In terms of individual combat ability and self-protection ability, Ling Chen surpassed Xi Ling, but in terms of area of effect attacks, even ten Ling Chen's couldn't compare to Xi Ling's.
The new Xi Ling's [Heavenly Burning Fire Spell] was not the same as before. The instant it was activated, the entire sky above the plains was dyed crimson red, and the rain of fire turned into a catastrophic storm, covering an area of 400 meters in diameter and swallowing up close to 50,000 attacking players.
The crimson flames continued to burn gracefully, slowly spreading outwards. The 50,000 players howled in pain within the flames, but they could only scream once before they were unable to make another sound. Their bodies collapsed within the flames, turning into charred corpses.
The players at the edge of the Scarlet Skyfire Formation were so scared that their guts were about to explode. They no longer cared about the direction of the siege as they scrambled backward. Their eyes widened as they stared blankly at the corpses of their companions that littered the ground. Suddenly, another phoenix cry came from the sky, and what followed was a large expanse of flames of despair.
After Xi Ling's [Wild Flames] evolved into [Heavenly Burning Flames], its power and area of effect were not inferior to Ling Chen's ultimate skills, but its cooldown time was only a short 5 seconds. On this battlefield where there were many enemies, [Heavenly Burning Flames] was like a terrifying meat grinder. Every time it was used, thousands of players would be engulfed in a sea of flames. Xi Ling's flames could even insta-kill a Lord Boss of a similar level, let alone normal players. Without any suspense, any player that was touched by Xi Ling's flames died instantly, and they didn't even have the chance to struggle.
[Heavenly Burning Flames], [Phoenix Arrow], [Judgement of the Vermillion Bird], these were the three most common flame skills that Xi Ling used, turning the area in front of the new city into a sea of flames that never went out. The sky was a deep red, and the attacking players howled as they were burned. The number of players that died every second was a terrifying number.
Ever since Ling Tian appeared … No, to be more precise, ever since Xi Ling made her move, there had only been a one-sided massacre. Many players who were far away didn't even know what was happening before they were suddenly incinerated by the flames that descended from the sky. They didn't even know how they died. On the other hand, after Ling Chen released a [Extinguish the Heavens and Decimate the Earth Tempest] to stun everyone, and then released two [Boundless Desolation], he didn't make any more moves … Because he didn't even have the time to make a move, the enemies in front of him had already been wiped out by Xi Ling's flames … He rushed towards the enemies in front of him … But before he could get close, Xi Ling released a [Burning Flame], and the players fifty meters in front of him turned into ashes. Then, she released a [Phoenix Arrow], and the players two hundred meters away all died in a scream.
With Xi Ling's attack efficiency, unless she stopped, Ling Chen wouldn't even be able to kill a single enemy.
Ling Chen could only stop as he watched Xi Ling's performance. At the same time, he couldn't help but think … Back when Xi Ling was here, he didn't have to do anything to level up. This was because as soon as Xi Ling used her flames, all of the monsters that had just spawned would be killed, and he wouldn't even have the chance to attack. Now that Xi Ling had returned … history was about to repeat itself.
"Wow! Xi Ling really is Xi Ling. Even after becoming a pet, she's still so powerful! " Xiao Qi excitedly jumped up and down. She knew about Xi Ling's origins, and was the only person who had seen Xi Ling being reborn under the Vermillion Bird's flames.
"How the hell is this a pet … even a final boss wouldn't be this ridiculous." Judging Sky and Against The Sky's mouths were wide open as their eyes stared in shock.
"Ling Tian, Xi Ling, I'll leave everything to you. Do your best," Yun Meng Xin said softly as she clenched her fists.
On the other side, the eyes of the leaders of the large guilds were about to pop out of their sockets, and their mouths and stomachs were filled with cold air. That ridiculously beautiful bird was simply a terrifying killing machine. In less than half a minute, tens of thousands of people had died. Moreover, it was flying at an altitude of 50 metres, and even arrows couldn't reach it. If they used flying pets to attack, they wouldn't even be able to get close … they would all be burnt to ashes.
