“Who recited the incantation?”
Wu Haotian was incredulous. “Why did Sword Emperor Luo Chen show up right after we mentioned him?”
“His strength seems formidable,” Tian Xin’er said, her delicate brows furrowed with worry. “And he’s heading straight for the Gate of Hell. He must be coming for us!”
Wu Haotian hefted his flaming spear and asked Zhang Yue, “Boss, should we go out and meet this Sword Emperor?”
“Let him wait outside,” Zhang Yue continued casting spells to hunt demons, seemingly unfazed. “Meeting a master should be done with the proper demeanor.”
Zhang Yue’s words left everyone puzzled.
“Master? Whose master?”
But Zhang Yue offered no further explanation, continuing his demon hunt within Hell City.
Meanwhile, Ouyang Ling’er was anxious. “That guy is blocking us outside the Gate of Hell? If we go out, won’t he attack us? What should we do?”
Wu Haotian glanced at Ouyang Ling’er dismissively. “If you don’t trust our boss, you can trust me!”
“I’ll handle that guy with one hand!”
Ouyang Ling’er rolled her eyes at Wu Haotian. “Yeah, right! Stop bragging, will you?”
So, Tian Xin’er and the others continued to follow Zhang Yue, hunting demons and collecting pieces of the Dark Set.
But everyone was inwardly anxious.
A Legendary Grade enemy was blocking the Gate of Hell; it was hard for them to stay calm.
After all, no Legendary Grade Professionals had emerged in the Dragon Kingdom during this year’s Awakening Day.
Regardless of how Luo Chen became the Sword Emperor, he was the only Legendary Grade Professional among this year’s new awakenings in the Dragon Kingdom!
Only Zhang Yue seemed unaffected, continuing to search Hell City for the remaining pieces of the Grim Reaper Set.
Meanwhile, outside the Gate of Hell.
Sword Emperor Luo Chen arrived and, finding he couldn’t enter, sat cross-legged outside like a cultivator.
Members of the Radiant Guild soon followed.
Radiant Xinghe looked at the Gate of Hell and said, “According to those who have entered, you can’t use Return Scrolls inside. They have to come out here eventually. We just need to wait.”
Ling Ke’er crossed her arms, her gaze cold as she stared at the Gate of Hell. “Tian Xin’er, this time, you won’t escape!”
“And you, Zero! I’ll make you regret rejecting me and daring to kill me!”
Knowing Tian Xin’er was trapped inside, Infinity Phantom had organized multiple attacks on the Radiant Guild’s camp to protect her, but all had failed due to Sword Emperor Luo Chen’s presence.
Gradually, a crowd of curious onlookers gathered.
“Is the Radiant Guild blocking [Zero]?”
“Goodness, who gave them the courage? Liang Jingru? Didn’t they get crushed by Zero before? How dare they come back?”
“This time is different. See that meditating warrior? He’s the top-ranked player in Tianjing and a Legendary Grade Professional, Sword Emperor Luo Chen!”
“Damn! A Legendary Grade Professional? No wonder he’s so powerful. He single-handedly defeated the entire Infinity Guild. His strength is on par with Zero, the top player in Zhening Province!”
“Who do you think is stronger, Luo Chen or Zero?”
“Luo Chen, probably. He’s a Legendary Grade Professional. Zero is strong, but Necromancers are a new Profession that hasn’t been awakened in a century. At best, he’s Rare or Epic Grade, no match for a Legendary.”
Zhang Yue was unaware that an inevitable duel between him and Sword Emperor Luo Chen had already become a hot topic among many freelancers…
Meanwhile, inside Hell City.
Tian Xin’er grew more anxious. “Infinity Guild has failed eight times. Sword Emperor Luo Chen is too strong!”
Even Wu Haotian began to doubt. “Is a Legendary Grade Profession really that powerful?”
“The strongest isn’t the Profession,” Zhang Yue said, casting a spell to kill a wounded demon. “It’s the Professional.”
Liu Yao gave a thumbs-up. “No wonder you’re my big brother. So philosophical!”
Seeing everyone’s worried faces, Zhang Yue said, “It’s just a Legendary Grade Profession. No need to worry.”
Following the guidance of Death’s Eye, Zhang Yue and his team reached a spot guarded by dozens of demons.
With the combined strength of eight people, they slaughtered the demons.
Zhang Yue finally obtained the sixth piece of the Grim Reaper Set: Grim Reaper’s Dance (Lower Body).
Following Death’s Eye, they headed towards the location of the final piece.
Outside the Gate of Hell.
Unknowingly, the Radiant Guild had been guarding the gate for a whole day!
It was now 7 PM, and night had fallen.
Ling Ke’er grew more impatient. “Why haven’t they come out yet?”
Radiant Xinghe said, “Don’t worry, Miss. They probably heard we’re outside and are too scared to come out!”
Ling Ke’er snorted. “Let’s see how long they can hide. If they have the guts, they can stay inside forever!”
“Ugh, I’m starving!” Ling Ke’er looked around and finally at Radiant Xinghe, commanding, “You, kneel down for me!”
“Kneel… kneel down?” Radiant Xinghe was bewildered.
“Didn’t you hear me?”
With a light shout from Ling Ke’er, Radiant Xinghe gritted his teeth and knelt, then lay down as instructed.
Ling Ke’er sat on his back like he was a dog. “Ah, much better!”
No one in the Radiant Guild could stand Ling Ke’er’s temper, but they had to endure it for a better future in the guild.
Even the Radiant Guild members were getting anxious.
Only Sword Emperor Luo Chen remained calm, meditating outside the Gate of Hell, unmoved.
He seemed like a statue.
After another half hour.
Ling Ke’er couldn’t take it anymore. “I’m starving! You guys keep watch. I’m going to eat!”
Everyone had been there since noon, but Ling Ke’er didn’t care if they ate.
Just as she was about to leave, the ground suddenly shook!
At the same time, a dense dark aura emanated from the Gate of Hell!
The Radiant Guild and other freelancers were alarmed.
From the dark aura, countless demons, skinned and dripping with blood, burst forth!
They attacked everyone indiscriminately.
Level 40 demons were overwhelmingly powerful, and many Level 33-34 freelancers couldn’t resist, falling to the demons’ claws!
Finally, Sword Emperor Luo Chen, who had been meditating all afternoon, stood up!
Swish, swish, swish!
As his sword unsheathed, hundreds of sword shadows materialized around him, automatically targeting the demons.
Taking advantage of this, the hundred Radiant Guild members swarmed the demons, easily killing them!
Looking at the Gate of Hell, Luo Chen said, “They’re coming out.”
Meanwhile, inside Hell City.
With the final piece of the Grim Reaper Set, Grim Reaper’s Body (Upper Body), in hand, the complete set appeared before Zhang Yue.
Suddenly, the ground shook violently.
Dark streams of light erupted, forming a black mist before Zhang Yue and his team.
From the mist, a Necromancer in a black cloak, exuding death, stepped out!
Above his head was a blood-red ID that shocked everyone except Zhang Yue—
[Grim Reaper, Tila] (lv40 Magic Type, 6-star BOSS)!
