When Long Tian Yun's corpse fell from the sky and landed in the middle of the battlefield, the players on both sides saw it clearly. The chaotic battlefield fell into a dead silence. Then, there was a roar that sounded like a tsunami.
"G-Alliance Master?!"
"The Alliance Master's dead … dead … The Alliance Master's dead!!"
No matter if it was the Yan Huang Alliance's players or the defenders, this scene was simply too shocking. This was especially so for the Yan Huang Alliance's players. Seeing Long Tian Yun's corpse nailed to the ground in such a pitiful manner, all of them stared with wide eyes and jaws. They felt as if their hearts were going to explode, and they even forgot about the enemies in front of them. The Disillusion Alliance and Snow Moon Loulan's players were also completely dumbfounded, unable to believe their eyes until thunderous roars sounded out in their ears …
"Long Tian Yun's dead! Did everyone see that? The Yan Huang Alliance's Alliance Master's dead! What are we afraid of? What are we waiting for? Defeat them and we'll be the creators of legends!! "
Long Tian Yun's corpse and the thunderous roars caused the Disillusion Alliance and Snow Moon Loulan's players to feel their blood boil. They swung their weapons as they charged towards the panicking Yan Huang Alliance, killing the enemies who were still in a daze.
On the other hand, the Yan Huang Alliance had 2 million players, and yet their Alliance Master had been killed by 200,000 enemies. This was a humiliation that they would never be able to wash away. Long Tian Yun's death caused the players, as well as the Generals, to feel completely at a loss. Almost no one dared to continue fighting, and they were suppressed by the morale of the defenders, who all took a large step back.
"Holy crap … she's simply too powerful!" Winter of That Year swallowed his saliva as he vigorously rubbed his hands together. He was completely in awe of the Sword Emperor. The Sword Emperor had killed Long Tian Yun with a single attack, and the 2 million players around her seemed to be nothing to her. Even to experts like Winter of That Year, she was as powerful as a legend.
"His appearance has changed the tides of the battle," Li Xiao Xue said in amazement, "However, why is he helping us? Is it because of Ling Tian? "
That night at the Long family residence, she knew that Ling Chen had been saved by the Sword Emperor. After that night, the Sword Emperor had betrayed the Long family and the Xuanyuan family, as well as the Yan Huang Alliance. Since then, there had been no news of him. This was the first time the Sword Emperor had appeared in front of the public since he disappeared that day.
"He might have some sort of friendship with Ling Tian." Yun Meng Xin said emotionally. The battle in front of her was completely out of her expectations, causing her to be unable to calm down. His palms were covered in sweat as he gripped his clothes tightly.
"Friendship?" Li Xiao Xue felt quite surprised. She had spent a great deal of effort to investigate the Sword Emperor, but she had been unable to find out the Sword Emperor's true identity. This was because the Sword Emperor always covered his entire body and never revealed himself to anyone, making it impossible for her people to find any flaws. But what was certain was that the Sword Emperor was emotionless and never spoke. He only obeyed orders like a machine. Moreover, the Sword Emperor had existed for nearly 10 years … how could such a Sword Emperor have any sort of friendship with Ling Tian?
Li Xiao Xue quickly went through all the information she had about the Sword Emperor in her mind. Finally, she went back to when Ling Chen was still at the Long family residence … suddenly, a name that had disappeared for a long time appeared in her mind.
"Could it be … that the Sword Emperor is …"
"Meng Xin, do you think the Sword Emperor is a man or a woman?" Li Xiao Xue suddenly asked.
"Of course he's a man." Yun Meng Xin replied. She was a bit surprised that Li Xiao Xue would ask such a strange question.
"But, no one has ever seen the Sword Emperor's appearance before. How can you be sure that he's a man?" Li Xiao Xue continued to ask.
Yun Meng Xin looked over, "Ever since the Sword Emperor appeared, he's been number 1 on the Heaven Rankings. How could such a powerful person be a woman?"
Li Xiao Xue didn't say anything else, and her expression became one of ridicule and bitterness as she thought to herself, "What a devil-like man. At such a young age, he's able to make a girl with a cold heart fall in love with him to such an extent. If this interesting guess is correct, then … such a promiscuous man … out of all the women by your side, which one of them can compare to her in love … "
In the distance, the leaders of the large guilds who had been observing the battle were all sweating profusely, and some of them even shivered for a long time. When Long Tian Yun's corpse had been nailed to the ground by Ling Tian, their hearts had almost jumped out of their throats. Long Tian Yun had brought 2 million players with him, but he had still been killed by the Sword Emperor. If their guilds had been the ones attacking the city … who would have been able to escape from the Sword Emperor?
