47: I'll use you to relieve my pent-up desires sooner or later.

Bang—

Lin Du sent the Mechanical Human flying with a punch.

He then moved his feet, leapt into the air, and pierced the Mechanical Human's head with the silver charm blade.

Crack—

[Kill: Primary Mechanical Human Lv. 14]

[Obtained: experience value +3571, lifespan value +0.85 hours]

[heart of the goddess of luck triggered, reward doubled!]

The strategy for the second level of the Underground Palace was the same as the first.

Ignore the small monsters and head straight for the Big Boss.

Lin Du, holding the silver charm blade, charged into the crowd of Mechanical Humans, carving out a vacuum zone wherever he went!

...Outside the Instance.

Zhao Yunsou stood still, shaking his head in disappointment.

"Sigh! I thought I could recruit a useful player, but who knew this Night Ember not only had a useless Sequence but was also a brainless hothead."

"The Qin Kings Underground Palace isn't one of those miscellaneous small Instances. Night Ember is probably going to lose his life..."

Ning Fengnian, standing nearby, also sighed.

"The difficulty of the Qin Kings Underground Palace Instance is higher than 99% of the Instances on the market. Night Ember awakened the Clown Class; trying to clear it is simply a pipe dream!"

"My father used to think highly of Night Ember. I'm afraid the old man misjudged him this time."

Both of them had personally experienced the Qin Kings Underground Palace Instance and knew how high the difficulty was.

For a player who awakened the Sequence 999 Clown to try and break through the Instance, the difficulty was comparable to reaching the heavens; there was absolutely no possibility... The more Zhao Yunsou thought about it, the more irritated he became, and his expression gradually darkened.

He had originally intended to use the recruitment of Night Ember to alleviate the anger caused by Lin Du, but not only did his anger fail to subside, but his misjudgment also unnecessarily added to his frustration.

Zhao Yunsou had lived for twenty years and had never felt so miserable as he did today.

Everything was going wrong; even drinking cold water felt like it was getting stuck in his teeth!

Zhao Yunsou couldn't stand being there for another moment. He urgently needed to go back and vent his frustration. "Fengnian, you stay here and watch slowly. I'm heading back first."

Zhao Yunsou turned around, ready to leave.

However, the moment he turned around, a stunning, graceful figure in white robes appeared in his line of sight.

The newcomer was as beautiful as a Banished Immortal Maiden from a painting, and Zhao Yunsou's steps abruptly halted.

Ning Fengya was already breathtakingly beautiful, and her traditional attire elevated her aura even further, making her beauty capable of toppling nations and causing calamity... A hint of barely noticeable greed flashed in Zhao Yunsou's eyes.

"Hehe, you stinking woman."

"I'll use you to vent my frustration sooner or later!"

Zhao Yunsou hid the malice on his face and walked toward Ning Fengya with a smile.

"Sister Fengya, you've arrived."

Hearing the words "Sister Fengya," Ning Fengya raised an eyebrow, and an Icy White Longsword shot out like a swimming dragon, resting "shua" against Zhao Yunsou's neck.

"What did you just call me?" Ning Fengya's voice was icy cold.

Zhao Yunsou's breath hitched. He felt a chilling, almost tangible murderous intent emanating from the longsword.

The strength of this killing intent was terrifying, and Zhao Yunsou quickly calmed down.

"Ning Fengya, I was just saying hello. Why the big temper?"

"Drawing your sword isn't appropriate!" Zhao Yunsou said coldly.

Ning Fengya glanced at Zhao Yunsou, completely unmoved.

Seeing this, Zhao Yunsou stopped pretending. He dropped his facade, and a gloomy expression appeared on his face.

"Ning Fengya, are you sure you want to offend the Zhao Family, and offend me, Zhao Yunsou, for the sake of a useless Live-in Son-in-law?"

Ning Fengya's gaze was indifferent. "I am simply targeting you. What does that have to do with the Zhao Family?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunsou's face turned ugly.

