Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

Chapter 380: Chapter 170: Assassin, Dark Weapon Mastery_3

At the instant Tai Zhong activated the Gravity Array, Yi Tian began commanding the Elemental Warriors to attack with their skills.

Two thousand single-target Elemental Warriors appeared atop the city walls, unleashing their skills downward.

Shadow Clone, Nine-Linked Fireballs, Ice Soul Arrow, Wooden Spear, Lightning.

Five-colored light painted the night sky.

Some of these attacks randomly targeted the siege ropes and the yet-unrevealed Red Race assassins.

The rest focused specifically on the revealed ones.

On average, every Red Race assassin was struck by ten Elemental attacks.

It looked extremely mighty and domineering; at the very least, the Red Race assassins were startled.

The assassins all drew short swords and daggers, attempting to fend off these Elemental attacks.

Only a few calm assassins regarded these attacks with disdain, letting them hit their bodies without care.

After that barrage of skills, only a little over twenty Red Race assassins with less than 1200 in their attributes were killed.

Another ten or so Red Race assassins were severely wounded and fell; dozens, due to their strong attributes, only suffered minor injuries.

Yi Tian shot dead one Red Race assassin with attributes at 2000. Guan Yu, Huo Qubing, Yue Fei, Zijin Guang, Dongfang Ye, each—with Archery Mastery above level 5—also shot dead an assassin.

The Five Tiger Generals unleashed their talents. Except for Tiger Two, who habitually captured alive, the other four each took out a tough Red Race assassin.

The Red Race’s Cloud Void Stone wasn’t invincible.

Many Red Race assassins revealed themselves during counterattacks.

Seven-Colored True Flame!

Fourth Child took action, leaping onto the battlement, spewing Seven-Colored Flames from her mouth.

Spiritual Power 1020+, Fire Mystical Technique LV.5.

Fourth Child’s flames were deadly.

She had only just begun to spit out flames for one second before two Red Race assassins were reduced to ashes.

Seven-Colored Flames spewed from Fourth Child’s mouth, as thick as a turret, threatening to engulf all the Red Race assassins.

”Chi Ying, Red Race, Deputy Hall Master of Great Fei Kingdom’s Black Blood Hall. Strength 2455, Constitution 2418, Agility 2533. Talent: Wind Shadow, S-level, activates Wind Shadow: Agility increases by 50%. Skills: Short Sword Mastery LV.7, Hidden Weapon Mastery LV.9, Water Mastery LV.5, Stealth LV.5...”

Hidden Weapon Mastery LV.9, increases attack power with hidden weapons by 90%, shield-breaking by 40%.

In the instant Chi Ying revealed himself, Yi Tian caught sight of him.

Upon seeing the Red Race’s Hidden Weapon Mastery, Yi Tian yanked Fourth Child’s clothes, pulling her down from the battlement immediately.

”Whoosh!”

Fourth Child had hardly been spitting flames for more than two seconds before Yi Tian forcibly interrupted her.

As Fourth Child tumbled down the battlement, a flying dagger whizzed past the very spot where she had stood.

That was too close!

It wasn’t that Yi Tian could dodge this flying dagger, but that as soon as he saw Chi Ying’s attribute panel and knew he’d revealed himself, it was clear it was for the sole purpose of killing Fourth Child with that dagger.

Predicting Chi Ying’s attack.

Looking again at the Red Race assassin captured by Tiger Two.

Strength 1322, Constitution 1322, Agility 1401, Skills: Hidden Weapon Mastery LV.2.

When Chi Ying appeared, Yi Tian had a chance to use Ice and Fire Celestial Palm, but for Fourth Child’s sake, he let go of the opportunity.

Yi Tian was right!

It was the first time Yi Tian had ever seen a level 9 skill on an indigenous person—and it was a hidden weapon skill.

”Everyone be careful! All of these enemies are assassins skilled in hidden weapons, do not expose yourselves!”

Yi Tian shouted to the crowd.

Chi Ying’s hidden weapon and stealth assassination skills were perfected; even with Earth Bear and Third Child here, there was no way to withstand them head-on.

