Chapter 226: 226, Death of Xi Fan_1

Translator: 549690339

Other players had experiences similar to the Zhen Hong Squad; half an hour after receiving the mission, they began to discover their ‘Clue One’ successively.

The content of ‘Clue One’ varied; some involved saving injured civilians, some involved killing rabid animals, and some involved dealing with criminals taking advantage of the chaos.

After a forum discussion, everyone found that ‘Clue One’ was irrelevant in 99.9% of the occurrences, except for one lucky player called ‘Insane Piano Key,’ who obtained a valid clue.

Through this valid clue, players conjectured that Xi Fan’s hiding place is likely in the eastern civilian area of the city!

As a result, the players abandoned all other areas and all came to the eastern civil district to explore.

Hundreds of thousands of players participated in a block-by-block search, assisting civilians throughout the eastern district’s streets.

Eventually, one valid clue after another was successfully found.

Su Yu’s main quest was also related to these clues – ‘The Glory of the Forsythia Empire,’ stages 37-39.

Following the other players, he unravelled these clues and completed two of Xi Fan’s high-difficulty maze decryption tasks.

Ultimately, during the 40th stage of the task, in a house in the civilian district yet to collapse, Su Yu and the players successfully found the injured Xi Fan and promptly notified Princess Alyssa.

A few minutes later.

A dazzling sword light streaked across the sky, and the roof of the sturdy stone house was cut away as easily as tofu.

Alyssa held a silver lance, floating in the sky.

She looked coldly at Xi Fan, who was sitting in the house below, with a dozen colorful [Stun Patterns] floating behind her, the symbol of the combat mage profession.

Now, Alyssa has been fully blessed by the Guardian’s avatar, her strength reaching the seventh step’s peak.

Of course, this power is of an “external” nature.

The Princess herself only has the power of the fourth step, but she can temporarily activate this part of the power to reach the peak of the seventh step to fend off enemies. It doesn’t belong to her alone.

And the more she uses this power, the less it becomes, so she must use it cautiously at the most critical moment.

Xi Fan’s face is unusually pale now, and he’s in pretty bad shape. The black fog on his body is swirling irregularly, almost unable to suppress his internal injuries.

Xi Fan still finds it hard to believe that he’s ended up in such a dire situation.

He initially thought he could fulfil his long-cherished wish to become the thirteenth god level powerhouse in this world!

But to his surprise, Madeline’s terrifying self-destruct completely shattered his dream.

Madeline’s self-destruction not only caused him to fail in his breakthrough but his overall strength fell straight from 84 to 82, suffering serious injuries.

While there may seem to be only a two-level difference between 82 and 84, the power gained from each level up exponentially increases in the later stages. The power at level 84 is almost twice that of level 82.

That means, Xi Fan’s strength had been nearly halved. Add serious injuries to the mix, and his current power was less than a quarter of his peak.

Afterwards, Kevin Forsythia continuously pursued him without a break, leaving him no time to recuperate and his injuries to worsen instead.

By now, Xi Fan seemed to understand that he was destined to die this day.

He looked up, facing Alyssa’s gaze with a blank face, “If I’m not mistaken, Alyssa, you should have obtained a part of that old guy, Kevin Forsythia’s power, right?”

Alyssa didn’t answer as she secretly gathered her magic power, preparing to release a powerful strike to kill Xi Fan.

“But with just you, how could you trap me?” Xi Fan disdainfully got up, unafraid to meet Alyssa’s gaze.

But at that moment, three powerful figures appeared at the exact east, south, and west sides of the house.

These three powerful figures coolly looked at Xi Fan, “What if we join?”

These three, of course, were the Empire’s seventh-step powerhouses. They were Sharon, the Chief Mage of the royal family, Roland, the Tower Master of Silver Pine, and Andrew, the legendary mercenary of the Mercenary Guild.

During Madeline’s earth-shattering self-destruction, the Empire Marshal, Charles Forsythia, had fallen unexpectedly, while Roland and Andrew were seriously injured, with Sharon being slightly injured.

Although they were all injured, they had to stand up and make their stance clear at this critical juncture.

The Princess was currently in the lead, so they logically stood by the Princess’s side. They helped whoever won.

Looking at the three same-level adversaries in the sky, Xi Fan knew he definitely couldn’t escape today.

At the end of his life, he suddenly thought of Madeline, an old enemy he had been entangled with for a thousand years.

Madeline ruined his path of evolution with her self-destruction and destroyed herself as well.

“What about me? Could I also destroy the future of the Forsythia Empire with my sacrifice?” Xi Fan’s eyes grew perilously dangerous.

Alyssa, Sharon, Roland, Andrew.

Among these four, two were seriously injured. If he were to self-destruct like Madeline, he could probably take at least two with him!

By then, without the support of high-ranking powerhouses, the Forsythia Empire would become history!

With this in mind, the black fog around Xi Fan suddenly started to surge violently. He transformed into an arrow formed of black fog, rushing towards Alyssa with an unstoppable force.

“Haha, Forsythia Empire, let’s go to hell together!”

Amid Xi Fan’s manic laughter, the fog-arrow closed in on Alyssa.

But Alyssa was not panicked at all.

Because Su Yu had long guessed that Xi Fan might self-destruct and had given her a weapon in advance.

With a wave of her small hand, the weapon that Su Yu had given her was brought out.

It was a rusty long sword, indeed the ‘Best Sword in the Village.’

“Take this!” Alyssa shouted softly and pointed the rusty sword at Xi Fan.

With a crisp ‘bang,’ the blade separated from the hilt and fell to the ground.

At the same time, Xi Fan fell into a state of ‘surprise.’

Although the ‘surprise’ state only lasted for about 0.5 seconds, this state had an absolutely severe consequence – his self-destruction process was interrupted!

The interrupted self-destruct sequence caused him to be overwhelmed by a counterattack of massive magic, forcing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

“Is it a weapon of law?! How is the Village Chief’s sword in your hands?” Xi Fan gawked at the sword hilt in Alyssa’s hand.

“There’s no time to explain! Xi Fan, now it’s time to pay for the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians who died because of you!”

“[Shining Dragon Crescent Slash]!”

The mighty Shining Dragon Crescent Slash was summoned by Alyssa, stabbing directly into the black fog around Xi Fan.

The golden [Dragon’s Pattern] on the Shining Dragon Crescent Slash exploded.

Bang!

A deafening explosion, Xi Fan was completely engulfed by the explosion.

Xi Fan’s life force disappeared rapidly in the explosion.

In the end, Xi Fan, a generation of prominent figures, saw his life of sin ended by the Princess’ powerful strike.

Xi Fan, completely fallen.
