Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Under the enemy city wall, Gu Nan had already returned to Wu Gui’s side once again with Blink. Then he gazed at the opposite city wall and couldn't help sighing slightly.

"There's a little trouble. A third person came here."

Gu Nan was talking about that one-eyed Star Ruler. After another wave of solo tower diving, he was once again left with heavy injuries, so he couldn’t attack that person anymore.

Moreover, Protection of Buddha’s Heart also had a cooldown, so it couldn’t be used on him again for a period of time.

"Is it someone from the other lane?" Wu Gui quickly realized, raising her brow.

Gu Nan nodded wordlessly. These Star Rulers really weren’t simple characters. Even if he used his ample experience to suppress them for a while, their understanding of the situation was still not far behind his.

After Gu Nan went over to the other lane for a tower dive, the one-eyed Star Ruler quickly realized that the same thing might be done here, so he hurried to this lane.

It’s just that he was a little late, but despite this, he still brought Gu Nan a lot of trouble.

Because in the following city siege, the difference between having an enemy champion assist with defense and not having one was simply unreasonable.

"I'll tank the city wall’s attack and kill him!" Wu Gui suggested without hesitation.

She also understood this situation, so even if she had to give up her own life, she still must trade kills with that enemy champion. They’d only have a chance of breaking through the city’s defenses if that person died.

However, Gu Nan shook his head slightly. "He knows that we can tower dive, so how can he still be on the city wall?"

Wu Gui stared blankly. When she glanced at the city wall again, the one-eyed Star Ruler had indeed already disappeared. She gazed down at the battlefield with a frown. The two sides had already started fighting on the ground. The enemy champion seemed to be hiding among the minions.

Even without the minion waves on the ground, there were still a small number of minions stationed inside the city wall to serve as the last line of defense.

If the enemy champion didn’t exist, Gu Nan and Wu Gui could totally wipe out these minions swiftly and then take part in the siege.

"We’ll push the wave. As long as he dares to show himself, you’ll use your ability to pull aggro, and I'll kill him." Gu Nan told Wu Gui, "If he doesn't show himself, then we’ll clear the wave."

As long as they cleared all the enemy waves, the one-eyed Star Ruler would have nowhere left to hide.

So the two came to the forefront of the battle line, attacking the enemy minions while paying attention to the enemy's movements.

This time, however, the two of them were searching in the open, while the enemy was hiding in the dark. Law fluctuations periodically appeared on the frontline, but when the two tried to give chase, the enemy had long since disappeared.

"What is he doing?" Wu Gui frowned a little. She didn’t understand why the other party exposed his location from time to time but didn’t make any substantial moves.

‘Is he trying to interfere with our wave-clearing efficiency?’

"He’s last hitting," Gu Nan answered with a heavy expression. Even in such a chaotic situation, he still found the one-eyed Star Ruler’s true goal.

"He probably dealt lots of killing blows in the other lane." Gu Nan stared at the law fluctuation that appeared yet again. "He wants to wait until he gets his second ability. That way, it might even be possible for him to fight us head-on."

Gu Nan understood that the reason he could suppress these Star Rulers was because he could bully them for having no abilities or having only learned one attack ability.

Once the opponents also learned a variety of abilities, Gu Nan wouldn’t be able to get instant kills anymore.

And inside the enemy’s city walls, not being able to instakill them was akin to not being able to do anything to them.

Wu Gui also frowned heavily. She realized how crafty the other party's choice was—it just happened to take advantage of their weak point. If they allowed the other party to survive this wave, then their own advantage over the enemy would shrink.

After thinking for a moment, she suggested, "I'll lure—"

"No need," Gu Nan interrupted her. "This person wants to compete with me in last hitting. In that case, let’s have a contest."

……

Yang Guang was already standing underneath the city wall belonging to the Black Base, raising his spear high and shouting excitedly.

