Chapter 73

From the moment the player from the back row launched an attack, the entire swamp was thrown into chaos, with various skill sound effects and shouts mingling together—

"Damn, you little punk, ambushing me! Jealous of my level 30 silver weapon? Want it? Come and get it with your life!!"

"Damn, it's a friendly, it's a friendly! For crying out loud, it's a friendly!!!!"

"Bro, there's a fat guy here, damn, his body is glowing gold!! Take him down!"

Players were always enthusiastic about PK, especially male players, who enjoyed such reckless killing. In such situations, they would become extremely excited, completely disregarding their own safety.

Surviving in such a situation and still managing to loot equipment was incredibly difficult. It had to be said that the assassin had some skills. His face also showed the joy and caution of his success.

Before this, after obtaining a black fragment, he activated the Windrunner's invisibility skill, Swift Stealth, which allowed him to enter invisibility at the fastest speed, increasing his speed by 70% while invisible. This was one of the reasons he could quickly escape after looting the equipment.

He was extremely excited after getting the equipment, though he didn't know what the fragment was. If it could drop from a wild boss, it definitely wasn't something simple. It could fetch him thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins if he sold it. He was going to get rich...

Suppressing his excitement, the Windrunner ran desperately towards the outskirts, constantly dodging various skills and provoking others to avoid drawing attention to himself. As the edge of the battlefield drew closer, the Windrunner began to relax...

"Almost there, great!" the Windrunner thought happily, his speed increasing even more as he activated his skill again.

Looking ahead, the Windrunner's heart sank halfway. No one was blocking his path, it seemed he was safe... Suddenly, he saw a golden rainbow streak flying towards him at incredible speed, leaving no time to react. The direction of the golden rainbow—

Was it targeting him? The Windrunner frowned. Hopefully not...

"Bang!" The golden rainbow struck the Windrunner assassin directly, confirming his guess—it was indeed targeting him!

"What's going on?" the Windrunner exclaimed, his mind still not processing what had happened. He hadn't provoked anyone...

Before he could react, the golden rainbow tightened, and a powerful force pulled the Windrunner assassin up...

"Damn!" The Windrunner's mood plummeted. This was definitely aimed at him...

...

The Gravity Control skill successfully pulled the target. Yang Ye was delighted but didn't dare to stay in place. The skills flying around didn't care who they hit; everyone was targeting whoever they found annoying, and even the Song of the Dragon would be instantly killed. After being hit by a few skills, Yang Ye quickly moved away and found a small, skill-free spot using his Miner's Hat.

During the flight, the Windrunner assassin's mood had shifted from extreme joy to extreme sorrow. He knew that once he landed, he would be instantly killed. As expected—

"Thud!" A dull sound echoed as the Windrunner assassin's body hit the ground. The surrounding players, quick to act, loved to kick a man when he was down. Seeing a fragile Windrunner on the ground, how could they not attack?

Immediately, a barrage of arrows and skills flew towards the Windrunner assassin. His face turned pale, knowing he was doomed. He could only pray that he wouldn't drop the material he had risked his life to obtain...

Not drop? How could that be!

After the lights came on, Yang Ye closely watched the Spirit Ghost Pearl fragment in the Windrunner assassin's backpack. As expected, the moment the Windrunner assassin was killed, a black fragment dropped. The surrounding players, seeing something drop, immediately tried to pick it up. Anyone could pick up items dropped by a player's death. But how could Yang Ye, who had worked hard to pull and kill the Windrunner, let the Spirit Ghost Pearl fragment be taken by others? He swung his blade—

"Royal Slash Style: Flash!"

In a flash, the players who were close and trying to pick up the item were stunned, and Yang Ye, using Royal Slash Style: Flash, accurately stopped above the Spirit Ghost Pearl, picking it up—

[System: You have picked up 1 Spirit Ghost Pearl Fragment]

Got it!

Retreat!

Even with his outstanding equipment, Yang Ye didn't dare to stay and face the overwhelming number of players. Now that he had looted an item, over a dozen players were eyeing him with envy.

"Lilina! Cover me!" Yang Ye shouted.

Lilina, hearing her brother's call, became even more excited. Her tech katana glowed brighter, and the gears spun more wildly. She shouted excitedly, "Lilina... Lilina is coming..."

She swung her tech katana wildly, her powerful attacks instantly killing players with less than 1/4 health. Yang Ye's kill count in the quest kept increasing...

