148: Why is Master Gao so fleshy?

"So it was you brat who dared to bully our Heaven-Blasting Gang!"

Duan Heng drew a blade and pointed it straight at Lin Yue.

"No, it wasn't him. It was the woman next to him."

A lackey nearby hurriedly explained that it was Cai Wenji who had made the move.

"Get lost!"

"It doesn't matter who did it; they're together anyway!"

Duan Heng sized up Lin Yue carefully and found that the other party had hidden their information.

Since the woman was already so powerful, she had to be an expert on the leaderboard.

He had never heard of any two top-tier experts being a couple, so the man was definitely a weakling.

Besides, with so many people on his side, as long as they weren't the top few on the leaderboard, there wouldn't be a problem.

Especially the White Emperor and Feng Yun's Young Master Leng—those two were not to be trifled with.

However, the two in front of him clearly weren't them, so he naturally became unscrupulous.

"Brothers, charge with me!"

Cao Heng shoved aside the lackey next to him and led the guild members in a charge.

"Master, shall we take action?"

Watching the Heaven-Blasting Gang charging toward them, Cai Wenji asked.

"Just watch. We're in a hurry!"

Duan Heng only saw a dark cloud suddenly appear in the sky, followed by a torrential downpour of thunder and rain.

-1,000,000!

-1,000,000!

Duan Heng, who was charging at the very front, only saw these two numbers before he turned into white light and vanished.

It wasn't because he could withstand an attack, but because two people had charged ahead of him.

"The... the Guild Leader is dead!"

"This is impossible! The Guild Leader has already reached level 35. Even an expert on the leaderboard shouldn't be able to one-shot him!"

"The Guild Leader has 200,000 health! How could he be one-shot?"

"How can there be such terrifying damage? It's even more terrifying than that woman's!"

"We've really hit a steel wall this time. The Heaven-Blasting Gang is finished!"

Seeing this, the other guild members instantly lost their morale.

Even their strongest, most fearsome Guild Leader was one-shot by the opponent; what did they even count for?

"Damn it, he looks like a mage. High damage means low health for sure. Let's one-shot him together!"

"Exactly! Don't run! With so many of us, we can one-shot him together!"

"Avenge the Guild Leader! Yes, avenge the Guild Leader!"

All the remaining members of the Heaven-Blasting Gang mustered their last bit of strength and launched a final strike at Lin Yue.

-1!

-1!

Seeing that their attacks only dealt a single point of forced damage to Lin Yue, everyone fell into deep despair.

"How is this possible? How is this possible?!"

"Isn't he a high-damage mage? Why is he so tanky?!"

"Is it a skill, or are his dual resistances so high that we can only deal one point of damage?"

"This is goddamn forced damage, which means our attacks aren't doing anything at all!"

"How can someone be such a freak!"

Within the Heaven-Blasting Gang, some still refused to believe it, thinking it was a skill effect.

Several assassins glanced at each other, instantly boosted their speed, and lunged toward Lin Yue to assassinate him.

Lin Yue's movement speed had already reached 110. He could have easily dodged, but there was simply no need.

He didn't launch an attack immediately either; he wanted them to experience true despair.

In an instant, several attacks from all directions landed on Lin Yue.

The assassins revealed triumphant smiles, but before they could even laugh, they froze.

-1

-1

...The consecutive damage numbers made them realize their mistake.

And what awaited them was the same fate as their Guild Leader, Duan Heng.

Thunder Punishment!

-1,000,000

-1,000,000

...In just an instant, the assassins were killed on the spot by Lin Yue's Thunder Punishment.

"It's the White Emperor! He's the White Emperor!"

Finally, a member of the Heaven-Blasting Gang thought of the White Emperor.

Only this legendary figure, whose popularity had soared since the server opened and who held the number one spot on the leaderboard, could possess such formidable strength.

They never imagined that Cao Xuan of the Sky-Slayer Gang had actually provoked the White Emperor!

The White Emperor hadn't come looking for trouble with them, yet they had come to besiege him instead.

This was simply like carrying a lantern into a latrine—seeking death!

But they realized it a bit too late as bolts of lightning were already striking toward them.

In an instant, they turned into white light and vanished... Although the battle lasted only a short time, it was still noticed, and it just so happened that some members of the Feng Yun Guild were among the observers.

"Someone actually dared to stop the White Emperor!"

The members of the Feng Yun Guild immediately notified the people of White Jade Capital about this news.

"Someone dared to block the Guild Leader? They must be tired of living!"

The members of White Jade Capital immediately reported the matter, and it soon reached Yun Ruoqing.

As the Vice Guild Leader, Yun Ruoqing quickly notified the other high-ranking members of White Jade Capital.

"Do you remember the first rule of our guild?"

"The first rule: if one person is in trouble, the whole guild mobilizes!"

"Good. Ink Feather, take some people and go there!"

In just a short while, Ink Feather led a grand procession of six thousand people from White Jade Capital toward the Heaven-Blasting Gang.

Outside the Heaven-Blasting Gang's base, there was a sea of people; anyone could tell they were there for the Heaven-Blasting Gang.

Before taking action, Yun Ruoqing sent a message to Lin Yue.

"Guild Leader, we've surrounded the Heaven-Blasting Gang. Any instructions?"

"If you're going to do it, do it cleanly and efficiently!"

"Understood!"

Inside the Heaven-Blasting Gang, Duan Heng was grabbing Cao Xuan and berating him.

"You [censored], have you lost your mind? Why the hell did you provoke the White Emperor!"

Duan Heng already knew the opponent was the White Emperor, the top-ranked player and a legendary figure in the Land of the Final End.

Although Duan Heng wasn't too bad in the game, how could he compare to a top-tier player like the White Emperor?

Forget the White Emperor—even a random high-level player wasn't someone Duan Heng could afford to provoke.

"I... it's not like I told you to go!"

Cao Xuan's legs had gone weak from fear; if he had known, he wouldn't have gone either.

The White Emperor had hidden his information, so he thought he was just an ordinary player.

"Boss, Boss! This is bad! A huge crowd has arrived outside. They look like they're from White Jade Capital and Feng Yun!"

Hearing this, Duan Heng let go and slumped powerlessly to the ground.

It's over. It's all over!

Looking at the guild he had painstakingly built up, Duan Heng knew he was definitely finished this time.

Before Duan Heng could react, people had already burst in.

"Who's named Duan Heng? Get the hell out here!"

Ink Feather charged in at the front and stepped right on Duan Heng's face.

Duan Heng kept slapping at Ink Feather's leg, trying to speak, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Seeing this, Cao Xuan hurriedly and timidly crawled to the side, terrified of being noticed.

"Didn't you hear me?"

"Call out your Guild Leader, Duan Heng!"

A nearby member of the Heaven-Blasting Gang pointed at Ink Feather's feet; only then did Ink Feather realize he was stepping on someone.

"Oh, so you're the one called Duan Heng!"
