Chapitre 97: Chapter 96: The Utter Defeat of Infinite Guild—The First Member Joins the Heavens Hall Guild
Zhang Yue's explosive attacks shocked everyone in the hall.
Seeing a dozen of his members taken out in seconds, Infinite Sword Saint's face turned livid with rage. "Kill him!"
The remaining eighty-plus players from the Infinite Guild charged at Zhang Yue.
Once his cooldowns reset, Zhang Yue activated Shadow Shift, teleporting from the grand hall to the ground below. Then, like walking a group of unruly dogs, he led the Infinite players on a wild chase across the map.
The key point? None of them, not even the assassins, could catch him.
"What the hell? Is this guy really a Beastmaster? Since when do Beastmasters run this fast? Did he stack boots or something?"
"Damn! He must've dumped all his points into Agility."
Who could've expected Zhang Yue, a supposedly squishy Beastmaster, to have an outrageous 188 Agility?
While sprinting, he would occasionally turn back, cast a couple of skills, and take out two more players. Then he'd keep running, endlessly kiting the Infinite Guild. [T/N: Kiting means manipulating something meticulously like using a rope to manipulate a kite]
This time, Infinite Guild's members wised up. Whenever a teammate fell, they immediately picked up the dropped gear.
Meanwhile, two assassins activated Stealth and flanked him, planning an ambush. What they didn't know was that their movements were already laid bare to Zhang Yue.
Before he could act, however, a figure burst out from the side.
Shhhk! Shhhk!
A blazing spear pierced through both assassins, knocking them to the ground.
Zhang Yue glanced over. It was Wu Haotian.
"Are you crazy?" Zhang Yue asked.
Standing shoulder to shoulder with him, Wu Haotian's gaze burned as he stared down the Infinite players. "I don't like owing people."
Infinite Sword Saint scoffed from the opposing side. "You treacherous bastard. The gear on your back belongs to us. Time to hand it over."
Wu Haotian sneered. "Let's see if you've got the skill to take it."
With that, he planted his spear firmly on the ground. A surge of energy radiated from him, commanding attention.
Zhang Yue summoned the Dark Skeleton King to aid them, since his Doom Black Dragon was still too low level for real combat. Together, they formed a defensive line, preventing the Infinite Guild from reaching Zhang Yue.
Shadow Sword Array!
Infinite Taunt!
Flame Shield!
Incarnate of Fire!
Both unleashed their strongest defensive skills, holding off the initial wave.
As a rare-tier Flame Knight, Wu Haotian's defenses even surpassed the Skeleton King's.
Thanks to their impenetrable frontline, Zhang Yue began his barrage from the rear.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
In a flash, four more enemies were down.
But even the best defense has its limits. Just as the frontline was about to be breached, reinforcements arrived.
From every direction, players charged in.
"What the hell? They're here too?"
The Infinite Guild members stared in shock as players from three major guilds entered the fray.
Leading the Supreme Guild's two hundred players, their elite Sword and Shield Warrior, Liu Yao, grinned. "Surprised to see us?"
To the left, Lin Tian led the War God Guild.
"All units, Assemble!"
And from behind, Su Jinyan of Misty Rain Pavilion rallied her troops.
"Prioritize supporting Zhang Yue. Engage and distract the enemy."
At her command, the three guilds, totaling over five hundred players, charged at Infinite from all sides.
The battlefield erupted into chaos. The clash of blades and spells filled the air.
With the support of the three guilds, Zhang Yue had free reign. His relentless attacks, combined with the coordinated assault, decimated the Infinite Guild.
Their hundred-man team was reduced to fewer than fifty. The survivors fled in panic.
Liu Yao raised his sword, taunting them. "Come on! Don't run if you've got guts."
The ground was littered with gold-tier gear, sparking excitement among the victors.
After clearing the battlefield, they tallied their loot: 25 pieces of gold equipment and roughly 20 gold coins.
As previously agreed, Zhang Yue took 40%—10 pieces of gear and 8 coins. The rest was split among the three guilds.
Counting his share, Liu Yao chuckled. "Easiest payday ever, a cool hundred grand."
A member of the War God Guild sighed. "Who'd have thought the once-wealthy young master of the Liu family would be scrapping for cash now…"
Su Jinyan immediately approached Zhang Yue, her eyes filled with concern. "Are you okay?"
"Relax. They can't kill me," Zhang Yue replied. "But without you guys, a counterattack would've been tricky."
Su Jinyan nodded. "Good."
Off to the side, Wu Haotian watched the exchange, his eyes dimming. With a heavy heart, he turned to leave.
"Hey," a voice called out behind him.
"Word is, Infinite kicked you out?"
Wu Haotian turned, finding Zhang Yue standing there. "If you're here to mock me, save it."
Zhang Yue smirked. "Interested in joining my guild?"
Wu Haotian's eyes flickered with a mix of emotions. After a pause, he asked, "What's the pay?"
"Ten grand a month, but you handle your own meals and housing. We don't have a guild base yet."
Recalling his recent hardships, Wu Haotian clenched his jaw. "Deal!"
"Uh… but can I get an advance? I'm broke…"
Su Jinyan chuckled. "Did you blow all your cash on that dinner?"
Wu Haotian's face turned red. He wished he could vanish.
Zhang Yue laughed. "Fine, three grand advance."
He created the Heavens Hall group chat and added Wu Haotian.
Wu Haotian: "It's just us?"
Zhang Yue: "Yup, just us."
Wu Haotian: "When did you make this guild?"
Zhang Yue: "This morning."
Wu Haotian: "..."
Wu Haotian: "This isn't some scam guild, right? You're not harvesting organs, are you?"
Zhang Yue: "Your kidneys are worth less than your gear. Perform well, and I might promote you to vice leader."
Wu Haotian: "(Covers face)"
To Zhang Yue, recruiting a rare-tier Flame Knight like Wu Haotian was a jackpot. As a former vice leader of the Infinite Guild, his strength was undeniable. He had even severed ties with Infinite to repay a debt, proving his integrity.
Such a person was worth keeping.
Nearby, Wu Di, hiding in the shadows, clenched his fists in frustration. He had just witnessed Infinite's crushing defeat.
"Damn it! How did that guy get so strong? Even Infinite couldn't beat him…"
He muttered bitterly before preparing to flee.
Whoosh!
Zhang Yue suddenly appeared before him.
Wu Di fell on his backside, panic written all over his face. "H-how did you know I was here?"
"You've been lurking for ten minutes. Think I wouldn't notice?" Zhang Yue grinned, sending shivers down Wu Di's spine.
With two quick basic attacks, Wu Di was dispatched.
"Trash like you doesn't deserve an S-tier skill."
Meanwhile, Infinite Sword Saint regrouped with his battered team at a safe spot.
"What now, Vice Leader? Zero's too strong, especially with those three guilds backing him. We can't even get close."
"If this keeps up, we'll be the ones getting crushed."
Gritting his teeth, Infinite Sword Saint relayed their dire situation to Infinite Guild's leader, Phantom Infinite.
Soon, a reply came. "Withdraw. Stop wasting resources."
"I'll deal with him personally during the Pro League."
"Understood."
Infinite Sword Saint commanded, "Everyone, retreat to Tianlang."
"Yes, sir!"
