137: Chapter 137 Humans Cannot Have a Second Ye Fan
Liu Qingzhu was furious. Since falling out with City Lord Qin Wentian, the entire Liu Family had defected and moved to the territory of the Abyss.
The Abyssal Demon God did not mistreat Liu Qingzhu, directly using powerful force to raise Liu Qingzhu's level by one.
Do not underestimate this single level; the difficulty between Level 90 and Level 89 is as vast as the heavens. If Liu Qingzhu could have reached Level 90 earlier, he wouldn't have been suppressed and beaten by President An Zhixia.
During this Abyssal siege, the Abyssal Sovereign and the Abyssal Sword Emperor were dispatched. The Abyssal Sword Emperor successfully completed the mission, breaching Twilight City and returning safely to the Abyss, but the Abyssal Sovereign was left behind in Sword Immortal City.
Such high-level Abyssal generals are extremely important to the Abyss; this time, the Abyss could be said to be bleeding heavily.
Yet the culprit responsible for the fall of the Abyssal Sovereign was an Elementalist only in his 20s.
Just how powerful an Elementalist could be was something Ye Fan's performance had truly made the Abyss understand. When the Abyss first descended, within a short period, the human mortality rate exceeded 95%. The remaining humans had to go into hiding, facing overwhelming numbers of monsters without even a place to stand.
It was Ye Fan—the Ye Fan who awakened with Infinite Life—who, at level 20-something, used the staff in his hand to bit by bit, over the course of a month, beat a Level 100 BOSS to death.
He established the first city for humanity.
Only then did humanity have a future.
And now, another Elementalist in his 20s has appeared among humans, and at this level, he can actually kill the Level 500 Abyssal Sovereign.
Yes, the Abyssal Sovereign and the Abyssal Sword Emperor are Level 500. The humans don't know this, but Liu Qingzhu does.
Level 500! This is Level 500!
If it were Liu Qingzhu facing the Abyssal Sovereign, a single axe swing would leave not even a single hair of Liu Qingzhu behind.
Therefore, upon sensing the will of the Abyssal Demon God, the Liu Family mobilized. they constantly sent people to leveling spots around Sword Immortal City to search for Yun Ge's tracks, and even contacted some Awakeneds who hadn't yet defected, preparing to deal a fatal blow to Yun Ge.
Humanity absolutely cannot be allowed to produce a second Ye Fan.
Things went smoothly. Liu Qingzhu personally tracked down Yun Ge. In Liu Qingzhu's view, a Level 30 Elementalist only needed a gentle swipe of his dagger for this Elementalist's life to end today.
Liu Qingzhu was not careless at all. As he approached Yun Ge, he struck several times within a single second, but he didn't expect Yun Ge's reaction to be so fast—he directly activated invincibility and dodged.
Now, it was Liu Qingzhu's turn to be desperate.
Xiao Yan brandished his greatsword like a god descending to earth, clad entirely in Level 100 Dark Gold Equipment. Before the appearance of legendary equipment, this was the absolute peak for all of humanity. Although Liu Qingzhu had reached Level 90, his equipment hadn't been updated much.
Or rather, even if it were updated, what meaning would it have before Xiao Yan?
In the rapid exchange just now, after a few swings from Xiao Yan, Liu Qingzhu's health quickly bottomed out. If it weren't for the many Dark-type skills he gained after joining the Abyss, Liu Qingzhu would have been hacked to death by Xiao Yan long ago.
"You, a Level 100 high-ranking member of the Awakened Alliance, instead of fighting BOSSes, you're actually acting as a bodyguard for someone!"
Liu Qingzhu was going to die of anger!
Even if it were President An Zhixia or City Lord Qin Wentian here, Liu Qingzhu would have the confidence to kill Yun Ge and then make a clean getaway, but he never expected that the one protecting Yun Ge would be Xiao Yan.
"A rat in the gutter, not fit for the stage."