"Don't push your luck! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Ning Fengya flicked the longsword in her hand, the tip pressing closer to Zhao Yunsou's throat, and a bloodline as thin as a strand of hair suddenly appeared.

"What, do you want to test me?"

Feeling the sharp pain on his throat, Zhao Yunsou's heart tightened, and he immediately felt three degrees more timid.

"Ning Fengya, you will definitely regret being so reckless!"

"I, this Young Master, will repay today's events twofold!"

Zhao Yunsou was referring not just to the bloodline on his neck, but also the scene earlier today when he was chased out of the Ning Family Villa.

Humiliation, colossal humiliation!

A gentleman does not rest until this grudge is repaid!

Ning Fengya remained expressionless.

"You are welcome to come seek revenge anytime!"

"Also, let me remind you: if you dare to address me improperly again next time, I truly will kill you!"

"I'm leaving."

Ning Fengya elegantly sheathed her sword and walked gracefully toward the entrance of the Bronze Gate... Since the records of the Qin Kings Underground Palace Instance were of great importance, as midnight approached, powerful experts from various major forces gathered in increasing numbers.

Veteran powerhouses like Qilin Immortal Venerable, although not showing up directly, were constantly paying attention to the changes on the rankings.

The rule for the Qin Kings Underground Palace Instance was that each player could only enter once per day.

It was already very late, and no more players were entering.

Players continuously walked out of the Bronze Gate, looking dejected.

Those who could walk out unscathed were the lucky ones; many players had died inside the Instance.

Not only did they lose a life, but their level also plummeted by half!

Although losing a life wasn't fatal, it was enough to make players heartbroken and despair... "What kind of damn Instance is this? Why is the difficulty so high? How is it possible to get past those overwhelming Mechanical Monsters inside!"

"My life! My level that I worked so hard to train!!"

...Inside the Instance.

Relying on his speed advantage, Lin Du shook off the pursuit of thousands of Mechanical Humans and successfully arrived at the Boss area of the second underground level.

In front of the entrance leading to the third underground level, a Mechanical Human holding a Steel Saber stood silently.

The physical structure of this Mechanical Human was far more rigorous and rational than the previous ones; its entire body was filled with a sense of power, showing almost no flaws.

It stood holding the saber, like a Martial Arts Grandmaster, possessing an extraordinary presence!

[Monster]: Mechanical Human Instructor (Lord-level)

[Level]: 14

[Introduction]: The Saber Technique Instructor among the Mechanical Humans, possessing exquisite saber techniques, known as the Strongest Lord-level.

Although both were Lord-level bosses, the Mechanical Human Instructor's aura was significantly stronger than the Mechanical Nine-tailed Scorpion, truly worthy of the title Strongest Lord-level.

Seeing Lin Du appear, the Mechanical Human Instructor slowly raised its head.

Whoosh—

A fierce saber light flashed, and the Mechanical Human Instructor slashed at Lin Du's neck with an unpretentious strike.

When designing the Mechanical Humans originally, Lin Du had programmed them with many elements of Ancient Martial Arts. After long-term self-development by the AI, the combat techniques mastered by the Mechanical Humans were no longer inferior to some Martial Arts Grandmasters.

The Mechanical Human Instructor's strike gave Lin Du the feeling that it was completely flawless!

Although it was flawless, that didn't mean the Mechanical Human Instructor could keep up with Lin Du's speed and strength.

The instant the Fine Steel Saber neared his body, Lin Du tilted his head to dodge the attack. Simultaneously, the speed beneath his feet exploded, and the silver charm blade viciously stabbed toward the Mechanical Human Instructor's heart.

"Die!"

Poof—

Although the Mechanical Human's armor offered top-tier defense, against the silver charm blade at the same level, it still proved vulnerable to a single attack.

After a single strike, the Mechanical Human Instructor lost all signs of life, as if it had been powered down...
