Before the north gate of Anyang Town, countless spears flew straight toward Jiang Yuan. On the city wall, there was no cover for Jiang Yuan to hide behind. Facing hundreds of spears, Jiang Yuan had only one outcome—being turned into a pincushion!
"Mass Invisibility!"
At this critical moment, Cinnamon the hamster, who had been promoted to "Priest," once again used a skill she hadn't employed in a long time. Instantly, Jiang Yuan and Cinnamon vanished into thin air!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
The thousands of metal spears thrown by the demon army sailed over the north gate tower and landed inside Anyang Town.
"Quick, pick up those spears and throw them back!"
Inside Anyang Town, Captain of the Guard Mao Cheng'an, hiding behind a tall wall, saw the spears fall to the ground due to gravity. He immediately ordered the surrounding city guards to pick them up and then marched in groups toward the north gate tower.
"Ready! Release!"
Mao Cheng'an followed the soldiers up the north gate tower. Looking down at the demon army below, he waved his hand. The soldiers exhaled sharply, their arm muscles bulging as they hurled the spears with all their might toward the demon forces!
"Ahhh!"
The demon soldiers in the open had nowhere to dodge. Although the city guards lacked specialized training and their aim was off, many demon soldiers were still impaled by the spears, letting out screams of agony!
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't kill them!"
Seeing demon soldiers falling one by one, Jiang Yuan, still invisible, quickly revealed himself and shouted to stop them.
No way—these demon soldiers below were all precious experience points for Jiang Yuan!
"Lord Jiang, are you alright?"
Mao Cheng'an, seeing Jiang Yuan reappear, immediately raised his hand to halt the city guards' second volley of spears and asked with concern.
"I'm fine! Leave the rest to me!"
Jiang Yuan waved dismissively at Mao Cheng'an to reassure him, then with a thought, two thousand Sand River Turtles and eight thousand Dragon Beard Tigers once again filled the area around Anyang Town.
"Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"
The demon army was now gathered together, a perfect opportunity for Jiang Yuan to wipe them out in one fell swoop. He immediately ordered his summoned beasts to attack.
"Roar!"
Tens of thousands of summoned beasts surged like a flood into the demon army led by Grand Commander Guma, mowing down demon soldiers like cutting through vegetables.
A massacre ensued!
"Ding! Congratulations on defeating an elite demon soldier. You've earned 2.5 million experience points!"
"Ding! Congratulations on defeating an elite demon squad leader. You've earned 5 million experience points!"
Each demon soldier gave 10 million experience, and each squad leader gave 20 million. As nearly two hundred notification sounds rang out continuously, Jiang Yuan's four-person team each shared nearly 500 million experience points!
Meanwhile, on the east gate tower, the elite First Squad of the Proud World Guild watched as Jiang Yuan, Wen Ding Cang Sheng, Cinnamon, and Ding Ye were constantly bathed in the white light of leveling up. Their faces were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred!
"Boss! If we don't act now, Jiang Yuan will solo all these mobs!"
Seeing the colorful light pillars erupting from the demon monsters below, the elites of Proud World's First Squad couldn't stay calm. Their eyes reddened as they shouted at Proud World Dragon Emperor.
"Let's go, charge with me! Grab whatever we can!"
Seeing Jiang Yuan's summoned beasts' overwhelming assault, Proud World Dragon Emperor decided not to sit idly by. With a loud shout, he led the First Squad down the tower and charged out the north gate!
In an instant, the 40-member First Squad of Proud World plunged into the demon army, competing with Jiang Yuan for the kill rights on the demon soldiers.
"Brother Cangsheng, Ding Ye, you two just focus on looting. Leave the fighting to me!"
Watching the Proud World members diving into the demon formation below, Jiang Yuan smiled nonchalantly. He said a word to the two fighters who had been on the front lines, then concentrated on commanding his summoned beasts to continue reaping the demon soldiers' lives.
"Retreat! Fall back now!"
Facing the one-sided assault, Demon Grand Commander Guma panicked completely. Fear and confusion showed in his eyes as he hastily organized his troops to retreat toward the Anan and Anbei mountains.
"Boss! We're here!"
Just then, Proud World Little Tyrant, having revived a second time, arrived with the Second and Third Squads. Seeing Proud World Dragon Emperor fighting fiercely with the First Squad's elites, Little Tyrant's eyes lit up, thinking this was his chance to shine. He shouted to Dragon Emperor, then directed the two squads to surround the retreating Demon Grand Commander Guma!
"Nice work!"
Seeing that Little Tyrant had managed to trap the highest-level boss, Proud World Dragon Emperor's face lit up with joy. He thought, *This guy finally did something right!* He immediately praised him.
"Kill him!"
