Chapter 383: Star Sucking Great Skill [1]

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The battle at Beautiful Robes Faction’s headquarters went on like a raging fire!
Dozens of Soaring Eagle Swords intersected with each other in the sky before they split up. The throwing knives that suddenly split up to charge in all directions were much more powerful in their offense compared to those of the Knife-throwing Ninjas in the royal mausoleum. They were both faster and more lethal.
The continuous stream of Soaring Eagle Swords killed and injured Class One Hall disciples, and people screamed nonstop on the walls before they flipped over and fell to the ground.
The damage from the boomerangs might have been largely reduced, but their effect of tearing through defense was still around. Silver Wolf focused his attention to coordinating with the arrows, and he killed Class One Hall members very quickly.
But this did not stop Class One Hall from advancing.
More people surged in.
The Beautiful Robes Faction members fighting at the frontline instantly felt the pressure on them increasing exponentially.
Class One Hall members then decided to jump over their heads and went toward the archers and knife throwers behind them.
Even though Beautiful Robes Faction had the people on the roofs protecting them, they only managed to kill a few of the attackers.
When Phoenix Dances saw countless Class One Hall members charge over, she gritted her teeth.
‘I have to fight!’
She brought out her second-echelon Silver Dragon Spear and jumped high into the air with a shout. The silver-white spear shadows were as dense as a forest in the air, and with the advantage of her weapon’s length, she pushed down a few people with just one exchange. Then, a few Class One Hall members crashed into her so violently that she coughed up blood and retreated.
While the people from Beautiful Robes Faction cried out in surprise, Phoenix Dances performed a beautiful backthrust and resolutely pierced through a person’s throat. Once she landed on the ground, she took a Dew Pill hastily. Then, not caring about her injuries, she charged into the enemy crowd as if she had become one with her spear.
“Kill them! Attack! Comrades! If we can kill one, it’s one less man for them!”
Phoenix Dances stirred up the Beautiful Robes Faction members again, and the group roared before they jumped up or flew down from the roofs. Their robes fluttered, and their weapons shone when they went up against the Class One Hall members.
However, they were unlike One Circle and the others, who stood at the frontline. When they ran into the enemy, dozens of them died straight away while they only managed to kill a few of Class One Hall disciples.
The battlefield instantly became chaotic. Silver Wolf had to give up on his boomerangs, grab his parting hooks, and jump into the melee as well.
Two Class One Hall members recognized the mysterious elite, Silver Wolf, whom their higher ups had cautioned them to be careful of. When they saw that he seemed to be very tired, they exchanged a glance and pounced on him.
Silver Wolf had the silver hooks on his parting hooks draw a silver arc in the air.
He then smoothly and cleanly tugged and led his enemies’ weapons. He swung his parting hooks at the spots where their equipment did not protect them, and the sharp hooks drew sharp cries from the two players. Silver Wolf tugged at them viciously and gravely injured both of them!
Phoenix Dances might not have been as strong as Silver Wolf, but with her second-echelon Silver Dragon Spear, which had more than 1,000 damage, and her extraordinary equipment, she managed to block a Class One Hall members’ attacks, if only barely.
Her Silver Dragon Spear caused blood to spill everywhere.
With the weapon advantage as well as attack advantage of her Silver Dragon Spear and while being supported by Dew Pills, she attacked with her life on the line. Every single time she attacked, she definitely took one player’s life.
The unyielding attitude of Beautiful Robes Faction’s female master caused the people from Class One Hall who saw it to admire her in secret.
However, Phoenix Dances and Silver Wolf alone were not enough to support the rear.
Class One Hall members charged at them like a swarm and brought chaos to Beautiful Robes Faction’s second line of defense. They swiftly pounced on the roofs and the hall of the headquarters, which made the battle at the headquarters turn chaotic.
The shouts for death in the headquarters rose nonstop and rang in everyone’s eardrums. However, when Blood Robes heard it, it was an incredibly pleasing and touching melody for him.
He slowly walked up the stairs from the crowd who was engaged in a chaotic battle.
