Chapter 1201: Chapter 831: City Gate

The words of the bronze sword left many people confused, while a few captains and Holders looked at Li Changhe with astonished expressions on their faces.

As divine creatures, they vaguely sensed something. Combined with the conversation between the bronze sword and Li Changhe, if they were not mistaken, the recent disturbance in the void... was probably Li Ba’s...

Afterward, the captains each shook their heads with wry smiles.

Li Ba’s talent was indeed astonishing.

Chen Guang, on the other hand, wore a look of ostentation, as if saying with a face that screamed, "this is the excellent disciple I’ve taught," his arrogance making the official players’ hands itch.

However, after this, both Chen Guang and Wuji’s faces were not looking too good.

They knew that the bronze sword wasn’t an alarmist. Li Changhe had mastered that ability without any warning, and the price... was brutal. It might even affect his growth afterward.

Yet Li Changhe seemed unconcerned. His only goal was to kill those beasts. As for the impact of becoming a demigod, he no longer cared. What good would it do to become a demigod later on if he couldn’t avenge his grievances now?

The ones who acted against the box and the girl were trying to force Li Changhe to go to Hundred Generals City. Then Li Changhe would fulfill their last wishes!

He would smear them all over the city walls!

Let everyone see how the so-called people of Heavenly Mandate die a miserable death!

...

Currently, [Number of Participants: 427]

[Number of Arrivals in Hundred Generals City: 38]

The Hundred Generals Trial Sword had been open for five days, and some players had already collected the King’s Medals and entered Hundred Generals City, including official players from various countries.

They obtained some intelligence from the so-called organizer’s proxy, the Noodle Man.

Only the first hundred players to enter Hundred Generals City would be qualified to participate in the second stage of the competition after passing a certain assessment.

All other players would be deemed to have failed the task and would receive some experience penalty.

But the good news was that even if they didn’t become contestants in the second stage, after all participants were determined, the remaining players could also enter Hundred Generals City by giving up a medal and become spectators of this competition.

The Noodle Man even considerately told the players that Hundred Generals City was a land blessed by the gods and that even if one couldn’t participate in the competition, they might still catch the gods’ attention and thus earn rewards.

The complex situation of the Hundred Generals Trial Sword slowed down the players’ medal collection efficiency.

After all, not everyone was targeted and besieged like Li Changhe, turning the situation around to kill for a large number of medals. Nor did they have the luck of Big Iron Pestle, who encountered monsters wherever he went.

Most players were trying their luck, searching for powerful indigenous creatures, or collaborating with others to kill fellow players. This was the fundamental reason for the high casualty rate this time.

What’s more, some players had collected the required medals but had no intention of entering Hundred Generals City, still loitering around on various maps.

While the rewards for achieving ranks were good, the level of danger was a bit too much.

After all, they were all masters of the Battle Power Rankings, each not to be underestimated. Once a bloody battle started, who knew if one would survive to the end.

Nominally, it was possible to forfeit or surrender, but dangers still lurked.

So a considerable number of players chose to collect medals outside, acquiring equipment and skills. The mechanism of the King’s Medal allowed them to obtain resources equivalent to the competition’s ranking rewards.

But this competition also attracted a number of players to participate.

A part of these people did not plan to compete for the rankings but came to watch the hot topic of this event.

The King of the Blood Riders, the strongest contender among demigods, was originally a candidate for the Champion Marquis of the Hundred Generals Trial Sword.

Due to certain events, however, he faced a challenge against the recently famous General Li Ba.

This undoubtedly attracted numerous players.

So, players lingered near the Hundred Generals City, eagerly anticipating this unparalleled great battle.

They were waiting for the number of people to arrive, to enter the Hundred Generals City as spectators.

Meanwhile, another group of players wanted to know which strong contenders were vying for the top ranks before deciding whether to join in. Even if they couldn’t get a high ranking, blending into the rankings wasn’t bad either.

Among them was the figure of Xu Zhi.

Xu Zhi and his [Heaven’s Principle] teammates, after gathering together, also considered entering the Godfall Canyon at one point to support their ally, Li Ba.

After all, the ’Mercury Angel,’ the divinity behind [Heaven’s Principle], had a very good relationship with the first seat Terror Devil of the disaster fog, the ’Crying Hero.’

Their relationship was so close they addressed each other as ’my friend.’

And as believers of the Mercury Angel, they were supposed to help the original being of the ’Crying Hero,’ who was also their ally Li Ba.

Yet their support was blocked by the Black Palace outside the final fortress.

What followed was an intense battle between the Great Wall and the Black Palace. They also opportunistically stripped a fair number of medals from the bodies of dead Black Palace players.

Now, they were distancing themselves from some player gangs near the city gate. They were on guard against each other and likewise waiting for something.

Some players said, "It’s been a day after receiving the message, and Li Ba still hasn’t appeared?"

"This Li Ba... could he be scared? Even the injury of his loved ones can’t force him out?"

"It’s normal, after all, the strength of the Bloodriders is recognized. It’s not surprising that he’s afraid of the strongest under the demigods."

"Shut your filthy mouths!" a top-ranked powerhouse on the Battle Power Rankings said coldly, "To force Li Ba’s hand, they attacked the official Holder, they attacked He Qi and others who saved a huge number of humans from the disaster fog. These Bloodriders are no good thing!"

"It’s laughable, the King of Bloodriders acted for the greater good of humanity; it’s why he had to move against Li Ba. As for attacking Holders... she spared their lives." A player whispered in secret, probably a rogue player. No one saw his figure: "The death of Li Ba could bring about more strong warriors for humanity. He would have died a worthy death."

"Hah, you dare believe the words of the Tianyan Association? If killing you meant one less foolish player and that’s for the sake of humanity, would you go die?" another player snorted coldly: "A coward who doesn’t dare to show his face, are you one of Bloodriders’ bootlickers? After entering the city, don’t let me see you. Otherwise, you’ll be the first I kill!"

With that, the player approached the city gate.

On both sides of the city gate stood a squadron of golden armored cavalrymen who had suddenly gathered to the Hundred Generals City after the appearance of the golden moon.

They, having regained their reason, were still guarding in and around the Hundred Generals City.

The city gate was enveloped by a dark golden fog. When players approached the fog, presenting three medals, they disappeared into the mist.

Similar debates took place at all four gates of the Hundred Generals City. The arrival of the Book of Heaven also triggered debate among players.

To this, Xu Zhi made no statement, quietly waiting for something.

Suddenly, a breeze blew by. The sound of debate was overwhelmed by heavy footsteps.

The golden armored knights on both sides of the city gate leaped off their warhorses and knelt on one knee, as if welcoming someone of esteem.

This shocked the players; these were knights of the human demigods.

But now collectively bowing, could it be that the human demigod had resurrected?

Xu Zhi’s hands trembled, for he knew who had arrived.

Looking toward the distant figure emerging from the forest, the battlefield black sheep, and the silhouette sitting atop the black sheep.

Xu Zhi bowed his head slightly and chanted softly in his heart.

"At last, I meet you, my lord!"

(Sorry, the cliffhanger is quite severe)
