Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

Someone shouted, and the adventurers rushed forward like tigers released from their cages.

Cang Youbing said "Oh," raised an eyebrow with interest, put his hands behind his back, and watched quietly.

"die!"

One of them rushed up to Zuo Chang and swung his knife!

This was an adventurer from the first realm, and he looked very young. His eyes revealed a fierce determination, yet they still held the clear, youthful gaze characteristic of a young person, suggesting he was not yet worldly-wise.

"We took the wrong path and chose the wrong opponent."

"veteran"

How can a naive teenager compete with a fully-leveled veteran?

What the veteran gave Zuo Chang was not only knowledge of adventure, but also combat experience.

Zuo Chang arrived first despite being behind, his Moon Crown Sword shimmering with light as he lightly flicked it—

The boy's throat was precisely and gently severed, blood spurted out, and he collapsed to the ground convulsing!

"Zitong!"

A panicked and extremely anxious shout rang out.

Behind the boy, a middle-aged man with wide eyes, disregarding the ongoing battle, abandoned Zuo Chang and ran towards the fallen boy.

Zuo Chang could not possibly miss such a golden opportunity.

With a flick of his wrist, the Moon Crown Sword flashed like a fan of light, beheading him!

More blood gushed out, staining half of Zuo Chang's body. Zuo Chang's eyes were devoid of emotion. He glanced at the rolling head out of the corner of his eye and thought to himself, "Father and son? How interesting."

After two swings, the Moon Crown Sword gradually became damp.

It seems sharper now.

Without a doubt, this is the "Tide" taking effect, and Zuo Chang's attacks are becoming more and more powerful than the last.

"This kid is no ordinary first-realm cultivator! Let me handle him!"

A loud shout rang out in front of him, and a burly man, as strong as a mountain, pushed aside one person and charged towards Zuo Chang.

Zuo Chang looked at the massive axe in his hand, as tall as a man, and was secretly shocked: "Third Realm! Still using heavy weapons!"

In the game, heavy weapons have a significant advantage. In addition to the normal damage calculation, they are multiplied by a 'strength modifier', resulting in impressive damage numbers.

Correspondingly, heavy weapons have very poor mobility; while other followers can move seven or eight squares per turn, heavy weapons can only move a maximum of four squares.

The heavy axe-wielding boar suddenly appeared before them, and with each stomp of its foot, the earth shook.

only……

"Not fast enough."

As someone whose brain and cerebrum are both developing normally, Zuo Chang certainly wouldn't just pick up his sword and charge in, insisting on fighting the heavy axe.

The surrounding environment was a narrow path carved out of the forest, no more than five meters wide.

The road is lined with dense bushes, and further away are woods.

Without much thought, Zuo Chang suddenly sheathed his sword and ran towards the woods—

"He's going to run!"

"Don't let him get away!"

As Zuo Chang attempted to escape, someone immediately followed him.

He carried a steel knife and possessed exceptionally strong leg strength.

In just a few breaths, he surged ahead, leaving his teammates seven or eight body lengths behind.

Zuo Chang had been waiting for this opportunity.

He stopped, turned around, and swung his sword—sudden and deadly!

"?!"

The adventurer was taken aback; Zuo Chang's sudden attack was unexpected. Fortunately, he had the cultivation of the second realm and was able to react in time.

clang!

clang!

The Moon Crown Sword and the Steel Blade clashed twice, and neither suffered a loss.

The adventurer felt much more at ease. He chuckled and shouted, "You piece of trash from the first realm dare to mess with me! I'll give you some guts!"

He attacked again!

Zuo Chang held his breath and focused intently on the enemy.

"Cang! Cang!"

Two more exchanges of fire ensued.

The moisture on the Moon Crown Sword grew heavier and heavier, and the blade emitted a faint blue light in the dark night, which was exceptionally beautiful to behold!

With each swing, the sound of water booms, and the number of "tides" is already quite impressive!

The adventurer looked suspicious and cautiously adjusted his stance.

