At noon, they logged in.
"Swish!"
The character appeared in Tianji City. After quickly repairing and organizing equipment, supplies, and so on, everything was ready. A large number of players were already surging towards the north. Lin Zhao frowned and glanced south towards Yun Xiang Lou. The most beautiful woman in Da Shang, the flower queen of Yun Zhou, was there. Lin Zhao believed he had not betrayed righteousness, but to some extent, he had indeed failed Shi Han Yin. However, this was unavoidable.
It was time to depart!
In the city, Shen Xing Chen, Chen Xue, Luo Man, Mo Chen Xue, Ding Chi, and others were already waiting. As Lin Zhao turned, everyone rose into the air one by one and stepped onto flying magical treasures. Ding Chi and Zhang Jun used flying swords, Shen Xing Chen used a warm jade pendant, and Chen Xue and Luo Man used a medium-grade sharp shield. They rode towards the north, carrying swords and spears, appearing steady and composed.
"A Zhao, let's go!" Ding Chi called out.
"Hmm, coming!"
Lin Zhao also rose into the air, chasing after them on his flying sword Hong Ye. In an instant, the members of the Crimson Moon Knight Guild studio transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards the north. In less than five minutes, they arrived outside a golden barrier. Eight Yun Zhou cultivators were guarding the barrier. They were also the NPCs who opened the Ancient Dragon Marsh map. They all frowned, their expressions stern and unwavering. Da Feng Novel Network.
At exactly twelve o'clock, they could enter the Ancient Dragon Marsh map by speaking with these NPCs.
At this moment, outside the territory of the Ancient Dragon Marsh, countless players had gathered. Although it was a map opened in Yun Zhou, it was server-wide. The Yun Zhou map seemed to have been quiet for a long time. Numerous guilds had gathered, and behind Lin Zhao, Chen Xue, Shen Xing Chen, and the others were nearly 20,000 elite players from the Crimson Moon Knight Guild, exuding an air of powerful military might. Further away, Leng Yan, clad in armor, rode a white warhorse, holding a long sword and leading tens of thousands of elite Sheng Tian players, also possessing the aura of a feudal lord.
In a line, guilds such as Xing He, Cang Long, Xun Xian, Wu Wang, and Lin Yuan Xian Yu were arrayed. These guilds were the backbone of the Human race's player faction, the true pillars of the human world. Further away were some guilds that had joined the four northern tribes, such as the Sheng Shi Mu Dan guild with its Sword Immortal Iron Cavalry, and the Han Ye Chang guild that had joined the Demon race, as well as Cang Zhi Knight Guild, Quan Yuan E Ren, and others. These guilds dared not approach the NPCs and could only observe from afar. They would only dare to enter after the Human race's main guilds like Xing He, Cang Long, Sheng Tian, and Crimson Moon Knight Guild had entered the map, otherwise, they would face a deadly threat. Lin Zhao, Su Xing He, Leng Yan, Yi Shi Cang Liang, and others never tolerated these enemy guilds; they would kill them if necessary.
Lin Zhao sat on the red glow of his flying sword Hong Ye, arms crossed, looking coldly at his surroundings. In the distance, he saw the figures of peak players like Guo Ke Wu Ming, Ling Ren Fa Zhi, Ben Mo Ruo, and Ding Dang Mao, who had joined the Demon race's world. That group was hidden in the distant jungle. Although their figures were concealed, they still did not escape Lin Zhao's eyes.
It seemed that those few people intended to enter the map through one of the three entrances, numbers six, seven, or eight.
"Mo Yin!"
Lin Zhao called out.
"Boss!"
A shadowy figure answered and emerged from the void, appearing in front of Lin Zhao. It was Mo Yin, the chief assassin of the Crimson Moon Knight Guild. Mo Yin's level and equipment were now among the best for assassin professions in the national server. Coupled with the "tempering" by Chen Xue, Shen Xing Chen, Ding Chi, and others, Mo Yin's individual combat strength was already capable of standing alone. He looked solemn and asked, "Boss, what are your orders?"
"Provide me with some intelligence."
Lin Zhao said, "I will enter the Ancient Dragon Marsh map first with everyone later. You don't rush to leave. Go and scout Guo Ke Wu Ming's group. Keep in constant contact with me, confirm which entrance Guo Ke Wu Ming and the others use to enter the map, and I will go to the entrance of the first level of the Ancient Dragon Marsh map to guard them. I will kill one for each who comes, preemptively dismantling the threat that Guo Ke Wu Ming's group poses to the national server."
"Okay, leave it to me."
Mo Yin smiled slightly, took a step back, and vanished into the void, disappearing without a trace.
...
Shen Xing Chen's beautiful eyes swept over Lin Zhao and asked, "What about the other guilds? Chang Ye Yu Huo, Quan Yuan E Ren, Sheng Shi Mu Dan, Cang Zhi Knight Guild. These few will definitely enter the map too."
"Let's see what the other guilds say."
Lin Zhao frowned. "We will definitely clear them out. Why should these traitors enjoy the fruits of a map spawned by our Human race? Including Sheng Shi Mu Dan, they all need to be eliminated. However, the most troublesome of these guilds should be Sheng Shi Mu Dan. Their Sword Immortal Iron Cavalry is quite formidable, and their charge combat power is incredibly strong. It's difficult to suppress them with just one or two guilds. Xing Chen, go and discuss with the people from Xing He, Cang Long, Sheng Tian, Xun Xian, and other guilds. If we can concentrate our forces, let's concentrate them to clear them out, and try to reserve all the resources of the Ancient Dragon Marsh for our Human race players, so that those people don't take advantage."
