Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 326 Defending the Title
Although it was Khufu who faced the Supreme Honor, it was not enough to stop his attack head-on. Khufu had to transfer the energy of the "pyramid" to the other seven great pharaohs who were on the outermost line to resist the continuous attack of the little angels. His strength was not as good as before in the arena, and he was harassed and attacked by the group of little angels from the side, and the pressure he was under was much greater. Fortunately, my "Death Field" assisted in the defense, and the "Death Ripple" that was fully activated also had an impact on the actions of the Supreme Honor. In addition to the harassment of Ibora, the Black Mountain Old Demon also specially separated three tentacles to specifically contain the attack of the Supreme Honor, so that he did not break through Khufu's defense line so easily. However, the strength of the Supreme Honor was too strong, and the combat experience was extremely rich. If there was any mistake in the coordination between Khufu, Ibora, and the Black Mountain Old Demon, I was afraid that he would seize it and use it to break through the defense line and rush into the inner layer. If we just confronted head-on, we were not sure that we could resist his attack, and it should be only a matter of time before we were forced to break through. For this reason, Khufu did not dare to hold back any more, and made full use of the "Great Pyramid Sky Cage and Earth Locking Array", especially the attached "Formation (Position) Conversion" function. He frequently switched positions with the other seven great pharaohs in the outermost layer to avoid the frontal skill attack of the Supreme Honor, avoid his sharp edge, and appear in front of him to launch a surprise attack to contain his actions. At the same time, such sudden and irregular frequent position-changing attacks can easily disrupt the normal attack of the small angels, making it easier for the other seven great pharaohs to defend, so as not to blindly confront the small angels who came one after another, causing themselves to suffer too serious damage. Although doing so will consume too much energy stored in the "pyramid" and reduce the maintenance time of the "Great Pyramid Sky Cage and Earth Locking Array", it is mainly to fight against the "God's Domain" of the Supreme Honor, and it only needs to last for fifteen minutes at most. After returning to the field, the formation can be restored to normal operation. In the later stages of the game, as long as I summon more undead minions, I will have the strength to launch a counterattack without relying too much on the "Great Pyramid Sky Cage and Earth Lock Array". This can reduce the energy consumption of the "Pyramid", and there shouldn't be any major problems in supporting the game.
The attack of the Supreme Honor was getting more and more fierce. The attack power and speed of the mini angels should be the same as those of normal angels of the same level, but they were much different in defense and health. Although they were relatively easy to kill, they often fought to the death and tried their best to punch or kick the enemy, showing great tenacity. This kind of fighting method that hurt both sides was the most difficult to avoid. There were many angels and they were small in size. Every time, several of them rushed up at the same time. It was very difficult to bear too many attacks from them. If it weren't for the "Death Field" I released to contain the actions of the angels, and the "Formation (Position) Conversion" function launched by Khufu at the right time, which effectively curbed their crazy offensive, I'm afraid that there would be more angels who took advantage of the opportunity to break through the defense line and attack me directly in the interior, making my situation even more dangerous. In particular, the attack from the Supreme Honor himself put too much pressure on Khufu and the other seven pharaohs, forcing them to expend more of the "pyramid" reserve energy to suppress his attack. Fortunately, the tentacles of the Black Mountain Old Demon were long enough to carry out medium-range attacks from a distance, and did not get too close to the Supreme Honor to give him the opportunity to use the space transfer function. Otherwise, without it in the outside defense, the pressure I would have been under would have been even greater.
The Supreme Honor was not used to the effect of the "Great Pyramid Sky Cage and Earth Locking Array" which was used in actual combat for the first time in the human world. The attached "No-fly" function made him lose many advantages as an air combat knight, and the tenacious defensive and offensive capabilities of Khufu and the eleven great pharaohs were far beyond the reach of a single great pharaoh. They were organically combined into a whole. In a hurry and without any preparation, the Supreme Honor, who had rich practical experience, had no good way to break through their formation and defeat them one by one. In particular, the space transfer function attached to the "God's Domain" was ineffective against the great pharaohs, which also affected his performance and made it difficult for him to give his best.
