Chapter 280: A New Storm Is About to Appear

"Playing Legend?" The newcomers looked at one another in bewilderment. "No, we aren't."

Huangfu Tao had clearly not eaten his fill yet. Upon hearing that the shop even offered spicy sticks and Coke, he quickly ordered a portion, sat down on the sofa, and began to speak as he ate. "This master heard that Boss Fang's shop possesses the sword secrets of the Sword Control Technique, so I made a special trip here!"

"Sword Control Technique?" Mo Tianxing spoke as he ate his instant noodles. "Old as I am, I heard the Ruan girl mention something about it yesterday. I was too busy leveling up to take a look. Why? Is it very formidable?"

"Formidable, of course!" Recalling the events of last night, Huangfu Tao still felt a bit of embarrassment. A grand cultivator like himself, who had cultivated for hundreds of years, had actually chased a junior for an entire night, tiring himself nearly to exhaustion without catching up. If someone had said this in the past, who would believe it?

This Sword Control Technique must certainly be learned. Once mastered, whether chasing an enemy or fleeing for one's life, who could possibly stand against him once it was deployed?

Furthermore, there was the Divine Sword Lightning Control True Secret. It was said that this sort of thing could also be learned, and he naturally wanted to get his hands on such a high-powered technique!

At the same realm, having or not having a spell or sword secret of this tier made one's strength completely incomparable. Otherwise, he would not have envied Liu Ningyun's South China Heavenly Light to such an extent.

"Hacking Legend?" Huangfu Tao asked in wonder. "Could the benefits in this Legend truly be better than things like the Sword Control Technique?"

"This, old as I am, I do not know. You must ask the Ruan girl." Mo Tianxing shook his head, passing the topic to Ruan Ning.

Huangfu Tao and the others immediately looked toward Ruan Ning with curiosity.

"That wouldn't be the case!" Ruan Ning spoke up. "I watched a few episodes of Jade Dynasty, and the spells inside are incredibly powerful. But the problem is..."

Ruan Ning frowned slightly. "You can't learn it in a short amount of time! How could the Sword Control Technique be so easy to learn? I pondered it all last night and still haven't figured it out. They say it is controlling objects, but it is different from how we control dharma treasures. Even the structure of their treasures is not quite the same as ours. I estimate it will take quite a while longer to figure out."

Mo Tianxing nodded and said, "That is true. The spells in Legend, old as I am, I can learn them on the spot and use them on the spot. Their advantage lies in being simple and swift. Almost every spell is refined to the absolute limit. With a single thought and a lift of the hand, it happens in the blink of an eye, and the power is not small either. It is indeed very suited for magical combat."

"So that's how it is..." The few of them now roughly understood.

"No more chatting for now!" Mo Tianxing had already finished his noodles by this time. "Old as I am, I shall go level up first!"

"..."

Huangfu Tao and the several Black Flood Dragon Mansion cultivators he brought along, together with Liu Ningyun and the few South China Sect cultivators who followed her, were soon led by Boss Fang to begin their first computer experience.

"Now~ don't say this boss didn't look out for you. First, get on the computer to plant a wave of crops, then watch the television series or play games as you please. After a while, turn back to harvest the crops..."

Under Boss Fang's guidance, everyone quickly transformed from novices into veteran drivers, first planting a wave of crops and then starting to watch the show...

Then, they pulled Boss Fang into a discussion about the plot.

Of course, the routine matter of Boss Fang stealing a wave of their crops went unmentioned.

...

And at this very moment, in Mengzhong Province, Death Valley.

The name Death Valley was not as famous as its alias, 'Centipede Cave.'

Legend had it that this place was originally an underground corridor connecting Mengzhong Province to Viper Valley. The cave was filled with massive swarms of centipedes, evil maggots, and pincer worms, and travelers who mistakenly entered were often preyed upon by them.

Wang Jin brought along a band of men and horses. "Boss Black Demon, see that? Just that kid. I've seen him several times before. He goes by Young Master Song. He must be the thief who stole your crops!"

Several warriors could be seen hacking at centipedes ahead. When the character name display was toggled on, sure enough, there was a warrior named "Young Master Song" right in front of them.

