On the contrary... it seems quite weak.
Is this all the humans on the Eastern Continent are capable of?
The troll witch doctor's eyes showed disdain, but he did not do anything more to stop him.
After all, the city lord had instructed that there was indeed a human from the Eastern Yang Continent who was one of their own, and if he came up, they could let him pass first.
Accompanied by the troll general, Shen San cautiously passed through the dense army formation and ascended the stairs until he reached the two other orc generals at the top.
"Heh, the city lord deliberately instructed us that our opponent is an apostle of a false god, and told us to treat him with caution."
The dark-skinned boar-man shaman general watched the troll witch doctor return, a mocking smile spreading across his large, tusked face. "Looks like he's not exactly a genius. He didn't even detect this little spy and let him come back unharmed."
The green-skinned orc general in the middle had the most serious expression, gripping the greatsword with both hands, its tip pressed against the ground.
He stared at "Shen San" for a long time before saying, "Leave now."
As if granted a pardon, Shen San quickly lowered his head and left.
However, before he had taken two steps, a large sword was placed on "Shen San's" shoulder.
"Human friend, isn't this the door you should be going through?"
A deep orc voice came from behind.
Sweat poured down Shen San's forehead. He looked around and saw several doors on the floor, but he didn't know which one to go to.
"Uh, hey, this..."
Shen San became nervous, fidgeted with his fingers, and stammered for a long time, unsure of what to say.
Unfortunately, this scene, brimming with murderous intent, was still a bit frightening for Mingya, who was playing the role of "Shen San" while holding the Myriad Manifestations Ring.
He just hoped that Ye Xiao's arrangements could be completed quickly, because he really couldn't delay any longer.
You see, when he came up the stairs, he took it slow, half-step at a time, just to keep the orcs' attention on him a little longer.
Finally, at that moment, the troll witch doctor seemed to suddenly realize something was wrong. His gaze swept across the wall below, and suddenly turned sharp. "Wait a minute, that's..."
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
Several loud bangs followed in quick succession, and a series of explosions suddenly occurred on the lowest level of the dungeon.
The dazzling flames stirred up a cloud of dust, and the collapsing rubble instantly buried the orcs at the bottom.
The three orc generals immediately sensed something was wrong. The green-skinned orc even swung his sword to cut down "Shen San" in front of him, but a black figure appeared out of thin air without warning.
Ye Xiao, using the throwing knife that Mingya, who was disguised as "Shen San," had in his pocket, teleported directly to the middle of the three orc generals.
When he appeared, his left arm was around the shoulder of the still bewildered boar-man shaman, while his right hand was already gripping the hilt of the sword behind him.
"Oh no! Watch out..."
Before the orc general could finish speaking, a flash of cold light appeared, and the head of the boar-man shaman flew off in astonishment.
What a fast sword!
The orc general, disregarding the imposter "Shen San," bent over and fled to the side, raising his sword and roaring as he met Ye Xiao, whose figure was as elusive as a ghost.
The troll witch doctor immediately jumped back to create distance, raised his staff and threw out a crimson magical light to imbue the orc general with a strengthening spell.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, as Ye Xiao's sword clashed with the orc's greatsword, sparking blinding flashes of light.
Ye Xiao deliberately avoided targeting the orc general, who was clearly more skilled in close combat, for the first kill, because he considered that this guy's strength and vigilance were the highest among the three generals, making him the most difficult to kill.
As it turned out, he was right. With the help of the witch doctor's bloodlust spell, the orc general was able to hold his own against Ye Xiao for a time.
A surge of energy suddenly spread from where the two were fighting, shaking the entire dungeon. Only then did the orc soldiers below notice the fierce battle taking place above.
But before those cumbersome ballistae could even raise their muzzles, a roar like the low murmur of a dragon rang out, accompanied by the melodious sound of a flute. A long dragon, constructed of flowing water, emerged from the smoke rising from the bottom.
"Loose the arrows!!! Loose the arrows!!!"
The goblins below, horrified by the sight, let out a piercing scream. Without a second thought, they unleashed hundreds of arrows, swarming towards the water dragon.
But of course, this was of no use. The enormous dragon head roared and charged forward, opening its massive maw and smashing half of the crossbows in one blow.
The ratman operating the ballista was swept off the building by the overflowing water and fell like a screaming dumpling, crashing down with the broken pieces of the ballista.
