Skyrocketing points and strength! (6200)
They were just like the Survivors they had encountered before, each and every one of them fearless, seemingly wanting to stall Cao Xing here.
Cao Xing, of course, saw through their plan.
But he didn't pay it much mind.
Instead, he continued to control the Branded Monsters methodically, and after sending out his legion of Ascalon Warriors to slaughter this group of people, he harvested about thirty thousand gold points.
The joint army of six hundred thousand also arrived at this moment.
From afar, Cao Xing could see the heads of people surging from all directions.
It was a pitch-black mass, as if it were about to drown the entire world!
Among the joint army, those legion commanders once again noticed the familiar figure surrounded by the Branded Monsters.
They shouted immediately.
"Cao Xing is there!"
"Kill him!"
Rumble!
The army of hundreds of thousands charged again, and launched a frenzied concentrated fire on the Branded Monster legion!
In an instant, the Branded Monster legion was bombarded and forced to retreat steadily.
But Cao Xing did not retreat immediately; instead, he continued to stand where he was, fighting them.
Seeing the Survivor alliance army constantly shrinking the encirclement, Cao Xing was also prepared to teleport away at any moment.
Meanwhile, in the alliance legion, a legion commander also saw the current situation.
Even if they killed all the Branded Monsters, it would be meaningless if they didn't destroy the Dragon Crystal.
This man could still use the teleportation function to escape.
Thus, he ordered: "Candice, it's time. Use that Tier 7 magic scroll!"
Hearing this, a Western female Survivor in the crowd showed a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
But she still followed the order and took out a green magic scroll from her backpack.
It contained a strong aura of wind.
With the injection of magic power, a breeze suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
And this breeze evolved into a hurricane in a short amount of time!
The next moment, a large tornado with a diameter of over one hundred meters appeared!
Moreover, this tornado could move, rushing forward at a speed of four to five hundred meters per second.
"Whoosh—"
The immense wind power swept through, and all the Branded Monsters along the way were sucked in and torn apart by the power of the gale!
This powerful magic even forcibly tore open the defensive line Cao Xing had constructed.
Seeing this scene, the Survivors' morale soared!
They shouted loudly.
"The defense line has been opened!"
"Charge! Take down Cao Xing!"
Clatter~!
A massive number of the Survivor army rushed in through this gap, wanting to instantly take down the Dragon Crystal.
However, at this very moment, Cao Xing descended once again like a purple swallow.
The moment he made contact with the ground, he pressed both hands directly into the earth!
"Clatter~!"
A terrifying chill erupted again, and an ice runway over two kilometers long appeared.
Then, with bursts of ice spikes erupting!
The charging Survivors fell like harvested wheat!
This wave of [Frozen Thousand Miles] harvested thousands of lives once again!
However, this time, it did not trigger the [Winter Wheel] effect of the Ancient Winter Robe.
And on the other side, the wind mage Allen also returned the favor with a wind spell!
Advanced Spell — Strangling Vortex!
"Whoosh — Whoosh —"
The tornado whistled past, harvesting a large number of low-health Survivors!
The defensive line that the Survivors had managed to tear open was ruthlessly blocked by Cao Xing again.
Everyone said with depressed faces.
"Damn it! Failed again!"
"Didn't this guy just release this skill not long ago? How can he still use it?"
"It's too outrageous. Does this kind of large-scale lethal spell not have a cooldown time?"
"Damn! This Cao Xing has too many tricks, doesn't he?"
Everyone found it hard to understand.
However, no matter how unbelievable it was, they had to sigh.
This man was simply a monster!
He could easily dismantle the advantage that everyone had worked so hard to build in an instant!
After another dozen minutes of tug-of-war.
Cao Xing's Branded Monsters had been beaten down to only thirty thousand left.
Seeing this, Cao Xing quickly gave an order.
"Everyone, assemble."
