Chapter 143: The Annihilation of Laughing Coffin

"Kirito, why are you here?" Klein looked at Kirito, who was standing before him, with a face full of surprise and asked in astonishment.

"Didn't you hold a meeting yesterday to crusade against Laughing Coffin? You didn't even notify us of such a thing. If Lingyun hadn't felt that something was fishy about this and had us follow behind you, I'm afraid you all would have been wiped out here!" Kirito gripped his dual swords and said irritably.

"Uh, this matter is my fault! But it's thanks to you all coming this time, otherwise we really would have been in danger!" Klein scratched the back of his head, feeling a bit embarrassed. "But, Kirito, why are you able to equip two weapons?"

"You still have the heart to care about this now? You'd better think carefully about how to get through this current crisis; these Red Players are not simple!" Kirito rolled his eyes at him.

"God Squad, Black and White Sword Envoy?" Seeing the people who had suddenly appeared on the scene, POH's expression also turned ugly. If there was anyone he least wanted to face right now, Lingyun's group was undoubtedly at the top of the list!

"Hahahaha, God Squad and Black and White Sword Envoy, is it? Let me see just how much you are really worth!" One of the Laughing Coffin players laughed wildly, the long blade in his hand flashing with a grayish-white light as he slashed toward the person in front of him.

"Just a bunch of rats in the dark, and you dare to be arrogant in front of me?" Busujima Saeko sneered, and an incomparably sharp Drawing Sword Slash swept out from her Samurai Sword, slamming heavily onto the opponent's long blade.

"How can this be?" Looking at the long blade broken into two pieces, the player was filled with horror. He had never imagined that anyone could cut his weapon in two with a single strike, not even their Commander, POH.

"In this world, there is no such thing as impossible!" Busujima Saeko sneered, waving the Samurai Sword in her hand, leaving a huge wound on his body and whittling that person's health bar down to yellow.

"Do you think I would die at the hands of a woman?" The player looked at Busujima Saeko, a trace of madness already appearing in his eyes.

"Dying at the hands of a woman—that, I wouldn't know!" Busujima Saeko spread her hands.

Just as Busujima Saeko spoke, the attacks from several Clearers behind her landed on him, completely depleting his remaining health. The Red Player's expression froze, and then he turned into fragments and disappeared.

Busujima Saeko's case was just one example. After Lingyun and the others arrived and removed the paralysis status from the Clearers present, the battle situation had already begun to develop in another direction. Although the individual strength of the Laughing Coffin players was not weak, they were facing a siege by Clearers that outnumbered them several times over. While they barely managed to hold the situation, they began to fall into a disadvantageous position.

"Kuradeel, you have truly disappointed me!" Asuna looked at Kuradeel, who was half-kneeling on the ground in front of her, and said, "Although Lingyun had already suspected that there was a mole from Laughing Coffin among the Clearers, I never imagined it would be you!"

"Hehehe, how could a high-and-mighty Vice Commander like you know my thoughts?" A strange smile curled on Kuradeel's face, and then he suddenly lunged at Asuna, "However, being able to take a great beauty like the Vice Commander with me to the grave, it's not a loss!"

Kuradeel's long sword was extremely sharp, carrying a grayish-white light, and judging by his surging momentum, it was clear he had activated Limit Break. With these layers of stacking, the power of this strike had become extremely strong. Coupled with the fact that it was a weak-point attack aimed directly at her face, at least in Kuradeel's estimation, there was no problem with depleting Asuna's health to zero in one hit.

"You really underestimate me too much!" Watching the long sword flying rapidly toward her face, Asuna sighed slightly.

If it were in the past, Asuna would truly have been helpless against this move, but the current Asuna was no longer comparable to the Asuna of the past. Asuna's rapier swung violently, slamming heavily against the blade of the great sword.

Kuradeel only felt an extremely massive force slam into his great sword, forcing the great sword to change its trajectory. At the same time, Asuna had already lunged to his side and punched him heavily in the abdomen.

