Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 169 Melee, Dragon Transformation

"Boom!"

The deafening roar never stopped once it started.

Since the Blood Fiend Sect's protective formation was broken, the Blood God Guild Alliance launched a full-scale attack on the Blood Fiend Sect. Nearly a million players and hundreds of powerful Vajra Gods and Demons all gathered in the direction of the formation's destruction and engaged in a frenzied battle.

The Blood Fiend Sect's patriarch personally took charge of the breach in the formation, and together with many Blood Fiend Sect experts and over 100,000 Blood Fiend Sect players, they managed to hold back the million-strong allied army.

With a powerful immortal in charge, focused solely on defense, it would be virtually impossible to break through without a master of the same level.

The guild alliance dispatched several top experts whose strength was no less than that of Sikong Xiang, each wielding an eighth or even ninth-tier magic weapon, but they could only stand in front of the Blood Fiend Sect patriarch for a short while.

The ninth-tier magic weapon is very powerful and can block the attack of the Earth Immortal Ancestor head-on.

However, each block consumes a very high amount of defensive power and requires a huge amount of mana to maintain. Each person can only block for a little over a minute before having to retreat to recover mana.

Only by alternating back and forth like this could they withstand the strongest wave of firepower from the Blood Fiend Ancestor.

But that's clearly not enough. Blood Fiend Ancestor only made a casual attack, but they had to fight desperately. If they kept going, they would definitely be the first to give up.

Any slight mistake could allow the Blood Fiend Ancestor to seize the opportunity and crush him with a single finger.

But they had no choice. Someone had to keep Blood Fiend Ancestor occupied so he couldn't leave, and then they could hope that the main force could defeat or even wipe out the Blood Fiend Sect disciples. At that time, Blood Fiend Ancestor would be all alone and would have no choice but to accept his fate and leave.

Yes, their plan did not include eliminating the Blood Fiend Ancestor.

That's too difficult. Earth Immortals are much stronger than super BOSSes. Unless you're stubborn, it's almost impossible to kill them without a master of the same level.

In any case, their mission is to destroy the Blood Fiend Sect, which does not include killing the Blood Fiend Ancestor.

As predicted by Sikong Xiang and other guild alliance experts, without the support of the Earth Immortal Ancestor, the Blood Fiend Sect was no match for the guild alliance.

The difference in numbers is too great. The guild alliance started with nearly 500,000 members and hired hundreds of thousands more casual players. With the addition of more than 300,000 who came later, the total number of members is now over 1.2 million.

The vast majority of these are practitioners of the Gu, Ghost, and Corpse paths. Not to mention that the Gu path is too much of a waste, there are over a hundred million zombies, vengeful ghosts, and demons alone.

Countless vengeful ghosts, zombies, and demons converged to form a demonic cloud covering hundreds of kilometers, crowding the gap. No matter how the Blood Fiend Sect players tried to exterminate them, they could not kill them all.

Too much.

The guild alliance had been preparing for this battle for almost a year, with each guild having a full complement of cannon fodder, and a large reserve of them. As one batch died, another was replaced, and they would use cannon fodder to fight head-on.

"Damn, they're rich!"

Su Yu arrived at the Blood Fiend Gate and looked out at the battlefield from a distance, feeling deeply moved.

He could hardly describe the sheer scale of the chaotic battle.

Even with a large number of ghouls as cannon fodder, many players still died in battle, with hundreds of people being instantly killed by the chaotic aftershocks almost every moment.

Especially those high-level Loose Immortals from the Blood Fiend Sect, whose level is over 180, are much stronger than those below that level. Their magic is incredibly powerful with every move, and ordinary players are instantly killed upon encountering them, with almost no exceptions.

In particular, a Blood Fiend Sect expert at level 197 summoned a blood cloud covering thousands of acres, sweeping across the sky. The Gu worms and vengeful ghosts that rushed into it quickly melted away, and the blood cloud, fused with the essence of living beings, became even more dazzling.

"boom!"

The blood cloud suddenly exploded, instantly expanding from covering a thousand acres to several thousand acres. As the Blood Fiend Sect expert reached out and grabbed, it dispersed, engulfing millions of zombies, vengeful ghosts, and Gu worms, as well as tens of thousands of players, within the several thousand acres.

"Boom!"

The blood cloud trembled violently, emitting bright lights as if it were exploding.

The explosion vanished in a mere thirty seconds. When the blood cloud dispersed again, there was nothing left inside. The millions of Gu worms and vengeful spirits that had just been devoured, along with tens of thousands of players, had all disappeared.

"Yo ho!"

Looking at the scene displayed in the water mirror, Xuanwei Daoist couldn't help but click his tongue:

"That kid is too bold. He dares to step into such a situation. I'll have to say something to him when he gets back."

The old ancestor of the dragons glanced at the barely perceptible curve of Xuanwei Daoist's lips and said with a smile:
"Your grand-disciple is bold and meticulous, and his abilities are extraordinary. He should be able to pass this trial with flying colors."

But for some reason, the Old Ancestor of the Dragon felt a little sour. Looking at the performance of his favored grand-disciple in the other water mirror, he felt increasingly uneasy.

Master Xuanwei smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying:
"Generally speaking, they are too daring and easily put themselves in danger."

"Just pretend."

On the water mirror, Su Yu was startled to see the blood cloud explode and instantly kill tens of thousands of people, and for a moment she didn't dare to go up.

"Let's play it safe."

He suppressed his inner urges and mingled with the crowd as he approached the battlefield.

"As long as we get rid of Sikong Xiang, even if we don't kill him completely, just crippling him will be enough."

According to the mission criteria, if you can cripple him, you will be rewarded with 3000 sect contribution points, three minor merits, and +15 in demon-slaying. A demon like this will definitely bring a lot of merit.

