The Fourth Disaster: People become gods through high martial arts and gaming

Chapter 260 Hurting others first hurts oneself? One stadium leads to the downfall of a city?
"How can they still have so many people?"

Standing atop the city wall, the wolf gazed at the gray-clad figures six kilometers away, seemingly discussing something, his brow furrowed, almost unable to believe his eyes.

The previous nearly a thousand gray-clad men had already caused heavy losses to Ragewind Town. Although the overall number of martial artists had not decreased much, the number of experts at the Bone Forging Realm had decreased by nearly a quarter.

With Blood Coagulation Realm cultivators unable to act, Bone Forging Realm experts become the core fighting force. Once all Bone Forging Realm experts are wiped out, the remaining Organ Refining Realm warriors are nothing more than fish on a chopping board.

There are now thousands of gray-clad men. If another battle breaks out, the losses to Ragewind Town will be unimaginable.

"What's there to be afraid of? At worst, we and Star Tower City will use our resources to send our warriors with heavy ion bombs to perish together with them. I don't believe their numbers can exceed the total number of warriors in the entire Ragewind Town!" The tall woman from the Flame Horn Clan said frantically.

"Alec, what do you mean?" Wild Wolf couldn't help but look at the middle-aged man from the Mountain Clan who was wearing light blue Tier 2 alloy armor.

The middle-aged man from the Mountain Clan, as the deputy city lord of Star Tower City, can be considered the spokesperson for Star Tower City and the person in charge of the overall situation in the entire Wrathwind Town.

Alec gritted his teeth and said, "I need to consult the city lord about this."

Sending martial artists to their deaths with heavy ion bombs is something usually done in dire straits. To use such methods to deal with just a few thousand gray-clad men is a laughing stock in major cities if word gets out.

However, this matter is just as the wild wolf had worried about.

They also couldn't accept another fight to the death with these men in gray.

“Alright, let’s ask the commander and the others for permission then.” Wild Wolf nodded in agreement.

Soon, Huanglang and Alec made some preparations and went to the place where Zhuogu and Lieshan, two experts at the Blood Condensation Realm, were resting, and told them everything.

Normally, such a trivial matter wouldn't need to be reported to the two Blood Condensation Realm experts, but the battle with the gray-robed man would affect the subsequent battle with the City of Light, so I had to come here specifically to ask for instructions.

“They sent more than ten deputy city lord-level experts last time, and this time they have over a thousand. It seems these gray-clad men are really planning to fight us to the death.” Zhuogu frowned slightly after hearing the report.

I initially thought the gray-clad men mentioned by the caravans were difficult to deal with because they were hiding in the Dead Mountain Range, making them hard to find. But now it seems that these gray-clad men are much stronger than I imagined.

"Use them," Lie Shan said after a moment of contemplation. "Although I don't know who these gray-clad men are, if they dare to attack Nufeng Town, then let as many as they come die!"

"Yes!" Alec bowed and left the room.

As Alec, Wild Wolf, and the others left the underground chamber, a hint of anger appeared on Lieshan's face.

"If it weren't for the rules of the Domain City, those gray-clad men wouldn't be so arrogant. I must inform the clan leader afterwards, and then we'll teach those gray-clad men a lesson!" Lie Shan looked at the list of the dead that Alek had brought, his heart filled with rage.

The battle involving less than a thousand people resulted in the loss of over a hundred Bone Forging Realm experts and two deputy city lords in Star Tower City. Such losses were unprecedented, even when facing attacks from tens of thousands of monsters. The fact that such heavy losses were incurred by a group of gray-clad men would become a laughing stock in major cities if word got out.

"This time, having those martial artists use heavy ion bombs to perish together should teach those gray-clad men a lesson." Zhuogu shook his head and said slowly, "On the contrary, the super genius who came from Domain City this time is the key to this great battle. With the strength of that super genius, who is comparable to the Blood Condensation Realm, if Lieshan and you do not have the means to fight back, our Holy Blood Mercenary Group will have no choice but to withdraw from this war."

He never cared about the gray-clad men from the beginning. They were just a newly emerged force. No matter how many experts they had at the Bone Forging Realm, could they possibly outnumber a city?
In contrast, the super genius from the Domain City who was invited here is different. His strength is comparable to that of a Blood Condensation Realm cultivator and can even contend with one. The difference in strength between the two is enormous.

If no one can stop a master at the Blood Condensation Realm, then this war is nothing but a joke.

"Brother Zhuogu, rest assured, Brother Hulei has already spent a great deal of money to order a batch of berserker potions from beyond the realm," Lieshan said with a smile. "With that batch of Type III berserker potions, even that super genius will have no way to fight against us."

"You mean the latest potion developed in the Tianhe Domain?" Zhuogu asked, a look of surprise on his face.

“That’s right, it’s that potion.” Lie Shan nodded, his smile widening.

The berserk potion developed by the Tianhe Domain can be said to have broken the balance of the martial arts world. Just one bottle can greatly increase a person's strength. Perhaps the super genius in the Domain City is very powerful, but he will still be defeated by a group of experts at the Limit Bone Forging Realm who have taken the Type 3 berserk potion.