Dying wasn't a big deal – after all, this was a virtual world, and one could revive after dying. Moreover, on such a massive battlefield, only a small portion of people would be able to see the Alliance Master die. After dying, the Alliance Master could immediately revive and shout in the guild channel, and most people wouldn't even know that the Alliance Master had died … however, after Long Tian Yun's corpse had been sent flying, landing in the centre of the battlefield. To the Yan Huang Alliance's players, this was like a bucket of cold water being poured over their hearts. To the enemies, this was like a massive injection of adrenaline, greatly affecting the battle. At the same time, as the leader of a large guild, if he had died in such a pitiful manner in front of everyone, what face and dignity would he have left?
Putting themselves in the shoes of Long Tian Yun, who had just died a horrible death, the faces of these guild leaders all turned ashen. When they thought of the words "Sword Emperor", they all shrank back and felt a chill run down their spines. Which one of these high and mighty leaders didn't view their face as more important than their lives? Wasn't the fight for the title of 'Number One Guild' and 'Only City' all about face? They would rather die hundreds of times in other ways than die humiliatingly in front of so many people like Long Tianyun did.
"Alliance Master, Long Tian Yun's dead. Perhaps this is an opportunity, should we …"
"Opportunity my ass! Hold your breath and obediently wait! Didn't you hear Long Tian Yun's orders? They're not attacking the city, but slaughtering all of the defenders! In other words, this is a personal grudge between them. Only someone with a screw loose in the head would interfere in such an unrewarding matter! "
"Yes, yes, yes, yes …"
Long Tian Yun's death caused the Yan Huang Alliance to fall into a state of panic. The Sword Emperor, who had killed Long Tian Yun, suddenly abandoned the Lightning Falcon, and jumped down from the sky, landing within the Yan Huang Alliance … right in the middle of the 2 million Yan Huang Alliance players.
Apart from the Sword Emperor, how many people in the world would dare to land in the middle of an army of millions?
The Yan Huang Alliance's high-level players all idolized the Sword Emperor, and he was an undefeatable legend in their hearts. Normally, when they met the Sword Emperor, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly in front of him. Being able to join the Yan Huang Alliance with the Sword Emperor made them feel even more proud. They had never thought, nor had they dared to think, that they would one day have to fight with the Sword Emperor. Looking at the Sword Emperor descending from the sky, they were surrounded by countless companions, but all of them were terrified. They didn't feel any sense of security, and they could only feel a chill running through their bodies. Seeing the Sword Emperor descend, none of them attacked, and instead hurriedly retreated.
When the Sword Emperor landed on the ground, a ten or so meter wide vacuum zone formed around her. At the edge of the vacuum zone, there were many people whose eyes were filled with fear and struggle. They all held weapons in their hands, but their hands were either trembling slightly or violently.
Clang! Clang!
2 silver swords appeared in the Sword Emperor's left and right hands. They were exactly the same as the 2 swords that had killed Long Tian Yun. The Sword Emperor moved, and a grey blur flashed like lightning, instantly disappearing from everyone's sight. Following this, 10 or so damage figures rose up, as well as 10 or so cries of pain. The grey blur once again moved, and the 2 swords danced. No one could see the Sword Emperor's swords clearly, because when she attacked, the swords in her hands seemed to disappear. In just a breath's time, another 10 or so players had died.
The Sword Emperor could instantly slash out 10 or so swords. This was not news to players in Hua Xia.
As the cries of pain sounded out, their companions fell one after another. Only then did the Yan Huang Alliance's players realise that the Sword Emperor was no longer the Yan Huang Alliance's Sword Emperor, but the Sword Emperor who had just killed Long Tian Yun. Being enemies with the Sword Emperor was terrifying, but right now, they had no choice but to raise their weapons against the Sword Emperor. After all, if the Sword Emperor didn't die, they would die.
The Yan Huang Alliance finally began to surround and attack the Sword Emperor. The densely packed army of players rushed towards the Sword Emperor like a tidal wave. From what they could see, with so many people, even the Sword Emperor would be exhausted to death.
The Sword Emperor was surrounded by enemies, and there were too many of them to count. At this moment, the Sword Emperor stopped moving. The two swords in her hands spun and flew in two different directions. Although there were only two swords, they were simply too fast. As they flew, they created tornado-like whistling sounds. Wherever they went, they were like two spinning sickles, instantly slicing through dozens of players' bodies, clearing two paths of corpses. After the 2 swords flew out 30 meters, they didn't fall, but instead suddenly changed direction, and swept towards the side with the most players, once again creating the terrifying sound of blades cutting through flesh.