Long Tian Yun's eyes burned. Ling Chen was already incredibly terrifying, but this pet that followed him was even more terrifying than him. This caused his chest to explode with fear and jealousy. In this sort of situation, no matter how many people they had, they wouldn't be able to kill Ling Tian. He took out his communication device and roared, "Everyone, split up! Extend the attack line to 3 kilometres! Don't worry about Ling Tian and that bird; attack the new city with all of your strength! "
Under Long Tian Yun's order, the densely packed troops started to disperse. The square formation gradually expanded into a square formation that was several times bigger than the original one. This change caused Li Xiao Xue and the others' expressions to change.
"Crap." Yun Feng's expression darkened, "Before, when we were fighting against the Skyfall Dynasty's army, splitting up like this was a stupid move. However, now … the Skyfall Dynasty and Battle Alliance have been completely destroyed, and only Ling Tian is blocking them. Even if we add in our people, there are less than 10 of us. How can we stop such a long attack line?"
"Splitting up will greatly reduce the effectiveness of Xi Ling's attacks. With the range of Xi Ling's attacks … unless there are 30 or more Xi Ling's, they won't be able to stop her. No matter how tough a boulder is, it can only stop a small stream; it can't stop a wide river. " Li Xiao Xue frowned as she said, "However, we can only see how Ling Tian deals with this … I believe that he won't disappoint us."
"Block them? How? Could he create thousands or tens of thousands of clones? "Skyfall asked anxiously.
The attacking army's movements caused Ling Chen to immediately become wary, and he frowned.
Out of all of his skills, the one with the largest range was [Moon Sacrifice], which only had half of its power and range, and the second was [Extinguishing the Heavens and Destroying the Earth Tempest]. However, even Moon Sacrifice only had a range of 500 metres, and facing the attacking army's attack line, it would only be able to stop them for a short period of time. Moreover, if he blocked the middle, he wouldn't be able to protect the sides, and if he blocked the sides, he wouldn't be able to protect the middle or the other side. If he blocked one position, the other attacking players would be able to quickly break through the wall of vines and enter the new city. When that time came, there would be no stopping them … because Xi Ling's Rootless Flames had a Destruction attribute, if she continued to recklessly release it, not only would the attacking players be incinerated, but the new city as well!
If he had enough time, he was 100% confident that he would be able to kill everyone here without taking any damage. However, this was completely different from stopping so many people from entering the new city.
The most direct way to resolve this situation was to have Xi Ling release the Heavenly Wrath of the Nine Suns. Under the Heavenly Wrath of the Nine Suns, everyone here would die. However, Xi Ling would also be severely punished. Although it wouldn't be like before, her maximum HP and level would greatly decrease.
In that case …
"Snow Cherry, let's go!"
Snow Cherry rose into the air and flew to the highest point. Looking around from above, the Yan Huang Alliance and the other attacking guilds quickly spread out. After stretching out to 3 kilometres, they started to head south towards the new city. The only thing stopping them was Xi Ling, who was in the middle … within 200 metres of Xi Ling, not a single player would be able to get close. However, it was only 200 metres, which was less than 10% of their attack range. Although Xi Ling's attack range was incredibly large, it was impossible for her to completely block everything within 3 kilometres.
The attacking players came closer and closer, and in the blink of an eye, they were only 20 or 30 metres away from the wall of vines. In a few more seconds, their attacks would land on the wall of vines. After destroying the wall of vines, they would be unstoppable. At the back of the attacking players, Long Tian Yun's wild laughter sounded out, "Hahahaha, Ling Tian, prepare to personally see this new city turn to dust!!"
Ling Chen hovered in the air for a long time, his gaze fixed on the attacking players coming closer and closer to the new city. He could hear Long Tian Yun's wild laughter, as well as Meng Xin and the others' nervous cries.
You've forced me to do this …
Just as the attacking players arrived in front of the wall of vines and started to attack, Ling Chen's squinted eyes suddenly opened, and he raised his right hand high into the air, his palm facing the sky. His body suddenly exploded with a deep purple light.
"Nirvana Lightning!"
Crack!!!
