Traveling through the game world

"You are inciting the Burning Legion's hatred! Human!" Kijaldan's face was ashen, his anger almost bursting from his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Planet Traveler, do you think you have the strength to defeat me, Kijaldan, and the entire Burning Legion?!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Lian Yang waved his hand dismissively and said, "A fraudster is a fraudster. You think you can threaten me with just a phantom? Mountain-Shattering Strike!"

"Bastard! You're asking for death!" Kigaldan was instantly enraged. How dare this insignificant human speak to him like that!

"Even if it's an illusion! My illusion, Kijaldan's, is enough to kill you! Dark Shockwave!"

The vast majority of the Burning Legion actually use dark energy, and even high-ranking commanders like Kygardan are no exception.

It's not a matter of good versus evil, but rather that among elemental energies, dark energy is far more destructive. The Burning Legion, whose goal is to destroy the world, would naturally prioritize the pursuit of the powerful dark energy.

"Mountain-Shattering Earth-Splitting Slash!" Faced with Kigaldan's dark shockwave, Lian Yang decisively unleashed his signature move, Mountain-Shattering Earth-Splitting Slash.

Essentially, both Dark Shockwave and Mountain-Shattering Slash are energy release skills. In fact, the only way to counter energy release skills, besides passive defense, is to use the same energy release skills.

"Damn it!" With two skills in one move, Kigaldan was horrified to discover that although Lian Yang's strength was not as good as his own, defeating this phantom was not difficult at all.

As expected, in a head-on collision, Lian Yang's Mountain-Shattering Earth-Splitting Slash directly tore Kigaldan's dark shockwave to shreds, and then continued to roar toward Kigaldan with undiminished power.

"Damn...humans!" Kigaldan's phantom, having taken a hit from Lian Yang, was no longer as solid as it seemed, and even its voice began to break off!

"Hahaha..." Lian Yang laughed wildly when he saw Kigaldan become illusory in a single move: "What kind of damned fraudster is this? Is this all the strength you have? Even if I can't kill you, shattering this illusion of yours is a good thing!"

"Damn it! Let's see who's stronger!" Kigaldan was still furious, raising his hand with a desperate stance and unleashing another spell at Lian Yang.

"Blood Blade!" Lian Yang raised his hand and unleashed a Blood Blade attack, instantly shattering Kigaldan's energy blast.

"Triple Slash!" Having landed a successful blow, Lian Yang decisively rushed towards Kigaldan before Kigaldan could react.

"Die!" As soon as he got close, Lian Yang prepared to unleash a deadly attack.

"Lianyang, retreat quickly! There's a problem with Kigaldan!"

"Fierce Dragon Sky-Splitting Slash!"

Before Lian Yang could even touch Kigaldan, the Hope System had already detected the problem. In the heat of the moment, there was no way to explain it.

Fortunately, Lian Yang and the Hope System had been cooperating for a long time. When the Hope System ordered a retreat, Lian Yang immediately raised his hand and used the Fierce Dragon Sky-Splitting Slash to create distance as quickly as possible.

"Finger of Death!" Sure enough, as soon as Lian Yang dodged, Kigaldan's raised right hand instantly released a scarlet beam of light, and wherever the light passed, everything turned into nothingness.

"Damn it, Kigaldan, you're so cunning!" Lian Yang didn't even need the system to explain anymore. He immediately understood what was going on. The so-called ghostly phantom's strength being inferior to his own was all an illusion created to deceive him, and he had actually believed it.

"Lian Yang, be careful. Although he is an illusion, I have discovered that the energy channel between him and the real body is very strong. According to my calculations, he has at least 50% of the strength of the real body!" Hope System's detection is very accurate. If it is more than 50%, then it is at least 50%. The reason for the uncertainty is that we cannot determine the specific energy indicators of Kigaldan at this time, as well as the state of the real body.

