Chapter 571: Entering the Gate

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Seeing Tyrant Sword King the Fifth forcefully making his way in, Ouyang Qian frowned but still pulled back and moved aside.

“Thank you!”

Overjoyed, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was about to place his hands on the sphere when Li Yi edged his body to get in his way and occupied the spot, leaving Li Yi’s original spot open but it was quickly taken by a Wizard of the same guild.

With all four spots filled up, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth could not lay his hands on the sphere.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was dumbfounded.

His Bloody Shield was still in effect. Attacks hammering on him were still emerging 0 value in damage. Of course, his current ATK decreased to zero as well so he possessed no capability to attack those in his way.

“Haha,” Ouyang clapped her hands with glee at the sight of Tyrant Sword King the Fifth humiliated.

“Guild Master Dark Wing, do you think you can stop me?”

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth took out a scroll from his backpack with a smile. He closed in on the sphere and tore the scroll apart.

“Bang!”

At the sound of a dragon’s roar, a ripple of a shockwave spread out. Apart from Li Yi, the other three players who were in contact with the sphere were flicked away.

Mad Dragon’s Roar Scroll did not have any damaging effect but its effect was similar to the Flaming Dragon’s Roar skill.

“Haha!”

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was pleased with himself and stood at the other end to touch the teleportation sphere.

“Guild Master Dark Wing, don’t you want to try it out too?”

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth took out another Mad Dragon’s Roar and dangled it at Li Yi. He was standing in the same direction as Li Yi earlier so when Mad Dragon’s Roar was active, Li Yi was not blown away as his body was blocked by the teleportation sphere.

Li Yi nodded with a serious look on his face, “I do, I really do.”

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth gently tore the scroll and said, “Haha, as you wish.”

“Bang!”

At the spread of a shockwave, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth repelled dozens of feet before landing on his ass. Wham! The Mad Dragon’s Roar in his hand took to effect and blown away the players around him...

“Brothers, surround the sphere in rows!”

Li Yi gently retrieved his foot and gave Tyrant Sword King the Fifth a cold smirk.

The major difference between Flaming Dragon’s Roar and Mad Dragon’s Roar Scroll was the absence of channeling time for Flaming Dragon’s Roar and instantaneous release while Mad Dragon’s Roar Scroll was similar to Random Teleportation Scroll for its three to five seconds channeling time.

Iron Alliance players moved forward to form a screw pattern in an encirclement of the sphere. Resistance-type skills were ineffective if there were targets in front of each other. This way, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth would not be able to squeeze his way in no matter how many Mad Dragon’s Roar he possessed.

Though glowering, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was demonstrating quite the self-control. He would usually smile and let it go on normal circumstances. However, his fiancée Qian’er was watching there. A man always likes to show off in front of the opposite sex they liked. This was all about saving one’s face.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth shared this thought, so did Li Yi. Li Yi turned back to glance at Ouyang Qian and by coincidence, Ouyang Qian was looking towards him. Their eyes met and smiled in response.

“Adulterous couple!” Jiaojiao gritted her teeth and snorted.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s face scrunched up at this scene.

Qian’er may treat him coldly but the engagement between the two was a real deal. No men would show no concern when their fiancée warms up to another man.

With the duration of Bloody Shield gone by half now, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was burning with anxiety, trying to regain the upper hand. However, his mind went black under such circumstance.

Tst —

It was then, a white light flashed near the White Teleportation Sphere, signaling Brother Windcloud Nine’s entry into Soul Gate.

A thought struck Tyrant Sword King the Fifth as he sprinted ahead with Charge. His damaging ability may be 0 but this did not stop him from unleashing any skills. He may release all his skills but they would not cause any damage.

The two teleportation spheres were two hundred meters apart from each other. Tyrant Sword King the Fifth initiated Acceleration to dash close to White Teleportation Sphere where he tore apart Mad Dragon’s Roar.

Wham!

Out of four players who were touching the sphere, he managed to repel three. He then placed his hands on the teleportation sphere.

Tch tch tch...

About forty seconds later, the Bloody Shield effect on Tyrant Sword King the Fifth faded away. During then, the surface of White Teleportation Sphere shone with great brilliance while a pale dark glow enveloped Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s body, canceling out all attacks on him.

Unharmed!

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was stunned at first but quickly came to a realization. He made an announcement in the guild.

As White Teleportation Sphere reflected in his pupils grew brilliant in radiance, the dark glow protecting his body was gradually fading.

“Shield Wall! Fortress! Blood Boost Potion!”

Similar to Brother Windcloud Nine, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was a rich man who was willing to throw money into the game. Hence, the reason why he was able to level up at a quick rate. The equipment on him was attached with additional special skills.

He activated Warrior’s Shield Wall to reduce damage by 40%, unleashed Fortress special skill to reduce another 40%, and consumed Blood Boost Potion to double his HP limit within a minute.