Hearing the order, the Ascalon Warriors who were slaughtering the ordinary Survivors returned to the vicinity of the crystal at the fastest speed.
And Cao Xing also directly activated the crystal's teleportation function.
"Hum!"
As the familiar pillar of light shot up.
Everyone knew that Cao Xing was preparing to teleport and run away!
In an instant, the Survivors fell into a frenzy!
They rushed over regardless of anything, wanting to concentrate fire to destroy the Dragon Crystal and stop him from escaping.
However, the Dragon Speaker's ultimate move at this moment — Dragon Oath Sword: Annihilation — had finished cooling down!
With the three swords slashed down, the familiar spatial rift appeared again.
"Clatter!"
Sword energy like rain!
It directly covered a radius of one kilometer.
All the Survivors did not dare to approach the range of the sword rain.
After all, the scene of this woman using this move to instantly kill thousands of people was still fresh in their minds.
No matter who rushed into the range of the sword rain, there was only one outcome.
That was to be instantly killed by the endless sword energy!
With unwilling gazes, they could only watch as the pillar of light erupting from the Dragon Crystal became more and more intense!
"Hum!"
The figures of Cao Xing and his group had already been enveloped by the pillar of light and were about to disappear from the spot.
And just at this moment, Cao Xing suddenly flew into the air and extended his right hand.
Then… he beckoned with his finger towards everyone in the Wind Faction.
That posture, that expression, as if saying — Come on!
It was full of provocation and mockery!
The next moment, the figures of Cao Xing and the others disappeared without a trace.
The hundreds of thousands of people on the field also saw his final gesture.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
Then, the emotion of anger erupted like a volcano!
"Damn! That damned Cao Xing, he is too arrogant!"
"He actually mocked and provoked us, I want him dead!"
"Damn it, I must take him down. We won't attack the Dragon Crystal today, just focus on him!"
This joint army had been completely enraged.
For a time, they began to frantically search for Cao Xing's location.
As long as they heard Cao Xing appeared, they would assemble the army and rush over to hunt him down like enraged beasts!
However, whenever they finally managed to rush over and had a great battle with the Branded Monsters.
Just as they were about to launch an attack on the Dragon Crystal.
This man would launch a group attack spell to clear the field, and then directly activate teleportation to escape!
It was as if he were doing it on purpose.
Giving them a little hope of victory, and then taking it away the moment they were about to touch the fruits of victory!
And when leaving, he didn't forget to beckon his finger!
Although they knew Cao Xing was deliberately infuriating them.
But they just couldn't control the anger in their hearts!
They gritted their teeth, with red eyes, swearing to completely defeat Cao Xing and regain their dignity!
Just like this, Cao Xing and the Survivors of the Wind Faction engaged in a cat-and-mouse war mode.
After 10 consecutive teleports, the time had already reached past six in the evening.
Thanks to this joint army, Cao Xing had already raked in 320,000 gold points so far!
This did not even count the Dragon Crystal settlement rewards at night.
Calculating this way, he was guaranteed to get 500,000 gold points today!
Thinking of this, Cao Xing was in an even better mood.
But by the time it was night, the Survivors of the Wind Faction seemed to have come to their senses.
In the joint legion, a commander regained his reason and then said.
"We can't be led by the nose like this anymore. With this teleportation function, we simply can't catch him."
"This guy has been deliberately infuriating us, just wanting us to fight him to the death."
"He can get points by killing people from our four major factions. On the current leaderboard, the gap between him and second place is getting wider and wider. This is all thanks to the kills we are delivering to him."
"Everyone, calm down!"
Hearing this person's persuasion, other commanders in the alliance army also gradually regained their reason.
The anger in their eyes faded.
In fact, after a whole day today, they had already understood this fact.
As long as Cao Xing can continue to teleport, there is simply no hope of killing this man.
So everyone didn't want to keep wasting time with him.
At this time, another commander asked.
"What should we do now? Should we give up directly, or gather more people to come over?"
