This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

Chapter 265 A Million-Mile Great Detour, Black Dragon's Sky-Shattering Slash!

The airdrop was stolen!
Nearby players stared in disbelief at the scene, their faces filled with incredulity.

They never imagined that someone would brazenly steal the airdrop right in front of three players ranked in the top 20 of the overall leaderboard.

Who is so bold?
Didn't he hear that the two top players from the Chinese server were about to arrive?

Isn't he afraid of being hunted down by these two big shots?
Jiang Liu was afraid, so he ran away.

Moreover, it runs extremely fast, so fast that it leaves everyone else in the dust, so fast that no one can catch up with it.

In just five minutes, he disappeared from the sight of Zhao Guanping, Wang Chongtai, and Wan Wulong.

No matter how hard they chased, they couldn't catch up with Jiang Liu's speed. They could only watch helplessly as Jiang Liu disappeared into the distance, leaving behind three faces filled with despair.

What's even more devastating is that the bosses are arriving!

When Wan Wulong received Ye Longying's message, he couldn't help but tremble all over, and a cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

You want my coordinates?

Can this be said?

What's the point of telling you the coordinates if the airdrop is gone? Just go back to where you came from.

He wailed inwardly, but how could he dare say such a thing to the boss? If she told him that, he would be hung up and whipped.

How should we reply?
He turned to Wang Chongtai for help.

Wang Chongtai thought Wan Wulong was worried about the warship, so he said, "Why don't you come with me on one of the warships first? We can keep chasing, maybe we'll still have a chance."

"No."

Wan Wulong shook his head, revealing an expression even more unsightly than crying: "Sister Ying contacted me and asked where the airdrop is. What should I say?"

Wang Chongtai: "."

What to do?
Sorry, I don't understand.

Wang Chongtai gave Wan Wulong a pitiful look, then silently turned his head and steered the thousand-meter warship.

"If we're brothers, then pretend you've never seen me here."

"If you're a brother, then you'll stay here with me and die together."

"We'll split up. You wait here for Sister Ying's decision, and I'll go and keep an eye on things. I'll contact you as soon as I have any news."

"Really?"

"Really."

Wang Chongtai slipped away, carrying Wan Wulong's hopes, and followed the trail left by the river.

Thirty minutes later.

A warship ten thousand meters tall appeared in the sky, its pitch-black body shrouded in demonic energy, exuding an unstoppable aura and power as it descended upon the scene.

A tall, slender figure stood atop the enormous statue at the very front of the Demon Sky Battleship.

Ye Longying stood with one hand on her hip and the other holding the Black Dragon Crescent Blade. Her outfit, resembling a black leather jacket, fluttered in the wind, exuding an aura of dominance simply by standing there.

She lowered her head and looked down, her black gem-like eyes sweeping across the surrounding area for miles, a hint of doubt in them.

"What about the airdrop?"

She turned her gaze to Wan Wulong and asked casually.

Wan Wulong suddenly knelt on the ground, looked up, and forced a smile that looked worse than crying. His voice trembled as he stammered, "The airdrop was stolen."

Instantly, an indescribable sense of oppression descended from the sky, as if a five-finger mountain was pressing down on him, making it difficult for him to breathe.

That's it, I'm doomed.

"What do you mean? This city lord doesn't quite understand."

Ye Longying stared at Wan Wulong expressionlessly, her voice as cold and piercing as the wind: "You told me you were near the airdrop, that you could keep an eye on it, and now you're telling me it's gone."

"Are you kidding me?"

With a thud, Wan Wulong knelt even deeper, his head covered in sweat, his expression filled with terror.

Are you kidding me?

Who dares?
"Sister Ying, you really can't blame me!"

Wan Wulong was almost in tears, and hurriedly explained, "I don't know which player pulled out a Prestige-level vehicle. He rode it, stole the airdrop, and ran away. We couldn't catch up no matter how hard we tried!"

"Not only that, but in order to prevent me from pursuing them, they even fired cannons and destroyed my warship!"

Fearing that Ye Longying wouldn't believe him, he hurriedly scooped up a handful of warship fragments with both hands.

Ultimate transportation?
Ye Longying frowned slightly. Was there a fourth Supreme-level vehicle in the Celestial Empire's clothing?

Which faction is it?

He believed what Wan Wulong said. Since it was a Supreme-level vehicle, there was nothing that could be done. The speed of a Supreme-level vehicle was something that not everyone could catch up with.

Then the problem is coming.

If the airdrop is gone, then all my tens of thousands of miles of travel have been for nothing?
The top-ranked player on the overall combat power list chased an airdrop for tens of thousands of miles, only to return empty-handed. If word got out, wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?