At the same time, another 2 swords appeared in the Sword Emperor's hands, and were thrown out in the same manner. The 2 swords from before seemed to have a life of their own, and continued to slash at the players. Together with the 3rd and 4th swords, they created wave after wave of corpses.
At this moment, a fifth sword appeared in the Sword Emperor's hands. This sword wasn't silver, but the Celestial grade sword that the Sword Emperor had obtained after killing a Celestial grade Boss, [Flying Red Clouds]. It was the Sword Emperor's true weapon.
Wielding [Soaring Clouds Flowing Shadows], the Sword Emperor charged into the Yan Huang Alliance's dumbfounded players, who looked as if they had seen a ghost. She swung her sword, filling the sky with illusory swords, as if she was invincible. All players who were touched by the illusory swords instantly died. Even the Shield Bearers, who had the strongest Defense, were unable to withstand the [Soaring Clouds Flowing Shadows]. Around the Sword Emperor, 4 silver swords danced in the air within 30 meters of her. They spun, slashed, shot, or pierced. Their killing efficiency was incredibly terrifying. It was as if there were 4 Sword Emperors controlling them! Anyone who got within 30 meters of the Sword Emperor would be instantly killed by the sword closest to the Sword Emperor.
If a single Sword Emperor could face an army of 1,000, what about 5?
Wherever the Sword Emperor went, there were corpses everywhere. The Sword Emperor fell into the center of the Yan Huang Alliance's army. She wasn't throwing herself into a trap, but rather an unstoppable sharp sword that pierced into the hearts of the Yan Huang Alliance's army.
Real world, Beijing.
Because Long Tian Yun had intentionally spread the news, this battle naturally received a lot of attention. Almost all players were paying attention to the results of this battle.
When the news of the Sword Emperor's appearance spread, Xuanyuan Dao hurriedly opened his screen and searched for images of the Sword Emperor. Ever since the Sword Emperor had left that night, he hadn't heard from her again. Even now, he didn't know why she had done this. However, after all, blood was blood, and he hadn't heard from her for so long. How could he not worry about her?
When he finally found an image of the Sword Emperor, his body suddenly trembled as a look of shock and disbelief appeared on his face … after a while, he stretched out his trembling hands and rubbed his eyes again and again, moving his body closer and closer to the screen. However, he still couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Sword intent could be brought into the virtual world with one's mind, just like an esper's ability. This was something that most people knew. As such, the Sword Emperor was powerful because she was an expert in the way of the sword in the real world. The more powerful the sword intent in the real world, the more powerful the sword intent could be released in the virtual world. Conversely, the sword intent in the virtual world was the same as the sword intent in the real world.
Looking at the Sword Emperor charging left and right, as well as the 4 swords closely following her, as if there were invisible people controlling them, Xuanyuan Dao's heart madly beat like a drum.
He had already begun to understand the way of flying swords. As long as one's sword intent was strong enough, even if one's hand didn't touch the sword, they could still control it. However, looking at the Xuanyuan family's thousand years of history, there were very few people who could control swords with ease. There had never been anyone who could control swords before the age of 40.
And now, the Sword Emperor wasn't even 22 years old, but she was controlling swords … moreover, she wasn't just familiar with swords, because she was controlling 4 swords at the same time … no, including the one in her hand, there were 5 swords!! Under her sword intent, the 5 swords became the most terrifying killing weapons. She danced freely without any difficulty or awkwardness.
According to the Xuanyuan family's records, the Xuanyuan family's ancestor lived to be 300 years old, and at his peak, he could control 7 swords at the same time. He was a legend that the Xuanyuan family had never been able to reach. After the ancestor, there were a few geniuses who could control swords, but at most, they could only control 2 swords at the same time. Moreover, when controlling 2 swords at the same time, even if they had both hands, they wouldn't be able to control a third sword.
The Sword Emperor could truly control 5 swords at the same time!!
Xuanyuan Dao still remembered that the last time he had fought with her, she clearly didn't have the ability to control swords, and her sword intent and skills were slightly inferior to his. It had only been less than half a year since then!
"Is this true?" Xuanyuan Dao muttered to himself in a daze. As her father, he should be happy that she had reached this level, but her improvement was simply too monstrous. It was simply inconceivable. His shock was far greater than his joy.
"Just what did you encounter during this period of time … could it be that you really have to sever your emotions and desires to reach the legendary peak?"
