Ma Baoguo was absolutely furious.

He'd lived this long and had never suffered such humiliation!

"Your grandma doesn't love you, and your uncle doesn't care about you!"

"Your left cheek is begging to be slapped, and your right cheek is begging to be kicked!"

Just listen to that! Could that even be called human speech?

He glared fixedly at Bao Lao Er.

He looked as if he wanted to swallow the foul-mouthed little fatty whole.

As a veteran Zu'an native, how could Bao Lao Er be satisfied with just that?

He kept spewing insults.

"Ma Baoguo, we were all born of people, so how come there's such a huge difference between us?"

"Just look at that face of yours. The top half's all wrinkles, and the bottom half's all jowls. You're the spitting image of a Yuanmou Man!"

"When other people hang their photos on the wall, it's a feast for the eyes!"

"When you hang yours on the wall, it wards off evil spirits. Hang it by the bed, and it'll keep people from getting pregnant!"

"Every time I see your horse face, wrinkled like orange peel, I feel a surge of intellectual superiority!"

"I really have to wonder: when your mama gave birth to you, did she set you to random?"

"Or were you born from your mama and a QR code?"

"If I were you, Ma Baoguo, I'd have flushed myself down the toilet ages ago!"

"You should just die already. At least then you'd make some contribution by entertaining everyone!"

"Every holiday, I'll bring the brothers over to your grave to dance and shout 'sayonara'... Look, won't that be festive!"

Bao Lao Er was like a machine gun, rattling on without pause, spitting out dozens of words a second.

Ma Baoguo's blood rushed to his head, and stars danced before his eyes. His face turned red amid the green, and green amid the red.

But would the players from Zu'an Squad let Ma Baoguo off that easily?

Soon, a stream of foul language bombarded him.

"Ma Baoguo, you're shameless around the clock. That's how you know you've reached the pinnacle of shamelessness!"

"Ma Baoguo, with all the weapons in Yanhuang, you had to learn swordsmanship. You don't practice the upper sword, just the lower sword; you don't practice the golden sword, just the silver sword. Congratulations, you've finally reached the state of becoming one with the sword—a sword-person!"

"My son Baoguo, your father regrets it now. Why didn't I have you shoot at the wall back then!"

"Ma Baoguo, you white-haired old fool, you gray-bearded scoundrel! Your dad has never seen anyone as shameless as you!"

Zu'an Squad kept coming up with new variations, cursing Ma Baoguo without the slightest restraint.

Poor Ma Baoguo. Among the New Gods, he was already a shameless old schemer.

But the gods of the World of Gods had a pitifully limited vocabulary for insults.

All they could do was repeat words like "vile," "shameless," "base," and "idiot."

Nothing like the people of Zu'an, who could launch a 360-degree verbal assault from every direction, never repeating themselves!

When Zu'an Squad began spewing insults for the second round, Ma Baoguo's vision suddenly went black.

The next moment, a rush of blood surged to his head.

His throat turned sweet, and with a loud retch, he spat out a mouthful of blood!

Under the bright green poison buff, his aura grew weaker still.

Seeing this, the players all cheered.

"Zu'an people are awesome! Bao Lao Er is awesome!"

"Long live Brother Bao!"

"Zu'an's Bao Lao Er is terrifying!"

"Ma Baoguo, you're about to croak!"

Bao Lao Er proudly clasped his hands toward the players around him.

"You're too kind, you're too kind!"

As the players cheered without restraint, Gu Du wasn't about to let such an opportunity pass him by.

He drew a deep breath and shouted,

"Sharp Knife Team, follow me!"

Sharp Knife Team was made up of some of the strongest players, with the highest levels among them.

Led by Gu Du, most of them had entered Immortal Path in the first or second wave of players.

At once, Gu Du, Li Taibai, Evolve Egg, Luo Mou Ren, and several other players charged straight at Ma Baoguo.

By now, under the players' reckless attacks, countless of Ma Baoguo's Scorpion Lion Believers had been killed or wounded.

The Mountain Gate, which had been blocked, was now open.

Li Taibai and the others swung their homemade weapons and rained blows down on Ma Baoguo.

Thud, thud, clang, clang, crash!

Ma Baoguo, a dignified Demi-God, was subjected to the players' merciless assault!

His aura grew weaker and weaker, and he looked ready to collapse at any moment.

"Damn it!"

Ma Baoguo's eyes were bloodshot, and fury consumed him.

He had never imagined that he would end up like this in a Divine War!

Feeling his Divine Power rapidly draining away,

a vicious glint suddenly flashed in Ma Baoguo's eyes.

"Ye Yu, since you don't want me to live!"

"Then we'll all die together!"

As the thought crossed his mind, the Divine Power remaining inside Ma Baoguo surged wildly.

A sacred aura burst out of him!

"O great Great God Arbor, grant power to your most devout believer!"

"Arbor Cross Slash!"

A whispered prayer came from Ma Baoguo's lips.

The next moment, a blinding Holy Light gathered in the air!

The light took the shape of a colossal cross-shaped sword and came crashing down with unstoppable force!

The terrifying Divine Power emanating from the Holy Light Cross Sword spread out in every direction in an instant.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Countless flashes of white light burst into view!

Gu Du, Li Taibai, Evolve Egg, Luo Mou Ren... along with Bao Lao Er and the Zu'an Squad players still hurling insults, were all instantly killed before they could even react!

Divine Power surged like storm waves, ravaging the plaza!

Players were killed in droves!

In an instant, the entire plaza fell silent.

Every player was terrified!

Wasn't Ma Baoguo terrifying?

With just one attack, he'd killed dozens of players!

How the hell were they supposed to fight that?

Gu Du had just revived, and his face was grim.

The BOSS's strength had surpassed his expectations.

He'd thought that with the Trap Squad, King Grey Wolf's poison,

and Zu'an Squad, led by Bao Lao Er, they could weaken the BOSS by at least seventy percent!

Who would have thought that although Ma Baoguo had indeed been weakened, even in his weakened state, he could still kill the players with a casual wave of his hand!

This wasn't a BOSS the players could handle.

"Die! Every last one of you, die!"

A savage smile spread across Ma Baoguo's face.

In the air, the Holy Light Cross Sword had yet to finish falling!

That attack just now had only been the shockwave of Divine Power released by the Holy Light Cross Sword!

The true target of the Holy Light Cross Sword was Ye Yu!

"So what if he's just a BOSS?"

"We can die a few more times. Who's afraid of that?"

"Charge!"

Gu Du took a deep breath and shouted.

At his words, the players who'd been stunned by Ma Baoguo immediately came to their senses!

Right, this was a game.

So what if the BOSS was powerful?

We could use human-wave tactics. We could pile up enough bodies to kill him!

At once, countless players surged with fighting spirit and charged toward Ma Baoguo, shouting wildly.