Only Khufu and the seven great pharaohs defended the outer line. Facing the siege of hundreds of little angels, the extreme disadvantage in numbers made it impossible for them to defend the outer line tightly and prevent the little angels from breaking through. In addition, the big boss of Supreme Honor also brought them more and more pressure. In my order, they must be doubly vigilant and not let the Supreme Honor break into the inner line and directly threaten me. Once the "Death Field" can no longer be used, without the restraint of "Death Ripple", the little angels will become more arrogant, and the painstakingly constructed defense line may collapse. Once the space is completely occupied by the group of little angels, the "Formation (Position) Conversion" function is restricted, and the defense line cannot be rearranged. The situation will become worse, forcing Khufu to spend more energy to contain the offensive of Supreme Honor, which also gives the little angels more opportunities to constantly rely on the human wave tactics to seize the loopholes in the defense of the great pharaoh and forcefully break into the inner line. The increasing number of them makes the battle in the inner line more and more intense. In order to prevent those little angels who broke through the defense line from turning around and attacking the several great pharaohs who were participating in the outer defense of Khufu and others, and increase their pressure, I had to let Khufu push the four weaker great pharaohs who were arranged to protect me closely forward to build a second line of defense, and cooperate with the dark old demon and Taotao to kill those little angels who broke through to prevent them from disrupting and harassing in the interior. I used the magic ring to release the "death ray" to further strengthen my own protection. In addition, the fast-moving Ebola harassed the Supreme Honor while preparing to withdraw at any time to kill those little angels who directly threatened me, so that I would not be forced to interrupt the use of the "death field" due to attacks.
The time I had taken out to guide the actual combat drills of the "Great Pyramid Sky Cage and Earth Locking Array" was finally not in vain. Although we encountered the challenge from the strongest opponent at this stage in our first battle, the performance of Pharaoh Khufu, as the command and control center, was quite good. Facing such great pressure, we performed well and did not make any obvious mistakes that were caught and used by the Supreme Honor, making it impossible for the opponent to forcefully break through our defense. We lived up to my expectations for the "Great Pyramid Sky Cage and Earth Locking Array", and even had the ability to fight against the "God's Domain" cultivated to the top form. Its role is estimated to be no less than that of a real artifact. Of course, such a head-on confrontation with the Supreme Honor, especially the direct resistance to the attack of the "God's Domain", was very consuming for the summoned undead subordinates, especially Khufu and the eleven great pharaohs who were responsible for maintaining the formation and acting as the absolute main force. Not only did the frequent use of the "Formation (Position) Conversion" function cause the energy stored in the "Pyramid" to decrease rapidly, but even if it was consumed at a normal rate afterwards, it would be almost impossible to hold on until the end of the game. Moreover, facing the fierce attacks of the Supreme Honor and the group of angels, they also suffered more and more serious injuries, which had far exceeded the effective range of the "Great Pyramid Sky Cage and Earth Locking Formation" that could be used for treatment and recovery, and was gradually weakening their status and affecting their performance.
At this time, the battle has entered a white-hot stage. The defense line is in danger and seems to be breached at any time, but it always holds up miraculously and stubbornly resists the continuous attacks of the Supreme Honor and the group of little angels. I am also very nervous. I have no idea about the possible results, but I can only worry in vain. I am really powerless and have no way to further enhance my strength. Even if I want to use a pseudo-artifact to assist Khufu and others in defense, I can't spare the hands. In that case, it is bound to interrupt the operation of the "Death Domain". At this critical moment, any increase or decrease in the strength of both sides may lead to a change in the situation. Unless I am willing to use the strongest pseudo-artifact "Yellow Spring Gate" that can reverse the situation, otherwise, if I use other pseudo-artifacts, the defense line may be breached by the Supreme Honor before it can play a role. By then, the defeat will be complete and it may be out of control. Therefore, I am now in a difficult situation and I dare not relax at all. I can only use the existing resources and subordinates as much as possible to fight against Supreme Honor to the end and try to survive the 15-minute usage limit of "God's Domain". I believe that Supreme Honor should not have a second top-level pseudo-artifact. At that time, I can only use the cover of "Great Pyramid Sky Cage and Earth Locking Array" to activate "Death Touch" to replenish some mental power and summon more undead subordinates. Even if "Great Pyramid Sky Cage and Earth Locking Array" cannot support to the end, my chances of winning will be higher than Supreme Honor.
