The sound of clashing echoed through the air.
Several beams of white light flashed.
As the troublemaking veteran professionals were all eliminated, Zhang Yue, with his red ID, appeared in the sight of the surrounding onlookers.
“I told you, killing someone from the Temple of Destiny is just asking for trouble!”
“Necromancers are the best! Zhang Yue is truly the pride of new professionals in Zhening Province!”
However, the battle was far from over.
Or rather, it had just begun!
In comparison, the 6-star level 42 BOSS, Nether King Cage, posed a greater challenge.
On the battlefield, the Nether King, leading another Nether Guardian, was wreaking havoc among the crowd, unstoppable!
Amidst the rising screams, beams of white light continuously lit up the Nether Hall map.
Countless people fled in all directions!
A group of fleeing solo professionals was suddenly struck down by two earth-splitting blade lights from behind.
Sitting on the ground, they could only watch in terror as the Nether Guardian, clad in silver armor and exuding an aura of endless slaughter, dragged its twin blades and slowly approached!
The next moment, the Nether Guardian accelerated in a charge.
Just as the group of solo professionals thought they were doomed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless dark red death rays descended from the sky, enveloping the Nether Guardian in a 60-yard diameter circular barrier, dealing continuous damage and slowing it down.
At the same time, mage-exclusive S-rank skills like Inferno, Blizzard, and Thunderstorm instantly bombarded the Nether Guardian.
The massive damage, ranging from – to -, crazily devoured the Nether Guardian’s health bar.
In the next second.
With a deafening roar.
The colossal body of the Twelve-Winged Apocalyptic Black Dragon soared over the heads of the fallen solo professionals, opening its gaping maw to unleash scorching dragon flames and icy dragon breath, engulfing the Nether Guardian!
The damage, exceeding 20,000+, continued to devour the Nether Guardian’s health bar.
Coupled with Zhang Yue’s barrage of S-rank skills, the 42-level lord Nether Guardian, which seemed invincible to the surrounding solo professionals, had no chance to resist in front of Zhang Yue.
In an instant, it was one-shot killed!
The surrounding solo professionals were all dumbfounded.
“So strong!”
After dealing with the Nether Guardian, Zhang Yue set his sights on the ultimate BOSS, the Nether King!
For the upgrade task of the Demon Contract, three BOSSes had to be killed, with a minimum quality of 6 stars.
“Perfect, I’ll use you for the upgrade task.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
In the distance, the Nether King saw its loyal guardian being killed by Zhang Yue, and its hatred immediately focused on Zhang Yue.
Standing eight meters tall and clad in golden armor, the Nether King, like a ferocious beast, wielded a golden war halberd and roared as it charged towards Zhang Yue!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With each step, the ground shook!
Such a powerful aura made people doubt:
“Can Zero really defeat this 6-star BOSS?”
As it approached the effective attack range, the Nether King raised its golden war halberd high, and in the next second, struck the ground.
Boom!
With a loud noise, the ground cracked, heading straight for Zhang Yue!
Zhang Yue used Teleportation to dodge the attack and quickly counterattacked with a barrage of spells.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
All attacks were blocked by the Nether Shield surrounding the Nether King, significantly reducing Zhang Yue’s damage to around 8000-9000.
Then, the Nether King converted the absorbed damage into its own power and counterattacked Zhang Yue!
Several beams of golden light shot straight at Zhang Yue.
At this moment, Sword Emperor Luo Chen suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Yue, using the rapidly rotating sword shadows around him to block the Nether King’s attack!
“Sword Emperor Luo Chen… is he protecting Zero?”
“Aren’t they rivals? At the Gate of Hell in the Fifth World, Luo Chen even teamed up with Radiant Guild to corner Zero!”
Luo Chen’s actions left the onlookers puzzled.
Little did they know, for Luo Chen, he had not yet earned Zhang Yue’s forgiveness and naturally couldn’t let Zhang Yue be in danger.
