Chapter 184: Famous in a Single Battle

Watching their own front lines being shattered into pieces, the casualty numbers continuously climbed.

Sun Tian's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

He could no longer sit still.

"Peng Cang! Hei Ming!"

He let out an angry roar toward the two blood-soaked figures fighting in the center of the battlefield.

"Forget about the others!"

"Find a way to go take care of that drumming woman for me first!"

Sun Tian knew very well that as long as that woman's singing and drumming stopped,

this group of adrenaline-pumped lunatics from the Eternal Night Guild would instantly return to normal.

By then, the battle situation would still be under his control.

"Received!"

Peng Cang let out a loud shout, violently swinging his giant axe to force back the opponent in front of him.

No longer lingering in the fight, his massive body, like a rampaging tank, forcefully squeezed a path out of the crowd and headed straight for Sona in the rear.

On the other side, Hei Ming's figure had long since quietly vanished, melting into the chaotic shadows of the battlefield.

However, just at the moment when Peng Cang was about to break through the encirclement,

a figure like an iron tower blocked his path.

It was precisely Xiang Yu.

He just stood there quietly with his arms crossed over his chest, his serene eyes coldly gazing at the charging Peng Cang.

"Your opponent is me."

Xiang Yu's voice was deep and powerful.

"Courting death!"

Peng Cang had no time to waste words with him. The giant axe in his hand whipped up a fierce wind, bringing the momentum to split mountains and cleave rocks as he slashed down directly at the head!

Facing this immensely heavy strike, Xiang Yu didn't even lift an eyelid.

He just casually raised an arm, using his forearm to forcefully block the falling giant axe.

"Clang——!"

The deafening sound of metal clashing echoed through the battlefield.

Peng Cang only felt the web of his hand go numb from the shock, and the giant axe in his hand almost slipped away.

He widened his eyes, staring intently at the man in front of him.

How could this be possible?!

His all-out strike was actually blocked so easily by his arm?

[-621]

A red damage number slowly floated up from above Xiang Yu's head.

Peng Cang's eyeballs were about to pop out.

Only a little over six hundred points of damage?

What kind of joke is this!

You must know, he was the top combat power in the Tianyu Guild, second only to Li Qiu and Luo Ming in strength.

In the entire Donghai City, the people who could take this axe of his could be counted on one hand.

Even a Shield Warrior of the same level, taking this move head-on, would lose at least a thousand health points.

But the stout man in front of him…

"You guy… exactly what kind of monster are you?!"

Peng Cang's voice trembled slightly from shock.

Just as he was tangled in combat with Xiang Yu,

a pitch-black shadow had quietly skirted behind Sona.

Hei Ming's figure emerged from the shadows like a phantom.

The dagger in his hand flashed with a venomous, eerie light, and without the slightest hesitation, he neatly and decisively stabbed toward Sona's fair, slender neck!

"Puchi!"

The dagger pierced into flesh.

[-3891]

A huge damage number popped up from above Sona's head.

However, the smugness on Hei Ming's face only lasted for zero point one seconds before freezing completely.

What did he see?

That woman's health bar actually… didn't move at all?!

Even, she didn't even turn her head back, still engrossed in beating the drum set, and the high-pitched singing in her mouth didn't have the slightest pause.

Hei Ming was dumbfounded.

Having lived for over thirty years, he had never seen such a bizarre scene.

This wasn't logical!

This completely didn't conform to the basic settings of Professionals!

Just at the moment he was dazed,

ahead, Xiang Yu, who was currently locked in a contest of strength with Peng Cang, suddenly turned his head coldly and glanced at him.

"[Overlord's Taunt]!"

Hei Ming only felt an irresistible will instantly seize his Soul.

The dagger in his hand uncontrollably left Sona's body, turning instead to stab toward the back of Xiang Yu's heart.

"Clang!"

It was another crisp sound.

Hei Ming was shaken back repeatedly by that massive rebound force, his face full of panic.

Xiang Yu slowly turned around, meeting the attacks of Peng Cang and Hei Ming simultaneously from left and right.

Fighting two alone, he actually didn't fall behind in the slightest.

At the rear of the battlefield, Sun Tian's expression grew increasingly grave as he watched this scene.

With the drumbeat not stopping, his side's casualties were growing larger and larger.

The Tianyu Guild… was doomed.

Just as the intention to retreat arose in his heart,

a loud, clear voice, like thunder from the Nine Heavens, suddenly resounded above everyone's heads.

"All of you, stop!"

As this voice fell,

that wild drumbeat and passionate singing instantly came to an abrupt halt.

All the members of the Eternal Night Guild who were fighting bloody battles, as if receiving some kind of instruction, put away their weapons at the very first moment and stopped all attacking actions.

They turned in unison, kneeling on one knee toward the direction of the sky.

Their faces were filled with incomparable respect and fanaticism.

"Welcome, My Lord!"

