MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

The video of the Fluttering Snow Alliance’s Deathwing kill could be easily searched on the official website. However, any party that tried to emulate it was annihilated by Deathwing. The furthest any party had gotten was the Shattered Void phase.

Bai Xiaoya played a valuable role in this matter. Seeing everyone suffering such horrible fates, she started a thread pointing out tactics and giving advice to any who asked. Her efforts did not amount to anything, as despite her advice, every party that attempted to defeat Deathwing ended up dead.

In the short run, it seemed like nothing but as time passed, it left people pondering whether the b*tch with a sweet mouth was playing them?

As time went on, players grew to suspect Bai Xiaoya had a secret agenda, and gradually, the forums began to explode in anger.

Every day, there were people who followed her tactics, yet nothing had changed. While they were facing TPK after TPK, Bai Xiaoya was adamant that if they persisted, they would achieve victory.

Many of the players did not care whether or not they cleared the dungeon, but they adopted a different attitude when people fooled them.

“Bai Xiaoya, you b*tch! Have you seen how that c*nt dug a hole for us to jump into? I found it strange that the Windcloud Clan and Iron Alliance never tried to kill Deathwing, but now I get it, they were taking precautionary measures. Only us idiots would take that b*tch, Bai Xiaoya’s advice on it. F*ck me…”

“F*ck me…”

Surely, after being fooled for this long, people would have figured out what was going on. Cusses flooded the forums, flushing Bai Xiaoya’s originally impeccable reputation down the drain.

In fact, that was the reason why the Windcloud Clan and Iron Alliance did not attempt to kill Deathwing. Li Yi knew that Bai Xiaoya was lying. Hence, he did not try to fight Deathwing.

What was the point of watching the video? In his past life, Li Yi had witnessed many of Bai Xiaoya’s tricks.

Bai Xiaoya may be a good-for-nothing, but she was an expert in passing the blame. The video she published was real but the key person in the video was glossed over.

Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut!

In other words, Deathwing’s first kill should be credited to two individuals. One was the legendary Summoner, The Mountain. The Territory barrier he unleashed had slowed down the Shattered Void. The other person was Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut who positioned herself within Deathwing’s belly, single-handedly dealing the fatal blow.

Bai Xiaoya was sly, she claimed that Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s ability to remain alive in the dragon’s belly was due to stacking Fire Resistance.

“With enough Fire Resistance, you won’t die,” This was what Bai Xiaoya said in the forums.

Many believed this, desperately amassing Fire Resistance equipment. Some players spared no expense to increase their Fire Resistance until it was over 90 points. A few almost hit the full 100 points.

In the end, their attempts at running into its belly, even with 90 over points of Fire Resistance, resulted in them being incinerated…

Then came a player called Flying Pig Candy. He had risked it all and spent tens of thousands of Yuan to get his hands on a 100-point Fire Resistance equipment set. He confidently challenged Deathwing but one gentle breath from the ancient dragon killed him instantly.

Fire Resistance may be useful against normal Fire-type monsters, but it was useless against Deathwing…

“Bai Xiaoya, I’m gonna f*ck your mouth!” Failing in his mission, Flying Pig Candy lay on the ground and shared in the anger many players held towards Bai Xiaoya.

That prankster was completely despised…

…

Li Yi announced to the Iron Alliance that they would not be tackling Deathwing currently. He relayed the same information to Brother Windcloud Nine. However, he made it known that he would not stop anyone who wanted to challenge it. They were free to make their own decisions.

Sometimes, forcefully restricting people from doing something, even though it is the right thing to do, will result in growing resentment against the leadership. This was due to people not understanding the reasoning behind the restriction.

Li Yi had made his public announcement for this reason.

Having been a Guild Master for more than 3 years, his experience in management has bloomed. He wanted his subordinates to believe in him, not simply revere him.

Fueled by curiosity, many from the Iron Alliance attempted the Deathwing dungeon. Predictably, they all failed.

On the seventh day of Bai Xiaoya’s posting, while Li Yi, Qian’er and the others were busy farming monsters at the Foreignland Entrance, Li Yi was greeted by some interesting news when he tuned into the Alliance Channel.

“The Iron Alliance’s Huashan is formally tackling Deathwing, requesting blessing!”

“The Iron Alliance’s Huashan is formally tackling Deathwing, requesting blessing!”

“The Iron Alliance’s Huashan is formally tackling Deathwing, requesting blessing!”

The spammer was none other than Huashan’s Scumbag Wang.

Fortunately, Li Yi had the foresight to give Huashan’s eight hundred members their own channel. This made it so that within the guild, only Scumbag Wang had the right to speak in the Alliance Channel, otherwise, nothing in the Alliance Channel would see the light of day…

There was a player named Mr Goody Two-shoes that asked in the Alliance Channel, “Leader Scum, what’s the overall level of your Huashan?”

Scumbag Wang replied, “Overall? We range from Level 12 to over 100, so there’s no, overall.”