...

The Penguin Lingyun Academy Channel.

A group of people could be seen gathered in a small room titled "Crusade Against the Boss."

Song Qingfeng was idly striking centipedes out of sheer boredom. "Sister Su, have you spotted anyone?"

Though by rights he ought to call her Aunt, essentially everyone who called her that had been beaten up.

Su Tianji: "I will send a transmission to the Xiao lad to ask."

Nalan Mingxue: "I heard the boss went out to have fun yesterday, so he should be coming online today."

Bai Lang: "I searched all over the city and didn't spot anyone."

Right at this moment, Song Qingfeng inexplicably saw a flash of azure lightning crash down upon his head!

Before he could comprehend what was happening, another one struck!

Having been hit by two consecutive bolts of electricity, Song Qingfeng's health bar instantly dropped by half, and simultaneously, a centipede pounced and pinned him to the ground!

"Holy crap, I'm being attacked!" Song Qingfeng shouted wildly in the Penguin channel while chugging red potions.

"Where?! Where?!" A crowd of players gathered in the Penguin channel, intending to gang up on the boss, were currently feeling an itch in their hands since they couldn't find Boss Fang.

"With so many of us here, someone actually dares to cause trouble?!"

"Death Valley, Gorges of Death, coordinates XXX, XXX!" Lin Shao shouted out at this moment.

Su Tianji: "We are right nearby. How many people?"

Nalan Mingxue: "We are flying over immediately."

Xi Qi: "Old Song, can you hold out?"

"Darn it! I found an opening and used a random teleport scroll to fly away! There are at least a dozen people! Can't beat them." Song Qingfeng shouted.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go!" Leveling up every day had left a stale taste in their mouths!

Nalan Mingxue called out: "They have quite a few people. Those who arrive first, gather at the entrance of Death Valley for a moment! Everyone from Lingyun Academy, assemble at the entrance of Death Valley!"

...

On the other side, the Black Demon Penguin Channel.

Wang Jin shouted: "Boss, that guy named Song ran away!"

"Interrupt him! I told you to interrupt him!" Black Demon's face was dark. "We were just one strike short!"

In the virtual reality version, Lightning Art and blade edges could be slammed directly onto a hand, and knocking away the random teleport or city return scrolls in a person's hand was not a problem at all. But quite clearly, they had been a step too slow just now!

"There are still a few more! They must be together!" Wang Jin shouted. "These few must absolutely not be allowed to escape!"

Lin Shao had only just pulled out a random teleport scroll when a bolt of lightning landed directly on his hand.

The extremely swift lightning instantly struck the scroll out of his hand.

Immediately following that, a dozen or so bolts of electricity came crashing down!

"Darn it! I got exploded!" Upon resurrecting and checking his equipment, he wailed on the spot. "My premium Grim Reaper Gloves with +3 Attack exploded out!"

"Those who resurrect, come gather at the entrance of Death Valley!" Nalan Mingxue called out. "If there are more than twenty people, enter directly!"

Very quickly, a crowd of people gathered. "Let's go, let's go, let's go! To the Gorges of Death!"

A period of time later...

A dozen or so warriors, along with a dozen or so mages and Taoists, could be seen rushing in like a swarm of hornets!

Awaiting them ahead were over a dozen mages and Taoists from Black Demon.

"It's those few!" Having finally reunited with the main force, Song Qingfeng charged out.

"Hack that whatever Master Jin first!" Lin Shao roared. "He was the one who killed me!"

"Fire Wall! Spread the Fire Wall up there! Hurl the Fire Burst forward!" Su Tianji had already activated her commander mode.

"Warriors, charge with me!" Nalan Mingxue held her Chopping Horse Blade high as the two girls took turns operating the commander mode.

In an instant, the dim valley was filled with a brilliant glow of fire and lightning!

Sword light fell like a curtain!

The mages struck first, and then the warriors pressed onward!

On the other side, a sharp cry of alarm rang out through the Dark Magic Penguin channel: "Are all the Dark Magic Guards there?! Everyone get to the Split-Sky Ridge of Death Valley to kill! Move! There are so many of them!"
