Cultivation Online

Chapter 1473 A Single Move

1473 A Single Move

After Yuan spoke with Wang Bingbing and the others through divine sense, he pulled his finger across the zither on his lap, creating a powerful ripple that swept throughout the entire battlefield.

The ripple traversed at the speed of sound, reaching Wang Bingbing and the others in just a few seconds.

As the ripple swept the crowd, every player who had been touched by the ripple was sent tumbling to the ground.

Another ripple appeared a second later. When Wang Bingbing and the others were touched by this ripple, they felt their spiritual energy recover a good amount, more than enough for them to move.

”Come back.” Yuanʼs voice resounded again.

Without hesitation, the three of them stood up and started running back to the Demon Sealing Factionʼs castle.

”T-theyʼre trying to escape! Donʼt let them get away! Chase! Chase after them!” Xu Boqin hastily shouted when he saw this, and he quickly started chasing after them, with the rest of his faction following behind.

Although the Spirit Apprentices and Spirit Warriors were quickly left behind, the Spirit Grandmasters, who were full of energy, quickly caught up with them. However, right when they are about actually to catch up, Yuan interrupts them with the flying daggers.

”Fuck! This must be Player Yuanʼs doing!”

”Why are you still hiding like a coward, Player Yuan?! Come out and face us if you dare! You are the one who challenged us, not the other way around!”

As they approached the Demon Sealing Factionʼs territory, Yuan said to Meifeng, ”I will go now.”

”What about me?”

”Stay here. The others will be returning soon.”

”Okay.”

Yuan turned to face the Fiery Locust Swarm and flew toward their direction.

”P-Player Yuan is finally on the move! And heʼs speeding towards the Fiery Locust Swarm like a bullet!” Yan Xiaoxiaoʼs voice brimmed with excitement as she witnessed the scene, her shout echoing loudly through the air.

”Does he really think heʼll be able to defeat the Fiery Locust Swarm by himself? They still have over 30,000 players left.”

”Does he think he can enter the scene at the last second and defeat the enemy like a hero? What an arrogant and delusional bastard.”

”Why is he so popular, anyway? We donʼt even know his capabilities. He may be a top player in Cultivation Online, but nobody has seen him in action before.”

”I think he was already famous before Cultivation Online. If I recall correctly, he was a musician. Being the number one player in Cultivation Online boosted such popularity.”

”What makes him the number one player? Because he ascends faster than everyone else? I donʼt think that is a good indicator.”

Sometime later, Yuan reached his destination.

The Demon Sealing Faction players stopped running when they saw Yuan. Xu Boqin and everyone else stopped chasing after them and lifted their head to look at Yuan, who hovered above them like a deity.

”Yuan!” Wang Bingbing felt like crying when she saw him, especially after what sheʼd just experienced.

He smiled at her and said, ”Good work, you guys. Regroup with Miss Meifeng and get some rest. I will take care of them now.”

”I can stay behind just in case,” said Shi Lang.

”You can stay here to watch if you want, but you wonʼt have a chance to help.”

”Thatʼs good enough. I want to see how youʼll deal with them.” Shi Lang nodded.

”T-thatʼs not fair! I also want to watch!” Wang Bingbing said.

Wu Zao shook his head and said, ”Guess Iʼll return alone. Donʼt you dare let them get to the castle, Yuan!”

Yuan acknowledged with a confident smile.

As Wu Zao left the scene, Yuan retrieved his sword and swung it at the ground.

Sha!

He engraved a long sword mark in the ground that served as a line, separating him and the Demon Sealing Faction members.

”None of you will make it past this line.”

Yuan declared in a calm voice with an overbearing aura around him.

”Hahaha! You sure act big for someone on the verge of defeat, Player Yuan!” Xu Boqin pointed his sword at Yuan and laughed.

”On the verge of defeat? Who decided that?”

”Open your eyes and see for yourself! You are the only one who can fight from your side while we still have over 32,000 players left! We outnumber you 32,000 to 1! Even you canʼt do anything about this!”

Yuanʼs gaze swept across the army below him, sending chills down their back.

Without saying a word, he retrieved his zither and pulled a single string.

”Heaven Severing Zither Arts!”

Ding~!

A profound ripple swept the battlefield, instantly destroying over 7,000 badges from the Fiery Locust Swarmʼs side.

”Now I am only outnumbered 25,000 to 1,” Yuan spoke in a calm voice a moment later.

”What?!”

Not only the members of the Fiery Locust Swarm but also every single spectator present was shaken to their core by the sight of Yuan effortlessly dispatching 7,000 players in the blink of an eye.

”H-heavens! What did we just witness?! With a single move, Player Yuan eliminated over 7,000 players from the battlefield! What a power play!” Yao Xiaoxiao couldnʼt contain her excitement and started shouting like a fangirl.

The judges who evaluated his techniques stared at the live stream with their jaws touching the ground.

”What monstrous control! I thought it was already amazing enough when he accurately hit 500 targets at once during the evaluation!”

Xia Jingyiʼs expression reflected sheer awe as she murmured, ”What level of mastery and control must one attain to achieve even half of what heʼd just done?”

Meanwhile, Yuan continued speaking as he stared at Xu Boqin, ”I could easily wipe all of you with a single note, but that would take away all the fun, so I only removed those who arenʼt under the effects of performance-enhancing drugs.”

”As for the rest of you… sorry, but Iʼll have you stick around for a little longer.”
