Slash! Slash! Slash!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Blades flashed while magic lit up the battlefield.
The fighting raged on.
Under the combined assault of Chaotic World, Blood Dance, Ironblood, and Golden Age, Genesis Guild suffered heavy casualties.
Liu Kai was at his wit's end, on the verge of tears.
"What the hell did I even do?"
"Who the hell did I offend?"
"Didn't I just come here to kill some monsters?"
"Why is everyone trying to kill me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, one of his men rushed over to report.
"Brother Kai, two more guilds just showed up outside..."
"For fuck's sake!"
Liu Kai completely broke down.
"Did I violate some heavenly law or something?"
"Why are so many people coming after me?"
"Stop coming already! We're all dead!"
Just as Liu Kai was falling into despair, his subordinate said, "Brother Kai, these two guilds... don't seem to be here to attack us..."
"They... seem to be here to help us."
"What?", Liu Kai's eyes widened in disbelief.
On the outskirts, just as Genesis Guild was about to be crushed under the siege of Chaotic World, Blood Dance, Ironblood, and Golden Age, Divine Nation and Dragon Soul suddenly entered the battlefield.
Han Ruoxi looked back and saw a large force from Divine Nation and Dragon Soul approaching.
Although she had always regarded Divine Nation as an enemy, remembering that they belonged to the same faction made her feel reassured.
"Genesis was already about to collapse."
"Looks like this is even more secure now."
However, to everyone's surprise... after Divine Nation and Dragon Soul entered the battlefield, their target was not Genesis.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as the four guilds were attacking Genesis together, wave after wave of arrows suddenly rained down from behind, landing in the middle of the crowd.
Not only Genesis, but also Chaotic World, Blood Dance, Ironblood, and Golden Age, all five guilds took heavy damage.
After several rounds of arrow volleys, at least a hundred players from the five guilds were killed across a wide area.
Hundreds of white beams shot into the sky.
Seeing this, players from the four attacking guilds turned around in disbelief toward the ones attacking them, the advancing armies of Divine Nation and Dragon Soul!
At the front of Divine Nation, Guild Master Ming Yuexin looked coldly at everyone ahead.
"You have ten seconds. If you don't want to die, leave now while you still can."
The players ahead looked at one another.
An Ironblood player said, "Isn't Divine Nation Rulebound's guild? Didn't Rulebound fight alongside us in the Divine Tomb last time? What's this supposed to mean?"
A Golden Age player said, "So we're not on the same side anymore? Is Divine Nation trying to take the Dark Underground City for themselves and turning on us?"
A Blood Dance player said, "I knew the people from Divine Nation were up to no good! When they need you, you're friends. When they don't, you're enemies! What an ugly bunch!"
Wang Junjie shouted, "Divine Nation! Fuck your mther!"
Seeing that none of the five guilds moved, Ming Yuexin silently waited ten seconds.
Then, Su Muqiu, vice guild master of Dragon Soul, still hesitated as she asked Ming Yuexin, "President Ling, Chaotic World Guild is on good terms with Rulebound now. Are we really attacking Chaotic World?"
Ming Yuexin's gaze remained icy as she gave the order.
"Anyone who refuses to leave, kill them."
"Kill!"
Amid overwhelming battle cries, the players of Divine Nation charged forward.
This time, Ming Yuexin had even summoned all of Divine Nation's hidden members.
Every player in the guild, more than ten thousand in total, had arrived.
Their momentum was overwhelming.
Seeing that Divine Nation had ignored the warning and launched the attack, Su Muqiu looked toward Dragon Soul Aoshi.
"Boss, are we fighting?"
Dragon Soul Aoshi sighed softly, "We fight."
The helplessness in his eyes was obvious.
After all, in reality, their Aoshi Group depended on Ling Xue's investment to survive.
Faced with an order from the company's biggest investor, Dragon Soul Aoshi had no confidence to refuse.
So, with Dragon Soul Aoshi's command, Dragon Soul's players charged alongside Divine Nation.
On the battlefield, Genesis, which had originally been the enemy, suddenly found itself fighting alongside Chaotic World and the others.
The original four-versus-one battle became five versus two.
Chaotic World, Genesis, Ironblood, Golden Age, and Blood Dance, against Divine Nation and Dragon Soul.
The five-guild alliance had tremendous momentum.
But the two opposing guilds were no weaker.
The moment the two sides collided, another fierce battle erupted.
As the saying goes, those inside the situation can't see clearly, while those watching from the outside can.
The players from Chaotic World, Blood Dance, and even Genesis couldn't understand why Divine Nation had suddenly attacked them.
Nether, however, understood the situation at a glance.
He couldn't help but marvel inwardly once again.
"They can even mobilize Divine Nation."
"Boss... who exactly are you?"
The moment he realized this was the Boss's doing, another thought crossed his mind.
"The people from Divine Nation probably don't know tonight's operation has anything to do with Rulebound, do they?"
Ji Ningshuang replied casually, "They don't even know the two of us are here."
Looking at the chaotic battle outside the underground city's entrance, where seven guilds were fighting one another, Ji Ningshuang continued,
"What are you waiting for?"
"This is our best chance to get into the underground city."
"Let's go. Stay with me."
With that, she gripped her daggers and charged into the crowd.
Whoever she saw, she killed.
With Ji Ningshuang's indiscriminate attacks and Nether's dozen Skeleton Warriors sweeping the way, the two quickly fought their way to the city gate.
[Ding~ You meet the rank requirement for the Dark Underground City. Enter the Dark Underground City?]
———
[Inferno City]
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three beams of white light descended.
Lin Mo, Ning Xi, and Zhao Lingyun logged in at the same time.
Until now, their accounts had been under AI control.
The moment Lin Mo logged in, he immediately took control of his clone.
By sheer coincidence, through the clone's shared vision, he saw Nether and Frost Dance entering the Dark Underground City.
"They've gone in."
As soon as Lin Mo spoke, Ning Xi asked in surprise, "But Nether and that Frost Dance are only Silver Rank III on the ranking list. How did they get into the Dark Underground City, which requires Gold rank?"
"A C-rank Rank Scroll," Lin Mo could think of only one explanation.
If nothing unexpected had happened, the Boss must have obtained it for them.
It wasn't that such items didn't exist.
C-rank Rank Scrolls, and even B-rank and A-rank ones, could be found in every secondary main city.
But at the current stage of the game, obtaining one was extraordinarily difficult.
Even Lin Mo had trouble getting one.
Yet the Boss had so easily secured C-rank Rank Scrolls for Nether and Frost Dance.
The Boss's capabilities kept exceeding Lin Mo's expectations again and again.
Of course, how the Boss had obtained the Rank Scrolls wasn't important.
What mattered was this, "Nether and Frost Dance have already entered the Dark Underground City. Their next target will definitely be Mo Chen."
Zhao Lingyun hurriedly said, "Then let's head to the underground city right now!"
"No."
Lin Mo said in a deep voice, "We do the Arena first."