Elated by Dragon Emperor's praise, Little Tyrant waved his hand and ordered the Second and Third Squads to attack Demon Grand Commander Guma!
"Hmph! A bunch of ants!"
Demon Grand Commander Guma slowly dismounted, a contemptuous smile on his face. In his eyes, the group led by Little Tyrant were nothing but lambs to the slaughter!
Guma's weapon was a pitch-black spiked club, twelve feet long and weighing over a thousand pounds!
"Die!"
Guma gripped the club's tail end and executed a "Sweeping Thousand Army" move. An invisible shockwave spread out, hitting the Second and Third Squads head-on. Damage numbers ranging from 50,000 to 80,000 appeared above each Proud World player's head. In an instant, a large empty space cleared in front of Guma.
"First Squad brothers, stop fighting the small fries and support the Second and Third Squads!"
Seeing the bodies strewn everywhere ahead, Proud World Dragon Emperor was shocked by Guma's terrifying strength. He quickly ordered the guild's elites, who were still battling the demon soldiers and squad leaders, to surround the retreating Demon Grand Commander Guma again.
"Another bunch of fools coming to die, huh!"
Grand Commander Guma snorted heavily, two puffs of white air escaping his nose. He slammed his club heavily into the ground!
With Guma's action, Proud World Dragon Emperor, who had just led his men to surround him, was shocked to find the ground beneath them violently shaking. Shockwaves spread out, and invisible attacks immediately struck Dragon Emperor and his group.
Compared to the weaker Second and Third Squads, the First Squad far surpassed them in both level and stats. So, after enduring Guma's shockwave, none of the First Squad members died, though their health bars were instantly reduced by more than half!
"Boss is awesome! First Squad is awesome!"
"Proud World is awesome! First Squad is awesome!"
The already dead members of the Second and Third Squads, seeing the First Squad brothers withstand the boss's terrifying attack, immediately started flattering in the team chat!
"Squad healers, top up health immediately! Buff classes, reapply buffs, hurry!"
After surviving Guma's first attack, Proud World Dragon Emperor began commanding. Under his leadership, the First Squad quickly stabilized and entered a standoff with the biggest demon boss.
"Jiang Yuan, they're attacking the biggest boss now. Are we just going to watch them do it?"
Down below, Ding Ye had already collected all the items from the surrounding light pillars. Seeing the Proud World people starting to fight the boss, he looked up at Jiang Yuan and asked.
"No rush. This Guma boss isn't easy to take down. Our priority is to clear out the surrounding demon soldiers and centurions to level you guys up!"
Jiang Yuan wasn't flustered at all. As he directed his summoned beasts to chase down the fleeing demon soldiers, squad leaders, and even centurions, he calmly said to Ding Ye.
"Got it!"
As the person who knew Jiang Yuan best, Ding Ye understood that he was always cautious—what Ding Ye called a "veteran schemer." Seeing Jiang Yuan so confident, Ding Ye agreed without worry, then ran ahead to pursue the routed demons.
About twenty minutes later, with the help of Wen Ding Cang Sheng and Ding Ye, Jiang Yuan had completely cleared out the remaining demon army. Now, in an area of about ten square meters in front of Anyang Town's north gate, colorful light pillars were everywhere, dazzling to the eye.
Looking up at the battle ahead, Jiang Yuan noticed that after all this time, Proud World Dragon Emperor and his group had only managed to take down 20% of Guma's health!
"One, two, three, four..."
Jiang Yuan counted on his fingers. The elite First Squad of Proud World now had fewer than twenty members left, most of them warriors.
"Clean up the battlefield and get ready to take over!"
Jiang Yuan led Cinnamon down the city wall, met up with Wen Ding Cang Sheng and Ding Ye outside the north gate, smiled slightly, and said to them.
"This is what they call 'the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind,' huh? Hehe!"
Cinnamon giggled, watching the Proud World players still dwindling ahead, her big eyes sparkling with cunning.
After a while longer, only Proud World Dragon Emperor, One Blade Breaks Ten Thousand Laws, and another level 81 warrior named "Take the Toughest Beatings" were left struggling to hold on.
"Being the fisherman feels pretty good, huh! Hee hee hee!"
Ding Ye watched the last three Proud World members slowly fall, exchanged a glance with Jiang Yuan, and both of them grinned slyly.
Jiang Yuan stepped forward, got a bit closer, and scanned the information above Demon Grand Commander Guma's head.
[Elite Monster: Demon Grand Commander Guma] Level: 110 Health: 80,000,000/100,000,000 Defense: 5500 Attack: 12,000-15,000
"Go!"
Seeing Guma's health rapidly regenerating, Jiang Yuan quickly said to Wen Ding Cang Sheng and the others, then summoned a thousand Sand River Turtles, ordering them to taunt Guma to prevent him from recovering fully!
