Chapter 234 Chaos
"Qingfeng, you take a rest first, I'll take over for you!" A healer player came over, took over Tianxia·Qingfeng's position, and released a healing light. Tianxia·Qingfeng nodded, leaned against the city wall, and quickly drank a bottle of spiritual energy potion to restore his spiritual energy.
Before he could recover, a Western dragon suddenly swooped down, its claws reaching for him. Tianxia Qingfeng's expression changed, and he tried to dodge, but it was too late. At this critical moment, Tianxia Guiyi rushed over, swung his longsword, and severed the dragon's claws. He pulled Tianxia Qingfeng back, but Tianxia Guiyi's back was scratched by the dragon's claws, and blood gushed out.
"Guild Master!" Tianxia·Qingfeng shouted, his eyes filled with guilt. Tianxia·Guiyi smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said firmly, "It's nothing, just a minor injury. Keep fighting!"
The players from the Lin Yuan Guild were still responsible for collecting monster cores and corpses, but at this moment, the battlefield was too chaotic, and they had no way to collect them in peace. They could only dodge monster attacks while taking the opportunity to collect cores, which put them in a very difficult situation.
"Guild Leader Hanjiang! We can't hold on much longer! There are too many monsters, we have no way to collect the cores!" A player from Linyuan shouted as he ran away, with a fire demon chasing after him, spewing raging flames from its mouth.
Lin Yuan Han Jiang, longbow in hand, fired arrows incessantly, each one striking the Flame Demon's vital points with pinpoint accuracy, slaying it. Then, he shouted to the players around him, "Everyone, temporarily abandon collecting cores, focus all your efforts on fighting the monsters, and save yourselves first!"
The players nodded in agreement, abandoning their efforts to collect the cores, picking up their weapons, and joining the battle. Together with players from other guilds, they fought valiantly against the monsters' attacks.
The Azure Dragon continued to circle in the sky, constantly letting out dragon roars. Its dragon claws slammed down on the Western evil dragons and infernal creatures time and time again. However, there were too many Western evil dragons, and the Angel race was also interfering from the side. Although the Azure Dragon was powerful, it gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. Its scales had been cut in several places by the dragon's breath and sword energy, and blood kept dripping down.
"Azure Dragon, hold on! We're here to help you!" Mad Blade War God roared, brandishing his longsword and unleashing a massive blade of energy towards a Western dragon to help Azure Dragon out of its predicament. But just as he made his move, he was targeted by an ancient giant, whose stone hammer slammed down on him. Mad Blade War God's expression changed, and he hurriedly dodged, but he was still struck by the aftershock of the stone hammer and was sent flying, his blood and qi plummeting.
The entire battlefield is completely out of control.
The Western dragons and angels fought endlessly, the infernal creatures besieged the City of Heaven, and the ancient giants rampaged through the land. Players struggled to hold on amidst the monster hordes, suffering heavy casualties. The white light at the resurrection point rose and fell almost constantly.
Originally, Wei Yu was the core of this Heavenly City and the reliance of all players. But now, he could only sit on the lotus, his eyes unfocused and his mind in a daze. Looking at the chaos in front of him, he began to stare blankly.
He wanted to intervene, to take control of the situation, and to save the players who were struggling, but his soul was being disturbed by an invisible force, making it impossible for him to concentrate. Even gathering spiritual energy became difficult, let alone attacking the monsters.
He watched the players fighting bloody battles, watched the players constantly dying and resurrecting, watched Qinglong fight alone and gradually fall into a disadvantageous position, and his heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness.
He was clearly the chosen one, possessed immense power, and was the hope of all the players. Yet, at this moment, he could do nothing but watch helplessly as the players were slaughtered by monsters and the walls of the City of Heaven were gradually destroyed.
"Why... why..." Wei Yu murmured, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment. The fragmented images in his mind became clearer and clearer. In the shadows, he seemed to see a huge black shadow controlling everything behind the scenes. He, and all the players, were just pawns of this shadow, being played with in the palm of its hand.
He recalled the previous system announcement, the completion of the City of Heaven, the bizarre siege, and the four forces before him. It all seemed to be meticulously planned, step by step, pushing him and all the players into the abyss of despair.
"No... something's wrong..." Wei Yu tried hard to concentrate, to find the mastermind behind this and to break the deadlock, but his mind was still hazy, and the chaos in his mind was getting worse and worse, as if he would lose consciousness completely in the next second.