"Oh ho, you've been discovered! What clever humans you are!" Kigaldan's angry expression instantly calmed down, and he said indifferently, "Lian Yang, right? Hmm, I should call you Duke of the Demon Sword. I, Kigaldan, will remember the fact that you helped me teach my three stupid subordinates a lesson!"

"What do you mean?!" Lian Yang's expression changed drastically upon hearing Kigaldan's words and seeing his expression. He instantly looked around: "Where are the corpses?!" In an instant, all three corpses of the Dreadlords had vanished.

"You truly are a fraudster; your initial anger really fooled me!" Lian Yang chuckled self-deprecatingly. When the corpses of the three Dreadlords disappeared, Lian Yang knew he had lost. At least in this confrontation, he had not defeated Kigaldan.

Lian Yang shook his head and said, "I should have thought of that earlier. It's just three Nathrezim, why would it be worth getting so angry, Kigaldan! You miscalculated!"

"Haha, it's not too late for you to come to your senses now. Come to think of it, it seems you do have the strength to spar with me. Next time, I'll have Archimonde come and have a chat with you. When it comes to fighting, I'm really not that good at it!" Kigaldan smiled faintly, naturally in a great mood after achieving his goal.

After all, World of Warcraft is a fantasy world, and life and death are not absolute, especially when such matters happen to high-ranking demons like dreadlords, especially when the corpses of these high-ranking demons are still around. Although the wounds to the soul are difficult to heal, they are never beyond repair.

In other words, aside from being genuinely angry at the beginning, all of Kijaldan's subsequent attacks and actions were actually feigned, with only one purpose: to find an opportunity to seize the corpses of the three dreadlords.

“Archimonde!” Lian Yang shook his head indifferently and said, “The day Archimonde stepped into Azeroth was the day he died. He was too stupid!”

It's not that Lian Yang looks down on Archimonde; in terms of strength, Archimonde is far stronger than Kigardan. However, in terms of cunning and strategy, Archimonde is indeed far inferior to Kigardan.

"Heh, whether someone is stupid or not, you'll only know after you fight them. But I still thank you for giving me the chance to save these three idiots. You know, the Scourge still needs their leadership!" Kijaldan shook his head, showing no interest in slandering Archimonde behind his back.

The relationship between Archimonde and Kygard is actually quite strange. They are, after all, of the same race, colleagues, and allies, but since they are both leaders of their respective forces, their true nature is that they are outwardly friendly but inwardly at odds. Therefore, Kygard would never say anything about Archimonde outside, as that would cause war. Sargeras has not completely fallen yet, and he dares not provoke a civil war within the Burning Legion.

"Demons, you will surely fail!"

Just as Lian Yang and Kigaldan were facing off, a cheerful and resolute voice rang in Kigaldan's ears.

"Arthas, is it? I remember, I remember Ner'zhul seemed to want you to become his body, but it seems his plan has failed!" Kijaldan's heart skipped a beat as he looked at the arriving Arthas. Arthas could actually wield Frostmourne without being affected; this was simply terrifying.

For Kigaldan, this was the first time he had ever discovered that someone could actually evade the machinations of the soul, because there were almost no people who cultivated the soul.

"Evil will surely fail. I'm sorry, all your schemes have not harmed my disciple; on the contrary, they have brought him success!" Uther had appeared beside Lian Yang at some point, his body radiating holy light energy, and he looked at Kijaldan with a solemn expression.

"Have I been here too long? You've all come!" Kijardan looked at the growing number of powerful figures from Lordaeron gathered in the grove on the outskirts of Lordaeron, and smiled slightly. "I am the great god Kijardan. Believe in me and you will gain immense power! Eternal life!"

Kijaldan's language was naturally extremely seductive; his voice, enveloped in surging magic, could almost cover the entire Lordaeron. The deceiver Kijaldan would never be at a disadvantage.

"Shut up, demon! You will be judged, you will die eternally!" Lian Yang was startled by Kigardan's actions. If Lordaeron really let Kigardan play around like this, many people would definitely choose to believe in Kigardan. Helpless, Lian Yang could only use this method to intimidate Kigardan. Of course, it was more to reassure ordinary people and prevent them from having any worries.

