Lin Mo knew very well that two fists can't beat four hands.
So protecting these lone players was the key to winning against the Storm Guild with fewer numbers.
"Boss Rulebound is controlled! High Priest, use Purify!"
"The Dark Wizard's ultimate can't be dispelled? Get two assassins to stab that Storm Dark Wizard!"
"Don't let Storm's Light Wizard silence Boss Liuli! Brothers, suppress them with firepower!"
Although these lone players didn't have much strength, their ability to clear obstacles and provide support for Lin Mo and Ning Xi was first-rate.
With their assistance, Lin Mo and Ning Xi, both number one on the Heavenly Rankings and SSS-rank talent users, were unstoppable, killing anything that stood in their way.
The Storm Guild players were forced back again and again under the slaughter, screams echoing nonstop as bursts of white light rose one after another.
The ones still alive looked at Lin Mo with fear in their eyes.
Not a single person dared to step forward again.
"Rulebound and Liuli deal way too much damage. We can't hold them off."
"Damn it! What the hell! Are those two cheating? That Liuli can kill me with just a basic attack! What kind of damage is that?"
"I've spammed reports until my fingers hurt! It's useless! The system says they're not cheating."
At the same time, the group of lone players fighting alongside Lin Mo grew braver with each battle, their morale soaring.
"As expected of the undefeated boss used in the official promos. Boss Rulebound, 666!"
"So strong! I've never seen any player in any game this insane! Not even in private servers."
"To be able to fight side by side with a god like this, even if I got to marry Liu Yifei in this life, I'd have no regrets." [T/N: The actress in Mulan]
Seeing his men being cut down in chaos, Tyrant was furious.
"Bastards!"
"Heaven, Bloodthirst, Martial God, Emperor, why aren't your people here yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion came from all directions of the Inferno Forest.
"Boss! Our reinforcements are here."
"People from the four guilds have arrived."
"Good," A ferocious grin appeared on Tyrant's face, "Rulebound, Liuli, Black Night! Today I want to see just how much you can kill!"
"Without Blood Dance and Chaotic World Guild backing you up, let's see what you'll use to fight against our five guilds today."
At this moment, the four guild leaders arrived and joined up with Tyrant.
The Heaven Guild leader, Holy Knight Heaven Hell, looked at the battle inside the forest and asked, "Are you confident this time? Don't flop like last time."
Tyrant grinned viciously, "Not just confident, completely certain. This time, our opponents are only Rulebound, Liuli, and Black Night!"
Sword-and-shield warrior Emperor General cracked his fists, his gaze fierce, "Good! This time our Emperor Guild will definitely wash away our shame."
The thief Bloodthirsty Dragon wore a greedy expression, "Brother Tyrant, does that Shadow Sword God Black Night really have an S-rank skill book on him?"
Divine Archer Martial God Zhao Zilong said, "These are all top-ranked powerhouses of Inferno City. The resources on people like them, just a little drop is already priceless treasure."
"Once we take them down, we'll split the loot."
"Brothers, kill! Leave no one alive!"
With all five guild leaders issuing commands at once, over five thousand players from the five guilds surged into the Inferno Forest from all directions like a tidal wave.
Faced with a battle of this scale, the mere few hundred lone players in the forest couldn't resist at all and were quickly slaughtered.
In the blink of an eye, only three people remained on the field: Black Night, Lin Mo, and Ning Xi.
Surrounded by the massive army of five guilds, Black Night wasn't surprised by Lin Mo's appearance.
Because [Mo] had already told Black Night that he had resold the skill book to Rulebound for two million. As long as Rulebound came to retrieve it, he just needed to hand it over.
He only felt a bit guilty, "Sorry, I dragged you into this desperate situation."
"It has nothing to do with you," Lin Mo said, "Storm was already our enemy."
"And who's actually in a desperate situation… that's still not certain."
Black Night said, "I'll give you the skill book first, in case it drops. Then I'll use Shadow Sword Puppets to cover your retreat back to the city."
"No need," Lin Mo said, "We'll fight our way out together first."
Judging by the depth of color of Black Night's ID, he had at least no less than five thousand crime points.
If he died, his level would drop straight to zero.
There was no way Lin Mo would let him be crippled.
So even if there was a chance, he wouldn't leave Black Night behind and retreat alone.
He was determined to protect Black Night, this future core member of his guild.
With that in mind, Lin Mo said to Black Night, who was in Concealed Breath state, "Switch to Explosive Breath. Use the Shadow Sword Puppets to hold them off. Liuli and I will cover you."
Black Night was shaken, surprise flashing in his eyes beneath the closed helmet.
"How do you know my class so well?"
Lin Mo didn't have time to explain, "Quick!"
"Alright!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Black Night planted his longsword into the ground.
Clang!
From within his body, streams of Shadow Breath surged out.
In Explosive Breath state, those strands of Shadow Breath scattered onto the surrounding ground, transforming into Shadow Sword Puppets, each one at the same level as Black Night, level 53.
Lin Mo's plan was to hold back the five guilds.
He never thought the three of them alone could fight five thousand players.
Because he had already sent a request for help to Dragon Soul Aoshi.
The Dragon Soul Guild was already rushing toward the Inferno Forest at full speed.
As long as they arrived, Lin Mo could coordinate with them and launch a counterattack, wiping out the five guilds in one go.
So Lin Mo and Ning Xi stood guard on either side of Black Night, protecting him.
Meanwhile, outside the perimeter, aside from Storm, players from the other four guilds were seeing such a scene for the first time and were filled with shock.
"What the hell is that? That guy's just a sword-and-shield warrior, how can he summon so many minions?"
"Wait! That guy… he's not a normal class! He's a hidden class, Shadow Sword God."
"Holy shit! First time seeing a hidden class."
"Brothers, kill the summons first, then kill the three of them."
"No!", Tyrant, who knew the Shadow Sword God's class traits, said, "Break through and kill Black Night first! These summons will collapse on their own."
"Just a hundred sword puppets. Let's see how you're going to stop our five guilds' army this time."
"Kill!"
Amid shouts and roars, players from the five guilds launched an attack toward Lin Mo, Ning Xi, and Black Night, who were surrounded and protected by the Shadow Sword Puppets.
At the same time, under Black Night's mental control, the hundred Shadow Sword Puppets formed a defensive formation around the three of them.
Lin Mo and Ning Xi unleashed full firepower, attacking the players from the five guilds who tried to approach, protecting Black Night.
