Semi-artifact Kingdom Holy Sword! (5600)

Dragon Speaker Bing Lan had just emerged from the spatial rift and quickly scanned her surroundings, an expression of disgust appearing on her face.

"A bunch of disgusting wretches, get out of my way!"

"Swish!"

A flash of heaven-shaking sword energy appeared!

On the side of the Watchers, all five heroes were forced back by this single strike of hers!

Cao Xing looked at the scene before him in pleasant surprise, then asked, "How did you get here?"

The Dragon Speaker flicked the ice crystal longsword in her hand and said casually, "Your wife said you were in the Eternal Frost Main City, fighting against the Watchers."

"So, I just slashed through space to get here."

Cao Xing remembered at this moment that the Dragon Speaker possessed a Commander-level skill capable of instantaneous movement over five thousand kilometers, which was quite monstrous.

"Good, good, good!"

"Since you're here, help me keep them here!"

Hearing this, the Dragon Speaker immediately raised her weapon.

She had long held a grudge against the Watchers.

Killing one last night hadn't been enough to satisfy her.

At this moment, she launched a fierce attack directly!

The six Watchers were also somewhat surprised after noticing Bing Lan's figure.

"It's that woman! The Elder gave orders to bring her back!"

"Be careful, everyone. This woman is very strong; she just killed Cedric last night. And pay attention to that giant dragon as well!"

"She's coming, watch out!"

"Crack!"

A heaven-shaking sword energy was unleashed, sweeping across the surroundings!

Within a radius of two kilometers, all buildings were shattered by this sword strike!

Even the statue of the King in the center of the Kingdom was sliced in two, the massive statue collapsing with a thunderous crash.

Seeing this, Cao Xing's mouth twitched.

He had almost forgotten that this woman's greatest specialty was area-of-effect attacks.

Her sword energy had a massive range; a casual strike covered a killing radius of hundreds of meters, far wider than that of average Hero-level powerhouses!

At the same time.

The giant dragon beneath her feet seemed to have arrived after receiving various blessings from Liu Muxue.

Its body was suffused with waves of magical power.

"Roar!!!"

An ice-blue dragon breath was instantly exhaled, and the air froze in an instant!

"Retreat!"

Facing Seraphis's dragon breath, the five Watcher heroes dared not take it head-on and instantly retreated violently!

This giant dragon's breath possessed extremely strong crowd control capabilities.

On such a high-end battlefield, once crowd-controlled, even they would suffer heavy damage.

Meanwhile, the situation instantly reversed!

Cao Xing's side suddenly gained two major Hero-level creatures, and neither of them were average heroes!

At this moment, they were directly beating the enemy into a steady retreat.

The group of Watchers also knew that they didn't seem to be a match for Cao Xing and his group.

However, they did not retreat; the creed of the Watchers did not permit them to withdraw.

"Kill!"

These few Watchers roared angrily and charged over once again.

Seeing this, Cao Xing chuckled, "Very good. To think they didn't run away but chose to fight me instead!"

"It seems there really is hope to keep them all here today!"

Thus, Cao Xing quickly ordered, "Attack with full force!"

"Braum, go and hold off the one with the spear below!"

"Everyone else, slay the enemy!"

Instantly, Assam, Sarah, and the others abandoned their attacks on the spear-wielding master below.

Coordinating with the Dragon Speaker and Seraphis, they engaged the enemy's five Hero-level powerhouses!

Meanwhile, Cao Xing and Isabelle acted as the backline damage dealers.

At this moment, Isabelle flipped through her holy scripture again.

"Rustle…"

A holy pillar of light appeared; it was the [Holy Light Prison] skill, which had extremely strong control capabilities but also a very long cooldown.

Having been used just now, it directly trapped one of the Watcher members.

Cao Xing quickly scanned the situation.

He then immediately ordered, "Focus fire! Direct all attacks at him."

Everyone shifted their firepower.

Cao Xing himself raised his staff, casting various spells frantically!

Ice Spike!

Great Ice Spear!

Ice Ball!

These minor spells didn't look very powerful, but under Cao Xing's current series of attack bonuses, they could easily burst for over a hundred thousand damage.

Moreover, Cao Xing had a powerful passive skill that required casting various spells as prerequisites.

Not long after, a system notification appeared.

[Ding! You have cast ten spells. Ice Crystal Fury has taken effect. The next spell's effect is increased by 100%, and damage is increased by 100%…]

…

Cao Xing did not hesitate to cast his highest-damage skill — [Ice Tornado Storm].