The legion alliance channel fell into silence.
A moment later, someone said.
"Notify the others. If you see Cao Xing appear, retreat immediately!"
"Even if we can't deal with him, we must not let him farm points!"
When this order was issued, it meant they had helplessly admitted that no one in the Wind Faction could really deal with Cao Xing.
Unless they gathered the power of more people and directly pulled up a million-strong legion.
To overthrow the Branded Monsters at the fastest speed, not giving him time to teleport.
Otherwise, they would only be led by the nose by Cao Xing time and time again.
However, everyone now was busy dealing with more Branded Monsters to farm points, and not many people were willing to give up point rewards to run over to deal with this monster.
After all, compared to the entire Crystal Continent, the influence Cao Xing caused was still too limited.
Throughout the day, not many people could run into him.
As the saying goes, if the whip doesn't hit yourself, it doesn't hurt.
They only heard that Cao Xing was slaughtering the Survivors of the Wind Faction on a large scale, but without experiencing it personally, they naturally wouldn't have such an intense sense of urgency.
For everyone, the point rewards in front of them were more tangible, which was the key to exchanging for precious resources and improving their strength.
Meanwhile.
The Survivor lords of the major legions all received a message.
That was, do not confront Cao Xing head-on.
Run immediately after seeing him!
So, later when Cao Xing teleported to the vicinity of a new Dragon Crystal.
When those Survivors saw him, they turned around and ran almost without hesitation!
And Cao Xing, who was preparing to continue farming points, was slightly stunned.
But he quickly reacted, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that these people from the Wind Faction have admitted defeat and don't want to continue entangling with me anymore."
"They even notified others to let them run away directly and not send me points, right?"
Cao Xing chuckled.
Although the decisions of these legion commanders were correct.
But it was a pity that they were facing Cao Xing.
Even if these Survivors didn't fight back and just ran away, he could still farm points off them.
You have to know, the warriors under his command were not only strong in combat ability.
Their mobility was also incredibly terrifying!
With a 130% movement speed bonus, plus level suppression.
The warriors under Cao Xing were more than twice as fast as them.
Therefore, on the dark purple crystal land, a strange scene appeared.
Over a hundred thousand Survivors were running wildly, looking so panicked as if a million-strong army was hunting them down; everyone was running as fast as they could!
Yet behind them, there were only a thousand or so figures, chasing right on their heels.
The large number of Survivors looked back at the ferocious Ascalon Warriors.
Along with the flying dragons, griffins, and Frost Moose overhead, they had long since lost all will to fight.
Each of them ran with all their might, fearing they might be a step slower than the others.
The warriors found dealing with such non-resisting creatures to be effortless.
They brandished their weapons, flashes of blades flickering.
It was almost one kill per swing.
Cao Xing's points were also skyrocketing at a crazy speed; the numbers were jumping so fast it was dizzying!
The Survivors in the livestream were stunned.
"Holy crap… am I crazy, or is this world crazy? A thousand people hunting down over a hundred thousand?"
"This is so ridiculous. What are the brothers in the Wind Faction doing? Fight back!"
"They can't fight back. Fighting back means getting beaten, and running away means getting beaten, so they might as well run faster, maybe they'll save their lives."
"You can't blame the brothers from the Wind Faction; the enemy is just too strong."
"Yeah…"
The Survivors sighed one after another.
Meanwhile, Survivors from the four major factions also heard about this absurd affair.
A thousand people chasing down over a hundred thousand?
Am I crazy or is this world crazy?
Furthermore, they heard that while Cao Xing was hunting these Survivors, his points were also increasing at a terrifying speed.
For a moment, everyone opened the points leaderboard to take a look.
