Chapter 373 - 373 372 The Players Have Arrived

373: Chapter 372: The Players Have Arrived 373: Chapter 372: The Players Have Arrived “Even in death, this Emperor will take you down!”

The Human Emperor roared, his yellow robe whipping about as the fierce wind blew.

He didn’t care about his appearance; his mind was set on destroying this undead skull for the deep hatred harbored between them was boundless!

Su Ran looked at the maniacally crazed Human Emperor, eroded by the venom.

Su Ran sighed, thinking to himself.

The Emperor’s reactions and agility had diminished greatly, yet he dared to challenge him.

Did he really think Su Ran was easy to manipulate?

Unafraid, Su Ran casually unleashed a lightning strike on the approaching Human Emperor.

“Crackle!”

The speed of the lightning attack was swift, ideal for a surprise attack.

Most ordinary people wouldn’t have the time to react before the attack struck.

But the Human Emperor was no ordinary being; even though the snake venom had slowed his reaction time considerably, he had prepared a countermeasure.

As the lightning strike was about to hit, he summoned a Wind Shield above his head, which successfully blocked the attack, causing him to become unsteady and nearly fall from the sky.

It was clear that the Human Emperor was nearing his limits.

The Primordial Great Snake did not continue to attack the Human Emperor.

Instead, it coiled itself up into a ball, its skull tucked within the coils, gradually healing its injuries.

While the Human Emperor was busy deflecting the lightning strike, Su Ran quickly descended to the ground and ran towards the Primordial Great Snake.

He knew he had to retrieve the snake into the Ancient Relic before anything unexpected happened.

He couldn’t risk leaving anything up to chance!

The Human Emperor, slowed down by the potent venom, couldn’t match Su Ran’s speed, but he didn’t give up.

He continued chasing the small undead skull with all his might.

As he passed a glance at the ever receding Human Emperor, Su Ran felt a touch of satisfaction.

He couldn’t catch up with him now.

Serves him right for showing off!

Upon reaching the Primordial Great Snake, Su Ran didn’t pause.

He took out the Ancient Relic, slapped it onto the snake, and just like that, the snake disappeared from the Royal Capital and retreated to rest within the Ancient Relic.

“You damned undead skull, meet your doom!”

The Human Emperor gritted his teeth in anger.

His body was enveloped in a whirlwind, as all the wind elements were being drawn into the Ivory Folding Fan.

With a powerful swipe, sharp wind blades swept towards Su Ran, slice after slice.

“Good!”

Su Ran was indifferent to the incoming wind blades.

He bowed to pick up the strange earthen coffin, held it horizontally in front of him to guard his front.

“Swish, swish!”

The defensive power of the earthen coffin couldn’t compare with the previous mud form.

Only a couple of wind blades reduced the coffin to scattered mud that splattered all over.

“Hey, you fell for it!”

As soon as Su Ran had raised the earthen coffin, he was already speeding backward.

The Human Emperor’s wind blade attack was delayed by the earthen coffin, buying enough time for Su Ran to escape the attack radius.

Using the coffin, he successfully re-initiated the fatal connection between the Human Emperor and the earthen coffin.

At this moment, even the pursuing Human Emperor was feeling apprehensive.

He couldn’t understand the subsequent transformations of the earthen coffin.

Having witnessed its power before, he dared not to underestimate it.

Plus, with Su Ran’s malicious look, something unfortunate could very well occur.

However,

The scattered mud once again started to move, self-guided, and merging together to form a new earthen coffin before Su Ran’s eyes.

This time, though, the coffin remained still, showing no sign of attacking the Human Emperor.

It just lay there silently.

Damn, could someone please tell him how to use this earthen coffin?

An exasperated Su Ran twitched; he felt this earthen coffin was way too unreliable…

Just at that moment, a commotion was heard from outside the Royal Capital city gates.

Both Su Ran and the Human Emperor were taken aback.

They quickly realized that the players had finally arrived!

Yet, at this moment, even though the players had reached there, they were stopped at the gates.

Su Ran knew why – non-humans could enter the Royal Capital only with a letter of recommendation!

“Still so stubborn at this juncture!”

The Human Emperor was annoyed at the overly dutiful gate guards.

As of now, these non-humans were a significant force that couldn’t be overlooked!

With their help, killing this skull would be easy!

Despite the varying control over non-humans, they still belonged to the Human Race!

“By the decree of the Emperor, lift the ban on the Royal Capital.

Let everyone enter or leave freely.

No one is to be stopped!”

This edict was equivalent to a royal decree; the guards didn’t dare to disobey it.

Thousands of players flooded into the Royal Capital and rushed towards the Human Emperor.

It was a sight filled with immense power and spreading murderous intent!

Seeing this, Su Ran didn’t become intimidated but rather heaved a sigh of relief.

With the Emperor’s command, he was now free to stay in the Royal Capital without any time limit.

As for the time limit specified by the incense stick, it could go to hell!

“Charge!

Protect Emperor!”

“Emperor, don’t worry, we’re here to save you!”

“Your Majesty, here’s my QQ number.

My sister is a great shoulder to lean on.

Just give us a title as a royal consort and we’ll be content!”

That statement dumfounded the surrounding players.

The female player who said that was considered extraordinary and revered by everyone around.

…

The initial task assigned to the thousands of players who had just arrived at the Imperial City was an urgent one: to enter the Royal Capital, save the Human Emperor, and exterminate the invading aliens!

The reward for this mission was extremely generous!

However, the Royal Capital was heavily fortified, and without a recommendation letter, no one could step into the capital.

On seeing the sea of beasts in the square, their legs went weak and they lost the will to resist.

The holy beast, White Tiger, was left alone to fight against the Beast Clan, causing a bloodbath in the Imperial City!

As they say, the capable ones bear more responsibilities, right?

Without wasting any time, the players who had received the task courteously avoided the fearless Beast Clan and made a beeline for the Royal Capital.

Guarding the Imperial City and expelling the Beast Clan was the least of their worries.

It was a joke to them!

Having allied with the Emperor, how could any hidden mission be out of their reach?

By then, wouldn’t equipment, skills, and gold coins be within easy reach?!

Hence, that scene just now ensued.

But, once the thousands of players arrived in front of the Emperor, they were shocked to find that the one opposing the Emperor was just a low-level undead skull!

How could it be?!

Who was the Human Emperor, after all?

A powerful entity at the top of the human pyramid!

Yet here he was, on the brink of destruction at the hands of a weak little skull, how could anyone believe that?

Had they not see it with their own eyes, they would have dismissed it as a joke!

“Haha, this task reward is easy pickings!”

All the players were thinking along the same lines.

Initially, they thought that the Beast Clan’s army had infiltrated the Royal Capital, and that the Human Emperor was outnumbered, facing a crisis.

But who would have guessed there would be just one skull here, and as long as they killed it, the generous reward would be theirs for the taking!

This thought inflamed the thousand players’ eyes, they looked at the little skull as though it were a delicious bun.

Whoever took it down first, the reward would be theirs!

Someone shouted, and without any hesitation, all the players started attacking the seemingly fragile little skull.
