‘We lost!'

At the moment the headquarters was surrounded by countless cries for murder, practically all Wind Assault Tower members knew what sort of end they would face.

Even though they could not accept this fate and were filled with anger, at that moment, no one logged off to leave.

“Kill them!”

“Even if I die, I'm going to drag some of those bastards to death with me! I won't let them take Beijing so easily!”

“We'll make those Class One Hall bastards eat their own dreams!”

Hysterical shouts and cries for murder rose and fell. During the final moment, the tens of thousands of people in Wind Assault Tower had a force erupt from it, and it was one so strong that it caused others to look at them in fear. They managed to fully bring out the power of the former strongest sect in the Chinese server.

While they shouted, a group of Wind Assault Tower elites suddenly charged out from the dark, and while they adopted different postures, all of them recklessly pounced on a person to whom they had been paying attention to for a long time—Luo Jing!

There were four elites, and they had been paying attention to Luo Jing at the back for a long time. This was especially so when he continued to use his hidden force to ingeniously force back multiple people who got close to him or kill them. This caused the anger in the four people's hearts to continue growing, and after concocting a plan, they seized a chance and, with an indomitable spirit, launched the ambush they planned in private.

One person wielded a saber to attack fiercely, and another used his bare fists to charge forward with his body lowered close to the ground.

Right when these two people appeared, they attracted Luo Jing's attention. He quickly reacted to it and tapped against the ground. Then, a spot 168 feet ahead of him suddenly exploded.

The person fighting with his bare hands had his expression change, and he quickly pushed his hands against the ground.

The hidden force attacked first to suppress them, and it managed to negate some of the power in the attack of the person fighting with his bare hands. The remaining power landed on the saber wielder, and it caused quite a lot of damage on him.

“A mere child's trick.”

It was only then that Luo Jing noticed that these two people worked together to come here, and they seemed to have some degree of understanding toward his hidden force. After being stunned for a moment, he became excited.

But before he could do anything else, barely audible sounds signalling hidden weapons tearing through the air could be heard from his sides.

‘Tang Sect members!'

Luo Jing's expression changed, and he cursed in his heart, because he knew that the situation was bad.

But it was too late.

The saber wielder and the hidden weapons that came charging from the sides instantly surrounded him from three sides. Luo Jing's expression changed, and when he attempted to retreat, a hidden force suddenly shot out from the ground beneath his feet, and he staggered.

Hidden weapons, saber glares, and an elite who kept on releasing hidden forces with his bare fists. Three attacks landed continuously and accurately on Luo Jing. Luo Jing had been smug, but when he was suddenly involved in an ambush planned by several people against him, he finally lost his initial calm, and he panicked.

“Sve me!” Luo Jing cried out in panic.

Even though he was a hidden force elite and was outstanding, he still found himself having too much to deal with when he faced a hidden force elite continuously targeting him with hidden forces, was closed in by a saber wielder, and was locked down by long-ranged hidden weapons elites. If anyone else were in his place, they would also have too much to deal with and be thrown into confusion.

There were already a few Class One Hall members who noticed Luo Jing's situation. A few of them drew close without hesitation.

But at that moment, a man with a wide back rushed out from behind the saber wielder. He had a greatax in his hands, and his gaze was fierce. Without another word, he arrived behind Luo Jing from the side. He ignored the attacks that came from a few directions, shouted in anger, and rammed his greatax violently against Luo Jing's back.

Bang!

The powerful force practically shot through Luo Jing's body. He screamed in pain, and his body was thrown off the ground.

The saber wielder ingeniously moved to the side. Luo Jing's body instanlty flew into Wind Assault Tower's crowd like a cannonball.

Excited and crazed laughter rose. Luo Jing's terrified and pained scream swiftly rose. Then, he died.

As for the ax wielder who ended up being surrounded by Class One Hall, dozens of intersecting wounds instantly appeared on his chest and back, but he continued laughing madly while he swung his ax. While he gritted his teeth, he cackled in anger. “So what if you're a top-class elite?! You're the ones losing your lives in my hands!”

Then, the last bit of his life bled away from his body.

Wind Assault Tower's headquarters was now like a boiling pot of water. Everyone inside was engaged in fierce combat! As a group of Wind Assault Tower elites charged inside in a flashy manner from the entrance of the street outside the headquarters, a second battlefield swiftly opened up, and it attracted everyone's attention.

“Phantasmal Shadow! It's her!”

“Phantasmal Shadow is over here!”

“Hurry!”

“Surround her!”

“Damn it… as expected of the tower master of Wind Assault Tower… she's such a pain… how many of us have died?”

“Notify the hall master immediately! Have her immediately mobilize some elites over! Brothers and sisters, stop her! You must block her! Don't let her return to the headquarters!”

Phantasmal Shadow did not bring a lot of people over, but their equipment was all pretty decent. Besides, Phantasmal Shadow was using Red Horsetail Whisk Lady's whip technique, and her whip shadow extended to twenty feet, which was something really rare. With her fluctuating qi producing an effect that was similar to Wind Spirit Spin, when she swung her whip, she could affect a circular area of thirty-two feet.

Crack!

Under multiple people's gazes, Phantasmal Shadow charged ahead of the others. She quickly pushed forward while she moved like a spinning top. She never stopped swinging her whip, and loud cracks rose in the air.

Whip techniques were considered a unique martial art. If a person could use it well, their strength would be above a normal top-class elite. This was also the reason why Phantasmal Shadow could stand among the best players in the game.

All the people within a circular area of thirty-two feet felt a black shadow cracking in front of them. Then, they heard a fearsome sonic boom by their ears, and they were thrown off their feet by a strange but powerful force.

All-direction Agility!

