033 Clear the Field!

The Ogre Canyon is located north of Zone 9 on the main map. Barring any surprises, the monster levels there range from 32 to 38. The Hurricane team from the US server had monopolized the area for leveling with a large number of guild members. They had scouted it beforehand and confirmed there were no tribal patrols, and since the ogres were slow-moving, it was easy to level up if they brought Frost Mages along.

"This really is a leveling paradise. In just two days, 30 of our players have broken into the top 100 on the level leaderboard!" The guild leader of the Hurricane team was in high spirits. Currently, three of the top 10 players on the leaderboard belonged to his guild. If this continued for a few more days, he suspected half of the top 100 would be his own guild members.

"This intelligence was worth every penny!" Finding such an ideal leveling spot wasn't easy; the Hurricane team had paid a hefty sum to acquire the information. There were many "pioneer" studios in the game that sold leveling tips or the locations of special NPCs. The Hurricane team had purchased the information about this site from the Wujiang Studio.

Because of the rich experience offered by this spot, the guild players were highly motivated, all eager to climb into the top 100. The highest-level player currently was Putin from the French server, who had reached a terrifying level 36. It was unclear how this wealthy individual managed to reach such a level, but it was certain he must have paid many people to help him boost his experience.

Charge!
Bloodthirst!

Suddenly, chaos erupted in the healing party. It seemed someone had charged in and started a slaughter. With a single Whirlwind, over twenty healers were instantly killed. Before anyone could figure out why this Dragonborn was causing trouble, Chen Feng launched a Spinning Throwing Axe, instantly killing a large group of Frost Mages who were still channeling Blizzard.

"Stop him! Cut him down!" The Hurricane guild leader roared in fury. He had heard of Blood Dragon, but he never expected him to target them. There were several professional players here farming experience—did this guy really dare to come here and clear the map alone? Did he not know that the Hurricane team was the third-ranked team in the United States?

Cleave!

A Cleave infused with a Thunder Rune erupted with a burst of electricity. In addition to a guaranteed critical hit, it dealt an extra 50% damage. The warrior charging at Chen Feng was instantly killed by the move. After taking out the warrior blocking his path, Chen Feng used Heroic Leap to jump into another group. His Whirlwind was off cooldown, and as he spun his two axes, a massive wave of wind blades flew out, killing another batch of players.

Just as the hunters, mages, and elemental shamans focused their fire on Chen Feng, he activated Stealth and vanished. All magic attacks passed through where he had been standing, failing to connect. A large group of rogues closed in on his position, thinking he had fled and hoping to flush him out. Unexpectedly, just as they gathered, Chen Feng—who had activated "God Mode"—used Shockwave to stun the clustered rogues. With Endless Rage activated, he didn't need to worry about rage management; he swept out with a Cleave, killing all five rogues instantly.

In God Mode, Chen Feng’s basic attacks dealt over 2,600 damage. A rogue failed a sneak attack and was reduced to near-death by a single swing from Chen Feng; a follow-up strike from his off-hand weapon finished the job. Never knowing when to stop, Chen Feng continued his frenzied slaughter. No player standing in his way could withstand his strikes.

Anger Strike!

A warrior tank, who had activated Shield Wall to mitigate 60% of damage, was instantly killed by Chen Feng’s Anger Strike. Chen Feng intercepted a group of mages and elemental shamans, using another Whirlwind to cut them all down. Against this rabble, Chen Feng felt no pressure at all. If he were in the Chinese server, he wouldn't dare to kill like this; many guilds there had become clever, not rushing to attack but finding optimal positioning. However, foreign players had never seen such a scene. Even in the highly competitive US server, professional players dared not slaughter like this. When had American players ever seen someone clear an entire map?

"That’s enough!" A blond youth blocked Chen Feng’s path with a two-handed sword. He was a Retribution Paladin. But Chen Feng ignored him, sending a Bloodthirst his way. The blond youth, who initially thought he could defend, realized he had no time to parry. He immediately activated Divine Shield, thinking that if he could just hold Chen Feng back, he would be finished, and the orange axe in his hand would drop.

Shattering Throw!

The intent was noble, but reality was cruel. This professional player from the Hurricane team, acting like a novice who had never seen the world, had his invulnerability removed by Chen Feng. He was reduced to near-death by an Anger Strike and fell to a follow-up Storm Strike. Sensing that the gear this guy dropped might be decent, Chen Feng picked up his pauldrons and tossed them into his bag.

Seeing two seemingly formidable players approaching, Chen Feng immediately pulled out a shield and activated Shield Reflection, reflecting all the incoming spells. Generally, Shield Reflection could only reflect one spell, but when all spells were gathered together to attack, Chen Feng could reflect them all. This required high-level operational skill; he had to activate it just as the spells were about to hit him, and he had to turn his back to them to ensure they hit the shield’s focus. Having been frequently schemed against by the top ten guilds in the Chinese server, Chen Feng reflected the spells back quite naturally.

