87: Chapter 87 There are more experts?!

The Abyssal Ripper, a Level 30 Elite Lord.

It sensed the provocation from the minuscule human, its eyes reflecting the straight golden sword light and the figure following closely behind.

It let out a deafening roar, its massive body displaying an agility incongruous with its size.

Its huge bone blades crossed over its chest, forming a solid barrier, attempting to block this formation-breaking strike.

Boom!

The golden 'Startled Swan' sword light violently collided with the ghastly pale bone blades.

There was no protracted stalemate as imagined.

It was crushing!

The bone blades, capable of splitting mountains and rocks, instantly dissolved and shattered the moment they contacted the sword light.

The sword light's momentum undiminished, fiercely piercing through the Abyssal Ripper's thick breastplate, leaving a massive hole.

"-3999!"

A terrifying damage number floated up above the BOSS's head.

"Roar--!"

The intense pain drove the Abyssal Ripper completely mad. It abandoned all defense, its arms swinging like frantic scythes, smashing down crazily toward Chen You, who was already within striking distance.

However, the 'Chaotic Stars' sword wheel formed by the other yuhuang sword had long since turned the three meters around Chen You into an absolute domain.

Clang, clang, clang, clang!

Amidst the dense sound of clashing metal, those sharp claws capable of tearing steel couldn't even get close to Chen You's clothes before being shredded by the rapidly spinning sword wheel.

"Now is the time!"

Chen You's gaze was as cold as ice.

He had already charged right in front of the BOSS!

Under the protection of the sword wheel, his figure was like a god of slaughter walking amidst the demonic tide, ignoring all of the BOSS's attacks.

He suddenly brought his right sword-finger together and thrust forward!

The 'Startled Swan' sword light that had pierced the BOSS's body exploded, transforming into thousands of slivers of sword energy that rampaged wildly inside its body!

The Abyssal Ripper's massive body stiffened abruptly, and the health bar above its head plummeted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Simultaneously, Chen You glimpsed out of the corner of his eye that several hundred swift little monsters had broken away from the main battlefield.

They were surging toward the west gate wall of White Jade Capital like a black stream.

His heart suddenly sank.

"Damn it, these little monsters actually know how to play smart?"

No, that wasn't it.

These monsters shouldn't possess such high intelligence; this looked more like a system-preset mechanism.

He quickly calculated in his mind.

"At my rate of damage, I can kill this thing in ten seconds at most."

"It will take those little monsters at least thirty seconds to reach the city wall."

"There's still time!"

In a flash of lightning, Chen You made the most decisive judgment.

Slay the BOSS, then return to defend!

"It's over!"

He held nothing back, pouring spiritual power wildly, and the two yuhuang swords shone brightly.

One sword wheel to defend, one sword light to destroy the enemy!

His entire being seemed to merge with the sword light, transforming into a golden storm of death around the Abyssal Ripper.

Every flash left a deep, visible wound on its massive body.

-3820!

-4033!

-3887!

...

The damage numbers were as dense as a waterfall.

The Abyssal Ripper's remaining health was rapidly cleared.

It let out a final roar filled with unwillingness and despair, its massive body crashing to its knees.

Its scarlet eyes stared fixedly at the god-like human before it, and finally, the light scattered, and it completely lost its vitality.

The huge body, like a collapsing mountain, turned into countless specks of black light and dissipated into the air.

[System Notification: You have successfully slain the Elite Lord 'Abyssal Ripper', gaining 100,000 experience points!]

...

Second Command Center.

The moment the Abyssal Ripper collapsed, the entire command hall fell into a dead silence, which was then broken by earth-shattering cheers!

"We won!!"

"He did it! He actually did it!"

Sun Feng excitedly grabbed a colleague next to him, shouting incoherently.

"Single-handedly charged the formation and decapitated the Lord! My God! This is real! This isn't a movie!"

Director Li Guoan stared intently at the screen. When he saw the BOSS dissipate into light particles, his tense body suddenly relaxed, and he almost collapsed onto his chair.

He forced himself to remain upright and punched the desk hard.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Three 'Good's in a row, his voice hoarse, yet filled with indescribable ecstasy and pride.

The crisis was averted!

Huaxia had won the gamble!

Everyone was immersed in the immense joy of surviving a disaster.

However, Chen You on the battlefield showed no sign of relaxing.

The instant he killed the BOSS, he did not pause for even a moment, turning to intercept those few hundred stragglers.

But just as he turned—

Rumble!

The entire Qinling Valley, no, the entire 'White Jade Capital' territory, began to shake violently!

This tremor was far more terrifying than when the Abyssal Ripper first arrived, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting!

The cheers that had just erupted in the command center abruptly stopped.

The smiles on everyone's faces instantly froze, and they stared blankly at the large screen.

"What's happening?"

"An earthquake? No! Energy reading! A spatial energy reading more than ten times stronger than before!"

A piercing alarm sounded throughout the hall once again.

Chen You abruptly stopped his steps, his pupils contracting sharply, staring intently at the spot where the monsters had emerged.

The portal there was vibrating and expanding!

A chilling, ominous, sickly green light seeped out from the portal.

Plop!

Plop!

On the battlefield, all surviving monsters, whether charging or besieging, stopped all movement at this moment.

They turned around and knelt toward the portal, devoutly, fearfully...

Even those hundred or so little monsters nearing the city wall seemed to have the pause button pressed, uniformly turning around and kneeling on the ground.

Chen You's heart sank to the bottom instantly.

"No way..."

His throat felt dry.

The sickly green light grew stronger and stronger, and a giant, slimy green claw covered in pustules reached out from within.

Then, a massive figure so large it induced despair slowly, step by step, squeezed out of the portal.

It was a hundred meters tall, its body constantly writhing with intestinal-like bulges.

On its head, a huge, turbid, evil green-glowing single eye slowly opened.

That gaze crossed a distance of a thousand meters and precisely locked onto Chen You.

[Abyssal Green Water Demon King (Lord-level BOSS)]

[Level: LV35]

[Health: ???]

[Attack: ???]

[Defense: ???]

The string of question marks made Chen You's scalp instantly explode!

This was a creature from an entirely different dimension compared to the Level 30 Elite Lord before!

This was... the true face of the 'Purgatory Level' trial!

"Roar--!!!!"

The Abyssal Green Water Demon King let out a roar unlike any creature should be capable of making.

The sound seemed to act directly on the soul, making Chen You's head buzz, nearly causing him to become dizzy again.

Following its roar, all the kneeling monsters' eyes instantly turned even more scarlet, their bodies vaguely swelled by a circle, and their auras surged!

Simultaneously, an unknown green liquid spread out from beneath the Abyssal Green Water Demon King's feet.

In the blink of an eye, it had spread to the base of the city wall.

"I..."

Before Chen You could react, he felt the surrounding environment spin.

When he could see clearly again, he was already back at the city gate.

Appearing at the same time were the Abyssal Green Water Demon King and countless little monsters.
