Seeing Zhang Yue step out from the crowd, Chen Jun instinctively moved back, putting some distance between himself and Zhang Yue.
Lying on the ground, Liu Yao lifted his head to look at Zhang Yue, tears streaming down his face like a faucet: “Big brother… help me!”
“Didn’t you want to kill me?” Zhang Yue said to Killer Peppa, “Let Liu Yao go.”
True to his word, Killer Peppa released Liu Yao.
In his eyes, using a hostage to deal with a newly minted Beast Tamer like Zhang Yue would make him look pathetic.
Freed from his bonds, Liu Yao scrambled over to Zhang Yue.
Handing Liu Yao a Return Scroll, Zhang Yue said, “You go back first. Leave the rest to me.”
For the first time, apart from his father, Liu Yao felt an overwhelming sense of security from another man.
He whispered urgently to Zhang Yue, “Brother, you should retreat with me. You can’t beat the Killer Mercenary Group!”
“I’ll have the guild and the revived members hold them off. Let’s hurry back to the city!”
“No need,” Zhang Yue replied. “You go back. Don’t hold me back.”
Seeing Zhang Yue’s firm stance, Liu Yao said no more.
He immediately crushed the Return Scroll.
Soon, a message from Liu Yao appeared in the Supreme Guild chat:
[Supreme Xingyao] (Level 20 Elite Sword and Shield Warrior): “@everyone, anyone who can still revive within the cycle, charge! Support Zhang Yue with everything you’ve got. Don’t be afraid to die. I’ll have the finance department settle the previous compensation and give you an extra 50,000 for each death!”
“Those who can’t revive, retreat. Don’t throw your lives away!”
In no time, all the professionals in the Supreme Guild received a notification of a 30,000 yuan deposit!
This instantly boosted everyone’s morale!
Many of them had parents who were commoners, working all year round without earning much.
They hadn’t planned to help Zhang Yue win this battle. In their eyes, the rewards from taking down a 3-star BOSS weren’t enough to give Zhang Yue the strength to fight the Killer Mercenary Group.
They were prepared to use their second revival within the cycle to earn an extra 50,000 yuan!
At this moment, Zhang Yue held up the 3-star Necromancer’s Staff he had obtained from the Bounty Mission [Skeleton Hunter] reward, ready for battle.
Beside Killer Peppa, a Level 30 Warrior named Killer Boy volunteered, “Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Boss, leave this Beast Tamer to me!”
With that, Killer Boy drew his longsword and charged at Zhang Yue!
The surrounding onlookers began to chatter:
“A newly minted Beast Tamer going up against the Killer Mercenary Group, who’ve been in the Third World for five or six years? How does he dare!”
“Newborn calves aren’t afraid of tigers.”
“I bet this kid won’t last ten seconds!”
“Overestimated. A Beast Tamer is as fragile as a chicken. That Level 30 Warrior from the Killer Mercenary Group can take him out with one strike!”
“Don’t forget, Beast Tamers can summon pets!”
“Pets? They struggle to level up themselves. Summoning a pet at a dozen levels to be kicked around?”
None of the onlookers had any faith in Zhang Yue.
To be precise, no one present believed in Zhang Yue, except Zhang Yue himself.
Standing still, Zhang Yue’s eyes were fixed on Killer Boy.
He waited for his opponent to enter the effective attack range of 30 yards.
His staff began to gather magical energy!
Boom!
A Fireball Spell hit Killer Boy precisely.
-1933! -232 Burn!
The high damage took out more than half of Killer Boy’s health!
Zhang Yue followed up with a basic attack, dealing 819 damage and depleting the rest of Killer Boy’s health, turning him into a beam of white light.
Because the Killer Mercenary Group had previously slaughtered 200 members of the Supreme Guild, most of them were Red Names.
Killing the Red Name professional Killer Boy didn’t give Zhang Yue any Sin points.
But his overwhelming damage stunned everyone present!
Killer Peppa couldn’t believe it: “How is this guy’s damage so high?”
Realizing something was wrong, Killer Peppa drew his longsword and commanded, “All together, kill him!”
Dozens of professionals from the Killer Mercenary Group charged at Zhang Yue!
Zhang Yue remained calm, activating his set skill Summoning, and simultaneously summoned his pets.
In the next second.
Whoosh!
Two Skeleton Warriors appeared in front of Zhang Yue.
One was a regular Skeleton Warrior wielding a large sword.
The other was clad in black armor, with a cape on its back and a crown on its head, exuding a dark aura, looking imposing!
The surrounding onlookers were stunned:
“Isn’t he supposed to be a newly minted professional? How can a Beast Tamer summon two pets before reaching Level 30 and the second profession change?”
“Look closely, the one in armor is his pet. The other one is clearly summoned by a set skill!”
“Wait! Set skill… does he have the full Necromancer Set?!”
As the onlookers were in shock.
Zhang Yue’s ID appeared, with all effects activated!
When the ID “lv25 Necromancer·Zero” appeared above his head, and his entire body glowed with the golden light unique to Golden Attributes equipment.
