Even after Lu Chen had retired from a serious illness, with the support of Li Chengfeng, Ghost Valley Zi, Beiming Xue, and the others, the Ancient Sword was still able to make it to the top of the mountain, known as the number one guild of the Heavenly Path. However, because Little Heavenly King Lu Chen was not around, it created a situation where the heroes were united.

The King's Guild of the Chinese Server, what a dreamy title!

… ….

Looking from afar, He Yi and his thousand ancient swords guard the outer walls of Tong Tian Tower for about a mile, they are indeed very useful, at least they are much more useful than our heaven's selection team. It seems, just like what Su Xi Ran said, a small studio can't overturn the heavens, only creating a guild is the way to go, but I don't want to think about all the past events, I don't dare and I don't want to think about it.

"Boss, don't be in a daze. The monsters are coming!"

Xu Jiaqing said with a smile.

"Oh, oh, oh ~ ~ ~"

A group of Giant Ghosts charged over, opening their jaws wide as skill after skill of Devouring landed on my body. However, they were blocked by the Soul Gathering Shield time and time again, and following that were numerous Abyssal Knights, their killing intensity grew stronger and stronger. The players who were guarding the second, third, and fourth floors of Tong Tian Tower were also under increasing pressure, especially those on the third floor.

Not long after, it was already 4 in the morning, which also meant that I hadn't slept for 24 hours. Furthermore, during my time in Tong Tian Tower, I had maintained a high intensity killing technique, the Heaven's Selection Group had less people, and was unable to form a human wall. If I was just a little careless, I might be killed by the monsters in an instant.

"Sister Xiran, I'm tired and hungry …"

Xu Jiaqing narrowed her beautiful eyes and said to Su Xi Ran, who was standing beside her.

Su Xi Ran laughed lightly: "Just bear with it. Team D has been online for a long time. Don't you see that he is still persisting? We have no way of logging off, so we can only fight our way through the entire battle in the north. Cheng Cheng, you see, your points are still just a bit away from entering the top three.

I glanced at the scoreboard and comforted myself. The high intensity of leveling had brought me the first rank on the leaderboard and no one had been able to surpass it.

1. He Xi 80, Dragon Territory Traveller Points: 427920

2. Tillamisu, level 81, Earth Spirit Master Points: 362710

3. Beiming Xue, Level 80, Earth Archer, Level: 331400

4. Level 80 Earth Spirit Master Points: 328700

5. Candle Shadow Chaotic Level 80 Earth Swordsman Points: 28,2320

Level 80 Feruana Earth Spirit Master Points: 278220

7. Level 80 Earth Swordsman Points: 269,870

[Dance of God] Level 80 Earth Spirit Master Points: 264870

LV79 Earth Talisman Master Points: 250,300

10. Rank 78 Earth Spirit Master Points: 248120

… ….

Meanwhile, Candle Shadow, Great Diagram, and the rest of the world all fell a little, showing the fatigue of the melee professions. Fern Moon's ranking had risen a little, and Lin Che had charged into the top ten ranks. The heaven's selection team had truly achieved a one on ten, so the score acquisition rate was much higher than the other teams.

The beautiful spirit master of the Hall of Heroes, the younger sister of her brother-in-law, her performance was very outstanding. She had already stood out in the war between the two rivers. It seemed that another top spirit master was going to appear in the Chinese battlefield.

"Our Colossal Deer City is so powerful!"

Looking at the rankings, Wang Jinghai narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Six of the top ten Li on the rankings are from our Colossal Deer City. This is a bit unexpected."

Su Xi Ran smiled indifferently: "It's normal, the Great Deer City has a lot of players stationed in the Yangtze River Delta, so naturally there are many experts. Shanghai is a city competing in electricity, the Knight's Guild is located in Shanghai, and Suzhou is where the Moon King is born. Squadron D, Lin Che, Cheng Cheng and Tang Yun are all top-ranked players, so it's not strange."

I stabbed through the Giant Mouthy Ghost's heart and directly minced him into pieces. "Alright, be more serious. There are more and more monsters. I feel that Skysplit Tower is about to collapse."

"Yes."

Lin Che raised his head and looked at the distant upper echelon. "Even if the upper echelons can hold on, the lower echelons will soon fall. Once the Purgatory Legion's lower defenses are destroyed, the upper echelons probably won't be able to hold on either."

Xu Jiaqing blinked her bright eyes and asked, "If Skysplit Tower fell, what would the consequences be?"

One is the Tianfeng City in the south, the other is the White Deer City in the north. As long as the Tong Tian Tower falls, the White Deer City will definitely be taken over by the Purgatory Legion. This means that the system of the main city has not been activated yet, and we will only have the Tianfeng City as our main city.

Xu Jiaqing nervously gripped her staff: "I'm not sleepy anymore. I'm not sleepy anymore. I'm protecting Skysplit Tower!"

… ….

