The war of retaliation has started. Since Drifting Snow originated from the Fluttering Snow Alliance of the Southern Continent, the target of this assault was naturally set on the Southern Continent.
With Jiaojiao’s order, Li Yi temporarily gave up on his plans to go to the Northern Continent. He instructed Onyxia to return on her own while he accepted the order and was teleported to the Abyssal Crevice.
This assembly has gathered more than three hundred thousand people. All of the elites of the Iron Alliance came swarming out like hornets out of their nests, and many other idle or faction-less players had come to join the war. The sheer number of people was breathtaking, and their shouts were so loud that it shook the sky.
Vroom vroom, whoo whoo whoo!
A gigantic flying-bird warplane flew above the heads of the people and charged to the frontlines.
The pilot was Li Yi.
The passengers of the plane consisted of Jiaojiao, Little Elf from the Magical Realm, Fire Ice, and Shangguan Bailu.
Li Yi has long finished constructing a superjet that could contain five people. He never had the chance to actually use it before this.
The superjet that could carry five people could only make full use of its abilities if it has a full load of five people. Even though it could be piloted by one person, this thing was too bulky and did not allow the pilot to attack. Thus, if it was only one person, this superjet was much less agile than the Black-feathered Golden Eagle.
The players of the Invincible Continent got up onto their mounts and rushed towards the enemy’s closest major city.
Ever since the Fluttering Snow Alliance has announced their entrance into the game, they were quick to develop their influence in the other two continents while completely avoiding the Invincible Continent. This was especially prominent in the Southern Continent. With Arthur’s full support, the Fluttering Snow Alliance had converted ten major cities as their development base in just half a month.
The flying-bird warplane whirred and flew forward. On its way, it met many Southern Continent players, but before the flying-bird warplane’s powerful Energy Beam, all of them has ceased to exist.
Ssst ssst!
The flying-bird warplane shot out Energy Beams non-stop. Like an industrial cutter, all humans or things that touched the Energy Beam would suffer from continuous damage.
Ssst ssst!
Jiaojiao controlled the Energy Beam to sweep the lands ahead, her attack method was similar to how a giant bird would slash at the lands below with a lightsaber. Three players were directly hit by the Beam and died quickly after a few damage values appeared above their heads.
Jiaojiao cackled, “This is great! This thing is so amazing!”
“The flying-bird warplane has a total of 100 energy points and could shoot an uninterrupted Energy Beam for 20 seconds. On top of that, the energy points would recover by one point every two seconds. Thus, it’s not worth shooting all of it in one go. Control is key; do you know about the ‘nine shallow one deep’ rule?”
“Nine shallow one deep?” 1
Li Yi explained the knowledge patiently. “Don’t click on it for too long. Make a quick click and release. Rinse and repeat.”
Ssst!
Ssst!
Jiaojiao quickly picked up on the skill. She would be fine as long as she did not press it for too long.
“That’s easy!”
“Queen, you’re marvelous!”
The only person among the five that cheered for Jiaojiao was Shangguan Bailu. When Li Yi unveiled the plane and called for manpower, she was the one that volunteered to get onboard the plane.
The flying-bird warplane swooped along its way. It flew higher whenever it encountered a group that outnumbered it, and it stooped down to lay waste whenever it encountered a small group of people. When they had reached the first major city controlled by the Fluttering Snow Alliance, they had already killed almost a hundred players.
“Kill, kill, kill! Kill them all! Burn their houses and snatch their women!” Jiaojiao wailed and yelled while holding tightly onto the firing mechanism of the Energy Beam with both of her hands.
In contrast with Jiaojiao’s excitement, Li Yi frowned his eyebrows instead. His frowns were caused by the fact that they did not meet any players that belonged to Fluttered Snow Alliance.
“This is strange. Why haven’t we seen anyone from the Fluttering Snow Alliance?” asked Shangguan Bailu, the female Dwarf Summoner.
“I was confused too.”
Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes and said, “Could it be that the Fluttering Snow Alliance was so afraid that they would be humiliated by us that they did not even dare to come out?”
Li Yi shook his head. “If they really feared us, they would not have sent Drifting Snow to massacre our cities as a way to assert their dominance.”
“Ah, let’s not worry about this. Kill kill kill! Quick, pilot this forward. Let’s destroy this major city of theirs regardless of what plot or scheme that they might have.”
