However, this was not the end of Cha Na’s nightmare.
Numerous arrows began raining down on Cha Na’s rear troops and immediately, there was a burst of dazzling lights that blew up a large batch of the Yin soldiers.
“Impossible! This is impossible! The strength of the Sun Chasing Archer… but he died long ago, how could this be?!”
The sudden appearance of these once-familiar skills launched Cha Na into a panic.
Memories of him and a few of his former comrades, who had been loyal subjects to the King of Beiqi, arose in his mind. Even with their great strength and capabilities, these comrades had been lost in battle.
“Argh! Comrades, advance forward, we shall not stop until we are dead!” Wu Guoyi roared.
“Yes!” the players roared in unison as they took a heavy step forward uniformly, shaking the earth as they did.
One look at the increasing morale of the army of players and Cha Na’s army had lost its original indomitable force, and was forced to retreat.
However, the players were determined to kill every last soldier of Cha Na’s army. Forming a thousand meter long front line facing the enemy, the army of players lead by ten Night Killers charged ahead to attack the enemy.
Furthermore, the Magic Division began summoning the Skeleton Army. In no time, a wave of Yin soldiers had appeared, making the players’ battle array look even more epic.
“Gou Zi, heal our comrades!”
Gu Yu’s furious order rang loudly through the MythGuild’s live chat.
Subsequently, a small white dog jumped high into the air and unleashed an Inherited Skill, making green rain dew fall from the sky.
Under the droplets of rain dew, the injured players on the front line got on their feet once more. Lifting their weapons, they continued their onslaught of slaughter.
Tonight was bound to be a sleepless night for the Battle Online players.
After four hours of continuous fighting, the players had pushed back Cha Na’s army to the border between the Mansion of the Dead and Liuli, yet there were still no signs of the battle ending.
Players who had died in the battle continued watching the battle through the live broadcast on the website and once their respawning cooldown time ended, they were quickly integrated into the battle again.
The strength and capabilities displayed by the players’ camp in the past four hours of constant fighting had cut into Cha Na’s Yin soldiers’ fearlessness. They had never seen such endless and fanatical madness on the battlefield.
It was as though these beings were not afraid of death. Even on the verge of death, these players would try to plant a few stabs or sink their teeth into them with their last breath.
At this point in the battle, more than half of Cha Na’s army had been killed or seriously wounded and even Cha Na himself held up a face as pale as a ghost. By suffering such a huge loss, he knew that he would no longer have a say in the Land of Beiqi.
Although Cha Na wanted to retreat, it was all too late now as the players did not have the slightest intent of letting any of them go. He was certain that even if his army were able to return to Liuli District, this bunch of wild players would just continue to pursue them.
He would never have imagined that the power he had accumulated for so many years would be buried at the hands of these players.
In desperation, Cha Na roared as he launched himself into the horde of players.
Yet, although Cha Na was powerful, the players were undaunted.
“Cha Na! Die!”
Everyone circled in on Cha Na, trying frenziedly to cause some damage to him no matter how insignificant it seemed. In less than half an hour, a terror-stricken Cha Na could no longer withstand the brunt of such frenzied attacks and had retreated back to his own army.
Presently, his body was wounded from countless cuts and stabs caused by the mob of angry players. As the old saying goes, even the bites of a colony of ants could kill an elephant. Despite his overwhelming strength, the extensive damage received was still unbearable to him.
Seeing Cha Na’s forced retreat, the excited players gave an earth-shattering yell.
Under these circumstances, Cha Na finally gave in and roared loudly.
“Retreat!”
Aware that Cha Na was going to order a retreat, the crowd of players surged forward.
“Cha Na, you dog, fuck you! You will die today!”
“Charge on! Avenge our dead brothers! Tonight, there is no turning back!”
“Brothers, have courage! Kill all of Cha Na’s scum!”
“Scum, don’t even think about leaving! Kill!”
