134: Wang the blacksmith died

According to Xiao Jin, the underground altar crafted by Wang the Blacksmith was actually a cauldron made from fragments of a damaged artifact, with the purpose of refining the ring of resentful souls.

Because of decades of continuous refining and feeding Professionals, the entire underground altar was filled with incredibly powerful resentment.

The Modified Deep Sea Lizard Warriors that Ye Xiao fought earlier, and the Ocean Magic Frogs in Linhai Village, were originally Oceanic Monsters that invaded Linhai Village.

However, after being killed by Wang the Blacksmith, their bodies became carriers of resentment and were resurrected.

Only then did Ye Xiao understand why these Oceanic Monsters' attributes were so exaggeratedly strong.

As for Qi Fei, Vivi, and others, they were humanoid monsters created by Wang the Blacksmith, who, by chance, collected water essence shards from these Oceanic Monsters' bodies and combined them with resentment.

In reality, these people had died long ago; it was the pure energy of the water element essence, combined with resentment, that allowed them to retain their memories from when they were alive.

All of this was told to Ye Xiao by Xiao Jin.

Because Linhai Village was very close to Xiao Jin's territory, this guy, besides sleeping, was usually idle, so he would occasionally use his divine sense to wander around.

Over time, he became perfectly aware of everything that happened in Linhai Village.

However, because his duty was to guard the Dense Forest, and human affairs were none of his business, he was too lazy to interfere.

After learning the truth of everything, Ye Xiao remembered Vivi's diary.

His heart was also filled with deep emotion.

These people were originally just ordinary Professionals, but because they were as unlucky as him and received an impossible promotion quest, they ended up meeting such a fate.

Ye Xiao admired them, and he also felt sympathy.

However, more than that, it was a warning.

It wasn't just them who received the same quest; he did too.

But Ye Xiao believed that he would definitely not end up like them.

Success or failure depended on this moment.

Having been here once, Ye Xiao was quite familiar with the place.

He quickly arrived outside the altar's main gate.

With Xiao Jin's array-breaking ability, the gate couldn't stop him at all.

Pushing it open, Ye Xiao applied three shields to himself, and the Death Domain activated simultaneously.

Then, he activated Divinity Speed and charged straight in.

"It's you! You still dare to come back? You're seeking death!"

As soon as Ye Xiao stepped into the altar, Wang the Blacksmith's voice came through.

Along with it came the terrifying light sphere that Ye Xiao had experienced before.

Already on alert, Ye Xiao dodged it immediately.

Then, Fireballs rained down, indiscriminately blasting towards Wang the Blacksmith.

"Kid! It's that trick again. Wasn't the last lesson enough? This kind of skill is useless against me."

Saying that, Wang the Blacksmith wielded his huge hammer, spinning it wildly.

Ye Xiao's Fireballs were once again absorbed by him.

Ye Xiao was not surprised by this and didn't mind it either.

At this moment, he was following Xiao Jin's instructions, quickly moving to a corner at the bottom of the altar, where there was an inconspicuous black stone.

If one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't notice anything special about it.

However, Xiao Jin's voice also rang out at this moment.

"That's right, there's one here. Destroy it."

Ye Xiao, without a word, continuously unleashed his skills.

Boom!

The black stone cracked in response.

The entire altar suddenly shook violently.

Immediately after, a chilling, eerie wind surged from beneath the black stone, and the temperature inside the altar plummeted.

From the moment Ye Xiao entered and cast Fireball to the moment he destroyed the stone, less than three seconds passed.

As a result, Wang the Blacksmith didn't even have time to react; it wasn't until he heard the stone shatter that his face suddenly changed dramatically.

"You're seeking death!"

In his desperation, Wang the Blacksmith violently swung his hammer at Ye Xiao, and a surge of wild energy instantly struck.

However, this time, Ye Xiao entered in his true body.

His combat power was naturally incomparable to his clone's.

So, even though Wang the Blacksmith's strange skill was extremely terrifying with the altar's enhancement, Ye Xiao still easily dodged it.

"If you have the guts, don't dodge!!!"

However, when Wang the Blacksmith turned to look for Ye Xiao, his pupils contracted violently the next instant, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly shouted.

"Stop!"

Unfortunately, Ye Xiao didn't listen to him. After dodging Wang the Blacksmith's skill, he had already followed Xiao Jin's instructions and found another black stone on the other side.

He destroyed it in the same manner, and the surrounding eerie wind grew thicker.

Even with Ye Xiao's current attributes, he could feel a chill.

Wang the Blacksmith saw Ye Xiao consecutively destroy two black stones, his eyes wide with fury, his liver and guts splitting.

"Are you crazy? Do you know what you're doing? If this continues, both you and I will die here!!!"

Seeing Wang the Blacksmith's reaction, the smile on Ye Xiao's lips grew wider.

"There's one last piece, it's under the altar. That's also where the ring of resentful souls is located, and I can sense that the ring of resentful souls seems to be almost refined. You must stop it quickly, otherwise, I'm afraid you, good person, will be in trouble."

"However, I sensed earlier that there should be an existence even stronger than this Meiya People in there. Good person, you need to be careful."

Listening to Xiao Jin's advice, Ye Xiao nodded.

He did not immediately head to the depths of the altar.

Because, according to Xiao Jin, as long as the two array eyes, which were the two black stones just now, were destroyed first, the altar's amplification power would become ineffective.

This meant that Wang the Blacksmith's combat power would also decrease.

There was still an unknown guy hidden deep within the altar. To avoid trouble, Ye Xiao decided to deal with Wang the Blacksmith first.

To be honest, Wang the Blacksmith's abilities were strange and unpredictable. If he didn't deal with him first, he was really afraid that if the unknown guy and Wang the Blacksmith teamed up, he would become very passive.

Although he didn't know why that guy had been hiding all this time, didn't this just give him the best opportunity to deal with Wang the Blacksmith?

Thinking of this, Ye Xiao suddenly turned and unleashed various skills at Wang the Blacksmith.

After all, he was only a second-turn Professional, and his skills were limited, so his fighting style wasn't fancy; it was just simple and brutal bombardment.

At this moment, Wang the Blacksmith's expression changed for the first time as he watched Ye Xiao continuously unleash skills.

Just as Xiao Jin had said, after the two array eyes were destroyed, Wang the Blacksmith's combat power dropped drastically.

He, who was originally incomparably arrogant, did not use his hammer to neutralize Ye Xiao's barrage of attacks as he had before.

Instead, he chose to flee immediately.

What Ye Xiao didn't expect was that despite Wang the Blacksmith's burly physique, his speed was not slow.

Unfortunately, Ye Xiao's speed was even faster, and in an instant, the entire altar was covered by various elemental energies.

Wang the Blacksmith's health quickly began to drop rapidly.

Seeing this scene, Ye Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

He had originally thought it would be a tough battle, but the result was easier than he had imagined.

At this rate, Wang the Blacksmith would surely die within 30 seconds.

However, just as Ye Xiao was waiting for Wang the Blacksmith's death with a relaxed expression, a black energy filled with bloodlust and ferocity suddenly surged from the depths of the altar.

In an instant, Ye Xiao found that the skills he released felt somewhat sluggish.

And just as Ye Xiao was shocked, Wang the Blacksmith suddenly let out a shrill scream.

"No! You can't do this to me! I've served you wholeheartedly for decades, you can't kill me!"