[Five Major Factions Points Leaderboard]
[1st Place: Cao Xing, Cumulative Points: 713342, Faction: Crystal Dragon Faction]
[2nd Place: Angelina Zorn, Cumulative Points: 91634, Faction: Nature Goddess Faction]
[3rd Place: Wang Tao, Cumulative Points: 87626, Faction: Order Goddess Faction]
[4th Place: Mikhailovich Astarov, Cumulative Points: 86424, Faction: Life Goddess Faction]
[5th Place…]
Seeing that 700,000 figure, not just the Survivors in the livestream, but the Survivors from the other three major factions were also stunned.
Didn't everyone agree to unite to kick Cao Xing out and stop him from farming points?
Yet today on the points leaderboard, his momentum is even fiercer than yesterday!
The chat channels of the four major factions were going crazy!
"Holy crap! What are the brothers in the Wind Faction doing? Didn't you say you'd unite to stop him? Why does it feel like you're helping him farm points!"
"This is too absurd. At this rate, he's going to have a ten-fold lead over second place!"
Meanwhile, over at the Wind Faction, after being slaughtered the whole way, they also realized the problem.
"We can't keep running. If we run like this, more people will get killed!"
"We have to send a portion of our people to fight him and slow down these warriors."
The Wind Faction Survivors turned around and started fighting Cao Xing again!
Since they were going to get killed anyway, they might as well die in a blaze of glory!
"Boom! Crack!"
A large number of Survivors fought to the death!
However, under the charge of the Ascalon Warriors, all of this was futile.
A dozen minutes later.
They left behind over thirty thousand corpses and retreated like a receding tide…
It is worth mentioning that because dying in the Battle of the Oracle does not count as actual death.
Therefore, their corpses disappeared after a while, leaving no way for Hilda to hatch them into the Blood Spider army.
After this battle ended.
Cao Xing also took a look at the remaining teleportation count.
There were 5 times left.
"Very good. At the current pace, one crystal stronghold takes about half an hour to fight."
"If utilized well, it's enough to last until today's battle ends."
Thus, Cao Xing ordered the Ascalon Warriors, who had chased over ten kilometers out, to return, preparing to head to the next stronghold for battle.
"Clatter…"
A few minutes later, all the warriors returned!
Their eyes held expressions of excitement—the joy and pride brought by victory!
The battles over these past two days have all been complete routs.
Under continuous slaughter, an aura had emerged on everyone.
It was the confidence and glory accumulated through countless victories!
Like a sword unsheathed, sharp and unstoppable, as if it could sever everything!
Cao Xing also felt that aura on them.
He praised inwardly: "Not bad, not bad. The soldiers are getting stronger and stronger."
"At this rate, I feel like I really might cultivate an invincible army!"
Cao Xing felt very gratified.
Of course, his side was not without losses.
Today alone, Cao Xing's side had suffered 117 casualties in total.
If they were outside, these hundred-plus casualties would be a significant loss, even for him.
However, in the Battle of the Oracle, this was nothing.
At most, it only cost him one or two thousand points.
Cao Xing earns hundreds of thousands of points a day, so it was painless.
However… to resurrect these warriors, he would have to wait until the battle ended, which was after 12 midnight.
This was the same for the Survivors from the four major factions.
Moreover, they had one more restriction than Cao Xing: they could only resurrect their troops after returning to the main city.
Thus, Cao Xing continued: "Well then, everyone, there are five hours left in the second day's battle."
"Let's keep fighting and strive to kill more enemies!"
Upon hearing this, all the warriors responded loudly in unison.
"Kill!"
That unified cry of battle seemed to pierce the clouds and shake the earth!
Even the Survivors lingering a few kilometers away couldn't help but turn pale after feeling the killing intent erupted by this group of warriors!
Meanwhile.
Cao Xing continued to activate teleportation.
In the subsequent crystal strongholds, Cao Xing maintained his previous pace.
Each stronghold raked in about twenty thousand to thirty thousand points.
Time flew by, and it was 11 PM.
And Cao Xing's 15 teleportation opportunities were all used up.
At the same time, a system prompt appeared.
