CHAPTER 244: CHAPTER 187 DEFENSE COUNTER-COMBAT_3

"Huh!" The shadow was a bit surprised and reached out to point.

Under the incredulous gaze of the Four Seas President, the protective light shield shattered.

At this moment, the Four Seas President couldn’t believe that the senior members of the two major guilds around had collapsed to the ground simultaneously.

Their health bars were completely depleted.

Only a few senior members, each with their own life-saving methods, survived.

The expressions on their faces were incredibly vivid.

The protective Golden Bell of Nine Heavens Sword had just appeared and repelled the invading shadow, only to be shattered by the shadow’s attack.

A mouthful of blood spurted out. Nine Heavens Sword wanted to say something but blacked out and fell to the ground.

The Four Seas President still tried to reach for his chest, but similarly, his vision went black, and he knew nothing more.

"Who am I? Where am I?" The intense headache made him involuntarily shout in pain.

An alarm sounded, and the already prepared medical team immediately stepped forward.

In reality, the Four Seas President, the Nine Heavens President, and other senior members died simultaneously.

This immediately caused a massive upheaval.

The medical team prepared was extremely large, and even senior hospital officials were brought in.

Some were in coma, and some even became vegetable.

Even those barely conscious only retained memories up to the moment before the siege, when the Celestial Net was severed.

"How is this possible? Could it be that we lost?" Those who were conscious, including the Four Seas President, were left dumbfounded, mumbling.

"Impossible! I must have been ambushed."

Forcing himself to endure the pain, he looked towards the subordinates stationed beside him and learned that all the senior members had died.

They died almost simultaneously.

Quickly contact the Nine Heavens Guild.

It was soon learned that Nine Heavens Sword and their situation were the same.

Depending on the use of Spirit Water, their soul injuries had recovered; otherwise, having died not long before, the chance of becoming a vegetable this time was very high.

They swiftly issued various commands.

Each of these senior members had the darkest of expressions.

They breached the rules and could no longer enter the Second World.

The original plan was to rely on the gaming pod to stay online forever, but, but, never did they expect, they unexpectedly died and logged off.

They died and logged off.

No more fate with the Second World.

Meanwhile, in the Second World, within the Ancient Tomb Underground Space, it had become a chaotic scene.

Almost every moment, a hundred players were dying.

One hundred, two hundred, three hundred...!

Chaos had already ensued; players were going crazy en masse.

Here, it was densely packed with players—screaming, fleeing for their lives, cursing, resisting, directly turning into a chaotic mess of curses.

It was natural because the leaders of both sides were wiped out in one go.

The senior members of the two sides were here, with strict protection and guards; among them, a few held on for more than ten seconds.

An acquaintance was among them—back then, Small Knife met the Four Seas President, accompanied by the Supreme Elder.

This person surprisingly broke through to Level 110, reaching Innate, and had considerable power with Innate True Qi, capable of contending with an Immortal Master.

However, here, it was merely an extra few seconds of support.

Because as many as a hundred shadows went berserk.

Hundred Spirits Banner: Middle-grade Magical Artifact: Attribute: Yin, Mana Energy: 80%, Skill: Hundred Ghosts Rampage.

Indeed, it was the Hundred Ghosts Rampage skill.

A special focus on Nine Heavens Sword, while the Four Seas President was targeted by a Spirit Ghost of the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer, the strongest in the Hundred Spirits Banner, once an elder of the Ghost-Exorcising Sect.

Although these senior players had good methods for defense and life-saving, if they knew they were up against a Spirit Ghost of the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer, they wouldn’t die in vain, maybe even smile in the afterlife.

Even if unwilling, they had no choice, right?

There were too many players in this underground tomb; even with hundreds killed per second, they couldn’t be exterminated at once. Some players reached the exit of the hole.

Just about to escape, they fell into despair.

Because at the exit, a Golden Bell was covering it, blocking this sole way out.

Indeed, Small Knife was this ruthless because he was angry.

Very angry.

When others hid inside the Stone Gate, he excavated a small space under the Stone Gate.

Relying on the Four Spirits Seal to isolate inside and outside, for this, he exhausted the strongest Rune in his possession, the Demon Crystal from a Demon Beast, which is Demon Text, forming an isolated small space.

However, because he was in a hurry, if carefully observed, traces could still be found.

Yet, the two major forces evidently had more confidence in their Transcendence methods, giving Small Knife ample time.

Hiding underground, Small Knife naturally first refined the middle-grade magical artifact, Hundred Spirits Banner.

Despite being only First-Layer Qi Cultivation, with different Spirit Root Attributes, ultimately achieved it by not sparing the consumption of Life Essence Blood.

Still, it consumed quite a bit of time.

He even managed to check a previously ignored alert.

Eye of Investigation Alert: Besides a large number of player deaths forming Soul Fragments, weak Soul Power scattered and was absorbed by the Totem Pole Realm, reaching the breakthrough condition and breaking through the Hundred Level bottleneck.

Warning: The Totem Pole has broken through to the Hundred Level; it’s best to choose to stand upright in places like a Spiritual Acupoint, combining with the ground and standing upright, unable to move. Forcing movement will cause the Totem Pole to drop to the Hundred Level.

Tip: Not standing upright, the Hundred-Level Totem Pole cannot continue upgrading.

Eye of Investigation Alert: Besides a large number of player deaths forming Soul Fragments, weak Soul Power scattered and was absorbed by the Totem Pole Realm, reaching the breakthrough condition and breaking through the Level 110 bottleneck.

"Good news indeed." Small Knife’s gloomy mood improved a bit.

Small Knife was wealthy, and a large amount of metal had long been invested, allowing the Totem Pole to rise smoothly to the Hundred Level bottleneck. However, to break through this limit and continue upgrading required a hundred Great Witches to sacrifice their lives, which was naturally impossible.

Who would’ve thought that it suddenly broke through now?

Subsequently, Small Knife restored life in the Golden Bell’s First Realm in the small space, ready for action without hesitation, initiating the only attached skill of the Hundred Spirits Banner.

Hundred Ghosts Rampage.

A hundred ghosts sprung forth from the ground, wiping out the high-ranking enemies above.

Almost simultaneously, the Golden Bell transformed into a beam of golden light, expanding at the entrance to block the only exit.

Outside, there were still many players from the two major guilds.

Unaware of the situation, someone immediately started commanding, organizing everyone to attack the Golden Bell at once.
