We have two level‑70s, a pile of level‑60s, and with all these capable hands, us brothers could almost launch a victorious counteroffensive.

Translation: "Two level-seventies, a pile of level-sixties, stacking this many capable hands, us brothers could almost launch a victorious counteroffensive."

But Jiang is ultimately still old and spicy; although Xijueye appears to be the most frenzied killer, he is actually the calmest in the crowd.

Translation: "But Jiang is ultimately still the old and spicy; though it seems the most frenzied killer is Lord Xiguang, he is actually the calmest in the crowd."

Like a withered leaf, he lightly swayed back to our lines, glanced around at the eager Radiant experts, and lowered his voice.

"Don't rush! The townspeople are in their hands; we just need to watch and wait—be careful they don't cause mutual destruction."

Translation: "Don't rush! The townsfolk are in their hands; we can just wait and see, careful they don't pull a mutual destruction!"

Killing is ultimately meant to save people; if possible, the Radiant Duke certainly wouldn't want Xiasia City to suffer any more losses.

Translation: "Killing is ultimately to save people; if possible, Xiguang Duke certainly wouldn't want Qixia City to suffer more losses."

Although he enjoys playing with the wandering dragon, he can also be considered neutral in order, and so is Tiriya naturally.

Translation: "And although he likes to play with the wandering dragon, he can also be considered neutral in order, and Tirya is the same."

He gave a slight nod, about to say something agreeable, but then suddenly furrowed his brow as if remembering something.

Translation: "But he slightly nodded, about to say some agreeing words, when he suddenly frowned as if remembering something."

At the very least, just east of the capital lies that expanse of holy‑light mountains shining day and night, visible to the naked eye—and yet they showed no reaction whatsoever.

Translation: "At the very least, at the very least, on the east side of the Royal Capital, that expanse of Holy Light Mountains shining day and night, visible to the naked eye, actually showed no reaction!"

Let's produce: "No>mistaken edition? this@at)69}book【bar*read}! +6! 9book? bar? first release this novel。-"

Check: we need to ensure we kept the Chinese period 。 before hyphen. Yes.

The mysterious wizard also seemed to have realized this; after a long rest, he suddenly launched another mental attack.

Translation: "And that mysterious wizard seemingly also noticed this; after a long rest, he suddenly launched another mental attack."

So the old fellow naturally has trained in the Vital Breath Cultivation Technique, and he has quietly reached a quite profound level.

Translation: "So the old geezer naturally had practiced the True Qi Body-Nurturing Technique, and in secret he had cultivated to a quite profound level."

"Understood!"

Translation: "Understood!"

They laughed hysterically, almost immediately forming flexible teams and shamelessly playing poker with each other, regardless of gender.

Translation: "They hysterical laughed, almost immediately began flexibly forming groups, shamelessly playing poker with each other, regardless of gender."

"Hmph, trying to escape!"

Translation: "Hmph, trying to escape!"

Let's mute the world and listen to the sound of the defense shattering.

Translation: "Let's set the world to silent and listen to the sound of 'Defend' breaking."

Now at last no one is chanting spells; we only hear a few faint humming‑like sounds, possibly cursing this old guy for being utterly lacking in quality—where did he learn such foul language?

Translation: "Now no one chants spells anymore; we can only hear a few humming-like faint sounds, possibly scolding this old guy for lacking manners—whose foul language did he learn?"

To make matters worse, a leaking roof met with nonstop rain just as the dean, who had abandoned the attack, was about to erect a magic circle to shield everyone.

Translation: "What's worse, when the leaks came with nightlong rain, just as the Headmaster had given up on attacking and was about to set up a formation to envelop everyone."

But they had free time to sit around eating melons and watching the show, laughing, while the lords busy dueling the mysterious wizard quartet from afar were about to burst from pressure.

Translation: "But they had time to chill, eating melons and watching the show laughing, while the Lord Xiguang busy dueling the mysterious wizard quartet remotely was about to burst from pressure."

