Everyone's playing as a roguelike, starting with an extra Mythical Relic.

Before Chu Yang could ponder the meaning behind Yu Lu's words, he saw the Lord of the Dark River already facing the sword dragon controlled by Wan Jian alone.

The enormous sword dragon that could easily pierce through the city's protective array vanished completely when it reached a range of three meters in front of the Lord of the Dark River!

This situation reminded Chu Yang of the time he competed with someone at the Dark River headquarters.

At that time, neither his "Lightning Strike" nor the lightning of the lightning spirit could reach within three meters of the Lord of the Dark River.

Then the Lord of the Dark River raised his hand and actually grasped the entire moat of Yuyang City in his hand.

With a flick of his hand, a colossal wave crashed down upon the myriad swords.

Water has no fixed shape. The sword and shield in front of Wan Jian could block the barrage of bullets aimed at him, but they could not stop the all-pervasive river.

Moreover, once this great river came into the hands of the Lord of the Dark River, it was no longer an ordinary river.

Surrounded by the great river, Wan Jian felt his strength being drained away bit by bit, along with his life force.

Suddenly, the figure of Wan Jian in the river vanished!

On a long sword suspended in mid-air, the figure of Wan Jian appeared.

Wan Jian made a hand seal again, and countless flying swords stood suspended in the air.

This time, the longsword did not condense into a dragon, but instead shot towards the Lord of the Dark River from all directions.

Unfortunately, no matter which direction the flying swords came from, they would all disappear without a trace once they came within three meters of the Lord of the Dark River.

While watching the battle, Chu Yang couldn't help but ask, "Is the Lord of the Dark River immune to all ranged attacks?"

Yu Lu, who was standing beside him, nodded and said, "Yes, all ranged attacks are useless against you, sir."

In the air, the Lord of the Dark River once again wielded the long river. Anyone touched by this river would have a large amount of life points instantly devoured.

However, it is not easy for this long river to touch Wan Jian, because wherever his sword is, Wan Jian can arrive instantly.

Moreover, his displacement technique seems to have no cooldown and cannot be controlled or restricted.

At this moment, the sky was filled with longswords.

Each of these longswords is a teleportation point for ten thousand swords.

His ability to move around is even more incredible than Hong Niang's "Fan-Swept Step".

Wan Jian, who had been constantly teleporting to dodge the attacks of the Lord of the Dark River, stopped launching flying sword attacks against him.

Through his previous probing attacks, he had confirmed that ranged attacks were completely ineffective against the opponent.

But he's not just good at ranged attacks!

A sword light swiftly pierced through the River Lord's whip, stopping just three meters in front of him.

On the longsword, ten thousand swords teleported in an instant.

The moment he appeared, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and swiftly pierced towards the Lord of the Dark River, three meters away, as fast as lightning.

When Wan Jian made the thrusting motion, he didn't have a sword in his hand, but as soon as he finished the motion, a sword appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Because he barely held the sword the entire time, his thrusting speed was extremely fast.

Even the Lord of the Dark River didn't have time to react.

Just when Chu Yang thought the Lord of the Dark River was about to be caught off guard, the long sword that had reached the Lord of the Dark River's throat, as well as the genius Wan Jian who was holding the long sword, disappeared!

He reappeared, now a hundred meters away from the Lord of the Dark River.

Wan Jian looked at the sword in his hand and the Lord of the Dark River standing still, lost in thought.

Chu Yang was also very puzzled. This spirit prodigy had clearly gotten close to the Lord of the Dark River and was almost able to injure him.

Why would you suddenly teleport away?

No! He didn't teleport away by himself!

Yu Lu smiled and said, "My lord is not only immune to ranged attacks, but also to melee attacks, because anything that gets close enough to harm him will be randomly teleported a hundred meters away!"

As expected, it was the power of the Lord of the Dark River.

[Ignores all ranged attacks; if you try to attack him in melee, you'll be teleported hundreds of meters away!]

So, both ranged and melee attacks are ineffective against him? Isn't this ability just cheating?!

【You're using cheats even more excessively than me?!】

Chu Yang couldn't help but start thinking about whether he would have a chance of winning if he were to fight the Lord of the Dark River.

