"So I already said there was something wrong with that guy!"
In the free world, in the Harlom Tavern in the Harlom area of Zaraha City, several players who have just been reborn are gathering at the gate where countless guild forces are running back and forth, using words that are enough to make everyone who passes by here. Loud voices could be heard arguing with each other: "It's okay if you don't pay attention, but you actually let him come in the end!"
"How could we have noticed that situation at that time? We were too late to get reinforcements, so how could we come up and kick out our teammates first?"
"Blind people, they are all blind! You usually look smart like a real thief, but why do you become so blind at the critical moment?"
"I'm a fighting thief! Why do I look so wretched? Besides, it's not like my eldest brother isn't there. Why should I see something that he didn't even see?"
"I said……"
After staring awkwardly for a long time, a guy squatting next to him who seemed to be a companion finally couldn't help but walked in front of the two of them: "We'll talk about Wei Guangzheng later. The old quarrels are nothing. There's no fight outside now." It’s so intense, we’re still waiting for you to lead the way…”
"It's impossible to lead the way. The underground pipe network is now full of people. I don't know who the bastard leaked the news. Now even those wild teams know that there is a teleportation port below..."
"Teleport? What teleport?"
"Of course it's the teleportation port above."
Raising his finger and pointing at the shadow of the huge city that was gradually blocking the sunlight, Feitianqixia spat vigorously towards the roadside: "There is a magic circle in the center of the underground pipe network. It is said to control the city. Some agencies, I don’t know who activated that device before, and I heard that everyone who walked in was teleported to other places.”
"Weizard's people have already taken control of that place, and I heard that Lueyi Guyan himself is also heading there quickly." His voice became deeper and deeper: "So it should be that place... x, it should have been there It’s just under our control.”
"If I had known this was the case, you should have just barged in." Tudou, who had been arguing with him, raised his hand pointing at the other person's nose again: "Even if it didn't get passed on, it would still be troublesome for those people from the big guilds. Okay!"
"Making trouble? We've been stalling in the underground passage for so long!" Feitianqixia pointed to his feet again and jumped up: "What else do you want? Let us rush up and hug their heels?"
"Forget it, I shouldn't have counted on you in the first place." Tudou, who pinched his nose, immediately turned his head: "Fortunately, I have invited so many reinforcements. They should be able to help us block it for a while... Hey, listen up Feng Yin, you should still remember it, right? It was that adventure group..."
"Damn it, you don't even remember the name of our Changfeng Adventure Group. How dare you say this?" The player who came up before interrupted the other player's words by hitting the back of his head: "Get out of the way." Get out of the way, I’m almost going to sound like a cocoon when I hear you guys bickering... When are you going to set off?"
"Wait, wait until the two guys from the void arrive." Tudou, who was covering his head, replied helplessly: "Yijiang Chunshui has arrived, now you should run forward to explore the news, Qing Xi The eldest sister is also waiting in the tavern, and the team members have not yet assembled..."
boom--
A loud explosion then appeared behind where the swordsman had just turned and pointed. Along with the scene of countless figures who were just about to enter and exit the tavern door being blown away, it rolled towards the distant sky. The sound belonged to a female player screaming angrily. Along with the sudden appearance of countless flames, the message spread throughout the square outside the tavern: "Do you really think that I am easy to bully? Kill him!"
"Yes! Big sister!"
The sound of swords clashing with each other, accompanied by the sound of tables and chairs being overturned, filled the air inside and outside the tavern. In front of the astonished eyes of several people, it turned into a chaotic scene of melee. Then, among the shadows of swords and swords that gradually submerged the entrance of the tavern, a streak of swords emerged. The embarrassed body extended into the alley next to it with the roars of countless players following it. Qie Tingfengyin and others, who had not recovered from the sudden battle that broke out in front of them, put away their fighting postures and wiped the sweat from their heads. He looked at Qing Xi who then walked out of the tavern. He shouted in that direction with an angry face, and then a gloating smile appeared on his lips: "It is indeed a chaotic city. They have already brought chaos to this place..."