However, they had expended too much energy and the frequency of their attacks had been greatly reduced. Furthermore, the sounds of gunfire exploding could be heard from time to time from above, it was likely that they had been used too often, as the temperature had already exceeded the metal tolerance range of the cannon.

Horses' hooves rang, and rows after rows of knights in blood-red armor appeared outside the city. They were densely packed, countless of them. They held long spears in their hands, and the slits of their helmets revealed their intimidating eyes.

"That is …" Lin Che narrowed his eyes.

"Purgatory Knight."

I frowned as I held the Flame Dragon Sword in my hand and said, "Be careful, I can't see its level. It should be an Earth Level monster that's level 85 or higher. Its attributes are higher than the Abyssal Knight's."

"Understood."

A large number of Purgatory Knights charged towards the second floor as if they had gone mad after reaching within a hundred yards of Tong Tian Tower. Two of the Purgatory Knights pulled their horses' reins and charged into the outer wall, their spears turning into a streak of blood as they charged towards me.

"Fight back!"

"8701!"

Battle Announcement: [Purgatory Knight] has activated the [Zephyr Thrust] skill, dealing 8701 damage to you!

… ….

The first Purgatory Knight knocked away the last of my Soul Gathering Shield with a lance, the second Knight hit 8,701 Qi and blood with a Zephyr Thrust, and then the two Knights attacked again at the same time, taking me down by 8000 + Qi. In an instant, I only had a quarter of my HP remaining, scaring me to the point where I hurriedly retreated and activated Divine Recovery.

"Swish ~ ~"

Xu Jiaqing's spirit vine wrapped around one of the Purgatory Knights, accurately binding it, while Lin Che's Body Lock locked onto the other one to stabilize the situation. I raised my sword and counterattacked, directly knocking one of the Purgatory Knights to the point where he wanted to die. Su Xiran, on the other hand, slightly frowned and said, "Once the Purgatory Knight arrives, he probably won't be able to defend the second or third floor.

"That's right."

As I attacked, I said, "We'll act according to the circumstances. If we can't defend the second or third floor, we'll go to the upper levels. There's no need to be surrounded and killed here."

"En!"

On closer look, it was shockingly a low level dragon that was decaying. There were Venom Wind Dragons, Flying Swift Dragons, rotten wings, and the aura of death that lingered around their bodies as they flew close to the outer walls. From time to time, they would swoop down, spitting out mouthfuls of death poison at the players guarding the city.

"Death Spirit Dragon."

I frowned, "I can't see its level, but it's an Earth Level Boss. You have to be careful."

Just as I said that, a dark undead dragon descended from the sky. It flapped its wings and opened its big mouth, shooting towards Xu Jiancheng and me.

"Be careful!"

Swiftly turning around, the back of Flame Dragon Sword lightly slaps Lin Che, knocking him against the wall. As the Amethyst Ice Soul Shield blocks the front, I retreat and hug Xu Jiacheng in my embrace, squatting down with her. At the same time, I activate the Amethyst Ice Soul Shield's Ice Soul skill.

"Fight back!"

"Fight back!"

"Fight back!"

"10922!"

… ….

The Undead Dragon flapped its wings, and its dragon breath stuck to the wall for hundreds of meters, extending all the way to the right. Other than the Heaven's Chosen, the other teams were all instantly killed, and in an instant, over a hundred beams of light flew back to the city, frightening everyone so much that their jaws dropped.

The instant the undead dragons flew away, purgatory knights rushed in with battle lances in hand, carrying out a massacre!

Zywane and I fought against four of the Purgatory Knights at the same time with great difficulty, but we still managed to kill them with great effort. The instant the fourth Purgatory Knight was decapitated with a single slash, a dozen more Purgatory Knights came rushing in from the outside.

"I can't hold on any longer."

Su Xi Ran pointed to the distance: "The Ancient Sword, Chi Bai and the people from God's Domain have all left. We should also leave quickly."

"Let's go!"

I pointed at the stone staircase embedded into the inner wall not far away and said, "From there, you can go up to the third floor. Hurry, I'll open the path. Zywane Hall will protect Xi Ran and Cheng Chen!"

"Let's go!"

Every 100 meters or so, there would be a staircase leading up from the inner wall, but right now, it was already packed tight. Many players who couldn't get up the stairs were being surrounded and killed by the tide of purgatory knights, while countless others had already rushed into the second floor, chasing after the fleeing players from behind. It was a complete mess.

"Pitiful..."

While opening up the path with the imprint of my mount, I looked at the tragic sight in the distance and said, "This quest is too brutal. Although the rewards are generous, it's more than likely that the rewards will be split with the losses."

Su Xi Ran nodded: "Yes, only the top 1000 players will benefit from this!"

"Yeah."

… ….

The moment he rushed up to the third floor, he saw a group of familiar faces in front of him.

Liu Qiang, clad in armor and holding a shield, rode on a white warhorse as he sneered, "The unrivalled leader of the Heaven's Selection Group, Ding Mu Chen, was actually beaten to such a sorry state by a group of Purgatory Knights?"
