Look me in the eyes!

"Human, tell me!!"

"What is your purpose for coming here?"

A low, raspy voice came from the Fallen City Lord's mouth. Perhaps because he hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice was exceptionally dry, sounding like two rusted iron plates rubbing against each other.

Chen Ming didn't answer his question; instead, he began to check the attribute panel.

..."He's got a few tricks..."

"But not many!"

After reading the Fallen City Lord's specific attribute panel, a faint smile couldn't help but form on Chen Ming's lips.

For other third-tier players, the Fallen City Lord's attribute panel could only be described with one word: ridiculous.

It was simply not something a third-tier player could contend with.

But for Chen Ming, the Fallen City Lord's strength was just average.

He wasn't even as powerful as the two god-tier bosses under his command.

"That's right, my overall strength has long reached an unimaginable level."

"A Level 120 Legendary-Grade boss might be terrifying to others, but before me, he poses no threat at all."

As he muttered softly, a smile appeared at the corner of Chen Ming's mouth.

He was never arrogant, but he would not underestimate his own strength either.

Strong is strong.

Weak is weak.

"Human, answer my question."

Seeing Chen Ming remain silent, the Fallen City Lord let out a cold snort of dissatisfaction.

The surrounding gray mist churned, as if shifting in response to his changing emotions.

The blood-red light in his eyes suddenly flared, and an invisible pressure spread out.

If it were any other third-tier player, they would likely have been trembling uncontrollably under this pressure.

But Chen Ming's expression didn't change at all.

Perhaps because Chen Ming's indifferent expression completely enraged him, the Fallen City Lord suddenly sat up from his throne and spoke murderously.

"Human, who gave you the courage to dare ignore this King!"

"Look into my eyes and answer me!"

The terrifying pressure made the surrounding gray mist churn violently, like boiling water.

The whispering pressure in the surroundings became increasingly dense.

Chen Ming showed no fear, a smile playing on his lips as he looked up to meet the Fallen City Lord's gaze: "You bastard, who gave you the courage to talk to me like that?"

Chen Ming's voice wasn't loud, but his tone was extremely forceful, even momentarily overwhelming the Fallen City Lord in terms of presence.

The Fallen City Lord was stunned for a moment, then laughed out of extreme anger: "Human, I originally intended to keep you as a pet, since it has been a long time since any living creature appeared before this City Lord."

"But now... I grant you death!"

As he spoke, the Fallen City Lord waved his hand, and a surge of black energy condensed in his palm, transforming into a massive gray sword that slashed violently toward Chen Ming.

It was none other than the Fallen City Lord's skill—Power of Corruption.

Power of Corruption Lv18: Condenses the Power of Corruption into various forms of weapons to attack the enemy, dealing Physical Attack Power x 2000% Physical Damage and Magic Attack Power x 1000% Magic Damage.

Cooldown: 3 seconds.

...To be fair, this Power of Corruption skill was indeed somewhat broken.

Not only was the damage off the charts, but the cooldown was frighteningly low at only 3 seconds.

Unfortunately, the opponent he was facing right now was Chen Ming.

"Pfft!!"

Chen Ming let out a sneer.

In the next moment, an energy vortex emerged in front of him.

Immediately after, the figures of the Nine Spirit Primordial Sage and the Lord of the Demonic Abyss stepped out of the energy vortex together.

Boom, boom!!

The massive sword manifested from the Power of Corruption was easily blocked by the two god-tier bosses.

"Kill him!"

"Yes, Master."

At Chen Ming's command, the Nine Spirit Primordial Sage and the Lord of the Demonic Abyss both transformed into streaks of light and charged at the Fallen City Lord almost simultaneously.

"God-tier bosses?"

"Damn it, how is this possible?"

"How could beings of such a level choose to submit to a weak human?"

The Fallen City Lord's face was full of disbelief.

However, it was destined that no one would answer his confusion.

The Nine Spirit Primordial Sage and the Lord of the Demonic Abyss moved like lightning, reaching the Fallen City Lord in less than the blink of an eye.

The two sides immediately clashed in battle.

In terms of rank, both the Nine Spirit Primordial Sage and the Lord of the Demonic Abyss crushed the Fallen City Lord, but the Fallen City Lord was Level 120 after all, giving him a 40-level suppression. Furthermore, being within the City of Corruption provided him with extra bonuses.

For a moment, the two sides were locked in a stalemate.

Seeing this, Chen Ming didn't waste any words and decisively pulled the string of the Equinox bow.

Swish, swish, swish!!

Accompanied by a violent whistling sound, a dense shower of arrows shot out.

-57.12 million (Poison Damage).

-30,000 (true damage).

-3,000 (true damage)... A dense cluster of white true damage numbers floated up from above the Fallen City Lord's head.

The Fallen City Lord's Physical/Magic Defense was as high as 200,000 points.

With just basic attacks, even Chen Ming couldn't break through his defense.

But the Fallen City Lord couldn't withstand the sheer amount of true damage attached to Chen Ming's attacks.

Add to that the poison damage from the Source of All Evil.

In just the blink of an eye, the Fallen City Lord's health bar dropped by about ninety million.

Nearly 100 million damage per second.

Seeing this, a smile couldn't help but appear on Chen Ming's face.

Even if you, Fallen City Lord, have a health bar as high as 350 billion, you can't withstand such terrifying damage.

Besides, the Nine Spirit Primordial Sage and the Lord of the Demonic Abyss were also dealing continuous damage.

"Continue!"

Chen Ming didn't waste any words and continued to pull the bowstring.

349 billion... 340 billion... 320 billion... As time slowly passed, the Fallen City Lord's health bar began to drop rapidly at a visible rate.

And just then... "Damned human, to provoke my majesty."

"I will certainly make you pay the price."

Adhering to the principle of capturing the leader to defeat the followers, the Fallen City Lord let out a roar and suddenly exerted force, breaking free from the restraints of the Nine Spirit Primordial Sage and the Lord of the Demonic Abyss to charge toward Chen Ming!