He glanced at his sword and noticed several new nicks on it. In the previous clashes, Zuo Chang's swordplay had become increasingly heavy.

Especially the last one!

That feeling...

It was like a wave crashing in his face, seemingly weak and powerless, but its immense force made his wrist, which was holding the knife, tremble!

"His weapon... seems unusual. And his moves are skillful, his swordsmanship is adept, unlike that of a novice."

The adventurer quietly stepped back.

He glanced back instinctively and saw that his nearest teammate was only three or four meters away, and couldn't help but think, "Why are they taking so long to get here—"

The moon rises from the clouds, and the ground is covered in silver light!

The adventurer was momentarily distracted, and when he looked ahead again, he was shocked to find himself surrounded by an eerie blue and white sword light.

The moment he was distracted, Zuo Chang caught him.

The adventurer was certain that his attention had been diverted for less than a second, but his opponent was so skilled that he could seize that fleeting opportunity. The sword was so fast and fierce that it pierced his throat, through the back of his neck, and went right through!

"Well……"

The adventurer was powerless to struggle; his eyes were filled with horror, and he fell to the ground as Zuo Chang drew his sword.

Press the victory!

Zuo Chang's eyes widened. After killing someone, he not only did not retreat, but instead took advantage of his victory and charged forward.

The next adventurer is also at the second realm.

He was intimidated by Zuo Chang's imposing aura and subconsciously stopped his pursuit. Seeing the Moon Crown Sword coming down on him, he failed to make an appropriate reaction.

The blade fell, almost slicing him open.

"let me!"

The deafening shouts rang out again.

Zuo Chang turned around and saw that the burly man with the heavy axe had let out a roar and actually abandoned the heavy axe in his hand, striding over.

Judging from the sound of it hitting the ground, that heavy axe must have weighed at least fifty or sixty pounds.

As an adventurer from the third realm, he still possesses considerable combat power even without his axe. Without any heavy objects in his hand, his speed is at least twice as fast!

Zuo Chang sensed his hostility and contempt, and his competitive spirit flared up, making him eager to challenge him.

However, the blessing effect changed after the time travel. The "Decisive Weapon" only lasts until the next attack, and the consumption is extremely high, so it is not very useful in a chaotic battle environment.

Originally, the last of the Four Blessings, "Removal from the Nine Netherworlds," was the most suitable for use now.

Its effect in the game is:

"Nine Netherworld Removal": Within three rounds, the target's health will not fall below one point.

Even if one personally travels through time, being removed from the Nine Netherworlds' register still guarantees survival, but the effects are significantly different:

"Nine Netherworld Removal": Consumes all remaining mana to grant the target immunity to disability or death for the next five minutes, maintaining a relatively high level of combat effectiveness. A final assessment will be conducted based on the situation after the effect ends.

"Judgment Passed": During the Nine Netherworld Removal period, if the damage received by the target is less than the target's health, the target survives without any damage.

"Failed judgment": Conversely, the target dies.

"During the duration, you can use healing techniques to mitigate the damage taken by the target. You can observe whether there are 'Soul Reapers' beside the target to determine whether the assessment has been successful."

Significantly weakened!

The Nine Netherworlds no longer grant unconditional immunity from death upon removal from the register.

If you attack recklessly during the duration of the effect, taking all the damage head-on, you'll probably end up destroying everything in the process.

That slash really hit me in the kidneys. If it weren't for the fact that I could use "healing" to offset the "damage," I could have thrown away this blessing.

In the current environment...

Zuo Chang did not want to resort to any means unless he had no other options.

"Including the one from last night, I've killed five people now."

Zuo Chang gently closed his eyes.

On the panel, one task has turned green:

[Ten Steps, One Kill: After ending the lives of five adventurers, you can reclaim one skill you once possessed. Current (5/5).]

Reclaiming a skill now might...

"Oh!"

Just as Zuo Chang was about to take action, a huge explosion suddenly rang out.

He turned his head and saw a huge "Ink Skull Jade" explode with a bang, just three or four meters in front of Lychee!
