Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s face reddened and she covered her chest, turning around. Just then, Li Yi shot a second arrow at her.
“Smack!”
Her Silvershell Trousers shattered, revealing her long and fair legs.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut instinctively activated her golden aura in an attempt to cover her body, but the gold-colored aura was just a mild glow on the surface of her skin. Unlike before, it could not envelop her entire body.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut had run out of Territory Power, so she could not use the gold-colored aura to protect her body anymore.
That was when Li Yi stopped using Strip Armor, and instead placed a Hunt Target onto her and drawing his Powered-up Arrow...
If he used that shot on her again, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut would end up completely naked. No matter what, she was still the Guild Master of an extremely large guild, and she was not as annoying as Bai Xiaoya, so Li Yi showed her some mercy.
“Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst-brrrr—”
“Bam!”
He let the Powered-up Arrow loose, and Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut fell on cue.
With that, the Fluttering Snow Alliance was wiped out. No survivors remained.
Perhaps some of them may still own a Resurrection Talisman or two, but the problem now was that it did not matter if they got up separately or in unison. The Lightning Leopard was very skilled at camping corpses, and Li Yi was watching them constantly. The moment any of them tried to stand, he would send an arrow right their way. If a group tried to stand at once, he would instantly use Shoot at Random, cutting off even their slightest chance at resurrection.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was the first to abandon her corpse, choosing instead to lose a level and return to her country. Li Yi may have shown her mercy, but such a humiliation was already beyond her limits...
As soon as the Guild Master left, the remaining troops lost morale as well. Some swore at Li Yi, while others chose to return to their country immediately. Soon, all that remained on the ground was a bunch of bodies.
However, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth stayed right there.
The green-skinned demon, Ruth, ran at Li Yi, and Li Yi dismissed the Lightning Leopard, summoning the Violent Bear King instead to tank it. He then tossed a Hunt Target at it and drew a Powered-up Arrow, killing Ruth in just 29 seconds.
“Ding!”
The green-skinned demon, Ruth, fell to the ground, and a Summoning Spell Tome with a black cover dropped. This was the quest item, and it was sure to drop whenever a player with the quest killed the quest monster.
Li Yi went forth to pick up the Summoning Spell Tome and received a system notification. [You have obtained the Summoning Spell Tome. You may now return to Aragon and turn in your quest.]
The quest countdown timer stopped as well, and Li Yi heaved a sigh of relief. As long as he had the quest item, he could turn in the quest whenever he liked.
“Buddy, could you let me up so we can have a chat?” said Tyrant Sword King the Fifth from where he lay on the ground.
Li Yi dismissed the Violent Bear King and nodded. “Sure.”
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth resurrected and stood up, staring straight at Li Yi for a long while without a word.
“What is it? Just spit it out. There’s no one else but the two of us here.”
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth chuckled. “Haha, I know you’re with Lil Qian now. You do know about my relationship with Lil Qian, right?”
Li Yi feigned ignorance. “What is your relationship with Lil Qian?”
There was a flash of glee across Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s eyes. “We’ve been engaged since childhood, and we’ll get married soon.”
Li Yi laughed. “Then I wish you a happy life together in advance.”
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was stunned for a second, but then he said with a laugh, “Alright, state your price? How much do you want in exchange for leaving Qian’er?”
Li Yi retorted, “Do you have ten trillion USD?”
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was struck speechless again.
“If you can’t offer ten trillion USD, don’t try to show off your wealth to me.”
“Haha, you misunderstood. I’m not paying you to leave Qian’er, I just wanted to compensate you however I can. You don’t understand the relationship between our families, so it’s not your fault. I’m sure you’ll know soon enough.”
When Tyrant Sword King the Fifth uttered those words, he did not raise his voice, but it still sounded like a threat.
“I don’t care if you’re engaged. Let me just reiterate, Qian’er is my woman. You can forget about having her in this lifetime, unless...”
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth said, “Unless what?”
“Unless nothing.”
Li Yi loosed an arrow and took Tyrant Sword King the Fifth down. The latter had not dropped a single piece of equipment even though he died so many times earlier, but this time he was not so lucky. Having failed to dodge the attack, he dropped a Purple Quality Ring.
Li Yi went forth to pick it up and was instantly overjoyed. The legendary Purple Quality Ring gave STR +700 and Holy +2.
Wiping out the Fluttering Snow Alliance earned him Li Yi ten pieces of equipment, but compared to Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s Purple Quality Ring, the other nine were much more lackluster in comparison.
Equipping the Purple Quality Ring immediately, Li Yi saw his Holy value rise to 28 as well.
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth said darkly, “Dark Wing, remember this. Strength in the game does not equate to strength in real life!”
Li Yi laughed and walked up to him, crouching down to look at him as he nodded. “You may be right, but you’d also do well to remember this: I’m not only strong in the game.”
Having said all he had to say, Li Yi promptly ignored Tyrant Sword King the Fifth and left.
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth lay on the ground for a long time before he chose to release his corpse and return to the country, losing levels. However, he suddenly realized something was amiss.
He had entered the command to resurrect back home three times now, but he was still lying on the floor...
When Li Yi killed him just now, he had used Soul Bind. Tyrant Sword King the Fifth did not know any Territories, so he was not immune to special skills. The Soul Bind took effect, which meant he could only stay right there...
...
