165: Chapter 165 Ghostly Back

Inside the territory of Xiake Island.

Several thousand people were scattered about.

Jiang He and the others couldn't help but be impressed.

In less than a day, Xie Yunzhou had actually managed to gather so many people using coercive methods.

Looking at the faces of every gang member, they were all filled with expressions of reluctance.

Some female players were even secretly wiping away tears.

"Wuwu... the levels I worked so hard to gain are just going to be given away for nothing."

"Sigh, stop crying. You'd better take off your equipment first, so it doesn't drop if the enemy kills you in battle."

"Right, right, right, take off the equipment first. If I die and lose a level, I can still grind back up, but if my equipment drops, that would be a huge loss."

Immediately after, thousands of people retreated to the corners and began taking off their high-level equipment one by one, replacing them with low-tier gear.

Xie Yunzhou saw this but didn't say much.

He also knew that these people were unwilling.

But right now, there was no other way.

The enemy was already at the doorstep; he couldn't exactly go out with just a dozen people to face tens of thousands, could he?

Suddenly, his expression changed, and he glared, shouting, "Damn it, is there something wrong with you, kid?"

"I'm talking to you! Don't try to hide in the back!"

Thump, thump, thump—

Xie Yunzhou rushed over in a few steps, grabbed a warrior by the collar, and roared:

"Everyone else at least put on a set of Apocalypse Gear; what the hell do you mean by wearing cloth armor and holding a wooden sword?"

The man was so scared that tears welled up in his eyes.

Under Xie Yunzhou's pressure, he finally changed into a set of equipment that was barely acceptable.

At this time, Jiang He walked up to North Wind: "I'll lend you this set of equipment to wear again. Be careful not to let it drop."

North Wind looked at the black dragon set in Jiang He's hands, his eyes shining.

He had worn this set of equipment once before for his Class Advancement Trial, and its power was astonishing.

Seeing the other party take it with a look of pleasant surprise,

Jiang He repeatedly warned him not to let it drop.

This equipment was something he had rented from Qiao Er.

Now, he had inexplicably brought it to Storm City.

He estimated that he wouldn't be able to return it for quite some time.

[The Gang War is about to begin. Countdown: 10... 9... 8...]

Thousands of white lights flashed.

The crowd within the territory disappeared from their spots.

Immediately after, everyone appeared atop a city wall.

Looking into the distance below the city, everyone couldn't help but frown.

"Old Xie, just how many people did you provoke?"

In just this one day,

not only had Xiake Island forcibly gathered thousands of people,

but the situation on the Wind and Cloud Gang's side was even more exaggerated.

From the initial eighteen thousand people,

it had directly swelled to thirty thousand.

Players in the city heard that Xie Yunzhou would be in this Gang War.

Everyone signed up enthusiastically, taking the initiative to join the Wind and Cloud Gang.

All for the sake of taking Xie Yunzhou's life.

Even many small gangs disbanded on the spot and transferred entirely into the Wind and Cloud Gang.

They were determined to kill Xie Yunzhou to vent their anger.

Before long, the opposing army pressed up to the front of the city.

Jiang He sighed: "Let's go, out of the city to meet the challenge."

For this battle, there was no combat plan whatsoever.

Then, thousands of people dragged their heavy steps and walked out.

"Wuu... big brothers on the other side, please go easy later. We were all forced into this."

"Right, you can kill me, but you can't humiliate me, okay?"

Xie Yunzhou heard the shouts from his own side.

His face turned red and blue with embarrassment.

When others went to the battlefield, they shouted challenges.

But his side was directly begging for mercy?

Purple Scorpion walked out carrying his sword and laughed wildly: "Haha, Old Dog Xie, with one more defeat, your Xiake Island will have to disband. Today, we should settle our old scores."

As he spoke, his tone turned into a gnashing of teeth.

He thought back to when he was so suppressed by the other party that he was constantly on edge even when leaving the city to farm monsters.

He feared that if he wasn't paying attention for a single moment, a sound would come from beside his ear.

Followed by a blade strike.

This kind of thing had happened to him more than once.

"Hmph, don't give me that crap. However I taught you a lesson back then is exactly how I'll teach you one now!"

"Arrogant!" Purple Scorpion roared, then waved his arm, "Operation Kill the Dog, officially begin!"

