This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

Chapter 268 Jiang Liu: Forget about talking, let's get to work.

After half an hour.

Jiang Liu stood on the rooftop of a building, looked around at the hundreds and thousands of players, and fell into deep thought.

When was I exposed?
In this remote place, only half an hour had passed from a desolate wasteland to the arrival of thousands of players.

In other words, I was exposed as soon as I arrived here?

A figure immediately flashed into his mind.

Damn it, why don't I just trample your tombstone to pieces?
Jiang Liu was furious, thinking that his bad luck had struck again.

I had just completed the great transfer when I encountered a player, which immediately exposed my whereabouts.

In just half an hour, he was surrounded by thousands of players. If it dragged on any longer, wouldn't he have to wipe out all the players on the server?

He wasn't worried about being surrounded by this group of mid-level players; what worried him was that he had attracted the top five players on the overall power ranking!

Especially the first one, he was the player he least wanted to encounter in a direct confrontation.

This is true, at least for a short period of time.

The second airdrop has arrived. Will that crazy woman try to grab the second airdrop, or will she try to steal my job offer?

Regardless of what choice the other party makes, he must be prepared for the worst and cannot entrust his safety to others.

What is the worst-case scenario?
The top player in the entire server wants this first employment letter, and the top player in the entire server is on their way!
This is the worst-case scenario!
If the top player in the entire server comes, he must leave this place as soon as possible and disappear again until the other party gives up.

Then the problem is coming.

How can I escape from this group of players?

After the coordinates of the employment letter were revealed, players in the vicinity were overjoyed and flocked to the coordinates without hesitation.

For no other reason than the ultimate reward in this battle!
In a single competition, only ten job offers will be offered, meaning there will only be ten winners.

Out of hundreds of millions of players across the entire server, only ten will emerge victorious!

Such a low probability!

But if there are ten people, why can't I be one of them?

Although the probability is low, it's not impossible.

Players who dare to snatch the employment contract are extremely confident in their abilities; in other words, they have no self-awareness.

They don't have the capability to compete with so many big shots for airdrops.

But they were confident they could snatch the employment contract from an unknown person.

As for whether to keep it, sell it, or hand it over to the sect leader after seizing it, that's not something to consider now.

The question now is how to snatch the job offer from so many competitors!

This might be my only chance in this lifetime, and I must seize it!

Amen.

Thousands of players surrounded Jiang Liu, their eyes burning with the intensity of their gazes as if they were looking at an unparalleled beauty.

At the same time, they also had some minor doubts.

Who is this young player who is as handsome as Pan An and even more dashing than Daniel Wu?
How did he manage to snatch his first job offer from so many big shots?
The players surrounding Jiang Liu couldn't help but show expressions of extreme confusion when they saw that Jiang Liu was only at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core realm.

Someone who has only reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage is not worthy of receiving an employment contract?
Why should he!
Just then, a cry of surprise rang out; someone had recognized Jiang Liu.

"It's him! It's Jiang Liu from District Four!"

"Jiang Liu? He's the only player in the new server to make it into the top 100 of the overall rankings?"

"I think I've heard of him. He killed the Giant Spirit God, who was ranked twenty-first on the overall list. Is that true?"

"It's true, I saw it with my own eyes. He had a fight with Wang Chongtai at a large resource site and drove Wang Chongtai away!"

"Holy crap, is this for real? Wasn't he ranked 69th overall? How did he beat Wang Chongtai?"

"He used an invincible skill and thrashed Wang Zhongtai for a full two minutes!"

"An invincibility skill that lasts for 2 minutes? The cooldown time must be quite long, right?"

"Of course, it's definitely unusable now."

"That's okay."

When the thousands of players saw that Jiang Liu, who held the letter of appointment, was only at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, they couldn't help but move forward ten steps at once, their faces full of eager anticipation.

But when they heard that this person was ranked sixty-ninth on the overall list, they silently took five steps back.

Upon hearing that this newbie ranked 69th on the overall leaderboard had defeated the top player ranked 21st, they silently took ten steps back. The eagerness on their faces vanished instantly, replaced by deep apprehension.

But when he heard that he had used an invincible skill to defeat the top-ranked player who was ranked 21st on the overall leaderboard, and that the invincible skill had not yet cooled down, he subconsciously took ten steps forward.

Moving forward and backward, the main strategy is to create an extreme pull.

Jiang Liu looked around at the group of players moving in and out, and couldn't help but frown slightly, somewhat confused about what they were doing.

