161: Limit-breaking weapons, stunned crowd!

The sudden death of the Sakura Country samurai caught everyone present off guard.

Even the veterans, at first, only wanted to scare off these Sakura Country people; they hadn't intended to directly attack.

But Xia Qi, on the other hand, killed the man without saying a word.

"Baka, you actually killed Taozhizhu!"

"This is bad. Taozhizhu is the son of a samurai. If he dies, none of us will survive when we go back."

"This idiot, why did he provoke him for no reason? Now that he's dead, it's really troublesome."

"Stop talking nonsense, attack!"

Several professionals from Sakura Country instantly became enraged, drawing their weapons and charging at Xia Qi.

Was it really necessary to kill someone just for a few taunts?

Now that the person was dead, they couldn't explain themselves, so they naturally had to deal with Xia Qi.

But they forgot one thing: the terrifying extent of Xia Qi's strength, which allowed him to silently kill Taozhizhu, was beyond their comprehension.

"After the attribute bonus increased, my swordsmanship became much more fluid."

Xia Qi paid no attention to the Sakura Country people, instead focusing on the Dragonman Spear in his hand.

"Be careful, these Sakura Country soldiers are quite strong."

The Nine-Star veteran spoke a reminder, and just as he was about to rush forward to help Xia Qi, before he could act, Xia Qi's figure vanished again.

"Where did he go?"

"Where did that Dragon Country man go just now?"

The Sakura Country soldiers were greatly alarmed. They were surprised to find that they couldn't locate Xia Qi's trace at all.

Just as they felt a sense of fear and were preparing to retreat, a faint blue thin line instantly appeared on their necks.

This line was like the dance trace left by a gracefully dancing butterfly, passing through several Sakura Country professionals.

Pfft!

Blood gushed out like a fountain. They all clutched their necks, wanting to shout for help.

But they found they couldn't speak at all. A large amount of air rushed into their severed windpipes, making gurgling and whimpering sounds.

This phenomenon lasted for several seconds. Everyone present silently watched as the Sakura Country people's blood sprayed everywhere, and they ultimately died.

Xia Qi reappeared, his golden-glowing longsword unsullied by a single drop of blood.

He had been impulsive just now and hadn't directly severed their necks. Compared to letting them die painlessly, tormenting them for a bit before a slow death seemed more interesting.

Although this thought was a bit twisted, what's wrong with being a bit twisted when dealing with Sakura Country people?

"Little brother, you..."

The veteran opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but the words caught in his throat.

Was he supposed to say not to kill the Sakura Country people?

He thought that sounded pretty ridiculous.

After thinking for a moment, he finally gave an awkward smile, "I misjudged you earlier. Your strength is unfathomable, no wonder you entered the Infernal Level alone just now."

Xia Qi smiled slightly, pointing his sword tip at the corpses on the ground, "This shouldn't cause any trouble, right? Like attracting monsters."

"It's fine, we have experience with this."

The veteran's teammate quickly stepped forward, pulled out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, and poured some powder onto the corpses, not even sparing the blood on the ground.

Soon, a sizzling sound rang out, and a puff of green smoke rose from the corpses. All traces were completely removed.

"Corpse-dissolving powder, to prevent monsters from smelling human blood and gathering."

"Good stuff. I'll buy some later."

Xia Qi nodded. This stuff was essential for the wilderness; having it made things much more convenient.

"Why buy it when I can give you a few bottles?"

Saying that, the person took out a few more porcelain bottles and handed them to Xia Qi.

Seeing this, Xia Qi didn't stand on ceremony with them and directly accepted them.

It saved him the trouble of running around to buy them.

However, Xia Qi wasn't one to take advantage of others. After thinking for a moment, he took out a piece of equipment he no longer used and casually tossed it to the veteran.

"Consider this a trade."

After speaking, he returned to the vortex entrance, selected the nightmare difficulty Dragonkin Camp, and after using a Rune Reset Stone to reset the cooldown, he entered the dungeon again.

He hadn't finished collecting the Materials General Hu had assigned him, so he had to farm it one or two more times.

After Xia Qi disappeared, the veteran finally came to his senses.

He looked at the golden equipment in his hand, and upon seeing it, he directly exclaimed, "Holy hell!"

"Infernal Level golden equipment!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around was attracted by the sound and gathered to look.

【Dragonman Spear (Golden Rank): Strength +500, Physique +200, Spear-type professional skill power increased by 30%, usable at Rank 28 and above.】

Such terrifying attribute boosts and bonuses directly dazzled everyone's eyes.

"This... isn't this the limit-breaking golden equipment that's priceless in the outpost exchange?"

"This must be dropped from a Infernal Level dungeon. And he just gave it away?"

"Damn it, if this weapon were put on the exchange, it could sell for a sky-high price. It's too good!"

"My goodness, could it be that he really cleared the Infernal Level dungeon?"

"I think it's possible. That one move to instantly kill the Sakura Country people just now was incredibly cool!"

"The more I think about it, the more terrifying it is. This young man's strength is simply too frightening."

The more the people present talked, the more alarmed they became, and at the same time, they felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, Xia Qi was from Dragon Country. If he were a soldier from another country, the Dragon Country people in this Dragon Battlefield would probably have a really hard time.

On the surface, various countries coexisted peacefully and cooperated to resist external monster enemies.

But no matter where, overt and covert struggles at the national level were indispensable.

Just like Dragon Country and Sakura Country were at odds, similar situations existed with Lighthouse Country, Polar Bear Country, and so on.

Inside the dungeon.

Xia Qi reappeared on the hillside.

Compared to the Infernal Level, the oppressive feeling in the nightmare difficulty Dragonkin Camp was much less.

Although the Qi was much stronger than in a normal dungeon, the overall feeling was much lighter.

Xia Qi looked at the camp down the mountain, estimating that the difficulty was similar to the Fallen Land.

【Dragonman Patrol (Enhanced Elite Monster)】

【Rank: 33】

【Strength: 1500】

【Agility: 1200】

【Intelligence: 500】

【Physique: 1200】

【Skill: Whirlwind Slash】

After casting a detection spell on a monster ahead, Xia Qi found that the strength of the same monster had decreased significantly.

Of course, this was only relative to Xia Qi himself; the strength of the regular monsters had almost halved.

While it might be very difficult for other professional teams, for the current Xia Qi, it was incredibly easy.

Even without the bonus from the golden limit-breaking equipment, Xia Qi could easily clear the nightmare difficulty based on his own base attributes.

"I hope more Materials drop, so I can go check out other Infernal Level dungeons."

His eyes moved slightly, and a gentle breeze Entanglemented around Xia Qi. His speed instantly erupted, and he vanished from his original spot.
