161: Why won't you let yourselves off the hook?

【Ding, you have killed Lin Yue Country player 'Gray Suit', favorability with all Lin Yue Country major cities -100 points.】

【Ding, you have killed Lin Yue Country player 'Love Under Western Trousers', favorability with all Lin Yue Country major cities -100 points.】

...

【Your reputation in Lin Yue Country has dropped to Neutral!】

More than thirty system notification sounds rang out in succession.

They saw that 'Shi Chuan' himself hadn't even made a move, yet their side couldn't even withstand two rounds of attacks from his summoned beasts, and they were thoroughly terrified!

They weren't that afraid of death, after all, it was just extra lifespan being deducted... but they didn't want to die for nothing.

It's just that... Xu Shian's plan to clear the Dungeon and get the first clear had been ruined by this group, and now they wanted to just walk away?

Taking out the 【Elven Longbow】, Boss Xu started calling them out one by one!

With an attack range of 135 meters, do you think you can run?

【Ding, you are slaughtering wantonly in Qinzhu Water Fortress, a major city of Lin Yue Country, and the NPCs of Qinzhu Water Fortress have issued a wanted notice for you!】

Xu Shian discovered that this wanted status and reputation seemed to be two separate systems.

Although the other side had started to declare him wanted, it didn't additionally lower his reputation...

It was quite a miraculous thing.

But unfortunately, it seemed his reputation today was completely doomed!

"Stop!"

A shout of rage came from the city wall not far away.

Immediately, more than a dozen City Defense Force rushed out from the room behind the city wall.

Xu Shian didn't take the dozen soldiers seriously; instead, he looked up at the city wall.

A squad leader... looks like a Black Iron Tier!

Xu Shian breathed a sigh of relief!

Without stopping, he led his underlings and rushed quickly toward the city gate.

Since he was already here, he might as well take the 4 first clears of these two Dungeons before leaving.

When those dozen guards saw this, they thought, 'Hey, you dare not take me seriously?'

Two warrior classes immediately used 【Heroic Leap】 and came toward Xu Shian.

Sigh, are the people of Lin Yue Country always this stubborn?

Why won't they just let themselves go?

With a thought, a burly man three meters tall appeared beside Xu Shian.

He was holding two giant two-handed battle axes!

Cleave!

-3690, -9440 (Critical Hit)

One of the guards was smashed flying back by Gamor's immense strength, and when he landed, he had less than half his health left.

Xu Shian hadn't intended to kill any NPCs...

But he never expected that the other one would trigger a critical hit and die on the spot!

【Ding, you have killed a City Defense Force NPC guard of Qinzhu Water Fortress, a major city of Lin Yue Country, Lin Yue Country reputation -1000 points; current reputation: Cold】

"How bold, to dare to kill my men!"

Du Qing, the City Defense Force squad leader on the city wall, was truly furious. 'Damn it, you actually dare not take me seriously?'

What else is there to say? Kill!

He was just about to leap down from the city wall to give this ignorant brat a slash to the head, but he didn't expect a sharp pain in his back!

【Ambush】

-1485, Stunned

Du Qing lost control of his body, and his feeling was instantly bad! This was the effect of a stun...

Was he stunned by a Rogue's 【Ambush】 skill?

Logically speaking, he was a level 60 【Black Iron Tier】 powerhouse; even if they were the same Black Iron Tier, a player dozens of levels lower shouldn't be able to stun him!

He should have been immune to this stun, yet he was still stunned...

It was terrifying to think about!

-1068, -1213, -1127

【Hemorrhage】

-1698, -214, -335

Finishing Move: 【Assassinate】

-3785

When his health was down to the last quarter or so.

Finally, Du Qing regained control of his body. He looked back and saw a green-skinned goblin attacking him!

Du Qing was enraged. 'Damn it, you green-skinned dwarf, you dare to stir up trouble on my turf?'

He just wanted to counterattack, but the other side hit him in the face with a 【Gouge】.

Du Qing was a bit bewildered; with such a short stature, how did he gouge his face?