Jiaojiao was getting agitated.
The battalion has yet to arrive, but Li Yi did not stop and wait around. Instead, he drove the flying-bird warplane straight into the airspace of the major city.
Ssst ssst!
The 100 energy points that Jiaojiao has saved was released to the city in one go.
From the left eye of the flying-bird warplane, a white Energy Beam stretched out to violently sweep at the ground. The buildings below were immediately cut in half by the brutal Energy Beam.
Woosh woosh!
Two steel-coated bombs the size of watermelons were thrown from the underside of the flying-bird warplane.
Those were energy bombs exclusive to the flying-bird warplane. They cause very low damage to all players but are catastrophic to the buildings in the city.
Boom! Boom!
A building was destroyed. At that moment, the Southern Continent players in the major city have finally realized what was going on. They quickly flocked towards the location of the destruction.
Li Yi and his team would switch location after each shot. Their main aim was to demolish all of the buildings around and to immediately avoid direct confrontation whenever they encounter a large number of players. They blew things up wherever they go, and soon they had destroyed over half of the buildings in this major city.
Li Yi’s skill in maneuvering the flying-bird warplane was definitely top-notch. He piloted it in such a way that it maintained a distance where the NPC soldiers from below could not hit the plane, but the Energy Beam and bombs on the plane could still hit the buildings below.
“Dark Wing has got some people with him to start a city-wide massacre! The coordinates are…”
“Brothers, come quickly to our aid! Dark Wing and his people are at Fragrance City, everyone teleport here directly!”
The Southern Continent players started to call for help. Immediately, the teleportation point flashed continuously. At least a thousand players have directly Teleported themselves directly from the Celestial Capital to this city through the teleportation door.
All of them were random players. Only a pathetically small number of them had the words ‘Fluttering Snow Alliance’ or ‘Arthur’s Empire’ over their heads.
After bombing his way through on the flying-bird warplane, the question brewing in his head was getting bigger and bigger.
Both the Fluttering Snow Alliance and Arthur’s Empire chose to not defend themselves. What tricks were they trying to do?
Li Yi took out the Divine Looking Glass and keyed in ‘Drifting Snow’ on it.
[Drifting Snow (Male)]
[Faction: Southern Continent]
[Guild: Fluttering Snow Alliance]
[Level 93]
[Race: Human]

…
[Target’s Current Location: Invincible Continent, outside Shattered Frost City. Coordinates: 12521155: 134516171]
…
Li Yi barked out a loud curse, “F*ck!”
Jiaojiao was taken aback. “What’s going on?”
“Return immediately with Forever Together and Teleport us to Shattered Frost City. They’re thinking of sneakily back-attacking us!”
Jiaojiao raised one of her arms. With a strong wave, a golden light enveloped all five of them before they disappeared without a trace within a second.
As the National Level increased, the king’s special skill Forever Together will have an increasingly powerful effect. Initially, the skill could only allow the teleportation of the king, but now the skill could also allow the simultaneous teleportation of the king and the teammates around the king.
“Brothers, focus your firepower on the city. Burn Fragrance City to the ground for me!”
Li Yi’s infrequent message at the World Channel immediately made quite a stir.
“Boss Dark Wing is here, he’s here with us this time!”
“I’ve never seen even his shadow in every major war that I have participated in. This time I could finally see him live in-person.”
“Since our big boss is around, what is there left for us to fear? Let’s go and kill all of their men and snatch all of their women!”
When Li Yi and Jiaojiao returned to their country, the battalion from the Invincible Continent has successfully breached Fragrance City and went for the kill…
Li Yi gave a coordinate to Jiaojiao and used Teleport to appear within Shattered Frost City together.
According to the Divine Looking Glass, Drifting Snow was approaching Shattered Frost City!
Li Yi drank a bottle of Divine Essence Formula to recover the HP he exhausted after using Teleport. Then, he summoned the Violent Bear King and checked the Divine Looking Glass in a relaxed manner.
Drifting Snow was really here. His visit to Shattered Frost City this time does have a sneaky back-attack on the agenda, but that was not the complete picture of his intentions. Instead, it was because of Onyxia’s escape as a dragon in his last attack.