Ling Chen's roar seemed to shatter the heavens. The instant the lightning around his body was released, a heaven-shaking clap of thunder sounded out. When everyone looked up, they were shocked to find that the sky, which had been dyed red by Xi Ling's flames, had become a terrifying black-purple colour, and countless bolts of purple lightning madly shot down!
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack … …
Lightning was common in the real world. In the virtual world, there were countless lightning-type Mages. However, none of the people present had ever seen such terrifying lightning. The lightning that filled the sky was extremely dazzling, and it crazily struck down on different areas of the battlefield. Every bolt of lightning was accompanied by an explosion, and every explosion caused hundreds of players to instantly die.
The lightning wasn't uniform or regular, but the area it covered was terrifyingly large. With Ling Chen's body as the center, lightning crazily struck down in an area of 4 kilometres. From the first sound of thunder to the last bolt of lightning exploding on the ground, less than 5 seconds had passed. However, over 1,000 bolts of lightning had struck down, killing nearly 100,000 players.
This was the first time Ling Chen had used the power of the Lightning God's Bulwark. The Lightning God's Bulwark could absorb lightning for its own use. When the White Tiger gave him the Lightning God's Bulwark, it contained a portion of the White Tiger's source power. In the Lightning God's Bulwark, Ling Chen had absorbed a lot of lightning power. At this moment, when he released the lightning separately, the effect was far better than he had expected.
Moreover, the lightning that he had released just now had consumed less than one-twentieth of the total amount of lightning in the Lightning God's Bulwark!
The corners of Ling Chen's mouth curled up slightly, and another bolt of lightning erupted from his body. The sky exploded, and over 1,000 bolts of lightning struck down.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Boom! Boom … …
After a pause of only a few seconds, the second wave of lightning disaster arrived, and it was several times crazier than the first wave. The sky was densely covered with lightning vortexes, and they shot down purple rays of light without any regard for their lives. The roar of the lightning was deafening, but it couldn't cover the terrified screams of the countless players attacking the city. Under the divine might of nature, all they could do was cover their heads and run like rats, and scream in fear. The overlapping terrifying roars were enough to scare off the millions of wolves on the grassland.
After the second wave came the third wave, and after the third wave came the fourth wave … … the fifth wave … … the sixth wave … …
The entire grassland in front of the new city turned into a lightning purgatory. Every second, the lightning of disaster flashed, like countless ferocious beasts, crazily and mercilessly devouring one life after another. With the continuous release of the [Nirvana Lightning], the lightning power in the Lightning God's Bulwark also decreased rapidly. After the ninth wave, it had dropped to about half, and the raging lightning finally stopped.
Under the nine waves of [Nirvana Lightning] that covered an area of four kilometers, there were less than one-fifth of the players still alive in the four kilometers in front of the new city. Those players who were lucky enough not to be struck were so scared that they didn't even know how to walk. The players who had attacked the vine wall with great difficulty completely forgot to attack. Their lips and faces were pale, and they trembled and collapsed on the ground, not daring to move. Their dilated pupils trembled as they looked at the sky, for fear that the next bolt of lightning would strike their heads.
After the lightning stopped, there was a terrifying silence. No matter if it was the attacking side or the defending side, everyone held their breath and looked at Ling Chen in the sky as if they were petrified … … At this moment, in their eyes, although he had the appearance of a human and the identity of a player, they couldn't define him as a human at all … … but a demon, a demon god!
On the ground, Long Tian Yun's face was as red as blood. Under the attack of anger, blood kept surging in his chest, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. At this moment, he couldn't even say a complete sentence. Only his hands and feet were trembling as if they were spasming, and he looked like he had just been raped by a dozen burly men. It was no wonder that he lost his composure, because under the terrifying lightning, millions of people on their side died … … more than a million!!
The huge advantage in numbers gave him the utmost confidence. He didn't doubt Ling Tian's strength, but he believed that even if there were a thousand Ling Tian's here, they wouldn't be able to kill all four million players before they destroyed the new city.
But … … even if the army was twice as large, they couldn't withstand the deaths of millions of players.
