The Fourth Calamity: People in High Martial Arts, Gods in Games

Chapter 106 The Master's Sword (Long Chapter)

"Uncle!"

Glenta stared in disbelief at Noko's chest, which had been pierced through.

As for the hundreds of members of the Great Ape Gang present, they were all shocked and terrified, standing there dumbfounded, unable to believe it was real.

The Great Ape Gang has stood tall in the wilderness of the City of Light for decades. Even when it fought against other gangs ranked in the top twenty in the wilderness, at most some ordinary high-ranking members of the gang would die, and core high-ranking members at the vice-gang leader level would never die.

The closest one was more than ten years ago, when a deputy gang leader offended a young master from a powerful family in the suburbs and was attacked and killed by eight quasi-martial artists in the wild. At that time, the deputy gang leader did not die, but ninety percent of the more than one hundred confidants he brought with him died, but all eight quasi-martial artists were left alive.

Now, the deputy leader of the Noko gang has been killed by a master apprentice and a senior apprentice working together, and right in the Great Ape Gang's headquarters. This is absolutely outrageous.

If this matter gets out, the prestige that the Great Ape Gang has built up over the years in the wild will probably be completely lost overnight.

The hundreds of members of the Great Ape Gang present even felt that if they were held accountable afterward, they would all be doomed and would have to die along with Norko.

"Kill! At any cost! We must wipe them all out!" Glenta seemed to have forgotten the wound on his arm. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared in the direction Luo Wushang and the others had left, and he roared, "Activate the defensive electric grid! Enter Level One Alert! Anyone who dares to back down will die afterwards!"

At Glenta's command, all the members of the Great Ape Gang roared, pounding their hands on the ground or their chests, their eyes turning bloodshot and going mad, their bestial instincts fully unleashed.

In an instant, the entire Great Ape Gang's headquarters was filled with the piercing alarm that echoed throughout the valley. Upon hearing the alarm, the members of the Great Ape Gang, whether they were fleeing or planning to reunite with the gang's experts, all rushed towards the entrances and exits of the headquarters as if they had been stimulated.

Whenever an intruder is discovered, whether they are junior apprentices of the Great Ape Gang or ordinary members of the gang, they rush forward like madmen, risking their lives to save them.

"Wu Chang, what have you done? These gorillas are completely insane! They used to know how to run away, but now they're throwing their lives away."

Zhang Qingwei watched as Luo Wushang and the others rushed out from the core of the Great Ape Gang, fending off the siege of more than thirty members of the Great Ape Gang while weaving between houses and dodging distant arrows. He was filled with confusion.

At this moment, it wasn't just Zhang Qingwei who was facing a large-scale attack from the Big Ape Gang members; the other players who had gathered were also facing similar situations, and it wasn't easy for them to escape.

"We took down one of their vice-leaders and got Yi Ye a B2-grade halberd." Luo Wushang, her face pale, said as she retreated while dodging more than a dozen arrows. "We have to get out of here quickly. If the group behind us catches up, it will be very difficult for us to leave this place."

"Vice President Luo is amazing, he actually took down a BOSS." Fang Zhen, who had joined them, couldn't help but give a thumbs up, looking at the long halberd carried by Yi Ye Fu Yun with some envy in his eyes. "Killing a BOSS is definitely the most profitable thing."

The Dawn Squad searched the Great Ape Gang's headquarters for a long time but didn't find anything good or any elite leaders. They only killed a few high-level apprentices and obtained a few A6-level weapons.

Even a single B2-level weapon is worth millions of points. Not to mention that a halberd can replace a spear, which is equivalent to giving a cloud a suitable B2-level weapon. It's incredibly awesome.

"Let's retreat quickly." Li Ranxing deflected several incoming arrows and reminded them, "Stamina and health in this game are not unlimited. Once we run out of health, a group of novice apprentices can surround and kill us."

"This game is too realistic. It's definitely faster. There are elite and leader-level enemies hidden among these people. Their archery skills are extremely accurate and sharp, and they're using B2-level arrows. A6-level protective gear is completely useless." The Frontier Gunner clutched the wound on his shoulder where a B2-level arrow had pierced through, blood still gushing out. His face was very pale as he smiled bitterly. "Although the pain in this game is bearable, the injuries not only affect the whole body, but even the torn muscles in my arm will twitch, making it impossible to exert any strength. I had only heard about this from others before, but I never thought that this game could reproduce it all. It's simply amazing."

