"From what I know, you and your friend have been here for 1 or 2 months, or perhaps even longer. I'm very curious. What could make a powerhouse like you stay in a place like this for such a long time? "Long Tian Yun asked slowly.
Although his response was flawless, Winter of That Year's body was covered in sweat. He patted his chest as he replied, "For a promise! A man's promise to a woman! Because of that promise, I'll stay here forever! Until 10 days later! Alliance Master Long, I'm sure you won't deny that to a man, there's nothing more important than a promise! "
"Indeed," Long Tian Yun smiled as he nodded, "In that case, what secrets do you have to protect behind the scenes? Can you share them? "
"Since it's a secret, of course I can't say it. Moreover, I can guarantee that Alliance Master Long won't be interested in this' secret 'at all," Winter of That Year dryly laughed, "I'm sure Alliance Master Long won't make things difficult for me, right?"
Long Tian Yun's expression was calm as he replied, "What if I insist on knowing?"
Winter of That Year spread out his hands, "Then at least I'll never join the Yan Huang Alliance again. Alliance Master Long wouldn't have such little patience and magnanimity, right? "
Long Tian Yun looked at him as he calmly replied, "Is there a difference? In actuality, you never planned on joining the Yan Huang Alliance. If you really wanted to join, you wouldn't have humiliated the Flame Emperor just then. After joining, you'll have to work together with the Flame Emperor. No matter how great your enmity is, even if it can't be resolved, you won't make it worse. Also, you agreed too quickly. You have a very important partner, so you should be working together. If you really wanted to join, you would've discussed it with your partner first. Now that your partner isn't here, you immediately agreed. Do you think I'm easy to fool? "
Winter of That Year's nerves tightened as cold sweat dripped down his face. He inwardly cursed … Screw your Long family's 88 generations of ancestors! Hurry up and drop a boulder from the heavens and smash them all into Lanzhou biscuits!
Winter of That Year knew that there was no point in saying anything more. He raised his bow as he said helplessly, "Since Alliance Master Long insists on looking behind me, I have nothing else to say …" His expression became incredibly savage as he said in a deafening voice, "You want to look behind me? You'll have to step over my corpse first! "
His body was ramrod straight, and his wooden bow was raised high. His face was filled with determination, and his usual carefree and frivolous demeanor was nowhere to be seen. Facing an army of a thousand by himself, he showed no fear, nor did he have any intention of retreating.
"Step over your dead body?" Long Tian Yun laughed. "That won't be necessary."
Then, Long Tianyun's eyes turned cold. He waved his right hand and ordered, "Everyone! Ignore him! Scatter and charge south at full speed! I'll say it again, use your fastest speed to rush south. Even if this person attacks your face, don't care about him! Charge!! "
"Awooo!!"
Long Tian Yun's order was the highest order of the Yan Huang Alliance. Everyone loudly responded and put away their weapons. They quickly switched to equipment that increased their Movement Speed as they split up and charged towards the south … they completely ignored Winter of That Year.
This caused Winter of That Year, who had prepared for battle, to feel incredibly shocked.
If the 100 people that Cang Yan had brought had also split up and charged forward, Winter of That Year wouldn't have been able to stop them. However, Long Tianyun and Cang Yan were different. Cang Yan had come to kill Winter of That Year, and as for what Winter of That Year was protecting, he wasn't interested at all. However, Long Tianyun wasn't interested in killing Winter of That Year at all. What he wanted was the secret behind him.
After the second profession upgrade, Assassins had 2 professions: the Assassin and the Shadowless. The Assassin had the most powerful Physical Attack Power and explosive power out of all professions, and could kill with a single strike from the shadows. The Shadowless had the most mobility out of all professions. As such, the Shadowless was at the front, followed by the Assassin, and then the Marksmen and Hunters … the 1,000 people split up into a 100 metre wide group as they charged south.
Winter of That Year was completely dumbfounded. He had been prepared to fight to the death, but they hadn't attacked him at all. If it was 1, 2, or 3 of them, he would be able to deal with them easily, and even 8 or 10 of them wouldn't be a problem. However, with such a formation, even if he had 3 heads and 6 arms, he wouldn't be able to stop them.
After defending the new city for so many months, he had long since made it his responsibility to protect it. He had watched the new city grow every day, and he had developed feelings for the new city. At the same time, there was also the love and admiration he felt towards Meng Xin … how could he allow all of this to go to waste at the last moment?
"Stop, all of you stop right there!!"
With a [Sweeping Arrow], he shot out 6 arrows, knocking the 6 Shadowless to the ground. However, he had only stopped 6 of them in a short period of time, and there were still 1,000 or so charging forwards. As he tried to stop the others, the 6 Shadowless had already stood up and didn't even look at him as they continued to madly run forwards … his equipment was simply too inferior, and he didn't have the ability to insta-kill them. In the face of this sort of momentum, his attempts to stop them were incredibly powerless.