[Attention all Survivors! The second day of the Battle of the Oracle is about to end. The Crystal Dragon Krakatoa will awaken in one hour and will release a cleansing magic. Please return to the main city as soon as possible.]
…
Seeing the prompt, almost all the Survivors obediently returned to the four major main cities.
After all, the terrifying scene of the dragon's awakening yesterday was still fresh in their minds.
Under that kind of plane-wide attack, those who were stubborn died.
"Clatter…"
An army of over ten billion, divided into four massive waves, returned to the main city.
…
Cao Xing was also fighting the last wave of the army at this moment.
That group of Survivors had just finished off half of the Branded Monster army.
They were just about to destroy the crystal.
But now they had no choice but to retreat helplessly.
Before leaving, everyone took a deep look at that man.
It could be said that in the two days since the Battle of the Oracle battlefield opened, almost all the Survivors in the world had remembered this man!
Soon, only Cao Xing and his army remained here.
Cao Xing glanced at the current points leaderboard, and an expression of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
"Not bad, the cumulative points have already reached 800,000."
"That is to say, I earned nearly 470,000 points today alone."
"And next, the number of preserved Crystal Dragons will also give me additional points settlement."
"According to estimates, I can get a guaranteed 600,000 points today!"
After calculating this number, a smile appeared on the corner of Cao Xing's mouth.
After all, this is equivalent to six Master-level Hearts of Power, which can allow quite a few strong subordinates of his to make a breakthrough.
And every Master-level power is extremely strong.
Once these rewards are digested, it also means that the strength of Cao Xing's territory is getting closer and closer to the Church of Light!
Thinking of this, he became even more excited.
…
As the Survivors withdrew one after another, the dark purple crystal land once again became a world dominated by Branded Monsters.
Time quickly reached around midnight.
"Roar—"
As that terrifying roar sounded again, the entire crystal land began to boil once more!
"Crackle!"
"Sizzle… sizzle…"
Dark purple lightning rose up, and mist completely shrouded the crystal land.
And Cao Xing heard the system prompt again.
[The second day of the Battle of the Oracle has ended. Rewards are being settled based on the remaining number of crystals * number of days.]
[Number of crystals destroyed today: 5425, remaining Crystal Dragon quantity 89152 * 2 days = 178304 points.]
[Main crystal has been preserved for two days, obtained gold points: 2.]
…
And at this moment.
Cao Xing looked at his points skyrocketing by another large chunk, feeling so comfortable inside.
After all, these points were given extra.
The four major factions did not have this kind of treatment like Cao Xing.
It could be said that even if Cao Xing didn't go to fight and stayed among the Branded Monsters every day, he could sit firmly in first place just by relying on the daily settlement rewards.
The reason he could have this treatment was naturally because his points reached first place in the entire server during the challenge of Zhuo Mas Claw!
And this time, he also chose to be in a faction all by himself.
No matter which condition was missing, he would not be able to obtain such special treatment.
Strength and courage—neither could be lacking.
"Very good. Today I harvested a total of 650,000 points, 50,000 more than I expected!"
"That means I can exchange for 6 Master-level Hearts of Power!"
Clearly, at the current stage, nothing could provide a greater improvement than letting his subordinates break through to the Master level.
Thinking of this, Cao Xing waved his hand!
And clicked exchange directly.
[Do you wish to consume 600,000 points to exchange for Master-level Heart of Power * 6?]
"Yes."
As 600,000 points were consumed,
six red crystals exuding powerful auras appeared in his inventory.
A smile appeared on Cao Xing's face again.
"This is really great…"
"If I hadn't chosen to join the Crystal Dragon Faction, I wouldn't have had the chance to get so many Master-level Hearts of Power."
"Now, my strength has truly entered a period of explosive growth!"
"Once the Battle of the Oracle ends, I don't even know how strong my territory will be!"
At this moment, Cao Xing couldn't wait to reach the last day of the Battle of the Oracle!
