602 The Absolute, Complete Playthrough

Li Yi raced to Ouyang Qian's side, clutched her petite waist, and dragged her out of the Abyss-ripping Windstorm's suction range.

Abyss-ripping Windstorm was at the same rank as Overlord Arrow, and even for someone as rich as Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, the Epic-level Skill was out of reach. The reason for this was simple, as no amount of money could buy the skill. Instead, one needed luck and perseverance in order to get their hands on it.

Even with Onyxia's massive frame, she was easily blown around by Abyss-ripping Windstorm and had lost all control. However, that was because she was only an ornament currently. Since Li Yi was no longer on her body, she had lost all offensive capabilities. Otherwise, she would have swiped her talons and toughed it out against the Abyss-ripping Windstorm.

Once they were clear of Abyss-ripping Windstorm's range, Ouyang Qian squirmed her way out of Li Yi's grasp, pointed her staff at Ashy Sky, and unleashed a Meteor Fire Shower in mid-air.

Normally, when Wizards unleashed their ultimate skills, their bodies would levitate slightly. Though this feature might appear useless, it could be extremely significant. For example, how Ouyang Qian was currently using it. Even without Li Yi's assistance, her body was suspended in mid-air. In theory, as long as Meteor Fire Shower was not interrupted, she could remain in that state permanently.

Such was the benefit of levitation.

"Don't worry, you can leave Ashy Sky to me. Go settle the other problem."

"I'm a bit worried about leaving that gigolo to you. I think it's better if you let me handle him."

Li Yi shook his head, drank a bottle of Mana Spring, and nocked his bow, firing three Overlord Arrows at Ashy Sky who was whirling around.

[Interrupted! Interrupted! Interrupted!]

Compared to Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, Ashy Sky's HP was much lower. The three Overlord Arrows struck him dead on, instantly annihilating him. Prague, who was standing beside Ashy Sky, was not spared from the attack as well. He was struck three times by Overlord Arrow's shockwaves and had he not activated his Magic Shield; he would have perished along with Ashy Sky.

Ouyang Qian continued her guidance animations as she snorted at Li Yi. "Are you afraid that I'll leave with the gigolo?"

"Yeah."

"What do you take me for? Please, can you stop with that nonsense…"

"You're my girlfriend. You got a problem with that?"

"When did I become your girlfriend?"

"In my previous life, and in this life as well! You're not going to escape even in my next life!"

"Shameless!"

The players below could not hear the conversation between the two. All they could see was that their mouths were moving along with their hands.

"Is this big-breasted lady about to fall for him as well?"

"Damn, she's like a fresh flower at that… Tsk…"

The players below had mistaken their actions for a lovers' quarrel, and the ones who were weak-willed suffered massive blows. They had begun spewing expletives.

"Thud! Thud! Thud…"

Li Yi's actions were swift, and while he circled Prague, he constantly fired his arrows. Prague's movements were messy, and every spell he released could not hit Li Yi. It was clear that he was the loser in this aerial battle against Li Yi.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Ouyang Qian timed her shots accurately, and fired a series of Fire Meteors, striking Prague's body. Her ambush was as vicious as it was precise, the Fire Meteors struck just as Prague's Magic Shield disappeared.

Prague was dead. He had not lost to Li Yi even after engaging in half-a-days' worth of combat, but he had forgotten about the big-chested woman…

"Spectacular!"

Li Yi gave Ouyang Qian a thumbs' up.

Using her Levitation Skill, Ouyang Qian slowly descended onto the ground. At the same time, she summoned a Meteor Fire Shower to burn the players who had gathered below to intercept her to cinders.

Li Yi flew back to her, grabbed her petite waist, and hugged her.

"I don't need your help. I can head down myself."

Li Yi paid her no mind. He carried her all the way to Onyxia's back, and only then, did he finally let her down.

"Fire your skills on the dragon's back. Do you want to die, heading down there like that?"

Ashy Sky and Prague were dead, and the Legendary Tribe players below were scattered. Jiaojiao and The Cat that Sings were working together, and the eight hundred or so Huashan members had stood back up under Scumbag Wang's commands. They gave a thunderous war cry and cleaned up the remaining stragglers.

3 minutes later, there was not a single Legendary Tribe member left on the battlefield. They were all crumpled on the ground.

Scumbag Wang stepped on Prague's corpse, lowered his head slightly, flashed a cool pose, and ordered his subordinates to take a picture of him.

No explanations were required to know that the bunch of retards had once again, attributed the glory of the Legendary Tribe's destruction to Scumbag Wang.

In an inspirational tone, Scumbag Wang expressed, "Wing of the Iron Alliance, and Wang of Huashan. Together, we execute those who stand in our way, humans and humans alike."

"Leader Scum, why did you need to say humans twice?"

"Who else can stand in our way aside from humans?"

The subordinate scratched his head before replying, "Well, I have been stopped by the pets of Archers, the dogs of Summoners, and even combat mounts."

Scumbag Wang's face contorted into an ugly expression. Lonely Perfume, who was standing beside them, leaped into action, and gave the subordinate a brutal finger flicking, causing the underling to cry in agony as he covered his head.