It turned out that winning was almost impossible, but he couldn't lose either.

Even the Lord of the Dark River couldn't do anything to him, who was invincible and immune to control effects throughout the entire fight.

In the air, Wan Jian launched several more close-quarters attacks.

Each time it was faster and more covert than the last.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't hurt the Lord of the Dark River.

"Domain? You came down from above."

This was the first time Wan Jian had spoken, and he spoke in the spirit language.

His tone was calm, and his confidence in himself was not shaken in the slightest because his opponent was a higher-level being.

The Lord of the Dark River lashed out with his whip again, brushing past Wan Jian's body: "Trying to kill a prodigy is indeed not easy. I'm really curious how much life force you have... You've already had a million life force devoured by my 'Flowing Water Whip,' yet you're still acting like nothing happened."

Because Chu Yang had kept [Universal Language Proficiency] active and possessed top-tier hearing at the second-tier max level, he could clearly hear the conversation between Wan Jian and the Lord of the Dark River.

He turned to Yulu beside him and asked, "What is a domain?"

For some reason, this time when they met, the female spy Yulu answered all his questions.

"The Domain is an ability that can only be comprehended by a fourth-tier Profound Nether Realm cultivator. It's a pity that your power is restricted, and you can't use many of your abilities. Otherwise, even a prodigy wouldn't have been able to entangle with him for so long..."

Fourth-tier abilities?

How could people up there actually come down?!

This was the first time Chu Yang had ever realized that not only could people below go up, but people from the upper world could also come down!

He suddenly remembered Xiaocao's teacher in the first-order gate domain.

He always felt that the old man's combat power was terrifying, and now that he thinks about it, it's very likely that the old man also came down from above.

As Chu Yang was pondering this, the battle situation in the sky suddenly changed.

The Lord of the Dark River, who had been using the "Wandering Water Whip" to chase away the myriad swords and teleport around, suddenly stopped attacking.

He frowned as he looked at the hidden sword intent filling the sky.

A hundred meters away from him, Wan Jian spoke his second sentence: "I promised my master that I wouldn't use any moves he didn't teach me, but in order to complete the mission, I have to break my promise..."

Wan Jian once again swung his sword at the Lord of the Dark River.

This sword strike carried no killing intent whatsoever; the sword light had even deviated from the position of the Lord of the Dark River.

But when the Lord of the Dark River saw this sword, he made a dodging motion for the first time.

He took a step and was already a kilometer away, then flashed across the sky multiple times.

No one, including Chu Yang, knew why he was hiding, or why he kept dodging even when he was already a kilometer away.

Only the Lord of the Dark River discovered that no matter where he was, a three-meter radius around him was enveloped by the sword intent of ten thousand swords.

Suddenly, the Lord of the Dark River stopped dodging.

It wasn't that he felt safe; rather, he found himself imprisoned.

No, to be precise, it was the area within a three-meter radius around him, which was exactly the range of his domain, that was confined.

With the space confined, the people inside are naturally unable to move.

His domain remained intact, and the attacks of ten thousand swords still could not harm him.

However, the sword strike from Wan Jian did not target him, but rather the space in which he was located!

With a single swing of the sword, a thousand swords rang out in the sky!

Clang—!

As the sword intent converged, the space around the Lord of the Dark River began to distort.

Boom——!

Wan Jian swung his sword a second time, and the thousands of swords that had rang out in unison shattered together!

A kilometer away, the distorted space instantly calmed down.

However, the Lord of the Dark River in the space has disappeared!

It was as if the Lord of the Dark River no longer existed in the entire world.

After slaying a being from a higher plane with two sword strikes, Wan Jian showed no sign of joy.

On the contrary, he was somewhat worried because he had violated the rules set by his teacher.

The teacher disliked his self-created sword moves, even though he felt that the sword moves he created at will were better than those taught by the teacher.

For example, those two sword strikes were improvised during his battle with the Lord of the Dark River.

Fortunately, he came to attack the city alone, and no one of his own kind saw him, so he didn't have to worry about his teacher finding out.

As for these humans before us...

Just kill them all.
