Chapter 138: Space Slash

Lei Yao had no intention of genuinely persuading them to surrender; he was merely going through the motions. He didn’t even bother fabricating a reason for the battle, wasting no breath on hollow phrases like “by the mandate of heaven” or “destiny favors me.”

With a simple raise of his hand, Lei Yao’s black sword emitted a roar that shook the very fabric of space.

Water-Calling Sword Style: Sever Reality.

Having already memorized the attributes and affixes of Lei Yao’s black longsword, Doombringer, from the Construction Sage Interface, Kamiyu exclaimed in shock, “No way, he’s using his Ultimate Skill right from the start?”

She quickly steadied herself, activating the 10-second Invincibility Window within Ancestral Spirit’s Blessing.

On the city walls, players continued to mock him.

“Is Lei Yao insane? Isn’t he a Beast Tamer class? Why is he wielding a longsword like a Warrior?” one player squinted and remarked.

“Exactly, he’s a full kilometer away. What’s he even swinging at?” another player sneered.

“This ‘company dog’ dares to attack the city alone? He must be out of his mind. Even if he’s a Level 30 Closed Beta player, our Main City has five or six thousand Civilian Players right now,” a Guild Player didn’t even bother preparing a Skill.

Little did they know, in the next second, a black sword energy tore through space, materializing directly in front of the Main City’s gate and slicing the massive door vertically in half.

Several players on the gate were caught in the sword energy’s wake, instantly killed and disintegrating into blue particles that scattered in the wind.

“What the hell just happened?” a player cried out in disbelief.

“A Ranged Attack? How is that possible? Longswords are supposed to deal close-range Damage,” a Veteran Player widened his eyes, doubting what he had just witnessed.

“Brothers, Lei Yao has gone mad! He’s destroying the last Main City! The Official Players are declaring war on us Civilian Players! Let’s fight back!” a Guild Leader quickly grasped the situation and began organizing a counterattack.

Even without orders from Guild or Squad leaders, some Civilian Players took the initiative, unleashing a barrage of attacks on Lei Yao.

Fireballs, wind blades, and earthen pillars rained down on him, plunging the scene into chaos.

“What? Level 40? Wasn’t Lei Yao a Level 30 Player? When did he reach Level 40?” a player’s fireball struck Lei Yao’s body, revealing his Level after entering PVP status.

“Impossible! Do you know how hard it is to level up? It took Lei Yao a full four months to go from Level 29 to Level 30,” a Veteran Player shook his head in disbelief.

“Just hit him yourself and see.”

“Damn, he really is Level 40.” More and more players began to notice Lei Yao’s Level.

At this moment, Li Changde stepped forward and declared, “Lei Yao has colluded with Aberrant Beast Demons. That’s how he reached Level 40. He is now an enemy of humanity. Whether you’re an Official Player or a Civilian Player, we must unite to eliminate him. We cannot let him damage the Heavenly Father Altar.”

As one of the First Batch of Players, Li Changde held significant influence among Civilian Players, and his words carried weight.

Of course, his true motive was to buy time for Kamiyu’s Skill Cooldown.

Vice Guild Leader Wu Yong echoed loudly, “That’s right! Kaijistan is the last Main City. If the Heavenly Father Altar is damaged or destroyed…”

The Aberrant Beast Demons will invade the real world. For the safety of all humanity, we must protect the Heavenly Father Altar and eliminate the human traitor Lei Yao.”

The frontline teams on the southern battlefield heard the command and rushed forward to attack Lei Yao.

“So what if he’s Level 40? We’ve fought such foes before. Brothers, let’s go!” Sen Qiang spurred his heavily armored war horse, which stomped the ground and charged toward Lei Yao.

Other frontline team members followed in the charge.

Lei Yao did not even turn his head, continuing to swing his sword forward.

Water-Calling Sword Style: Sever Reality.

Kamiyu was not idle either. While waiting for the cooldown time of her Headshot Skill, she carefully observed Lei Yao’s wind-up habits.

“Captain, danger! Jump off your horse now!” Deputy Captain and Spirit Priest Debe sensed immense danger ahead.

“Everyone, jump off your horses!” Debe shouted while turning back, leaping from his war horse.

The eerie sword technique that tore through space appeared once more. A black sword energy dozens of meters long sliced through space again, horizontally cutting toward the frontline troops.

With a “swish,”

the black sword energy felled all the troops charging at the front.

The war horses were all horizontally sliced in half by the sword energy, spilling entrails and blood across the ground.

The more than two hundred people behind tripped over the fallen comrades and horse corpses, plunging into chaos.

“Cutting down a hundred men from their horses with a single sword strike—what kind of power is this? It’s even more formidable than the full-force attacks of the Level 40 Boss Creatures we’ve fought before,” one team member trembled.

“Most importantly, that traitor Lei Yao’s attacks are unpredictable,” another team member analyzed.

“His weapon can ignore distance—it’s a long-range weapon,” a third team member widened his eyes in shock.

“Damn it!” Another team member, seeing the corpses strewn across the ground, felt deep despair and angrily pounded the earth.

Lei Yao noticed the Experience Points were insufficient and glanced back, realizing only the first dozen or so had died. He muttered to himself, “Is the damage of this weapon inadequate?”

Lei Yao shook his head. “No, it’s not about insufficient damage. They’re wearing armor, and it’s not low-level armor either.”

It was no joke—the frontline team members wore armor personally crafted by Kamiyu, with max rolls and full attributes. Even if it was Common Tier, its Defense Power rivaled that of Legendary Tier.

Debe scrambled up from the ground and hastily gulped down several Minor Health Potions to heal HP.

Debe thought to himself, the black sword energy just now was too perilous—too fast, with angles too tricky and bizarre. If not for his battlefield radar Passive Skill, even more would have died.

Kamiyu discerned Lei Yao’s wind-up movements. Every time Lei Yao used the Doombringer’s Active Skill 【Water-Calling Sword Style: Sever Reality】, his right hand would inevitably rise.

This wasn’t a simple raise—the angle of his two raises correlated with the angle at which the sword energy appeared.

Kamiyu thought confidently, even if the Doombringer is a Demon King’s exclusive weapon, it remains a Dark Gold Weapon.

As long as it’s a weapon, it has Durability. Once this weapon’s Durability is depleted, no matter how powerful your Space Slash or Dimensional Slash may be, I’ll shatter it all.

Kamiyu aimed her gun at Lei Yao and quickly pulled the bolt.

Load: Magic Bullet (Triple Attributes), Thunderstorm Bullet.

Select Mode: Frenzied Lightning Arrow.

Stack: Armor-Piercing Bullet.

Kamiyu pulled the trigger.

3x Attack Power Headshot Strike, Super-Phase Energy Cannon.

54 times the base Attack Power, further multiplied by the 7x effect of the Dark Gold Staff Chaos Voice.

However.

At the most critical moment, Kamiyu chose to brake, adjusting the firing mode of the Sound of Chaos to a 7x effect duration instead of firing 7 Phase Energy Cannons.

The charging sound of “Zzzzzzz~”,

Followed by the firing sound of “Tzz~”.

A white-outlined, red-centered energy beam shot toward the Doombringer in Lei Yao’s hand.
