Chapter 370: Thunder Like a Prison, Strongly Claiming First Place! (7400)

Chapter 370: Thunder Like a Prison, Strongly Claiming First Place! (7400)

At this moment, everyone was completely dumbfounded!

They could be certain that just a minute ago, Cao Xing's points had only just reached three hundred.

And right while they were talking, this person's points surged by another hundred plus!

"This is too absurd, what is going on?"

"I have no idea, can someone tell me what happened? Four minutes, and over four hundred points added? Is this something a human can do?"

"Going by this momentum, doesn't that mean within ten minutes, Great Lord Cao Xing can rush to a thousand points, suppress Bolte, and take first place?"

Read Taiwanese novels on Super Praise

The moment they thought of this possibility, everyone was instantly dumbfounded. They stared in shock at the constantly jumping numbers on the leaderboard, their hearts filled with disbelief.

And that group of Western Survivors also saw this scene.

Although shocked in their hearts, they still refused to admit it.

"Heh, these Eastern little sheep are probably out of their minds. This Cao Xing must have used some method to beat all those Ice Nest Monsters down to low health, and then harvested them in one wave. It's impossible to maintain this speed all the time!"

"That's right! I bet he's going to stop right away, he won't even make it into the top ten!"

However, right at this moment.

Cao Xing's points suddenly jumped fiercely!

Directly increasing by over a hundred points all at once!

With a score of 557, he ranked ninth!

At this moment, the Survivors watching the leaderboard gasped sharply.

"Hiss!!! Top ten! Holy shit!"

"What a monster! His score suddenly surged by over a hundred points!"

"Damn it, where are those idiots from just now who said Great Lord Cao Xing wouldn't make it into the top ten? Stand out for me and open your dog eyes wide to take a good look!"

That Western Survivor who had just bet he wouldn't make the top ten instantly had his face slapped swollen!

At this moment, who knows how many people learned of this news!

Cao Xing, who was ranked first in Prosperity, began to exert force!

Taking just over four minutes, he jumped directly from 0 points to over five hundred points, forcefully fighting his way into the top ten!

And he still maintained this terrifying speed, sprinting all the way.

Even some Guild Leaders who were fiercely engaged in battle with Ice Nest Monsters felt it was completely unbelievable upon hearing this news at this moment.

They almost even forgot to deal with the monsters right in front of them.

And when they opened the leaderboard, the two words "Cao Xing" in ninth place were so dazzlingly harsh!

…

Meanwhile.

The over one hundred combat personnel led by Cao Xing had already begun all-out combat!

"Andrew, there is an Ice Nest Evil Beast over there, all the monsters near it are handed over to you."

"Victoria, release the Nen Qi Shield to protect our soldiers!"

"Elisa, Renice, focus fire on that low-health boss monster!"

As Cao Xing issued instruction after instruction, everyone once again launched a crushing battle!

Although the health pools of these Ice Nest Monsters had been strengthened several times over, as long as attributes like their attack power, armor, and agility hadn't been strengthened, it was fine.

To them, at best, they were just some sandbags with thicker health bars!

At this time, Cao Xing was sitting on Dabai's back. This huge Mammoth used its massive body to slam fiercely into the Ice Nest Monster army with the momentum of an overwhelming landslide!

And relying on its terrifying recovery ability, it rampaged uninhibitedly!

It continuously raised its elephant hooves, and every step that fell was a deafening roar like a landslide and ground split; the ice sheet over a dozen meters thick was trampled by it into spiderweb-like cracks!

And from time to time, it swung its trunk, swatting away the Ice Nest Monsters that got close!

And Cao Xing, sitting on its back, waved his staff, continuously releasing various powerful magic spells, blasting those Ice Nest Monsters into complete disarray.

The Frost Moose on the other side had a completely different combat style from Dabai.

Because it had the permanent [Wind Wings] bestowed by Cao Xing.

In other words, this Frost Moose could fly infinitely!

It could be seen flying in mid-air about six or seven meters high, its blue fur gently swaying in the wind, undulating and rippling like blue waves.

Then it opened its huge mouth, exhaling bursts of astonishing cold air!

