Chapter 1560: Chapter 1560: The Battle Against the Faceless

It’s not just Edward and his group; other perceptive players are also leaving this battlefield. These people’s actions are truly foolish.

With someone holding off the Faceless One, they have a chance to fish in troubled waters. Now, they’ve inverted priorities, besieging Li Yao. It seems like they’re after military merit and the first kill, to eliminate the greatest opponent, but in reality, they’re courting death.

If no one restrains the Faceless One, few among them can truly damage it, while the rest can’t even inflict harm. Attempting to kill off their opponents prematurely is simply foolish.

Those who retreated, do they not know Li Yao is the greatest threat? Of course, they do. Don’t they want to kill Li Yao? Of course, they do.

But is this the right moment? At least disable the Faceless One first, then attack Li Yao when the real opportunity arises after he’s detached from his team.

Moreover, if they’re going to act, they should at least be organized. The chance of success in killing Li Yao is low with such chaos. They should have coordinated in advance; if they’re going to attack, do it like a thunderbolt, leaving no room for retaliation.

Right now, they’re not just facing the threat of the Faceless One; they’ve also become targets for Li Yao and the Green Dragon Princess, offending the top fighters on both sides of this battleground. What are they even doing?

In truth, they’ve given Li Yao an excuse to massacre. Originally, he might have been cautious. But now? When dealing with the Faceless One, it’s only natural to kill off these other players, with no justifiable reason not to.

Li Yao’s sickle spreads like the wind, with arcs of blade light flickering on and off.

In just moments, it spreads over hundreds of yards. Instantly, the players hundreds of yards around Li Yao fall silent.

Then, bodies are split into halves, dropping abruptly.

In a matter of moments, hundreds of players are killed, striking terror into the hearts of many.

"Reverie!"

The fallen bodies seem to experience a reversal of time, shakily returning to the moment they were killed, with their bodies eerily reconnecting.

Strands of Soul White Light are forcibly pulled back into their shattered bodies. Observant people have already noticed; these players’ bodies haven’t truly recovered but are pieced together, merely bonded by a green mist.

As their souls reintegrate, these players move like zombies, their eyes lifeless.

Some attack nearby players, while others fearlessly block the advancing Faceless One.

Due to a brief delay, the Faceless One is now close by.

Bam bam bam bam bam bam...

The Faceless One takes concentrated impact and attacks. Its feet slow, though it doesn’t entirely stop moving.

Tentacles on its shoulders and arms—one whole arm is a massive tentacle—are in motion.

Like the heaviest of hammers, melee players are swatted away by these appendages.

Their bodies wither, corroded beyond recognition, truly dead and unrecoverable this time. Having to die twice, souls return to the grave—those players are devastated.

The tentacles’ power is overwhelmingly immense, making one’s scalp tingle. Even armored melee classes, their heavy armor warped and twisted, appear bizarrely altered.

Luckily, they died once. This time, they’re controlled by the Green Dragon Princess; otherwise, their screams would’ve been excruciating, as this kind of death is torturous.

"Damn, Prairie Fire is too ruthless to use our companions as cannon fodder."

However, no one responds. Awakening to reality, many realize.

But Li Yao once again finds an unburdened excuse. Knowing he can’t escape anymore, he directly faces the Faceless One.

The Faceless One swings a tentacle, spanning hundreds of yards, with a sharp whistling sound aiming at the Green Dragon Princess’s head. In truth, it’s only the Green Dragon Princess that the Faceless One sees as worthy. Li Yao is but a stronger ant.

Along the way, two unfortunate players fail to dodge, organs spilled as they twist and fall, but the tentacle doesn’t pause or hesitate, still madly charging at Li Yao.

"Princess, assist me."

"I know." The Green Dragon Princess’s eyes flicker with green light. After hours of combat, the two have built seamless cooperation.

The Green Dragon Princess fully acknowledges Li Yao. To her, Li Yao’s combat skills and experience are extremely adept and acute. Initially, the battle strategy involved discussion, with the Green Dragon Princess thinking it would primarily revolve around her.

Yet as the fight progressed, she realized she’d unconsciously become Li Yao’s support. Alongside her support, she was surprised to discover that Li Yao possessed entirely world-class combat power. No, it was an even stronger combat determination than any world-class fighter, unconsciously making her the support. In the past, this would have been impossible, given that Li Yao’s real situation was merely race-tier.

A green light is affixed to the sickle, but this time hidden inside rather than on its surface.

Li Yao’s wrist turns, flashes of dark blade light flicker, applying status effects, and he slashes several times consecutively.

Thud, thud, thud, thud...

The blade light and tentacle collide with no expected crash sound, only slight thuds.

Blade light swipes through, severing the giant, immensely durable tentacle into many segments.

"Explode!"

The green shadows left by the blade light explode, forming a layer of outward-bursting barriers.

Tentacle fragments and corrosive liquid spray everywhere, unlucky bystanders unable to dodge.

But with the explosion, all corrosive fluid is kept away from Li Yao and the Green Dragon Princess.

Whoosh!

The Faceless One’s body shudders, twitches a few times, then swiftly regrows the severed tentacle, just like the injuries caused by arrows piercing through its body swiftly recover.

Li Yao and the Green Dragon Princess seize the momentum, encircling the Faceless One for a frenzied battle.

Li Yao possesses the divine eye, seeing how it gathers energy to launch attacks, combined with his current powerful attack attributes. The fight is exhilarating, his Reaper’s Scythe constantly slicing off those tentacles.

But the Faceless One’s recovery ability is even more terrifying than Li Yao’s. When Li Yao takes damage, he must continuously deal damage to recover.

And the Faceless One can not only absorb blood but seems to store the absorbed blood, able to recover continuously at any time, while the surrounding players not only can’t help but serve as its blood reservoir, instead of just attacking Li Yao. Both sides are stuck, Li Yao’s strong attacks not finding lethal points or wounds to truly injure the Faceless One.

"Damn it, we can’t fight like this anymore. I’ll try to disperse its corrosive mist around him so that the surrounding rabble can attack effectively. You must quickly find the Faceless One’s core; only by attacking its core can this monster be killed." The Green Dragon Princess’s claw accidentally covered in the Faceless One’s corrosive liquid is already pitch-black...