Although the robe's reset effect didn't trigger this time, it was already enough!

"Whoosh!"

Four Ice Dragons swept through frantically.

The hero's HP poured out like water.

Coupled with the frenzied attacks from the Dragon Speaker and the giant dragon, in the blink of an eye, his HP dropped below four million.

The other Watcher members were just about to come and support.

Braum laughed loudly, "Haha! All of you, come here!"

Instantly, the five heroes around them began to attack Braum involuntarily.

The Watcher hero trapped within the pillar of light, holding a large hammer, attacked the pillar frantically.

However, his attacks only caused ripples to spread.

After all, the [Holy Light Prison] skill was capable of blocking a burst from a Valkyrie.

For heroes like them, it was even more impossible to break through the light barrier in a short time!

"Damn it!"

He felt incredibly anxious; during the time he was trapped, he had to endure massive damage every single moment.

Cao Xing and his party were still outputting damage frantically.

After one burst, the opponent's HP had dropped from over eight million to less than one million!

This was the terrifying damage output capability of Cao Xing and his group!

If the enemy were a target dummy, everyone's combined damage per second could reach two to three million!

In other words, a hero with ten million HP could potentially be slain by them in five or six seconds!

At this moment, the pillar of light finally couldn't hold on any longer after lasting for three seconds.

"Crack!"

The pillar shattered.

After breaking free from the restraints, the Watcher hero rolled on the ground, wanting to escape from here.

Sarah's [Shadow Bloom] and Assam's [Glory Tribute] erupted simultaneously once again.

"Boom! Boom!"

[-752623!]

[-496232]

This wave directly blew away over a million HP.

The opponent was left with only a few tens of thousands of HP.

The crisis of death struck once again!

The other Watcher members also noticed the unfavorable situation and hurriedly warned.

"Caleb, watch out!!!"

Before he could react, the Dragon Speaker at the side had already swung her sword with an indifferent look, and the super-large-range sword energy swept across him.

"Puchi!"

[-176487!]

A damage number floated up.

The Watcher's HP instantly dropped to zero, and he slowly fell down.

[Territory Member: Dragon Speaker Bing Lan successfully killed Watcher: Caleb Jeffries lv83, Tier 8 Commander-level creature, gained Experience Points: 146080 (Pale Lead)]

[Combatants gained Experience Points: 73040]

…

After this Tier 8 Watcher hero died.

Cao Xing saw a Heart of Strength, the size of two fists and glowing a deep purple-red, drop to the ground!

His breathing hitched instantly!

Clearly, this was a Hero-level Heart of Strength; he had finally managed to have one drop.

In just an instant, Sarah's figure flashed by and picked up the Heart of Strength and other loot from the ground.

At this moment.

The other four Watchers around, including the existence holding the long spear, all stopped their attacks.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, complex expressions appeared in their eyes one after another.

Another one dead!

The Watcher members, who usually made people tremble with fear across the continent, had died one after another here today!

In the sky, the Legendary fighting against the old King had his anger building to its peak.

Even the dark clouds overhead grew darker!

The originally fluttering heavy snow turned into a torrential blizzard in an instant!

An angry voice came down!

"Old King, hand over that brat, and I can spare your Ice Crystal Kingdom today!"

"Including the moment when the Blood Legion appears in the future, your Ice Crystal Kingdom can also survive."

The voice echoed throughout the royal palace, and everyone heard the conditions of this Legendary.

Cao Xing's heart moved slightly.

Trading him, an unrelated Otherworld Lord, for the entire Kingdom's survival against the Blood Legion, was a condition hard to refuse.

After all, everyone knew that the Ice Crystal Kingdom could not possibly be a match for the Blood Legion.

Now that such an opportunity was laid before them, presumably the vast majority of kingdoms would agree without hesitation.

Of course, that was assuming what this Watcher Legendary said was true.

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but look up at the sky, seemingly wanting to know what choice the old King would make.

However, everyone only heard a burst of old laughter, and then he only gave him one word in reply.

"Scram."

This 'Scram' was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, dispersing the blizzard across the sky!

"Do you take me for a fool? You bunch of guys have the goal of overthrowing all ancient dynasties; it's impossible for you to leave our Ice Crystal Kingdom alone."

Having said that, he raised his weapon without hesitation and began to attack this Watcher Legendary.

The Legendary battle began once again!

At this moment, a look of admiration appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

This old King had decent character.

However, thinking about it, it was also normal.

After all, even at his most pressured times, the old King was still resisting the Church of Light and the Weilun Kingdom.