At the Fluttering Snow Kingdom’s Celestial Capital, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut had recovered her equipment and was walking down the streets with Bai Xiaoya.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut sighed softly. “Dark Wing sure is impressive. He’s gotten even stronger now, and it’s barely been a few days.”
Bai Xiaoya shook her head. “He really is just like that monster. Both of them are so strong it’s impossible to see where their limits are...
“Lil Purple, if that monster fought Dark Wing now, who do you think would win?”
“Right now?”
“Uh-huh.”
“My answer stays the same. Even if that monster can’t win, he definitely won’t lose either.”
In the twilight rays, the setting sun shone down on both women, elongating their shadows endlessly. It painted a rather melancholic picture...
“Ding!”
Just then, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut received an SOS message from Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.
“Guild Master, please get a few Light Priests over here. Dark Wing used Soul Bind on me...”
...
Li Yi did not seek out Aragon in Karan City, and neither did he wait outside the city. Instead, he ran to the Demonic Forest, south of Karan City, and began to farm monsterlings solo.
Although his level was much higher than the other players right now, he knew perfectly well that he had to grind if he wanted to maintain that lead. Otherwise, he would be surpassed in no time.
Players could only accept Aragon’s random quests once a day, so even if Li Yi went to the NPC now and turned in the quest, he would not be able to accept a new quest. In that case, he may as well wait for tomorrow to turn in the old quest and accept a new one at the same time.
“Arooo—”
A demon monsterling with a green face and fangs leaped out of the forest and blocked Li Yi’s way.
Li Yi tossed a gold-colored Hunt Target at it and released his Territory barrier, reducing the green-faced monsterling’s speed. He then used his Rocket Propellant to retreat, drawing his Megasnake Bow without pause.
“Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst—”
“Smack! Smack!”
He unleashed two Powered-up Arrows and hit the green-faced monsterling’s body.
[−7376788]
[−7132212]
The two arrows found their mark and took 14,000,000HP from the green-faced monsterling.
Li Yi then put away his Megasnake Bow, switching to Wrath of the Stars instead as he continued to loose Powered-up Arrows at it.
“Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst-brrrr—”
[−16532234]
That one arrow took 16,000,000HP!
After that little test, Li Yi had to admit that the Wrath of the Stars with Holy +16 was much stronger than the Megasnake Bow.
The Megasnake Bow with its Double Tap attribute was such a white elephant. If only he could transfer that Double Tap attribute to the Wrath of the Stars, it would be simply perfect!
Li Yi fantasized but he did not stop attacking at the same time. He advanced and retreated in waves, using nothing but Hunt Target and Powered-up Arrow. It did not take him too long to finish off the green-faced monsterling.
Solo farming granted a ton of EXP, but at the same time, the monsters dropped far fewer items too. If players farmed as a party, the monsters would drop slightly more items the more members there were in the party. However, they would earn much less EXP than if they grinded solo.
To powerhouses with the gaming skills to back them up, solo farming was the fastest way to grind. It was just much more consuming and dangerous than farming with a party.
The green-faced monsterling did not drop so much as a material, awarding Li Yi 500,000 EXP and nothing more.
Li Yi was unperturbed, continuing to pull aggro and farm solo. After all, he was after the EXP, and it did not matter to him at all whether these monsterlings dropped any items.
While Li Yi was farming monsterlings for EXP alone, something huge happened at the Foreignland entrance, or the Seventh Demonic Domain.
The complete Seventh Demon God had spawned!
Compared to the weakened Seventh Demon God, the complete Seventh Demon God was absolutely terrifying. When players formed armies to challenge it, it just stabbed its steel trident into the ground and let it vibrate, killing all its enemies with the vibrations alone.
The soundwaves had an attack range of over 300 yards, destroying the entire Seventh Demon God Altar.
It did not matter how many players they gathered. If they encountered the Seventh Demon God, all they received in return with a free ticket back to the city.
It was ridiculously OP. The power demonstrated by the Seventh Demon God demonstrated the true distance between gods and mortals.
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth suffered at Li Yi’s hand, so he sent Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut an SOS message. Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut immediately sent reinforcements, but as the Priests who could undo Soul Bind rushed toward the Demonic Forest, they were just about to cross the Seventh Demon God Altar when the Seventh Demon God spawned, killing every single one of the Priests.
To reach the Sixth Demonic Domain and the Demonic Forest, they had to go through the Seventh Demon God Altar. However, the situation right now meant that no one player could defeat the Seventh Demon God, so no one could get across the area for now.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut gathered her troops and summoned her Fluttering Snow Alliance, even calling upon the God Creator Guild’s Amber Sword Heart, Alex, and the yellow-robed Priest Ah Ye. Together, they launched an attack on the Seventh Demon God.
In the end, they were all wiped out...
Even Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s Invincible Iron Fist could not stop the Seventh Demon God’s deadly steel trident. They had barely crossed paths when half of the party was taken out, and upon their second contact, everyone aside from Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut and the very few Territory Masters was all dead.
The power difference was too much. They did not have the level or the equipment needed, so it did not matter how many more hands they brought in. They were not getting through.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut gave it one try before she announced that they were giving up. She then found a place around the Foreignland Entrance where she could grind levels in peace.
At the same time, Li Yi was going on a solo massacre in the Sixth Demonic Doman, the Demonic Forest. His EXP increased exponentially...
