Chapter 182: Frontal Assault, the Powerful Cao Xing!

More boulders rained down from the sky, instantly smashing into the buildings in the camp, emitting earth-shattering roars!

Boom! Rumble!

The ground shook violently.

The camp tents were crushed into nothingness the moment they made contact with the boulders, as if they were made of paper.

The Hunters resting inside didn't even have time to react before they were ground into meat paste in their sleep!

Bang! Bang!

A dozen or so boulders rolled down in succession, a truly astonishing display of force.

Some Hunters were lucky enough to save their lives, their eyes filled with intense horror!

"God of Light above! How could so many boulders suddenly come crashing down!"

"Damn it! What on earth is happening? Is it an earthquake or an avalanche?"

"My leg is broken… Help me…"

The entire Hunter camp was in chaos.

What surprised Cao Xing even more was that several of the boulders, while rolling, actually crashed directly into the Elemental Arrow Tower.

Rumble!

[-2578]

A large damage number appeared.

The Elemental Arrow Tower's 2000 durability points dropped to zero in an instant.

The arrow tower collapsed with a crash, even smashing a gap in their wooden fence.

Meanwhile, a large number of Hunters rushed out of their tents or small houses throughout the camp.

This included four Black-Robed Priests and one White-Robed High Priest!

They looked at the chaotic camp with expressions of shock and anger.

"Damn it! What is the situation here?"

"How could so many boulders suddenly fall down? Where are the guards stationed above the Great Rift?"

Only the High Priest maintained a calm expression in the face of danger.

He scanned the top, then looked at the rolling boulders, seemingly realizing something.

At this moment, a deep, cold glint appeared in the High Priest's eyes, like a venomous snake waiting to strike!

"Everyone, prepare for battle. It seems our camp has been targeted!"

"All archers, return to your positions immediately."

"Everyone else, assemble quickly!"

Following the High Priest's orders, the Hunters throughout the camp began to move.

Cao Xing, hiding in the shadows, also noticed these five figures.

He fixed his gaze on the White-Robed High Priest.

He noticed that the weapon he was holding consisted of two short blades.

"A melee-type White-Robed High Priest?"

"This guy reacts really fast. Looks like he's already realized it."

So, Cao Xing gave the order directly: "Assam, lead all Ascalon Warriors out, then use Fearless Charge!"

Upon receiving Cao Xing's order, Assam charged out directly.

He rode the Frost Wolf, holding the King's Warblade high, like a knight going to war!

Behind him were over a hundred awe-inspiring Ascalon Warriors.

Assam raised his sword and shouted!

"Charge! Charge!"

"Use the warblades in our hands to slit the throats of these cultists!"

The Ascalon Warriors shouted in unison: "Kill!"

They rushed toward the Hunter camp at high speed.

The moment the White-Robed High Priest saw Assam appear, a look of "as expected" appeared in his eyes.

"Interesting, this really is an attack targeting us!"

"However, looking at the armor on these people, it doesn't look like the style of the Ice Crystal Kingdom's regular army, which means the ones targeting us are not the Ice Crystal Kingdom."

Thinking of this, the White-Robed High Priest felt assured.

He gave the order directly: "Go, stop these soldiers!"

"Archers, aim at the knight in the front, fire!"

The High Priest commanded in an orderly fashion.

However, just at this moment, a terrifying vibration appeared behind the camp.

Two white shadows rushed over fiercely!

"Moo!"

"Roar!"

It was Da Bai, who had used [Berserk Charge], and the sprinting Volibear!

They ignored the attacks from the archers on the watchtowers and the Elemental Arrow Tower, slamming into the wooden fence at the edge of the camp.

Rumble!

Da Bai smashed through the wooden fence in an instant and then crashed directly into one of the watchtowers.

Bang!

[-2733]

The [Basic Watchtower]'s thousand-plus durability points returned to zero in an instant.

The Hunter archers standing on top let out terrified screams as their vision shifted, and the watchtower collapsed with a crash!

After dismantling the first watchtower, Da Bai didn't stop for a second, continuing to slam into the nearby Elemental Arrow Tower.

Meanwhile, Volibear nearby was not to be outdone.

