Chapter 326: Masters of the Dragon Ranking
Whoosh! Whoosh!!
Sharp arrows, accompanied by a piercing sound as they pierced through the air, sliced through the relatively weak yet densely fired arrow rain, embedding themselves deeply in the not-so-durable shields of over a dozen players. The rest sent several players who tried to block the arrows with their weapons flying into the air before slamming into the crowd behind them!
Chaos erupted in the main hall of the Jade Fox Palace…
However, the Jade Fox Palace’s fierce counterattack was not ineffective either. A torrent of arrows was fired from the gates and atop the high walls, like swarms of locusts, leaving no room to dodge.
The archers of the First Rank Hall braved this hailstorm of attacks bravely!
The intense arrow rain even caused the First Rank Hall’s forces to pause their attacks… A few unlucky masters who failed to cover themselves were even wounded on the spot.
“Divide into two groups!”
“Fire arrows!”
Loud voices rang out from within the main hall.
Before the first wave of arrows had fully ceased, the sound of drawn bows rang out again, incessantly!
Whoosh…
Although the number of black arrows had decreased significantly, their lethality and intimidation remained strong. Under such conditions, it was difficult for the First Rank Hall’s archers to face the onslaught calmly—countless arrows struck their faces, and anyone would likely lose the ability to hold their bow.
Several rounds of arrow fire allowed the Jade Fox Palace to gain the upper hand, posing continuous threats to the First Rank Hall’s members. Many of them saw their protective auras dim significantly!
Leveraging their home advantage, the Jade Fox Palace defended fiercely, making the most of their numerical superiority!
Outside the main hall, the members of the Jade Fox Palace on the streets and rooftops were filled with excitement and enthusiasm.
“As expected of the Jade Fox Palace.”
Even the Monk with Thick brows hadn’t anticipated that dozens of elite archers would be defeated by a group of inferior archers. Frowning, he quickly realized that continuing to delay might cost them all the advantages they had gained so far. Gritting his teeth, he issued the most direct attack order…
“Second group, charge!”
Boom!
In an instant, hundreds of people’s protective auras flared brightly! They drew their weapons and, risking being hit by arrows, charged forward desperately, blocking arrows while enduring intense pain.
They were determined to win!!
A few people collapsed halfway…
Since they were charging at full speed, their protection wasn’t thorough enough, and their auras couldn’t withstand the attacks from so many elite archers. Over a dozen who were at the forefront were knocked to the ground.
Yipin Hall finally suffered casualties!
The Monk with Thick Eyebrows watched from behind, feeling heartache.
Although Yipin Hall’s losses were currently negligible compared to those of the Jade Fox Palace, Yipin Hall was extremely selective in recruiting members—requiring the highest level of cultivation, and now even at least one master-level martial skill. Any loss was a setback for the future.
Though this might seem dismissive and condescending toward the Jade Fox Palace’s members, as if viewing them as inferior, in his eyes, that was simply the truth.
However!
After breaking through the 30-meter mark, the situation changed completely.
The arrows shot from the main hall could no longer threaten those approaching the high walls.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
One after another, dozens of Yipin Hall members leaped onto the high walls…
With a single step!
Before many in the main hall could react, they rushed into the crowd at even greater speed!
“Shoot them down!” “Kill them!”
Chaos finally arose among the Jade Fox Palace’s commanders—some shooting arrows, others drawing swords—only to be swiftly overpowered by the Yipin Hall members who rushed at them.
It was a relentless advance!
Ordinary members of the Jade Fox Palace fell almost instantly in the face of Yipin Hall’s elite—masterful martial skills and top-notch weapons—these were Yipin Hall’s foundation and strength!
“Get lost!!!”
A furious roar, like a sword descending from the sky—just as one Yipin Hall member had knocked down two Jade Fox Palace disciples, he suddenly felt a gust of wind hit him. Looking up, he saw a bright red hole in his chest…
Thud!
His body fell to the ground, and beside him appeared a middle-aged man with a furious expression and a square face. He scanned the surroundings, his long sword trembling violently as he roared in anger. Dozens of Jade Fox Palace members followed, all experts at the Mysterious Realm level. They rushed out of the crowd to join their comrades in blocking the enemies, swords clashing as chaos ensued.
“Brother Lü!”
“Brother Lü, you’re back!!”
“That’s great!”
The morale of the Jade Fox Palace soared.
The man was none other than the vice-prefect of the Jade Fox Palace, “Lü Zhen Tian.” Known for his invisible killing style with “World in the Sleeve,” he was hailed as the second strongest fighter after the palace master, “Nonsense Talker.”
The latter glanced around—at least 150 of their brothers had died on the ground, blood flowing like rivers. His long sword roared with fury!
“Hmph!”
“What a Yipin Hall!”
Before his words faded, he had already rushed to the side of a nearby Yipin Hall member. Without giving the latter time to react, his right-hand sword emitted a dazzling glow…
The latter’s vision became completely blurred!
Once the sword light disappeared, Lü Zhentian appeared behind him at some unknown moment. Dark red drops of blood slowly fell from the long sword…
“Taking advantage of our leader’s absence to commit such despicable acts of ambushing our foundation members—this is the style of Yipin Tang! This is the manner of the top-tier gang, Yipin Tang! I really want to see how much more skill you have!”
By killing two people in quick succession, Lü Zhentian’s arrival greatly boosted the morale of the Jade Fox Palace.
“Leader Lü, you’re wrong about that…”
Just as the Jade Fox Palace prepared to launch a counterattack, a leisurely and relaxed voice lazily came from atop the wall, drawing everyone’s attention.
There stood a man dressed in black, with two knives strapped to his back, sitting carefree on the wall with one foot dangling in the air. He said, “Whether your leader is here or not has nothing to do with us. Has the leader of Yipin Tang ever shown up before? This is purely to avenge those dozen or so brothers from our sect. Heh, four hundred against eight thousand disciples of your Jade Fox Palace—no one will dare blame Yipin Tang for this!”
“Reveal your name!” Lü Zhentian’s gaze turned stern as he sensed an inexplicable pressure from the stranger.
The latter laughed loudly, swiftly leaped down to the training ground, landed steadily, and then walked toward Lü Zhentian at a calm pace. “You can call me ‘Evil Wolf’…”
“Evil Wolf?” It was clear Lü Zhentian had never heard this name before.
The latter flashed a warm smile and stopped about five meters away from Lü Zhentian.
His shoulders trembled, and the two knives fell into his hands with a sharp sound—an exceptionally smooth and graceful motion! His eyes sharpened, and a scorching gaze shot out, hitting Lü Zhentian’s face. His voice turned slightly hoarse as he said, “I just ranked 99th on the Dragon List. I look forward to your guidance.”