Because the man who kept laughing nonstop was actually Yangyue's strongest Soft Rice King, the Lionheart Long Princess's Prince Consort, and the Deep Forest Envoy Ambassador Mu Xiting; as for causing his skin to flush red, his face ferocious, as if playing a bullet‑hell game, constantly flinging magic balls in midair, that was actually the Sky Horse Knight Corps Commander Haikemedia; however, this Elf General looked quite dire at the moment: his armor shattered, his sky horse shedding hair, not to mention he was vomiting blood nonstop; he even lacked the ability to land normally, stumbling along with his mount to the point of nearly rolling and falling to the ground.

Let's break:

"Because the one who kept laughing maniacally was actually Yangyue's strongest Soft Rice King, the Lionheart Long Princess's Prince Consort, the Deep Forest Envoy Ambassador Mu Xiting!"

"As for causing his skin to flush red, his face ferocious, as if playing a bullet-hell game, constantly flinging magic balls in midair, that was actually the Sky Horse Knight Corps Commander Haikemedia!"

"However, this Elf General looked quite dire at the moment: his armor shattered, his sky horse shedding hair, not to mention he was vomiting blood nonstop; he even lacked the ability to land normally, stumbling along with his mount to the point of nearly rolling and falling to the ground."

We'll produce a concise translation but keep all info.

Translation: "Because the incessant lunatic was actually Yangyue's strongest Soft Rice King, the Lionheart Long Princess's Prince Consort, and the Deep Forest Envoy Ambassador Mu Xiting! As for making his skin flush red, his face ferocious, as if playing a bullet‑hell game, constantly flinging magic balls in midair—that was the Sky Horse Knight Corps Commander Haikemedia! Yet this Elf General looked dire: armor shattered, sky horse shedding hair, vomiting blood nonstop, unable to land normally, stumbling with his mount to the point of nearly rolling to the ground."

bullet‑hell game

"Old Duke! Use whatever life‑saving thing you have now, or it'll be too late!"

Translation: "Old Duke! Use any life‑saving thing you have now, or it'll be too late!"

At the critical moment, the defenders' only hope rested on the dean, who is also level 70, but…

Translation: "At the critical moment, the defenders' sole hope rested on the Headmaster, also level seventy—but……"

Unfortunately, the situation no longer allows him to treat them, because the prince consort chasing the Sky Team leader has redirected his hatred onto all of them.

Translation: "Too bad the situation no longer allowed him to treat, because the Prince Consort chasing the Sea Corps Commander flying over had shifted his hatred onto everyone."

We'll keep as is.

Even though each evil curse lasts only one or two seconds before the lord interrupts it, after repeating this several times their sanity is still in danger, and they're about to suffer a mental breakdown.

Translation: "Even if each curse lasts only a second or two before Lord Xiguang interrupts it, after so many repetitions their san value is still dire, and they're about to lose their sanity."

"Damn it, why can't I locate their position!"

Translation: "Damn it, why can't I scan their position!"

But for Xijueye, the dean, and some usually upright players, this bit of curse still can't shake their resolve.

Translation: "But for Lord Xiguang, the Headmaster, and some usually upright players, this bit of curse couldn't shake their resolve."

So he's feeling great, but the defending knights behind him are in for a rough time.

Translation: "So he was all right, but the rear‑guard knights behind him were in bad shape."

So he tossed aside any pretense, pulled out a bottle of magic potion, tipped his head back, and gulped it down.

Translation: "So he simply dropped the pretense, pulled out a bottle of magic potion from his pocket, tipped his head back, and gulped it down."

Then black liquid dripped from the corner of his mouth, saliva flying everywhere.

Translation: "Then black liquid dripped from the corner of his mouth, saliva flying everywhere."

However, it's only now that he realizes it's too late, because just then a string of obscure, earsplitting evil curse suddenly rang out.

Translation: "Only now did he realize it was too late, for just then a string of obscure, earsplitting curses suddenly rang out."

"I'm a soft‑rice eater? Then you guys eat it too! Does it suit? I eat soft rice and I'm proud; my teeth aren't good, that's my talent!"

Translation: ""Am I a soft‑rice eater? Then you eat it too! Does it suit? I'm proud of eating soft rice—I have bad teeth, that's my talent!""