It let out a roar, its body overflowing with lightning power.

It jumped directly next to one of the Elemental Arrow Towers.

Using its lightning-charged claws, it swiped fiercely.

[-733]

[-743]

Compared to Da Bai, the damage was a bit lower.

After all, there was a gap of more than ten levels between them!

However, Volibear's attack speed was also terrifying.

It swung its claws twice more.

This Elemental Arrow Tower's durability dropped to zero and also collapsed.

Because Cao Xing's instruction to them was to dismantle all watchtowers and Elemental Arrow Towers, these two massive creatures began their crazy home-demolition mode.

Seeing this scene, the White-Robed High Priest's expression gradually turned ugly.

"There are enemies on both sides, which means the guards outside have already been wiped out."

"This is a premeditated attack, and it also shows that my territory's situation has basically been figured out."

Even so, he didn't panic and continued to command: "Vilad, Craig, Jassim, the three of you lead a squadron to deal with that knight and the soldiers behind him."

"Finn, you lead another squadron to deal with the enemy here."

"I'll deal with that Mammoth and that bear!"

The four Black-Robed Priests replied simultaneously.

"God of Light above! We will wipe out these existences who dare to offend the God of Light!"

"Everyone! Follow me and kill!"

In the entire camp, the remaining five hundred or so Hunters instantly split into two waves to confront Cao Xing's team.

Meanwhile, Cao Xing had already charged up with a dozen Wild Boar Warriors and his core combat personnel.

Seeing two hundred or so Hunters charging toward them, Cao Xing felt no fear and commanded directly.

"Hilda, start hatching the Blood Spider."

"Jonard, Josent, use Dragon Spear Assault directly, jump into their team, and then use Ice Dragon Spear Break to scatter their formation!"

The two Dragon Blood Warriors didn't hesitate at all and raised their long spears directly.

In the stunned gaze of this group of Hunters, the two leaped high.

Then, like arrows released from a bowstring, they instantly rushed out!

Swoosh!

After a piercing sound, the two landed directly in the middle of the two-hundred-man Hunter squad, their spear tips piercing through the bodies of several Hunters!

The Hunters hit by their spear tips were like being hit by a cannonball.

A mass of frost power exploded instantly on their chests!

Bang!

[-2073]

[-2181]

[-2045]

[-2173]

Seven or eight damage numbers as high as two thousand appeared.

The group of Hunters was shocked and angry!

"They actually dare to rush into our team, kill them!"

The next moment, nearby Hunters began to attack the two frantically.

However, the two Dragon Blood Warriors didn't dodge or evade, letting various attacks hit them directly.

First, they were offset by the three layers of Holy Shield, and then offset by Volibear's Lightning Shield.

Later, they were weakened by Ice Armor and Frost Shield.

The damage numbers that finally landed on their heads were only a little over two hundred.

[-217]

[-243]

[-204]

[-276]

Meanwhile, a terrifying aura of ice condensed on their bodies.

From this aura, a faint trace of dragon might even emerged.

"Only by forgetting pain, death, faith, and everything else can we gain the power to fight against dragons!"

"Ice Dragon Spear! Break!"

Then, the two held their long spears and thrust forward fiercely.

Two ice pillars, over two meters in diameter and over fifty meters in length, erupted instantly!

At this moment, at least a hundred damage numbers appeared.

[-3071]

[-2981]

[-2744]

[-3122]

[-3185]

[-3285]

…

In addition to the terrifying damage, over a hundred Hunters were frozen in place.

This visually shocking scene stunned everyone on the field.

The arriving Black-Robed Priest gasped, "Hiss! What kind of monster is this?"

Even Cao Xing couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of a warrior race that dares to integrate dragon blood into their bodies!"

"This combat power is truly off the charts!"

However, after using this move, the two Dragon Blood Warriors had veins bulging on their foreheads!

They seemed to be enduring great pain.

Dragon blood granted them powerful strength, but using it every time was a painful torture.

Seeing this, Cao Xing quickly commanded: "Assault! Wipe out all the Hunters!"

"Braum, use Defensive Stance, try to block those arrow attacks."

"Andrew, switch to Moonkin form, start outputting at full power."

