Chapter 148: The Scheme of Jiyue
Indeed?
Before there was time to think, the guardian spirit took shape and directed its gaze toward them.
Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh!
The wild wind howled, swirling around the fairy’s hands.
The light green little hand flipped over, and a blade of wind shot straight toward Treika ahead!
It seems this is the boss’s normal attack.
I just don’t know if I can endure a hit with over 3000 attack.
The Light Elf was completely unafraid, as if it had gone through countless battles, skillfully lowering its head.
Miss!
The wind blade barely grazed her hair, tousling it wildly.
So extreme?
Treika’s expression was firm, showing no hint of panic as she pulled out a jade-green longbow from seemingly nowhere, drawing it to a great arc, swish—release!
The tip of the arrow was accompanied by a faint white glow, shooting out explosively!
-2753
The guardian spirit did not evade this arrow, or rather, it had no intention of dodging.
It merely continued to rigidly unleash the wind blades.
No matter when, Treika was always able to evade attacks by mere inches, as if she could predict the enemy’s attack trajectory.

…
In just a dozen seconds, both sides had exchanged several barrages, yet all of the guardian spirit’s attacks were missed.
How to put it…
A delightful battle, perfectly timed movements, not a single superfluous action.
The actions of the fairy’s hands were constantly looping, nocking the arrow and shooting, repeating so, maximizing her attack speed, practically pushing the kiting technique to its limit!
Zane did not intervene; since Treika dared to bring them here, it meant she was confident. He still didn’t know what that wind attraction was about; if he were to recklessly join in the output now, it could lead to chaotic aggro, and that would be problematic.
He wasn’t confident he could avoid the heavy wind blades, and there was one thing he was concerned about…
The guardian spirit’s attacks seemed very monotonous.
Whoosh—
A wind blade brushed past the bow-wielding fairy’s hair.
The first strike was from above.
In under 2 seconds, the next strike was launched.
This time it was from the center.
Treika twisted her waist and narrowly avoided the attack.
No, it only seemed dangerous to outsiders; in reality, this movement was the most efficient way to dodge.
The next attack directions were left, right, up, center, left…
No mistake, this boss only used such monotonous attacks.
And knowing the attack trajectory, with just a bit of attention, dodging the attacks was achievable.
Even ordinary players could do this prediction.
But the fairy who could perfectly dodge for so long… could no longer be described as having quick reflexes; she was no different from a monster.
How did Starry match her back then?
While pondering, Treika had whittled down the guardian spirit’s health by 200,000.
The boss’s attack movements came to a halt.
This seemed to be some kind of signal; the wind fairy’s expression was cold, no longer gathering wind blades.
The next moment, it opened its palm, aiming at the fairy in front.
Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh
The wind elements in the space were agitated, pulling all objects in front of the guardian spirit closer.
Even Zane felt a terrifying pulling force tugging at him, barely managing to stay grounded.
However, this suction only grew stronger with time; in another second, he would truly be unable to withstand it!
No more watching; he had to take action!
Boom—boom—
Boom—boom—bang!!!
Unexpectedly, a terrifying explosion echoed from behind, and the wind attraction lost its power.
Zane’s floating body crashed to the ground.
Looking back.
In the guardian spirit’s palm, a gray arrow was embedded, remaining there for quite some time.
It was the Meteor Arrow, no doubt about it.
The immense impact had directly interrupted the wind fairy’s spellcasting.
But… how did she aim in this situation?
Could it be that… she predicted in advance!?
…
Yunshui City, no, it should be called Jiyue City, had already fallen to the Dark Faction’s territory.
As the main executor of the siege, the Shadow Lord naturally had gained everything from Jiyue City, at least… on the surface, it belonged to him.
Taking down Huawucheng was akin to planting a bomb within the human race’s defenses, which could explode at any time.
However, the man hidden in the darkness was not satisfied with this result.
“Damn mad wine sword…” Feeling the various injuries on his body, the sword energy lingered, disrupting his self-healing, even affecting his ability to maintain the replicas.
Who would have thought that in the situation of a full assault in the frontline city, this madman… would dare to make a bold move into the dark fortress!
If he hadn’t been in a state of casting, he wouldn’t have been injured so badly.
And what about his subordinates?
A bunch of useless fools! Stopped by a mere woman.
Yet, what infuriated him more was that not a single one of them had shown themselves to help.
The Shadow Lord knew they were monitoring him at all times; he didn’t dare to tear off the facade. Those top figures weren’t something a minor lord could provoke.
That’s right, even a Shadow Lord strong enough to launch a full-scale siege was merely a common ant amidst the Dark Faction.
Why has the Light Faction been able to compete with the Dark Faction for hundreds of years?
Because the enemy is in constant infighting; to them, the Light Faction is merely a joke.
A joke as it may be, the kings of the Dark Faction have almost no one who isn’t tempted by foreign territories.
But… before they seize them, they are already fighting brutally over ownership.
Perhaps this is quite ridiculous, but the facts are as such.
Once a king moves, the Light Faction stands no chance of resistance.
“My lord, I have arrived.”
Upon hearing this voice, the Shadow Lord immediately restored his high and enigmatic demeanor, slowly replying, “Wanjian Busa, you did well.”
“It’s all because of the support from my lord.”
“Hmph, you are too modest. Go to the treasury…! The manager there will give you the reward you deserve.”
“I understand.” Wanjian Busa nodded but did not move his feet.
“What is it?”
“My lord, forgive my impertinence, but I would like to know… who will you support in the upcoming matches?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Wanjian Busa could clearly feel the elemental flow around him quicken; he braced himself and waited without moving.
“A bold newcomer! Very good, if…” The Shadow Lord paused, stepping out from the darkness.
His body was riddled with injuries, an unpleasing sight. “If you can help me with something.”
“…”
…
The guide station in Yunshui City was empty and deserted.
Many newcomers struggled to gather information about their class mentors and sought guides on their own.
Some speculated that the NPCs had already died.
But it didn’t seem like it, because after the version update, all functional NPCs would be taken over to supplement their roles.
Apart from the guide station, the alchemy room also ceased to be open, making many players groan in despair.
At this moment, Suisui was pacing back and forth in front of the bed, looking troubled.
“Don’t walk away… you make my head spin.”
“Ah, okay…” Suisui obediently came to a halt.
A second later.
“Ahhh!! Lord Xiin, you’re awake!?”
