398: An unexpected windfall! A newcomer snatching chestnuts from the fire!

"Zhang Qianyuan! I, Gouli... accept my fate!"

Gouli stopped suppressing her injuries. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and adopted a stance ready for a final, desperate attack before death.

Zhang Qianyuan, who was closely following Gouli from afar, stopped his steps.

He first cupped his hands toward Su Lie's territory: "Thank you! I will remember this favor today! If you ever need help in the future, Brother, I, Zhang Qianyuan, will certainly lend my full support!"

After speaking.

He looked contemptuously at Gouli: "Gouli! If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for stealing my Treasure Chest back then!"

"Bullshit! That damn thing was mine, wasn't it!"

Gouli was so angry she almost laughed.

She hadn't expected Zhang Qianyuan to be so shameless.

She had clearly discovered it first.

Zhang Qianyuan, unable to defeat Gouli back then, had an arm severed and eventually fled.

Although Gouli obtained the Treasure Chest, her face was disfigured because of it.

Because of this, the two became mortal enemies.

Zhang Qianyuan put his hands in his pockets, adopting a posture that said, "I'm waiting for you to die," while his eyes darted around: "Anything Grandpa sees belongs to Grandpa! These are the rules we follow!"

"As the saying goes, yesterday's cause leads to today's effect!"

"Today is the retribution for you, Gouli, stealing my supreme treasure!"

"Haha!"

He burst out laughing.

*Pfft!*

Gouli was so enraged that she spat blood.

Trembling, she pointed at Zhang Qianyuan and yelled through gritted teeth, "Shameless!"

At this moment.

Her last breath escaped because of this.

Gouli's aura was weakened to the extreme.

She was swaying and couldn't even maintain her levitation for long.

Zhang Qianyuan revealed a look of successful cunning at this time.

While rushing toward Gouli, he spoke obscenely: "Bitch! I'm going to refine you into my Vengeful Demon Puppet! You want to die... Haha! It won't be that easy!"

*Buzz!*

The next second.

Zhang Qianyuan suddenly halted his movement.

A figure holding a shotgun suddenly appeared between him and Gouli.

Zhang Qianyuan's pupils contracted, and he quickly retreated: "Your Excellency..."

"Patron! As the saying goes, forgive others when possible! This poor monk is willing to mediate between the two of you. Please, patron, for the sake of the Buddha, grant me this favor!"

After several attempts, Su Lie realized he could not kill Zhang Qianyuan while in Invisibility, so he decided to show himself.

At this moment.

His Charm Aura, Persuasiveness, and Friendliness Talent were operating at their peak.

Zhang Qianyuan, who was retreating, suddenly stopped. His vigilant gaze softened: "Brother! What you say makes sense!"

He suddenly developed an endless feeling of goodwill toward Su Lie in his heart.

Subconsciously, he even believed that what Su Lie said was correct.

At the same time.

The Vassals in Su Lie's territory Guard Zone were practically losing their minds.

"Holy crap! Lord is out!"

"Being a monk is that promising?"

"What the hell! What kind of power is this, Lord?"

"Damn! I really want to marry Lord!"

"I love him! I love him! This is my Prince Charming!"

"Wuwu! Wuwu! Lord will come to marry me riding multicolored auspicious clouds!"

"The love of my life!"

... When everyone's gaze fell upon Su Lie, all sorts of thoughts arose spontaneously, and all the Vassals fell into "love."

However.

Just as Zhang Qianyuan's voice fell silent.

Zhang Qianyuan suddenly trembled, waking up from the charmed state. He looked at Su Lie in shock and cried out, "Holy crap! Kid! Are you messing with me?"

At this moment.

Su Lie's pupils contracted, and his heart suddenly jumped: "Damn! This guy actually has a Talent that grants immunity to charming!"

He immediately pulled the trigger of the dragon flame shotgun: "Since the patron is unwilling, this poor monk can only send you on your way! I hope you repent properly before the Buddha and stop committing evil! Evil deeds will always be repaid!"

