86: Two levels in a row!

On the Abyss Border battlefield.

Five figures with exceptionally terrifying auras were engaged in fierce combat.

Three of them were Abyss Demon Kings who had invaded the border, and all of them were combat-oriented Demon Kings.

The other two were Hunter King Wan Feipeng and Gun King Tong Mo.

Two against three.

This was typical of the top-tier confrontations between humans and Abyss Demons; high-level professionals on the battlefield often had to face situations where they were outnumbered.

Because in terms of foundation, the Abyss was truly bottomless! There was no telling how many Demon powerhouses there were!

But there were only ten human Six-Tier professionals.

Moreover, there were no advancement quests after Six-Tier, and no way to advance to Seven-Tier, which limited the strength of the powerhouses.

Yet, even so, Wan and Tong, despite being outnumbered, still held the upper hand!

This was the true strength of humanity's top Transcendent beings!

Wan Feipeng moved like a cyan storm, each blow heavy and powerful, “Heh, and you dare invade my East China border with this?”

Upon hearing this, a green-faced, fanged Demon King opposite him, resembling a hungry ghost, let out a chilling laugh after being struck:

“Jie jiejie…”

“What if you defeat us? Think about your city; it will soon be gone!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Wan Feipeng's expression changed drastically, “Damn it! Lin Yuan City!”

Seeing this, Tong Mo repelled his opponent and quickly turned his head, shouting, “Don't get distracted! He's trying to affect you!”

He was indeed correct. High-level Demons, when fighting, loved to use various factors to disturb their opponent's mentality. This was a conclusion reached by East China a long time ago.

The Demon King opposite him spoke mockingly:

“Your city's signal must have disappeared, right?”

“Think about what would happen if a Demon King encountered the city without you there?”

The three Demon Kings all laughed, clearly, this plan was within their expectations.

And Wan Feipeng was on the verge of exploding in rage.

Because as the City Lord, he indeed couldn't sense Lin Yuan City anymore… Tong Mo quickly reminded him:

“It's too late to go back! Protecting Lin Yuan City is important, and repelling the external enemy is also important!”

Tong Mo also felt a bit guilty, but with three Demon Kings invading the border, defense was mandatory, and as a defending general, he had no choice.

Wan Feipeng glared at the Demon King, gritting his teeth, “You mongrel…”

“If Lin Yuan City is gone, all of you will die today!”

The Demon Kings were still excited. In a top-tier confrontation, when an opponent's emotions are abnormal, it's easy to find a weakness!

If the opportunity is right, it's even possible to seize the weakness and kill them!

The green-faced, fanged Demon King laughed and charged forward, engaging in a head-on confrontation.

However, the next moment, a certain connection in his mind suddenly broke, leaving him a bit dumbfounded:

“What? Mirage… died!?”

How could that be!?

But before he could even think, Wan Feipeng's angry punch accurately smashed into his face, sending the green-faced Demon King flying!

The force of this punch was so terrifying that it distorted the green-faced Demon King's face.

He had originally intended to create a weakness for Wan Feipeng…

As a result, he was the one who revealed a weakness first!

However, it wasn't just him; the other two Demon Kings also sensed Mirage's death, and their expressions changed drastically:

“Impossible… Did they have a backup plan?”

“Damn it! Wan Feipeng! Have you already seen through it?”

Discovering Wan Feipeng's decisive blow, Gun King Tong Mo was also stunned.

He turned his head in surprise and asked, “Were you faking it just now?”

Wan Feipeng was also a bit confused. Although he didn't know who made the move, the outcome was good!

Because he could sense Lin Yuan City's signal again!

He looked up at the three Demon Kings, twisted his neck, and burst into laughter:

“Lin Yuan City is alive! Today, I'll kill all of you to liven things up!”

…

Inside Lin Yuan City.

Feeling the Demon King's aura dissipate instantly, Liu Anran looked at Ye Ze with a somewhat dazed expression: “Did you really kill it?”

Ye Ze nodded.

Not only that, before the Mantis used the Void Killing Eye for the final blow.

His skill, Skill Enhancement – Super, had just finished its cooldown. The original 5-minute cooldown, reduced by 80%, was exactly 1 minute.

He had used Skill Enhancement in advance, enhancing the Mantis's Hunter – Super!

Because he realized that this Demon King must be a formidable enemy!

At the moment of the kill, Ye Ze, Liu Anran, and Luo Yao all flashed with the light of leveling up.