He learned martial arts from an early age, and his martial arts skills were also famous in his village. It’s just that he never had a chance to step onto a bigger stage before, but now the moment he was waiting for finally arrived.

"Kill! Follow me and kill them!" Yang Guang pointed his spear to the front. Several soldiers immediately charged forward with him. His younger brother Yang Quan was naturally among them.

Ground battles in Champions World weren’t done with all the troops as a single unit. Rather, the soldiers mostly moved as small teams when fighting in skirmishes.

And on their way here, Yang Guang had already been appointed as the captain of a six-soldier team because of his outstanding performance earlier.

"Ah Guang! Move back!" The team didn't charge long before Yang Quan's voice rang out from behind him.

Although Yang Guang was the team captain, he didn’t doubt his younger brother’s judgment at all and withdrew without another word while calling out an order for his companions to do the same.

Sure enough, the enemy’s formation suddenly packed together before long, and the number of enemy troops in front of them instantly became denser.

If they hadn't retreated in advance, they would probably have been surrounded.

"Ah Quan, you’re great!" A companion next to him still held some lingering fear as he patted Yang Quan on the shoulder and praised him with a smile.

Yang Quan’s fair and clear face showed a peaceful smile, but he didn’t speak.

Unlike his older brother Yang Guang, Yang Quan's martial arts skills weren’t very outstanding, but he was well-read on books on the art of war since childhood, so he was very familiar with the enemy’s formation changes and battlefield situation, making him an excellent commander.

At this moment, he was trying to arrange manpower to consolidate their formation when he heard a muffled grunt from the front.

"Ah Guang!?” When Yang Quan looked up, the sight tore him apart. It turned out that an arrow had lodged itself in Yang Guang’s stomach, instantly sinking into it.

The team immediately panicked, hurriedly rushing forward to snatch Yang Guang back. The group surrounded Yang Guang protectively.

"Ah Guang! Are you okay, Ah Guang?" Yang Quan shook Yang Guang's body, trying to keep him awake. If he passed out at this time, it really would be over.

Yang Guang covered his wound with one hand. He kept on throwing up blood, and even his gaze was slackening.

Yang Quan was about to go crazy. He tore off his soldier’s uniform and tried to stop the bleeding, but it was simply useless. Vaguely, he saw a mysterious light float up above his brother.

"This is…" Yang Quan looked up in amazement. He had never seen such a thing before.

At that moment, an inexplicable fluctuation appeared beside the two, and a one-eyed person revealed himself. He was precisely the one-eyed Star Ruler from the Black Base.

"Another one." The one-eyed Star Ruler chuckled. Some gratification shone through in his eyes. Of course he also found the world’s mark on certain dying minions, and he was obviously very satisfied with another 30 champion coins entering his account.

Yang Quan didn't recognize the other party, but that strange fluctuation made him immediately understand the newcomer’s identity.

Champion! The enemy champion!

His critically injured older brother was still in his arms, but the enemy he couldn’t win against was right in front of him. This unsolvable dilemma plunged Yang Quan into deep despair.

Right now, Yang Quan dearly hoped that a champion would appear in time to save them.

But reason told him that in such a chaotic battle, it was likely that not even the esteemed champions could do anything…

‘Will there be a miracle?’

Yang Quan couldn't help raising his head and saw Gu Nan's figure still floating high in the sky. He seemed to notice the situation here and sent out a black light with a flick of his hand, which shot straight at them.

Yang Quan's heart suddenly found some hope again. ‘Even if, even if it just stopped the other party for a second, this will give the esteemed champion a chance to come here, won't it?!’

But the one-eyed Star Ruler was sneering in his heart.

He was a powerful Star Ruler figure, so he knew the situation far better than Yang Quan. ‘It’s merely a simple application of the other party’s passive law. It's impossible for it to affect me, and even if it hits ordinary soldiers… Huh?’

In the enemy champion’s one good eye, the black light quickly turned into a small sword and instantly cut off Yang Guang's head.