It was a support-type martial art that was even more powerful than Wind Spirit Spin. It could easily spread a person's martial art in all directions and produce the perfect AOE effect, but to use this support-type martial art, the requirements on the martial arts was incredibly high. A normal saber or sword technique could produce pretty decent effects with just Wind Spirit Spin, and because of it, All-direction Agility would produce insignificant effects. However, the advantage in the speed and area for whip techniques was incredibly clear, and when Phantasmal Shadow used All-direction Agility, she could dexterously and effectively increase her power, making her more intimidating, and she could also steadily control the direction of her whip.

It can be said that All-direction Agility was basically made for Phantasmal Shadow!

She moved around briskly, and her attacks swept through the entire area madly.

In less than half a minute, at least hundreds of people were sent flying madly by Phantasmal Shadow. She gave off the air that she was about to sweep down an entire army.

But soon, Phantasmal Shadow was blocked by someone.

Whoosh!

Her whip shadow crashed into a longspear in the air. The spear turned in the air in a nimble manner. Not only did it manage to negate the hidden force and power Phantasmal Shadow had attached on the whip, it even used the momentum to drag Phantasmal Shadow's whip to the point that she almost lost her grip over her whip.

Phantasmal Shadow's expression changed. Her wrist trembled. She flung away the longspear that was bound by the whip, and the whip returned dexterously like a sentient snake to wrap itself around her arm. The tip of the whip was incredibly stickly, and many people's gazes were subconsciously attracted to it. They saw bright red blood drop on the ground, and no one knew how many people's blood was on it.

Phantasmal Shadow stopped moving, and she stared at the man who stood across her.

“Cangzhou's King of Spears.”

The Wind Assault Tower members following behind Phantasmal Shadow were stunned.

Cangzhou's King of Spears was quite famous in the Chinese server, especially when it came to his skill in spears. His fame in that area was great, and there were even people who said that this person's spear technique counterred whip techniques. Later on, he was recruited by Class One Hall, and the people said that Dream Clouds did it to counter Phantasmal Shadow.

Cangzhou's King of Spears was in his thirties. He had a plain face, but his gaze and expression spoke of someone with a level head. His spear was directed diagonally downward. When he stood in front of Phantasmal Shadow to block his path, he gave off the feeling that he was as unshakeable as a mountain. This was clearly a sign that he had already mastered the quintessence of spear techniques, and he had now become one with the spear.

“Empress Shadow, you should not have appeared.”

“Enough with the nonsense. Since you decided to follow Dream Clouds to work together with Wild Wolves and betray the Chinese server, stop pretending that you were forced into this situation.”

Phantasmal Shadow no longer had her usual calm. Her voice and gaze were both incredibly cold.

Cangzhou's King of Spears was stunned silent for a moment. His expression froze. Then, he chuckled softly and mocked her. “It's just a game. There shouldn't be any talk about betrayal. When you seized the title of strongest, didn't you also use some underhanded tactics to do so?”

“There's no wrong in using various strategies to fight for the title of the strongest, but I haven't reached the point where I will use everything in my disposal. This is something I admit that I can't compare with Dream Clouds.”

As she spoke, she turned around and took a few steps to the left. Her whip shadow instantly left behind afterimages that were like a sentient snake in the air.

Crack!

More than ten Class One Hall members were located to the left, and before they reacted to what happened and saw how Phantasmal Shadow attacked, they were sent violently flying by a powerful force. The hidden weapons they had in their hands fell to the ground with loud clanging sounds. The sounds were loud and clear.

“The subordinates will act the same way as their leader. Class One Hall won't be able to last long. You won't be able to laugh for a long time in our faces.”

Phantasmal Shadow snorted coldly and flung her whip a few times again. The encirclement that had just formed around her was pushed back, and the empty space around her became much larger.

The Class One Hall members retreated in panic.

Cangzhou's King of Spears scowled and cast her a glance.

Even though he found these people who only knew how to use hidden weapons to be a disgrace, he was in Class One Hall, and he had to consider things in Class One Hall's perspective.

He tensed his arm, and his longspear picked up shattered stones with a thud, making them fly in the sky like an arrow shower. With a vicious wind, they charged toward Phantasmal Shadow.

Phantasmal Shadow never moved. She flicked her wrist, and a black whip shadow reduced those stones in the air into dust at lightning speed.

“Dream Clouds shouldn't have sent you alone to fight against me, yes? Who else is there? Come out. You're all people who are quite famous, don't degrade yourselves.”

Once she finished speaking, a person walked out from the crowd behind Cangzhou's King of Spears.

“Lion's Roar Shi Huasheng.”

“It's been a long while, Tower Master Shadow.” Shi Huasheng walked out from the crowd, and he used his pinky to rub the center of his eyebrows in a flighty manner. His expression made it seem as if Phantasmal Shadow was already a trapped rat.

Almost at the same time, a person walked out from the left side of the crowd, and another walked out from the right.

“I'm Xie Lingyun. Please grant me your instructions, Empress Shadow.”

“I'm a monk. You can call me Indestructible Arhat.” The last person was actually Monk With Thick Eyebrows.

These four people had quite the status in Class One Hall.

One of them had outstanding skill with the sword.

One of them had Buddhist's Lion's Roar as part of his arsenal of skills.

One of them had the strongest body fortification from the Buddhists, and he was Monk With Thick Eyebrows, who was known as Indestructible Arhat.

There was also Cangzhou's King of Spears, who was deliberately recruited to counter Phantasmal Shadow!

These four people were sent to attack Phantasmal Shadow, and the lineup was just slightly inferior to the treatment Happy received.

“Not bad. This is pretty decent. At least Dream Clouds isn't so stupid to think that a few normal elites would be able to kill me.”

When Phantasmal Shadow said these words, the fighting spirit in her eyes was already burning fiercely, because she knew that this time might be the last fight she will command in Beijing.
