Whoosh!
A flash of white light, and Killer Second vanished, leaving behind a pair of black greaves and dozens of silver coins scattered on the ground.
Killer Third, on the other side, was stunned.
What kind of damage was that?
He actually one-shot a fully armed Level 25 Warrior!
“You bastard!”
Killer Third roared in fury, brandishing his longsword as he charged at Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue quickly launched his attack!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With incredible speed, his basic attacks combined with Flame Missiles landed precisely on the moving Killer Third.
-313!
-234! -598 Crit! -598 Crit!
Killer Third was instantly crippled.
Zhang Yue leaped to avoid Killer Third’s charge, then countered with a basic attack, dealing 732 points of crit damage, wiping out the remaining third of Killer Third’s health bar!
Thud!
Killer Third fell to his knees, eyes wide with disbelief.
The next second, his body turned into white light and floated away.
At the same time, a cold wind swept from behind.
The opponent was too fast; Zhang Yue had no time to dodge.
Slash!
A sharp dagger cut across Zhang Yue’s shoulder, leaving a deep gash.
“Ding~ You have been attacked by the skill [Shadow Strike] from the Professional [Killer Not So Cold], losing 1425 Health Points!”
Zhang Yue’s health bar plummeted!
Fortunately, with the protection of the two-star golden attribute armors [Magic·Scholar’s Wrath] and [Magic·Berserk Coat], Zhang Yue’s health limit of over 1700 prevented him from being one-shot killed!
But to Killer Not So Cold, it was surprising: “A newly advanced Level 20 Professional can actually survive my strike?”
“Interesting, but this is the end!”
Killer Not So Cold’s eyes narrowed as he lunged at Zhang Yue with his dagger!
As a Level 30 Assassin focusing on Agility, his agility points far exceeded Zhang Yue’s, making him much faster!
With Blink still on cooldown, Zhang Yue couldn’t dodge the attack.
He could only summon the Silver Armored Scorpion.
Whoosh!
The Silver Armored Scorpion appeared in front of Zhang Yue, blocking Killer Not So Cold’s attack.
A crit damage of 1366 points instantly emptied the Silver Armored Scorpion’s health bar, which was only 1045 points.
Zhang Yue realized: The opponent was not only 10 levels higher but also fully equipped with Level 25+ three-star quality, golden attribute gear!
Their strengths were on completely different levels!
“Die!”
Killer Not So Cold leaped, dagger aimed straight at Zhang Yue.
At that moment.
Whoosh!
A silver beam of light descended from the sky, hitting Killer Not So Cold.
-175! Immobilized!
Killer Not So Cold was paralyzed, unable to move.
Taking advantage of this, Zhang Yue, whose skills had just come off cooldown, quickly swung his staff to launch a combo.
Fireball!
Ice Spike!
Lightning Spell!
-756!
-1348 Crit!
-816!
As an Assassin, Killer Not So Cold had significantly lower defense and health compared to the previous two Level 25 Warriors.
Zhang Yue’s combo, dealing over 2900 burst damage, instantly emptied Killer Not So Cold’s health bar.
Falling before Zhang Yue, Killer Not So Cold’s eyes were filled with unwillingness: “This… impossible!”
Even in death, Killer Not So Cold couldn’t believe that a Level 30 fully golden-geared Assassin could die at the hands of a mere Level 20 Beast Tamer!
Until Killer Not So Cold’s body turned into white light and floated away.
Zhang Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned to Su Jinyan, who was not far away, and said, “Thanks.”
Fortunately, after killing the Second World boss, Su Jinyan had just leveled up to 20, so there was no [Newbie Protection] between her and Killer Not So Cold.
It was thanks to Su Jinyan’s timely immobilization control that Zhang Yue wasn’t the one dead now!
Su Jinyan approached Zhang Yue, her face full of concern: “Didn’t you see my Feixin message? These people must have been sent by Chen Jun to target you!”
Just as she finished speaking, Liu Yao said guiltily, “It’s my fault! Zhang Yue was saving me…”
At this moment, Zhang Yue bent down to pick up a purple crystal ring dropped by Killer Not So Cold.
As expected, it was the golden attribute [Slaughter·Savage Ring], and it was a Level 28 three-star quality!
As for the black greaves and [Glory Armor] dropped by Killer Second and Killer Third, although they were also three-star quality, their attributes were only orange.
At this moment, Liu Yao’s assistant, Supreme Carefree, adjusted his silver-framed glasses and analyzed, “If they really are from the Killer Mercenary Group, then I have an idea.”
“The Killer Mercenary Group is a small assassin guild founded ten years ago, with only about fifty members, none of whom are above Level 30!”
“They’ve been in the Otherworld for ten years and are still only Level 30? How do they control their levels?” Liu Yao asked incredulously.
Su Jinyan pondered, “Reaching Level 30 meets the requirement for a second profession change. As long as they don’t change professions, they can never surpass Level 30!”
“Exactly,” Supreme Carefree said. “They are notorious bandits, lurking in the Third World, living off robbing newly arrived low-level Professionals.”
“Because they’ve been in the Third World for so long, their equipment has been refined to golden attributes through accumulated Psionic Energy, making them very strong. Every year, most Professionals arriving in Coastal City in the Third World fall victim to their robberies.”
At this moment, a message from Killer Not So Cold appeared in the regional chat:
[Killer Not So Cold] (Level 29 Elite Grade Savage Assassin): “I’m warning you, return my ring immediately, or I’ll hunt you down!”
[Zero] (Info Hidden): “Thanks for the top-tier gear, gonna sell it at the marketplace tomorrow for a car [Slaughter·Savage Ring] (Illustration)”
[Killer Not So Cold]: “I’ll kill you! If you dare sell it, you’ll never survive in the Otherworld again!”
Supreme Carefree said, “In the Third World, when a Professional dies, they have to stay in a grave for ten minutes before they can revive. Let’s head back quickly before they bring more people.”
Having just escaped death, Liu Yao didn’t dare waste a second and sprinted towards the Safe Zone.
Zhang Yue and Su Jinyan also returned to the graveyard and logged off.
Meanwhile.
In a dark grave, waiting ten minutes to revive, Killer Not So Cold was shaking with rage.
He opened Feixin and sent a message to someone marked “Killer Peppa”: “Boss, I got killed by the guy Chen Jun asked us to kill!”
Killer Peppa: “Are you kidding me? Isn’t he a newly advanced Professional this year?”
Killer Not So Cold replied: “I don’t know what happened, his damage was insane! He one-shot me, Killer Second, and Killer Third!”
“Boss, that bastard took my ring! I must kill him and get it back! That ring took me four months of grinding Psionic Energy to refine to golden!”
After a while.
Killer Peppa replied: “I understand.”
“I’ll handle this personally.”