The uniform shouts resonated through the clouds.

My Lord?

The surviving members of the Tianyu Guild raised their blood-stained faces one by one, looking blankly toward the sky.

The next second, all of their pupils abruptly shrank to the size of needle tips.

They saw a figure draped in a black windbreaker, unfolding a pair of giant wind wings, slowly descending from the air.

What made them even more terrified was that,

in that man's hand, he was also dragging a charred figure that looked like a dead dog.

"Li… Lord Li Qiu?!"

Someone let out an incredulous gasp.

"That person… is Lord Li Qiu?!"

"He… he was actually defeated?!"

Everyone in the Tianyu Guild was completely dumbfounded.

Their mouths were wide open, and their faces were written with incomprehensible shock.

How could this be possible?

Lord Li Qiu was, after all, the publicly recognized strongest Professional in Donghai City!

…

In the distance, the onlookers burst into an uproar.

"F*ck! Did I see wrong? The person that man is holding in his hand… is Li Qiu?!"

"Li Qiu actually lost? Looking at that state, it seems he was completely crushed?!"

"My goodness! When did such a fierce person appear in our Donghai City?!"

"It's over… I feel like Donghai City is going to undergo a drastic change!"

"I didn't expect this Eternal Night Guild to be so strong! Not only can they crush Tianyu in the guild battle, but even Li Qiu is not their match!"

…

Looking at the figure descending from the sky and the half-dead Li Qiu in his hand,

Sun Tian's suspended heart completely died.

He really couldn't figure out where this Eternal Night Guild had popped out from.

In just a few short months, it had actually grown to such a terrifying degree.

Zhou Huai controlled Yasuo, landing steadily in the center of the battlefield.

He casually threw the dying Li Qiu into the pile of people from the Tianyu Guild.

Several healing-type Professionals hurriedly stepped forward, frantically beginning rescue efforts.

Yasuo's gaze calmly fell upon Sun Tian's face.

"Chairman Sun, I'm sorry."

"Our Eternal Night Guild has no intention of being enemies with you."

Zhou Huai actually didn't have much ill will toward the Tianyu Guild.

Back when the beast tide struck, it was the people of the Tianyu Guild who rushed to the very front one by one.

Peng Cang and Hei Ming even used their lives to buy time for Gandalf.

As for the grudge between him and Li Qiu, it couldn't be considered a deep, irreconcilable hatred either.

Back when the Radiant Alliance issued the bounty, he was destined to be everyone's target.

Even if Li Qiu hadn't come, there would have been others.

He just happened to use this opportunity to make a clean escape.

Today's battle, besides getting back face, had its main purpose as completing the class advancement challenge issued by the System.

Now the mission was complete.

And the grudges were also settled.

Zhou Huai looked at Sun Tian, whose expression was shifting uncertainly, and continued.

"Chairman Sun, you have already seen the strength of our Eternal Night Guild."

"If you want to continue fighting, the consequences are probably something you cannot bear."

"How about we call it a day here today?"

"My grudge with Li Qiu is settled, and Eternal Night will no longer look for trouble with you Tianyu."

"In the future, maybe we will still have the opportunity to cooperate."

Sun Tian's face was gloomy as he remained silent for a long time.

He raised his head, staring fixedly at Yasuo.

"Where is Luo Ming?"

Zhou Huai's reply was very crisp.

"Luo Ming is out of the question."

"I still have many things to ask him."

"As for whether he can survive, that's another matter."

Sun Tian's gaze grew increasingly icy.

"I advise you, it's best not to kill him."

"Otherwise you might be in big trouble."

Finishing speaking, he said no more and turned to jump onto his terrestrial Dragon beast.

"Let's go!"

The surviving members of the Tianyu Guild, one by one feeling as if granted a great amnesty, supported the wounded and began to retreat in a flurry.

Watching their panicked departing backs,

the members of the Eternal Night Guild could finally no longer suppress the excitement in their hearts, bursting into earth-shattering cheers.

Some even wept tears of joy, howling up to the sky, venting all the emotions that had built up over this period of time to the fullest.

Once upon a time, they were just rogue Professionals struggling at the very bottom.

Looked down upon by countless people, enduring cold glares and humiliation.

Not even having the qualifications to join a small guild.

But now, they had actually defeated the most powerful Tianyu Guild in Donghai City head-on!

This feeling was unprecedented.

This was what they should look like after dreaming of becoming Professionals!

And all of this was bestowed by My Lord!

At this moment, all the members of the Eternal Night Guild knelt down again in unison.

In their eyes burned an unprecedented fanaticism and worship.

"We are willing to offer our lives for My Lord!"

"We will not decline even if we die ten thousand deaths!"

The mountain-shattering and sea-overturning shouts echoed in the rainy night, lingering for a long time.

After this night, the Eternal Night Guild became famous in a single battle.

Completely making a name for itself throughout the entire Donghai City.