Soon, a God of War who swung his purplish-red greataxe like a raving demon while drenched in blood showed up in front of him. The light from the axe covered a circular area of several feet like a stream of water. There were more than twenty Class One Hall members who had died under the bloody axe, and its user looked like a one-man army.
When One Circle saw Blood Robes walking toward him unarmed but with steady footsteps and a cold gaze, a hint of graveness shone in the student’s eyes. He had seen that person before. He was someone among the top management in Class One Hall and in command of the attack, so One Circle would never believe anyone who might say that he was weak.
However, not only did Blood Robes not have any weapons, he did not even have a single piece of equipment on him. He looked relaxed and moved like a grandmaster, which meant that he believed he was leagues ahead of others. One Circle felt displeased just by looking at him.
What made One Circle even angrier was that Blood Robes actually ignored him. He did not even look at him and was prepared to cross the threshold without slowing down.
‘Bastard!’
One Circle flew into a rage.
Even though he was covered in wounds, he was still confident in himself after having killed countless enemies.
He could not forgive anyone who challenged his dignity!
He accumulated strength in his axe, and when he swung it, it brought with it a piercing howl as it charged viciously at Blood Robes.
Blood Robes frowned.
One Circle might need to be measured in tons and seemed quite plump, but his axe swing was filled with ingenious skill. The axe shadows that flew into the air looked like a huge, bloody shark that instantly blocked all the areas in which Blood Robes could advance.
“You’re pretty agile.”
Blood Robes tapped against the ground. He stopped moving forward and stayed just right beyond the axe shadows.
“Die!”
One Circle laughed. The purple-red axe in his hands suddenly let out a clear clang. Its hilt grew by two feet, and the axe shadows increased exponentially. They instantly tore through Blood Robes’ body.
‘I hit him?’
Right when One Circle wanted to smile, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong with what he had felt.
His expression changed, and a cold voice rose from behind him.
“Pretty interesting, fatty.”
When One Circle turned his head around, he found that Blood Robes had appeared behind him at some point in time and placed his palm gently on his shoulder.
“You…” One Circle was filled with great astonishment.
He turned around to force Blood Robes away, but he suddenly noticed that his qi was flowing away from his limbs at an astonishing speed. A chill that filled his bones swept through his entire body, and he could practically not hold his axe anymore. It felt incredibly heavy in his hands, and worse still was that the qi in his Dantian region was also flowing away at a maddening pace. It flowed into Blood Robes’ body through his palm.
At the same time the qi in One Circle’s Dantian region flowed out of his body, it was as if he lost a lot of his HP…
His huge body, which had to be measured in tons, shrank down in the blink of an eye.
One Circle tensed up, and his face turned pale.
Blood Robes still had his hand placed on One Circle’s shoulder in a relaxed manner while his robes fluttered despite there being no wind. His cheeks glowed with a healthy red color, and he was full of high spirits. A delighted look that could not be described with words shone in the depths of his eyes.
Soon, the Beautiful Robes Faction members nearby, Bum, Puffy God, and the others, noticed it.
“What’s that skill?”
“Northern Obscure Divine Skill?”
“No, it shouldn’t be Northern Obscure Divine Skill, no one has completed that quest right now. It should be Old Star Monster Ding Chunqiu’s Star Sucking Great Skill!”
“No matter what it is, we have to save him!”
Rampaging Dragon’s relationship with One Circle was pretty good, and when he saw that One Circle was in trouble, he could not stand it. He swallowed a few Dew Pills, shouted in anger, and led a few faction members to head in the direction of the gate.
“Don’t mess up the formation!”
Tea Words tried to remind them about their orders, but it was already too late. The first line of defense had been greatly damaged, and only around a dozen of them were left in the crowd, persevering through sheer power of will.
Tea Words gritted his teeth and charged in the direction of the gate as well.
At the moment Blood Robes sucked out all the qi in One Circle’s body, he pushed the youth to the gate, which sent One Circle falling to his knees.
Blood Robes’ face was filled with excitement. He was delighted by the qi filling him up. A moment later though, he looked away and took note of the group of high-ranking people from Beautiful Robes Faction rushing at him. He smiled coldly at them.
“Perfect timing.”
