Devil King left for the main gate leaving the girls who had dumbfounded looks on their faces. Just when they were on the brink of giving up, he had appeared against the expectations of everyone..
Qingyuan smiled resplendently. 'He came for us!' She muttered. They weren't waiting for Xuan Yuan to save them from Heaven will Guild. They've already given everything up the moment they were captured. All they wanted was for him to show up to signify that he didn't abandon them...
At the Main gate of Heaven will Guild Headquarters, a crowd of players stood opposite the gates watching the scene playing out in front of them. Directly in front of them, a lone figure with a Silver Sword hanging on his belt stood opposite the Army of players from Heaven will. Looking at his back view, he resembled a lonely person who had experienced everything life had to offer. It was none other than Xuan Yuan who was struggling to keep himself in check.
After leaving the Holy Temple, he had wanted to visit the Jade Spear Emperor directly to turn in his quest but outside the city Lord's Manor, he had caught wind of the news about Qingdao and the others getting captured and hanged on the roof waiting to receive the scar that'd sully their reputation for life.
When he found out that the time limit was almost over, he'd rushed to Heaven will Guild Headquarters to save the girls even if Ghats the last thing he'd do...
And now he was standing before the opposing force's Guild Headquarters with their players standing opposite him. But none of them had the courage to attack Xuan Yuan. They were those who had witnessed Xuan Yuan's prowess, so none of them thought of charging blindly at Xuan Yuan and waste a trip to the resurrection point.
"Sword Mage" The captain of the group began "It's suicidal of you to have come here!" He continued.
"Let the girls go" Xuan Yuan said directly which earned the laughter and mockery of Heaven will players present.
"Hey! do you think you're the boss here??" A player said sarcastically. "Look around very well. This is our turf, you can't just come here and start your rampage!"
"They are innocent. Let them go then we can settle our scores" Xuan Yuan repeated.
"What if we don't?" The player asked.
"Sigh... Then we'd have to do it the hard way then" Said Xuan Yuan.
"By 'hard way', do you mean you'll singlehandedly fight everyone of us here?" A said came from inside the Headquarters, as an eighteen year old Knight led a team of fierce looking men that radiated killing intent.
"Young Master!!" The members of Heaven will present all bowed and greeted as they looked at the Knight and the men behind him with respect. That was Devil King and his bodyguards who just arrived.
"Why? You think I can't?" Xuan Yuan snorted.
"There are up to 10000 of our expert players present. That's more than enough to trample a small Guild let alone a single you. Just ten of our players is enough to send you to the rest point" Devil King said proudly. "Aren't I right?"
"Yes Young Master!!" The players shouted but inwardly they were saying:
'Young Master that's not true. He massacred up to five hundred players effortlessly'
'He's not Human! Let's just rush at him at once and trample him to death!' Another thought...
"Let the girls go!" Xuan Yuan repeated for the third time.
"I'm sorry but my woman is among the four so they can't leave" Devil King suddenly said.
'Woman?' The surrounding Heaven will players thought. 'When did the Boss got attached to one of them'
"Your woman?" Xuan Yuan was a bit confused.
'Who among them became this guy's woman?' He thought.
"Yeah! I think she was called Fairy Lotus. What a pretty name!" Devil King said.
As Xuan Yuan heard that, his whole being exploded with fury as he eyed Devil King with dangerous eyes. The surrounding Heaven will players were frightened like rabbits as they subconsciously took several steps back. 'This guy was calm when dealing with 500 of us. Why does he seem out of control now?' They thought. Devil King's bodyguards immediately appeared before him when they noticed Xuan Yuan's killing intent. He was totally furious now.
If the girls were present, they'd have been Simula surprised. 'Why is his reaction so strong?!!' They'd have thought.
"Now we're on a path of no return!" Xuan Yuan muttered with a hoarse voice. "You die or I do" He swore.
"Heaven Will players!!" Devil King called.
"Young Master!!" They answered.
"Here are your others!" He began. "Attack the Sword Mage! You will be rewarded with 100 Gold coins each when the war is over. Whoever manages to Kill the Sword Mage will not only get 1000 Gold coins, but will also get a silver equipment set and promoted to a Vice commander position! There is no limit to this rewards. Kill and get rewarded!" Devil King ordered.
"Fuck!! I'll kill this stinky brat!!" The players shouted once they heard Devil King's promise.
"That brat made me die eight times previously and made me lose several levels. I'll castrate him first and make him eat them as revenge!!"
The players cursed as they drew their weapons and lost all their rationality. They were suddenly energized as they courage shot through the Heavens as they released killing intent onto Xuan Yuan. They completely forgot how formidable Xuan Yuan is.
Even Xuan Yuan himself felt like killing himself when he heard such a fat reward from Devil King! Gold coins in game are still quite valuable. Since you could exchange in game coins with real money with exchange rate of 1:100, 1 Gold coin was worth 100 credits. 1000 Gold coin was 100000 units. That's even more than the annual salary of a white collar job, yet you could earn it by killing a player in game.