"Everyone, be careful not to get hit in the abdomen by those powerful arrows. If you are hit in the liver area, in reality, you will be stiff and unable to move for a short period of time. Even the most powerful hero will be helpless. This game may also be like that. At that time, any ordinary person can take the opportunity to kill us."

Everyone present agreed with Li Ranxing's suggestion. Although there was still some time, everyone's blood and energy had been greatly depleted after the series of battles. If they continued to fight, their blood and energy would be exhausted, and they would find it difficult to even move their bodies, let alone fight.

Immediately, the members of Luo Wushang, Fang Zhen, and Yi Ye Fuyun's three teams reached a consensus and decided to break through to a place to the west.

Although the Great Ape Gang's headquarters is in a valley with only one entrance, the valley is quite wide, making it difficult to form an encirclement in a short time. The western side is the warehouse area built by the Great Ape Gang, which is usually unguarded, making it a good time to break out.

However, Luo Wushang and the others had a good idea, but they did not expect how terrifying the Great Ape Gang's Level 1 Alert status was.

Once the Big Ape Gang activates Level 1 alert, any enemy they encounter must be fought to the death. If any enemy escapes, they will be purged afterward, and the gang's purge is far more terrifying than death itself.

What should have been a one-minute walk for Luo Wushang and her companions took five minutes to cover as more and more members of the Great Ape Gang converged and attacked them. They still hadn't seen the outer wall, and the number of Great Ape Gang members surrounding and attacking Luo Wushang and her companions continued to increase.

Even though Luo Wushang and her group killed wave after wave, from the initial two hundred or so to now over a thousand.

At this moment, even seasoned experts like Luo Wushang, who had been through countless battles in the pilgrimage, felt what it meant to be able to fight against four people with two fists, and to be able to kill an elephant with many ants. It was completely different from other virtual games.

In other virtual games, level is everything. Killing low-level monsters and players is as easy as playing a game. You don't even need to deliberately defend or dodge when facing low-level monsters and enemies; you can just take the hits head-on.

However, things are different in the High Martial Arts Realm. Even attacks from low-level enemies need to be blocked and dodged, otherwise, if a weapon hits you, you will be 100% injured. If it hits a vital spot, you will be paralyzed or even die.

Fortunately, Luo Wushang and the others were also experienced in combat. They could move among the enemies to avoid being surrounded by many members of the Great Ape Gang, greatly reducing the number of enemies they faced at the same time, making it much easier to deal with them.

Fang Zhen and his group were used to teamwork in battle, and their mutual support always allowed them to easily resolve crises and even turn the tide of battle.

As for lone masters like Xiaoyuan Ye Feng Kuang from the strategy group, they break through the enemy lines by using heavy blows to repel the charging enemies. This causes a large number of enemies behind them to be knocked back and unable to launch a sneak attack. Each heavy blow can take down one person.

Although everyone fought very hard, they were taking the lives of the Great Ape Gang members almost every minute and every second, leaving them lying on the ground in droves. The entire road was covered with the corpses of the Great Ape Gang members, truly a river of blood.

Even the high-ranking members of the Great Ape Gang, who were directing the battle, were shocked by what they saw.

"No wonder the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, with its relatively small number of members, is ranked forty-second by the Martial Arts Association. If those dozen or so members of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy were to deal with other major gangs in the wild, they could probably wipe out those gangs ranked around fifty." A prospective martial arts elder from the Great Ape Gang looked at the remaining thirteen members of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy with amazement.

Of the mere nineteen people, the strongest was only a Limitless Apprentice. Any high-ranking member of the Great Ape Gang would probably look down on them, or even disregard them.

However, the nineteen members of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy possessed astonishing combat power. Despite being surrounded by thousands of others, they had fought their way through until now, having probably killed over three hundred members of the Great Ape Gang, while only losing six of their own. Such a feat would be unparalleled in the entire wilderness of the City of Light.

"No matter what, they will die today!" Glenta, whose arm was already immobile, stared intently at Yi Ye Fuyun and Luo Wushang, his words leaving no room for doubt.