"Good timing, I've long been annoyed by you, you shameless thing!"

Translation: ""Good timing—I've long found you shameless and annoying!""

But the prince consort is basically really crazy; he's clearly passionately exchanging fire with Radiant Light good thick rice, yet he still has the leisure to chit‑chat.

Radiant Light good thick rice

Translation: "But the Prince Consort was pretty much truly crazy—clearly he was passionately exchanging fire with the Radiant Light good thick rice, yet he still had the leisure to mumble and grumble."

But Xijueye's face showed no shock or gravity; looking at the madman in the sky, he only had a contempt born of old scheming.

Translation: "But Lord Xiguang's face showed neither shock nor gravity; looking at the madman in the sky, he held only a calm, seasoned contempt."

(unintelligible garbled text)

Translation: ""Don't look down on me! You all look down on me! Damn it, I'll supermarket you all's teeth!""

In an instant, a vast amount of magic surged out, letting his boiling sea of consciousness run at full throttle like a sweat‑shop factory, constantly constructing all kinds of spells.

Translation: "In an instant, torrents of magic surged out, making his boiling sea of consciousness run at full throttle like a sweat‑shop factory, constantly constructing all kinds of spells."

"Ah?"

Translation: "Ah?"

So Tiriya exhausted all means, still couldn't locate the mysterious wizards, let alone launch an attack, and could only fume helplessly.

Translation: "So Tirya exhausted all means, yet couldn't locate those mysterious wizards, let alone attack them, and could only rage helplessly."

Until the Radiant Duke's body suddenly burst with blazing golden light, a mighty shout rang out like a great bell.

Translation: "Until Xiguang Duke's body suddenly burst with blazing golden light, a mighty angry shout rang out like a great bell."

"May I ask if you've seen the commander of the Sky Horse Knights, Haikemedia? And the Deep Forest Envoy Ambassador Mu Xiting?"

Translation: ""May I ask if you've seen the Haikemedia commander? And the Ambassador Mu Xiting from Deep Forest?""

When there's no apothecary on the field, the mage with healing magic becomes the chief nurse.

Translation: "When there's no apothecary on the field, the mage with healing magic becomes the chief healer."

So even if Tiriya is exhausted to death under normal conditions, it can't stop the enemy's all‑out spell barrage; it can only howl.

Translation: "So even if Tirya drops dead from exhaustion, he can't stop the enemy's all‑out spell barrage; he can only howl."

"Cough! Cough!"

Translation: "Cough! cough!"

They suddenly realized that, with the Vital Breath's blessing, the Radiant Duke's movement speed is actually greater than Mu Xiting's aiming speed.

Translation: "They suddenly realized that, with the aid of True Qi, Xiguang Duke's movement speed actually exceeds Mu Xiting's aiming speed."

Xijueye is utterly unafraid, slaps his thigh: 'Go mourn for your mother!'

Translation: "Lord Xiguang feared nothing, slapped his thigh: "Go mourn for your mother!""

He, in an exquisite mental state, became like a heavy bomber, personally dropping a squadron‑level barrage of fire on the Radiant defenders.

Translation: "He, in superb spirits, became like a heavy bomber, personally laying down a squadron‑level barrage on the Radiant Light guards."

"Don't look down on me, you dare to look down on me! Am I not trying hard enough?"

Translation: ""Don't look down on me—you dare to look down on me? Aren't I trying hard enough?""

Xijueye smashes the wall with a hammer, his fingers like guns: 'Don't cry, your old man isn't dead yet!'

Translation: "Lord Xiguang smashed the wall with a hammer, fingers like spears: "Don't cry—your old man's not dead yet!""

"Wake up!"

Translation: "Wake up!"

"At such a solemn moment, can't you shut your useless mouth? No one cares who's on top of whom."

Translation: ""Can't you shut your useless mouth at such a solemn moment? Nobody cares who's on top of whom.""

Well, maybe it's not that he can't hold it in, but rather he's giving it his all—because the next second he suddenly started wailing loudly.

Translation: "Well, maybe it's not that we can't hold out, but it's 'come on'—because the next second he suddenly started wailing."