"Puh-wah!" Kuradeel let out a strange cry, his body flying backward and landing heavily on the ground.

Just as he tried to crawl up, several different weapons had already slammed heavily into his body. Kuradeel's own health was already low, and under such attacks, his health bar was cleared directly, and he turned into fragments and disappeared. Until his death, he could not believe that he would die in this world.

Watching Kuradeel's death, Asuna also sighed slightly in her heart, then looked toward the direction of the others.

Because the number of people was far greater than the Laughing Coffin players, the Clearers spontaneously formed small squads of several people, with one squad besieging one Red Player. Fortunately, the open space in this cavern was not small, enough for hundreds of people to conduct a large-scale battle. Under the siege of multiple Clearers, even though the members of Laughing Coffin had decent strength, they gradually fell into a losing position.

"Damn God Squad, I never thought they would bring us such big trouble. If I had known earlier, I should have made you the first priority to eliminate!" POH looked at the Laughing Coffin members who had fallen into a predicament and gritted his teeth in his heart.

Many Red Players had been forced to use Limit Break, but the Clearers besieging them also possessed Limit Break. In this situation, even with the blessing of the power of the Underworld King of the End, they had no way to gain much of an advantage.

A scream came, and one of the Red Players had already been killed. Conversely, because the Clearers could switch with each other and use crystals to restore their health after retreating, the battle situation had fallen into the most disadvantageous state for Laughing Coffin.

"Die for me, Limit Break!" POH suddenly roared, and powerful energy spread from his body, with grayish-white air currents lingering on his kitchen knife.

POH swung his kitchen knife, launching ultra-fast slashes at the three Clearers besieging him, and in just a few seconds, he slashed their health all the way into the red zone.

Watching the kitchen knife in POH's hand constantly approaching them, the three Clearers besieging him could not help but turn pale. Just as POH's kitchen knife was about to strike the three players, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. The long sword in their hand danced, transforming into a sheet of red clouds, blocking all of POH's attacks.

"Who is it?" POH's expression changed slightly. This skill of his was the strongest skill he had obtained from the Underworld King of the End. He had once used this move to attack a BOSS, and as a result, he had slashed away more than a quarter of that BOSS's health in one go. He never expected it to be completely blocked by someone today.

"It's you?" Seeing the person who appeared in front of him, POH's expression changed slightly, "How could you block my attack?"

"Is blocking your attack such an incredible thing?" Looking at POH in front of her, Luo Yexi said disdainfully. The current Luo Yexi had already activated Limit Break, and golden-red light was constantly flickering on her body.

"Damn it, are the guys from the God Squad all this strong? No, I can't die here. I still have so many plans to complete. If I really die here, everything will be for nothing!" Looking at Luo Yexi, who was shrouded in golden-red light, POH's expression was very ugly. "It's just a Laughing Coffin; as long as I am here, Laughing Coffin will not disappear. You just wait for my infinite revenge!"

Thinking of this, POH's hand swung violently, and a cloud of powder scattered from his hand, obscuring his figure. Luo Yexi's expression changed slightly, and the long sword in her hand swirled, whipping up a gust of wind that blew all the powder away, but POH had already lost his trace.

"Ran away?" Luo Yexi looked at the empty space in front of her, her brows slightly furrowed, "Forget it, he can't escape anyway. Let's finish off the guys here first!"

As time passed, the battle situation had been completely controlled, and the annihilation of Laughing Coffin had become a foregone conclusion. When the last Laughing Coffin player threw down the weapon in his hand to signal his surrender, the Clearers present could not help but cheer.

Although this battle did not last very long, it was the most arduous battle the Clearers had ever experienced. In this battle, the Clearers lost more than 40 players. However, they killed a total of more than 50 Laughing Coffin players and captured more than 30 people. It can be said that, except for the escape of Commander POH, the Red Player Guild known for committing countless sins in this world, Laughing Coffin, had been completely annihilated.
