Chapter 185: Warm Up is over! Opening of the Ruins!

Anyone could see that chaos would break out if Zheng Jinshang successfully activated the formation!

It was likely that he wanted to break through to Stage Six Bright Moon-rank forcibly!

Xue Linglong, Luo Xingyao, and Zhao Yongkang all attacked Zheng Jinshang without hesitation. Brilliant skill light continued to bloom, and several attacks blasted toward him!

But the three of them weren’t Link, after all. Due to the huge difference in their levels, their attacks were all blocked by a blood-colored film of light that suddenly appeared in front of Zheng Jinshang.

Zheng Jinshang waved talismans and chanted incantations non-stop within the film of light, and the formation runes gradually lit up with blood-red light!

Link’s expression remained indifferent. He didn’t give Zheng Jinshang the opportunity to activate the formation or the chance to struggle.

The next moment, silver light glowed from the [Ring of Teleportation] in Link’s hand.

[Instant Teleport] was activated; his figure disappeared from where it was. When he appeared again, he wasn’t far from Zheng Jinshang.

The two of them looked at each other, separated by the blood-colored film of light. Zheng Jinshang’s expression instantly became fearful.

He obviously didn’t expect Link to be able to cross the domain barrier and appear in front of him in the blink of an eye! He was completely caught off-guard!

Zheng Jinshang only felt frightened; his scalp was numb as if he were struck by lightning!

The [King’s Sword] appeared once again, and the sharp blade cut a golden arc in the air!

[Spring and Autumn Sword Technique] activated!

Harsh sword energy surged. A stream of sword glow resembling a long river of sword energy rushed toward Zheng Jinshang.

Cracks instantly began to appear on the blood-colored film of light, which was originally solid as gold. The cracks were like a spider web as they continued to expand!

Zheng Jinshang also quickly responded by throwing out different talismans. These talismans were the same protective talismans that Zhu Changfeng had used earlier. Each one was equivalent to a protective skill and was quite precious.

At this moment, Zheng Jinshang threw them out as if they weren’t worth anything. Four talismans spontaneously combusted one after another; the energy intertwined and turned into four giant shields in front of him, layer after layer!

But at this moment, the [King’s Sword]’s aura suddenly changed, swirling out a death aura! Black power of death converged on the blade; it was the power of silence that all beings feared!

[Death Judgment]!

The sky darkened in a matter of moments, and a vast and great figure seemed to have emerged behind Link!

The figure—dressed in a broad black robe with a huge hood to hide its face—held a great silver scythe, shining with a palpitating cold light!

The moment it appeared, heaven and earth shook as if in fear.

This figure seemed to be the end of all things—eternal silence!

The great silver scythe swung out with the [King’s Sword] as a dense death aura filled the place.

Zheng Jinshang—who was hiding behind the barrier—didn’t feel the slightest sense of security. Instead, he felt suffocated. His body was cold; it was as though he had fallen into an ice cave.

He felt the aura of death. It was very different from the aura he felt from the light power when Link killed the ancient nether corpse.

How is this possible? Zheng Jinshang’s heart shook wildly, and his face twisted in disbelief! What kind of a terrifying existence have I provoked that caused the power of two opposing attributes to appear?

Something like this was unheard of! It should be known that a player would have to be extremely lucky in order to awaken a special attribute. This kid in front of him was a monster!

Zheng Jinshang didn’t have the slightest thought of resistance. His previous resentment and anger were totally extinguished as if a pot of cold water was poured over his head!

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: Run! I want to escape from here!

But as soon as Zheng Jinshang moved, the deathly sword broke and crumbled the defensive barriers in front of him.

The palpitating sword light targeted him like the God of Death’s gaze!

Crack!

It sounded like silk being ripped apart!

The sword energy pierced through Zheng Jinshang’s head, and his body was in a disastrous state. It flew backward into the distance like a broken sack.

The death energy remaining in his body took away every bit of vitality forcefully.

In just a few breaths, Zheng Jinshang’s corpse became withered and decayed as if he had been dead for several years!

Reaping life and bringing about eternal silence—this was [Death Judgement]!

The shadow behind Link disappeared, and peace was restored to the place once again.

This sword didn’t trigger the instant death effect, but as a summoner with the [Exorcist] hidden profession, Zheng Jinshang wasn’t known for his physical strength.

Link’s strong attributes—coupled with the skill effects—were enough for a one-hit kill on such a physically weak profession!

Link put away the [King’s Sword] and turned his head to look in the direction of the camp, where the entrance to the ruin was!

After the warm-up, it was time to enter the ruin!

Link was planning to break through to Stage Five as soon as possible and build his own domain. Hence, he hoped that this ruin—which was coveted by the major factions—wouldn’t let him down.

As Link was lost in his thoughts, several figures suddenly scurried out of the forest. It was Ou Chen and a few Temple of Light players.

They looked at the aftermath of the battle, slightly stunned.

“Didn’t they say there was a terrifying powerhouse at the peak of Stage Five? Where is everyone?”

“Has he been killed?!”

Zhao Yongkang pondered for a moment before nodding. “That’s right; our City Master has killed him!”

He was slightly taken aback. The sword containing the dense death aura was terrifyingly powerful.

At that moment, Link seemed to have transformed into a god that dominated life and death, leaving the others in awe.

Upon Hearing Zhao Yongkang’s response, a few Temple of Light members’ expressions became complex. Some were shocked, some were in a trance, and most were appalled!

What kind of terrifying combat power did one have to possess to kill a powerhouse at the peak of Stage Five in such a short moment? It would be difficult for another powerhouse at the peak of Stage Five, and even a Stage Six Bright Moon-rank powerhouse, to do so!

One had to know that killing and defeating were two different matters! How could a powerhouse at the peak of Stage Five not have some tricks up their sleeves?

A powerhouse at Stage Four, Level 8 killed another powerhouse at Stage Five, Level 10. It was a big cross-level kill!

City Master Link was indeed terrifyingly powerful!

They were Stage Four [Doomsday Online] players. But in this case, comparisons were odious.

A few Temple of Light members even began to feel guilty. Being the same level as City Master Link, they felt like they had disgraced other Stage Four players and City Master Link…

Ou Chen was also momentarily stunned, but he already knew how powerful Link was, or rather, he was numb to such blows. Hence, he soon recovered.

Laughing, Ou Chen said, “This is how powerful Link is, awesome!”

But in his heart: Damn, I made another trip for nothing. Even a Stage Five, Level 10 existence was no match for Brother Link! Can I still catch up?

Link couldn’t be bothered by these people’s thoughts. He let them wrap up the scene.

Some of those [Doomsday Online] players—who were captured to act as the formation’s foundation—were previously caught in the enemy’s domain. They were affected by it and needed to be rescued immediately.

Ou Chen and the others immediately became busy…