The chaos continues on the battlefield.
A player was struck by the breath of a Western dragon and instantly incinerated. The respawn point flashed white light, and upon respawning, without hesitation, he picked up his weapon again and charged back into the battlefield, shouting, "I'll fight you to the death! Even if I die, I'll take a few of you down with me!"
A healer player was captured by a demon from the underworld, whose heart was crushed. After being resurrected, she did not give up and continued to release healing light. Even when her spiritual energy was exhausted and she died again and again, she did not back down in the slightest. She knew that her healing could bring hope to the players.
Mad Blade War God struggled to his feet, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and swung his long blade once more as he charged toward the ancient giant. His body was covered in wounds, and he had little blood left, but his eyes remained resolute. He knew that as long as he lived, he would never give up and would never allow the monster to breach the City of Heaven.
The leaders of the four major guilds—Dynasty Dragon Lord, Pest Termite, World Unity, and Abyss Cold River—continued to lead their guilds in a fierce resistance against the monsters' attacks. Despite being covered in wounds, they did not retreat. They knew that they were the leaders of the players, and they could not fall. If they fell, the players would completely collapse, and Heavenly City would be completely breached.
The Azure Dragon Divine Beast let out a deafening roar, and its entire body erupted with azure light. It suddenly swooped down, its dragon claws slamming down on a six-winged angel. The six-winged angel's expression changed, and it hurriedly brandished its longsword to block the Azure Dragon's attack. The golden light collided with the azure light, creating a huge explosion. Both were blasted away and seriously injured.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the evil dragon from the west launched an attack, spewing out its dragon breath towards the azure dragon. The azure dragon was unable to dodge in time and was hit by the dragon breath. Its body was instantly burned, blood dripped continuously, and its breath grew weaker and weaker.
"Azure Dragon, boss!" the players shouted, wanting to rush over to help, but they were surrounded by monsters and had no way to get close. They could only watch helplessly as Azure Dragon endured the attacks of the Western dragons and the angels alone.
Looking at everything before him, Wei Yu felt an increasing sense of powerlessness. His gaze became more and more unfocused, and his sense of mental disorientation reached its peak. He even began to doubt whether he could truly defend the City of Heaven and whether he could truly save all the players.
He watched as the players who trusted him were slaughtered by monsters one by one, watched the walls of the City of Heaven crumble bit by bit, watched the Azure Dragon fight alone and gradually fall into a disadvantageous position, but he could do nothing but watch helplessly and stare blankly.
"Chosen One! Wake up! We need you!"
"Chosen One! Stop standing there! Make your move!"
The shouts of the players kept reaching Wei Yu's ears, but he seemed not to hear them. His eyes remained unfocused as he stared blankly at the chaos before him, his mind a complete blank.
He didn't know what to do, how to control the situation, or how to save all the players.
On the battlefield, the fighting continued, and the casualties among the players grew increasingly heavy. Countless huge cracks appeared on the walls of the City of Heaven, and it was in danger of being completely crushed at any moment. The battle between the Western dragons and the angels was also becoming more and more intense, and the infernal creatures and ancient giants continued to attack the City of Heaven relentlessly.
Clearly, this was no longer a situation that Wei Yu could control.
Just then, a huge black shadow suddenly emerged from the crack in the sky. Its massive size enveloped the entire City of Heaven, emanating an extreme aura of darkness that made people feel suffocated. It made no move, simply hovering there silently, its cold gaze looking down at the battlefield below, as if watching a farce.
Wei Yu's gaze inadvertently fell on the dark figure. Instantly, his soul trembled violently, and the dazed feeling in his mind vanished, replaced by extreme fear and palpitations.
He finally understood.
He understood why Western dragons, angels, infernal creatures, and ancient giants appeared here at the same time; he understood why those strange monsters were so bizarre; he understood why his soul was in a daze; he understood that all of this was being controlled by this dark figure behind the scenes!
This dark figure is the real mastermind, the instigator of this siege!
And they, all the players, as well as the Azure Dragon, the Angel, the Western Evil Dragon, the Purgatory Creatures, and the Ancient Giant, were all just pawns of this shadowy figure, manipulated at its mercy. This siege was nothing more than a game it had meticulously planned, a game where lives were the stakes!
"Who...are you..." Wei Yu asked with difficulty, his voice trembling. The golden light around him surged again, this time carrying a trace of extreme fear and anger.