Even the God of Light could not make him submit, so now that it was the Watchers, it was the same.

Hearing the old King's decisive refusal, that Watcher Legendary became even more furious.

"Very good, Eldon, you will regret this!"

"Don't think I don't know that you don't have much time left to live!"

"When the time comes, without you, a Legendary, to protect the Ice Crystal Kingdom, let's see who else can stop the Blood Legion."

The Ice Crystal King did not refute.

"I am indeed old."

"However, before I die, I can still take a few Legendary Watchers with me."

"You Watchers, are you prepared to pay such a price?"

The opponent said disdainfully, "Boastful!"

"With your old bones, let alone other Legendary Watchers, you aren't even a match for me!"

"And you want to kill a Legendary? What makes you think you can?"

The old king said calmly, "There is no need for such clumsy provocation. I know you want me to use the power of the Kingdom's Holy Sword to test my strength."

"Since that's the case, I will satisfy you."

"Kingdom's Holy Sword, come!"

In that instant, a vast power erupted from the depths of the royal palace!

Then, Cao Xing only saw a cyan pillar of light shooting into the sky!

As it swept through, space was easily sliced open like paper.

Within this cyan light, the faint outline of a longsword could be seen.

However, just looking at this longsword made one's eyes sting, completely unable to look directly at it.

This was the Ice Crystal Kingdom's guardian divine sword!

"Hum!"

As the old king grasped the hilt, a destructive power erupted from his body!

This power far exceeded any Legendary equipment Cao Xing had encountered before!

The moment that Legendary Watcher saw the Kingdom's Holy Sword, uncontrollable greed and excitement appeared in his eyes.

"It really is the Kingdom's Holy Sword, that demigod artifact!"

"Eldon, it's a pity for such a powerful weapon to fall into your hands."

At this moment, everyone's gaze was fixed on the old yet heroic figure in the sky, and the cyan longsword in his hand!

Cao Xing was the same.

A demigod artifact!

This was the first time he had seen a complete demigod artifact!

There is no need to mention how precious a weapon of this level is.

Only by combining three Legendary-grade scriptures of the God of Light could one assemble a complete demigod artifact.

Now, the old king was holding one, and it was a weapon at that.

No wonder both the Church of Light and the Watchers were eyeing the Ice Crystal Kingdom!

Besides overthrowing this kingdom, what they wanted even more was the demigod artifact in the king's hand!

The old king said calmly, "You want to witness the power of the Kingdom's Holy Sword, now I will let you see it."

As he finished speaking, he suddenly raised the longsword, a heaven-shaking sword radiance appeared, and then he slashed down directly!

"Shhh-crack~!"

It was as if the sky had been sliced open by this sword, and cracks dozens of kilometers long appeared in space!

This sword strike was too fast; by the time the longsword was raised and the sword radiance fell, that Legendary hadn't even reacted before being directly hit.

A bloodstain appeared on his body, from his brow to his abdomen, as if he had been sliced in two by this sword.

At the same time, everyone noticed that the mountain peak, which was dozens of kilometers away from the Eternal Frost Main City, had also collapsed.

Even this large mountain had been sliced open as well!

This shows just how terrifying the old king's casual sword strike was.

In the sky, that Legendary Watcher stumbled, struggling to maintain his balance.

The power of blood kept surging from his body, and the sword wound that had split him in two was healing at a rapid speed.

"So strong, as expected of the power of a demigod artifact!"

Greed and covetousness appeared in his eyes.

"Old man, it's a pity for such a peerless divine weapon to fall into your hands."

"Only by dedicating it to us Watchers can its value be unleashed!"

The old king snorted coldly, "If you want it, come and take it with your life."

The moment he finished speaking, he slashed out another sword strike!

"Hum!"

Space was sliced open again.

The Legendary Watcher knew the terror of such an attack and, without any intention of resisting, turned into a blood shadow on the spot and fled.

"Boom!"

After narrowly dodging this sword strike, another mountain peak in the distance was sheared off by the king.

At this moment, the old king holding the demigod artifact could be said to be terrifyingly powerful,

giving Cao Xing the feeling that he was almost reaching the level of that Lizardman Chieftain he had seen before!

That Legendary Watcher was simply no match for the king and could only keep dodging, having lost all desire to fight.

And after the old king unleashed these two strikes, the morale of the soldiers below soared, and their blood boiled!

They shouted one after another.

"Long live His Majesty the King, your divine might is invincible!"

"Following His Majesty the King, we will be invincible; kill them!"

