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

The culprit who destroyed the Azure Town betrayed both humans and ratmen, and later became a demon and ascended to the Netherworld.

When Liu Nian first met the female Riftscale, she mentioned that it was Matt who told her about the Dragonborn and Liu Nian!

So the one who started all of this is this traitor!

From the competition zone to the abyss, this guy has been a double agent all the way, even more of a fence-sitter than a fence-sitter!

Matt walked out of the passage and stood half a step behind Riftscale, a fake smile on his face that looked like he wanted to punch someone.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, his gaze swept over Forgefire Fortress and the demon army lined up in formation, a smug expression spreading across his face. In other words, he said, "Didn't expect that, did you? I, Hu Hansan, am back!"

Liu Nian hid in the shadows, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, his knuckles turning white.

He understands everything now.

Matt, that traitor, has been secretly watching the movements of the Divine Dragon Guild ever since he ascended from the competition area to the Netherworld.

He watched the Divine Dragon Guild grow stronger day by day, and saw Liu Nian and the name of the Divine Dragon Guild go from being unknown to being a household name. He must have felt incredibly jealous and afraid!

He was afraid that the people of Blue Star would hold him accountable, and that he would never be able to recover in his life, so he had to take action and destroy the foundation of the Divine Dragon Guild!

But he couldn't possibly do it alone! So he needed help.

So he and Lie Lin hit it off immediately!

Lie Lin was also driven to desperation by Liu Nian and had no choice but to flee the desolate fortress in a sorry state.

The saying "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" is perfectly exemplified in these two individuals.

Lie Lin's hatred for Liu Nian was no less than that for Matt—she, the dignified leader of the snake people and fifth on the combat power list, was so badly beaten by Liu Nian that she didn't even dare to care about her subordinates and simply ran away!

Especially now that the Serpent People have joined the Pharaoh's forces and become the enemy of the entire realm, how could Riftscale, with his personality, not seek revenge for all these old and new grudges?!

As for the coordinates of the competition area, Matt certainly knew that!

This guy ascended from the competition zone, so he knows the terrain of the zone like the back of his hand, or at least very well.

Now that the competition area has become no-man's land and the level restrictions have been lifted, he can naturally return here!

Therefore, it's not surprising that he was able to provide the coordinates here to Riftscale!

But... how did Riftscale manage to contact the Abyss Demons?

Liu Nian couldn't figure it out. How could a level 233 snake-man and a level 163 demon make a level 999 eternal demon obedient?

Based on looks? Obviously not. Based on money? What use would the devil have for your worthless crystal coins?

As for the value of this region... for the demons, it's just about harvesting some jungle monsters...

Therefore, there must be some twists and turns he doesn't know about.

Liu Nian even wondered if the demons knew that there were level eight main city ruins here?

But none of that matters now.

The important thing is that their ancestral land is now being targeted by multiple forces.

Liu Nian took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. He knew this was not the time to act impulsively. If he rushed out now, facing a level 999 Bourgeois, twenty-three frost dragons, and a city full of demon armies—he wouldn't be a hero; he would be an easy target.

Even if you consume all the experience points that Xiao Tuantuan has accumulated so far, so what if you can instantly level up to 499?

A level 499 player fighting a level 999 player? That's like a middle school student boxing against Mike Tyson; one punch and he's dead.

Therefore, he had to go back and redeploy.

Just then, Feigras suddenly turned his head and glanced in the direction where Liu Nian was hiding.

Those eyes, burning with dark purple flames, seemed to pierce through distance and all obstacles, landing directly on him.

That mocking gaze was like an old cat staring at a mouse that thought it was well hidden, but was actually exposed the whole time.

It grinned, puffing out black smoke, and said:

"Little guy, you've been hiding there watching for ages. Come out, I can already smell you, hehehe~"

Liu Nian's body stiffened for a moment, then he slowly emerged from the shadows.

The Breaker is currently in good condition and can activate at any time, so there's no need for him to flee in a sorry state. He should just stand up and face the world squarely.

As the saying goes, "Even if you lose the battle, you must not lose your spirit."

He walked to an open area, gazing calmly at the distant army of demons.

"Fergrass," he said, his voice soft but clear, "we meet again!"

Fergus tilted its head, as if recalling something. If you could ignore its skinless face, the movement was actually kind of cute.

Its eyes suddenly lit up, like two light bulbs suddenly being switched on.

"It's you!" Its voice rose several octaves, carrying a sense of sudden realization, "The little guy who shattered my projection with a single punch!"

It seemed to be sizing up Liu Nian, its grin widening even further: "Interesting, very interesting. A level 199 little bug, actually dares to stand in front of me and confront me. I must say, you have a lot of guts, so much so that I'm somewhat impressed."

"However—" its voice suddenly turned cold, and the surrounding air seemed to drop several degrees, "those who are bold usually die quickly."

Liu Nian didn't want to exchange harsh words with the other party; it was pointless. He simply turned his gaze slowly to Lie Lin and Matt.

Lie Lin noticed Liu Nian's gaze, stepped out from behind Fei Gelas, stared at Liu Nian with his vertical pupils, and a cold smile on his lips, a smile that clearly carried a sense of smugness that said, "You've finally met your match."

"Liu Nian, didn't expect this, did you? The tables have turned." Her voice wasn't loud, each word seemingly squeezed out from between her teeth. "Not long ago, you cornered me in the Savage Fortress, and you didn't expect me to retaliate so quickly! Today, you can't even protect your own ancestral land. Tell me, isn't this retribution?"

You think you deserve retribution for a chicken neck?!

Liu Nian thought to himself, "I can't do anything to that level 999 BOSS, but what is this Riftscale? And you're talking to me about retribution? Do you insidious and shameless snake people deserve it?"

"Looks like you haven't had enough of a beating. Don't worry, I'll take good care of your snake-people brethren in the Land of Abyss!"

Yes, I can't do anything to you right now that you're hiding over there, but all your clansmen are in the Netherworld. You'll see if I can just deal with them!

After Liu Nian finished speaking, he ignored Lie Lin's ugly expression and coldly said to Matt beside him, "Mat, you deserve to die! Do you really love being a traitor that much?"

Matt's fake smile froze for a moment, her facial muscles twitched, and then she quickly returned to normal.

But that twitch betrayed his true feelings—he was still afraid of Liu Nian.
