Chu Tian activated the swiftness on his boots after passing by two warriors.
He rushed out of the cave directly towards the second prison.
As soon as he emerged, he noticed that not all of the enemy had mobilized.
The seventh level was not an open area.
Much like a prison, it had cells on both sides with a corridor in the middle.
It wasn't very wide, making it impossible for so many players to charge in at once.
After assessing the terrain, Chu Tian gritted his teeth.
"Leizi, you... hold them back, stall as much as possible! The rest of you, get into the innermost cells nearby and find buttons or similar items that are hard to find!
Those are the switches to open the golden door! Each cell has one."
As he spoke, Chu Tian didn't hesitate and darted into a cell opposite.
The moment he entered, he saw two archers on the other side.
One of them was curiously bending down, staring at something like a lampstand in the corner.
Then, he reached out and twisted it.
Seeing this, Chu Tian turned and left.
That was the key to the main door, and this guy had helped him open it. It would be great if someone had opened the previous ones as well.
"How many gems on the main door have lit up?" Chu Tian asked.
"Three!" It was Lin Ran who replied.
Gao Kai, Qin Yao, and Lin Yu, the three healers, were rushing out with Zhao Lei.
The others were rushing into the cells on either side.
Lin Zhi and Jing Kaiyu were following Zhao Lei.
They were assigned cells that were slightly further away.
Those areas had already been occupied by players from Blackwater City.
Chu Tian relied on his level sixty-three.
These players, after clearing the previous few levels, had lost levels and were now around level forty-two or forty-three.
Chu Tian's leopard form stealth was completely undetectable to them.
A suppression of twenty levels.
"Thunder Leap Shatterstrike..."
As Chu Tian emerged, he heard a fierce roar from the direction of the golden door.
It was Lin Ran's voice.
This guy had actually made the first move.
Bang...
Chu Tian had good visibility, and about a hundred meters away from him.
A figure leaped into the air.
A milky white shield was glowing on his body.
That was the Discipline Priest's Power Word: Barrier, a suppression shield.
It was a strong damage-reduction shield for Discipline Priests.
It seemed Lin Yu was casting it on Lin Zhi, fearing he would be killed if he fell into the enemy's ranks.
With a dull thud, Lin Zhi's body landed.
His position was right in the middle of the enemy players.
Chu Tian frowned, this guy's charge was too fierce.
Lin Yu and the others were likely too far away to heal him.
A blue arc of electricity flashed across the ground.
This was Lin Zhi's leaping cleave, an ability from his hidden class.
A normal warrior's cleave was a single strike to the ground.
Most were used for positioning.
His was different.
Thunder Leap Shatterstrike.
The name itself explained its meaning.
Upon landing, the ground cracked like a spiderweb.
Within this range, lightning-like electric snakes spewed from the cracks.
Anyone or any monster touched would enter a stunned state, their bodies stiffening.
Of course, the damage was also considerable.
Chu Tian saw that the moment Lin Zhi landed, a circle around him was instantly cleared.
He had even managed to instantly kill a group.
A gap appeared in the enemy formation.
Lin Zhi's appearance shocked the Blackwater City players immensely.
These scouts hadn't received any instructions that there were others here.
They thought it was like the previous levels, where they were scouting for monsters.
Who would have expected someone to suddenly jump out?
"Enemy attack, someone's here..."
These guys instantly became chaotic.
"Blade Storm..."
These guys were caught off guard and were in utter disarray.
Before they could organize an effective counterattack,
Lin Zhi's voice was heard again.
After using Thunder Leap Shatterstrike, he slammed his greatsword into the ground.
He seemed slow and struggling, gripping the sword hilt with both hands.
Using his feet as a pivot, he swung the giant sword.
As the giant sword was swung up, a Shield Warrior with a shield charged towards him.
However, the edge of Lin Zhi's greatsword, *kachā*,
slashed onto his greatshield.
The greatshield in the Shield Warrior's hand was directly knocked away.
The Shield Warrior's body was instantly split in two.
The next moment, Lin Zhi's body spun faster and faster.
He even began to move.
The vortex created by his long greatsword occupied the entire corridor.
The tip even scraped against the walls on both sides.
Zzzzt...
Sparks flew.
No one could withstand being hit by him.
Anyone touched was instantly turned into a bisected corpse.
The Blackwater City players were filled with terror and shock.
At first, some Shield Warriors had charged forward to interrupt Lin Zhi's Blade Storm.
But no Shield Warrior could withstand it.
All of them had their shields cleaved away and turned into corpses.
"Retreat... don't resist, wait for his skill to end before we all go and kill him!"
These guys weren't mindless.
Seeing some of the players sacrificing themselves, they all retreated.
Although Blade Storm could be moved after use,
its movement speed was only the same as normal movement speed.
Everyone's movement speed was roughly the same.
Only classes focused entirely on agility would be faster.
With their retreat, Lin Zhi's Blade Storm couldn't catch up, rendering it useless.
These guys thought they had a good plan, and even Chu Tian agreed.
"Feather of Heaven..."
At this moment, a sweet and clear voice sounded.
The next moment, a milky white light flashed through the pitch-black space.
A pure white feather descended from the sky.
It landed directly at Lin Zhi's feet.
He stepped onto it.
Swish...
Lin Zhi's Blade Storm instantly turned like a spinning wheel.
His movement speed skyrocketed...
Swish swish swish...
"Ah..."
"No..."
"Don't come closer!"
A group of players cried out in terror,
but it was useless.
In three seconds, a distance of over a hundred meters,
was swept through by Lin Zhi as if he were plowing the ground.
In the blink of an eye, he reached Chu Tian.
Creak...
Just as he reached here, the duration of Blade Storm ended.
The acceleration from Feather of Heaven also disappeared.
"Tian Ge... *huff huff*..."
After using the skill, Lin Zhi's body was steaming, and he took two deep breaths.
"Good coordination!" Chu Tian was already surprised.
He hadn't expected the coordination between Lin Yu and him to be so precise.
Right, how did Lin Yu move over? Lin Zhi's jump distance was too far for Lin Yu's skills to reach!
Chu Tian looked at the empty corridor.
Lin Yu's body was just disappearing at the entrance of a cell.
Behind her was Luo Luo.
Luo Luo was retreating, and she and Lin Yu entered the corridor one after another.
She was killing almost everyone with a single arrow, and those pursuing them were all precisely shot dead.
How did they get here?
Chu Tian hadn't seen; his attention had been solely on Lin Zhi.
His imposing Blade Storm was truly exhilarating.
Seeing Luo Luo and Lin Yu blocked in the cell cave,
Chu Tian moved, preparing to charge towards them.
"Two more needed!" Lin Ran had been by the golden door.
Why was he left there?
Because he was the worst at PvP, and his casting speed was slow.
In close combat, he couldn't cast any skills.