The scene became extremely chaotic. Three orc generals were ambushed and killed, and a boar-man shaman was killed. The sword guards and troll witch doctors, relying only on Ye Xiao, gradually began to retreat under Ye Xiao's attack.
Ye Xiao's swordsmanship has reached the peak of the Grandmaster level after six months of life-and-death training, and he also has all sorts of random spells and unique skills that cross different professions.
The orc swordsman and witch doctor duo, both Grandmasters, felt as if they were facing an adventuring party with multiple professions rather than a swordsman.
Fireballs and ice spikes that occasionally burst forth often interrupt the witch doctor's spells, and the flying knives that form a net of magic also become anchor points for Ye Xiao's teleportation.
Despite being imbued with powerful magic, the orc general often struggled to keep up with Ye Xiao's elusive figure. He dared not stray too far from the troll witch doctor behind him, fearing that if he wasn't careful, his companion would be beheaded by that guy in a flash.
Chapter 101 The Black Flame Extinguished
However, the orc general was not in a hurry.
He could see below, where his men were regrouping amidst the raging water dragons.
The dragon looked impressive, but it only managed to destroy some ranged equipment in the chaos. It was still a long way from completely defeating their army of over a hundred men.
As for Ye Xiao, who was launching a fierce attack on him, as long as he could ensure that the troll witch doctor did not die, and continuously heal his injuries and provide him with enhancements from behind, it would only be a matter of time before his own army came from below to encircle and annihilate him.
If they can't take him down, within a minute, or at most two minutes, the soldiers coming up from below will surround him and drag him into a quagmire of attrition warfare.
Even if this guy's methods are so advanced that they can't kill him in a short time, with so many of them, they can wear him down eventually.
In other words, for the orc general, the victory lies in surviving the chaos of the next minute or two and regaining his footing; the offensive pressure is entirely on Ye Xiao's side.
And that was indeed the case. When Ye Xiao used this method to flank and attack from behind, he had already considered that if he failed to take down the three orc generals in a short time, he would be surrounded and have no way to retreat.
Despite having killed a boarman shaman beforehand, the greatsword-wielding commander and his troll witch doctor lieutenant were indeed like a turtle shell, difficult to break through at first.
After several rounds of fighting, the scattered sword energy cleaved the dungeon's surroundings into ravines.
The orc general was blessed by the witch doctor and the shamanic group downstairs who had recovered, with various colorful halos stacked together, like an old sow wearing a condom, one after another.
The wounds he sustained were quickly healed, while Ye Xiao's trench coat was torn and tattered from his intense focus on attacking.
Taking advantage of the distance, the troll witch doctor brandished his scepter and cast a chain lightning spell. The thick, deep blue bolt of lightning streaked through the air like a dragon and pounced towards Ye Xiao.
As soon as Ye Xiao dodged, the ground was blasted into a charred mess, like a blue firework exploding in the lightning.
Several orange-red magic circles lit up on the ground, and a pottery jar with a cobra's head emerged from the magic circles, opening its fangs and extending its neck to spew venom at Ye Xiao.
The relentless barrage of these insidious weapons forced Ye Xiao to dodge and create distance again. During these delays, the soldiers downstairs caught up from the steps.
The ballistae roared, and the koi, temporarily concealed by the smoke and dust, revealed its slender form at the bottom level, as it was approached by a group of orc shield guards who regrouped and forced its way up.
Mingya had already removed the disguise of the Myriad Manifestations Ring and returned to his original appearance, but at most, his swordplay could only stop two soldiers at the stairwell, having little impact on the overall situation.
Their battle plan was to assassinate the three generals as quickly as possible, but the price was that if they lost the initiative, none of the three could escape.
"I must say, you do have some human cunning, causing me to lose a brother."
Seeing his men surround him, the orc general spoke in a low voice, his eyes fierce as he stared at Ye Xiao.
"But that's all. Don't try to take another step forward and offend the glory of the Mother Goddess."
"Don't you believe in those two beast gods? You three-surname traitors, you change your beliefs pretty quickly."
The dark mass of orc soldiers pressed down like a storm cloud, forcing Ye Xiao into a corner with no way out. Forget about killing the orc general; even getting close became a problem.
Even when imprisoned, Ye Xiao simply smiled nonchalantly.
"Ha, let's see if a wine glass made from your skull can be as hard as your mouth!"
The orc general suddenly let out a low roar, and crimson mist rose from his solid, dark green muscles.