*Boom!*

In an instant, a thunderous sound that shook heaven and earth rang out.

The dragon flame shotgun spewed out a sheet of fire.

Within the flames, countless bullets, like grains of sand, ripped Zhang Qianyuan's body apart with crackling sounds.

However.

Zhang Qianyuan's corpse was not flesh and blood, but fragments of light and shadow.

At this moment.

Gouli, who had already fallen about 100 meters, suddenly opened her eyes.

She looked at the tall figure in the air, shocked and disbelieving, and a shadow was deeply imprinted in her heart: "How is this possible?"

She hadn't expected that.

At a time like this.

Su Lie would actually stand in front of Zhang Qianyuan.

And bravely pull the trigger on Zhang Qianyuan.

"What a pity!"

Gouli was dizzy at this point, letting out a faint sigh before losing consciousness... In Su Lie's territory.

The Vassals were completely stunned by this scene.

Especially the sight of Su Lie shattering Zhang Qianyuan with a shotgun.

It was deeply imprinted in the minds of everyone present.

"So strong!"

"Lord is so handsome!"

"Damn! That's a Level 120 Third-Turn Professional! What level is Lord?"

"Holy hell! Does it have to be this unbelievable?"

"Am I dreaming?"

... The Vassals rubbed their eyes one after another; Su Lie's figure holding the gun was deeply etched into everyone's hearts.

Some were already too shocked to speak, breathing rapidly: "How is this possible? Lord is truly divine!"

However.

Su Lie wasn't happy; instead, he was startled: "Hiss! Was that a projection so realistic it deceived me? It even fooled me?"

Immediately afterward, he noticed that the bullets fired by the dragon flame shotgun actually stirred up spatial ripples.

This made Su Lie slightly nervous: "The dragon flame bullets have more power than just that! They can also automatically track targets and even penetrate one dimension of space... Zhang Qianyuan, where are you hiding?"

Su Lie used the Six Roots of Void Talent and carefully looked toward the dimensional gaps around him.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a figure wreathed in Blood Poison Demon Lightning and flames stumbled out of the dimension.

Su Lie also saw layers upon layers of shattered armor plates falling from this figure.

The sight of these dense armor fragments made Su Lie's scalp tingle: "How many damn layers of heavy armor are you wearing?"

Among them, a streak of light disappeared into the void and landed inside Su Lie's ruyi pouch.

Sensing these resources, Su Lie curled the corner of his mouth.

The Vassals within the territory were completely unsettled.

They stared intently outside, involuntarily clenching their fists.

"Holy crap! He still didn't die?"

"As expected of a Third-Turn Professional! We are no match for him!"

"Damn! Aren't we screwed?"

"Lord looks very calm! Can he really kill Zhang Qianyuan?"

"Shit! Su Lie is clearly intimidated!"

"Are we going to die?"

"Run quickly!"

The mentality of the newly arrived Vassals completely collapsed.

Someone immediately ran up to Ling Xu and shouted loudly: "Ling Xu! I want to leave Su Lie! I want to leave the territory! I don't want to die yet!"

"Let me leave!"

"Everyone run!"

The other new Vassals also looked around in panic.

Furthermore, some newcomers took the opportunity to stir up trouble, trying to create chaos and seize resources.

The veteran Vassals, however, turned to look at this batch of newcomers, their eyes flashing with a cold, divine light.

However.

No. 4 Little Skeleton had already arranged for the Little Skeletons of the Black Tortoise Army to guard everyone with guns.

This prevented the Vassals who tried to run around from creating a chaotic situation.

Seeing this, the veteran Vassals also abandoned the idea of personally stepping in to suppress the chaos.

Zhao Jiu, utilizing his Commander Talent, shouted in a low voice: "We have not encountered any danger yet! Anyone who deserts in the face of battle or spreads alarmist rumors will be executed without mercy!"

