Chapter 1 The Chief Knight of Tyrannical Ambition Charges Forward, the Boss Fight Officially Begins

The Boss fight officially began with Tyrannical Ambition's chief knight charging forward. Zhang Xinjie personally directed everyone's positioning. Fighting the Boss was secondary; the important thing was to prevent other guilds from snatching it. Especially now that there was an opponent like Ye Qiu in the enemy ranks, it was even more crucial.

However, Zhang Xinjie's arrangements first encountered Blue Brook Guild, not the Ye Qiu team they were most wary of.

Chun Yi Lao, Lan Qiao Chun Xue, Shuguang Xuan Bing, Ru Ye Han, and Bi Yan Fei, Blue Brook Guild's five great experts were all present. These 70-level Boss competitions were the highest stage for these so-called online game experts.

But today, Blue Brook Guild's star wasn't any of these five.

Liu Yun.

Zhang Xinjie saw this swordsman again, the guy who triggered the berserk state of Red Turban Karna in the Boss battle, turning the entire situation around.

But the problem was that he didn't turn the situation in Blue Brook Guild's favor but created an opportunity for Ye Qiu's group. He was truly a stirrer of the pot who didn't benefit himself but only others.

However, characters with outstanding individual abilities were undoubtedly ticking time bombs. Zhang Xinjie had miscalculated such a kid last time, and by the time he wanted to react on the spot, it was too late. In fact, it wasn't Zhang Xinjie's reaction that was slow, but the execution of Tyrannical Ambition's players wasn't responsive enough. If instructions were given but not effectively executed, then even the most outstanding command would be ineffective.

This time, he couldn't let this kid slip through the cracks again.

As soon as Liu Yun appeared, Zhang Xinjie had already set his sights on him. In his eyes, this might be Blue Brook Guild's only hidden danger.

"Team one, squads four and five, team two, squads four and five, Blue Brook Guild direction, prepare to charge!" With Zhang Xinjie's order, Tyrannical Ambition took the initiative. And squad four in these two teams had been arranged according to the previous intelligence about Blue Brook Guild's direction, so their attack was very smooth. Everyone felt that their skills were readily available, as if they didn't need to think.

Blue Brook Guild hadn't even figured out how to attack, but Tyrannical Ambition had already made the first move.

"Ah! They're already here!" Lu Hanwen exclaimed in surprise, and Liu Yun drew his sword and charged.

Tyrannical Ambition had Zhang Xinjie. Chun Yi Lao was, of course, aware of this situation, but they couldn't not fight! No matter how difficult, they had to bite the bullet. Chun Yi Lao already had some ideas in mind. If Zhang Xinjie kept supporting Tyrannical Ambition like this, then he might have to report it to the club. This kind of defeat wasn't their fault. If he could defeat Zhang Xinjie, he should be leading the team, not the guild.

"Long-range bombardment. Close-range push. Flat push." Chun Yi Lao said only six words in the guild channel. His habit of disliking typing was particularly annoying at times like this. If it were someone unfamiliar, they definitely wouldn't understand what he was babbling about. But now, his subordinates were all elites he had personally trained, so they could understand Chun Yi Lao's concise team instructions. Because of this, Blue Brook Guild's elite team was quite efficient in combat because the commander didn't waste much time typing.

Blue Brook Guild's team pushed forward together, but Liu Yun was at the forefront, his sword flashing, cutting through the Tyrannical Ambition team that was attacking head-on.

But when he looked ahead again, Lu Hanwen found several knights standing there.

"Not good!" A particularly ominous premonition arose in Lu Hanwen's heart. Just a little while ago, he had been tormented by knights. And now, less than two hours had passed since that experience. His Liu Yun's experience points hadn't fully recovered, and his attributes were still red!

Lu Hanwen quickly tried to keep Liu Yun away from those knights, but it was too late. One of the knights directly activated Knight Spirit, and a roar included his Liu Yun completely. Liu Yun couldn't help but charge towards that knight.

He really didn't learn from his mistakes and was always so reckless!

Lu Hanwen secretly blamed himself and quickly called for help in the channel, "Status!"

"What status?" Chun Yi Lao was quite confused when he saw the message. But Lan He, who had already fought with Lu Hanwen once, seemed to have a telepathic understanding and immediately shouted, "Not good! Quickly find knights and qigong masters! He must have been taunted away."

Lan He's prediction was accurate, but it was too slow for them to organize a rescue. Under Zhang Xinjie's personal command, the knights on Tyrannical Ambition's side gradually equipped their swords, pulling Lu Hanwen's Liu Yun further and further away. Lu Hanwen was really helpless. Even though he could still use skills like Sword Shadow Steps when being taunted, it was useless. The taunt skill automatically pulled the real body.

The rescue that Lu Hanwen had hoped for ultimately didn't come. Zhang Xinjie had anticipated this and deliberately blocked the subsequent support. Then, Lu Hanwen's Liu Yun was quickly killed. This was the difference between this time and the last time he encountered this situation. Last time, he was controlled and dragged all the way, but this time, he was killed as quickly as possible after being pulled over. There was strength in numbers, especially when there was a god-level commander.