By then, the dark glow around Tyrant Sword King the Fifth has disappeared but the damage-reduction effects on him were still there. With Shield Wall and Fortress alone reducing damage on him by 80% plus damage-reductions from his equipment, killing him was not an easy task.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was stuffing himself with potions, persisting on for another thirty seconds until his body turned into a streak of white light and was teleported into Soul Gate just as his HP was about to hit the bottom of the barrel.

He paid a huge price but no matter what, he succeeded...

On the other hand, Li Yi’s body was wrapped in black light as he was teleported into Soul Gate around the same time as Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.

“Brothers of the guild, keep in mind to interchange between the two spheres. It will shorten the teleportation time and produce a short term effect of Invincibility!”

Li Yi sent a message to the guild the moment he was teleported in.

He caught on to Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s earlier peculiar series of motion and got the picture after mulling it over.

Li Yi was teleported to a gloomy long corridor with both sides lit by will-o’-the-wisps. Pitch dark, everything could be seen in close range but anything further up was a poor vision.

“Wham!”

Just as Li Yi was inspecting around, a dark shadow rammed him from the back, spurring him into Disoriented state.

“Blade Storm!”

The dark shadow yelled as it began to spiral and stab the two Icy Blue Greatswords at Li Yi.

Without needing to turn around, Li Yi could already guess the person who was ambushing him. It was definitely Tyrant Sword King the Fifth as he entered three seconds earlier than Li Yi. Would Tyrant Sword King the Fifth let off the chance to attack him seeing him coming in the back?

With his back sustaining a direct hit, combo strikes from Blade Storm left Li Yi paralyzed. He could only look on as his HP plummeted and soon it was down by half.

“Pseudocide!”

Just as Tyrant Sword King the Fifth ended his skill, Li Yi’s body fell limp onto the ground. He chanced upon the interval when the other party was in between skills and applied Pseudocide in order to break his attack combo.

With Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s next move coming up empty, Li Yi rolled and tumbled over to the other side in Pseudocide state. He stood up to activate Rocket Propellant and just as he was about to blast off, he turned to fire a shot at Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.

“Overlord Arrow!”

Li Yi fired a killer move. Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was in slashing motion and has yet to pull away from position, putting him in a stiff state to evade.

“Bp!”

Overlord Arrow struck Tyrant Sword King the Fifth in the head. Shimmering gold words of Skill Interruption emerged above his head followed by an explosive sound that left Tyrant Sword King the Fifth face-planting to the ground.

Being in a rush to ambush Li Yi, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth has yet to recover his HP and sustaining an Overlord Arrow left him for dead.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth fell onto the ground and dropped an Icy Blue Greatsword. Li Yi picked it up and stored it in his backpack.

A primary Icy Blue Greatsword. How invigorating.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth lay on the ground without saying a word, nor did he release his soul.

“What? Can’t accept your fate? Get up if you can’t. I’ll let you recover to full before we fight.”

Tyrant Sword King the fifth smiled, “Guild Master Dark Wing’s the No. 1 expert in Invincible Continent. How can I ever beat you?”

“You knew that yet you still planned a sneak attack? Have you lost your mind?” Li Yi regarded him as an eyesore, therefore he had nothing good to say to the man.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth stopped talking. Li Yi then contacted Jiaojiao because he did not see them along this corridor even though Jiaojiao and Sister Windcloud Nine were the first to enter Soul Gate.

Jiaojiao was quick to reply, “We’re in Soul Gate. Walk ahead and you’ll see us.”

Li Yi lowered his head to glance at Tyrant Sword King the Fifth before moving ahead in the corridor.

There was virtually nothing in the dark corridor. Walking for about five minutes, Li Yi’s vision grew dimmer but he soon arrived at a spooky-looking hall.

There were will-o’-the-wisps fluttering about and faintly discernible sounds of moans afar, going back and forth, as though there was a woman crying or perhaps laughing, enough to make one’s hair stand on one end.

Jiaojiao, Sister Windcloud Nine, and Brother Windcloud Nine were battling it out with a vicious beast.

Brother Windcloud Nine and Jiaojiao were respectively on the left and right, sandwiching the beast in the middle while Sister Windcloud Nine took the healer position, healing the two tanks with her pathetic heal skills.

Li Yi took quick paces forward and finally had a good look at the beast.

Standing tall at three meters and body completely black, only its eyes were bloodshot. It was as though there were six red balls dancing in this dark space. This vicious beast was swift in movement, leaping to the front and back, covering distances of twenty meters in seconds. It used its claws and black flames spewed from its mouth to attack.

This beast has three heads, with an appearance similar to a dog... However he looked at it, Li Yi felt it looked like Brother Windcloud Nine’s mount, Cerberus?

Jiaojiao was overjoyed when she saw Li Yi, “Quick, come over and help!”

Li Yi drew his bow and fired an arrow, “What monster is this?”

“My mount!”

Brother Windcloud Nine yelled in response. He raised Blazing Judgement to slash one of Cerberus’ head.