This reward alone is enough to put his merit and demon-slaying points in the top ten.

His sect contribution might be a bit lacking, but it wasn't a big problem. There was still plenty of time; he could easily accumulate enough by taking on some smaller tasks back home. With this plan in mind, Su Yu quietly stayed in the rear.

If you don't want to take advantage of the chaos, then keep an eye on the main battlefield and wait for your opportunity.

It's not that I didn't think about it at all, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt there was no chance.

First of all, any important place of a sect must be protected by many restrictions. He does not have the great divine power of splitting the sky now, so he can only use brute force to break through the restrictions to enter, which is quite time-consuming. The more important the place, the stronger the defense and the more time-consuming it is.

Any action will cause a commotion and attract a lot of attention. If the Blood Fiend Ancestor discovers it, he could easily kill him with a single finger.

Don't doubt whether it's possible; it's definitely possible. If one finger can't kill it instantly, try another; you'll eventually succeed.

Although he has enough lifespan to afford to die, it's best not to die all the time if he can avoid it.

Moreover, his main task is still the trial mission; everything else is secondary. He cannot let secondary tasks affect his main task.

With this in mind, he kept a low profile and stayed in the background, quietly observing the changing battlefield.

He didn't have to wait long; the powerful strength of the Earth Immortal Ancestor quickly created an opportunity for him.

It was Sikong Xiang's turn to defend against the Blood Fiend Ancestor again. As before, he summoned a demonic diagram to withstand the Blood Fiend Ancestor's towering blood finger. He withstood more than ten fingers in a row, took a pill to restore his mana, and quickly used many secret techniques to withstand several more attacks. Then another expert came to block the Blood Fiend Ancestor's next attack and covered Sikong Xiang's retreat.

Quickly retreating to the rear, Sikong Xiang exhaled, took out the Demon Diagram, and sprayed a mouthful of demonic fire onto it, preparing to reforge his natal magic weapon.

But less than two seconds after he closed his eyes, a sudden warning arose in his heart. He abruptly opened his eyes and looked up, only to see an enormous crimson light soaring into the sky, followed by a deafening dragon's roar. A violent shockwave and invisible fluctuations swept over him, and his whole body trembled. His soul was so shocked by the terrifying dragon's might that he was unable to move for a moment.

"A true dragon from a mythological template?"

He was wondering where the dragon had come from when, in the next second, the ten-kilometer-long dragon lowered its head, its blazing pupils, as hot as the sun, staring straight at him. His expression changed drastically.

"Oh no, they're coming for me."

"Anqi, protect me quickly."

The trusted subordinates reacted immediately and summoned a large yellow bell to protect them. Then they activated another magical artifact to prepare to unleash it.

"Pfft!"

When they saw Su Yu transform into a sacred and divine mythical dragon in the water mirror, both Xuanwei Daoist and Youlong Ancestor stood up in a flurry, their eyes fixed on the crimson dragon slowly unfurling its massive body in the water mirror, their faces filled with indescribable shock.

Yes, neither of the two immortals could control their expressions at this moment.

After a moment, the two exchanged glances. The shock on Xuanwei Daoist's face had vanished, replaced by barely suppressed joy. He laughed heartily:
"This kid actually has this trick up his sleeve, it really startled me."

Turning back to see the Old Ancestor Youlong, his expression was one of shock and envy that he could not hide.

"I don't know where this kid learned that from, daring to go all the way south. He's too bold. Even if he can transform into a real dragon, it's still very dangerous."

"No, I have to teach him a lesson when he gets back, otherwise what if he gets bullied in the future?"

"So, senior brother, do you think he can complete the mission and kill Sikong Xiang?"

"I think it's difficult. After all, it's a true lineage, and there's the Blood Fiend Ancestor nearby. What if he stops us? Will Xiaoyu be able to defeat him?"

"Senior brother, should we go and provide backup?"

"Junior brother!"

The Old Ancestor Youlong suddenly stood up, solemnly clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Daoist Xuanwei, saying very earnestly:
"Junior brother, you know my lifespan is coming to an end, but I have no one to inherit my mantle. Do you know..."

Before he could finish speaking, Master Xuanwei let out a strange cry:
"Oh no, it's about to rain. I forgot that I haven't taken in the herbs I dried this morning. I'm sorry, senior brother. I'll go and collect the herbs."

With a flash of light, the person vanished, leaving the Youlong Ancestor, still bowing in reverence, motionless for a long time.

When his apprentice Zhou Yue pushed open the door and entered, seeing his master alone in a bowing posture, he asked in confusion:

"Master, where is my martial uncle?"

The Old Ancestor of the Dragon did not answer, but slowly got up and turned to look at the Water Mirror.

Zhou Yue saw the deep envy and longing in her master's eyes and looked curiously at the water mirror, only to see a crimson dragon claw that blotted out the sky pressing down.

"clang!"

The deafening sound of the bell echoed outwards, and the large yellow bell shattered into pieces. The dragon claw pressed down directly, and the clear light that An Qi had just summoned exploded into a ball of sparks and quickly burned away.

"boom!"

The dragon claws, stretching nearly a kilometer in length, pressed down deeply into the earth, instantly killing thousands of people nearby.

"Shit!"

All the players around were startled and scattered instantly.

Suddenly, a true dragon with a level 200 mythical template appeared, and the battle naturally could not continue. Many experts from the guild alliance withdrew one after another. Blood Fiend Ancestor also disregarded the pursuit and looked at Su Yu with a wary expression. He quickly retreated back into the formation and made a gesture. The blood cloud covering a radius of hundreds of kilometers above the Blood Fiend Sect began to rotate.