“You have slain Demon King – Mirage, gaining 60,000 experience (+100%)!”

“Ding! Your level has increased to: Level 19!”

“Talent – You have gained two ‘Infinite Gold Attribute’ drawing chances!”

“Hunter – Super – Void Terminator has slain a formidable enemy, four body parts simultaneously gain an evolution!”

When multiple people cooperate to kill, experience is usually divided according to contribution. Without the cooperation of Liu Anran and Luo Yao, this Demon King indeed couldn't have been killed.

So the two of them gained a lot of experience and leveled up directly.

But Ye Ze still got most of the experience, a full 60,000!

Leveled up twice!

And this time, the formidable enemy kill directly evolved four parts of the Mantis!

“Hunter Panel –”

“Arm Blade +5: Strength +100, Damage Coefficient +100%, Critical Rate +100%, Defense Ignore +100%, Skill ‘Annihilation’ Level +5!”

“Compound Eyes +1: Spirit +20…”

“Wings +2: Agility +40…”

“Carapace +1: Constitution +20…”

————

A single wave increased a total of 80 attribute points!

Other effect enhancements were even more powerful, especially after the skill level exceeded the max level; Ye Ze found that each level increase would add an additional 10% damage.

Being able to increase the damage cap was still very good.

Moreover, this time it was also thanks to the Mantis's sufficient damage; otherwise, it would have been impossible to bring a Level 60 Demon King to low health with just the Panda.

Of course, it was also because they were in the city, making it inconvenient for the Demon Dragon and Fox to act, and also inconvenient to use the Ancient Shadow…

The barrier ‘Mirage’ disappeared.

Ye Ze looked at the items that burst out from the location of Mirage's corpse, and his expression immediately changed. He quickly swapped positions with the Panda and went down…

The Level 60 Demon King dropped two legendary pieces of equipment and one epic piece, but they were all Level 60, so he put them away for now.

What truly interested Ye Ze was an unknown item that looked like a pearl fragment…

“Source Fragment – Mirage”

Aside from the name, it was very rare for all other information to be “???”

After possessing the Eye of Insight, he rarely encountered such situations anymore.

And what made Ye Ze most curious was:

Even though Demon King Mirage was as dead as could be, why did it only drop a fragment?

How strange…

However, at this moment, Ye Ze suddenly thought of an unbelievable possibility:

“Could it be that Demon King Mirage was merely an incarnation of a fragment?”

“…”

Outskirts of Lin Yuan City.

Wu Ming and his group rushed into the city. What met their eyes were over a dozen collapsed buildings and battle marks scattered across the streets.

Fortunately, Demon King Mirage's main objective was infiltration, and it only brought a single-digit number of Demons, so the damage caused to the city was within an acceptable range.

“Why can't I sense the Demon King's aura?”

Su Xi, the mentalist in the team, felt strange, and at this moment, someone looked up and exclaimed:

“I see it! The Demon King seems to be over there!”

Everyone looked up in the direction of the shout…

They saw a terrifying Demon Dragon, over a hundred meters long, enveloped in demonic energy and pressure, circling in the sky above the city.

“How did this monster infiltrate the city without being discovered?”

“Because this is a Demon Race summoned beast! You fool!”

But at this moment, seeing a few figures on the Demon Dragon's body, everyone immediately moved to approach!

Soon, the Demon Dragon also descended.

Wu Ming and the others found Ye Ze, Liu Anran, and the others in a street where a deep pit had been smashed.

As the person in charge of the East China Region, Wu Ming finally felt much calmer at this moment…

Fortunately, Ye Ze and his team probably didn't encounter the Demon King.

But as he got closer, when Wu Ming saw the item in Ye Ze's hand, his calm heart began to pound violently again!

“This, this is…!”

Even with just a faint aura, one could sense that this was an item related to a Demon King's power!

“Oh, this is loot dropped by the Demon King.”

As he spoke, Ye Ze silently put the Source Fragment – Mirage into his backpack, “It's mine.”

Wu Ming swallowed hard, and the other accompanying Fifth-Tier powerhouses also showed expressions of shock.

What did he mean by loot dropped by a Demon King?

A Demon King… shouldn't drop items while still alive, right?

Wu Ming spoke with difficulty: “You killed it?”

Hearing this, Ye Ze pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, “And two teammates, Liu Anran and Luo Yao.”

But then, he looked at the collapsed street.

Pointing to the collapsed bun shop, ramen shop, and so on, he quickly waved his hand:

“But these things, they're not my fault, okay…”