"It's him!"
A loud shout sounded next to him, and at the same time, the figures of the fat thief and the potato swordsman jumped forward: "Yangtze River No. 7!"
"Catch him! Catch him! That guy is a traitor! He must have - well, why is he here?"
"That guy came back!"
The eyes suddenly became excited, and several other team captains who were stranded in the same place shouted in unison. Their originally hesitant footsteps also followed the backs of the two people who had already run far away in front of them, running towards Yangtze River No. 7. The direction caught up. The escape chase from a corner of Zaraha City then gradually spread towards the center of the city, attracting more and more players who are currently fighting in the city. They belong to different camps and originally focused on their respective The opponent's attention was then attracted by the rumors coming from that direction, and they involuntarily focused on the shadow of the city that was getting bigger and bigger above their heads: "... Someone has already boarded the city? And they even came back. ?”
"This city definitely has unexpected secrets, and it's only a matter of time before someone discovers them."
With one sword, he flew away the enemy standing in front of him. The warrior named Ten Directions Destruction Great Sword then replied in a low voice: "What's more, this city has been studied so much under our noses." It has been a long time, and now it is very normal for them to get there first."
"...Are you from Wings of Freedom?"
The heavy shield made a big hole in the ancient floor between the cities. The sky barrier stood upright and asked calmly: "I heard that the restorationists were behind this incident..."
"The situation is hard to say, boss." Shifang Juannie, who was responsible for guarding the front, shook his head: "Based on the information obtained so far, the scene in front of me looks more like what the restorers of the ancient magic empire did. , but...it also contains many unnatural places."
"You mean...it's them?"
"Of course, every version should have a new boss. Except for a lot of railways that appear inexplicably, there is no boss force that can be beaten in the new levels and new versions we have opened."
"If you calculate the time... it should appear by now."
Holding the shield and turning around, Sky Barrier, who was looking up as countless imperial soldiers were running around, then placed his eyes on the sky connected with emerald green silk threads: "They have already won a city in Fenghua Town, and now …”
"Are you planning to use the Sky City as a medium to completely stand on the stage of the free world?"
As if feeling the sigh of the big shield warrior, the ominous aura that the black light pillar in the center of the sky was still exuding seemed to become more and more intense, and the ever-expanding black surface was also surrounding it. Under the background of the battlefield atmosphere, it becomes more and more solid, and at the same time, the vague and illusory images are reflected more and more clearly. As the distance between the players besieging the central square gradually narrowed, their fighting figures were gradually reflected in such images. The cylindrical mirror mixed with the surging magic light and sword energy also gradually moved upward along the black light column. It continues to extend into the sky, and finally converges into the image of a spire at a height parallel to the Sky City.
The next moment, the phantom of the tower was shot into fragments all over the sky by a laser that suddenly flew over the sky city, and scattered in the opposite direction of the floating city.
"I didn't expect you to actually be able to do this..."
Duan Feng Lei, who dodged the laser attack and looked back at the scene, turned his head in mid-air: "It's pretty good, Moshang Qingshan."
"...If you would stop harassing me, I might be more calm than I am now."
Duan Qing, who was still guarding the top of the hall cross-legged and sitting crosswise, looked at the black beam of light that seemed to be getting closer: "This is a waste of each other's time, you guys who like pppppvp."
"To deal with an opponent like you, this level of cooperation should be considered normal."
His body suddenly flashed behind Duan Qing, and Duan Shanhe's words and the punch he delivered hit Duan Qing's vest: "Judging from the current situation... you seem to be the one with the advantage."
In the light and shadow of the faint white glow that suddenly shattered into ice, the scene of the iron fist and the back intersecting then turned into an instant time travel, and the figure of Duan Qing, who had turned into a virtual image with his eyes closed and concentrated, then became solid again. , slapped the opponent on the back with a palm: "I've explained to you the dangers of Yi Jian, but you are still like this..."