Of course, reflecting all spells had a downside: the shield’s durability dropped rapidly. Chen Feng was using a white-tier shield, so he simply threw it away after the reflection. The players, having gathered to focus fire on him, were now clustered together. Chen Feng charged in and used another Whirlwind, killing several more players who hadn't managed to activate their damage-mitigation skills.

Not a single bit of challenge...

Chen Feng had expected some pressure from a US-based team, but even with professional players present, they couldn't stop him. They managed to drop his health to 35%, but with Windfury's recovery, a single critical Anger Strike instantly topped his health back off.

Spinning Throwing Axe!

Once his area-of-effect skills were off cooldown, Chen Feng used them immediately, killing another dozen players in one burst. The two more capable mages and hunters had ducked to avoid the axes, but they never expected Chen Feng to charge over. He had recalled the axes early, and before they could even get up, he launched his attack. One can imagine their fate. Even if they reacted quickly, being on the ground made them easy targets. With Chen Feng’s high damage, the cloth and leather-clad classes were simply blown apart.

"Too slow!"

Chen Feng grabbed a rogue who tried to sneak-attack him and used him as a meat shield. A barrage of spells landed on the rogue, killing him instantly. Chen Feng unleashed a Shockwave, stunning two mages and three elemental shamans, then rushed over to finish them off with quick strikes.

Storm Strike!

A weapons warrior charged at Chen Feng from behind. Chen Feng didn't even need to look; he lashed out with a backhand Storm Strike, slamming it into the warrior's face for over 10,000 damage. Storm Strike could serve as an anti-stealth skill; when used backhanded, the damage was extremely high. Combined with the momentum of the warrior’s charge, the strike easily broke 10,000 damage, even without a critical hit.

Thunder Clap!

Whirlwind!

The rogues who tried to get close to control Chen Feng were knocked out of stealth by his Thunder Clap and immediately finished off by a Whirlwind. Seeing his interception skills were still on cooldown, Chen Feng tossed out a Demoralizing Banner and Heroically Leaped to its side to unleash another burst of damage.

Heroic Throw!

The Hurricane guild leader couldn't believe his eyes. Driven to the brink of madness, he charged at Chen Feng, who infused a Thunder Rune into his Heroic Throw and launched his Arcanite Axe. It dealt 7,895 damage, killing him instantly.

After Chen Feng’s rampage, more than half of the Hurricane guild members present were dead. Only a few on the periphery remained. They didn't flee, continuing to exchange fire with Chen Feng, but they knew this was merely a final, futile resistance.

In 2 minutes and 17 seconds, Chen Feng had cleared all the Hurricane team players from Ogre Canyon. The area was littered with corpses and dropped loot. After the reporter finished taking pictures, Chen Feng began picking up items. He had originally thought about running when he encountered the professional Paladin, but he hadn't expected these pros to be so idiotic, so he simply wiped them out.

His inventory was limited, so he took what he could and left the rest for the reporter. He had told the reporter to reach level 30 before he started using the Blood Dragon account, and the reporter had paid people to power-level him. If he hadn't made some money selling gear while following Chen Feng in the past, he wouldn't have been able to afford professional help. Now, having reached the main map, he finally saw the light. Aside from this major scoop, he could sell all this gear and loot—he had hit the jackpot.

Of course, as a professional journalist, this was just extra income; Chen Feng didn't technically have to give him anything. Regardless, Chen Feng didn't have the time to pick everything up, and he would rather the reporter have the loot than leave it for the Hurricane players. When the Hurricane team's pro players finally arrived at the scene, they saw only respawning ogres in the canyon; the rest of their guild had been forced to log off.

What was most infuriating was that a post appeared on the global forums and various national forums titled: "Hurricane Team Monopolizing Leveling Spot Wiped Out by Dragon Brother—No Challenge—Quote from Dragon Brother." The Hurricane team desperately wanted to kick that reporter; he had recorded the entire video, ending with a screenshot of Blood Dragon standing amidst the corpses of the Hurricane players.

"Gear dropped by Hurricane Guild players, come get it if you're fast, second-hand goods from Dragon Brother's sweep..." The reporter’s friends helped him sell the loot. When the Hurricane pros returned to their base and saw this guy openly selling their dropped gear, they rushed over, looking to kill him, but the nearby guards held them back.

"Aren't these the pros from the Hurricane team? So they weren't killed by Dragon Brother after all!" a merchant who had previously been bullied by the Hurricane players mocked. He couldn't beat the pros, but they dared not touch him in the safe zone. The ones who had tried were already warned, and a second attempt would result in an instant kill.

After being cleared out, the Hurricane team had lost all face. Now, being ridiculed and unable to retaliate, they had no choice but to retreat to their base in the US server.

Incidents of Blood Dragon clearing maps were happening everywhere; the Hurricane guild just happened to be the ones the reporter caught on video and posted to the forums. Chen Feng’s high-profile clearing of the main map had angered many teams, and a large number of professionals were now discussing how to deal with Blood Dragon. And that was exactly the effect Chen Feng wanted: the more people who came to hunt him, the better!
