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

The bone dragon swooped down from the clouds, creating a piercing whistling sound.

The undead players in the camp were the first to notice the unusual movement in the sky. An undead warrior wearing tattered bone armor looked up and saw the bone dragon charging down. His eyes lit up.

"Holy crap! Wow! It's a level 999 player!"

"We're saved!"

"The big boss is coming down! Hahaha, you snake monsters over there, you're doomed!"

……

The giant snake players were also a bit confused. How could a level 999 undead boss appear in this godforsaken place?

Shouldn't the top experts of the Undead race be engaged in fierce battle with the top experts of the Giant Serpent race on the Scorched Rock Plains at this time?

But before they could think any further, the giant snake players immediately retreated.

"Let's go, let's go!"

"Get out of here immediately!"

"Boss, it's too late! We haven't disengaged from the battle yet..."

"Never mind all that, just get as many as you can!"

……

The undead players in the stronghold reacted extremely quickly.

Seeing the giant serpent players scatter in disarray, the leading undead warrior leaped over the bone wall, brandishing his bone sword, and gave chase: "Brothers! Let's fucking kill them!"

"Weren't you guys fighting like crazy just now? Why are you running away now?!"

Hundreds of undead players charged out with howls, unleashing a barrage of skills—bone spears, death rays, summoned skeletons—onto the fleeing giant snake players.

The situation instantly shifted from a defensive counter-attack to a one-sided pursuit.

Riftscale and Matt, who were following behind these giant snake players, were still a little dazed when they saw the sky suddenly darken!

When their vision returned, there was another figure in front of them.

A level 999 undead player was standing less than two meters in front of them.

It turned out that Liu Nian had directly cast the Eternal Night Curtain.

Liu Nian locked onto Matt from an extremely long distance and instantly appeared in front of the two of them!

Kalon teleported over as well, then casually swung his hand—boom!

A wave of death energy spread out, instantly killing everyone except Riftscale and Matt, including the undead players who had chased after them!

Lie Lin and Matt stared blankly at the level 999 undead boss in front of them.

What's going on? Everyone else has been killed, leaving only the two of us? Is this some kind of business they want with us?

"have not seen you for a long time."

Liu Nian spoke up.

Matt and Lie Lin looked at each other in bewilderment.

This tone... it sounds like we've known each other before.

But they've never even met this big shot before!

Lie Lin's vertical pupils stared intently into the other person's eyes, her mind racing. Suddenly, she realized something.

"You...you're Liu Nian?!"

She had known for a long time that Liu Nian had a skill that allowed him to perfectly disguise himself as other players, and not long ago Liu Nian had appeared on the southern subcontinent of the Undead World, where he killed Pharaoh Amenhote. At that time, the Realm of Abyss issued a system announcement!

Considering these two points, with Lie Lin's sharp mind, it was natural to deduce that the most likely candidate was Liu Nian.

Matt, standing nearby, was taken aback: "Liu Nian?"

He also considered this possibility.

Liu Nian let out a short laugh, and then his figure began to change.

The dark plate armor dissipated like mist, the eerie green ghost fire went out, and in its place appeared a suit of golden armor, with twelve wings of light slowly unfolding behind it.

Just by looking at this outfit, you can tell at a glance that this equipment is incredibly awesome!

Liu Nian regained his original appearance and aura, with a bright level indicator above his head—[LV689 Liu Nian (Dragon Descendant)].

Lie Lin's vertical pupils suddenly contracted into a slit.

Level 689?!

How is that possible?!

She ascended from the Netherworld much earlier than Liu Nian, and after desperately leveling up alongside others, she's only reached a little over 300 points.

How did Liu Nian manage to rise to 689?

Yes, this must be fake! This kid is bluffing me!

But then she thought... it seems there's no need for that at all, right?

The important thing is that with Liu Nian's current strength, he doesn't need to consider her level to kill her.

"Hmph," Lie Lin suppressed his fear and let out a cold laugh, "I never expected you could actually track me here. Come on, so what if you die once? I, Lie Lin, have lived this long, what haven't I seen?"

She spoke with a strong tone, but the tip of the snake's tail had already unconsciously curled up.

Matt, who was standing to the side, saw that Liu Nian's face was also pale, but seeing how calm Lie Lin was, he also forced himself to straighten his back.

Yeah, at worst he'll die once and lose a couple of pieces of equipment. No matter how strong Liu Nian is, what can he do to him?

"Heh," Matt chuckled sarcastically, "I wondered who it was, but it's our great hero from Earth! What, you chased me all this way just to kill me to vent your anger? Heh heh, that's all you've got. You kill me once, I resurrect once; you kill me a hundred times, I resurrect a hundred times. What can you do to me?"

Liu Nian did not speak.

He just looked at Matt, his eyes as calm as a stagnant pool.

Matt felt a chill run down his spine from that gaze, but his words grew increasingly sharp: "What, did I say something wrong? I, Matt, betrayed Blue Star, so what? I'm alive! I'm alive better than any of you! My level is 230, the highest among Blue Star players... uh..."

He paused for a moment when he noticed Liu Nian's level, but then continued, "You're just pretending to be level 689, burying your head in the sand! Hmph, you've chased me here because you can't do anything to me, right? So what if you kill me once? I can just resurrect and make you furious! Hahaha—"

He laughed loudly, as if trying to hide all his fear in his laughter.

Lie Lin sneered, a hint of mockery in his vertical pupils: "Liu Nian, you are indeed very strong. But no matter how strong you are, it doesn't change one fact—we can be resurrected after we die!"

Matt sneered, "What's that saying again: I love seeing you raging incompetence, yet unable to do anything about it!"

Liu Nian waited until they finished laughing before slowly speaking.

"Do you really think that I would go through dimensional strife to hunt you down just to kill you once?"

Matt's laughter stopped abruptly.

"No... what else?" he said stubbornly, but his voice was already a little weak.

Liu Nian did not answer his question, but turned to look at Lie Lin.

"Lielin, you're right, players can indeed be resurrected after they die."

The snake's tail, with its split scales, relaxed slightly.

"But—" Liu Nian's voice lingered, "Do you think it's possible that I've found a way to permanently eliminate a player?"

Lie Lin's expression froze.

Matt's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

"Heh..." Matt chuckled. "You...you're trying to scare me. Only forces at level nine or higher possess that kind of method..."

"Then how do you know I didn't?"

Liu Nian took out a dark purple bead from his backpack.

The bead was only the size of a fist, and its surface shimmered with a dull light, like a solidified dark star.