That cold air surged out like a turbulent torrent, rapidly spreading with a bone-chilling cold

In the blink of an eye, a large number of Ice Nest Monsters were frozen into ice sculptures, standing tall on the ice sheet!

And the soldiers behind brandished their blades, chopping these Ice Nest Monsters into ice shards all over the ground, coordinating quite well.

Seeing this scene, the corner of Cao Xing's mouth also curved into a smile.

"As expected, bestowing flight ability to the Frost Moose was the correct choice. This moose's lethality and crowd-control ability are simply astonishing!"

Then, he glanced at the surrounding Ice Nest Monsters again, finding that their health had all dropped quite a bit.

"Very good, now it's time to maximize the gains!"

As his words fell, he directly raised his staff!

Instantly, dozens of ice walls prominently appeared on the pristine white ice sheet.

"Explode for me!"

Along with a wave of Cao Xing's staff!

The dozen or so ice walls before him instantly exploded, just as if they had been detonated!

The ice shards filling the sky were like sharp blades!

Carrying boundless impact force, they directly swept over the Ice Nest Monsters within a radius of a hundred meters around!

"Boom! Boom boom boom!"

[-18932]

[-17832]

[-18231]

[-19232]

…

After the chain detonations, terrifying damage numbers nearing twenty thousand appeared one after another!

Dabai also raised its trunk at this moment, unleashing a boss-tier skill — Elephant Herd Stampede!

"Moo—"

Instantly, hundreds of huge Mammoths appeared behind it!

Looking at the enemies before them, they charged forward directly without the slightest hesitation.

"Bang! Crack!"

[-16872]

[-15723]

[-15923]

[-18321]

…

Terrifying damage numbers appeared one after another.

And right before their eyes, at least several hundred monsters had entered a low-health state.

Cao Xing looked to the side at Assam, who was leading the Ascalon Warriors in a charge, and shouted, "Assam, use Divine Light Sword Qi!"

Hearing the command, this brave knight turned around without hesitation and raised the legendary weapon in his hand high.

A destructive aura emanated from the blade, and then it slashed out directly!

"Swish!"

Instantly!

The moment several hundred Ice Nest Monsters came into contact with this Sword Qi, they were vaporized on the spot!

A white light rose above the heads of at least a dozen soldiers!

Including the Mammoth Dabai, which also leveled up.

A system prompt appeared.

[Your territory member: Assam used Divine Light Sword Qi to slay 247 Ice Nest Monsters, weapon attack power +247, points +312 points]

At this moment.

Cao Xing's original score of over five hundred instantly surged to over eight hundred!

And his ranking jumped directly from eighth to third!

Such a terrifying increase directly stirred up a huge commotion in the chat channel!

"Holy shit! Holy shit! I definitely didn't see it wrong, Great Lord Cao Xing just gained over three hundred points in an instant!"

"I saw it too, it's so absurd. Everyone else is struggling to climb up by a few points at a time, while Great Lord Cao Xing directly surges by hundreds of points!"

"At this trend, I'm afraid it won't take long to take first place!"

Not only these Survivors, but also the major guild leaders who were battling the Ice Nest army were deeply shocked by this as well!

Borko, who temporarily held first place, saw Cao Xing on the leaderboard killing his way into the top three like a dark horse—no, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.

A heavy pressure struck him!

"Damn it! What is going on, why is this kid so fast?"

"Taylor, what should we do? This Cao Xing is about to catch up!"

Anxiety laced his tone.

However, the brown-curly-haired woman before him was also biting her teeth tightly at this moment, pondering countermeasures.

"How could this be… how could this be? This is impossible!"

"Everyone entered this world on the same day, why is he so much stronger than us?"

She almost bit her lips until they bled, completely unable to think of any solution!

After all, in the face of absolute strength, any countermeasure was useless.

Seeing this scene, Borko also knew that this woman had exhausted her tricks and used up all her methods!

But his heart still refused to give up.

Thus, he took a deep breath and shouted, "Kill! Wanting to snatch away my first place is not that easy!"

As his words fell, he once again transformed into a violent beast, charging into the Ice Nest army to slaughter!

…

On the other side.

The strongest person in District 16, Bai Zhi, was continuously releasing streams of cold air, freezing a large number of Ice Nest Monsters!

