Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

"Holy crap! Choose option two!"

Is there even a question? That's like being able to unleash a full-power charged punch every 10 minutes!

This mere mythical-level enhancement is no less than an eternal-level enhancement for Liu Nian!

I never expected that this seemingly insignificant dungeon boss could bring him such a huge boost!

It seems that the secret realm is really amazing. Liu Nian went into the secret realm twice, and each time his improvement was a qualitative change!

Liu Nian happily put the sacred object away, then picked up the scale.

【Name: Pet Egg (King of Venomous Centipedes)】

[Quality: Myth]

[Note: This product will hatch into a highly venomous centipede king cub, which can grow into a large adult.]

Liu Nian raised an eyebrow.

A mythical pet egg?

He thought about it and decided to keep it for now.

Mythical-level items are top-tier for ordinary people, but for Liu Nian, they're a bit too low-quality.

After Liu Nian put everything into his backpack, the system notification finally sounded—

[The secret realm will close in 60 seconds!]

Liu contacted Arachne: "How much is left to sweep?"

"There's another ore deposit in the eastern corner," Arachne replied. "It should take about three minutes."

"Stop collecting them, let's meet at the entrance!"

The secret realm will close soon, and there will probably be another fierce battle!

A flash of white light appeared, and Liu Nian opened his eyes. He was standing in the stone chamber again.

Behind him, the huge stone door had disappeared, leaving only a mottled stone wall covered with moss and vines, as if there had never been a door at all.

And in front of him—

There were twenty people standing there.

Liu Nian glanced at it.

There were quite a few familiar faces—the cannibal he had just killed was among them, glaring at him with eyes that looked like he wanted to devour him.

The necromancer and the dark elf were also eyeing them menacingly at the steps.

The remaining dozen or so unfamiliar faces were all newly recruited helpers.

Standing at the very front was a human assassin.

A suit of jet-black leather armor clung to his body, reflecting no light whatsoever, as if it could devour the surrounding light. Two daggers, gleaming with an eerie light, hung at his waist, one wreathed in shadow power, the other shrouded in blood-red light.

【LV199 Night Owl (Guild Leader of Shadow Hand Guild)】

"Boss, that's him!"

The barbarian pointed at Liu Nian, gritting his teeth, his face trembling with rage.

Night Owl stared at Liu Nian, his gaze like two knives, scraping back and forth across Liu Nian's body.

"A level 175 Sun Elf..." His voice was hoarse, like sandpaper rubbing against stone, "Thranduil, the guild leader of the Dawnbreaker Guild?"

Liu Nian didn't say anything.

Night Owl continued, "My men spent so much time planning this secret realm, losing six brothers and losing at least seven or eight thousand crystal coins in the process."

He took a step forward.

"And then you did it all by yourself! What do you call that? Snatching the prize?"

He tilted his head, his eyes cold.

"So, how do you plan to settle this?"

Liu Nian looked at him and suddenly laughed: "How about... I compensate you with something?"

The owl narrowed its eyes.

"Compensate? Can you afford to compensate?"

"Haha, isn't this a coincidence? I just finished a dungeon run, and I happen to have some money on me!"

The owl's eyes turned cold: "You think you're funny?"

"Isn't it funny?" Liu Nian scratched his head. "Then forget it, I won't pay you back."

Night Owl's face darkened completely: "Did you think you'd still profit even if you died? Let me tell you, this is just the beginning, not even interest! From now on, we, the Hand of the Night, will launch an endless assassination campaign against your Dawn members! We'll make your lives a living hell, until you disband!"

"Hehe!" Liu Nian laughed. "If I were to disband the Dawn Guild right now, how would you respond?"

Night Owl was stunned for a moment upon hearing this: "You...you!"

These words completely disrupted his thoughts... Yes, this guy is very rich now, he has a secret realm all to himself, even without a guild he's still very wealthy!

After disbanding the guild, this guy was essentially free of burdens, and from then on, he was free to roam the world on his own...

As for the other elves in his guild... he had no grudge against them, and Thranduil did it all by himself... Besides, he'd disbanded the guild, so where was he going to find those elves...?

The members of the Shadow Hand exchanged bewildered glances after hearing Liu Nian's words.

This is... really fucking difficult to handle!

"Damn it! You're gonna be hunted down by me for the rest of your life!!"

Night Owl finally couldn't maintain his cold and aloof persona any longer and roared with a flushed face.

"Don't be so sure! It's still uncertain who will kill whom!" Liu Nian laughed.

Night Owl stared at Liu Nian: "You? Ha!"

He raised his hand and pointed behind him.

"There are twenty people here, all at least level 160, and thirty more outside. They've completely surrounded this area. And me!" He pointed to himself with his thumb, "Ranked eighteenth on the assassin list! I wouldn't even need a second move to kill you!"

"Oh? What a coincidence!" Liu Nian exclaimed in surprise. "If I wanted to kill you all, I still wouldn't need a second punch!"

"How dare you speak so arrogantly! Die!"

He roared and his figure became a blur as he lunged at Liu Nian.

"Do it!!!"

Twenty people moved at the same time.

Warriors charged, assassins stalked, mages chanted, and archers drew their bows—the light of skills illuminated the entire stone chamber, and blades, sword energy, magic, and arrows rained down on Liu Nian.

Liu Nian tilted his head back and gently drank the Shadow Spider Queen's blessing.

The icy liquid slid down his throat, instantly transforming into a torrent of heat that surged wildly through his limbs and bones.

Liu Nian's aura suddenly surged.

His hair moved without wind, and his robes fluttered. As he clenched his right fist and pulled it back, a powerful suction force, like a black hole, appeared in front of him!

Although many enemies quickly broke free from the pulling force, their attacks struck Liu Nian.

However, the shield on Liu Nian's body was thicker than these people had imagined!

And then he threw a punch!

"boom--------!!!"

-2.618478641!! (True damage)

A terrifying fan-shaped shockwave erupted from Liu Nian's fist, instantly engulfing the entire stone chamber.

Wherever the shockwave passed, everything was reduced to dust.

The walls of the stone chamber collapsed.

The floor of the stone chamber—crashed.

The ceiling of the stone chamber—shattered.

The skills that rushed towards him—the blades shattered, the sword energy dissipated, the magic vanished, and the arrows turned to ashes.

And those who rushed towards him—

Night Owl, the first to be hit, is a level 199 Void Assassin and one of the top twenty experts on the Naraku Realm's combat power ranking. At this moment, he can't even let out a scream.

He completely vaporized!

The barbarians, ogres, assassins, warriors, mages... all twenty people behind him were blown to ashes without exception!

Equipment clattered and fell all over the ground...

Among them, a golden skill enhancement gem dropped after a long time!