"Isabelle, condense the Holy Light Ash Shield to block those arrow attacks."

"Everyone else, attack with full force!"

Following Cao Xing's order, everyone rushed up.

As for himself, he also raised the Dawn Light Staff.

Then, he casually raised an Ice Wall.

Meanwhile, those Hunters also reacted.

The archers pulled their bowstrings and fired frantically.

"Puff! Puff, puff!"

Various arrow attacks hit the Ice Wall.

The durability value dropped rapidly.

However, Cao Xing didn't panic at all.

He found that since learning [Basic Ice Control], he felt somewhat comfortable casting these basic spells.

Not only had the spellcasting speed become faster, but it had also become much smoother.

Then, Cao Xing condensed three ice balls, each the size of a human head and covered in ice spikes.

"Ice Breaking Flying Blade, go!"

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The three ice balls landed directly in the densest cluster of Hunters and exploded with a boom.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

[-4327]

[-4531]

[-4712]

[-4613]

[-4322]

…

Over a dozen damage numbers, all exceeding four thousand, floated up!

The first wave of explosion damage coefficient for [Ice Breaking Flying Blade] is a full 267%!

Combined with Cao Xing's attack power, which had now surpassed 1600, five or six Hunters fell instantly.

However, that was not the most terrifying part of Ice Breaking Flying Blade; it also had a second stage of attack.

As the ice balls exploded, a dense spray of ice shards burst forth instantly.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

[-1432]

[-1337]

[-1842]

[-1471]

The ice shards pierced through the bodies of those Hunters, and dozens of damage numbers appeared.

A dozen more Hunters with low health collapsed on the spot.

[You killed Hunter Scout Lv27, gained EXP: 810]

[Combatants gained EXP: 204]

[You killed Hunter Warrior Lv16, gained EXP: 320]

[Combatants gained EXP: 160]

[You killed…]

In an instant, a dozen kill notifications appeared.

"Haha! As expected of a purple-tier skill, this damage is truly fierce!"

This was the threat a powerful mage posed on the battlefield!

If left unchecked, a single mage would be enough to overturn the outcome of a war.

Seeing this, the High Priest, who was busy dealing with Dabai and Volibear, suddenly showed a look of panic in his eyes.

"Scatter! Everyone scatter!"

"They have a powerful mage, don't group together!"

Hearing this, the remaining Hunters were just about to retreat.

But at that moment, Cao Xing immediately raised his staff again.

"Pathetic wretches, rest in peace within frozen memories!"

As the incantation ended, a hexagram magic circle with a diameter of over 15 meters appeared!

A powerful chill surged out from the magic circle.

It was Cao Xing's gold-tier skill: [Extreme Ice Bloom]!

"Huh? The range of the Extreme Ice Bloom magic circle has suddenly become so large? This is more than a 30% increase!"

You have to know, [Ice Dragon Crown] only increases attack range by 30%.

But the current increase is even over 50%!

Cao Xing immediately understood the reason; it likely had to do with him breaking through to Tier 3.

The significant increase in Spirit had also expanded the attack range of these spells!

However, the surprises weren't over yet.

Another system notification appeared.

[Ding! Your spellcasting triggered the weapon effect: Dawn Light, skill cooldown has been reset!]

"Holy crap! The cooldown has been reset, hahaha!"

Cao Xing was incredibly excited; he raised his staff and cast another Extreme Ice Bloom.

Instantly, two large magic circles with diameters of over fifteen meters appeared, directly enveloping dozens of Hunters.

The White-robed High Priest saw this and immediately became anxious.

"Finn, come with me to take out that Otherworld Lord!"

After saying this, he vanished from his spot and charged toward Cao Xing.

At that moment, Cao Xing felt as if he had been targeted by a venomous snake!

This white-robed priest was an assassin of at least Tier 4 Boss level.

Being targeted by him was no laughing matter.

Even Dabai had half of its health cut down by him.

If it were Cao Xing, he would likely be hacked to death by this guy in two or three strikes.

But Cao Xing didn't panic and immediately ordered: "Sarah, go and stall that High Priest!"

"Andrew, you and Hilda go deal with the one in black robes together."