Xiao Yan gave a cold laugh. This old guy had some tricks; in the past, those few swings would have killed him long ago, yet he could still survive after taking so many hits.
No wonder some people are willing to betray humanity; there are indeed some benefits.
Now Xiao Yan desperately wished he also had a legendary greatsword. Among the Level 100 seniors of the Awakened Alliance, three people already had legendary weapons...
If he had a legendary weapon, he could have killed this old guy with one strike.
Xiao Yan was in no hurry. It was rare to encounter a high-level Abyssal Betrayer, and he wanted to see exactly what kind of skills could be unlocked after joining the Abyss.
"You forced my hand!"
Liu Qingzhu's eyes turned blood-red, and thick black energy billowed from his body.
Yun Ge and the other two continued to retreat. Liu Qingzhu's current state looked just like a BOSS going enraged, about to unleash a big move.
After a burst of thick smoke, Liu Qingzhu's appearance had completely changed. His form expanded dozens of times, his entire body covered in scales. There was no longer any human semblance; he had completely transformed into an Abyssal monster.
"Abyssal Demon General · Liu Qingzhu, HP 30,000,000, Level 90."
"Holy crap, he turned into a BOSS!"
"30 million health!"
Liu Qingzhu's transformation shocked Yun Ge and the others; a perfectly normal person had suddenly become a BOSS!
"Can you handle it, Boss Xiao?"
Xiao Yan shook his head:
"He has already lost his own consciousness; he is now a monster completely controlled by the Abyss."
Liu Qingzhu was completely gone, but even turning into a Level 90 BOSS was meaningless to an expert like Xiao Yan who could solo a Fire Dragon.
If he had known this would be his final end, one wonders if Liu Qingzhu would still have chosen to defect.
"Oblivion Slash!"
Xiao Yan no longer hesitated. Liu Qingzhu had demonized and lost his consciousness; keeping him was useless. He would just treat it as finding a stray BOSS!
"-43532!"
Su Lei's mouth hung open; Xiao Yan dealt over 40,000 damage to the BOSS with a single swing!
This damage was no lower than Yun Ge's Mana Bomb!
It was only a matter of time before the BOSS Liu Qingzhu became after demonizing was beaten to death by Xiao Yan!
Yun Ge was a bit eager to try out how much damage his Level 2 Mana Bomb could do, but Liu Qingzhu was Level 90, and the level suppression was severe, so the effect might not be very good.
Furthermore, if Liu Qingzhu used an area-of-effect attack, it would surely instant-kill Yun Ge.
After thinking it over, Yun Ge stayed honestly in the distance without moving. With Xiao Yan there, they didn't need to intervene.
"Let's continue killing mobs."
Yun Ge pointed at the Saber-Toothed Tigers that had already respawned, signaling Su Lei to go pull them. After witnessing Liu Qingzhu's terrifying state, Yun Ge made up his mind not to leave Xiao Yan's line of sight. You fight yours, and I'll fight mine.
"On it!"
Su Lei dashed out. While Xiao Yan and the BOSS engaged in a great battle to the side, the three of them continued to grind small mobs nearby.
"Meteor Shower!"
Large patches of meteors fell from the sky, accompanied by a sky full of Fire Rain, dealing damage twice to the Saber-Toothed Tigers. At the same time, the ground was a sea of fire; before the tigers could even get near Yun Ge, they all turned into experience points.
"Yun Ge's damage is even higher after reaching Level 30!"
The damage of the thunder staff was 160 points higher than the Yaoguang Staff. Now, with one skill from Yun Ge, the damage was as high as over 600, and the Saber-Toothed Tigers couldn't withstand it for more than a few hits.
"Let's try this skill again."
When Su Lei pulled over another dozen or so mobs, Yun Ge released the Thundercloud Storm attached to the thunder staff.
"Boom!"
The color of the sky above Yun Ge's head changed as massive thunderclouds gathered. Countless bolts of lightning struck the head of every mob, also causing them to be briefly paralyzed.
"Hmm... not bad!"