In the Boss battle, the two guilds encountered each other. Two minutes later, Blue Brook Guild's strongest killer was dead.

"Charged too fast..." Lu Hanwen resurrected Liu Yun in the city and sent a shamed sweating expression in the guild channel, as if explaining something.

"Add oil!" Chun Yi Lao replied to him with this sentence, and he even added an exclamation mark, which he usually avoided to save effort.

"Okay! I'll come again!" Lu Hanwen shouted.

Chun Yi Lao smiled wryly. When Lu Hanwen came again, what would Blue Brook Guild look like? Would they have already been defeated beyond recognition? It was really too difficult for them, these online game players, to maintain their confidence and persistence in front of the professional gods.

Chun Yi Lao continued to command the team. Blue Brook Guild used the firepower of long-range classes as cover, advancing forward in layers. Under their steady advance, the layers of defense set up by Tyrannical Ambition seemed to be unable to withstand it. Blue Brook Guild's advance seemed to be going quite smoothly.

Unfortunately, all of this was just an illusion. Just when the people of Blue Brook Guild thought their advance was going smoothly, Tyrannical Ambition suddenly launched a wave of strong counterattacks. It was like a spring that had been compressed to the bottom and suddenly rebounded after reaching its limit.

Faced with the tide of counterattacks, Blue Brook Guild's players were immediately dumbfounded. Their team hadn't responded to such a forced attack, neither tactically nor psychologically.

If Blue Brook Guild had just advanced four coordinate areas, then after this wave of counterattacks, they were pushed back a full six coordinate areas by Tyrannical Ambition.

Death? Equipment dropping?

These couldn't be counted for the time being. These things always accompanied defeat. Chun Yi Lao sighed. It wasn't that he was discouraging his own team and boosting the morale of others, but he wouldn't be surprised at all to lose to Zhang Xinjie's Tyrannical Ambition elite team.

Just then, both guilds received new intelligence: Righteous Slash, Misty Clouds, Shining Era, and Supreme Warriors were approaching.

Who would have cared about these four guilds in the past? But now, everyone shuddered at the mention of these four guilds. Anyone who didn't was just pretending.

Even Zhang Xinjie immediately began asking for detailed information. Which commander would still be in the mood to laugh and watch the situation unfold?

Specific intelligence showed that the four guilds were divided into two groups, Righteous Slash and Misty Clouds in one group, and Shining Era and Supreme Warriors in the other, advancing in two directions towards Midnight Tavern.

"Divided into two groups..." Zhang Xinjie pondered, then asked, "Did you see Ye Qiu in either group?"

"We haven't seen Wudao Jun yet."

This was the final answer, and the answer also contained some subtlety. They only said they didn't see Wudao Jun, but they didn't say they didn't see Ye Qiu. Everyone knew that Ye Qiu would occasionally change his ID. They knew this when they were staring at Wudao Jun to kill him...

"He wants to make it difficult for us to find the focus of our defense," Zhang Xinjie thought, "But, he'll always be on one side."

Zhang Xinjie quickly deployed, making defensive preparations on both sides according to the two directions of the four guilds. But neither side's deployment was the focus. The focus was on the several mobile teams stationed in the middle. These teams could now contribute to killing the Boss, and the defensive positions on both sides had reserved gaps for them. If either side was under pressure, they could immediately turn around and reinforce.

"You don't need to worry too much about either side." After Zhang Xinjie finished deploying, he carefully looked at the overall layout and was extremely satisfied. As for Blue Brook Guild, after receiving this news, they temporarily retreated. Hard resistance? Blue Brook Guild wasn't confident against either of these forces with god-level players. The only possible opportunity was to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, hoping to find an easy bargain.

"They're here!"

When Jiang You received another message and relayed it to Zhang Xinjie, the people in the visible field of vision had already seen the teams coming straight from two directions.

"Prepare to meet the enemy, don't be polite. The sooner we find out which side Ye Qiu is on, the sooner we can take precautions," Zhang Xinjie said.

"The people from Samsara are also arriving soon," Jiang You said.

"Okay, I know." Zhang Xinjie nodded. He would consider all kinds of situations that were about to happen, no matter how big or small. This was his consistent style.

But, that was on the premise that the situations that would happen were within his expectations.

What if it was unexpected?

Righteous Slash, Misty Clouds, Shining Era, and Supreme Warriors, the four guilds' teams, quickly arrived and charged in without making adjustments.

"Intercept!" Zhang Xinjie issued the interception order, and the two sides fought as a团.

"This side is dangerous!" The right side had already reported first. Zhang Xinjie smiled slightly and sent a message with a wave of his hand, "Mobile teams support the right side."

The mobile teams that received the order stopped fighting the Boss and joined the pk. According to the prearranged plan, they directly inserted into the right side with an attacking posture.

Zhang Xinjie's smile only lasted for a second. The left side reported, "Danger! Danger!"

"What's going on?" Zhang Xinjie was shocked.

"There's an expert! An expert!" The left side players shouted wildly.