"Ah?"

Translation: "Ah?"

He was even already tearing up, tears of emotion flowing down.

Translation: "Even as tears streamed down, flowing with moved emotion."

To become a qualified ranged damage dealer, the most important lesson is to find a suitable hiding spot.

Translation: "To become a qualified ranged damage dealer, the most important lesson is to find a suitable hiding spot."

But the surroundings were all in ruin, wherever you looked it was a demonic Asura scene, still making everyone feel a chill down their spine.

Translation: "But with everything around fallen, the vista all demonic, the Asura‑like scene still made everyone feel a chill down their spines."

But after the scolding, Xijueye didn't continue to press the knights; instead he uttered the toughest soft words.

Translation: "But after the shouting, Lord Xiguang didn't keep pressing the knights for intensity; instead he uttered the toughest soft words."

However, he had only taken half a beat when the Radiant Duke bluntly exclaimed, 'You calling your horse?' and cut him off.

Translation: "However, after walking just half an eight‑beat, Xiguang Duke bluntly blurted out a hearty "You calling your horse?" and cut him off."

Possibly because he was arguing with Xijueye, after a brief rest the evil curse voice surged back, and its speed became even more deranged.

Translation: "Perhaps after sparring with Lord Xiguang, after a brief rest the curse voice surged back, its speed growing ever more deranged."

So…

Translation: "So……"

"Lord!"

On record!

A string of laughter so loud it could hurt your eyes just reading it on paper came from the sky; everyone hurriedly looked toward the sound, but they were all stunned.

???

Those who could hold out this far weren't cowards; the knights instantly cast aside their guilt, donned their armor, hung their swords, and re-formed their ranks.

Especially Tiliya, who could serve as headmaster of the Radiant Magic Academy!

And just when everyone thought the Xiguang Duke had decided to bear everything himself, alone resisting Musi Ting's fury.

And his last words before losing consciousness were: "Run, something's happened to the Holy Mountain!"

"Hiss... Your Grace, have you seen the Chosen?"

Musi Ting's face was both crying and laughing; under the curse's brainwashing, he acted like a broken child, shamelessly displaying his emotions before everyone.

This is obviously some precious secret medicine with great effect but huge side effects and absolutely high price! Eighty percent it's something the Prince Consort kept on hand for a life-or-death gamble; I never expected he'd just gulp it down in his madness.

Hahahaha!

Therefore, the Xiguang Duke's sharp shout no longer works; he must continuously channel righteous qi into his throat, speaking nonstop to barely counteract the evil curse.

"I want you all, dead!"

"Steel... what is the flower language of steel wire ball?"

For some reason their language ability is very low; speaking in broken fragments, they naturally end up being blown apart on the spot.

His smile twisted, his voice hoarse and exhausted.

So Headmaster Ti immediately lunged forward, reliably raising his hand to smash down three healing spells, pulling both person and horse back up.

(unintelligible garbled text)

Such concentrated firepower would make even a level‑70 master retreat three leagues, let alone this bunch of rookies.

Only half of the mighty mages from various colleges showed up, only a small half of the king‑appointed guard knights, and the noble strong‑ones were barely one in ten.

"Oneself... person..."

Then he started spouting nonsense, blurting out all kinds of royal gossip and couples' private affairs, leaving the brothers and sisters on the ground dumbfounded.

Hahahaha!

"The Pioneers have a saying: Know shame, then be brave; straighten your attire and fight again!"

Headmaster Ti's brain crashed, and he instinctively replied.

If no turnaround appears, his defeat will likely be only a matter of time.

"Hey man, can you even say that?"

This round, Haikemedia got absolutely wrecked, coughing up a lot of blood before barely regaining the ability to speak.

The duke's face grew increasingly grim, but he could only shake his head.

Most of Musi Ting's hatred was sucked away by the duke; the falling magic orbs naturally changed direction, following the Xiguang Duke's steps as they departed.

The verbal barrage he used to counter that evil curse never ceased; with a sway of his feet he stepped out of the previously drawn boundary line.

