Chapter 6: The Chase Begins! The Girl's Identity Revealed

Returning to the Novice Village, Lin Feng realized the atmosphere was wrong.

Hundreds of players were gathered at the village entrance. Every guild had sent people, and every person wore a ferocious expression.

"Hand it over, Lin Feng!"

"Give us the lost blade!"

"Otherwise, don't think about leaving here alive today!"

Lin Feng watched everything with cold eyes, gripping the lost blade in his hand tightly.

The girl's face turned deathly pale, and she tugged at his sleeve. "They... they are here to snatch the divine artifact..."

"I know," Lin Feng said calmly. "It seems my harvest has made them green with envy."

Suddenly, a tall player wearing golden armor stepped forward, followed by dozens of members from the Longteng Guild.

"Lin Feng, hand over the lost blade, and I might spare your life," the Longteng Guild leader said coldly.

"Spare my life?" Lin Feng laughed. "You?"

"Then don't blame me for being impolite!" The Longteng Guild leader waved his hand. "Brothers, attack!"

Dozens of players swarmed forward, various skills flying, instantly submerging Lin Feng.

"Wild Rage!"

Lin Feng let out a low shout, activating all his buff states, then swung the lost blade.

[lost blade effect triggered: Deals 200% damage to enemies with Dark attributes]

Strangely, these players all carried a faint aura of darkness on them.

[Effect triggered: 30% chance of instant kill]

"Swish—"

With one slash, three players were instantly killed, turning into points of light and dissipating!

The entire scene fell silent.

"What... what kind of weapon is this?!" The Longteng Guild leader's face turned livid.

"The lost blade," Lin Feng sneered. "Used specifically to slaughter you Dark scumbags."

More players rushed up, but Lin Feng didn't care at all. He slaughtered crazily among the crowd, every slash killing several people instantly.

[Congratulations to Lin Feng, defeated players x 50]

[Obtained experience points: 50,000]

[Level increased to Lv.12]

[Obtained title: Novice Village Overlord]

In less than ten minutes, hundreds of players were massacred, leaving only the Longteng Guild leader.

"Who... who exactly are you?" The Longteng Guild leader trembled all over, the hand holding his sword shaking.

"Who I am is not important," Lin Feng stepped closer. "What's important is how your guild is going to be wiped out."

"Don't... don't kill me! I can give you money! Give you equipment! Give you the guild!"

"I don't need it." Lin Feng swung his blade.

[Instant kill!]

The Longteng Guild leader turned into points of light and dissipated; the Longteng Guild was completely wiped out.

Just then, Lin Feng's phone rang.

It was a message from an unknown number:

"Well done, Lin Feng. Your performance has exceeded our expectations."

"Now, it is time to know the truth."

"Come under the old locust tree outside the village. I am waiting for you."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at the girl beside him. "Did you send this message?"

The girl lowered her head, her voice trembling. "It... it was the organization that told me to send it."

"Organization? What organization?"

"The Abyss Administration Bureau." The girl looked up, her eyes full of complex emotions. "We are an agency dedicated to monitoring the Abyss Game, and you... you are the 'Chosen One' we selected."

"Chosen One?" Lin Feng sneered. "This trope again."

"It's not a trope!" the girl said anxiously. "You are the only person who possesses the 'Slaughter Reaper' talent, and you are the only existence capable of opposing the Abyss Master."

"Abyss Master?" Lin Feng recalled the black shadow that awakened in the Abyss Rift. "Are you referring to that thing?"

"Yes," the girl nodded. "It is not an ordinary boss; it is the core of the Abyss Game and the source of all disasters. And your mission is to defeat it."

"Why me?"

"Because... because your talent is the only one that can restrain it," the girl bit her lip. "And, you also have the lost blade."

Lin Feng was silent for a moment, then laughed. "Interesting. So, your organization wants me to act as a hired thug?"

"Not a hired thug!" the girl quickly explained. "We want to cooperate. We will provide you with intelligence, resources, and training, and you will be responsible for defeating the Abyss Master."

"Cooperate?" Lin Feng sneered. "I don't cooperate with anyone. I only believe in my own strength."

"Then... then at least let me follow you," the girl pleaded. "I can help you, I can..."

"Help me with what?" Lin Feng interrupted her. "Monitoring me? Controlling me?"

"No... it's not like that..."

Just then, an explosion suddenly came from the distance.

Lin Feng turned his head to look. On the other side of the village, a group of players wearing black uniforms were slaughtering civilian players.

"That is... the Dark Cult!" The girl's face turned deathly pale. "They have found us!"

"Dark Cult?" Lin Feng gripped the lost blade tightly. "Who are they?"

"A player organization under the Abyss Master!" the girl said urgently. "They specialize in hunting down Chosen Ones like you! Run! If you don't leave now, it will be too late!"

Lin Feng sneered, not retreating, but instead walking forward.

"Run? Why should I run?"

"Are you crazy? There are hundreds of them! And they are all above level 20!"

"So what?" Lin Feng's eyes were full of killing intent. "Perfect, I'll use them to test the true power of the lost blade."

He strode toward the members of the Dark Cult, and the girl could only follow closely behind.
