended, eight phantoms of the Golden Crow flew out from Donghuang Taiyi’s statue. They then flew toward the edge of the island, and their tails extended to under the sea. In the next moment, the eight phantoms of the Golden Crow dragged the Ancient City into the skies once again.
“I’ve… won!”
Bang!
As the Ancient City was once again being dragged to flight by the eight phantoms of the Golden Crows, he raised his dragon head and looked to the east where the sun, as if colored by blood finally rose. He smiled, and a sense of tiredness overwhelmed him, and his giant body fell into a pool of blood.
Soon, his body disappeared as he had been forced to log out.
…
When the players that still hadn’t left yet saw this, they were all shocked.
“There are eight Golden Crows! Luckily, we didn’t continue the assault. We would have all been wiped out.”
“Regardless, this battle would be immortalized into the history of Divine Dominion. This is so awesome! I never thought that a Shifter that only led 100,000 monsters had withstood against continuous attacks from us players!”
“Shit, I still feel my blood boiling! This is even better than watching a special effect film! This is so cool!”
…
The Battle of the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor had been recorded into the History of the Divine Dominions. Many players were discussing the battle, and some of them would even feel their blood boiling when they talked about the battle.
Weibo, the Official Message Board, and Tieba, all were filled with posts about the war. They were even more prominent than some celebrities and news.
But from now on, they all would remember the one!
The one that dared to let the world be uncomfortable through his existence alone, the Inheritor of the Shifters!!!