All the approaching professionals from the Killer Mercenary Group came to a screeching halt, staring in disbelief at Zhang Yue, who habitually carried his staff like a greatsword on his shoulder.
“A full set of Golden Necromancer equipment!!”
“No way… a Level 25 Necromancer? Is this year’s new professional?”
The professionals from the Killer Mercenary Group looked at each other in disbelief.
For Zhang Yue, his goal was already achieved.
In battle, overpowering the opponent in terms of momentum was already half the victory!
Next.
It was hunting time!
Under Zhang Yue’s command, the Dark Skeleton King and the Skeleton Warrior entered battle mode.
Although the Dark Skeleton King wasn’t as large as it was when it was a BOSS, its kingly aura remained unchanged.
It raised its giant sword, seemingly issuing commands, leading the Skeleton Warrior to charge first!
Inheriting 130% of Zhang Yue’s attributes, with nearly 1200 attack, the Skeleton Warrior was extremely fierce!
Even without using skills, its basic attacks dealt 800-900 damage, causing chaos among the Killer Mercenary Group!
Meanwhile, the Dark Skeleton King used its [Charge Assault] to break into the enemy ranks, its [Shadow Sword Array] intimidating all around!
With each swing of its sword, it cut down members of the Killer Mercenary Group trapped in the sword array.
The attacks from the Level 30 professionals of the Killer Mercenary Group, landing on the Dark Skeleton King protected by the A-grade [Shadow Supreme], only dealt a uniform 500-600 damage!
They couldn’t even break the 2000-point shield provided by the Necromancer Set, nor the magic shield Zhang Yue had cast on it!
“Damn! Isn’t this the Golden Skeleton King’s skill?”
“Wait, doesn’t that Skeleton Warrior look like the Skeleton King?”
“Did that kid turn the Skeleton King into a pet???”
“Holy crap! My full set of Level 30 Golden equipment can’t even scratch a skeleton? It’s tougher than the original Skeleton King?!”
In the rear, Zhang Yue, the magic artillery, cast spells rapidly with his 151 Agility attribute!
Boom boom boom boom!
Fireball Spell!
Ice Spike Spell!
Lightning Spell!
Flame Missile!
-1935!
-2769 Critical!
-2098!
-821! -1232 Critical! -832…
After equipping the full set of Level 25 2-star Golden Necromancer Set, Zhang Yue’s damage was explosive!
The Mythic Grade profession’s hundred-star growth allowed this 2-star Necromancer Set to display the value of a 3-star set on Zhang Yue!
Plus, the six-piece set effect: reduces all skill cooldowns by 1 second.
The original 3-second cooldown Fireball Spell became 2 seconds.
The original 5-second cooldown Ice Spike Spell became 4 seconds…
Making Zhang Yue’s skill casting frequency much higher!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
White lights continuously flashed among the Killer Mercenary Group.
Seeing Zhang Yue’s explosive damage.
The professionals from the Supreme Guild didn’t stay idle, charging forward to assist Zhang Yue in fighting the enemies!
Although Zhang Yue’s damage was high, his defense was limited.
With 250 defense points, he couldn’t withstand the attacks from the Level 30 professionals of the Killer Mercenary Group.
A fully equipped Level 30 Assassin from the other side could easily one-shot Zhang Yue with a combo!
So, the task of the Supreme Guild members was to hold off the enemies, preventing them from reaching Zhang Yue, using their lives to form a defensive line, providing Zhang Yue with an optimal output environment.
The Killer Mercenary Group members were left questioning their reality.
“What the hell is this damage?”
“How is this Skeleton King so tough??”
“Damn it, can’t you see that big fragile Beast Tamer? Go stab that Beast Tamer, why are you chasing this iron skeleton!”
“We can’t get through! The Supreme Guild members are crazy, they value money over their lives!”
At this moment, Killer Peppa, watching the unbearable battle situation from the rear, frowned.
Just as he was about to take action himself.
He suddenly received a Feixin message.
Opening the message, Killer Peppa was shocked!
He immediately called the sender: “Is what you said true?”
“It’s true, boss!” the person on the other end said. “Qiqi is with me now. They say the second miss of the Su Family sent her over!”
Then, a little girl’s voice came through: “Daddy! Where are you, Daddy? Qiqi misses you so much…”
Tears involuntarily flowed from Killer Peppa’s weathered eyes.
“Qiqi, Daddy misses you too… Wait for Daddy, I’ll come to you as soon as I finish this!”
Ending the call.
An endless killing intent burned in Killer Peppa’s eyes.
At this moment, Chen Jun, standing behind Killer Peppa, was unaware of what had happened.
He was busy commanding Killer Peppa: “Go on, what are you waiting for? Kill that Beast Tamer for me!”
“Damn it, are you defying my orders? Do you not want to see your daugh…”
Before Chen Jun could finish, Killer Peppa suddenly charged forward, instantly appearing in front of Chen Jun, grabbing him by the throat.
Endless rage burned in Killer Peppa’s eyes.
“Are you tired of living?”
“Then I’ll send you to hell!”