Sky-shaking shouts of battle came, and under the soldiers' fearless charges, they actually suppressed the experts on the Watchers' side, forcing them to retreat steadily.

The Watchers were already showing signs of decline.

This battle was originally intended to rescue Taside, but in the end, they didn't save him and even lost a Tier 9 expert.

Now, both the Legendary battlefield in the sky and the battlefield below were dominated by the Ice Crystal Kingdom.

That Legendary Watcher already had thoughts of retreating.

The old king saw his intention and shouted directly.

"Get lost, you bunch of fools."

"When the blood descends, I will personally cut off your head."

In the sky, the Legendary Watcher took a deep look at the old king.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he turned around and said.

"Let's go."

"Swish~!"

Blood rolled like ocean waves.

A large number of Watchers abandoned their current opponents and retreated towards the rear.

Including the few Watchers who were fighting Cao Xing, they also began to retreat at this time.

The existence holding the long spear did not linger in the fight and left the area in a few leaps.

However, at this moment, one of the Watcher members stopped in her tracks.

She was wearing a form-fitting robe that accentuated her graceful waistline, and in her hand was a long blade dripping with blood; she appeared to be a woman.

This woman turned her head and took a deep look at Cao Xing.

"You will soon regret today's actions."

"You carry the blood debt of the human race; from now on, no matter where you go, you will be hunted by us Watchers!"

"Cherish your final moments."

Hearing this, a smile curled on Cao Xing's lips.

"You talk too much!"

"Keep her here for me!"

Instantly, Sarah turned into a shadow and rushed out.

Under such terrifying burst, her movement speed was so fast it left afterimages!

Including Dragon Speaker, Braum, Isabelle, and others, the moment they received the order, they all attacked simultaneously.

Dragon Covenant Sword · Dance!

"Whoosh—"

A strong hurricane swept through, not only dragging this group of Watchers down, but also causing six-digit damage numbers to appear above their heads.

Their HP plummeted like flowing water, and their mobility was significantly slowed.

Sarah had already reached the front of this group of Watchers and began a frenzied attack.

Seraphis in the sky continuously spat out freezing dragon breath, causing damage to them while also reducing their movement speed.

Plus, Cao Xing's walls of ice directly blocked their path.

At this moment, all five Watchers were dragged down.

Panic appeared in their eyes.

Through the recent battle, these people already knew how terrifying the attack power of this Otherworld Lord and his subordinates was.

They could kill a Tier 8 hero in just a few seconds!

If they were left behind, and the old king recovered his focus, the five of them would likely all die here today.

One of the Watchers holding a large hammer said, "Hurry, leave! Don't get entangled with them here!"

A sense of crisis rose in everyone's hearts.

However, Cao Xing was still crazily casting magic.

Including the Dragon Speaker in the sky, who at this moment directly used [Dragon Covenant Sword · Annihilation]!

"Swish!"

A sky full of sword rain fell, and the HP of these Watcher heroes poured out like water.

Especially the female Watcher who had just threatened Cao Xing; she was prioritized for their concentrated fire.

After a burst of attacks, this person's HP had dropped to four million!

Just at this moment, Braum leaped high, suddenly jumping into the crowd, raising his shield and smashing it down fiercely.

"Boom!"

Glacial Fissure!

Instantly, a glacier appeared in the ruins beneath their feet, spreading forward and covering at least three or four Watchers.

One of the bare-handed experts, caught off guard, was frozen into an ice block on the spot by this skill.

Seeing this, Cao Xing's eyes immediately lit up.

He quickly ordered, "Shift fire, hurry and kill this guy!"

Everyone instantly shifted their attack direction.

Holy Light Glazed Shatter!

Light Shatter!

Killing Dance!

Various skills were thrown out crazily.

This bare-handed Legendary Watcher had already had a lot of HP reduced in the previous battle.

Now, his vitality was pouring out like water!

In the blink of an eye, it dropped to one million HP.

The other Watchers had panic in their eyes.

"Hurry! Rescue Armand!"

"Damn it! We can't let this Otherworld Lord kill him!"

They frantically tried to rush over.

But under the suppression of Sarah and the Dragon Speaker, they had no chance at all.

At the same time, the control time of Braum's Glacial Fissure ended.

This person broke free from the ice block, his face filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.

However, before the smile could even fully appear on his face, the Dragon Speaker's terrifying sword energy appeared again.

"Puchi!"

[-206497!]

A 200,000 damage number erupted above his head, and he collapsed on the spot.
