North of Dragon City.
Black Dragon Research Institute.
Boom!
A loud bang sounded!
A steel table made of an alloy actually broke into pieces with just one slap.
“What! All three team leaders have perished, and the three teams’ members have been all captured?” Doctor Ghost angrily glared at the scout—who was kneeling in front of him and trembling—with his eyes wide open and a deadly gaze.
“That’s... that’s right. The three team leaders resisted with all their might and even used the Legend-grade energy cannon you built. But they were still killed by one sword slash and turned into powder in the end. Even the energy cannon was cut into half and completely shattered.”
“That man... he’s too strong!” The scout’s eyes were filled with terror as his body trembled uncontrollably.
Nobody would’ve ever expected that the combined might of the three Stage Three team leaders and the Legend-grade weapon was still not enough to defeat the enemy. No, they were killed instead.
That scene was really terrifying.
“That person... Who exactly is he?” Doctor Ghost let out a rough breath, his heart filled with anger. He never thought that the three teams—which he meticulously planned and built—would actually be destroyed by a single person.
“His name is Link... Originally a student in Dragon City No.1 Middle School...” explained the scout. They had already checked Link’s identity, and the result made them even more shocked.
A student with no background and support actually gained such strength?
“Link...” Doctor Ghost’s tone was ice-cold, as were his eyes.
Ever since the apocalypse descended, and Doctor Ghost awakened the Myth-grade crafting skill—thereby obtaining a Myth-grade Craftsman profession—his status was unshakable.
The troops he built were filled with elites, who were well-equipped and had great combat prowess.
With the four team’s combined strength, they were enough to destroy most of the other forces and dominate Dragon City. Even the Undead creatures couldn’t affect them.
This caused Doctor Ghost’s wild ambitions to soar rapidly. He had intended to use this opportunity to take over Dragon City once and for all and build a glorious base that solely belonged to him, Doctor Ghost.
But his plans were all destroyed now. The four groups were practically wiped out completely, causing his original plans to be greatly affected.
“We can’t give up on the Undead. That’s our hope for turning the tables around,” said Doctor Ghost solemnly. He knew how important the City of the Undead was as a strategic location.
In this chaotic world, having control of the City of the Undead was akin to having a source of endless powerful beings.
This fact alone prevented Doctor Ghost from giving up.
The scout hesitated for a while and said, “Doctor, there’s another matter. According to our scouts, Link and his people are busily looking for construction materials. They seem to be building a city...”
The scout wasn’t sure if this was true or not.
It should be known that building a city wasn’t an easy task. All the required conditions had to be met to achieve this goal. Also, each of these conditions required extremely rare things. Even the Black Dragon Gang, which had a lot of resources, didn’t have the capability of building a city.
Just the City Building Token was extremely hard to find.
Even with the Black Dragon Gang’s monster kill rate, they hadn’t seen a single trace of a City Building Token yet.
It should be known that the only method to live peacefully in this apocalyptic world was to build a home city. This was something the Black Dragon Gang dreamed of doing, but it was still too far from their reach.
“Hm?” Upon hearing this, Doctor Ghost’s heart trembled! “What? They’re building a city? Could it be that this kid has a City Building Token?”
Doctor Ghost was shocked. He never expected that something his Black Dragon Gang could only dream of having would actually be in Link’s hand now.
By now, Doctor Ghost was certain that Link definitely possessed a City Building Token. If not, nobody would be silly enough to waste time building a city now. The manpower, material, and financial resources consumed to construct a city were too high to imagine.
Doctor Ghost humphed coldly and said in disdain, “This kid is seeking death. There are only four days left until the monster siege. No matter how fast they are, it’s impossible to build a city before then.”
Being a Myth-grade Craftsman, he was very clear about how difficult it was to build a city.
“Spread news of this out. Let the other factions in Dragon City step in. World Society, Thunder Palace, Monopoly... We mustn’t let these people sit idle.”
Doctor Ghost smiled coldly, having thought of a plan in his mind.
From the looks of the current situation, Link and his group’s combat power is quite high. They definitely aren’t easy to deal with.
By spreading this news out to the other factions, they will exhaust Link and his group’s strength first. Then, my Black Dragon Gang can take the opportunity to snatch the City Building Token. With the City Building Token to tempt them, I believe that none of the other factions will be able to resist their desire!
Doctor Ghost was confident that he could make the other factions fight Link and his group first before reaping the benefits. Hence, becoming the final winner.
“Yes!” After hearing this, the scout was inspired and full of enthusiasm.
“Also, urge Black Dragon’s side to take action as soon as possible. We no longer have time to wait,” Doctor Ghost commanded the scout again, his tone solemn, and the light in his eyes flashing.
“The preparations on the Clan Leader’s side are almost done.” The scout nodded. Black Dragon was the Black Dragon Gang’s leader. His status was higher than even that of Doctor Ghost.
“That’s good. The show is about to start!” Doctor Ghost turned his gaze towards the window.
Momentarily, a big conspiracy was brewing in Dragon City.
...
The City of the Undead.
At this moment, Link had entered the Sin Realm’s seventh level again.
In front of him, a figure had appeared. It was an old man dressed in a green robe, looking very celestial-like. He held a shiny sword as he stood there quietly; the entire space seemed to be filled by a sea of sword intent.
This old man was like a peerless swordsman. His sword intent pierced toward the sky as if it were going to pierce a hole in the sky.
“This is a master-class being!” Link’s eyes focused. Even though he was just standing and facing the old man alone, the sharp sword energy already seemed to be stabbing him.
This old man’s aura was extremely violent and intense, way stronger than that of the Deathbone Swordsman Link previously faced.
As expected of the City of the Undead. It even preserved the image of such a powerful being.
At this moment, this old man’s information appeared in Link’s mind.
Name: Li Chunqiu
Race: Human
Profession: Spring and Autumn Sword Immortal (Super God)
Upon seeing this information, Link’s heart trembled! This is actually the Spring and Autumn Sword Immortal, Li Chunqiu?
Link had heard of Li Chunqiu’s name before in his previous life.
In his previous life, the apocalyptic calamity descended.
All of the Scourge’s forces surrounded the Human Alliance’s five home cities. It was a crisis for the human race.
Even though the top factions in the five home cities had used all of their strength to battle, it was still not enough to resolve this crisis.
When the city gates were about to be broken through, and a mass killing was about to happen...
Just at this moment, a peerless immortal appeared. This person claimed that he was the Spring and Autumn Sword Immortal’s successor.
This person was a Myth-grade swordsman. With his Spring and Autumn Sword Technique, he battled against the Scourge’s three Demon Lords, causing the Scourge to be unable to proceed by even one step further.
Due to this person’s appearance—who delayed for time—other top-notch powerful beings successfully rushed back from outside to defend the home cities.
If not, the humans in the apocalypse’s later stages would have already been wiped out.
At this moment, Link never thought that he would actually see the Spring and Autumn Sword Technique’s creator in Sin Realm. This person was an ancestor-level existence.
It looks like history’s peerless existences have all stepped foot into the Sin Realm before and left their trial images behind.
