"A one-shot soul kill?'
Watching Inoue Takehiko's body gradually dissolve into starlight after being slain by him, Zhang Yue was a bit surprised.
"Pretty lucky."
And at the very instant he killed Inoue Takehiko, the passive pursuit effect of [Ghost Eye] triggered. Using Inoue Takehiko as the center, bolts of lightning exploded out all around, instantly swallowing all the surrounding Eastern professionals.
Facing colossal damage exceeding 5 billion+, even though this group were all level 230 fifth-turn professionals, they could not withstand it.
Pierced through by the lightning, they were killed on the spot.
So in an instant, once again countless white beams of light, mixed with starlight, shot toward the heavens.
Sensing something was wrong, the Eastern professionals further out tried to run.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed like lightning into the crowd.
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
Wherever it passed, white light burst one after another.
In sight, the Shadow Dancer Chen Zijin, like a fiend from hell, swept through the crowd wreathed in black shadows.
Lifting her head, she scared several Eastern warriors and knights in front of her so much that they staggered backward, falling to the ground on their butts.
Chen Zijin gave a wicked smile, and said, "What I'm doing also only represents my personal will, unrelated to Dragon Country."
Finished speaking, she once again transformed into lightning, piercing through the crowd.
Faced with the slaughter of the Necromancer and Shadow Dancer, two myth-tier professionals, the Eastern professionals had no ability to resist.
In moments, thousands were completely slaughtered.
At that moment, the entire scene fell silent.
Outside, the professionals of the various great nations all looked at each other, as if afraid that in the next second, Zhang Yue would turn on them too, just as he had against Eastern, and wipe them out completely.
Yet, Zhang Yue had no intention of attacking them.
He merely wiped out Eastern, then turned back to Chen Zijin and said a single line, "Let's go, Chen Zijin, into the dungeon."
"Mn, coming!"
Chen Zijin casually scooped up a handful of gold coins from the pile dropped by the Eastern professionals, then quickly followed Zhang Yue into the light screen leading into the Imperial Tomb dungeon.
Until the two stepped into the dungeon and vanished from sight, the shock in the hearts of those present could not calm for a long time.
["Holy shit, too ruthless! Wiped them all out, not a single one left!"]
["Who told Eastern to always stir trouble with Dragon Country? In recent decades, they repeatedly sent assassins to sneak into Dragon Country, or directly fostered dark forces inside Dragon Country. Who knows how many Dragon Country powerhouses fell to Eastern's poison hands? How could this debt just be let go?"]
["I heard that too, Eastern even tried to cover up history, refusing to admit it. I even found out, Shadow Dancer herself was once assassinated by Eastern killers, later revived by Zero."]
["I think Zero did the right thing! If a few flattering words from Eastern could make him throw away the threats and injuries they once inflicted on his country, how guilty would that be toward his own nation?"]
["Zero God did beautifully! Eastern deserves death!"]
Not only had Eastern's squads been annihilated before the whole world but afterward, there was no global outcry condemning Dragon Country. Instead, on the internet, many praised Zhang Yue's actions as brilliant.
———
Inside Eastern's high-level offices, Inoue Amano was instantly furious.
"BASTARD!"
Meanwhile, the other ministers all felt their hearts sink into despair.
"It's over. Looks like Dragon Country has no intention of leaving us any path to survival. Out of all these countries, they singled out only us Eastern."
"Could it really be that what we once did to Dragon Country was too excessive?"
"To think a top-three power of the world would have so little tolerance, not a shred of a strong nation's bearing!"
"If this continues, once the Necromancer and Shadow Dancer fully grow, Dragon Country will inevitably launch a full-scale assault on us Eastern. By then, it may well be the end of our nation…"
A fierce killing intent flashed in Inoue Amano's eyes, "We must eliminate them before they grow, no matter the cost!"
———
Meanwhile, on the other side—
Zhang Yue and Chen Zijin passed through the light screen, arriving at the other side, which was a vast, boundless dark graveyard.
All around, the ground was littered with pale white bones.
Eerie ghostly wails and howls echoed endlessly across the graveyard.
Chen Zijin stood in the middle of the graveyard.
The surroundings didn't make her feel fear at all.
But seeing Zhang Yue by her side, she suddenly seemed to think of something.
She stewed on it a bit.
The next second, she suddenly let out a sharp scream, "AHHH! What's that sound, so scary!"
Immediately, she put on a terrified look, clutching Zhang Yue's arm, gazing up at him pitifully, and said, "Zhang Yue, those bones on the ground are so creepy, I'm scared…"
Zhang Yue gave Chen Zijin a glance and immediately saw through her ploy.
But he didn't expose her.
He just went along and said, "It's fine. I'm here."
Chen Zijin instantly clung to Zhang Yue's arm like a little woman, smiling as she said, "Zhang Yue, you're so good!"
Just then, he suddenly sensed disturbance behind her.
With his sharp perception, Zhang Yue caught sight from the corner of his eye of a skeleton breaking out of the ground behind Chen Zijin.
He called softly to her, "Careful, behind you!"
Crash!
Suddenly, a skeleton warrior clutching a greatsword burst out of the earth, lunging fiercely at Zhang Yue and Chen Zijin.
Chen Zijin's reflexes were stunning.
Even before Zhang Yue could react, she had already whipped out her dagger, delivering a dazzling draw-cut slash.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
A set of lightning-fast combos instantly hacked the skeleton warrior into a pile of bones.
The next moment, she even stomped down hard on the bone pile, fuming, "To think you'd try to ambush me, what were you thinking? Beat you to death!"
"Die! Die!"
Saying so, Chen Zijin gave the pile several more savage stomps.
Finally, she vented her anger.
After a moment, Chen Zijin seemed to suddenly realize something.
Turning back, she found Zhang Yue staring at her with an expression of speechless disbelief.
Chen Zijin froze a little.
In an instant, she reverted to the posture of a delicate girl.
She ran to hide behind Zhang Yue, peeking her head out to look at the pile of bones, her face filled with terror, "Those skeletons are so scary… I was almost ambushed just now!"
"So terrifying!"
Zhang Yue glanced at the skeleton warrior that had been stomped into shards, then looked back at Chen Zijin.
After a pause, he sighed, "I think… compared to you, it's probably more scared."