Type 3 Berserk Potion can easily give a master of the Bone Forging Realm the strength to fight against a master of the Blood Coagulation Realm for a short period of time. If a true master of the initial stage of the Blood Coagulation Realm were to face a group of masters who could fight against the Blood Coagulation Realm, he would die on the spot, let alone a super genius who is not even a Blood Coagulation Realm master.

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved." Zhuogu looked at the confident Lieshan and continued his cultivation.

Meanwhile, outside the town of Ragewind, thousands of players had also gathered together.

"Captain Luo, have you set up the resurrection point over there?" Fang Zhen asked Luo Wushang in the underground cave, looking at the growing number of warriors gathering on the city wall.

"It's all set up now. Everyone can come and bind their accounts." Luo Wushang nodded.

In order to take over this town, their various teams spent a huge sum of money to purchase resurrection devices from the temple master. Each device cost two hundred energy crystals, and each core disciple could only purchase one. This cost Zhang Qingwei one of her purchase slots.

It can be said that for the sake of the current Nufeng Town, they have really used all the power they could.

"Finally done! Now we can have some fun with the other side." Upon hearing this, Yi Ye Fu Yun's face was full of excitement.

"Alright, let's hurry up and bind ourselves." Fang Zhen said excitedly, "This is a great place with over 100,000 martial artists. If we don't hurry, we'll be pushed here by those NPCs and lose a lot of benefits."

This time, merit is not based on how many enemies a player kills, but on how much they gain to exchange at the martial arts hall. Right now, all the warriors in Ragewind Town are wearing armor of B4 level or higher, and many are even wearing B6 level armor.

Although a B4-level armor set can only be exchanged for ten merit points, the sheer quantity makes up for it.

One hundred thousand warriors would earn a million merits, while becoming a lieutenant would only require one hundred thousand merits. This means that conquering the current Nufeng Town would produce at least ten lieutenants.

With Tianwei taking 70% of the vacancies, each of their teams can get a lieutenant officer position.

Once they become lieutenants, the qualification to establish a garrison will be within their grasp, allowing them to recruit people in various ways without worrying about the subsequent entry of large guilds and conglomerates.

Within ten minutes, thousands of people had completed their account bindings.

Shortly after the players completed their bindings, they discovered that the Ragewind Town had actually sent people to rush over.

"What's going on? Can these NPCs still take the initiative to attack?"

"Holy crap! These NPCs look like they're holding bombs!"

"These NPCs are insane! They're not even going to leave us a proper corpse to dispose of even after they're dead?"

"Holy crap! This game's quests are too cruel; they're not even going to give us any loot."

The players couldn't help but feel anxious as they looked at the warrior wielding the heavy ion bomb.

This version of the event relies on exchanging loot for merit points. If all of these are destroyed, they won't get anything at all.

"Hahaha, look! These men in gray are scared!" "Too bad their fear is useless; none of them will leave here alive today!"

On the walls of Stormwind Town, Wolf, Alec, and other high-ranking officials looked at the gray-clad men in the distance, who were now in complete chaos, and couldn't help but laugh.

They had initially thought these gray-clad men were fearless lunatics, but now, seeing them panic upon seeing the warriors wielding heavy ion bombs, they felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

"Damn it! We can't let them explode first! All those who can self-destruct, come at me! As long as we explode first, those armors are ours!" Li Tianxing of Mythical Paradise looked at the charging army of warriors and couldn't help but use the Sky-Stepping Step to rush forward.

"Right! All beginner-level martial artists should draw fire, while those with wide-range attacks should take the opportunity to strike. As long as they are killed first, their spoils can be kept!" Fang Zhen also realized this and immediately gave the order.

The bombs in "High Martial Arts Descend" are all extremely destructive on a physical level. Once they explode, nothing will be left behind. However, if you are killed by the force, although you will die, your armor and weapons will not suffer much damage. After all, the power of the force lies in its penetrating effect, which injures the opponent from an energy level.

Members of the various teams also reacted and rushed forward, trying to gather the martial artists while maintaining a certain distance to prevent them from self-destructing first.

In an instant, Li Tianxing and the others, who had mastered the power of self-destruction, rushed directly into the crowd. Before the martial artists could use the heavy ion bombs, they expanded and exploded first.

Meanwhile, Luo Wushang, who had been luring the martial artists, saw that the situation was about to improve and also unleashed a sword strike.

Absolutely devastating!

With a single sword strike, he took down hundreds of players and also eliminated dozens of warriors wielding heavy ion bombs.

This battle scene left the Wild Wolf and his men on the city wall completely dumbfounded.

None of them understood what these gray-clad lunatics were thinking.

They used self-destruction to fight self-destruction, and mutual destruction to fight mutual destruction. The key point is that the gray-clad man killed more of his own people than the enemies he killed. This made Huang Lang and the others seriously suspect that Luo Wushang and the others had a grudge against their companions and were now taking revenge on them all at once.

With the end of the first wave of battle, all of the thousands of warriors sent out by Star Tower City perished. It can be said that, apart from a very few who successfully detonated the heavy ion bombs, the vast majority were killed by the gray-clad men.

