"Alright!"
Watching the fireworks burst overhead, the fifty or so people outside couldn't help but applaud.
Two lives meant nothing to them.
Right now, their hearts were filled only with endless greed!
"Let's go check it out."
Brother Knife led the way, eager to inspect the spoils.
But a faint stir within the rubble suddenly halted everyone in their tracks.
Boom! Rocks exploded outward.
A youth emerged slowly from the ruins, cradling a girl.
His clothes were spotless, not a scratch on him!
"Impossible... impossible!"
The encircling crowd instinctively stepped back, every hair on their necks standing on end.
Overwhelming terror gripped them like an invisible black hand, slowly squeezing each heart.
"How could anyone possibly block the Fire Dragon Scroll at this stage!"
"He... what kind of monster is he..."
As a seasoned gamer, Knife Brother had led teams to battle across realms. Now that the game had merged with reality, he'd immediately rallied his squad to level up.
All for the sake of achieving something truly great!
Yet at this very moment, his grand ambitions were being crushed step by step!
The youth before him was terrifying...
So terrifying it made his legs tremble, nearly knocking him off his feet.
The three hiding outside were also stunned, especially upon seeing Qin Yu being held, completely unharmed. Their hearts were already churning with shock.
"Who is that man?!"
"I don't recognize him... How could Xiao Yu have such a powerful friend?"
"But he's alone. What good is coming out? Can he really take on dozens of us?"
"I have a feeling... this man... is beyond our comprehension."
......
Chen Nian gently set Qin Yu down on the ground.
His indifferent gaze swept over the crowd.
"He's alone! So what if he comes out?! Kill him!"
Xu Meng was utterly panicked. He'd suspected the kid was strong, but never imagined he'd be this formidable.
"Right, you're right! Don't be afraid, we outnumber him!"
Though some tried to rally courage, no one dared truly step forward.
"If you won't move, I will."
A violent wind swirled around Chen Nian, countless fragments of rock whirling and dancing at his sides. Darkness spread rapidly from his feet outward, like ink splashed across a canvas...
Spell—Death God.
The terrifying, high-risk Sequence 127 Spell.
The moment it activated, it brutally robbed everyone of their sight, plunging the area into a pitch-black abyss where one couldn't see their own hand in front of their face!
"What's happening! I can't see a thing!"
People shouted in confusion, their complete loss of direction filling them with fear, panic, and helplessness...
At that very moment, a spectral figure of Death materialized behind Chen Nian. Its skeletal right hand wielded a massive scythe, while its left held the Book of Life and Death, radiating an oppressive aura that felt suffocating.
[You have entered the "Death Possession" state. Attack Power +300%]
30 seconds, Death God Possession.
Chen Nian's attack bonus soared to 390!
Even without activating Death God Possession, his base stats alone could crush this crowd.
Now with his attack power skyrocketing, no one could withstand his blows.
A wolf among sheep!
The shadowy figure of the Death God behind Chen Nian claimed a life with every swing of its blade!
These men were like fish on a cutting board, helplessly awaiting slaughter.
Chen Nian's figure darted through the crowd at blinding speed.
Wherever he passed, no one survived.
[Death Scythe Attack Power +10]
[Death Scythe Attack Power +10]
With each kill, the Death Scythe's attack power permanently stacks.
The later it got, the more terrifying it became!
...…
Qin Yu's three friends were nearly scared out of their wits!
Their eyes couldn't pierce the darkness to see what was happening inside—all they could hear were wave after wave of agonized screams!
"What... what's going on in there..."
The group trembled uncontrollably with fear.
But it didn't last long.
Thirty seconds passed swiftly. The pitch-black domain receded like a tide, and the scene gradually came into focus.
Limb-less bodies lay scattered, blood staining the ground everywhere!
Except for that terrifying youth, not a single soul survived. They were all dead.
A thick, pungent stench of blood filled the air. The youth stepped elegantly over the haphazardly strewn corpses, as if strolling through his own backyard.
"Death God" would also forcibly strip Chen Nian of all emotion, turning him into a true killing machine, devoid of any mercy!
A truly high-risk word spirit.
Chen Nian's emotions had returned, but he only felt disgust. Not a shred of guilt or reluctance remained.
"Next time I use 'Death God,' the attack power bonus will become 300% + 500."
Chen Nian was satisfied. The more he grew, the stronger he became.
The ground before him was littered with dropped gear and items.
Another massive haul!
He began stowing each piece into his backpack.
...…
"I remember! I remember!"
The bespectacled, overweight man plopped down onto the ground, his lips trembling violently.
His breathing grew increasingly ragged.
"I've seen this ability before!"
"He... he is... he is..."
The other two were frantic: "Just say it! What is he?"
"Silent... He's Silent! I've seen this ability before—only he can wield it in the entire world!"
"During the national war, he charged into enemy ranks using this ability and slaughtered over a thousand in under a minute! He utterly terrified the opposing side!"
Hearing this, the other two froze in place, unable to process it.
The next moment, they immediately covered their mouths to stifle their gasps!
"He... He's the world's strongest player... BuYu?"
"Who else could it be? Who else could be this powerful? Slaughtering dozens single-handedly—could you do that?"
"He can inherit talents from the game. It's only a matter of time before he becomes the world's strongest again."
"Never imagined we'd get this lucky... This is amazing, absolutely amazing! I never imagined I'd see him in this lifetime!"
Heaven knows how excited they were.
If we could befriend No Speech, who would dare mess with us then? This is the ultimate big shot to latch onto!......
Notifications kept popping up before Chen Nian's eyes.
[Acquired Common Equipment: "Bronze Helmet"]
[Acquired Fine Equipment: "Lingxi Earrings"]
[Acquired Skill Scroll "Fireball" ]
[Acquired Skill Scroll "Crescent Slash" ]
[Acquired Material "Grey Wolf Hide" ]
All random drops from these guys' deaths—what a windfall!
Selling it all on the trading market later would be pure bliss!
But first, he needed to wrap things up here. A few eyes had been watching for ages.
" You may come out now."
Chen Nian said indifferently, "You have one minute. Don't make me come looking for you."
Hearing this, the three of them trembled violently!
They scrambled out of their hiding spot, stumbling and crawling, one of them nearly falling flat on his face.
Seeing "Silent" in person, they were utterly shocked. They never imagined the world's strongest player would be such a delicate-looking youth...
"B-Brother, sorry, we-we didn't mean to peek!"
"Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against us!"
Their voices trembled as they spoke!
Chen Nian knew these three were Qin Yu's friends and didn't intend to make things difficult for them, but a proper warning was necessary.
"What you saw earlier—keep it confidential."
"We'll keep it secret, we swear! We didn't see a thing! Big Brother, you can rest easy!"
The men desperately pledged their loyalty, nearly swearing on their lives.
Even if they had ten thousand times the courage, they shouldn't have lied to Chen Nian—unless they wanted to die.
Chen Nian nodded with a smile.
"Gather all of them together for me."
"Yes, sir!"
The three men fought back nausea as they hauled the bodies into one pile.
Chen Xian unleashed his word magic, "Flame Burst," incinerating them all at once.
Just as the cleanup neared completion, two coughs echoed from behind—Qin Yu had been roused by the thick smoke!