"Got it. They also have this intention. They are just waiting for our word."
"Alright."
Lin Zhao nodded. "When you fight Sheng Shi Mu Dan, call me. I'll be the vanguard for everyone."
"Good!"
Shen Xing Chen smiled joyfully. Lin Zhao was willing to join the operation, which made her, Shen Xing Chen, very happy.
...
At twelve o'clock sharp, a bell rang through the air, and the Ancient Dragon Marsh map was immediately opened.
"Swish!"
Lin Zhao immediately spoke with the number four Yun Zhou cultivator in front of him, and his body was enveloped in a golden light, falling into the first level of the Ancient Dragon Marsh map. Around him, countless streaks of light rained down, and numerous Crimson Moon Knight Guild players were also teleported in. Lin Zhao quickly checked the first level map. The map was large, and the entrance locations looked like eight valleys embedded in the southern end of the map. He was currently in the fourth valley. Without hesitation, he drew his sword and flew directly towards the mouths of the three valleys, numbers six, seven, and eight.
"Boss."
In the team channel for two people, Mo Yin said, "Guo Ke Wu Ming and Ling Ren Fa Zhi have made a move. They are rushing forward with a group of Demon race players, heading towards entrance number eight."
"Understood."
Lin Zhao sped towards it on his flying sword. In less than two minutes, he reached the sky above the mouth of valley number eight. Looking down, countless players were surging into the large map. Most of the players who were teleported in refreshed in an area of about 100x100. Lin Zhao drew his sword, Li Quan, and stood above the treetops in this area, using the cover of the branches to patiently wait.
"Boss."
Mo Yin said solemnly, "Guo Ke Wu Ming has entered the NPC dialogue effective area and may teleport at any moment. Ling Ren Fa Zhi and Ben Mo Ruo are also close."
"Understood."
Lin Zhao held his breath and waited quietly. A second later, with a "swish," a light shone down into the valley. Clad in a formidable armor and wielding a blood-red long sword, it was Guo Ke Wu Ming. Beside him, two other lights flickered: Ben Mo Ruo, also a sword master, and Ling Ren Fa Zhi, a mage, had also arrived. All of them were Demon race players, exuding a bloody demonic aura.
Now was the time.
"Swish—"
A Divine Speed Talisman ignited in Lin Zhao's hand. In an instant, his entire body felt much lighter, and the speed at which surrounding players teleported into the map seemed to slow down. The next moment, Lin Zhao flashed forward and struck Guo Ke Wu Ming with a heavy Rising Dragon Slash, sending him flying into the air. First, he had to prevent Guo Ke Wu Ming from being invincible. Then, Lin Zhao turned and landed a heavy punch on Ben Mo Ruo's abdomen, causing his mouth to open wide and his eyes to bulge almost out of their sockets.
At the same time, a stream of light flew out from Yun Jian Lake, transforming into a blazing flame. It was the "Ghost Cry" attack of the flying sword Xin Huo. Guo Ke Wu Ming's eyes widened in shock and unwillingness. He never expected Lin Zhao to resort to such extreme measures as camping and ambushing, nor did he expect that in the dignified Ancient Dragon Marsh map, he would be killed upon entry. When would he be able to enter this map again? Perhaps not for another month.
With a soft sound, Guo Ke Wu Ming's chest was pierced by the flying sword Xin Huo, dealing a shocking 560,000+ damage. The formidable figure who had once roamed the Northern Region grunted and was instantly killed, falling from his sword. At the same time, the Ephemeral Fly swords in Lin Zhao's orange gourd flew out like a school of fish, cleansing Ben Mo Ruo's body. Before Ben Mo Ruo could recover from the "earthly leap" knock-up effect, his health had already dropped by more than half. Lin Zhao then waved his hand, and five immortal swords transformed into five streams of light that shot through, followed by a Heaven and Earth Toss. In an instant, Ben Mo Ruo, who had once wreaked havoc in the Northern Region, was instantly killed.
"Not good!"
Ling Ren Fa Zhi exclaimed in shock, but it was too late. Golden light flashed behind him, and another Demon race mage, "Ding Dang Mao," had also entered. Even a Demon race mage named "Lei Lei Lei Lei Lei" had teleported in. The three mages stared at Lin Zhao in dumbfounded disbelief, while Lin Zhao, with a thought, made his flying sword Hao Ran erect a small Hao Ran world, enveloping the three of them.
The Ephemeral Fly swords moved silently, transforming into a subtle rain that killed without a trace under the Thirty-Six Stratagems.
"Damn it!"
Ling Ren Fa Zhi roared, "He's trapped us in his small world, we're all invincible!"
The three mages were invincible together.
Lin Zhao lowered his blade and calmly watched the three of them. It didn't matter. Anyway, they couldn't break out of the Hao Ran Small World. The ban duration was a full 30 seconds. He didn't believe their invincible time could exceed 30 seconds. In the next moment, the three of them unleashed various mage skills and magical treasures.
Lin Zhao frowned, activated his Sword Qi Shield, and watched as the spells landed on him, creating golden ripples on the Golden Armor Immortal Robe's manifestation. The damage numbers were significantly weakened. He found it somewhat amusing. Indeed, at this moment, killing these three mages was an effortless task for Lin Zhao, and they might not even have the slightest chance to resist.
A few seconds later, Lei Lei Lei Lei Lei's invincibility effect disappeared first. His heart was filled with horror as he saw the dense Ephemeral Fly swords sweep past. The physically weak Golden Core mage's entire body was pierced, turning him into a sieve of blood. With a whimper, he fell backward in mid-air, dense damage numbers rising above his head. In a blink of an eye, he transformed into a white light and returned to the city.