The next moment, Luo Chen, wielding a silver sword, charged towards the Nether King with hundreds of sword shadows!
Zhang Yue, on the other hand, used the Grim Reaper Set to summon the BOSS Grim Reaper, Tila.
To deal with a 6-star BOSS, you need another 6-star BOSS!
The two 6-star BOSSes clashed, along with the attacks from the Legendary and Mythic Grade professionals, Sword Emperor and Necromancer.
The Nether King was clearly at a disadvantage.
It was continuously pushed back by Luo Chen’s hundreds of sword shadows and Zhang Yue’s S-rank skills.
When the one-minute summoning time ended.
As the Grim Reaper, Tila, disappeared, the Nether King, Cage, also fell to the ground with a “boom”!
“Ding~ Congratulations on killing the level 42 6-star BOSS [Nether King Cage], Experience Points +500,000, Psionic Energy +42,000,000!”
Clatter~
A pile of golden loot rolled off the Nether King’s corpse.
To the surrounding solo professionals, it was infinitely tempting.
But none of them dared to snatch Zhang Yue’s loot.
So, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhang Yue began to collect the spoils.
“Ding~ You picked up 6-level Magic Crystal +38 (Forging Material)!”
“Ding~ You picked up equipment [Nether Armor] (Level 45, 5-star)!”
“Ding~ You picked up Gold Coin +115!”
“Ding~ You picked up equipment [Nether War Halberd] (Level 45, 6-star)…”
“A 6-star drop?”
Zhang Yue looked at the golden war halberd used by the Nether King in his hand.
It turned out to be a 6-star knight weapon!
Without a second thought, Zhang Yue tossed the 5-star Nether Armor along with it to Wu Haotian beside him: “It’s your lucky day.”
Wu Haotian caught the heavy war halberd and armor, his eyes shining with excitement: “Oh my god! 5-star! Oh my god! 6-star!!”
Wu Haotian was beyond ecstatic.
The onlookers were drooling with envy.
“In the level 45 range, 6-star equipment is practically a divine artifact! Even with basic attributes, it would start at a million in the Otherworld Marketplace!”
Just as Wu Haotian was overwhelmed with gratitude, Zhang Yue added: “The armor is a freebie, but the weapon will be deducted from your salary for the next twenty months.”
“…”
Wu Haotian: “Boss, no way!”
Of course, for Zhang Yue, the biggest gain wasn’t this BOSS.
It was the veteran professionals he had slaughtered earlier!
Among the thirty-plus people, they dropped a total of nine pieces of equipment.
All level 45, 5-star golden attributes, top-tier equipment!
Market value, starting at 300,000 each, totaling nearly three million!
Zhang Yue immediately felt: making money is too easy!
He could use a dozen more of such henchmen!
So.
In just one minute, Zhang Yue killed a level 42 6-star BOSS and ended the battle.
Although without Sword Emperor Luo Chen, Zhang Yue could have soloed the BOSS without any problem.
But it couldn’t be denied: Luo Chen saved Lin Tian and Wu Haotian’s lives, and that fact couldn’t be changed.
And now, with all the battles over, Luo Chen approached Zhang Yue and revealed his true purpose: “Senior, I know I was wrong before, but considering I helped you this time, can you forgive me?”
Luo Chen dreamed of hearing Zhang Yue say “I forgive you,” so he could return to Hidden Dragon Mountain and his master.
But reality proved: he was indeed dreaming!
“This time you did help me, but it’s not enough for me to forgive you.”
Luo Chen’s mindset was crumbling: “Senior, what do I have to do for you to forgive me?”
Zhang Yue glanced at Luo Chen and smiled: “Join my guild? Depending on your future performance, if you do well, I might consider forgiving you.”
Lin Tian couldn’t help but sigh: “He finally made a move on the Sword Emperor.”
Wu Haotian: “No wonder the boss said earlier that we were just four people short of a full team for the competition. Turns out the Sword Emperor was already the sixth member pre-selected for our Temple of Destiny!”
