Tianjing, Radiant Guild Headquarters.
Chairman’s Office.
Ling Ao answered the phone.
“How’s it going, Zero? Is it resolved?”
Soon, the voice of Overlord Blade came from the other end: “Chairman Ling, please give me a little more time.”
“What do you mean?” Ling Ao questioned. “Don’t tell me you haven’t encountered Zero yet?”
Before Overlord Blade could respond, Ling Ao shouted sternly, “I’ll give you two days. Within two days, you must bring me Zero’s head, or everything I’ve given you, I’ll take back!”
“Including that old fellow!”
With that, Ling Ao hung up the phone.
Immediately, he called the old butler at the villa: “Old Li, how’s Ke’er?”
“Compared to the past two days, she’s slightly better. She even ate some of the food we sent in.”
Hearing this about his precious daughter, Ling Ao’s heart ached. “It seems the only way to cure Ke’er’s heartache is to kill Zero!”
At this moment, the old butler said, “Don’t worry, Master. With the strength of Beiming Martial Saint Overlord Blade, plus the God of War set you custom-made for him, dealing with Zero will be a piece of cake!”
Thinking of his precious daughter Ling Ke’er locking herself in her room without eating or drinking for the past two days because of Zhang Yue’s mistake, Ling Ao clenched his fist in anger. “If Overlord Blade can’t kill Zero within two days, then chop up that old fellow!”
On the other end, the old butler advised, “Master, please reconsider… If you kill his master, Overlord Blade, who is naturally fierce, will surely seek revenge on our Radiant Guild’s new professionals. The situation will be hard to control then!”
Ling Ao slammed his fist on the desk and shouted, “If he can’t kill Zero, he will die to atone! This is what Overlord Blade promised me!”
“Tell Overlord Blade, only one can live between his master and Zero!”
Meanwhile, in a small motel in Coastal City.
In a simple single room, Overlord Blade, with a scarred face and a fierce look, had just finished receiving Ling Ao’s threatening call when he got a text from the Ling family’s old butler, Li En: “The master said, only one can live between your master and Zero. What you do next, is up to you.”
Overlord Blade smashed the glass window in front of him with a punch, startling passersby on the street below.
“Zero, I will kill you!”
With that, Overlord Blade lightly touched the mark on the back of his left hand, activated the portal, and entered the Otherworld.
On the other side.
After completing the [Pharaoh’s Prophecy] quest, it was just noon.
Feeling hungry, Zhang Yue logged off, planning to eat before tackling the world boss.
Offline.
Wu Haotian was eating spicy hotpot takeout and took a photo to post in the guild chat: “Guild Leader, we’re risking our lives to help you with quests, and you treat us to this?”
Ouyang Ling’er: “Eat it or leave it. If you don’t want it, send it to me in the south of the city!”
Zhang Yue: “Time is limited. Let’s just eat something simple for lunch. I’ll treat you tonight.”
Wu Haotian: “Goodness, you should’ve said so earlier! I’m not eating anymore, saving my stomach for the feast tonight!”
Wu Haotian: “By the way, what’s for dinner tonight?”
Zhang Yue: “I’ll treat you to hotpot at the restaurant.”
Wu Haotian: “…”
At this moment, Zhang Yue sent a Feixin message to Su Jinyan: “Are you free tonight? Let’s have dinner together, my treat.”
“By the way, Tian Xin’er is with you, right? Bring her along too.”
After all, this quest was largely thanks to Su Jinyan and Tian Xin’er. They were the heroes!
Near the Xingxiu Hotel in Coastal City, at a nearby restaurant.
Receiving Zhang Yue’s invitation for dinner, Su Jinyan, who was eating with Tian Xin’er, couldn’t help but feel delighted.
“Xin Xin, Zhang Yue invited us to dinner!”
Tian Xin’er looked up at Su Jinyan: “Did he message you?”
Su Jinyan nodded: “Yes, let’s go. It’s rare to get a free meal from him! I’ll reply to him.”
Watching Su Jinyan reply to the message, Tian Xin’er looked down at her own phone. Seeing no message from Zhang Yue, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
At this moment, Tian Xin’er suddenly asked, “Su Su, if my life were in danger, would you sacrifice your life to save me?”
Su Jinyan, focused on replying to Zhang Yue, didn’t hear Tian Xin’er’s question clearly.
She looked up at Tian Xin’er and asked, “Xin Xin, what did you just say?”
Tian Xin’er shook her head and smiled, “Nothing, the food’s getting cold. Let’s eat while it’s hot.”
“Yeah, you too!”
Su Jinyan looked down at her phone, while Tian Xin’er stared at Su Jinyan, recalling a scene from this morning in the Undead Gate that she couldn’t forget…
When the Undead Sovereign, Heard, was on the brink of death, a large number of undead warriors swarmed into the Undead Gate.
To protect Zhang Yue, Su Jinyan used her body to block a fatal attack from an undead warrior, sacrificing her life to save Zhang Yue!
Shortly after, Tian Xin’er also perished under the siege of the undead warriors.
Though nothing was said, it seemed that Tian Xin’er suddenly understood something…
After eating, Zhang Yue logged into the Otherworld.
He started the world boss challenge.
“Ding~ You have entered the Sixth World boss challenge area. Please kill the Death Sovereign, Kigora!”
With the system notification, Zhang Yue appeared in a vast domain.
Rumble…
Amidst low growls, a creature draped in a black robe, exuding an aura of death, like a demon crawling out of hell, appeared in his sight.
Sixth World Boss: Death Sovereign, Kigora!
As one of the three sovereigns, the Death Sovereign was the weakest, bar none.
As the youngest brother, unlike his two brothers enjoying the benefits of the Void Forbidden Zone, he couldn’t gain the domain enhancement of the Void Forbidden Zone. Though labeled as a 6-star, his strength had already surpassed the 7-star boss level!
Kigora’s strength was genuinely at the 6-star level, and he had been frozen silly by the Frost Mage King, Norn, losing his control, acting like a fool.
3500 attack, 2000 defense, 700,000 HP.
“Foolish human, daring to intrude on my domain, you truly don’t know…”
Boom!
Before Death Sovereign Kigora could finish his line, Zhang Yue had already launched his attack.
SSS-grade unique skill [Heavenless · Godslayer Curse] summoned a dark red death ray, hitting Kigora directly.
-!
“Is this the power of an SSS-grade unique skill?” Zhang Yue felt a bit excited seeing the terrifying damage.
At this moment, a combat notification sounded in his ear: “Ding~ [Heavenless · Godslayer Curse] failed to kill the target. The next damage dealt by this skill to [Death Sovereign, Kigora] will be increased by 30%!”
Assaulted, Kigora stopped mid-sentence, grabbed his skeleton staff, and began counterattacking Zhang Yue!
Boom, boom, boom!
Zhang Yue used Teleportation to dodge Kigora’s attacks, countering with a combo of S-rank skills: Heavenly Fire, Ice and Snow, and Thunder, dealing three consecutive hits of around 15,000 damage each!
Compared to the unique SSS-grade skill, these ordinary S-rank skills were much weaker!
The most terrifying part was: [Heavenless · Godslayer Curse] had only a 9-second cooldown!
After waiting for the skill cooldown, Zhang Yue launched the Godslayer Curse again.
With a 30% damage increase from the last hit, this time the Godslayer Curse dealt damage to Kigora.
-!
-!
-…
In less than a minute, the battle was over.
[System Announcement] (Sixth World): “Ding~ Congratulations to the professional [Zero] for killing the world boss [Death Sovereign, Kigora], clearing the Sixth World [Land of the Dead]!”