As for the hundreds of gray-clad men who died, they either self-destructed or were killed by their own people. The number of people who were actually killed by the heavy ion bomb was very small...

"Should we send more people up here?" Alec looked at the gray-clad men, now numbering only a little over a hundred, and felt a chill run down his spine.

As a veteran deputy city lord of Star Tower City, he had witnessed countless cruel scenes, but he had never seen anything so ruthless.

He sent his assassins to their deaths, feeling he had already been cruel enough.

But compared to these gray-clad men, he was practically an angel.

He seriously doubted that the gray-clad men in front of him were human at all. They killed their own people more easily than enemies, showing no regard for their comrades, as if they were just tools to be used whenever possible.

They didn't even seem to know what death was.

He felt a strange sense of loss at having his assassins carry heavy ion bombs to their deaths.

"Keep going!" Wild Wolf gritted his teeth and said, "The remaining people are all experts. If we don't eliminate them, our losses in the main battle will probably not be much lower than before."

He could see through the group of gray-clad men before him, and even understood why the caravans were afraid of them.

demon!

These gray-clad men are definitely a group of demons who crawled out of the abyss; they won't even spare their own people if they can kill.

He couldn't even imagine how much damage his Holy Blood Mercenary Group would suffer if they were to fight such a group of demons.

"The second batch is on!"

Alec thought about it and felt that what the wolf said made sense. Although the number of gray-clad men had decreased significantly, they were all experts. If they were not eliminated quickly, they would definitely become a major threat.

Immediately afterwards, a second wave of over a thousand warriors armed with heavy ion bombs rushed forward.

Boom boom boom!
Although it was already daylight, the heavy ion bombs made it seem as if many suns had appeared on the ground, illuminating the entire town of Ragewind.

Just when Wild Wolf, Alec, and the others thought it was finally over, only an hour later, another group of gray-clad men appeared outside Stormwind Town, numbering over a thousand.

This time, Alec and the others immediately ordered the use of heavy ion bombs, and after sacrificing nearly two thousand warriors, they once again killed all the gray-clad men.

However, an hour later, thousands of gray-clad men reappeared.

In a single day, both Star Tower City and the Holy Blood Mercenary Group used up all 30,000-plus heavy ion bombs, resulting in the deaths of over 40,000 warriors, effectively wiping out nearly half of the warriors in Ragewind Town.

"Are these lunatics? Are all these gray-clad men insane?" Alec stared at yet another group of gray-clad men in the distance, on the verge of losing his mind.

In order to deal with their town of Ragewind, the number of people killed by the gray-robed men was not much less than theirs. The key is that the deputy city lord level experts among the gray-robed men, that number definitely numbered in the hundreds, or even thousands.

Even the Domain City would find such a loss difficult to accept, yet the gray-clad men continued to send people to launch attacks. He didn't understand what these gray-clad men were trying to do, and why they had to go to such lengths.
"Let's retreat." Wild Wolf looked at the gray-clad men outside the town and said through gritted teeth, "We've run out of heavy ion bombs. If we continue fighting like this, we'll be wiped out if the Blood Coagulation Realm doesn't intervene."

"Retreat?" Upon hearing this, Alec looked again at the gray-clad men gathering in the distance, his heart filled with anger and helplessness.

If the gray-clad men had immediately dispatched tens of thousands of troops and thousands of experts at the deputy city lord level, he would have run away without a word. However, these gray-clad men did not do that. Instead, like demons, they chose to continuously wear them down, making them unable to extricate themselves.

“If you don’t withdraw, then we will. This battle is beyond fighting; our combat strength is simply not on the same level.” Wild Wolf looked at Alek, who was still hesitating, and said very resolutely, “As for the captain, I will explain.”

“Alright, I’ll go with you.” After hearing this, Alec understood that if they continued fighting like this, they might win one or two more matches, but if they wanted to retreat, they probably wouldn’t be able to. That was the terrifying thing about these gray-clad men.

Less than ten minutes later, when Luo Wushang and the others rushed into Nufeng Town, the entire town was deserted. There were no martial artists left, not even a single apprentice. The town, with a population of over a million, was completely empty.

It wasn't just the raging wind that suppressed the sky; even the Star Tower City army, which was still fighting on the front lines, suddenly received orders to retreat. This left the people of the City of Light, who had been struggling in the battle, dumbfounded, wondering what Star Tower City was up to.
Maple Forest Town, night falls.

"How's the investigation going in Furywind Town?" City Lord Diroya couldn't help but ask Ino, the commander of the 17th Regiment, who had just returned from the investigation. "What's the situation at Star Tower?"

"That's all," Ino said nervously.

"That's all? What do you mean?" Diloya raised an eyebrow, clearly dissatisfied with Ino's answer.

"It's physically gone," Ino quickly explained. "When we got there, there wasn't a single living person left in the entire Stormwind Town. All we could see was that Stormwind Town had experienced an unimaginable battle, with tens of thousands of martial artists dying. We even detected a large amount of heavy ion reactions..."
