Chapter 1158: Double Strong Retreat

Qiancheng Gongzi took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and deliberately suppressed the various anger in his heart.

"Charge! Charge! Annihilate them all!!"

Qiancheng Gongzi kept issuing commands in his Command Channel, almost shouting.

What if we retreat?

Right now, they have fewer than 200 people in total, and they have no terrain advantage.

Meanwhile, we have about 18,000 people on our side!

He couldn't believe it; at this stage, even with over 10,000 of us, we still can't wipe out those fewer than 200!

Consequently, the people on Qiancheng Muxue's side surged forward like a massive swarm toward Su Sheng.

Over 18,000 people, although not all melee, still had roughly 10,000 melee fighters.

A wave of such a massive crowd charging forward—honestly, saying there's no pressure would be false.

After all, at this moment, only Su Sheng is standing at the front of the Yanhuang formation.

There's nothing to do; all the front‑line melee players on this side have already died.

Only a little over 100 rear‑line players are trembling, and against a charge of tens of thousands, it feels like a mountain‑like, sea‑like pressure bearing down.

But Su Sheng alone stands at the front, holding his shield, unmoving!

From far behind, Qiancheng Gongzi couldn't help but get excited.

Because the visual impact of this scene was just too intense.

Qiancheng Muxue, this charge of tens of thousands looks like a towering wave that overwhelms like a mountain of water.

And the players left on the Yanhuang side, just over 100, are like a lone boat in a vast ocean, ready to be swallowed by the towering wave before them at any moment.

And that's not all!

Further back on Qiancheng Muxue's side, a large group of ranged players immediately launched attacks, a dense barrage covering everything like a mountain‑like, sea‑like onslaught.

This makes the sense of pressure even more overwhelming.

"Ha ha, that's how it should be!!" Qiancheng Gongzi was ecstatic; earlier when Su Sheng broke into the center of their formation, they couldn't showcase their numerical advantage at all.

But now, as both sides clash head‑on, the advantage in numbers becomes evident.

Even Mo Wen Qiancheng, no matter how powerful, absolutely cannot block the onslaught and focus fire of so many people!

In the current situation, the other members of Qiancheng Muxue serve as human shields for him.

A serious expression appears on Su Sheng's face; it is indeed tricky—although he wants to retreat, the other side's over 10,000 people won't let him leave.

But he came to support; if he leaves, then Lu Zhe and Feng Wu Jiu Tian, along with the remaining over 100 Yanhuang members, would be completely wiped out.

They can't even die; although he has Survival Tactics, when he triggers his Survival State, they would probably just push straight through.

At least, the Demon Spirit body can't be used for now; Lion King Stance is fine, its 5‑second invincibility, and he can still boost his status.

But the Demon Spirit body's invincibility, though lasting a minute, can't stop anyone.

So!

We must block!

Considering this, Su Sheng adjusted the activation order of his Survival Skills, placing Lion King Stance first, then, instead of retreating, he advanced.

Riding a suanni, holding his shield, he slowly advanced forward.

At the same time, he activated every buff he could on his body.

Among them, the suanni's Fireworks Blessing is the biggest Shield Skill.

After thinking it over, Su Sheng gritted his teeth and then activated the next skill.

Devil's Blessing!

Sacrificing 30% of the current level's experience grants a shield equal to his maximum HP. The cost is enough for the devil to temporarily bless you!

This is the six‑colored ring Su Sheng holds, the Devil's Pact skill!

This is also, so far, Su Sheng's first time using that ring's active skill!

There's no choice; after all, all the ring's skills cost experience, and the last one even costs a level.

And at this stage, leveling up is not easy.

If not forced, he really doesn't want to use the ring's skill.

Seeing his hard‑won experience bar near level 83 being slashed heavily, Su Sheng felt quite pained.

Nevertheless, although 30% experience is not a small loss, at this stage, if it can preserve the levels of the over 100 people behind him, it's worth it.

After all, the National War stage is imminent, and it's unclear how its mode will be arranged.

Moreover, most of those 100+ rear players are Priests; if they lose a level, catching up would take another segment of time.

All else aside, if they can quickly reach level 80, then having over 100 extra Priests with Resurrection on the Domestic Server battlefield would be a massive advantage.

As Su Sheng's skill activated, a six‑colored rhombus shield surrounded him.

Su Sheng's health bar was also covered by a thick shield value!

This skill effectively doubled his HP!