Even the commander-tier little Ice Dragon was frozen into an ice sculpture by her time and time again, collapsing to the ground!

At this time, a woman beside her said, "Guild Leader Bai Zhi, your third place is gone, Cao Xing snatched it!"

"His speed is so terrifying, he's simply like a monster!"

Bai Zhi's eyelashes, covered in crystal-clear frost, trembled slightly, and then she said indifferently, "I know, let him snatch it if he wants."

"This person's strength is already on a completely different level from ours."

She let out a soft sigh.

For a long time, she had relied on her powerful combat strength to become the district's number one, and had consecutively won first place on the leaderboard twice.

Bai Zhi felt in her heart that among the Survivors, there were not many people who were her match anymore.

Yet this district merger had given her invincible state of mind a slight sense of frustration.

The woman beside her noticed the frustration in Bai Zhi's eyes and hurriedly comforted her.

"Guild Leader, you must definitely not lose heart! I am your most loyal little fan girl; if you're done for, I won't have any powerful thighs to hug anymore!"

"We are still waiting for you to lead us to participate in that Oracle War!"

Bai Zhi looked speechlessly at this woman, then shook her head with a smile, "Rest assured, I am not that easily knocked down."

"Speaking of which… Bolte that fellow has also started sprinting. I wonder how long it will take Cao Xing to take first place."

However, right while they were discussing.

They suddenly saw Cao Xing's points jump once more!

Directly adding another three hundred plus points!

With a score of 1157, he directly snatched first place!

The entire chat channel fell silent on the spot for a moment.

Everyone looked at the name in first place on the leaderboard, feeling it hard to believe!

And when they snapped back to their senses, it was a tsunami-like roar of cheers!

…

On Cao Xing's side.

Swordsman — Xiao's eyes instantly flashed with brilliance after seeing Assam wield that sword.

That was not fear, but a strong fighting spirit!

As a swordsman, he was keen on challenging the strong, especially those strong ones who used swords!

And through challenge after challenge, Xiao would integrate and master these strong ones' moves, creating brand-new swordsmanship!

At this moment, Xiao said in a deep voice, "This territory is truly brimming with experts, just as I imagined!"

"So now, let Lord also witness my strength!"

The moment his words fell, the black longsword in Xiao's hand flashed with light!

On the ice sheet, two figures completely identical to his physique suddenly appeared.

It was precisely the special effect of the Divine Shadow Sword — Divine Shadow Doppelganger!

Then, Xiao sheathed his longsword.

"Clang!"

Invisible cold wind quietly surged!

And the two doppelgangers behind him also maintained the same sword-sheathing action as him!

After charging power for a second, Xiao directly drew his longsword!

"Swish!"

Around his body, dozens of small tornadoes prominently appeared, rapidly spreading toward the surroundings!

And those two doppelgangers moved just like his main body!

In the blink of an eye, dozens of tornadoes appeared on the ice sheet!

These tornadoes carried a tearing aura, and the moment all the Ice Nest Monsters along the way came into contact with these whirlwinds, it was as if their bodies were slashed across by densely packed blades.

Large amounts of damage appeared above their heads!

[-15821]

[-14923]

[-14662]

[-17129]

[-18321]

…

"Whoosh—Crack—"

A large number of low-health Ice Nest Monsters were directly taken away by this wave of burst!

After finishing these, this swordsman's movements did not have the slightest pause.

Lifting his longsword, he agilely and quickly approached other monsters on the ice sheet!

Target prominently a boss-tier monster with a million health, Ice Nest Colossus!

As he swung his sword time and time again, every sword carried Sword Qi, and an invisible Sword Qi would also appear to follow behind him!

And the health of the Ice Nest Colossus also began to plummet rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, it was suppressed to below 400,000!

And the Sword Qi following behind Xiao also reached dozens!

At this moment, he pointed his longsword!

Instantly, dozens of Sword Qi flew shooting at extreme speed toward the Ice Nest Colossus he pointed at!

"Puff! Puff puff!"

Densely packed piercing sounds struck.

[-7856]

[-7749]

[-7632]

[-7823]

[-7532]

…

In the blink of an eye, the health of that Ice Nest Colossus, which still had 400,000 health remaining, began to drain wildly like flowing water!