Lei Yuan, with Gold Mystery LV.5, had strong Defense Power, but the Red Race’s 40% shield-breaking meant Lei Yuan’s powerful shield could only perform a bit over half as well. If targeted by Chi Ying, he’d be doomed!

And it wasn’t just Chi Ying—other assassins wielded hidden weapons too.

As expected, seven Elemental Warriors were too slow to duck, their heads shattered by assassins using flying blades, daggers, and needles.

One hidden weapon was aimed at Xin Qiji, but he blocked with his sword.

Another flying dagger was aimed at Third Child; Third Child activated Vajra Indestructible and shattered the weapon.

One went for Tai Zhong, who used his shield to defend.

”All Elemental Warriors off the wall! Five Tiger Generals, off the wall too!”

”Overlord Body Soldiers stay, Giant Spirit Soldiers and Streamlight Warriors off the wall!”

The enemy’s attribute panels couldn’t be fully scouted. Yi Tian realized he had underestimated the Red Race’s methods.

Assassin as a profession—this was Yi Tian’s first encounter in the Celestial Dao World.

Exposure meant casualties—Yue Fei, Guan Yu, Huo Qubing, Xin Qiji—heroes he trusted and revered.

If they died to hidden weapons, it would be not worth it.

Yi Tian ordered Elemental Warriors to retreat, preparing for close combat with the enemy.

The Five Tiger Generals weren’t physically suited for raw melee; after releasing their talents, they needed to leave quickly.

Overlord Body Soldiers stayed because their constitution and shields could stall some assassins.

Clearly, his side had overwhelming strength, yet Yi Tian hesitated, wary.

If there was a strong fighter to draw out Chi Ying, his side’s powerhouses could easily destroy him.

But Yi Tian could never make that choice!

”Dad, I know which rope the guy that attacked Fourth Sister is on. I’ll wait on the battlement. Once he comes up, I’ll kill him in an instant. As long as the distance is close, his agility is useless—he won’t escape my attack.”

Sixth Child finished speaking, then vanished, leaping onto a battlement.

This battlement was directly along Chi Ying’s path.

Once invisible, even with a Cloud Void Stone, Sixth Child could sense Chi Ying’s general location.

Invisible Concealment—turning solid into void—she was truly hidden.

Sixth Child’s words made Yi Tian’s eyes light up.

That Chi Ying was highly agile; his S-level talent was agility-based.

But Chi Ying’s constitution wasn’t that high.

Sixth Child, with 1020+ Spiritual Power, could use her Divine Talent—Spiritual Sky Strike—on him; he’d never recover from it.

If attacking from range, Chi Ying could certainly dodge with S-level speed.

With Invisible Concealment, Sixth Child would only be revealed once her fist landed on Chi Ying.

Chi Ying had fifth-level Hidden Weapon Mastery and could use a Cloud Void Stone to stay hidden.

Seventh-Child had a Divine Artifact but couldn’t reveal himself either.

As soon as this greatest threat was eliminated, the others could unleash their talents and start the counterattack.

”Liyue, Qixin, Seventh-Child, Fourth Child, Fifth Child, Big Child, Second Child, Third Child—enter the city tower! Big Child and Third Child defend, Seventh-Child use Divine Thunder from the gourd to strike enemy elites, Liyue, Qixin, Fourth Child, Fifth Child support!”

Yi Tian likewise arranged the Calabash Sisters.

There was ranged support, and hard-line close combat!

Black Blood Hall’s sneak attacks failed—they switched to a frontal assault.

”The Lord’s Elemental Warriors can no longer hurt us. Let’s push forward and climb the walls. If they show their heads, kill them with hidden weapons!” Chi Ying shouted.

The Black Blood Hall assassins had undergone hellish training since childhood. Of the two hundred assassins left, a quarter had mastered Hidden Weapon skills.

The rest were all highly skilled in hidden weapons. Their hidden weapons were forged from special metals—unbeatable magical treasures.

The Red Race assassins gradually adapted to the Gravity Array and kept climbing.

Elemental Warriors began retreating from different stretches of the wall.

Few members remained atop the wall, but each one represented the territory’s peak combat power.