After all, it is not so easy to fight against the "God's Domain" cultivated to the top form. It was launched by the "World's No. 1 Bright Knight" Supreme Honor, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to resist. Facing the continuous siege of the little angels, Khufu and the others were also under too much pressure and had to be forced to gradually shrink the defense line and get closer and closer to me in the center of the formation, leaving less and less room for maneuver. In order to block the breakthrough of the Supreme Honor, Taotao rushed forward to block the gun hole without hesitation, but the Supreme Honor seized the opportunity to perform space transfer and teleported him to the group of little angels, and he could never fly back. The eight tentacles of the Black Mountain Demon were all broken several times. Although they grew again quickly and continued to fight, their power was not as strong as before. Their strength decreased a lot. Their main energy was placed on Supreme Honor. They tried their best to contain his attacks, especially to be careful not to let Supreme Honor get too close to them. They found an opportunity to use space transfer to teleport him to the group of little angels. They did not have the ability to resurrect like their pet Taotao. If they died, they would no longer exist. A level 10 upper-order Eight Extreme Yin Demon was still quite useful, but it could not be lost easily.
Faced with an extremely difficult situation, the "Great Pyramid Sky Cage and Earth Lock Array" still withstood this severe test. Although I only lost a lot of mental power and my health was not reduced much, other undead subordinates including Khufu and Ibora all suffered heavy damage, but they still resisted stubbornly and persisted until the use time limit of the "God's Domain". The defense line was never broken, which brought me greater harm. The Supreme Honor also tried his best to launch a fierce attack, but the "no-fly" function attached to the "Great Pyramid Sky Cage and Earth Lock Array" did have a great impact on him. The siege of the angel group helped him to attack our defense line, but also further restricted his movement, and there was no way to play the role of the "Speed Wing Light Armor" too much. Under my defensive tactics, his combat effectiveness was not fully exerted. Although the strength of the undead subordinates I summoned was greatly weakened, he was still unable to make a breakthrough with the "God's Domain" and determine his own advantages in one fell swoop. He took some advantage, but did not hurt my foundation, and still had the strength to fight.
With a flash of white light, I and my undead subordinates finally left the independent battle space of "God's Domain" and returned to the arena. The figure of Supreme Honor also appeared, still in the "Great Pyramid Sky Cage and Earth Lock Array", unable to break free. Without the siege of countless little angels in the "God's Domain", the threat of Supreme Honor alone would be much smaller. Although all the undead subordinates were injured, except for Taotao, no other subordinates died in the battle, so they could still play a certain role in restraining. Khufu and the Black Mountain Old Demon sat beside me to strengthen the defense against me. The eight great pharaohs invested in the frontal interception of Supreme Honor, and Ibola continued to play the advantage of speed to harass Supreme Honor and try to restrain his actions. I no longer cast the "Field of Death" and instead activated the "Touch of Death" to entangle the dark old demon. I must hurry up and absorb as much mental power as possible before the energy stored in the "Pyramid" is exhausted and the "Great Pyramid Sky Cage and Earth Lock Array" collapses. Every time I cast the "Summoning of the Undead", I will be one step closer to the final victory.
Seeing that he still couldn't approach me smoothly and interrupt my action of absorbing spiritual power, the Supreme Honor didn't delay any longer and immediately used a pseudo-artifact "Summoning God Card" to summon an eight-winged war angel that surpassed the tenth level to possess him, further enhancing his own combat power and launching a more fierce attack. The continuous use of pseudo-artifacts, not wanting to give me the opportunity to summon more undead minions to help, showed the Supreme Honor's firm determination to win the game. It seemed that he was going to fight me with all his strength at all costs. Originally, the great pharaohs suffered relatively serious injuries in the "God's Domain" and their state was no longer the same. Facing the more powerful Supreme Honor, they seemed to be willing but unable to resist. Some of them couldn't resist and were quickly broken through by the Supreme Honor, directly attacking the inner defense line formed by Khufu and the Dark Old Demon, which also exposed me to the attack of the "Holy Cross". I was forced to interrupt the activation of the "Touch of Death" and had to transform into a bat to escape the attack of the Supreme Honor.
