Chapter 995: Chapter 648 Bastard

The ferocious Azure Flame mask illuminated the street, while the blood-red cloak fluttered in the wind.

The general’s domineering Mo Blade dragged on the ground, sparking as the warhorse advanced.

"Charge!"

Following the general’s command, dazzling Azure Flames flashed from behind him. Even more armored warriors roared forth from amidst the flames.

They formed a steel torrent, charging at the Taoist Soldiers from all directions.

Each armored warrior was around two and a half to two and six meters tall, with steam engines bursting from their backs, resembling terrifying demon gods.

When they formed their battle array and charged, the earth-shattering tremors were almost suffocating for Lin Ka.

The official squad didn’t intervene but instead retreated to the edge, silently watching the mysterious army advance.

The Taoist Soldiers, who had been pressing hard just before, struggled to mount an effective resistance against the steel torrent. Just one charge was enough to crush them into dust.

The general also rode his warhorse deep into the park, nodding slightly to an official player who fist-bumped him as he passed by the squad.

And because of this, the barrage of messages on Lin Ka’s phone went wild.

This charge was far more thrilling than the vague and unclear battle scenes from earlier live broadcasts.

Meanwhile, with the appearance of the armored warriors, a large number of Taoist Soldiers were annihilated.

This naturally caught the attention of the Three Corpses God.

He instinctively looked in a certain direction, frowning slightly. At this moment, he sensed a formidable malice approaching him.

"What exactly is that..." At this moment, the Three Corpses God was on the roof of a factory, looking youthful with eighty percent of his power restored. His snow-white hair and robe made him seem like an exiled celestial.

Yet, he felt an uneasy foreboding. He had awakened without any logical reason.

The Transcendents once affected by the Three Corpses’ transformation had all died. So why did his mark suddenly appear now, causing his revival?

"Battling us while looking around. How arrogant," someone spoke up, interrupting the Three Corpses God’s contemplation.

It was a female player wearing a white robe and holding a large magic staff. From other directions, two more players were approaching slowly.

Some of them were members of player organizations, while others were solo players.

Normally, with the official squad having arrived, they wouldn’t have needed to act, and even had to avoid the officials.

But they noticed that the officials were merely surrounding the area and hadn’t attacked the Three Corpses God. They were stalling, even finding time to train their troops.

The high-powered players of the official squad, team captains, and Holders had no intention of taking action.

So, the players discussed joining forces against the enemy since killing a divine creature could unlock the [Divinity] attribute.

If they were lucky, they might even gain Divinity from the combat spoils.

After all, these divine creatures had enmity towards humanity. If the officials weren’t in a hurry to deal with them, there wouldn’t be any complaints if they eliminated him themselves.

However, as soon as the battle began,

the players discovered how tricky the Three Corpses God was.

The officials had warned about the abilities of the Three Corpses God, so the players resorted to long-range attacks.

Unfortunately, their long-range attacks, both skills and firearms, struggled to penetrate a golden shield that deftly protected him.

Even a player was outright suppressed by a Bronze Bell, unable to escape despite trying to use movement skills.

"Hmph, ignorant fools!" the Three Corpses God snorted coldly. His powers countered all humans, and even these formidable players didn’t dare come too close to him.

The only trouble was, these experts... there were many of them! Even more than the masters of the Extraordinary Association he had encountered twenty-one years ago!

And among them, there were a few particularly tricky ones to deal with.

The Three Corpses God looked coldly around. After the first three [Players] failed to suppress the Three Corpses God, more players were eager and rubbing their hands, ready to make their move.

Yanyun was already a gathering place for players, and no small number of them had infiltrated the area after the incident had unfolded. Among them were quite a few formidable players.

A slightly overweight player, wielding a large axe, appeared in the factory yard. The astonishing heat emanating from his body distorted the air around him.

Another player donned in leather armor and wielding nunchaku appeared on top of a street lamp. His Aura Concealment was so effective that not even the Three Corpses God noticed him immediately.

And a player wearing a conical hat and a richly decorated robe appeared beside the Bronze Bell. He reached out to pat the bell and said with a smile, "Then shall we take our turn?"

The strength of these three was not trivial; they were clearly much stronger than the previous three.

"Very well, let me see the heroes of the world! And you will all ultimately become part of my command," the Three Corpses God chuckled coldly, waving his hand to summon a multitude of golden-armored giants around him: "Li Kun, oh Li Kun, you really have delivered me a great gift!"

If he could convert all of these people, even the Celestials wouldn’t be able to take him down should they intervene.

However, the next second.

The air seemed to freeze, and everyone present felt the chilling presence of a murderous intent drawing near, turning their blood cold.

It was so intense that even the battle-hardened players felt a hint of chill.

At the same time, sounds of fierce fighting came from the distance.

A large force was attacking the Taoist Soldiers that the Three Corpses God had positioned around the area.

And the noise of battle was getting closer—that meant they were about to break through the defensive zone of those Taoist Soldiers.

The players’ eyes flickered; their purpose in sneaking in was to avoid being held back by those golden-armored Taoist Soldiers.

Yet at this moment, someone was forcibly breaking through the ranks of thousands of Taoist Soldiers, boldly penetrating their defensive zone!

"Tight coordination and fierce attacks, that’s a well-coordinated and strong army," the slightly overweight player discerned from the rhythmic sounds of battle.

"But there is no sound of gunfire; it definitely isn’t the official special squad," the leather-armored player sensed briefly: "It’s... all summoned creatures..."

"Only that general can summon an army of this scale..." the player with the conical hat murmured.

As players active in Yanyun, who would not recognize that name?

Soon, the sounds of battle ceased completely. The Taoist Soldiers were annihilated to the last, leaving only a trail of hoofbeats.

’Clomp’

’Clomp’

’Clomp’

A warhorse appeared in a nearby alley.

Looking at the general on the horse, the player with the conical hat solemnly spoke his name.

"Indeed, it’s you, General Li Ba!"

...

And watching the figure approaching on the warhorse, the Three Corpses God felt a strangely familiar sensation.

That shouldn’t be. In this era, all the Transcendents he had seen were already dead. Could it be...

Something suddenly occurred to the Three Corpses God.

No wonder those Celestial-level masters were constantly lurking in the shadows, keeping him in their sights so he couldn’t hide or leave.

It turns out...

"Hahaha, so it was all to wait for your arrival!" the Three Corpses God laughed coldly.

"Scum!"