Four hundred thousand…

Three hundred thousand…

Two hundred thousand…

Then its health directly cleared to zero, transforming into ice crystals scattered all over the ground!

That Ice Nest Colossus was actually directly one-shotted by this wave of burst!

It was precisely Xiao's self-created skill — Formless Sword Intent!

[Your territory member: Xiao killed Ice Nest Colossus Lv32, Tier 4 Boss-tier creature, acquired Experience: 12800, acquired Points: 100 points]

…

Witnessing the power of this sword, Cao Xing's eyes instantly lit up!

"Such a fast sword, and such a high damage multiplier!"

Clearly, based on this move alone, Xiao's single-target output could already reach the top ten in the territory!

Don't look down on it just being the top ten; it was still quite terrifying!

After all, there were too many monsters ahead of him.

The Five Commanders, plus output-type monsters like Assam, Andrew, Renice, and Herlie.

Everyone else also had resources poured into them by Great Lord Cao Xing.

For Xiao to rank in the top ten already proved his strength.

"Not bad. This swordsman from Star Country not only has powerful single-target abilities, but his AoE burst is also not weak."

"He's worth cultivating!"

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction, then continued giving orders.

"Voli, use Wrath of Thunder!"

"Chu Chu, summon Terminator X, then use the Earth Dragon Mecha's Annihilation Ray. Let's speed up the clearing!"

Upon receiving the order, Voli, that giant white bear, stood up on its hind legs directly!

It slowly opened its bear claws as a terrifying power of lightning condensed.

Then, directly above the group of Ice Nest Monsters ahead, it created a huge thundercloud!

Instantly, bolts of destructive lightning descended like a torrential rain,

"Crackling! Rumble!"

Thunder fell like rain and electric light poured like a waterfall, turning that area directly into a thunder purgatory!

A massive number of Ice Nest Monsters were electrocuted into endless spasms, their health bars plummeting with a 'swishing' sound!

On the other side, Little Chuchu consumed a massive amount of mechanical force and used that epic-tier skill!

A muffled sound echoed through the sky.

Then, a massive metal creature at least five meters tall plummeted from the sky at extreme speed!

Its gray-blue metal body gleamed with a cold, hard luster under the sunlight, resembling a pure war machine!

Its head was streamlined, and its eyes flashed with a red glow!

On its back was a huge energy device that continuously flashed with blue light, providing it with powerful drive.

This was Terminator X!

Little Chuchu shouted, "X, use Berserk Barrage!"

Instantly, this entirely gray-blue mecha flew into mid-air, and a massive amount of ammunition spewed out from the muzzle on its chest!

"Bang! Bang bang!"

In an instant, tens of thousands of bullets poured out directly, forming an entire sheet of barrage.

Tong Chuchu also entered low-altitude flight mode and directly used [Annihilation Ray].

"Sizzle~!"

A white ray with a diameter of fifty centimeters and a length reaching over a hundred meters swept across the crowd of monsters, triggering waves of violent explosions!

On the other side, Cao Xing also quickly raised his staff—Ice Tornado Storm!

Two huge dragon heads protruded from the magic circle and then began to spin at high speed.

"Crack! Snap!"

Dense cracking sounds rang out.

Four super AoE skills were unleashed simultaneously.

Directly completely covering the area of over a thousand meters around!

The ammunition pouring down like a torrential rain, the destructive thunder continuously falling from the sky, and a thick annihilation ray constantly detonating!

Coupled with those two high-speed rotating Ice Dragons!

On the battlefield, lights flashed and smoke filled the air, making it impossible to see the specific scene clearly.

It was as if the entire world had fallen into chaos and fury!

The intense might even caused the group of fighting soldiers to look sideways in shock!

When all the commotion subsided!

A large swath of the surrounding Ice Nest Monsters had been cleared out!

The remainder had also fallen into a near-death state.

At the same time, a system prompt appeared!

[You have killed a total of 773 Ice Nest Monsters this time, including 742 normal creatures, elite creatures…, gained Experience Points: 674,670, Points +918!]

…

Cao Xing's points surged by over nine hundred once again, directly breaking through two thousand!

And on the points leaderboard, he directly widened the gap with the second-place Borco by nearly a thousand points!