What's wrong with you?

Since I don't understand it, I won't bother.

He immediately drew the Bloodstained Hundred Slaughter Sword, the two-meter-long crimson greatsword held upright in front of him, its tip pointing at a group of players directly in front of him, and shouted coldly, "All of you come at me at once, I'm in a hurry!"

Surrounding players: "."

The surrounding players were slightly taken aback when they saw Jiang Liu taking the initiative to provoke them. They thought to themselves, "Why are you so arrogant? Don't you see there are thousands of us?"
They'll all attack together; one skill from each of them could kill you!
Jiang Liu's provocation made the players present hesitate. They didn't understand why Jiang Liu dared to provoke thousands of people, and they were hesitant to make the first move.

They weren't afraid of the river's flow; they were just afraid of others profiting from it.

No one made the first move. Under Jiang Liu's sword pointing, the surroundings were silent, and the atmosphere was somewhat heavy, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on them, making it hard to breathe and extremely oppressive.

After a silence of about ten seconds, someone suddenly spoke up.

"Jiang Liu, I feel we can talk."

One of the players shouted at Jiang Liu.

Talk?

Jiang Liu frowned, glanced over, and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to talk about?"

"Put the employment letter down and we'll let you go."

The player said, "We have over a thousand late-stage Golden Core players here. No matter how strong you are, you can't possibly escape from over a thousand late-stage Golden Core players."

"Since you can't escape, why don't you put down the employment letter and we become friends?"

Upon hearing this, the other players echoed his sentiments.

"Yes, yes, we can avoid unnecessary bloodshed and sacrifice."

"You don't want to lose your life at the very beginning of the battle, do you?"

"Put the offer letter down, let's be friends, and I'll treat you to KFC when you come to Beijing sometime."

A cacophony of voices rose up around him, each one seemingly genuinely concerned for Jiang Liu's well-being, urging him to drop the offer letter and leave immediately.

The title of 69th on the overall combat power ranking is quite prestigious, making these players both cautious and timid, and they dare not confront Jiang Liu head-on.

Rather than fighting Jiang Liu, they would rather he just get lost and then fight each other to seize the employment contracts based on their own abilities.

After all, their combat strength is similar.

Jiang Liu: “.”

Are you asking me to give up my offer of employment?
These players' words amused Jiang Liu. He thought to himself, "I went through all that trouble to secure this job offer, and you're telling me to give it up?"

How dare you!
He smiled, glanced at all the players in his line of sight, nodded slightly, and then slashed with his sword!
Is this all you mean by "talking"? Then what's the point of talking? Let's get to work.

"Five Elements Spiritual Ascension Technique!"

"Five Elements Revolving Sword!"

"Five Spirit Sword Formation! Bloodthirsty Sword Formation!"

Thousands of players at the late Golden Core stage and the Great Perfection of the Golden Core realm?

I can easily kill thousands of gold pills in cross-server events, so why would I be afraid of you guys?
A sword, raised like a crescent moon, suddenly slashed out. Its speed was so fast that it was impossible for anyone to react. The players in front of it saw their vision covered by a five-colored fluorescent light, and then they felt an extremely strong premonition of death.

"Worritha launched a sneak attack!"

"You dared to strike first!?"

"Spiritual Dust"

"what."

"Ah."

"Ah ah ah."

They never expected that Jiang Liu would have such a violent temper, resorting to killing without a second thought.

He was momentarily stunned, and in that instant of blankness, the sword slashed down from the sky!

A single sword strike clears the entire screen once more!
All the players directly in front of Jiang Liu were instantly killed; none survived!

This sword strike instantly killed hundreds of Golden Core players, and even the top few hundred meters of the building beneath their feet were cleaved in two by the sword!
The power of this sword is terrifying and awe-inspiring!

The players directly in front of them were cleared out, and the players on the other three sides and six sides stared at the rows of tombstones, their pupils shrinking and their faces filled with horror.

They guessed that Jiang Liu would be strong, but they didn't expect him to be this strong!
These are over a hundred players who have reached the late-stage, perfected Golden Core realm!

This isn't a monster at the Golden Core stage, it's a player at the Golden Core stage!

He killed them all with just one sword strike?

You think this is monster grinding?!
In the ensuing silence, when they saw Jiang Liu turn his gaze, they involuntarily took several steps back, looking at him with fear in their eyes.

"What else?"

