Chapter 49 Domineering Presence

After seeing the notification on the sky and not wanting to let the others get ahead of him in points, Yuan quickly said to the others, "Let's go!"

Yuan and the Luo Family proceeded to run outside the city gates, where hundreds of people were already gathered.

There were around one hundred people wearing similar-looking armors whilst the rest of the people there were wearing common and unmatching gear. It was obvious who the players were and who were the NPCs at a glance.

'There are so many Players here…' Yuan was slightly surprised, even feeling a little nervous, worried that he might reveal his identity once he starts fighting.

"Xiao Hua…" he suddenly called for her, and he asked her, "Do you have any equipment that covers the face? Something like a mask…"

Not even questioning why he needed it, Xiao Hua nodded before rummaging her storage pouch.

"Here you go, Brother Yuan." Xiao Hua handed him an elegant-looking black face mask that could cover his entire face.

"Thank you, Xiao Hua. I will return it to you later," he said as he accepted the mask.

?Black Jade Mask?

?Grade: Spirit?

?Quality: Peak?

?Mental Strength Required: 2,500?

?Description: A profound mask that increases your Mental Defense by 5,000?

"Just like the sword, Brother Yuan can keep it." Xiao Hua said to him afterward.

Yuan nodded, and immediately after wearing the mask, he could feel his mind easing and feeling more tranquil.

The Luo Family wondered why Yuan felt the need to hide his face, but they didn't have time to ask him as someone there suddenly shouted with excitement, "The monsters are here!"

Once the people there heard that, they all retrieved their weapons and prepared to fight.

Very soon, hundreds of monsters between the third level and seventh level Spirit Apprentice could be seen rushing towards the city walls.

"DEFEND THE CITY!"

The guards roared loudly, causing the atmosphere to instantly change, and the place there quickly became a battlefield with both the NPCs and the Players engaged in fights with the monsters.

Yuan and the Luo Family also began attacking the monsters.

?+3 Points?

?+1 Point?

After Yuan swiftly beheaded three monsters with only normal sword techniques, he rushed to the front lines where there were barely any people but filled with monsters and began slaying even more monsters with ease, each with a single sword strike.

The monsters that were slain by Yuan did not even have a chance to scream before becoming a corpse, and when the Luo Family saw how effortlessly he was slaying these monsters, their eyes widened with admiration and awe.

Granted, Yuan was a Spirit Warrior fighting monsters way below his level, but the way he so effortlessly executed the monsters was nothing short of perfection, and it was almost like a walk in the park for him.

However, it was not just the Luo Family that were surprised by Yuan's prowess, as the other Players have also taken notice of his domineering presence on the battlefield.

"Who the hell is that single-man-army?! He's killing the monsters as though they are defenseless chickens!"

"He's probably some expert NPC assisting with the situation!"

"Forget about him! Look at the little girl next to him! She's killing the monsters with her bare hands! And she's even making it look so effortless!"

The people there watched as Xiao Hua slapped every monster that dared to attack her with a single slap to the face, shocking everybody there greatly.

Points continuously flowed for Yuan even when Xiao Hua killed the monsters, racking up over two hundred points within mere minutes.

Meanwhile, the other players were having trouble dealing with just a single monster, and most of them had less than 10 points even after many minutes.

'How many monsters are there?!' Yuan cried inwardly after slaying over 500 monsters but was still surrounded by them.

He also wanted to use Heaven Splitting Sword Strike to clear the mobs faster, but he did not want to destroy the place in the process, as the Pang City was right behind him, so he could only give up on such thoughts and defeat the monsters without any flashy attacks.

"Daoist Yuan, the beasts coming here are growing stronger! The Mountain Lord should be near!" Luo Ling suddenly said to him.

"The Mountain Lord? If we kill it, won't its subordinates stop attacking the city?"

"Yes, and our father should be fighting the Mountain Lord right now!"

Yuan nodded, "Then let's continue defending the city until he defeats the Mountain Lord!"

"Bloody Sword Strike!"

Many minutes of fighting later, as both Players and NPCs were beginning to run out of energy, someone wearing Pang City's armor approached the Luo Family and shouted at them in a panicked voice, "Young Ladies! Young Master! It's about your father, Lord Luo! He's currently in a critical condition after fighting with the Mountain Lord!"

"What?! What happened to our father?! And what about the Mountain Lord?!" Luo Ming quickly shouted back.

After taking a deep breath, the guard continued, "Lord Luo, he… he lost the fight against the Mountain Lord! However, he barely managed to escape with his life and is currently being treated by the doctors! And while his life is not in danger, he cannot continue fighting!"

"How could this be…?" Luo Li covered her mouth in shock, feeling lightheaded after hearing such news.

"Does this mean the Mountain Lord is still going on a rampage? If we don't defeat it soon, the monsters will eventually overwhelm the people here and destroy the city!" Luo Ming said with a frown.

"We will have to worry about our father later. Right now, we must defeat the Mountain Lord!" Luo Ling then turned to look at Yuan, who was still slaying monsters not far away from them.

She then ran to him and said, "Daoist Yuan! We've just received news that our father lost to the Mountain Lord!"

"What?! Is your father okay?" Yuan said in a surprised tone.

She nodded and said, "His life is not in danger, but he won't be able to fight the Mountain Lord anymore, and you are the only one here that's strong enough to fight it. Please, help us defeat the Mountain Lord! I will do anything to repay you afterward!"

Yuan did not even need to think before nodding his head, "Okay, I will fight the Mountain Lord."
