Chapter 290: Top ten on the leaderboards

Chapter 290: Top ten on the leaderboards

"Peng!"

Along with me using Assault, I smashed out of the encirclement and appeared 20 yards from the tower. At that moment, the bone horse cried out and its durability was emptied out. I was now running and I felt numbing pain all around me. They climbed all over my body and I was now left with less than 20% health!

Again, Saint Light Technique!

"Shua!"

"+17886!"

So good!

Right at that moment, Lin Xi appeared at the stone steps with Hellfire in her hands. She looked at me, "Run, quickly!"

"Oh!"

I charged over with at least 20 Moving Army Bugs on me. I looked like a porcupine and people look all felt a chill down their spine. My health dropped so quickly and although one Saint Light Technique healed a lot, but I would definitely die within four seconds.

"Lin Xi save me!"

I was just five steps away!

"Don't worry!"

Lin Xi pointed her sword forwards and her skirt below her armor fluttered in the wind. She used Bladestorm and smiled, "I shall use Bladestorm to bathe you!"

"Hong--"

A storm formed by numerous blades swept over. Lin Xi used party attack mode and didn't damage me. Instead, the Moving Army Bugs on me were scattered. They all cried out and many of them had their bodies smashed!

"Beautiful!"

I laughed and felt relieved. I quickly used War Trample before jumping up the stairs. Lin Xi opened her left hand to grab mine and pulled me up. She also pulled and a huge stone board blocked the entrance.

This stone was really tough and Moving Army Bugs wouldn't be able to bite it down within a short time. The NPCs above relied on this to barely survive until now. "..."

Right when Lin Xi pulled me into the tunnel, Tony looked at us with jealousy. In his heart, this was me having close contact with Lin Xi right?

"Not bad not bad!"

I didn't care about what Tony was thinking as I healed myself, "Damn, I nearly ended up like those white bones outside the town."

Lin Xi smiled and used her fingers to point, "Just that little bit and you would have died."

"En!"

Right at that moment, at the other end of the tunnel, a bunch of soldiers that were thin as bones appeared. The leader cupped his fists, "Young adventurer, how many men did you bring to save us?"

"No, just the five of us." Lin Xi said.

"Ah?"

The leader was shocked, "Then... Aren't you a lamb into the tiger's mouth, moreover, we don't have much food, we don't have the will to fight anymore..."

"Don't worry."

"No need."

Lin Xi rejected, "It is too much of a hassle, we ordered delivery already."

"Oh..."

Tony's gaze was filled with dejection.

In the With You chat, Shen Mingxuan was speechless, "I actually, haven't ordered..."

"Order now then." Lin Xi smiled.

"En, Teochew? Cantonese? Or what?"

"Anything!"

"What about Lu Li?"

"Anything!"

"Then, I shall order it randomly..."

At around 7 pm, we went offline to eat. After half an hour of rest, we then went back online. Lin Xi and I traded a bunch of mana potions to Shen Mingxuan and Gu Ruyi. At around 8 pm, a golden light descended and Lin Xi was up to level 79.

I opened the Level Ranking Board and noticed that Lin Xi was first--

1. Lin Xi Level 79 Silver Dawn

2. Feng Canghai Level 78 Palace Warrior

3. Mars River Level 76 Palace Mage

4. Old Mountain Level 76 Palace Archer

5. Follow Heart Level 75 Palace Mage

6. Dragon Grievances Level 75 Palace Mage

7. Mundane Slaughter Level 75 Palace Assassin

8. Breaking Dawn Ash Level 75 Palace Warrior

9. Wine and Poems Level 74 Palace Warrior

10. A Little Brother Level 74 Palace Paladin

...

This was beautiful. My human Paladin account was already at 10th. In truth, this was Shen Mingxuan's position but she died too many times. Apart from that, from the rankings, one could tell the difference between top rate players and others. Lin Xi and Feng Canghai were far ahead and then Mars River and Old Mountain were another group.

Breaking Dawn was quite sad. They used to take up 2-3 spots but now only Breaking Dawn Ash was in the rankings. The reason was was because my Assassin account killed them or they were killed by Lin Xi. This would only happen to guilds that wanted to cause trouble.

Right, Mundane Slaughter, this person... Wasn't he from another county? Why did he come to Linchen County?

Forget it, time to level!

I looked at the leaderboards again and felt bliss. I was now the top Paladin in Linchen County right? After all, my level was above Lin Songyan and Breaking Dawn Dust but in terms of skills I needed to improve and I would definitely be top!
