Chapter 1112: Sword Cultivators Must Play the Meatshield First, Got It?
"Ah, not in vain, it's Brother Ming. Tanking the ultimate moves of three Divine Transformations and then exploding with an AOE burst!"
"Oh my god, got it, I got it!"
"He Yi Ming: Sword cultivators must play the meatshield first, endure the enemies' big moves, then turn around and execute a three-hit sword combo to wipe them out. Did you learn it?"
"Logical, as a sword cultivator, if you can't even endure others' big moves, how can you output damage? Very reasonable!"
"This is the classic tutorial for damage-dealing professions - staying alive is essential for outputting. Universal understanding, truly worthy of being our Brother Ming!"
"Ah~ Just woke up and logged in, is the CG storyline over?"
...
Most players took out their notebooks and started taking notes, while a few were left confused.
What the heck, I just logged off for a nap/hotpot, and Brother Ming's already done? The BoSS is dead already? This fast?
The promised three days and nights of intense battle, 983's Blood War, ahem, have they turned into a bloodbath?
"Disciples, Jian San is dead! Next..."
"Time to conquer the Ancient Sword Domain!"
"Rebels, exterminate them all!"
...
He Yi Ming waved his hand dramatically and shouted with authority.
"Ao ao ao, damn these game designers, the CG storyline is finally over, time to fight!"
"Damn it, even Nascent Soul mini-bosses are mine!"
"Nonsense, anyone who dares to steal mobs from me will be annihilated by me!"
...
After the players cheered for a while, they began their sweeping spree.
Meanwhile, the disciples and elders of the Ancient Sword Domain turned pale in an instant, sinking into despair.
The Ancient Sword Domain was doomed!
He Yi Ming's thoughts shifted, taking a step and soaring through the air. With a spatial shift technique, he arrived at the next battlefield through the teleportation array his Fire Spirit had set up.
"Hmm?" However, upon witnessing the scene before him, He Yi Ming was left baffled.
"Ah? Brother Ming is here?" He saw Unyielding Bear squatting on the ground, holding skewers in his left hand and ice spirit wine in his right, leisurely sitting in the main hall of the Thunder God Temple.
Unyielding Bear wasn't sitting on a stool but on the corpse of a late-stage Yuan Ying expert who had just died.
"..." He Yi Ming was a bit puzzled by the situation, so he spread his divine sense and surveyed the surroundings.
???
Then He Yi Ming was stunned to find that there was no Thunder God Temple's patriarch, not to mention the Divine Transformation powerhouse Thunder God Patriarch, there wasn't even a half-step Divine Transformation expert.
Apart from the thousands of players of the Battlefield Army engaged in battle with Thunder God Temple's low-level disciples at a distance, this Thunder God Domain...
Didn't even have a peak Yuan Ying expert!
So where had the high-ranking experts of Thunder God Temple gone?
"What's going on?" He Yi Ming asked Unyielding Bear for an explanation.
"Ah, I don't know either. Eastern Sea Devil brought the fourth-generation rookies to fight a positional war, while I came over alone for a solo run! But there's not a single worthy opponent; the strongest one here is this guy I'm sitting on, a late-stage Yuan Ying minor mob... ahem, minor spicy... ahem, master!" Unyielding Bear explained in detail.
According to Unyielding Bear's account, apart from a bunch of weaklings trying to ambush players, the entire main hall of the sect was practically empty!
With fewer than a thousand remaining disciples, the strongest was this late-stage Yuan Ying elder nearing the end of his lifespan.
As for the Thunder God Patriarch, the Divine Transformation powerhouse, and those Nascent Soul experts, including the elite disciples—none of them could be found.
He Yi Ming operated his divine sense and scanned over a large part of Thunder God Domain, but there was no trace.
He Yi Ming had a vague suspicion, but he couldn't confirm it yet, so he moved on and arrived at the next domain.
However, after crossing through five domains in succession, He Yi Ming realized that none of these domains had a Divine Transformation stage presence.
Not only were there no Divine Transformation powerhouses, even peak Yuan Ying experts were absent. High-ranking figures and core disciples had all vanished as if they weren't in these domains!
So, in these five domains, the journey to claim dominance was smooth, as there were no high-ranking experts present. The domains had already been swept clear!
However...
The attack on the Heavenly God Temple, the path of players' legions, had suffered heavy losses. It could almost be said that they had been wiped out!
Wang Lufei was besieged by seven Divine Transformation powerhouses, miserably defeated and captured! The accompanying male demon players were almost entirely wiped out, with most being crushed to death and a few captured alive!
This legion of players had practically been obliterated!
It wasn't the fault of the male demon players being weak!
It was because the War God Hall, Ten Thousand Wood Sect, Sacred Fire Hall, Blood Demon Sect, Ten Thousand Beast Sect, and Thunder God Temple—the six major forces—had all abandoned their original domains and converged in the Heavenly Demon Domain!
These six Divine Transformation stage Patriarchs, leading their high-ranking figures and elite disciples, had all concentrated their forces in the Heavenly Demon Domain!
This meant that the Ten Divine Alliances had splintered. The Three Sword Alliance, Locking Soul Hall, and the Holy Water Hall had been abandoned and were successively conquered by He Yi Ming!
Meanwhile, the remaining seven major forces had gathered all their strength and assembled in the Heavenly Demon Domain!
No matter how strong Wang Lufei was, he would inevitably be defeated by a seven-on-one situation in the Divine Transformation stage.