At this moment, Du Qing finally remembered that he still had control-removal skills and accessories he could use.

Unfortunately, it was already too late to turn things around.

Just as he removed the control, a sharp pain came from the back of his head again.

【Aim Shot】, 【Arcane Shot】, 【Chimera Shot】

-4480, -1747, -2259

Du Qing's remaining health instantly bottomed out.

He couldn't believe that as a level 60 City Defense Force squad leader, he hadn't even managed to fight back before being killed by the other side.

Xu Shian didn't know these shooting skills.

But his underling Wu Lun did!

See, three arrows in a row and he shot the opponent dead!

【Ding, you have killed Du Qing, the City Defense Force squad leader of Lin Yue Country's Qinzhu Water Fortress, reputation -3000 points, current reputation: Hateful!】

【Ding, you have killed the Qinzhu Water Fortress City Defense Force squad leader, infuriating the Royal City defense system. They may send experts to intercept and kill you, please take care to save your life!】

It was indeed Hateful, because Xu Shian's side had gone all the way and simply killed all the surrounding City Defense Force soldiers.

That reputation value kept dropping!

He quickly tidied up the loot at the scene and then calmly left the city!

On the city wall, Sink also used Stealth and disappeared.

This group of people lying on the ground as corpses were now keeping watch in their soul forms all around, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

They had only kept a little over ten years of extra lifespan in total; the rest had basically been converted into their own strength.

Some of the older ones had also gone to the Fate Merchant in the major city to exchange for original body lifespan!

So, this death only deducted five years of extra lifespan.

It could be considered hitting the minimum standard.

But now they didn't dare to die again!

If they didn't have enough extra lifespan for five years, when it wasn't enough to deduct...

If they died again, it would deduct from their original body lifespan, also half at a time, capped at fifty years, with a minimum of five years, and once it was all deducted, they would die!

As long as the remaining extra lifespan was less than 5 years, it would directly start deducting from the original body lifespan.

In a sense, no matter how long the lifespan, it couldn't withstand dying a few times!

With the surge in the number of deaths in Lin Yue Country.

The death rules in the major city had become known to most players.

For a time, the voices cursing Xu Shian on the forum quieted down a lot.

This was the same logic as in ancient times, when the emperor wanted to kill you, you still had to thank him for his grace.

If you didn't thank him, he wouldn't just kill you; he would kill your whole family...

Before, on Blue Star, no matter how fiercely you flamed someone, you didn't have to worry about the other party coming through the internet cable to beat you up.

But here, the other party really might take a teleportation array over to kill you...

At this point, various forces had already realized.

'Shi Chuan' effectively possessed strength that was several versions ahead of other players! What was even more terrifying was that he had unknown methods to cross national borders...

Arguing was useless; the facts were already laid out before them.

Because on the forum, the entire process of Xu Shian challenging Qinzhu Water Fortress alone had already been released.

This perspective was clearly filmed by a back-row player from the opposing force.

It captured Xu Shian's oppressive power almost to the fullest.

Xu Shian, who was in the Dungeon, also saw it.

After this video, several other footage from different perspectives were released on the forum.

Among them, there was one perspective far from the battlefield and the crowds that captured the entire battle scene the most comprehensively.

Basically, all players and forces with the ambition to vie for supremacy in the new world were concentrating personnel to analyze these few videos.

"I counted, over fifty level 11 players who entered the major city, wiped out in one minute and thirty seconds! And that was with them running away in all directions..."

"Who is still watching how those players died? No need to look at those... Look at the level 60 City Defense Force! This... giant? Where did he find him? He hacked them to death one by one with a single axe?"

"Wasn't he just hacking them to death!"

"I don't know if you noticed... that one shooting arrows... doesn't he look like someone?"

"Like who?"

"An NPC in the Novice Village..."

"There's such a strong NPC in the Novice Village? Are you kidding me?"

"He looks a lot like him..."

"Then have people go and investigate, and also check if this NPC in Novice Village No. 12315 is still there!"

"Understood!"

"Do you think his summoning-type talent might also have the effect of subduing NPCs?"

"This cheater!"