It was impossible for him to not know of the Black Dragon Princess’s famous name. It was the perfect time for him to kill Onyxia, especially since she was still in Weak status and could only use less than 10% of her abilities.
Drifting Snow was a man of high ambitions. He dreamt of riding the Black Dragon Princess and controlling the Flaming Phoenix. The majestic look of that inspired sight was enough to make him grow hot just from thinking about it.
Drifting Snow rode on his white gryphon and searched within the ruins of Shattered Frost City. His experience told him that Onyxia would definitely return.
Soon, he spotted Onyxia who was in her human form below him.
“She really did come back!”
Drifting Snow was overjoyed. He ordered the Flaming Phoenix to attack Onyxia.
Thwip!
Just when the Flaming Phoenix went and approached Onyxia, a Frost Arrow spun furiously and aimed toward the back of Drifting Snow’s head.
Li Yi launched his attacks!
Thwack!
Both Crippling Strike and Critical Hit appeared simultaneously. Above Drifting Snow’s head was a damage value of [-15321], and he was a hair’s breadth away from dying!
Thwip!
At this moment, Li Yi’s second arrow flew closer. Drifting Snow chugged down a bottle of golden potion, increasing his HP by 11344 in a blink of an eye.
Thwack!
The second arrow found its target. This time, Critical Hit did not happen, and it only damaged Drifting Snow by [-9135]!
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
Meteor Arrows rained towards him like meteors. The gap between the second and the third arrow was less than a second!
Poof!
Li Yi’s arrows were swift, and the location he selected for his ambush was not too close and not too far that Drifting Snow had no way of dodging him. Initially, it would take only one more arrow to kill Drifting Snow, but right at this moment, Drifting Snow suddenly pointed at the Flaming Phoenix. The surface of his body suddenly glowed purple.
Thwack!
[-27864]
Li Yi’s arrow has hit Drifting Snow, but the terrifying damage value appeared above Flaming Phoenix’s head instead.
This was the Pet Protection skill exclusive to Pet Archers. It could only be learned only if the Skill Points of the Pet Path was added to over 130 points. Its effect was that within the 12 seconds after it was triggered, all damage sustained by the master would be reflected onto the pet.
Drifting Snow rolled on the ground and transformed himself into a piebald leopard. Then, he quickly entered into Stealth Mode.
He was a Pet Archer that also knew the Beast Soul’s Possession skill!
“Squawk!”
The Flaming Phoenix stretched its fire feathers before casting a Flame Shower Spell on Li Yi.
A rain of fire descended from the sky. This skill was similar to a Wizard’s Blizzard and could be cast within a targeted area. However, the Flame Shower Spell of a Flaming Phoenix had a much bigger attack range than the Wizard’s Blizzard.
He was surrounded by the Flame Shower from all directions. Seeing that the flames were moments away from hitting his head, Li Yi abruptly lied horizontally on the ground.
Pseudocide!
“Teleport!”
Pseudocide has allowed him to successfully leave the battle. Then, Li Yi disappeared into thin air.
“Squawk!”
The Flaming Phoenix scanned its surrounding dumbly after it has lost its target.
“Did he escape?”
Drifting Snow looked around in confusion in Stealth Mode. At this moment, three unexpected arrows shot from behind him.
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
This time, Drifting Snow failed to dodge them. Three damage values appeared above his head before he finally collapsed to the ground and ceased his breathing.
Stealth Mode was canceled. The arrogant Flaming Phoenix was forcefully Dismissed too…
Li Yi walked out from a pile of nearby rubble. He had at least three methods to avoid the Flame Shower Spell, but he has chosen to Teleport away because he wanted to kill Drifting Snow from here.
Stealth Mode was basically invisibility. Under normal circumstances, there was no way to see the person in Stealth. However, Li Yi was different. With the Heart of a Clear Mirror mode activated, any target would never escape his sight!
Drifting Snow laid still on the ground and did not release his soul for a long time. He was very regretful of his death…
The war of retaliation has started. Since Drifting Snow originated from the Fluttering Snow Alliance of the Southern Continent, the target of this assault was naturally set on the Southern Continent.
With Jiaojiao’s order, Li Yi temporarily gave up on his plans to go to the Northern Continent. He instructed Onyxia to return on her own while he accepted the order and was teleported to the Abyssal Crevice.