No, I can't just let this go. Don't I have any pride?

Where is Wang Chongtai?

Yoru Sakura asked.

Wan Wulong hurriedly replied, "He's still chasing after them. Big sister, why don't you ask him? Maybe he's caught up?"

Brother Tai, my life or death depends on you!

Ye Longying lowered her head and contacted Wang Chongtai. A dozen seconds later, she raised her head and looked towards the south, her dark eyes radiating a faint but palpable aura of menace.

She wanted to see who was so bold as to steal her airdrop!

She wanted to see who was so bold as to make her travel tens of thousands of miles more!
A surge of murderous aura coursed through the Demon Sky warship as it activated its maximum engines and sped off in a southerly direction.

Seeing Ye Longying leave, Wan Wulong breathed a sigh of relief, secretly wiping the fine sweat from his forehead, feeling extremely grateful to Wang Chongtai.

The older sister left without saying anything. Does that mean her good brother really caught up with her?
Awesome, Giant Spirit God!
Just as he was feeling relieved to have escaped death, a cold voice suddenly rang out from the horizon.

"You failed to deliver the airdrop and still dared to brag. You're punished by having to spam the 'Taiye Declaration' 1000 times in the public chat."

Wan Wulong: "!!!!!!!"

What is the Taiye Declaration?
That's the one about going out at night in the west.
To spam the chat on the battle map a thousand times is less effective than just slashing me!
He preferred physical death to social death.

The same applies to the Taiyao tribe.

"You can't even defend a small airdrop, what use are you! Go to the public chat and spam 'Unity is strength' 1000 times!"

Zhao Guanping: "."

Unity is strength! (This is over a hundred words long!)

Ye Longying and General Yang arrived very quickly. From the time the airdrop landed to the time they arrived at the airdrop area, the distance of tens of thousands of miles was less than an hour.

However, an hour was enough for the river to disappear without a trace.

In an unremarkable building, Jiang Liu, having used a stealth spell, was leisurely collecting the resources of the area.

After speeding for thousands of miles in the Supreme Dragon Boat, he retrieved the boat, used a concealment talisman, changed direction, and randomly plunged into a building.

Who can find him?
No one can find him! Although he has a ten-meter-long vertical red arrow above his head, he is hiding inside a building, so who can see the red arrow?

He got the first airdrop!

He snagged the first job offer!
Although the process wasn't exactly honorable, the winner takes all!
Now that I have the offer letter, the next question is how to keep it.

"There are still more than four days left in the battle."

As Jiang Liu picked up the blue and white resources on the ground, he muttered to himself. The thought of having to hide for another four days made him sigh deeply.

The next four days are the most important.

How can I hold onto the offer letter until the battle is over?
“The previous route was to advance from the northeast to the center of the map, but that route is definitely no longer usable.”

He frowned, deep in thought.

Because of the first airdrop, this direction has attracted the top two on the overall leaderboard. If he continues along the original route, he is very likely to encounter these two supreme powerhouses.

If we can't win, we need to use a roundabout strategy; the ultimate goal is to protect the employment contract.

"The safe zone won't shrink to this point for a long time; if we change direction, we'll have plenty of time."

Jiang Liu opened the mini-map, first glancing at the location of the poison circle, then at his own position, and fell into deep thought.

After staring at the minimap for several seconds, a plan came to mind.

The Great Migration!
Move from the northeast to the southwest, then follow the safe zone from the southwest, shrinking all the way to the center of the map!
For the rest of the time, he will wander around the perimeter, constantly changing his position, and spiraling towards the center of the map!
Northeast → Southwest → East → North → West → South.

This is his next route!

He had been wandering the outer circles, and he didn't believe that those big shots would waste a lot of time hunting him down.

Instead of wasting time chasing him, you might as well go and grab the second airdrop.

As for the other players, he'll just have to deal with them. In the entire Chinese server, there are probably only about ten players he can't beat. Apart from the top ten on the overall leaderboard, the other players are not a threat.

This plan is named the Million-Li Grand Detour!
This way you can hold onto the employment contract, but the downside is that you can no longer capture large resource points and can only continue scavenging.

They can't take the major resource points, but there's nothing they can do about it; after all, he's the target of everyone's attacks now.

"So what if I pick up trash? I'll just be more diligent."

Jiang Liu sighed inwardly, but the thought that he had already obtained a ticket to the Battle of Tianwang Mountain filled him with excitement and high morale.

Pick up trash, pick up trash at full speed for four days!

It's only four days. When I'm grinding monsters, I can grind for a whole month straight!