"You are seeking wealth and death."
The ring-shaped ripples then spread around with the scene of broken mountains and rivers being slapped away by a palm, forming an invisible palm print along Duan Qing's palm, and a brilliant ice-colored light flew from the horizon. The outline of the compressed and deformed air that penetrated it shot straight towards Duan Qing's forehead with a heart-stopping cold light. Duan Qing sighed again in his heart. Duan Qing, who was sitting with his palms closed, then slashed the blood-colored sword in his hand through the ice thorn that was about to pierce his skull. Then, as the ice crystals turned into powder in the air, He turned around and slashed an arc of light behind him: "It's just that we have such good cooperation in such a short period of time..."
"I want to commend you for your sense of cooperation."
"...Whatever you say is fine."
The blood-colored sword edge and the invisible dagger intertwined to create a bright spark in the air, and then the posture of Baili Duyou, who was pushed back with one hand on the ground, was reflected on the roof of the hall behind Duan Qing: "Even if No matter how strong you are now, I won't take a step back."
"Oh? It seems that you are still a little aware."
Once again, he used a few random volleys to disperse the black fog that gradually enveloped the surroundings. Duan Qing's voice contained a somewhat mocking smile: "I thought you would still be so arrogant and domineering because of the legendary weapon. Coming..."
"As for legendary weapons... the one you have should be the same, right?"
In the alternating sounds of slow footsteps and gloomy words, Mephisto's figure slowly appeared at the top of the hall behind Duan Qing: "I have never seen such a bloody sword in the free world... …Were they found from this city?”
"...This is the relic left here by Emperor Frey."
Duan Qing made a gesture of stroking the sword and ignored the enemies who were gradually surrounding him. He focused his gaze on Luoyang's blade: "Maybe that's why I pulled it out of the hall. This The city has started the landing process..."
"...It was Fleur who sealed this city a thousand years ago?" Duan Fenglei, who was approaching again with his hands behind his back, stood on the square below the main hall and whispered: "Your exploration progress... seems to be faster than ours. It’s much faster than I imagined.”
"I warn you again, it is very dangerous to continue moving forward now." Duan Qing raised his eyebrows: "This is not because I am worried that my exploration results will be stolen, but to... protect this city. integrity and security.”
"So why are you protecting it?" Nifeng Youran, who slowly appeared in front of Duan Qing, let out a few disdainful chuckles: "Why... aren't we protecting him?"
"The black beam of light has become stronger and stronger."
Looking at Duan Qing's silent expression, the short-haired and blue-shirted Duan Shanhe then occupied the last blank area around Duan Qing: "Facing the threat of those extremely vicious people, your strength alone...is obviously better than ours. The sum total is much worse.”
"If the distribution of benefits can be generally approved, temporary cooperation is not impossible." The black-robed Mephisto then let out a few deep jeering laughs: "That organization is so powerful, when you were in Fenghua Town We've all seen it before, and now all your trump cards have been handed over, but our trump cards haven't been put on the table yet..."
"...I have forgotten that there are still you guys who have taken refuge in the Restorationists."
Looking at the black light standing in the sky not far away, Duan Qing's eyes finally turned back to him: "Why, are you ready to abandon your position for this city again?"
"This is not our suggestion, but our choice." Mephisto replied with a smile: "Otherwise..."
"I'm afraid what you are about to lose is not as simple as everything in front of you."
As if he was talking about some obscure hint, Duan Qing's eyes gradually turned cold and silent. He looked at the face of the player still hidden under the hood, and slowly raised his head. The blood-red sword blade in his hand. A faint bloody light then extended upward from the blood-red sword with the gathering of some unknown forces, and gradually appeared behind Duan Qing. The originally chaotic shadow gradually formed a figure wearing a golden crown on his head. The slender entity wearing a blood-red armor looks like a blood god of war with Shura as his body: "Is this a sword spirit? That's fine..."
"That's my answer."