After forcing me to retreat, the Supreme Honor did not chase after him, but attacked the Black Mountain Old Demon fiercely. It was obvious that he saw that it was seriously injured and wanted to kill it first to withdraw from the battle. When Khufu sent other great pharaohs back to rescue, the Supreme Honor changed his attack target again, making full use of his speed advantage and attacking those great pharaohs who were also seriously injured, forcing Khufu to make adjustments and try his best to prevent the great pharaohs from suffering more serious damage from the Supreme Honor. The undead subordinates who bullied me were all seriously injured and did not have much money to confront him head-on. Everyone was in danger for a while, and he took the initiative instead, causing chaos in the defense line. It was impossible to organize effectively to fight against him. In order to dodge the attack, a lot of "pyramid" stored energy was wasted, which made the formation run for a shorter time.
The Supreme Honor is indeed rich in practical experience. He has spotted my biggest weakness at this stage and wants to find a breakthrough from my severely injured undead subordinates to fight for a chance to reverse the situation and defeat me. Only more than 20 minutes have passed, and there is still a little more than half of the time left. If the Supreme Honor can take the initiative in the subsequent games, even if he uses two more pseudo-artifacts, he will not be able to successfully kill me in the end. According to the rules of this conference, it may not necessarily be that he loses the game, and there is still a chance to win. If there is no new force to join, even with my current strength, it may be difficult to stop the Supreme Honor from committing violence. Maybe the dark old demon, especially a certain great pharaoh, will lose his life. Whether it will lead to losing the game or not, such a loss itself is unacceptable to me. I must immediately further strengthen my combat effectiveness to reverse this passive and unfavorable situation. At this time, my mental power had not recovered to 60%, and I could not perform "Summoning the Dead". I had to summon Rosberg and let him summon another level 10 upper-level Eight Extreme Yin Demon, who was also injured and still not healed, to assist the Black Mountain Old Demon in defense. At the same time, I used the pseudo-artifact "Ghost Mirror" and copied another Eight Extreme Yin Demon based on the Eight Extreme Yin Demon summoned by Rosberg, which was much better than the Black Mountain Old Demon. I set up a triangular formation to protect Rosberg and me in the middle. A total of 24 thick tentacles can almost intercept the attack of the Supreme Honor together. In addition, the defense line formed by Khufu and eleven great pharaohs on the periphery, as well as the roving harassment of Ibola, is enough to prevent the Supreme Honor from easily breaking through. I urged the "Touch of Death" to entangle Rosberg, who was not far away, and replenished my mental power as soon as possible. Such a frontal defense would be much more advantageous in terms of the rules than the incarnation of a bat and escaping blindly, so that the referee would not deduct too many points.
The Eight Extreme Yin Demons are indeed the undead spirits that excel in their ability to defend their positions. The three upper-level Eight Extreme Yin Demons joined forces to set up a defense formation that was more like a copper wall and iron fortress. Even though the Supreme Honor, who was possessed by the Eight-winged War Angel who surpassed the upper-level of the tenth level, was extremely fierce, he seemed to be somewhat unable to resist the 24 thick tentacles of the Holy Dragon of Light mount that almost always entangled him at the same time, and he was in a hurry to deal with it. In addition, Khufu always used the "Formation (Position) Conversion" function to switch positions in time, often intercepting the forced breakthrough of the Supreme Honor at the critical moment, making it difficult for him to break through and interrupt my absorption of spiritual power. After a stalemate of several minutes, when he finally found an opportunity to stop me from activating the "Touch of Death", I had already absorbed enough mental energy and summoned Wu Ma and two level-10 intermediate-level Eight Extreme Yin Demons to continue to strengthen the defense, in order to further reduce the pressure on Khufu and the others, reduce the consumption of energy stored in the "Pyramid", and allow the "Great Pyramid Sky Cage and Earth Lock Array" to be maintained for a longer time. As long as the formation is not withdrawn, the combat effectiveness of the Supreme Honor will be effectively suppressed and cannot be fully exerted, which will be more advantageous to me in terms of the combat environment.
