Chapter 344 Continuous Operations
As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of red light struck the ground not far away. Then, a figure leaped out of the ground—none other than Bai Xing. At this moment, Bai Xing's black boots had transformed into a pair of red high heels, which controlled his feet, making him tap dance on the ground.
Bai Xing's magical energy suddenly erupted. He used a large amount of magical energy in conjunction with his control-breaking skills to finally dispel the curse of "The Never-Ending Red Shoes" that Sun Keke had placed on him.
【The Never-Ending Red Shoes】is Sun Keke's fairy tale magic, which can curse a target, making them wear red shoes that they cannot take off. The target will dance uncontrollably until they are exhausted or suffer a lot of damage.
However, just as Bai Xing broke free of the curse, Ren Jianhan's sword light struck. Bai Xing's head was severed again, rolling to the ground. Within the Shadow Legion, Bai Xing's eyes snapped open, and he gasped for breath. He never imagined that he would be exposed once more.
"That woman is definitely my nemesis, yes, we're just too incompatible!" Bai Xing muttered to himself, an uncontrollable psychological shadow forming in his heart towards Sun Keke. Due to his insufficient understanding of the elements, he couldn't comprehend how Sun Keke had done it, and could only comfort himself by believing that Sun Keke had been specially cultivated to restrain him. "Looks like my intelligence is starting to leak. Damn spy."
After cursing the spy, Shirahoshi felt a little better, though she was just trying to convince herself otherwise.
He glanced at Sun Keke with lingering fear, then turned his gaze to the other battlefields. Since that woman had restrained him, he decided not to provoke her. There were still so many people to kill on the battlefield; he could simply wipe out the others and then overwhelm that woman with sheer numbers.
On the battlefield, the Shadow Legion had already lost two elite units, drastically reducing the pressure on the players. The players, who had been suppressed by the Shadow Legion, began to push back the battle line. However, as the battle line expanded, the players' positions became increasingly loose.
Bai Xing locked onto a new target—a healer player on the front lines. He stealthed again, enchanted his weapon, then bypassed the player and, at maximum range, threw his dagger at the healer.
Shadow Carnage
A dagger flashed across the healer's chest, shattering his heart and leaving a gaping hole. A green light instantly enveloped the player, and then several mechanical dogs carried him away towards the train.
"First one!" Bai Xing's chilling voice seemed to come from all directions, trying to put pressure on the players. "Guess who's next?"
Bai Xing believed that player was doomed. The combination of a shattered heart and the curse of aging would cause that player's body to age to its extreme, leading to organ failure and being afflicted by the curse. Even a peak silver-level monster with extremely tenacious vitality would not be able to survive such injuries.
Next, Bai Xing looked at another mage player. The same move was used; this time, a peak Black Iron-level Guardian player raised their shield to block the dagger. However, the dagger pierced the shield and embedded itself in the mage player's chest. The Curse of Aging instantly transformed this player from an 18-year-old boy into a white-haired old man.
"Hahahaha!" Bai Xing laughed heartily. [It's back! Everything's back! This is the normal rhythm of battle! Without that strange golden apple and red dancing shoes, everything is back on track!]
Having lost two players in quick succession, the players once again tightened their defenses. Sun Keke's double control had made them underestimate Bai Xing, but these two assassinations had served as a wake-up call. After all, they were facing a peak Silver-level player; even if it was a stat-based build, the attribute points and advanced skills were substantial.
The battle lines contracted again, and the cannons of the war fortresses behind them were overheating from the fire. Shells rained down on the Shadow Legion, barely managing to suppress the endless horde.
Bai Xing circled around but found no opportunity. Sun Keke was in the center, and he looked at the black ball in her hand, feeling wary and not daring to use any more aggressive tactics.
"However, this will work too. With the endless Shadow Legion, I will be able to kill them sooner or later." Bai Xing looked at the cannon's trajectory, which was slightly unstable, and felt reassured.
At the same moment, Su Li breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come on." Su Li opened his palm, and a crimson lightsaber condensed in his hand. Then, he swung the lightsaber towards the sky: "The sun descends here!"
A crimson beam of light shot upwards into the sky, exploding instantly. Then, a crimson sun appeared in the center of the battlefield.
"What is that?" Bai Xing stared in disbelief at the sun in the sky. The warmth and the scattered solar magic energy—there was no doubt that this thing was real, not an illusion.
Outside, many residents suddenly noticed that the sun in the sky had dimmed several degrees. They looked up at the sky and began to discuss it amongst themselves.
"The government suddenly declared martial law and even announced that the Radiant Emperor would be adjusting the sun. It's too much of a coincidence. Could something big be about to happen?"
"I don't know, but hopefully everything will be alright."
"I feel like I'm going to die!" Gino exclaimed, sweating profusely inside the train. "Hey, don't stop the treatment!"
“Don’t worry, big boss.” One of the healing players looked at the screen in front of Gino in amazement. “Truly powerful.”
In front of Gino was a screen displaying the image of the Radiant One, with a line of smaller text below:
[Employment Contract Established]
[Renting the Power of the Sun of the Radiant Venerable]
【Hourly wage xxxx】
Below him was a number that shrank like a waterfall. Watching his number disappear, Gino closed his eyes in heartache. That was all his money, even if it was virtual currency; it still pained him to see it disappear!
The appearance of the crimson sun in the sky instantly changed the atmosphere of the entire battlefield. Warm sunlight bathed the earth, dispelling the previous darkness and oppression. The black mist surrounding the white stars gradually dissipated under the sunlight, revealing the shadow legions that had been hidden in the shadows to the players.
The buff that the black mist brought to the Shadow Legion had been suppressed to the extreme. The players instantly felt their pressure decrease dramatically.
"What...what the hell is this?!" Bai Xing looked up at the sky, a flicker of panic in his eyes. He had never imagined that Su Li and the others could summon a real sun. The sunlight not only weakened his shadow power but also made his stealth and assassination extremely difficult.
The white figure leaped into the shadow space, dodging a large number of magical attacks.
He leaped out from behind a summoned creature of the Shadow Legion, his face grim. Not only was he unable to become invisible, but his Shadow Leap was also weakened. His shadow power was dispelled, and his shadows had become fewer, greatly increasing the difficulty and cost of his jumps.