The troll witch doctor behind him, holding his scepter in both hands, jumped and danced, chanting incantations.
"Ancestor spirits, awaken the slumbering Mother Earth, grant me boiling blood and inexhaustible power..."
With each syllable of the incantation uttered from the troll's mouth, the orc swordsman's aura rose steadily.
Just now, he was facing Ye Xiao alone, and it would have been too risky to use all his strength and go all out.
Now, soldiers surged from all sides of the steps, surrounding Ye Xiao in layers. He no longer needed to worry about the witch doctor's safety and could confidently strengthen himself to the maximum extent to kill this human villain here.
As the last syllable of the troll witch doctor and the shamanic band's shout faded, the orc general's momentum reached its peak.
Feeling the power of his ancestors coursing through his body, the orc general gripped his greatsword, pointed it at Ye Xiao, and let out a triumphant shout, "Waaaaaagh!!!"
"Prepare to die, humans!!!"
With such immense power, what in this world could possibly stop him?!
"We've finally waited for you all to get together."
A leisurely voice rang out, but Ye Xiao, surrounded by layers of soldiers, simply stroked the blade of his sword with his left hand.
"Honey, can I borrow a light?"
Black flames surged from his palm, smearing them onto the sword and turning the snow-white blade into a blazing inky blackness.
Ye Xiao's plans always include a branch.
Since we can't kill them quickly before they're surrounded, let's just use more magic to kill the surrounding army and these two orc generals together.
While time was frozen on Ella's side, Ye Xiao's true target of prayer was actually Lydia, the great sun in the void that was not bound by time.
No matter which timeline Ye Xiao is in, Lydia is always able to respond to him.
The immense magical power emanating from the dark flames made the hot-blooded orc general realize something was wrong. He calmed down from the exhilarating feeling brought on by the powerful force surrounding him, and the more he sensed it, the more horrified he became by the black fire attached to the human longsword.
The oppressive atmosphere emanating from the walls caused all the black-armored orcs on the floor to involuntarily hold their breath.
"Wait... wait a moment, human, I think we might be able to reconcile..."
"It's too late."
Ye Xiao raised his flaming longsword and drew a sun symbol on his chest with his left hand.
"May the Holy Maiden rest in peace."
With that, he drew his longsword.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
As the sword tip sliced through the air, the black flames compressed into a slender arc, cleaving the dark dungeon in two.
The orc general's vision seemed to be sliced apart by an extremely thin black line, crisscrossing and breaking.
Heavy armored orcs, ferocious roaring ratmen, tungsten-iron ballistae, and a shamanic order chanting loudly... were all sliced into two ends of the scene, slowly pierced through the battle formation by that slender slash.
The scene fell into an extreme silence for a moment, and then, amidst deafening roar, a violent explosion erupted.
The thin black lines, no longer bound, suddenly expanded, becoming what seemed like an endless wave of fire that instantly engulfed half the orcs in the dungeon.
Chapter 102 The Black Hand
"I'll be good."
Mingya handed the Myriad Manifestations Ring back to Ye Xiao, looked up at the collapsing dungeon in the black sea of fire, and swallowed hard.
"Brother Ye... are you some kind of legendary cheater?"
If Mingya was still a bit confused about the situation on the deserted island, now that she could connect to the player forum in Thunder City, she could easily discover the incredible strength of Ye Xiao after just a casual browse.
Other posts are discussing strategies for conquering goblin caves, the apprenticeship skill system, or complaining about how the city guards look down on people.
This guy can already wipe out a small orc army single-handedly with a single sword strike.
Aside from cheating, Mingya couldn't think of any other possibility.
Even the World Tree system's favorite son isn't this bad... No, this is worse than the system's own father.
"Don't talk nonsense, this is all from hard work and sweat."
Ye Xiao put the ring back on her hand and patted Mingya on the shoulder, saying, "You are also very talented and will be better than me in the future."
"Haha."
Mingya recalled how he had just been beaten and sent running around in circles by two orc guards, and realized that the joke wasn't funny at all.
The three regrouped at the entrance to the top of the dungeon. The five-story dungeon had completely collapsed, but the orc army was not entirely wiped out; some survivors could still be heard howling as they were crushed under the rubble.
Unable to bear watching this scene, the koi played a tune on its flute and used the water flow to carry some of the seriously wounded orc soldiers to an open area that had not yet completely collapsed.