Before Kijaldan could say anything, Arthas brandished Frostmourne and roared, "Kijaldan, Frostbite!" As he spoke, a chilling sword aura instantly shot towards Kijaldan, whose body was engulfed in flames.

Arthas's sword aura was extremely sharp, and even Kygardan could not underestimate it. He abruptly stopped what he was about to say and instantly dodged Arthas's sword aura.

"Blood Demon Slays Heaven!"

"A just trial!"

"snowstorm!".

"Holy Light!"

With Arthas leading the attack, everyone unleashed their most powerful attacks on Kijaldan. Everyone knew that the best way to shut Kijaldan up was to kill him as quickly as possible.

"Haha! What cowardly humans! We will meet in real life!" Kigaldan, known as the Deceiver, was naturally extremely cunning. Seeing that everyone was preparing to gang up on his phantom, running away was the only sensible thing to do.

After all, although the body is an illusion, the energy comes from the real body. If the energy in the body is lost, Kigaldan cannot accept it. This is outside the plan and is not allowed.

"Goodbye!" Kijaldan said casually as the attack was about to hit him, then vanished in an instant, as if he had never been to Lordaeron.

After a burst of intense energy explosion, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Lian Yang said, "It's a good thing you guys came, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to do anything about him!"

Kigaldan was, after all, a projection, not the real body. Even if Lian Yang paid a heavy price to kill Kigaldan, he would only be killing a phantom, which was of no value whatsoever.

This situation wasn't unique to Lian Yang; it would have been the same even if everyone had come. Everyone would have to pay a huge price to defeat Kigaldan, but they would only be defeating an illusion, which was not worth it.

“The commotion was too great. We were already heading this way the moment Kijaldan appeared,” Arthas said.

Antonidas said calmly, "The commotion is too great. Arthas and Lian Yang, it seems you have successfully disrupted the plans of the Deceiver, Gijaldan. Otherwise, he would never have sent out his true form, or even an illusion. You should know that it has been tens of thousands of years since Gijaldan personally took action!"

Compared to others, Antonidas, as an archmage, knew more about the trickster Gijaldan, after all, the essence of magic is actually the science of the magical world, and science requires a wealth of knowledge.

Nodding, Uther said, "It's good that the plan has been disrupted, but the immediate problem is that we need to organize our forces to jointly resist the Cataclysmic Expedition. I think this is no longer just a problem for humanity alone!"

Uther was, after all, a military commander, and he was more sensitive to warfare, so how to wage war was the primary factor Uther considered.

“Leave the Blood Elves to me!” Antonidas said. “My relationship with them is fairly good; just look at the humans—the plague in the north is a prime example.”

“Very well, I'll leave that matter to you, Archmage Antonidas!” Arthas nodded. Although young, Arthas was undoubtedly the highest-ranking prince at the moment. He continued, “I think I can handle the dwarves myself; my relationship with Muradin is still good!” Even so, Arthas assigned himself a task.

"Leave the equipment problem to me. I'm sure you all know how powerful my equipment is. Arthas, get your money ready!" Lian Yang nodded, and seeing the somewhat tense atmosphere, he joked a bit.

"Money is no problem!" Before Arthas could even speak, a deep, aged, and authoritative voice rang out from afar.

"Greetings, Your Majesty/Father!"

The newcomer was none other than Teneris Menethil.

Within the void rift, Kigaldan stared with an incredibly ferocious expression at Lian Yang and the others who were discussing the matter.

Although Kigaldan's phantom had left, he was still keeping a close eye on Lian Yang. Naturally, Kigaldan knew almost all of Lian Yang and the others' plans.

"These damned humans! No, my plan absolutely cannot fail, absolutely not!" Kigaldan knew, of course, that if Lian Yang and the others' plan succeeded, the Scourge would be doomed, and even the Burning Crusade would not go smoothly. Kigaldan could not accept such a failure.
