The rcenary Pei Qi arrived at the City of Death with over thirty elite mbers from the assassin guild, joining forces with Chen Jun and his group.
At this point, Chen Jun pointed toward the depths of the City of Death, his impatience barely concealed as he said to Pei Qi, "Zhang Yue is in there! Go in and kill him for ! Leave the boss to when he's nearly down, and don't touch the woman inside!"
Pei Qi, a dark-skinned middle-aged warrior in full golden armor and a towering presence, calmly asked Chen Jun, "If I help you kill Zhang Yue and take down the boss, will you release my daughter?"
"Yes, yes!" Chen Jun replied hastily, growing agitated.
Pei Qi narrowed his eyes, his voice cold. "If you dare lie to , I'll sever both your arms, chop off your legs, and rip out your heart to feed to the dogs."
Instinctively, Chen Jun touched his groin, feeling a chill down his spine.
With that threat hanging in the air, Pei Qi prepared to lead his n into the City of Death.
But just then, another large group of professionals ca charging from behind.
Chen Jun turned and sneered when he recognized them as mbers of the Supre Guild. "Heh, looks like the pack of mad dogs that were locked up for a few days have been released."
Without the ability to revive, Liu Yao didn't dare step onto the battlefield himself. Instead, he hid away while letting Li Xiaoyao lead 200 Supre Guild mbers into battle.
Li Xiaoyao, a mage, raised his staff and pointed forward, shouting, "Orders from the guild leader—protect Zhang Yue! Fight the assassin rcenaries and Yan Yu Pavilion! Anyone who dies gets compensated 30,000!"
"Charge!"
In an instant, the professionals of Supre Guild charged like madn toward the enemy!
Money is a powerful motivator.
Moreover, they had been trapped in the safe zone by the assassin rcenaries for two whole days. Now, they could finally unleash all that pent-up frustration!
As the horde of Supre Guild professionals surged forward like a tidal wave, Chen Jun began to panic. "Kill them! Don't let them get through!"
Pei Qi quickly ordered half of his forces to assist Yan Yu Pavilion in holding off Supre Guild.
He then took the remaining dozen n and stord deeper into the City of Death.
However, before they could advance, a large contingent of Supre Guild professionals flanked them from both sides, forming a defensive line to block Pei Qi and his group's path.
Pei Qi's eyes glowed with killing intent. "Block ? You're asking for death!"
Shing!
With a flash of his sword, Pei Qi commanded coldly, "Kill!"
The dozen or so level-30 professionals from the assassin rcenary group charged toward Supre Guild.
Though Supre Guild mbers had been leveling up in the Second World while stuck in the safe zone, reaching level 20, they were still no match for the level-30 professionals of the assassin rcenaries.
In front of these fully-geared level-30 professionals, the mbers of Supre Guild were like fragile tofu blocks, cut down effortlessly with no chance to retaliate!
Screams filled the air as flashes of white light continuously lit up the battlefield, marking their deaths.
Yet, even in the face of overwhelming odds, the Supre Guild mbers refused to retreat. They were determined to form a human wall, sacrificing themselves to stop the assassin rcenaries' advance.
anwhile, deeper within the City of Death.
Zhang Yue and Su Jinyan had tead up, and the Golden Skeleton King's health had dropped to a re 5%.
At this mont, they also noticed the fierce battle behind them—Supre Guild mbers sacrificing themselves to hold back the assassin rcenaries.
"They won't hold out much longer," Su Jinyan glanced at the boss and then turned to Zhang Yue. "I'll go help them! Can you handle the boss on your own?"
"I can," Zhang Yue replied. "Be careful."
"Don't worry!"
With that, Su Jinyan cast a control spell on the Skeleton King, then withdrew from the fight and headed back to assist her allies.
The professionals of Supre Guild were clearly on the verge of being overwheld by the assassin rcenaries, and their defensive line was close to collapsing.
But just then—
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three spells descended from the sky, landing on three different assassin rcenaries, immobilizing them!
Seizing the opportunity, Supre Guild launched a fierce counterattack, pushing the enemy back!
Pei Qi, seeing the spells, spotted Su Jinyan in the distance, casting more magic.
Rembering Chen Jun's warning not to harm the woman, Pei Qi called out, "Stand aside!"
Su Jinyan, her gaze unwavering, glared at Pei Qi. "If you want to get through, you'll have to go through first!"
"You want to die? I'll grant you that wish!"
With a swift motion, Pei Qi activated his skill Sweeping Strike, cutting down three Supre Guild knights before charging straight for Su Jinyan.
Standing her ground, Su Jinyan chanted a spell.
Fireball!
Boom!
Predicting Pei Qi's movents, the fireball landed perfectly, immobilizing him.
Pei Qi, unable to move, was stunned. "This girl who looks so fragile... she can predict my movents? I underestimated her."
Su Jinyan clenched her staff tightly. Just as Pei Qi broke free from the immobilization, she cast another control spell, locking him in place once more.
Using every skill in her arsenal, Su Jinyan kept Pei Qi immobilized for a total of seven seconds.
Though Pei Qi still had about 70% of his health remaining, he finally broke free from the last control spell and looked coldly at Su Jinyan. "Your control is strong, but it's useless."
Su Jinyan smiled calmly. "Holding you off for seven seconds is enough."
The mont she finished speaking—
A thunderous roar echoed from behind them as the Skeleton King let out its final, deafening bellow!
The Skeleton King had been slain by Zhang Yue!
From his hiding spot in a quiet corner of the City of Death, Liu Yao could hardly contain his excitent. "Yes! My big brother is rising to power! The tiger is about to roar!"
At that mont, Pei Qi quickly activated Charge, rushing toward Zhang Yue's position.
But Su Jinyan wasn't done. With a fireball that had only a 3-second cooldown, she immobilized Pei Qi once more!
Breaking free from the control yet again, Pei Qi, now thoroughly enraged by Su Jinyan's constant interference, lost his patience.
Shunk!
With a single Piercing Thrust, his sword impaled Su Jinyan's body.
The attack dealt a whopping 1,290 points of damage, instantly draining Su Jinyan's health bar.
With a muffled groan, blood poured from the wound, dripping from the tip of Pei Qi's crimson-stained sword.
Su Jinyan's face contorted in pain.
The next second, her body dissolved into a flash of white light and disappeared.
anwhile, back at Zhang Yue's side, as the Skeleton King collapsed—
A flurry of notifications appeared before him:
Ding~ Congratulations! You have slain the level-28, 3-star boss: Golden Skeleton King! Reward: 42,000 experience points (55% performance bonus, 20% last-hit bonus), 28 million energy!
Ding~ Congratulations! You have completed the hidden quest: [Hunt the Skeleton King]!
And then, another notification suddenly caused Zhang Yue's heart to skip a beat—
Ding~ Congratulations! During the battle against the Golden Skeleton King, you triggered your Necromancer class ability: Reaper of the Undead. Would you like to harvest the boss [Golden Skeleton King] as a pet?
