Earlier, with the Forbidden Mage and Glimring Assassin controlling and assisting, Zhang Yue managed to take down the Undead Overlord.
But because Overlord Blade let the Undead Warriors through, Su Jingyan and Tian Xiner both perished.
Originally, Zhang Yue had been worried about how to deal with the Abyss Overlord next.
But now, it seed this Overlord Blade could completely take on this task and help him finish the mission.
Of course, as far as Overlord Blade was concerned, he wasn't foolish. He knew that killing the Abyss Overlord would essentially an helping Zhang Yue complete the mission.
However, his thoughts were different: he had already spent far too much energy and effort on this task.
After wasting over thirty years on it, he didn't want to keep struggling any longer.
His real goal was that SSS-grade reward.
If he killed the Abyss Overlord, let Zhang Yue complete the mission, and obtain the SSS-grade reward, then he could just kill Zhang Yue afterward and loot the reward from him—it was the sa outco.
After all, based on the previous clashes, Overlord Blade had already gauged the enormous power gap between himself and Zhang Yue.
To him, killing Zhang Yue would be as easy as flipping a hand.
So, Zhang Yue simply played along with Overlord Blade's intentions and continued to feign weakness.
The Abyss Overlord's attacks were dual-directional.
On one side, he attacked Overlord Blade, while simultaneously using the death ray from his single eye to target Zhang Yue.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Zhang Yue continuously dodged and evaded, each movent dangerously close, making him look incredibly battered.
This ford a stark contrast to Overlord Blade, who moved with ease.
Seeing Zhang Yue utterly unable to match the Abyss Overlord, Overlord Blade couldn't help but snort lightly, "I didn't expect you to be even weaker than I imagined."
"Twenty Million per head? Glory really overestimated you."
For now, Overlord Blade wasn't in a rush to deal with Zhang Yue, focusing all his attention on the Abyss Overlord.
But he still underestimated the Abyss Overlord's power.
Even with his 6-star War God set equipped, Overlord Blade alone was no match for the Abyss Overlord, Beru.
After several exchanges, Beru seed to have abandoned Zhang Yue, the "rookie," shifting his attention entirely to the more troubleso Overlord Blade.
Seizing an opening, Beru's two eyes unleashed death rays that blasted toward Overlord Blade.
Double the attack!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Overlord Blade couldn't resist and was continuously forced back, his HP bar above his head plumting.
At this mont, Zhang Yue conveniently cast Frozen World, freezing Beru in place and inadvertently saving Overlord Blade.
"This fool is really doing a favor."
Overlord Blade found Zhang Yue's "mistake" amusing, using the chance to recover before charging forward with his blade.
From then on, Overlord Blade focused on delivering damage while Zhang Yue played the role of a rookie assistant.
Occasionally, Zhang Yue would make a "small mistake" that conveniently helped Overlord Blade avoid danger.
In this way, under the reluctant teamwork of the two rivals, the Abyss Overlord beca the unfortunate victim.
After repeated attacks, Overlord Blade's damage output soared to over 30,000 , bringing the Abyss Overlord down to a sliver of health.
At this mont, Zhang Yue seized the opportunity to unleash Thunder Strike, finishing it off.
ROAR—
Accompanied by a deafening roar, the massive body of the Abyss Overlord, Beru, collapsed to the ground.
[Ding—Congratulations on killing the Level 45, 6-star BOSS [Abyss Overlord·Beru]. Rewards: EXP 1.2 million, Energy 45 million]
[Ding—Congratulations on completing the quest [The Phantom's Prophecy]]
At this mont, Zhang Yue felt a great weight lifted and casually said to Overlord Blade, "Thanks."
Overlord Blade, however, dismissed it with a scoff, looking down on Zhang Yue with the air of a king.
"Go, finish the quest and bring that SSS-grade reward. I'll only kill you twice and tell Glory I've killed you three tis to erase you permanently."
"Afterward, just don't show yourself to Glory again, and you might get to keep your life."
Overlord Blade's words were brimming with confidence and arrogance.
In his eyes, Zhang Yue's life was already firmly in his grasp.
Unless Zhang Yue never set foot in the otherworld again, at any ti and any place, Overlord Blade could kill him with ease.
To emphasize his dominance, Overlord Blade added, "Oh, and don't think I don't know. You thought I'd unknowingly kill the BOSS to help you finish the quest?"
"Let tell you the truth—I did it on purpose."
Hearing this, Zhang Yue's face showed no surprise.
He calmly replied, "Then let be honest as well."
"I did it on purpose too."
"What do you an?" Overlord Blade snorted, seeming to have realized sothing.
"You think you can defeat just by gaining so strength from this mission reward?"
Carrying the Eye of Death, Zhang Yue casually said, "Dealing with you doesn't require waiting until after the quest."
Overlord Blade shook his head and sighed, "Since you're so eager to die, I don't mind killing you once first and claiming the twenty million bounty."
With that, Overlord Blade dragged his warblade and charged at Zhang Yue with unstoppable confidence.
At the sa ti, Zhang Yue's once-calm eyes flashed with a cold killing intent...
———
Outside the Abyss Gate.
Lin Tian, Infinite Phantom, and Tian Yu's team were all deeply worried.
They speculated that Zhang Yue might be intentionally feigning weakness to lure Overlord Blade into the Abyss Gate to deal with the Abyss Overlord.
But Overlord Blade's power was well-known to them.
It wasn't impossible that Zhang Yue was genuinely weaker than Overlord Blade.
"We've worked so hard to reach this stage. There's just one step left to complete the mission."
"Yeah, if sothing goes wrong now and the mission fails, we'll suffer a huge loss."
"Hopefully, the guild leader can kill the Abyss Overlord and take down that annoying Overlord Blade." Ouyang Linger and Ning Tiantian clasped their hands in silent prayer.
While everyone anxiously watched the Abyss Gate...
Suddenly, with a loud boom, as if struck by so imnse force, a figure was blasted out of the Abyss Gate, crashing dozens of ters away.
Looking closely, they realized it was Martial Saint·Overlord Blade.
Moreover, it seed he had suffered severe damage inside the Abyss Gate—his HP bar was reduced to less than 10%.
Before Overlord Blade could rise, in the next mont...
WHOOSH!
A figure flashed before him at lightning speed.
Zhang Yue stepped on Overlord Blade's chest, bent down, and gazed at him coldly.
"The Glory Guild spared no expense to forge your War God set and placed a twenty-million bounty on my head. Don't you get it yet?"
"We are not the sa." [T/N: 🥶]