Su Sheng's current HP, boosted by Feng Wu Jiu Tian's buff, is over 200,000, approaching 300,000.

Add the suanni's Fireworks Blessing Shield.

Including shield value and his own HP, Su Sheng's total health is near 600,000!

Plus his own resistance, he also has damage immunity!

Being already far from the rear line, Su Sheng instantly activated Defensive Stance in place.

Defensive Stance grants 30% frontal damage immunity, plus a passive 20% immunity from his greaves.

As long as it's frontal, Su Sheng's damage immunity reaches 50%.

50% front damage reduction, plus up to over 600,000 defense, and also its own terrifying dual resistance attribute.

Su Sheng didn't believe he couldn't withstand it.

"Holy Words! Blessing!"

"Holy Words! Iron Wall!"

At the same time, two more Buffs fell down. Su Sheng, however, showed a look of surprise.

Both of these are temporary Buffs; Blessing gives himself a shield worth 50% of his HP, but this shield lasts only 10 seconds and decreases over time.

The other Iron Wall lets him, while stationary, increase front damage taken resistance by another 10%.

Adding it up, plus his own damage reduction, front damage reduction reaches over 60%!

Su Sheng became even more full of confidence!

He raised his head to look at the incoming attack bombarding from ahead, and instead of dodging, he simply stood firm, a faint smile curling his lips.

Boom!

Crackle—!

First to arrive was the focused fire from the rear-rank ranged players of Qiancheng Muxue.

One after another, attacks kept falling on Su Sheng's body.

But this left everyone stunned; dense damage numbers popped up, the vast majority being single-digit forced damage, occasionally a double-digit damage would appear, and triple-digit damage was exceedingly rare.

Among them, only a few were four-digit damage.

Qiancheng Gongzi's side was left dumbfounded.

He knew Su Sheng was abnormal, but this is too abnormal, right?

What exactly is that colorful diamond-shaped light shield?

After a round of focused fire, Su Sheng's shield hadn't been depleted.

After all, the shield value from stacking is simply too terrifying!

At this time and that time, the front-charging players also arrived.

They all swarmed and slammed into Su Sheng's body, directly burying him completely.

But Su Sheng stood completely unmoving, like a reef in a raging torrent, not budging an inch.

With the Colossus effect active, the difficulty of repelling or launching Su Sheng into the air is not ordinary high.

He withstood it!

One against ten thousand! To be precise, one against eighteen thousand.

Of course, the priests behind him weren't stupid either; various healing techniques kept pouring onto Su Sheng.

He didn't die!

Seeing Su Sheng not dead, Qiancheng Gongzi's eyes nearly burst, he widened his eyes and stared fixedly at Su Sheng!!

"Kill him! Quickly kill him! With so many of you, you still can't kill one person?"

Qiancheng Gongzi roared.

Meanwhile, off to the side, Du Xue watched this scene before her eyes, watching the man standing firm in the flood, and also watching the man raging impotently.

The expression in her eyes grew complex once again.

The gap is too great!

Moreover, that guy simply didn't dare stand before Su Sheng; although as the chairman of Qiancheng Muxue he still had a couple of tricks, and he himself was once one of the Hall of Honor players.

But even Qiancheng Lihualuo, a pillar of Qiancheng Muxue, couldn't last long against Su Sheng.

Furthermore, he was a waste who barely scraped into the Hall of Honor.

Moreover, looking at Qiancheng Gongzi's current state, he has completely lost his mind, jealousy burning away all his reason!

"Die, die! Go die for me! Why won't you die?!"

Looking at Su Sheng still standing firm, Qiancheng Gongzi howled like a madman.

But as he howled, his whole figure flickered and vanished.

He was kicked offline!

His emotions were too agitated, triggering the game equipment's protection mechanism, which directly kicked his game character offline.

Seeing this, Du Xue couldn't help but twitch at the corner of her eye—how many times has this happened?!

Almost every time, almost every time being kicked offline seems to be because of facing Yan Huang, facing Su Sheng, right? It really is...

Ah!

Du Xue sighed, but this time she had no intention of going offline to soothe; instead, she naturally took over Qiancheng Muxue's command.

Killing that man is unlikely now; anyway, we've already charged over, so let our forces clear out those 100+ Yan Huang priest players on this side.

But just as Du Xue was about to issue the order, her expression suddenly shifted slightly.

Then her whole person also disappeared from the game.