Jiang Liu turned the tip of his sword straight up and pointed it at the players on the other side, his expression calm.

What else?
Of course we have to do it, otherwise what are we here for?
Want to see how awesome you are?
He's all alone!

"With so many of us, one skill from each of us would be enough to kill him!"

"Let's attack together and kill him instantly!"

"Kill him first, then we'll divide the employment contracts!"

After a brief moment of shock, the remaining eight or nine hundred players continued to shout, their bodies surging with various spiritual energies, their powerful aura belonging to the Golden Core stage soaring into the sky.

You're very strong, you're awesome.

However, there are many of us.

Just as they said, each of them, with just one skill, would be enough to kill Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu was also aware of this. Although his health and defense had been increasing, it was still not enough to withstand the attacks of nearly a thousand late-stage Golden Core cultivators. If he was not careful, he would be instantly killed.

High in the sky, imbued with various spiritual energies, waves of skills rained down on Jiang Liu like a meteor shower.

"The stars have changed!"

Jiang Liu teleported instantly, hiding behind the building beneath him, using it as a shield to dodge the various spiritual techniques flying towards him.

next second.

The thousand-meter-tall building beneath our feet collapsed with a deafening roar!

Faced with the onslaught of a Golden Core cultivator, a towering building as majestic as a mountain is as fragile as paper.

Although the building was as thin as paper, it still managed to block dozens of attacks for Jiang Liu.

Amidst the swirling dust and debris, hundreds of dazzling skills of various colors were interspersed. While the power of a single skill was not strong, their sheer number made up for it.

"Here comes the sword!"

Faced with the onslaught of skills, Jiang Liu raised his hand and summoned the dual sword formation he had previously conjured. Seventeen mysterious swords wove together to form a sharp sword shield, which stood before him.

"Mystic Ice Seal!"

After assembling the sword and shield, he once again used the Xuanbing Seal, which he hadn't used in a long time, and an ice sculpture that seemed indestructible appeared around him.

Although the Mystic Ice Seal is a Mystic-rank skill, its defensive effect is extremely strong. Especially after Jiang Liu broke through to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, it is almost impossible for attacks below the Nascent Soul stage to break it.

A towering building, a double sword formation as a shield, and a mysterious ice seal.

This attack by nearly a thousand Golden Core players was successfully blocked!

1 vs 1000, it's just around the corner!
After blocking this wave of attacks, Jiang Liu did not pause at all and immediately summoned the Supreme Dragon Boat!

A ten-thousand-meter-long, ultimate-level vehicle appeared in the players' field of vision. They all looked up, staring in astonishment at the magnificent dragon boat that resembled a colossal beast.

They were all players from Zone 1 and Zone 2, so they naturally understood what a 10,000-meter-long vehicle meant.

That's the concept of 1 million spirit stones!

I am!

This newbie from Zone 4 actually has a premium-level vehicle!
Is this for real? That's 1 million spirit stones!

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that a player from the fourth server actually possessed an item worth 1 million spirit stones.

This newbie is way too rich!

While they were still in shock, Jiang Liu had already jumped onto the Supreme Dragon Boat.

then.

They drove off in the ultimate dragon boat!
The giant dragon boat, tens of thousands of meters long, suddenly accelerated and sped away into the distance in full view of everyone!

shocked!
The players who were besieging Jiang Liu were stunned, staring blankly as the giant tool sped away, and it wasn't until several seconds later that they reacted.

"Did he run away?"

The players looked at each other with puzzled expressions, then exchanged glances before finally realizing what was going on.

Didn't they run away?

"Damn it! He actually got away!"

"Damn, he was putting on such a strong show of force, I thought he was going to fight a bloody battle, but it turned out to be just a show-off!"

"We can't let him get away like this, chase after him!"

After killing more than a hundred of them, they turned and ran away, which infuriated them. They chased after them, their faces full of anger.

But how could they possibly keep up with the speed of a premium vehicle?

Despite their swearing and relentless pursuit, he could only watch helplessly as the dragon boat flew further and further away, feeling extremely frustrated.

"Hmph, you're stupid, aren't you? You really think I'm going to fight you?"

Jiang Liu sat on the dragon boat, humming twice with a smug look on his face.

He never took these Golden Core players seriously; if he had the time, he wouldn't mind playing around with them.

But the problem is, there's no time right now.

If we waste too much time here, what if the number one player in the entire server also arrives?
It's better to be safe than sorry; if we don't run now, when will we?
