In front, with the assistance of the Forbidden Mage and the Glimmering Assassin, Zhang Yue managed to take down the Undead Sovereign.
However, due to Overlord Blade letting the undead warriors in, Su Jinyan and Tian Xin’er both perished.
Originally, Zhang Yue was worried about how to deal with the Abyss Sovereign next.
But now, it seemed that Overlord Blade could take on this task and help him complete it!
Of course, for Overlord Blade, he wasn’t foolish. He knew that once he killed the Abyss Sovereign, he would be helping Zhang Yue complete his mission.
But what he thought was: he had spent too much effort and energy on this task.
He had wasted twenty-two years and didn’t want to continue this struggle anymore.
His goal was that SSS-grade reward.
Killing the Abyss Sovereign directly, letting Zhang Yue complete the mission and get the SSS-grade reward, then killing Zhang Yue to loot the reward from him, was just as good!
After all, from their previous encounters, Overlord Blade had already seen the vast difference in strength between him and Zhang Yue.
To him, killing Zhang Yue was as easy as pie!
So, Zhang Yue played along with Overlord Blade’s intentions, continuing to feign weakness.
The Abyss Sovereign’s attacks were twofold.
While attacking Overlord Blade, it also used the death rays from its single eye to attack Zhang Yue!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Zhang Yue kept dodging the attacks, each evasion was a close call, making him look extremely disheveled!
In stark contrast to Overlord Blade, who was advancing and retreating with ease.
Seeing Zhang Yue completely outmatched by the Abyss Sovereign, if it weren’t for Overlord Blade holding it back, Zhang Yue would have been torn apart by now.
Overlord Blade snorted, “I didn’t expect you to be even weaker than I thought!”
“Two million per head, Radiant Guild really overestimates you.”
Overlord Blade wasn’t in a hurry to deal with Zhang Yue, focusing all his attention on the Abyss Sovereign.
But he ultimately underestimated the Abyss Sovereign’s strength.
Even with a 6-star quality God of War set, Overlord Blade alone was no match for the Abyss Sovereign, Baru!
After a few rounds, Baru seemed to give up on Zhang Yue, the “rookie,” and shifted his focus to the more troublesome Overlord Blade.
Seizing an opportunity, Baru’s two eyes simultaneously shot death rays at Overlord Blade!
Double the attack!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Overlord Blade couldn’t withstand it, being repeatedly pushed back, his health bar plummeting!
At this moment, Zhang Yue coincidentally used an Ice Field to freeze Baru, inadvertently saving Overlord Blade.
“This idiot really helped me out!” Overlord Blade found Zhang Yue’s “mistake” amusing, taking the chance to recover before charging forward again.
From then on, Overlord Blade took the lead in dealing damage, while Zhang Yue played the role of a rookie, assisting Overlord Blade.
Occasionally, a small “mistake” from Zhang Yue would help Overlord Blade avoid danger.
Thus, in this illegal team-up of two enemies, the Abyss Sovereign became the unlucky one.
With Overlord Blade stacking damage, he reached a terrifying 30,000+ damage, leaving the Abyss Sovereign with just a sliver of health.
At this moment, Zhang Yue seized the opportunity and unleashed a Thunderstrike, killing it!
Roar—
With a deafening roar, the massive body of the Abyss Sovereign, Baru, fell to the ground.
“Ding~ Congratulations on killing the level 45 6-star BOSS [Abyss Sovereign, Baru], you received: 1.2 million experience points, 45 million psionic energy!”
“Ding~ Congratulations on completing the mission [Pharaoh’s Prophecy]!”
At this moment, Zhang Yue, feeling relieved, said to Overlord Blade, “Thanks.”
Overlord Blade, however, was indifferent, looking down on Zhang Yue with a kingly demeanor, and said nonchalantly, “Go ahead, turn in the mission, and give me that SSS-grade reward. I can kill you only twice, then lie to Radiant Guild that I’ve killed you three times, erasing you permanently.”
“From now on, don’t show up in front of Radiant Guild, and you might keep your life.”
Overlord Blade’s words were filled with confidence and arrogance.
In his view, Zhang Yue’s life was already firmly in his grasp.
Unless Zhang Yue never set foot in the Otherworld again!
Otherwise, at any time, any place, he could easily kill Zhang Yue!
To show his resolve, Overlord Blade added, “By the way, do you think I didn’t know I was helping you complete the mission by killing the BOSS?”
“To tell you the truth, I did it on purpose.”
Hearing Overlord Blade’s words, Zhang Yue’s face showed no surprise.
He calmly said, “Then let me tell you the truth as well.”
“I did it on purpose too.”
“What do you mean?” Overlord Blade snorted, as if realizing something, and said, “Do you think you can use the mission reward to boost your strength and beat me?”
Zhang Yue, carrying the Death’s Eye, said lightly, “To deal with you, I don’t need to wait until after turning in the mission.”
Overlord Blade shook his head and sighed, “Since you want to die so badly, I don’t mind killing you once first and claiming the two million bounty.”
With that, Overlord Blade dragged his blade and charged at Zhang Yue with full confidence!
At the same time, a hint of killing intent flashed in Zhang Yue’s previously calm eyes…
Outside the Abyss Gate.
Lin Tian, Infinity Phantom, Tian Yu, and the others were all worried.
They speculated that Zhang Yue might be deliberately showing weakness to lure Overlord Blade into the Abyss Gate to help him deal with the Abyss Sovereign.
But they couldn’t rule out the possibility that Zhang Yue’s strength was indeed inferior to Overlord Blade’s!
“It was so hard to get the mission to this stage, just one step away from completion!”
“Yeah, if something goes wrong now and the mission fails, it would be a huge loss!”
“Hopefully, the Guild Leader can kill the Abyss Sovereign and take down that annoying Overlord Blade too!” Ouyang Ling’er and Ning Tiantian clasped their hands together, praying silently.
As everyone anxiously watched the Abyss Gate.
Suddenly, with a loud “boom,” as if struck by a powerful force, a figure flew out of the Abyss Gate, crashing hard on the ground several meters away!
Looking closely, they saw it was Overlord Blade!
At this moment, it seemed he had suffered severe injuries inside the Abyss Gate, with his health bar down to less than one-tenth!
Before Overlord Blade could get up.
The next second.
A figure flashed in front of Overlord Blade with lightning speed.
With one foot on Overlord Blade’s chest, Zhang Yue leaned down, gazing at him quietly, and said calmly:
“Radiant Guild spared no expense to craft the God of War set for you and offered a two million bounty for my head. Haven’t you figured it out yet?”
“Our strengths are not even in the same league.”