The "trash-worthy heavenly soldiers and generals" are mass-produced positions; if he's going to be one, he should be one of the Four Heavenly Kings!
Run!
Jiang Liu began a flanking maneuver, moving from the northeast to the southwest while collecting trash from the buildings.

More than a hundred miles behind him.

Standing high in the sky, Wang Chongtai looked around at the cluster of buildings that looked exactly like a sticker, a look of bewilderment appearing on his stiff face.

What about that ultimate vehicle?

Gone; the target lost.

Did the other party take back the vehicle and hide it among the buildings?

If that's the case, then there's no point in looking for anything!

This is a map of an urban area, not a plain. There are buildings all around that can hide you. How can he search alone like this?

Oh no, we've really lost them this time.

at this time.

His view above was blocked by a colossal object, and before he could react, a cold voice came from the sky.

"Where are the people?"

The two short words made the two-meter-tall, burly man tremble. He looked up at the beautiful figure standing at the front of the Demon Sky Warship and said with a bitter expression, "The other side has taken back the vehicle and can't be found."

Upon hearing Wang Chongtai's reply, Ye Longying frowned slightly, her gaze sweeping across the surrounding area for miles. Her delicate face radiated even more murderous intent, and a cold smile curled at the corners of her lips: "Playing hide-and-seek, is that it?"

"I like."

Retrieving the Ultimate-level vehicle means a significant decrease in movement speed, which means the opponent is likely hiding within a radius of a thousand miles.

That's much simpler.

It covers a vast area, spanning thousands of miles.

But for Ye Longying, who is in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm and has a combat power of over 80 billion, it's nothing.

A cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage can destroy cities and lands with a flick of the wrist, let alone the Fourth Calamity, who is fully equipped with paid items.

Destroying thousands of miles of land in an instant is an easy task for the number one ranked fourth natural disaster.

"call."

Ye Longying exhaled softly, and a vast ocean of demonic energy surged forth from her body, her aura rising higher and higher, soaring into the sky.

She slowly raised the low-grade Dao artifact, the Black Dragon Crescent Blade, in her hand. The blade was condensed with endless demonic energy. High in the sky, she slashed down at the person directly in front of her.

"Black Dragon Sky-Shattering Slash!"

With a single slash, it seemed as if a brutal dragon's roar echoed through the heavens, and a black dragon phantom, hundreds of miles long, was slashed out from the blade!

boom!
A deafening roar, like thunder, followed by the earth-shattering slash of the blade!
After the slash, a hideous blade mark, hundreds of miles long and several miles wide, was left on the ground, and a huge canyon hundreds of meters deep appeared out of thin air!
A single strike cleaved through a hundred miles of land—this was Nightshade Sakura's strongest attack skill!
Along with the Black Dragon Crescent Blade, the superior-grade spiritual technique Black Dragon Sky-Shattering Slash was unleashed!
Horror!
This terrifying strike left Wang Chongtai dumbfounded. He stared blankly at the pitch-black canyon stretching to the horizon, his face filled with astonishment. Instinctively, he raised his heavy hands and clapped.

Snap, snap, snap.

Is it because she ate the resources? Why does the boss seem to have become so much more monstrous?
Ye Longying looked down at Baili Liehen, a tyrannical smile appearing on her face, clearly very satisfied with her attack power.

She raised her Black Dragon Crescent Blade once more and began to slash wildly, wreaking havoc on the scene within a radius of a thousand miles.

She's going to smash the map to pieces!
"Asura Annihilation Slash!"

"Asura Annihilation Slash!"

"Asura Annihilation Slash!"

Wang Chongtai also boarded the Demon Sky Battleship and stood behind Ye Longying. Looking at the sword strikes that could only cut through twenty or thirty miles, he couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Sister Ying, why aren't you continuing to use the Black Dragon Sky-Shattering Slash?"

He's almost forty, yet he calls a girl who's only twenty-five or twenty-six "sister" so naturally. Who can blame him when Ye Longying is so fierce and ruthless?

That's a powerful move.

Yoru Sakura replied casually, "There is a 1-minute cooldown period."

"hiss"

It's an active attack skill with a cooldown?!

Awesome, awesome.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chongtai couldn't help but gasp in astonishment, filled with envy.

In the world of cultivation, skills with cooldowns are incredibly powerful. Most of them are buff or support skills, with only a very few active attack skills having cooldowns.

A high-grade spirit-level attack skill with a cooldown—who can withstand this strike?
For some reason, Jiang Liu's image suddenly appeared in his mind.

Yes, the invincibility skill can withstand it.

Two minutes, I guess.