What's worse, this time the chanting wasn't done by a single sorcerer— the enemy brought at least four reinforcements! Though the newcomers' level isn't as high as the first, at most they're just apprentice sorcerers, but four clumsy oafs can still muster strength by sheer numbers.

However, this thing is less a counter and more a rebound! He can only rebound after the opponent acts first, and it causes no actual damage.

But it seems this round of spell‑dueling saw the Xiguang Duke using water to counter earth, employing a righteous qi trump card to nullify the opponent's brain‑piercing demonic tone.

Under heaven, across the multiverse, whoever harbors righteousness and strives to walk the chivalrous path can cultivate— that is the great way of nurturing the body with righteous qi! Although the Xiguang Duke's true origins aren't spotless, who could be clean having come this far?

And all we can say is that these rookies are usually timid and refined; maybe they've been repressed to numbness, and now that they've opened their chatterboxes they just can't hold back.

But it's a pity, because the current version of Yangyue is all about firepower supremacy, so bombarding each other with magic orbs is basic skill for every mage.

Since righteous qi does not belong to its guardians, the Wu clan, it naturally isn't limited to Huaxia alone, nor confined to this single world of Earth.

"Waa waa waa, you all look down on me; she says she's my wife, but she has no interest in playing poker with me, always so passive waa waa waa..."

Putting all this outside, it was almost in an instant that countless magic orbs poured down like a collapsing sky toward the Xiguang Duke.

Now that's something— you've got bombers, I've got close‑in defense cannons; two level‑70 mages directly set off a sky‑full of fireworks over the castle.

"Cough… hehe, ha… cough… hahahaha!"

The duke, in the midst of wiping blood from his hand, froze for a moment, then shook his head.

Just a single sharp shout broke the mysterious sorcerer's bewitching, and on the spot it scolded awake many knights lost in chaos.

The Xiguang Duke didn't think this meant everyone had betrayed the Radiant, so the only possible outcome was……

"Captain, what are you doing, captain!"

Therefore, as its capital, even with wind and rain tossing, the king's grave illness casting shadows overhead, Qixia City's openly listed level‑70 strong‑ones are more than one, and behind the scenes there are even more! But now?

"Weak will, you deserve punishment!"

Moreover, he guards the nation and secures the state, old yet steadfast, risking his life to defend a region's peace— that certainly counts as great merit.

Having finally found a chance to output, he whipped out another magic staff, double‑locked and double‑ready, instantly unleashing textbook‑style double‑speed burst casting.

Even covering your ears does no good, because by the time you do, you'll realize the incantation seems to come from the depths of your heart.

So the question is, even if Radiant is weak, it's still weak before the Deep Forest; yet mixing in a low‑temperature southern‑hemisphere server, it can still hold its own as a regional power.

Hearing that the Sima thing actually began to explain in detail just how weird the princess's XP system is, he couldn't hold back any longer and flew into a rage on the spot.

(unintelligible garbled text)

Thus Musi Ting's mad, frantic bombardment was less about blasting the Xiguang Duke and more about bombing the mysterious assassins hot on his heels.

If you listen closely, that incantation seems to have no substantive meaning, yet it can shock the mind and make one's whole body heat up uncontrollably.

Crack!

However, no matter how strong righteous qi is, it's merely another separately calculated blue bar; it's impossible for him to keep squandering it without restraint.

"Uh, wait a moment, Your Grace, what are you doing?"

But how could that mysterious sorcerer just give up? After a brief regrouping, he immediately launched again into that hoarse, mocking chant, utterly unpleasant to hear.

Good, so good, the classic moment is about to descend again!

At least...

It was as if someone had pressed a switch, and the bottom line in the hearts of the garrison knights was instantly torn apart.

Moreover, this is a super large-scale aoe, the kind where invisibility is useless! So in the sweep, even that group of mysterious wizards busy chanting spells got dragged in.

「Stupid…… stupid fool! 」

The grand wizard could only pause his casting, bringing his disciples to raise their shields and forcefully withstand this wave.

Seeing this scene, after a long fierce battle, Lord Xi's face finally broke into a smile for the first time.