“Leader Scum, I think it’s best you don’t go. Just the day before yesterday, Xunfeng Gelaosha brought five hundred elites, with the lowest level of 101, there and they were all dead after three moves. I can send you a video if you don’t believe me. You’ll understand once you see it.”

“There’s no need for that.”

Mr Goody Two-shoes asked, “Why not?”

“Your IQ’s too low. Let me ask you, which is more? Five hundred or eight hundred? If five hundred and eight hundred men stabbed each other with knives, who would win?”

“Stab each other? If it’s one by one… Of course, the eight hundred would win.”

“Isn’t that straightforward? We, of Huashan, are eight hundred men. I really worry about your IQ level.”

“Er… but…”

“The Iron Alliance’s Huashan is formally tackling Deathwing, requesting blessing!”

“The Iron Alliance’s Huashan is formally tackling Deathwing, requesting blessing!”

There was nothing more Mr Goody Two-shoes could say since Scumbag Wang’s mind was made up. In the midst of shouting and spamming, the eight hundred members of Huashan marched towards Black Rock Mountain.

Ever since joining the Iron Alliance, Huashan had been brazenly strutting around various major cities.

“The Iron Alliance’s Huashan is formally tackling Deathwing, requesting blessing!”

Huashan’s eight hundred members chanted as they marched. Their imposing manner was as though they were going to war.

Li Yi did not put a stop to this because there was no need to.

…

Szh szh szh szh…

Li Yi stood still as he fired around to lure monsters while Jiaojiao and Qian’er had their backs against one another as they vaporized the incoming demons.

Little Elf from the Magical Realm and the Xu sisters were missing today. Fire Ice had errands to run so only these three were out farming monsters.

Ding!

“Little Brother Dark Wing, where are you?”

While he was luring monsters, Li Yi received a private voice message. The coquettish voice was a dead giveaway that it was Hua Feihua.

Lately, Hua Feihua seemed to be up to something, sending a message to Li Yi daily, tempting the latter to blacklist her. However, she was rather sharp, as each time Li Yi was about to blow his top, she would vanish. Li Yi replied while he fired shots, “Level grinding.”

“I’m also at the Foreignland Entrance. Hehe, Little Brother Wang’er invited me to fight Deathwing earlier but I don’t have the guts to go.”

Li Yi replied curtly, “Oh…”

Not willing to converse with her, he was hoping that being terse would make her disappear.

“Little Brother Wang’er isn’t a bad guy. He’s good but has just a little… Hehe, a different way of thinking.”

Li Yi did not respond.

“Oh right, I followed a treasure map a few days ago and dug up an Axolotl mount. I afraid to ride it because of horrifying appearance…”

Li Yi still did not respond as his patience was running thin.

“Mm, about that, Little Brother Dark Wing. I’ve been looking for you because of something.”

Ding!

Hua Feihua sent a photo over. Li Yi took a look and found a real-life photo of Princess Huaiyu.

“Did you see it? This is my cousin. She told me to look for you because she wants to apologize for some previous issue.”

Li Yi was amused by Hua Feihua’s words.

He finally understood why Tyrant Sword King the Fifth and Princess Huaiyu were talking about him in the Mermaid Village.

That self-proclaimed delicate woman was plotting to honey trap him?

An idea popped into his mind, Li Yi answered Hua Feihua, “Previous issue?”

Hua Feihua swiftly replied, “Oh yes, oh yes. You tried to kill her, and she scolded you, but now she feels she was in the wrong. She asked me to apologize on her behalf and wants to get to know you better.”

“She’s your cousin?”

“Oh yes, oh yes. She went to America when she was young, so we’ve only been in contact for the past few years.”

“Little Brother Dark Wing, will you forgive her?”

“Of course, I will, I forgive her now. It’s alright.”

“Little Brother, you’re a good guy.”

Li Yi ignored both his rising goosebumps and his conscience to agree with her.

Were it not for the conversation between Tyrant Sword King the Fifth and Princess Huaiyu, he would not have paid any attention to the fact that they were cousins. He responded to Hua Feihua the way he did because he wanted to find out what Tyrant Sword King the Fifth and Princess Huaiyu planned to do to him.

“Little Brother, why don’t we do this? I’ll find a time for you two to meet up and she’ll apologize face to face. What do you say?”

“No problemo,” Li Yi answered in a Guangdong dialect.

“Lil Yi’zi, are you chatting up another girl?” Jiaojiao raised her greatsword as she narrowed her eyes like a cat at Li Yi.

“I’m chatting up Old Xie’s daughter.”

“Scram!”

“The Seventh Demon God Altar’s up there. The General Demon Goat’s spawned. Everyone in the Iron Alliance, swiftly make your way here to assist!”

A shout was heard in the Alliance Channel, prompting Li Yi to stop luring monsters.

Among the twelves Demonic Tribe generals, the General Demon Goat has the lowest spawn rate and the was rarest. Everyone was looking for this boss for the sake of getting 120% for the Miracle of Will quest.

Li Yi and the others were also searching!