The other six quasi-martial arts elders who arrived did not refute, but simply watched quietly as Luo Wushang and the others grew weaker and weaker.

Deputy gang leader Norko had always raised Glenta like his own son. Now that Norko had been killed, Glenta would definitely seek revenge. Not to mention that the Great Ape Gang couldn't afford to lose so much face, so they had to silence him.

"I feel like I can barely lift my hands anymore from killing. Does this game have to be this realistic?" Yi Ye Fuyun panted heavily, glancing at the ape corpses scattered all over the ground and the frontier gunmen who had long been chopped into pieces. Looking at the Great Ape Gang members rushing up again, he said helplessly, "I should have increased my stamina and blood energy more. Now, the B2-level weapon that I finally got is about to be gone."

"Hang in there, everyone. We're only a hundred meters away from the wall."

Fang Zhen had just dodged an arrow and blasted back three senior apprentices of the Great Ape Gang with a single spear thrust when he caught a glimpse of the wall not far away. He was immediately delighted and couldn't help but encourage the twelve people who were still fighting.

The latest novel is first published here!

The twelve people who were still fighting hard were also encouraged by Fang Zhen, and they squeezed out their last bit of strength and quickly moved towards the wall.

"Kill! We absolutely cannot let them leave alive today!"

"Six elders, come at me together!"

Seeing Luo Wushang and Yiye Fuyun breaking through the wall, Glenta rushed forward first. The other six elders of the Great Ape Gang, whose strength had reached the level of quasi-martial artists, stopped watching and quickly attacked the players who were almost exhausted.

It is so fast that it can cover a distance of 100 meters in less than three seconds.

"Damn it, their leader is charging up. We're no match for them right now." After killing a junior apprentice of the Great Ape Gang with a single palm strike, Zhao Hu's expression turned grim when he saw Glenta charging towards them. "With the wall in front of us, we probably won't have time to escape."

In their current state, it's already difficult enough for the thirteen of them to just stand up. If they were facing several near-martial artists at their peak, they would definitely be doomed.

"Forget it! It's just death! I'll stay here to hold them off. Wu Chang, you guys take your B-grade weapons and run!" Zhang Qingwei looked at the five-meter-high wall less than ten meters away and stopped retreating. She took a deep breath, took out the A6-grade battle knife she had picked up, got into a fighting stance, and no longer held back any of her strength. She planned to fight to the death if she could kill one of the elders of the Great Ape Gang.

"Want to leave? Not so easy!"

Glenta, who was the first to rush up, appeared in front of Zhang Qingwei in a flash and swung his B2-level one-handed axe down.

With a single move, the martial artist-level skill "Tear the Sky," unleashing three times the power and nearly four thousand kilograms of force, Zhang Qingwei was sent flying, crashing into the wall. A huge gash appeared on the A6-grade battle blade, nearly breaking it in two.

"die!"

With the powerful support capabilities of her A6-level armor, Glenta launched a swift attack without hesitation. Immediately after landing, Zhang Qingwei followed up with another axe strike. The speed was so fast that even Luo Wushang couldn't react in time and could only watch as the axe fell.

boom!

Just as the meter-long single-handed axe was about to fall on Zhang Qingwei's head, the wall behind Zhang Qingwei suddenly shattered, and a blue arc of electricity shot out and struck Glenta.

Thanks to the A6-level armor, Glenta was able to perform a mid-air spin immediately, narrowly avoiding the blue arc of electricity.

Until the blue arc of electricity disappeared, everyone in the audience couldn't help but gasp.

Where the blue arc of electricity passed, it left a charred sword mark more than ten meters long and more than one meter deep on the ground. A senior apprentice of the Great Ape Gang, wearing A5-level protective gear, and several junior apprentices were all cut in half, along with their protective gear, and blood splattered all over the ground.

"You want to kill my Obsidian Martial Arts School disciples? Did you even ask me?"

As a deep, resonant voice came from outside the wall, everyone in the room turned to look.

Before the collapsed wall stood a figure dressed in a jet-black martial robe. His dark eyes shone like stars in the moonlight. He held a pale blue longsword, the blade of which was engraved with unknown blood-red runes and crackled with faint arcs of electricity. He seemed to be from another world.

"Lord, Master?"