After receiving Cao Xing's order, the three acted quickly.

Sarah aimed at a patch of empty space and threw a [Hindering Dagger] directly at it.

Ding!

The next moment, Sarah's attack was deflected.

Even the unerring [Hindering Dagger] was blocked; the reaction speed of this High Priest was incredibly fast!

And he was forced out of his stealth state.

At this moment, the High Priest looked at Sarah, who was wielding dual blades, with a puzzled expression.

"Hmm? A Dark Elf? Also an assassin?"

Sarah didn't waste a single word on him; her Shadow Blade struck down like a venomous snake.

Ding!

Their weapons collided.

The next moment, both began to frantically attack each other's vitals while parrying the other's attacks.

Ding! Ding, ding, ding!

The sound of clashing weapons rang out incessantly!

Their movements were so fast they left afterimages, to the point that even Cao Xing couldn't keep up.

This was a duel between two top-tier assassins, filled with a lethal sense of beauty!

Meanwhile, Cao Xing cast spells to deal with the Hunters while glancing at the High Priest's attributes.

[High Priest: Montra Hassan Lv35]

[Tier: Tier 4 Boss-level creature]

[HP: 75838 / 87430]

[Attack Power: 4123 ~ 4186]

[Armor: 577 ~ 593]

[Skills: Advanced Assassination Techniques (Practiced diligently for forty years, accompanied by the short blades in his hands day and night, he finally broke through the limits of the human body. All basic assassination skills have been mastered, attack speed increased by 30%!), Shadow Step (Advanced stealth skill, enters the shadows and is not easily discovered, and while in stealth, movement speed increases by 50%), Assassination Protocol (When an attack hits an enemy, adds a layer of Assassination Mark, increasing damage dealt by the next attack by 10%, stacks up to 4 times), Shattering Shadow (Condenses shadow energy to deal ATK * 247% shattering damage to enemies in a certain area in front, cooldown 3 minutes), Phantom Flash (Quickly jumps 50 meters forward, can jump up to 3 consecutive times, skill cooldown 40 seconds)]

[Talent: Assassin's Heart (Born assassin, when learning various assassination techniques, learning speed is increased by 50%)]

(Description: Montra was picked up by a member of the Church of Light in a slum. After a series of brutal training, all the companions who were with him died, and only he survived until the end. Due to his outstanding assassination ability, he gradually climbed to the upper echelons of the Church of Light, and was even about to become a High Priest. However, to become a High Priest, one needed to complete a trial mission: to kill the person one once loved most. On that day, for the sake of the way of assassination in his heart, Montra gave everything to the Church of Light.)

…

"As expected of a Tier 4 Boss-level entity, quite formidable!"

"However, my Sarah is the strongest!"

Even though this Montra had astonishing assassination techniques.

The Dark Elf race, being natural assassins, were not inferior in talent either.

Moreover, Sarah had also undergone brutal assassin training.

Cao Xing didn't believe that Sarah, with so many buffs applied, wouldn't be a match for this guy!

At this moment, the attack speed of the two top-tier assassins was getting faster and faster!

The two fought while moving rapidly.

Pfft! Crack!

The Holy Shield on Sarah was shattered layer by layer.

And damage numbers appeared above the head of this High Priest Montra as well.

[-2017]

[-2144]

[-3742!]

At this moment, several bloodstains appeared on his body, yet his eyes were filled with surging fighting spirit!

"How many years has it been? How many years has it been since I encountered an assassin who was my equal!"

"This is great!"

After saying this, he slashed fiercely with his dual blades, pressing down on Sarah's Shadow Blade, and cut a gash across her body.

Slash!

[-4184]

Sarah let out a muffled groan!

This guy's lethality was also quite astonishing.

Montra licked the blood off his blade, a look of intoxication appearing in his eyes.

"A Dark Elf's blood, it's actually so delicious!"

"Interesting! Too interesting!"

"I really want to capture you, lock you in a dungeon, and then slowly slice through your skin bit by bit."

"That way, I could taste your blood and screams every single day!"

He looked at Sarah as if looking at a beautiful work of art!

However, Sarah didn't say a word.

She pounced again like a ferocious tiger!
