1472 An Endless Battle

"Oh my! It looks like the Fiery Locust Swarm has had enough and decided to end this once and for all! Although the Demon Sealing Faction has done an excellent job repelling their enemy so far, how are they going to react to the Fiery Locust Swarm's full aggression?!" Yan Xiaoxiao's voice trembled from excitement.

"Hahaha! It's over for the Demon Sealing Faction! There's no way they can defend against this with just four people!"

"Hurry up and end this so I can get my winnings!"

The audience could feel their heartbeat increasing with every step the Fiery Locust Swarm took toward the Demon Sealing Faction's castle.

Seeing the Fiery Locust Swarm's move, Yuan used his divine sense to speak to Wang Bingbing and Wu Zao, "Make your way to Shi Lang. The Fiery Locust Swarm has finally decided to act. All of them are advancing toward Shi Lang's direction."

Wang Bingbing and Wu Zao, who had been cultivating to replenish their spiritual energy, immediately stood up and started running toward Shi Lang's direction.

"They should still have around 39,000 players left, right? Are you telling us to stop them with just the three of us?" Wu Zao asked.

Yuan smiled and said, "I don't expect you guys to defeat all of them by yourselves, but I want you to defeat as many as you can. I will take over once you guys can no longer continue. Also, I doubt they'll all attack you at once."

"I hope you're right."

They regrouped with Shi Lang sometime later and prepared to confront the Fiery Locust Swarm.

"They will arrive soon."

After a while, a multitude of people emerged on the horizon, advancing steadily towards them like a vast sea.

Wang Bingbing and the others exchanged nervous glances as they stood face-to-face with the approaching army, their throats dry with apprehension. Nothing could have readied them for this confrontation.

Xu Boqin, who was leading the army from the front, stopped moving and silently stared at Wang Bingbing and the others.

He narrowed his gaze as he questioned, "Is it true that only five of you are participating in this Faction War?"

"So what if it's true?" Shi Lang replied.

"Are you looking down on us?"

"So what if we are?" Wu Zao sneered.

Xu Boqin's body trembled in anger. He pointed at them and roared, "Where is Player Yuan?! Tell him to get his ass over here!"

"If you want to fight Yuan, you'll have to get past us first."

"Hmph! Who do you think you are? A bunch of arrogant bastards, it won't take any effort to get rid of you!"

"If it won't take any effort to get rid of us, why did you bother risking everything with performance-enhancing drugs?" Wu Zao asked as he fanned his face, which wore a cheeky smile.

"What did you say?" Xu Boqin's face immediately darkened with a deep frown.

The players of Fiery Locust Swarm also became anxious upon hearing such words.

"What? You think we wouldn't know?" Shi Lang chuckled.

"Those are hefty accusations, but I'll grant you the opportunity to retract them!" Xu Boqin's voice thundered with anger.

"There's no point trying to hide it. Chairman Lee and the organizers are already aware of it." Wang Bingbing said.

"If they know, why haven't they taken any action?! We should've been disqualified the moment they knew! This proves that you're just making baseless accusations!"

"It's okay if you don't believe us. You'll find out once our match ends."

"Don't worry, it will end soon!"

Xu Boqin pointed his sword at them and roared in a commanding voice, "If you are a Spirit Apprentice, attack them! But don't let them suffer a quick defeat! Wear them out and make them regret tarnishing our faction's reputation!"

Hundreds of players immediately detached from the formation and charged at Wang Bingbing and the others.

Seeing this, the Demon Sealing Faction immediately raised their weapons and prepared to fight back.

"Despite their overwhelming numerical advantage, the Fiery Locust Swarm has refrained from unleashing their full force!" Yan Xiaoxiao narrated.

Surrounded on all sides with no avenue of escape, Wang Bingbing and the others found themselves in a relentless onslaught. Yet, unlike before, they weren't besieged by the entire enemy force at once and only needed to focus on one player at a time. However, with every player they defeated, another swiftly stepped into the fray, ensuring that their battle continued without giving them a chance to catch their breath.

One hundred… two hundred… five hundred…

One thousand… two thousand… three thousand…

Despite defeating thousands of players, they were still surrounded with no end in sight. The enemy forces dwindled slightly and at a sluggish pace. Meanwhile, Wang Bingbing and the others found themselves rapidly depleting their energy, their endurance stretched to its limits in this seemingly endless battle.

In fact, if it hadn't been for Yuan's interference every now and then through the flying daggers, they would've long lost their lives.

"How long do we have to keep this up?!" Shi Lang cried out loud.

While it appeared to the others that he was talking to himself, his words were actually directed at Yuan.

"If you want to give up, you can. However, I will tell Liya to give special training sessions to the first one to give up." Yuan spoke to them with divine sense.

When they heard his words, the thought of giving up immediately vanished from their head.

Four thousand… five thousand… six thousand…

After taking down seven thousand opponents together, they were so worn out they could barely lift their weapons, let alone swing them.

"Keep pushing them! They're on the verge of collapse!" Xu Boqin laughed out loud.

"Player Yuan! Are you seeing this?! Stop hiding and get your ass out here!"

Meanwhile, the audience marveled at the Demon Sealing Faction's remarkable endurance.

"Goodness gracious! The Demon Sealing Faction has put on quite the spectacle! None of us could have foreseen the extent of their struggle. Sadly, it seems they can hardly press on!" Yan Xiaoxiao remarked, voicing the astonishment shared by the onlookers.

A few more minutes later, just as Wang Bingbing fell to her knees from exhaustion, Yuan's voice resounded.

"You guys have done enough. I will take over from here."