Upon learning this news, Borco, who was still thinking of struggling a bit more, completely gave up all hope at this moment.

He looked as if he had been struck a heavy blow, and his attack speed slowed down significantly.

After executing this wave of AoE attacks, Cao Xing was also overjoyed!

"Haha, this feeling of clearing the field is so awesome!"

"I can now uninhibitedly release various AoE skills and carpet-bomb these Ice Nest Monsters!"

Fighting up to now, it had added up to less than 15 minutes.

Cao Xing had already wiped out about one-fifth of the monsters inside.

Calculated at this pace, completely annihilating this wave of the Ice Nest Monster legion would take about an hour.

It sounded like a long time.

But one had to know that the allied army formed by other Survivors had a combatant count reaching two to three thousand, which was dozens of times that of Cao Xing's side!

Yet it would still take four to five hours to take down this many monsters.

Just comparing the two, one could see how terrifying Cao Xing's advancement speed was.

At the same time.

A combined team formed by a couple of Survivors arrived at the edge of the battlefield where Cao Xing was.

Although Cao Xing did not publicize his location, a large number of Survivors were searching everywhere across the Gale Snowfield, so quite a few were able to find this place.

Instantly, everyone was frozen in place, stunned by the terrifying battle commotion below!

"Holy shit! What kind of monsters are these?"

"Did you guys see that? At least a few hundred monsters were cleared out in one wave by him just now!"

"We're not blind!"

They widened their eyes one after another, staring fixedly at the battle scene below!

However, due to the system update, they could no longer casually spy on the attributes and unit attributes of other Survivors.

They could only see that group of powerful creatures below continuously unleashing terrifying skills one after another.

Ravaging the massive amount of Ice Nest Monsters by pinning them to the ground!

Across the entire battlefield, the most terrifying sight was naturally over at Sarah's side.

She led an Ice Dragon with a wingspan of eighteen meters, shuttling wantonly through the crowd of monsters.

Furthermore, she occasionally displayed flexible footwork, jumping onto the Ice Dragon's back to inflict terrifying slashes upon it!

This level 40 commander-tier Ice Dragon was completely suppressed.

At this time, one of the Survivors swallowed hard and said, "Did you guys see that Mammoth?"

"I heard before that Great Lord Cao Xing's mount is a Mammoth. Could this group of people be that person's legion?"

Beside him, a bearded middle-aged man said, "There's no need to doubt it; it's highly likely him!"

"Around here, apart from that person, it's impossible for such a powerful existence to exist!"

Hearing the middle-aged man's confirmation, the surrounding Survivors felt both pleasantly surprised and exceptionally excited!

They hurriedly shared what they saw and heard in the chat channel.

"Brothers, you guys definitely don't know what we found!"

"It's Great Lord Cao Xing! We saw his legion!"

"He is actually relying solely on the strength of a little over a hundred people to single-handedly deal with an entire Ice Nest Monster legion!"

"How terrifying!"

Hearing this, the Survivors asked in astonishment, "A little over a hundred people dealing with an Ice Nest Monster legion? Isn't that too absurd?"

"That's hardly possible, right? That commander-tier little Ice Dragon requires at least one or two hundred people just to hold it back."

Those few Survivors immediately replied, "It's true, we saw it with our own eyes! Great Lord Cao Xing's territory residents are too freakish; they practically treat these Ice Nest Monsters like farming normal mobs!"

"That little Ice Dragon is being suppressed by a freakish assassin. That assassin's speed and reaction ability are simply too terrifying, beating the little Ice Dragon to the point where it has no power to fight back at all!"

Shock reappeared in the eyes of the Survivors.

"Holy cow, is it that absurd? Soloing a little Ice Dragon and even directly suppressing it!"

"No wonder this person's points are rising so fast!"

"We even have to cooperate just to deal with a single Ice Nest Monster, yet Great Lord Cao Xing directly farms these Ice Nest Monsters like normal mobs. Comparing people really makes one want to die of anger!"

"Indeed, this is such a blow to people's morale!"

"Brothers, don't be sad. I think the ones suffering the biggest blow right now must be Bolt and Taylor on the leaderboard!"

Hearing this, the Eastern Survivors remembered something and unanimously revealed a smile.