With Lilina's arrival, Yang Ye felt the pressure ease. He scanned the area but didn't see Mo Li, though the kill count kept rising.

"Hehe, you're working hard. I can't fall behind." Yang Ye smiled, tightening his grip on his longsword. "Lilina, don't activate the thrusters unless it's dangerous. Now, follow me and cut through this battlefield!!" He pointed his longsword towards the other end of the battlefield.

"Yay, brother, let's go!" Lilina had been eager to do this.

...

The battle was intense, the entire swamp filled with shouts and the constant white light indicating deaths.

Compared to the number of players when the boss died, the number of Ancient Tree City players on the battlefield had significantly decreased. Many players had left after dying or looting, and the leaders of various guilds and studios had quickly evacuated their members to avoid unnecessary losses, as no one would compensate them for deaths here.

Yang Ye and Mo Li had already regrouped. Together, they had killed 134 players, which translated to 134% experience, plus the quest experience, they had gained a level and a half!

"Keep going?" Mo Li asked. If not for the godly potion from Yang Ye and his own critical hit and life drain, Mo Li would have been downed over ten minutes ago.

"Of course, why not? Leveling up is so hard now, the highest is only level 36. How can we pass up such a good quest for leveling?" Yang Ye said. His attack life drain was even better than Mo Li's, and he had more health.

"Alright, continue. Be careful, it seems some people have recognized you as the Battle of Promise. Damn, I'm afraid they'll gang up on us, which would be a big problem." Mo Li said, but he didn't seem worried at all.

"Who cares, let's kill first!"

"Right, let's go!"

The two agreed and charged back into the crowd. In the midst of the flashing blades and swords, one player after another fell to their attacks. Such astonishing attacks naturally caught the attention of some players, who began asking in the Ancient Tree City regional channel—

[Regional] Tiger's Body Trembled: Is that guy in the Firethroat set, killing everyone, from Rainfall City's Battle of Promise?

[Regional] **Flower Edge: Now that you mention it, he does look a bit like him. There's always a cute girl following him, and that katana looks like Wandering Girl - Lilina?

[Regional] Pure and Cute Little Taro: Damn, it's the Battle of Promise! I was just killed by him, the system showed it was the Battle of Promise. There's no way it's a coincidence, it's definitely him, here's a screenshot!

The screenshot was posted, and the Ancient Tree City players verified it. It was indeed the Battle of Promise. They were all furious—

[Regional] Axe Son: Damn, a Rainfall City player comes to our Ancient Tree City to kill people? What's the meaning of this?

[Regional] Two Books Dao: What else? Mocking us Ancient Tree City players for being easy to bully! Damn, I'm pissed. Who cares if he's the top solo player in China, Ancient Tree City players, aim your weapons at the outsider, kill the Battle of Promise first!!

[Regional] Youth Not Young: Support! No one can bully us in Ancient Tree City except ourselves. Battle of Promise, get out!!

[Regional] Crazy Bad Bird: Ancient Tree City is ours, and we only fight our own civil wars. We only kill our own! Battle of Promise, get out!!

For a moment, the screen was filled with "Battle of Promise, get out!" Being killed by someone from another main city, and so many of them, left all the Ancient Tree City players feeling indignant.

The Ancient Tree City players on the battlefield could also see the information in the regional channel. At first, they didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just an excuse from the newbies who had been killed early. But when it was confirmed to be the Battle of Promise, they all had the same thought: The Battle of Promise is killing us Ancient Tree City players? Damn, we can bully each other, but you can't!

They all stopped attacking, looking around for the Battle of Promise.

Yang Ye and Mo Li were in the midst of their killing spree when they suddenly felt the atmosphere change. The intensity of the attacks seemed to drop. Why did they suddenly stop?

Yang Ye and Mo Li looked at each other, both seeing confusion in the other's eyes.

Looking around, they noticed that the surrounding players were all looking at them with strange expressions. Yang Ye touched his face and asked Mo Li, "Am I handsome?"

Mo Li shook his head, also touching his chin and asking, "Am I handsome?"

Yang Ye shook his head.

Just as they were confused, someone in the crowd shouted, "Damn, the Battle of Promise and his followers are here! Everyone, come and kill them!!"

Yang Ye and Mo Li's faces changed dramatically.

"Damn, Battle of Promise, your face has been exposed!!" Mo Li shouted.

"I damn well know, what are we waiting for!" Yang Ye also shouted.

"Damn, run!!" They both shouted, turning and rushing in a direction with fewer players...