The "Great Pyramid Sky Cage and Earth Locking Formation", coupled with the Eight Extreme Yin Demon's strong defensive ability, repelled the Supreme Honor's attacks again and again, and bought me a lot of time to absorb spiritual power. When the Supreme Honor could not effectively threaten my life, I dared to use more life points to activate the "Touch of Death" and perform the "Summoning of the Dead" again and again. After I summoned another level 10 upper-level Ghost Knight, the situation became increasingly unfavorable for the Supreme Honor. I had already begun to organize a counterattack, using the Ghost Knight as the main force, and launched a full-scale attack at the expense of it. Ibola and Wu Ma harassed from the side, further restraining the Supreme Honor's actions, making him less and less able to take care of me, and unable to take the initiative on the scene. Once the validity period of the "Invitation Card" expired, he could not take advantage of anything, and did not have enough ability to forcibly break through the defense line formed by the Eight Extreme Yin Demons and the Great Pharaoh. Many attacks were in vain, with no effect, and became more and more passive.
Perhaps because he saw that the situation was hopeless, Supreme Honor finally did not use the third pseudo-artifact to fight back, but only desperately attacked the area where I was, trying to take the initiative and get more points. As the effect of "Ghost Mirror" disappeared, especially the "Blood Transformation" ability exceeded the time limit, I was unwilling to use other pseudo-artifacts, and I was also unable to put Supreme Honor to death. I could only strengthen the offensive and try to attack as much as possible under the premise of ensuring the personal safety of the main force, so as not to let Supreme Honor gain the upper hand. He used one more pseudo-artifact than me, especially the strongest pseudo-artifact "God's Domain", and he used it first every time, so he lost more points. I did not evade blindly, including in the "God's Domain", I basically focused on frontal defense, and would not be deducted too many points. Even if one more level 10 intermediate pet Taotao died, I should have the advantage after comprehensive calculation. The active attack in the later period was just to get more points and further increase the chances of winning.
In the end, the match between me and Supreme Honor was a tie. As expected, I won the crucial semi-finals after the referee's decision. According to the report of "Sky Media", the key point was that the "Great Pyramid Sky Cage and Earth Locking Array" set up by my undead was so powerful that it could actually compete with the "God's Domain" that was cultivated to the top form. This made Supreme Honor's situation extremely passive. He used an extra pseudo-artifact, but was still unable to break the "Great Pyramid Sky Cage and Earth Locking Array", which became the biggest reason for his defeat as the favorite to win the championship. At the same time, it also once again showed the tyrannical strength of me, the low-key defending "World's No. 1 Master". Even if I haven't conquered a pet of the upper level of level 10, I am still a super strong man with the top strength.
The other semi-final was between Long Xing Tian Xia and the Fearless Warriors, the two leaders of the Resistance Alliance and the Neutral Alliance. It was also a fierce and hard battle. Neither side was willing to be easily defeated by the opponent. They all went all out and used three pseudo artifacts to win the game. However, Long Xing Tian Xia had one more artifact after all, and the two artifacts were one for attack and one for defense. Compared with the Fearless Warrior's "Thor's Hammer", he still had a little more advantage. He was also very cautious. As long as the demon god who possessed him was a little more seriously injured, he would take it back and summon a demon god in good condition to possess him. In addition, he had the "Blood Demon Battle Armor" as protection. Even if the Fearless Warrior used the "Thor's Wrath" that would destroy both sides, he would not suffer much. Therefore, we attacked without restraint and took the initiative on the field for most of the time, forcing the Fearless Warriors to not use the "Wrath of Thundergod" without the certainty of killing the enemy in one blow. In the end, it was still a draw. After the referee's decision, Long Xing Tian Xia won the final victory with a slight advantage, and advanced to the final of the individual competition with me, creating the best record of the Resistance Alliance in the individual competition of the "World Heroes Conference" in all previous history.
The finals were between me and Long Xing Tian Xia. As a player who entered Tian Xia with a special purpose, the "Golden Hero Trophy" did not mean much to Long Xing Tian Xia. Moreover, the Longteng Mercenary Group was not weak overall, but lacked other top players with artifacts. The possibility of winning the " World's No. 1 Mercenary Group" was not even as good as the Tongxin League with me, Afeng, and Xue Wuxia. It was a pity that he got the title of "World's No. 1 Master". It would be more useful to me. Therefore, I communicated with my opponent in the finals in the same camp early on, and I would not fight too hard in the finals. The fake artifacts would definitely not be used. The possessed demon and the summoned undead subordinates would try not to seriously injure or even kill them. We agreed to have an exhibition match. In the end, I took the initiative on the field and won the victory in the individual finals, successfully defending the title of "World's No. 1 Master".