Forced offline!

However, unlike Qiancheng Gongzi's forced offline, his was due to emotional agitation causing the game to kick him out.

While Du Xue's forced offline was due to external interference forcibly disrupting and cutting the game link!

And after both Du Xue and Qiancheng Gongzi were forced offline.

Suddenly, shouts of killing came from the side.

"Kill! Ahhh!!"

"Kill!!"

Lin Huan, standing atop the ice wall, heard the sound, instantly showed delight, turned his head to look, and indeed, thick smoke billowed from the side as a large force charged forward.

Those are the Yan Huang people!

Yanhuang's War Knight!

The few at the front were the unknown alias of the Team Leader (Yanhuang) Solo Player, plus Shadow Dragon's thousand-thousand mushroom, and Nightcoming Big Bear Chui Ge also appeared conspicuously.

They were all War Knights, charging forward with the Yanhuang War Knight Corps.

The first batch of War Knights were the 500 Kuang Shi Knight Corps riding lions; behind them were the other Yanhuang War Knights riding various mismatched mounts.

Although their numbers were not as many as Qiancheng Muxue's side now, their momentum was like a rainbow, unstoppable!

Moreover, the arrival of reinforcements had a deeper meaning; they were not fighting alone!

It also meant that support from the rear would arrive soon.

Furthermore, on the Qiancheng Muxue side, Qiancheng Gongzi and Du Xue had both been kicked out of the game.

Qiancheng Lihualuo was also sent back to the city for free by Su Sheng.

At this moment, Qiancheng Muxue was completely leaderless, like a dragon without a head.

As soon as the Yanhuang side's personnel appeared, the Qiancheng Muxue side's personnel themselves began to riot.

Su Sheng would naturally not miss this opportunity.

He directly dropped the Defensive Stance.

Roar!!

The lion-like beast suddenly raised its head and roared!

Dragon Might Roar!

In an instant, the surrounding Qiancheng Muxue players were all dazed.

Immediately after, the lion-like beast's size suddenly swelled.

Divine Beast Trample!

Hakimi reappeared!

Swish swish swish was three paw swipes!

Combined with the previous Dragon Might Roar group damage effect, it directly cleared a small area around.

"Freeze them!"

At the same time, Lin Huan, standing on the ice wall, was not idle, commanding the frost dragon to continuously spew Dragon Breath to slow them down!

His own bow was almost drawing afterimages, as elemental arrows kept raining down.

Lu Zhe, holding Heavenly Cluster Cloud, also rushed up; behind him stood so many priests, and as a heavy infantry unit, he should be hard to kill for these low-morale Qiancheng Muxue players.

"Chairman, we're here!!"

"Kill!!"

The flank Yanhuang War Knight Corps had already charged to the front of Qiancheng Muxue.

The War Knight's charge itself is not easy to block; with a speed boost, a War Knight in charge state has the highest burst.

Furthermore, one side's morale was like a rainbow, while the other's morale plummeted.

Just one contact!

Under the leadership of the unknown alias, the thousand-thousand mushroom, and Nightcoming Big Bear, the Yanhuang War Knights were unstoppable.

Like a sharp sword, it ruthlessly split the Qiancheng Muxue side's forces, which had become disordered from the earlier charge, into two.

"Kill!!"

"Counterattack!!"

"Leave none!!"

Su Sheng stood on the head of the giant Hakimi, whose skill had just ended and whose body had not yet shrunk, holding aloft his Divine Artifact spear and roaring.

This time, Su Sheng was truly angry!

From his height, he also saw a large batch of Yanhuang members behind the War Knights rushing over.

This time, since Qiancheng Muxue was not being honest, we'll give them a harsh blow again.

Once again, we wiped out this batch of Qiancheng Muxue members; level drops plus equipment drops would be a huge loss.

If the National War System weren't about to activate, he would definitely bring people to thoroughly seek out Qiancheng Muxue's misfortune.

Really……

……

……

Meanwhile.

Offline!

Du Xue lay in the game cabin, looking at the man with blood-red eyes in front of her, a flicker of contempt flashing in her eyes.

Exactly, she suddenly went offline because Wei Cheng ran over, forcibly cut off his game link, and opened the game cabin to wake her up.

Slap~

Wei Cheng directly slapped over; Du Xue's well-maintained half of her face immediately swelled and reddened.

"You bitch, are you reluctant to strike your old lover?!"
