Chapter 1120: Chapter 771: The Seed of Great Resentment

`In that instant, the knights within the checkpoint sounded their horns. Beasts in the forest roared furiously. Countless indigenous creatures were startled.

At first, Li Changhe thought it was some player trying to forcefully break through the checkpoint.

After all, there were over seven hundred players in this task.

It was likely that some were blocked by this checkpoint nearby.

Such checkpoints could only be stealthily entered by assassin-type players. It was difficult for others to slip through.

Therefore, in that instant, Li Changhe’s thought was... to watch the drama unfold. He even thought that he might take the opportunity to slip past the checkpoint. Who was the reckless one causing such a commotion? He might even have to lend a hand and rescue them later.

After all, big grudges need caring for.

Just as he was thinking this, he noticed the knights and wild beasts charging in his direction.

Li Changhe had a bad feeling.

The next second, he saw a message from Big Iron Pestle in [Friends].

"Why the hell didn’t you say so earlier!" Li Changhe completely let down his guard.

Affecting a curse or removing a curse would alarm the nearby indigenous creatures. Such important information, why didn’t you say it earlier?

Old Lead had just taken a bite of the earth, consuming some of the curse on it, and his repair progress had barely risen to 92%. He was still wondering where to take another bite. And now you tell me this?

I just helped you with aerial directions, are you trying to trap me?

After all this time, am I the reckless one who alarmed these guys?

Am I the big grudge?

Dammit!

Watching the approaching golden knights and twisted monsters, it was clear that they had spotted him. And the enemies would only increase. He couldn’t delay any longer!

Li Changhe no longer hid, and bolts of electricity burst from his body.

Activate Thunderbolt Extreme Speed!

With a forceful push of his legs, he leaped to a tree ten meters away.

However, at the moment he moved, a giant land-walking bird stabbed its bill heavily into the ground where he had just been. The sharp and heavy bill drove straight into the Earth, clearly aiming for a sneak attack on Li Changhe.

But before the land-walking bird could pull out its bill,

Arrows and spears pinned it down to the ground.

Those were the knights’ long-range attacks, if not for Li Changhe’s prompt move, he would have been the one attacked.

Looking at the large number of knights closing in, Li Changhe cursed inwardly, his feet not stopping, not retreating but advancing, quickly rushing towards the checkpoint ahead.

With the situation as it was, he’d just break through forcefully! He’d smash through these guys’ formation and charge through the checkpoint!

After activating Thunderbolt Extreme Speed, Li Changhe was like a streak of moving lightning.

The knights’ arrows and spears could hardly lock onto him. Every volley only hit the footprints Li Changhe left behind.

Seeing this, the golden knight stopped at the edge of the forest.

The steed beneath him neighed, spitting out a fireball that smashed into the forest.

At the same time, the walking knights switched to fire arrows.

In an instant, the crimson flames ignited the forest. The twisted monsters that had been following Li Changhe slowed their pace.

The golden knight, in his attempt to encircle and kill Li Changhe, did not hesitate to set the mountain ablaze.

He apparently wanted to use the fire to reduce the size of the encirclement.

Nevertheless, the golden knight saw a figure swiftly weaving through the flames, completely unafraid of the scorching fire around him.

And... it seemed that his clothing had changed as well.

`That was none other than Li Changhe, who, since consuming the Danmu Fruit bestowed by the Moon God, had already acquired considerable fire resistance.

Such a wildfire could no longer threaten him, but he did switch his Dark Feather Cloak for a magical garment.

After all, that gear was not fireproof. It would be bad if it got scorched.

Watching the military formation clustered at the edge of the forest and slowly advancing, Li Changhe snorted coldly, "Then let’s see if you can withstand this!"

Similar words, when uttered by different people, could have different effects.

For instance, "Failed the college entrance exam, retake next year!"

This phrase, when spoken by a liberal arts student and an art student, would lead to different outcomes.

Although he wanted to conserve his strength and avoid battle as much as possible, if it was inevitable, then it was time for an Overlord Cross!

Li Changhe here caused a spatial fluctuation with a flash of his hand, putting the mechanical bow back into his backpack, and drew out the Sin Dragon Mo Blade.

At the same time, he stomped heavily with one foot, performing an Abyssal Stomp!

The massive tremor emanated from beneath his feet, instantly cracking the ground, lifting rocks, and toppling trees. The surrounding flames were snuffed out by the vibration. Amidst the pervasive black smoke, the knights could hear the approaching footsteps.

Although there was only a single set of footfalls, they imparted the momentum of a thousand troops.

It was as if they were returned to the battlefields where they had followed the Demigod in wars against other tribes.

This made the curse-twisted knights roar in furious anger.

The Golden Knight, leading the charge, had his long halberd flashing with crimson arcs, while the golden warhorse beneath him let out a deafening neigh. Its massive hooves shattered rocks like an out-of-control truck.

At the same time, the Golden Knight brought down his golden long halberd, as if a red thunderbolt cleaved from the sky.

But facing such a scene, Li Changhe didn’t retreat but advanced, his body erupting with electric arcs, leaping up, and swinging the Mo Blade horizontally.

’Bang’

The clash between the Mo Blade and the halberd generated a huge air blast, which cleared the surrounding black smoke.

At the same time, the Golden Knight felt his arm go numb, the blade strike far more horrifying than he had imagined. Even his golden halberd had part of its blade cut off. The force of the attack was strong enough to stop the charge of the warhorse dead in its tracks, even forcing it to involuntarily step back a few paces. What formidable strength was this?

For Li Changhe, this was not surprising, as after all, the Sin Dragon Mo Blade could hold a considerable amount of Black Mud Divinity. This greatly enhanced the weapon’s attack power. Even without using the general’s robe, the Mo Blade alone was no less potent than those major skills used by the main player characters.

Meanwhile, Li Changhe, leaping up, was struck by a vast force and sent flying, quickly crashing towards the back.

It was inevitable; in mid-air, without anything to brace against, exchanging blows with an enemy naturally brings the risk of being sent flying.

For a player, that would be enough to be fatal!

This was also why players avoid lingering mid-air. From a player’s perspective, to leap when there’s no ability to brace in the air is tantamount to seeking death.

The Golden Knight thought the same.

He believed that although he hadn’t gained the advantage just now, his opponent’s lack of combat experience had led him into danger when he jumped. Thus, spurring his warhorse, the Golden Knight intended to chase down his victory and strike a fatal blow the moment his foe landed.

However, he saw Li Changhe mid-air, flipping his body and altering his crashing posture just as he was about to hit a charred tree.

From an original posture of slamming back-first, he shifted to land on his feet.

The next instant, Li Changhe kicked out with his legs. Like a flashing bolt of lightning heading straight at him, his Mo Blade came slashing down again.

The charging Golden Knight had no time to raise his halberd to release the red lightning again and could only pull out his golden shield to block.

Just as he raised his shield, a massive force struck, hitting the shield with a heavy blow that cut him down from his warhorse.

A leap from the ground, a slash, a tactical withdraw using the momentum, a tree-assisted charge, another slash! A fluid sequence of attacks, executed in one go.

Lack of combat experience for Li Changhe?

What a laughable notion!

"Well... although he’s still a big source of resentment," muttered Yun Ting in a low voice.

"Damn!"
