Dark Sand: My Players Are All Actors-Chapter 565 - 283 New Dynasty_4

In Linyuan City, Beichen had just stepped out of the City Lord Mansion.

As he appeared, the players felt the righteous qi of the great vastness being drawn away from them and concentrated, rising along with the righteousness of the mountains, rivers, and plants in the entire slice of history!

Beichen rode the wind with an ethereal agility, climbing the stairs constructed of righteous qi towards the sky. As he appeared, the entire historical slice also began to rumble with vibrations. The invisible stars in the sky and the mountains and rivers on the ground seemed to gather the righteous qi and surround him.

"Those who disturb Huaxia, though far away, shall be punished!"

With a furious shout, Beichen held a longsword formed of righteous qi, which shone brilliantly and struck directly at Xingtian’s head!

This sword slashed down directly from above Linyuan City and landed on Xingtian’s raised shield.

"Shua!"

The Demonic Qi attached to the shield scattered instantly, like snow meeting blazing sun.

"Return Order Expedition!"

Xingtian roared in rage. Suddenly, he threw away the shield that was blocking the righteous qi, allowing the longsword to pierce through his body. Then, with his right hand, he hurled the huge axe he was holding!

"Wu!"

In the whistling sound of cleaving the air, the axe whirled in the sky, absorbing Demonic Qi, and then struck Beichen directly in the air!

With a "shua," Beichen instantly dispersed into myriad righteous qi, neutralizing the impact of the giant axe and the Demonic Qi.

However, the longsword, comprised entirely of righteous qi, solidly split Xingtian in two.

The two halves of the giant demon fell to the ground with a crash, even in its last moments muttering, "It really is a feint..."

Xingtian knew well that even if the axe had struck the real body, it couldn’t have killed the Return Order Expedition member.

The power comparison between the two sides had already reversed due to the changing circumstances.

The righteous qi of the Return Order Expedition had overwhelmed the demonic power, and Xingtian’s final desperate strike couldn’t have changed the course of fate.

But no matter what, weakening the Return Order Expedition member before death, the split form that contained eighty percent of his strength, wasn’t wasted.

As it turned out, it wasn’t the real body that appeared in the final phase...

The split form could activate a bit less of the righteous qi.

To ensure surefire success, and to seal the deal, it really should have been the actual body that struck with the sword.

However... it just didn’t appear.

The two massive halves of Xingtian gradually dissipated amid his resentful murmurs.

As he dissipated, the entire historical slice erupted with powerful righteous qi, which eradicated the remaining few demonic soldiers!

The players, who were already in their spiritual body state, once again witnessed the entire process.

This was still their first real sight of annihilating a great demon.

Although it was just a split form, the split form that possessed seventy to eighty percent of its power hardly differed from the real body.

"No matter how many times I watch it, this cutscene animation is still pretty cool."

"Cool it is, but I’m a bit puzzled why the demon threw its powerful moves randomly?"

"We didn’t implement any special tactical arrangements, did we?"

"Stop thinking about it, the Return Order Expedition was basically meant to be a guaranteed victory; after all, it’s just a game. It wouldn’t make sense for the demon to wipe out players."

"Exactly, the Return Order Expedition is just a way for us to have fun without overthinking."

"That means we can level up now, right?"

"See you on the forums!"

"Bye everyone, see you later!"

...

With the victory of the Return Order Expedition, a misty haze once more enveloped the players’ endeavors.

Soon, the players vanished, leaving only Meng Yuan and Shenshang in the entire historical slice.

Shenshang still floated in the air, continually absorbing the residual power in this historical slice.

The demonic power that the demons had infused into the historical slice to distort it, and the large amounts of Demonic Qi that had dispersed after Xingtian’s split form was slain, were all absorbed by Shenshang, becoming the power of the Return Order Expedition.

At this moment, she was around twenty years old, in the prime of her youth, her long hair fluttering in the air, her whole body seemingly nurturing immense power.

"This feeling... it’s wonderful."

Shenshang looked at her own hands with a complex expression.

It had been a long time since she had felt this powerful.

Meng Yuan fell silent for a moment and then asked, "So, what age should your strongest, prime state appear as?"

Shenshang thought for a moment, "Theoretically, the appearance of my prime state should be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old."

"Right now, I’ve reached about seventy percent of my peak state, which is much faster than I anticipated."

"After all, directly slaying Xingtian’s split form and forcing Feilian to leave behind a substantial amount of Demonic Qi. Reaching this achievement in the Qi Dynasty’s historical slice makes you quite unique."

The implication was clear, other Return Order Expedition members, even if they had cleared the Qi Dynasty’s historical slice, had not managed to enhance her strength to this extent.

It was understandable.

Like vanquishing a monster and looting its treasures, monsters would flee upon sensing danger, and the amount of Demonic Qi a Return Order Expedition member could absorb depended on their own abilities.

Although Meng Yuan wasn’t particularly strong in various aspects, with the cooperation of players, he achieved almost perfect results in every battle.

"It’s a pity. I still think your previous incarnation was more fun." Meng Yuan remarked.

Shenshang blinked, "What?"

Meng Yuan shook his head, "Nevermind, let’s look at the next dynasty."
