At that very moment.
Gao Kai's staff, which had been swept horizontally, was now pointed forward.
*Ding...*
A crisp sound.
The tip of Gao Kai's staff directly touched the tail end of the greatsword.
The greatsword tilted, and the attack originally aimed at Ma Deju's head.
Due to his interference, it struck the ground instead.
*Boom...*
Simultaneously, Ma Deju's thousand-meter-long giant sword projection.
Was also flung away by him.
It struck directly ahead.
At that moment, the heavens and earth trembled!
*Whoosh...*
All players directly hit by this attack died. Immediately, a fiery red expanse erupted with flames reaching the sky.
Then, he separated his hands.
The colossal blood-colored greatsword phantom actually split in two from the middle.
It was cleaved to both sides.
The soaring flames parted as well, extending for a thousand meters and burning on either side.
Ma Deju and his team passed directly through the middle.
This thousand-meter distance instantly became a safe zone.
No player could pass through.
A mere touch would spread throughout the body and burn them to death.
This was the karma fire from hell; even with continuous healing, it was useless if it didn't burn people to death.
Chu Tian smiled slightly upon seeing this.
Had everyone's strength improved so much during his absence?
He no longer had a clear understanding of these old brothers.
At this moment, the Ni Shen Alliance's team had completely penetrated the three allied armies' formation.
Those watching the live broadcast were all dumbfounded.
Meanwhile, in the sky, Yi Jian Po Jun, after his attack was blocked by Gao Kai,
Narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp and cold.
With a flick of his wrist, the greatsword returned to his hand.
He looked at Gao Kai with a hint of wariness.
This Priest...
Had managed to pinpoint the weakest spot of his attack in an instant.
It was the junction where the greatsword's tail connected to the chain.
Which was why he could parry his attack.
And this Priest's strength... was somewhat unusual.
Even if an ordinary Priest knew the weakest point of his attack, they wouldn't be able to block it with such a seemingly effortless strike.
Priests were a healing class, relying on high intelligence and possessing almost no strength.
Priests were almost always completely suppressed by Warriors.
Yet, the Priest before him was still approaching him.
Was he perhaps intending to engage in melee combat with him?
"Holy Light... Judgment!"
Just as he had this thought, Gao Kai suddenly raised the staff in his hand.
He uttered four words.
However, there was no magical fluctuation from his body.
Instead, the cute little owl at his feet began to emit a scorching white light.
The white light emanated from its tail, spreading across its entire body, and finally concentrating on the crescent moon above its head.
"Ya ya ya..."
This owl actually made a childish sound.
The crescent moon shone brilliantly.
A milky white beam of light shot out.
This light was aimed directly at Yi Jian Po Tian's... griffon at his feet.
His griffon was also a flying battle pet.
Yi Jian Po Tian reacted instantly.
"Lion's Roar..."
His battle pet opened its mouth, and a sonic wave emerged.
"Roar..."
It flew directly towards the milky white beam of light.
The intention was to counter the incoming attack and block this so-called Holy Light Judgment.
"Haha... this idiot is going to capsize in a ditch!"
From the team below, Ma Deju had retreated to the rear lines.
He took a moment to look up.
The current vanguard was led by Sheng Guang Hu You Ni.
He too wielded a greatsword, engaging the enemies charging from the front.
Wherever his greatsword passed, all players he fought against had their heads severed.
"Hurry up... you still have time to watch the show... quickly refresh your CDs!"
Zhao Lei kicked him from behind.
Ma Deju rubbed his nose.
He had already activated his dual-wielding style.
A greatsword in his right hand.
In his left, he held a bloody phantom.
The two weapons were swung by him, creating countless afterimages.
All players who clashed with him were dismembered.
They had now penetrated the enemy formation by a full 3 kilometers.
But the enemy was too numerous; the 9 million spread out over an area of about 15 kilometers.
However, as it stood, they could only hope to push through quickly.
But, what was the boss's intention?
The demonized fel energy battle, the vehicle was parked there.
It had not followed them in their charge.
And in the air, the Holy Light Judgment emitted by Gao Kai's mount.
Did not dissipate from the opponent's sonic wave.
Instead, it cut through the opponent's sonic wave.
He himself adjusted his altitude.
Instantly rising quite a bit.
The opponent's sonic wave slid past his feet.
While his Holy Light Judgment landed directly on the forehead of the opponent's mount.
"Aoo..."
Yi Jian Po Tian felt a jolt.
He hadn't expected that this skill unleashed by Gao Kai would not be broken by him.
However, this skill seemed to have no offensive power.
It struck the mount, not even losing a sliver of blood.
But in the next second, the griffon beneath his feet shook violently.
It let out roaring cries.
Then, it flipped in the air.
Yi Jian Po Tian quickly grabbed the reins.
But the griffon seemed to be beyond his control.
It contorted in the air, trying to shake him off.
It also continuously whipped its long tail, like a scorpion's stinger.
It repeatedly swept towards his back.
It was even attacking Yi Jian Po Tian.
"Beast!"
Yi Jian Po Tian was enraged.
The mount beneath his feet had actually turned against him.
Meanwhile, Gao Kai floated in the distance, watching this scene with a smile that was not quite a smile.
This was the sole attack of his exclusive mount.
Specifically targeting any mounts, it could confuse the opponent's mind.
With a certain probability, it could capture the opponent and sever the contract between the mount and its owner.
And that certain probability had just taken effect.
The griffon beneath Yi Jian Po Tian's feet no longer belonged to him.
Yi Jian Po Tian naturally noticed something was wrong, roaring in anger.
He swung his longsword directly.
*Crackle...*
Blood splattered.
He actually directly used his greatsword to decapitate the griffon beneath his feet.
"Ah..."
"That's too damn ruthless!"
"This person... is not to be trifled with, killing his own mount just like that! And with such decisiveness."
Those watching the live broadcast naturally saw this scene.
And it was a close-up shot on the screen.
Many people, seeing the headless griffon, felt a pang of pity.
Blood sprayed as the griffon continued to tumble in the air.
Yi Jian Po Tian, covered in blood, kicked away the griffon's corpse with one foot.
Gliding through the air, before landing, he used a move called Thunder Leap.
By using Thunder Leap to land again, the falling damage could be negated.
Upon landing, he thrust his greatsword into the ground.
Looking up at Gao Kai in the sky, his face was filled with rage.
While Gao Kai circled above him for a moment before turning back to rejoin the team.
Yi Jian Po Tian, having lost his flying mount, became a ground unit.
His threat was greatly reduced.
Gao Kai was confident that even if this fellow led his team to charge against the Ni Shen Alliance, they wouldn't be able to shake them.
The only thing he feared was him causing trouble in the air.
They had already investigated the reputation of Yi Jian Po Tian.
This person was indeed powerful.
In the Western War Zone, he had created as many legends as Chu Tian in the Northern War Zone.
However... this was not a one-on-one battle.
Individual strength was extremely insignificant.
No matter how strong you were, even with a heaven-defying skill, there would be cooldowns.
By the time Gao Kai returned to the team, they were already deep within the enemy formation. In a short period, the Ni Shen Alliance had charged halfway through the 9 million allied forces.
Everyone was utterly shocked.
At the same time, they were perplexed, wondering if formations in the game were truly that powerful.
More than half the distance had been covered, and as the tip of the spear, the members had almost used up all their skills.
Just as they were worrying about how to cover the remaining distance.
They heard an order from Chu Tian.
Which left everyone stunned.