Scumbag Wang scratched his head. "Why are you hitting him?"

"Give me a reason, and that'll become my excuse."

Scumbag Wang narrowed his eyes, and after staring for quite some time, he gave Lonely Perfume a huge thumbs' up. "Your IQ has soared by leaps and bounds. God damn, it seriously makes me consider hanging out with Third Brother for a few days."

…

More and more players were flooding towards the Soul Gate's northern entrance, including the Iron Alliance's and Windcloud Clan's troops. The Legendary Tribe did not even get the chance to regroup before they were immediately routed.

The Cat that Sings' rage was still burning brightly, and she relentlessly pursued the members of the Legendary Tribe. As for Fengxi, he had disappeared midway through the battle, and he had not reappeared. Nobody knew his whereabouts.

Sister Windcloud Nine was still standing around like a dummy. She had already dropped almost all her equipment and was left with a tattered cape, which was barely enough to cover her body.

"Hubby, boohoohooo. I don't want to be Queen anymore," choked Sister Windcloud Nine the instant she spotted Brother Windcloud Nine.

"Why though? Did other players scold you?"

"They called me a dominatrix. Though I'm not too sure what that means, I feel that it's not something good."

"Motherf*ckers!" Brother Windcloud Nine fumingly spat out. He immediately issued a bounty to hunt down all Legendary Tribe players.

Li Yi ordered his party members to wait back at the dungeon, and once that was done, he logged out and headed directly towards Jiaojiao's room.

Inside the room, Jiaojiao, Fire Ice, and Qian'er were huddled together. They were still inside the game.

"You… Y-Y-Y-Y-You…"

Jiaojiao took off her goggles, and her expression was slightly pale. Fire Ice and Qian'er were beside her, and it was possible for them to take off the goggles at any moment. Should they spot them…

"Send me the playthrough."

"Call me your sister."

"…"

Jiaojiao bit her lips as she glared at him. If looks could kill, he would have died at least ten thousand times now.

"What're you glaring at? Send me the video, quickly."

"You brute!"

With a flushed face, Jiaojiao put back on her goggles and sent the playthrough to Li Yi's in-game character.

"Stop bothering me. I still need to exact my vengeance along with Cat!"

Thus, he returned with a feeling of satisfaction.

Qian'er was aware of everything that had transpired just now. However, she did not object. What did that mean? It meant that she had no ill-will toward Li Yi. Otherwise, with her personality, she would definitely not act that way.

After living several years with Qian'er, Li Yi was well acquainted with her personality.

Li Yi ran back to his room, excitedly entered the game, and opened Jiaojiao's mail.

The mail was titled, 'Take this, Lil Yi'zi', and within it, was a video file.

After clicking the video file, it displayed the combat experience Jiaojiao and her party had gone through.

The six-man party were attempting Advanced Mode, which was a tier higher than Normal Mode. Before that, one should know that the Soul Gate's design was extremely ridiculous, and Li Yi's 25-man party had been annihilated several times even in Normal Mode. As such, the fact that the six of them had cleared Advanced Mode was an incomprehensible feat to many.

Li Yi was only one out of the who-knows-how-many players who were willing to pay vast sums of money in order to view their playthrough.

After watching the video for some time, Li Yi was speechless. The playthrough that Lady Jiao had recorded… was f*cking complete, in every sense of the word. She had constantly recorded her playthrough, from her entrance into the dungeon, and she did not pause for a single moment. Her recording time was the exact duration that they used to finish the dungeon.

Li Yi fast-forwarded constantly. Jiaojiao and her party had taken several days to clear it, and as such, even though he fast-forwarded, he still needed quite some time in order to locate the part he wanted.

While watching the playthrough, Li Yi messaged Jiaojiao in frustration. "Do you see anyone else recording playthroughs the way you're doing it? From start to finish, without any cuts at all?"

"What's that? What's wrong with my recording? If you don't like it, don't watch it!"

"Oho, I'll disown my surname if I don't xxx you up tonight."

"Pah!"

While he engaged in a verbal battle with Jiaojiao, Li Yi had entered the dungeon once again. He rushed towards the Soul Abyss, and as of that moment, both guilds were rushing their progress. The Legendary Tribe was about to catch up as well, and as such, time was of the essence. Not a single moment could be wasted.

Back in his past life, it was Reigning the World who had claimed the Soul Gate's first kill. Li Yi knew that, but even so, he could not shake the feeling that the Legendary Tribe was the most likely to claim the first kill this time around.

Back in his past life, the Fluttering Snow Alliance was not as high profile as they were currently. The only reason they were acting this way now, was to repel the Iron Alliance.

Only when Li Yi had reached the Soul Abyss, did Li Yi finally reach the part where Jiaojiao and her party fought the Soul King.

The Soul King in the video had a head and legs. In fact, it had a complete body. Li Yi rewound the video back and forth, and at last, he finally understood why the Soul King's complete body appeared within Advanced Mode.

"Oh, so that's how it is…"

…Scumbag Wang's words are a modified version of an idiom; the original version is 'execute any Buddhas or humans that stand in the way'.