"Damn, why aren't those guys who kept clamoring to suppress us coming out now? Starting to play dead?"

"Hahaha, that's indeed how it is. All smiles when things go smoothly, playing dead when facing adversity."

"Come on, your Taylor has already been pulled down to fourth place by Bai Zhi. If you don't work harder, even second place won't be saved!"

"…"

Taunted by everyone, that group of Western Survivors also felt a burning sensation on their faces.

…

…

Meanwhile, Cao Xing, who was fighting at the moment, naturally noticed that group of onlookers.

But he didn't drive them away either, continuing to quickly clear out the Ice Nest Monsters ahead on his own!

After all, during this Ice Dragon Challenge, it was impossible for him not to expose his strength.

And he had already prepared long ago; many hidden dangers had already been eliminated.

Over at the Church of Light, Cao Xing had successfully diverted their target and splashed dirty water onto the demons.

Coupled with the fact that the Church's forces suffered heavy losses, they simply didn't have the energy to pay attention to Cao Xing in the short term.

Moreover, the system had been updated now, so they could only see the soldiers under their command handling Ice Nest Monsters with absolute ease.

They did not know the levels of Cao Xing and his subordinates.

Thus, Cao Xing raised his staff, and various spells erupted one after another!

Seal of Ice!

Ice Soul Spiral Spear!

Extreme Ice Bloom!

Ice Breaking Flying Blade!

"Bang! Bang bang!"

Terrifying damage numbers exceeding ten thousand burst forth one after another.

Leaving the Survivors watching from afar utterly dumbfounded!

"Hiss—Is this the strength of the number one on the leaderboard? Too terrifying! How can his damage be so high?"

"Duh, didn't you see the weapon in his hand? That's definitely a weapon of Epic quality or higher!"

"Indeed, and the skills cast by Great Lord Cao Xing seem to be of very high quality. A skill book like that would sell for an astronomical price on the market!"

A look of sudden realization appeared in everyone's eyes.

At this time, a Survivor nearby said, "Say, should we start a livestream?"

"With this person's might, it can definitely attract a huge number of people to come watch!"

At this moment, that middle-aged man nearby slapped him across the face!

"You idiot, if you want to court death, don't drag us along!"

"Without this person's permission, if you start a livestream privately and anger him, all of us combined wouldn't be enough for him to kill."

Hearing this, this person's expression also turned stern!

After all, this was a world where might made right, and the lives of these Survivors were no longer protected by law.

Clearly, Cao Xing's power crushed all of them.

If he were angered and came directly to wipe them all out, there would be nowhere to seek justice.

Looking at the destructive battle below, this person no longer dared to mention starting a livestream.

The other Survivors exclaimed with emotion.

"Too formidable. This kind of attack power, this kind of advancement speed, it's a true-sense sweeping through everything!"

"Yeah, if he can maintain this speed the whole time, no one can ever snatch away the number one spot on the leaderboard."

"Say, Leader, can we also go down and leech some points? This second phase is public to begin with, and the system encourages us to fight together."

"We'll just go deal with some straggling Ice Nest Monsters nearby; he shouldn't mind, right?"

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No, didn't you see the situation below?"

"Clearly, he alone is capable of wiping out this Ice Nest Monster legion."

"If we go down to steal monsters now, the other party might not say anything, but it will leave a bad impression in this person's heart."

After listening to this leader's analysis, the others also nodded in sudden realization.

…

…

At this moment, after half an hour of combat, Cao Xing had already cleared about 50% of the Ice Nest Monster army here.

Securely taking the number one spot with an advantage of six thousand points!

And the current second place, Bolt, had just barely reached 2,000 points.

It was nearly a threefold gap.

What was even more crucial was—

It took Bolt nearly two hours to accumulate 2,000 points.

Whereas Cao Xing's 6,000 points only took half an hour!

And what was even more terrifying was that his soldiers suffered zero losses!

You must know that even someone as formidable as Borco, along with Bai Zhi and others, suffered quite a few casualties when dealing with these Ice Nest Monster armies.

Zero casualties on Cao Xing's side was simply a shocking matter.

That group of onlookers seemed to have also sensed this point.

Cao Xing naturally knew that doing this would attract the attention of those Survivors.