The players’ blood pumped with adrenaline as they saw the fear apparent on the Yin soldiers. All of them charged toward their enemies, swinging their weapons in the air, not leaving any opportunity for Cha Na’s army to escape.
Within all of the guilds’ live chats, the commanders bellowed orders excitedly for troops to continue their attacks at the retreating army.
Soon, the battleground began shifting from the Mansion of the Dead to Liuli District as the players pursued the retreating army. At last, Cha Na’s army was finally cornered at the Underworld Sea with no place to run.
After eight hours of hard battle, the first light of dawn broke through the horizon. The battle had lasted the entire night and the players’ side had lost more than 400,000 lives, but with the ability to respawn, more than 200,000 lives remained. As for Cha Na’s forces, about 80,000 were killed or seriously injured while the remaining soldiers had already lost their spirit to fight knowing that they were trapped on the sandy beaches of Liuli District.
“Brothers! Victory is in sight. Let’s cut off Cha Na’s head to avenge our lost friends!” Wu Guoyi gave out the last command as he raised his sword at Cha Na.
“YesS!” the players roared in unison, moving steadily towards the remaining Yin soldiers.
Cha Na’s heart filled with regret as he stared at the hordes of players advancing in his direction.
If he had been given a second chance, he would not have provoked this bunch of lunatics. He had now lost all desire to continue this battle.
He had once thought that by killing part of this group of beings, he could frighten them into submission. How foolish.
“Kill!”
The battle resumed as the players launched their final attack.
One by one, the Yin soldiers faltered under the deafening shouts for death from the players’ end. At this point, any resistance was futile and Cha Na lost all hope as the dead bodies of his Yin soldiers began piling up.
He took a glance at the ocean, then back at the impenetrable force of the players in front of him with hatred. A second later, he lept towards the sea.
“Don’t even try to escape!”
Seeing that Cha Na was deserting his troops in escape, Gu Yu gave a yell as the runes on his body glimmered. He sprung into the air forcefully, concentrating all of his strength into his fist to land a blow on Cha Na.
“Whoever stops me shall die!”
Cha Na roared, and he too raised his fist to strike Gu Yu.
As their two fists collided, Gu Yu disappeared immediately in a trail of black smoke. However, Cha Na’s body also froze in the air from the impact and started falling downward swiftly.
As it happened, a dozen figures surrounded him.
In an instant, ten Night Killers swung their bloodied blades at Cha Na. From the side, Ao Jian carried out a sword spirit infusion and directed nine Spiritual Swords that sped toward Cha Na.
“Fuck off!” Cha Na’s fists lashed out masterfully, smashing into several Night Killers. However, Cha Na still sustained several attacks in addition to the nine Spiritual Swords having made a bloody cut across his body.
At this moment, the other players also swarmed in on him, ensuring that Cha Na was not able to escape.
Cha Na who had already used up most of his energy in the night-long battle could only weakly try to fend off the swarming players.
He wanted to attempt another escape, but as soon as he lept up, nine bolts of Annihilation suddenly appeared to strike him back into the mob of players.
Instantly, all the players exhausted different methods to pin him down in their efforts to prevent him from running away.
Feeling the energy and strength that was draining away by the minute, Cha Na cried out in misery and anger. He then proceeded to heave himself up as he used his remaining strength to leap toward the ocean.
This was his only chance. If this escape was unsuccessful, then only death awaited him!
The players screamed in rage as they saw Cha Na leaping up. However, they were helpless as they had worn out all their means of attack.
At this moment, not far away, Ye Chen took a deep breath and steadily raised his Sun Scorching Bow.
As Sun Chasing energy was dispersed, an energy-charged arrow slowly formed on the bowstring. Taking aim at Cha Na’s figure, Ye Chen gave a loud cry and released his hold on the bowstring.
The supercharged arrow, carrying the hopes and dreams of the players as well as Ye Chen, cut swiftly through the air and punctured Cha Na’s body from behind.
Ye Chen’s eyes gleamed as he watched the body of Cha Na fall into the sea, muttering to himself.
“Destiny is incredible!”
