Chapter 257 - 257 Shifting The Target
257 Shifting The Target
The Beast King, Death God Black Wing, did not care if these players were in cahoots.
It once again brandished its pitch-black scythe and swung it in the direction of Ling Yi and the woman.
After Ling Yi and the Ice Queen dodged, another dark green demonic wind appeared out of thin air and blew on everyone’s bodies.
[You have been affected by the “Power of the Death God”. The recovery of your life force is prohibited.]
A notification flashed in front of him.
Ling Yi wasn’t surprised. Before he came, he had already read up on the Beast King’s Skills on the forum.
[Power of the Death God (8 Stars) (Passive)]: Targets hit by the user will be unable to recover their life force. After being killed by the user, the user can not be resurrected through Skills or items.
This was a Beast King that could kill him!
“Master.”
After another dodge, the Ice Queen arrived beside Ling Yi and waited for her next order.
Although she could read her master’s mind, the two of them were still used to talking.
“Wait. Don’t do it yet.”
Ling Yi shot a glance at the players who were flying over from afar. He pulled the Ice Queen’s hand and retreated a distance.
Due to the effect of her talent [Summon Divine Power], the Ice Queen no longer had to pay a price for using her Skills.
This meant that her ‘Queen’ form could enter and exit at any time. No matter how long she maintained it, she would never enter the icy slumber again.
The crowd that came from afar was divided into two groups. On the left were Divine Union players such as Nangong Li and Zhou Ziwen, while on the right were players from other countries led by Aslan.
The two parties arrived almost at the same time.
As expected, 01 is challenging the Beast King!
“Are you trying to defeat the Beast King before it is strengthened? That’s a good idea.”
“What should we do? Help 01 deal with the Beast King or help the Beast King deal with 01?”
As Aslan discussed with his people, Nangong Li quickly flew in front of Ling Yi and asked with a serious expression, “You want to kill the Beast King now, right?”
“Mm…”
Ling Yi arranged his words and replied, “Strictly speaking, I just want to try. I’ll kill it if I can, and if I can’t, I can’t. It doesn’t matter. I’ll be able to kill it sooner or later anyway.”
The Divine Union’s Black Tortoise envoy, Zhou Ziwen, who was a middle-aged man with a refined face and a pair of black-framed glasses, flashed over, catching the tail end of the conversation.
After hearing 01’s words, he suggested, “Since you don’t have to, I suggest that we don’t deal with the Beast King for the time being. Instead, we should deal with those people first.”
He pointed at the Aslan group in the distance and added, “Otherwise, when we fight later, they will definitely stab us in the back.”
Looking in Zhou Ziwen’s direction, he could clearly see the group of people in the distance whispering to each other.
Through [Aeolus’ Call], Ling Yi could hear their conversation clearly.
Someone with purple, lightning-like hair said, “Of course, we’re here to help the Beast King deal with 01. The Beast King is right there. We can fight the Beast King whenever we want, but there won’t be many chances to deal with 01.”
“That’s right, who wouldn’t want the two divine artifacts he has!”
A blonde guy pipped in, ” 01’s rise has to be stopped. If we can kill him here, we can all become famous people or even heroes in our countries!”
“Alright, ” Aslan said. “It’s decided then.”
The group of people flew over after their discussion.
Nangong Li and Zhou Ziwen were still standing in front of Ling Yi, waiting for him to make a decision.
“Alright,” he said.
Ling Yi nodded and changed his target. “Then let’s kill them first.”
“But there’s still a Beast King here. It’s not easy to fight. Let’s leave this place first.”
“Yes.” Nangong Li and Zhou Ziwen nodded.
Ling Yi told Lin Shurou to cancel the [Invisible Barrier] and hugged her. The group of them then retreated.
The Beast King, Death God Black Wing, was still floating in the same place. Its dark purple eyes watched the backs of the three people leaving, but it did not pursue them.
As Ling Yi and Ice Queen had yet to attack it, the battle between the two of them had yet to begin. The Beast King would allow the enemy to retreat.
And not far away…
Seeing that 01 and the others had retreated, Aslan and the others who were rushing over stopped in their tracks and shouted from afar, “01! Why are you guys running! Let’s fight the Beast King together!”
“Yup! As long as we work together, we’ll definitely be able to kill the Beast King!”
Nangong Li was afraid that Ling Yi would be bewitched, so she quickly turned around and said to him, “Don’t be fooled, they definitely don’t have good intentions.”
“Don’t worry.” Ling Yi grinned. He had heard their conversation a few moments ago.
They did not stop because of this, but continued to fly away.
In the sky, Death God Black Wing also heard the voices of another group of players. Although it could not speak, it could still understand the players’ language.
In the next moment, Death God Black Wing raised its huge black scythe high and then swung it down heavily.
RUMBLE!
A loud explosion came from behind them. Ling Yi and the others stopped in their tracks and looked back. They saw that there was a cloud of dust that was hundreds of meters high.
“This…” Nangong Li frowned slightly.
However, Aslan and the rest would not be killed so easily. One by one, the players flew out from the smoke and dust.
“Let’s go. We need to stay a little further away.”
Ling Yi glanced at them nonchalantly before flying off into the distance again.
About half a minute later.
The group of people stopped at the 13th checkpoint of the main road on the Magma Plateau.
The terrain here was open, and there was no aura of life within a 100-kilometer radius. It was very suitable as a battlefield.
Very quickly, Aslan and the rest caught up with them.
Seeing the Divine Union members, led by Nangong Li and Zhou Ziwen, waiting there, Aslan frowned slightly. He immediately widened his eyes and said in shock, “Don’t tell me you guys want to fight us here?”
“Is there any meaning to it?”
Nangong Li and Zhou Ziwen looked at Ling Yi.
Ling Yi put Lin Shurou down and flew to the front of the crowd. He crossed his arms and said seriously, “If I don’t destroy you, I, the Beast King, can’t fight.”
“What!”
Aslan was stunned, and immediately explained, “We’re good people! We won’t get in your way!”
Ling Yi took out the Bell of Truth and held it in his hand. “I dare you to repeat that.”
Looking at the bell in 01’s hand, although there were some slight differences, Aslan and the rest could easily recognize that it was the Truth Bell.
It has the ability to ring when someone is lying.
Aslan was stunned for a while before sighing helplessly, looking speechless.
“You’re no fun.” He said.
“I’m just asking everyone to be honest.”
“Lies can make the world a better place.”
“But that also depends on the occasion.”
“Isn’t that the case now?”
Aslan spread his hands and continued, “Right now, we’re all doing different things—”
“Enough nonsense.”
“Tell me, do you want to kill me while I’m fighting the Beast King?” Ling Yi interrupted him.
Aslan opened his mouth and closed his eyes, then spat out two words, “I don’t want to.”
Ding ling ling-
The Bell of Truth rang as expected.
“Very good, very good.” Aslan clapped his hands, opened his arms, and said, “I’ve laid my cards on the table. We do want to kill you. We can’t wait to kill you and take your divine artifacts. We want to kill till’ you go back to level 0!”
“Then stop talking nonsense and start fighting.”
Ling Yi extended his hand, and a ball of wind appeared in his palm.
Seeing this, Aslan raised his head and laughed. “Come at me!”