Immediately, the tens of thousands behind him all excitedly raised their weapons and shouted: "Kill the dog! Kill the dog! Kill the dog!"

Xie Yunzhou's face turned ashen.

"Damn it, you guys are going too far!"

In the next second, he immediately activated his stealth skill.

The tens of thousands in the Wind and Cloud Gang all tensed up.

"Damn, he's using stealth again!"

"Everyone pay attention, this kid might be sneaking over!"

"Defend! Quickly, focus on defense!"

Purple Scorpion, seeing the crowd's reaction, shouted sternly: "Damn it! What are you afraid of! There are so many of us, we could wipe them out with our bare hands! Everyone, charge with me—!"

In an instant, tens of thousands of people surged toward the city like a tide.

"Sigh... brothers, let's get to work!" Jiang He sighed, then spoke.

Swish—three white lights flashed.

Ice Dragon, Earth Demon, and Centaur Beast appeared on the battlefield.

"Block them!" Bai Yi immediately ordered.

Then, the three Battle Pets each used their skills and charged into the crowd.

"Brothers, follow me!" North Wind, looking very handsome in his black dragon set, raised his weapon and shouted.

Shi Gandang and the others followed closely behind, charging into the crowd.

Cloud Sparrow, meanwhile, stayed in the back with Zhou Rui and Miaomiao to provide long-range attacks.

Instantly, flames soared into the sky.

Wails of pain rose one after another.

"Ah... it hurts so much, why won't this fire go out?"

"Damn, why does this attack also carry poison?"

"Holy crap, is—is this even a warrior?"

North Wind was seen charging into the crowd, gripping his longsword with both hands and spinning like a top.

Screams erupted all around him.

Multiple white lights lit up in succession.

In a short while, hundreds on the opposite side had already died and exited the battlefield.

And the battle had only just begun for a single minute?

"Whoa, am I seeing things?"

At this moment, a member of Xiake Island shouted with a face full of disbelief.

Ten people?

They were beating back tens of thousands on the other side, with people dying constantly?

Originally, these people had come to the Gang War with a mindset of certain death.

But now, they saw that their side actually had the advantage?

In an instant, a surge of hot blood rushed to their hearts.

Just then, someone in the crowd shouted:

"Holy crap, look at that one, he's even more fierce!"

Jiang He was seen also charging into the crowd.

Wherever the styx fang passed, no one could withstand a single blow.

"How—how strong is he, exactly?"

The crowd had just noticed.

As long as Jiang He touched an enemy once, the opponent was instantly killed?

They didn't even have a chance to heal?

"What the hell does that count for? Look, he hasn't even lost a single drop of health?"

Everyone was greatly shocked.

They had clearly seen dozens of magic orbs and arrows hit Jiang He just now.

But he acted as if nothing had happened?

His health bar hadn't decreased in the slightest?

"Holy crap, where did this group of fierce people come from?"

"Damn it, who cares! Anyway, they're our own people from Xiake Island! Brothers, don't just stand there watching! Let's go too! Killing one isn't a loss, killing two is a profit!"

"Charge—!"

At this moment, the blood of the thousands on Xiake Island was completely ignited.

They all shouldered their weapons and charged up.

"Damn! Impossible! How can they be so strong?"

Purple Scorpion saw that with just ten people on the opposite side, their defensive line had been torn open in an instant.

Especially Jiang He, who had already fought his way to their central army's position.

He had started dealing with the fragile mages and priests in the back row?

"Boss, something's not right. They don't seem like ordinary classes?"

"Damn it! Do you think I'm blind?"

Purple Scorpion was both shocked and furious.

Of course he saw it.

What kind of warrior could fight by spinning in circles like a top?

And a mage who could switch skills at will, bombarding them with wind, fire, water, thunder, and lightning in turn?

Even the lowest-level Fireball Technique carried poison?

And then there was that most abnormal one?

One touch and you're dead, and with so many of our people hitting him, his health bar doesn't even move?

Furthermore, there were three BOSS-level Battle Pets?

How the hell are we supposed to fight this?

Purple Scorpion's face turned purple with rage.

Just then, his entire body suddenly stiffened.

A familiar and damnable voice came from beside his ear: "How about it, are you surprised? Are you shocked?"

This voice, this position—it was all too familiar?

It was Xie Yunzhou's unique combat style again, the Ghost Clinging to the Back!