As he stared blankly, more than half of the Shadowless had passed through his position and rushed towards the south behind him. After he attacked once, the Assassin had also rushed behind him and was running further and further away. Winter of That Year furiously roared as he increased his speed, closing the distance between him and the Shadowless at the front. As he ran, he continuously attacked.
Every time he attacked, at least one of his targets would be knocked over. However, the group was still getting closer and closer to the new city, and even though he was doing everything he could, he couldn't do anything.
Long Tian Yun continued to stand where he was. There was no need for him to personally look, because if there were any results, they would tell him immediately. Seeing that Winter of That Year was desperately trying to stop them, he became more and more curious … just what sort of big secret was hidden there?
At that moment, he saw Winter of That Year suddenly stop running, no longer chasing after the people who had run past him, and instead stood there in a daze.
"Haha, have you given up?" Long Tian Yun laughed.
If he looked at Winter of That Year's face, he would see that his pupils were gradually dilating, and his gaze … was incredibly dark and terrifying.
"You … forced me to do this!!"
Winter of That Year's voice was slow, and every word was as heavy as a boulder.
The rattan longbow was slowly raised by him, and six ordinary arrows were nocked on the bowstring … Only [Sweeping Arrow] could fire six arrows at once. As his fingers relaxed, the six arrows whistled through the air and flew out. Their targets were the six people closest to him in his line of sight.
It was an ordinary skill, an ordinary shot. Everything seemed to be the same as before. The only difference was that after he shot those six arrows, he maintained his shooting posture and remained motionless like a statue. The only difference was that his pupils were rapidly contracting and enlarging in his widened eyes …
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Not a single arrow missed! The 6 arrows all hit their targets, and they all hit their foreheads! 6 critical hit figures simultaneously rose up, and the 6 people who had been hit fell to the ground …
After an Archer's arrows hit a target, unless they had a chance of triggering a piercing effect, or their skills had a piercing effect, the arrows would disappear. [Sweeping Arrow] didn't have a piercing effect, and normal rattan longbows didn't have a piercing effect either. However, the arrows that hit the 6 targets didn't disappear. Instead, they pierced through their foreheads and came out from the back of their heads, flying forwards at an even faster speed. In the next second, they once again pierced through the foreheads of another 6 people, and once again flew out. This time, their speed seemed to increase, and in the next moment, another 6 people were hit.
In the blink of an eye, 18 people had fallen. However, this wasn't the end, but the beginning.
The 6 arrows, which still hadn't disappeared, became faster and faster. They were so fast that they could be heard from 100 metres away, and they were so fast that they couldn't even be seen. The 6 arrows seemed to be inexhaustible, and instead became more and more terrifying. They were like the scythes of the grim reaper, mercilessly piercing through enemy after enemy. From piercing through 1 every second, to piercing through 1 in half a second, to piercing through 3 in a second … 10 … 20 …
The range of the arrows became larger and larger.
Six gusts of wind swept across the plain. Amidst the gusts of wind were concentrated screams of agony. Six arrows violently shuttled through the crowd, piercing through bodies one by one. That's right, there were only 6 thin arrows, but they covered a distance of 100 meters. The light they created formed a 100 meter wide net, and all of the people who ran behind Winter of That Year were caught within the net. The arrows pierced through their bodies time and time again …
-2,984, -2,888, -2,649, -2,758, -2,552 …
Winter of That Year's Attack Power was quite weak, and even though each of his attacks was a Critical Hit, he couldn't deal more than 3,000 damage. However, there were only 6 arrows, and there were over 700 targets … every single person was pierced by an arrow every second. No matter how strong their HP was, they were unable to withstand this terrifying rate of HP loss. Within the web of disaster created by the 6 arrows, the Yan Huang Alliance's players fell to the ground in droves.
The players running at the back stopped in their tracks and looked ahead in terror. Half of them were so shocked that they lost their ability to think, while the other half retreated step by step.
Whoosh …
After 10 or so seconds, the howling of the wind suddenly stopped, and the 6 arrows disappeared. The places that they had passed through … were covered with corpses, and not a single player was left alive.
Long Tian Yun's expression froze, and his throat was so dry that he couldn't make a sound.
Chi …
Winter of That Year heavily knelt on the ground, and his eyes became dim and lifeless. He stretched out his hand to support his body, not allowing the intense feeling of dizziness to overwhelm him. He lowered his head and spoke with a voice that trembled like iron, "If you want to get behind me … you'll have to step over my dead body first!!"