As he spoke.

He took out his Mist Pistol and pulled the trigger on the newly arrived Survivor who had been constantly shrieking.

*Bang!*

The gunshot rang out.

This new Vassal was killed instantly by a single shot.

The remaining new Vassals who wanted to flee immediately quieted down.

They simultaneously looked toward the sky outside the territory.

Zhang Qianyuan, his face twisted and his eyes full of hatred, glanced at Su Lie.

"Haha! Kid! You can't kill me!"

He shouted fiercely.

Just when everyone thought he was going to attack Su Lie.

Zhang Qianyuan unexpectedly tore open space.

Just as he was preparing to escape into the fissure again to leave this place.

*Boom!*

Zhang Qianyuan's body suddenly exploded.

Su Lie's pupils contracted: "What's happening?"

At this moment, a notification popped up before his eyes.

[Dark Harvest Notification: Target's health is lower than 90% of your own health. Dark Harvest the rules take effect!]

[Your Blood Poison Demon Lightning attack effect instantly kills Zhang Qianyuan!]

This allowed Su Lie to breathe a slight sigh of relief: "So it was me all along!"

*Buzz!*

Just as Zhang Qianyuan's fragmented body was about to heal back together, the sound of an explosion rang out again.

His body shattered into even finer fragments.

Furthermore, the Blood Poison Demon Lightning effect continued to be applied to these shattered pieces of flesh.

Seeing this situation, Su Lie gained some understanding: "This guy has the Undying Talent!"

*Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!*

He immediately pulled the trigger again.

Under dozens of continuous attacks.

Zhang Qianyuan's body fragments had become as fine as dust.

Moreover, the effect of the Blood Poison Demon Lightning had increased to a terrifying level of nearly 900 times.

Su Lie's achievement and Zhang Qianyuan's miserable state were witnessed by the Vassals.

The newly arrived Vassals couldn't help but let out long sighs of relief.

The veteran Vassals, however, cheered excitedly: "Lord! Awesome!"

At this moment.

"Ah!"

Zhang Qianyuan's painful wails echoed between heaven and earth: "Spare... Ah..."

As this sound faded.

The "dust" floating in the air suddenly lost all its power and fell toward the ground.

And the Refining Fire that ignited the "dust" quickly burned the dust to ashes at this moment.

Materials refined by the Treasure Refining effect of the Fire Refining Bullet and the dragon flame shotgun turned into points of light, dissipated in the air, and fell into Su Lie's ruyi pouch.

Su Lie had already sensed his gains through the Auto-Pickup Talent.

Inside the territory Guard Zone.

Some of the newly promoted Vassals who had fallen silent were thinking about ways to leave.

They realized that their outburst just now had completely severed any possibility of them staying in Su Lie's territory.

Su Liya, who understood their thoughts, made arrangements for No. 4 Little Skeleton using her Spirit power.

Zhao Jiu guessed something from the actions of the Little Skeletons.

Before he could speak.

Only Qi Miaomiao's contemptuous voice rang out: "A bunch of damn idiots! Don't you think about it? If Lord didn't have this capability, would he dare to go out and face a Third-Turn Professional?"

"Every single one of you is damn blind!"

"Open your dog eyes and look outside!"

"Lord has already killed Zhang Qianyuan!"

"You actually dare to question Lord's strength! That's judging people by their appearance!"

"What a pity!"

"Such a great opportunity was just wasted by you all for nothing!"

"Ling Xu! Ling Xu!"

"Your judgment really isn't great!"

These words left Ling Xu speechless, his cheeks flushed with shame, wishing he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Under everyone's gaze.

Su Lie instantly moved next to Gouli, who was about ten meters from the ground.

He grabbed Gouli's body and instantly left the spot with her.

*Buzz!*

In the blink of an eye.

Su Lie returned to the Guard Zone.

*Clamor!*

The veteran Vassals cupped their hands toward Su Lie and shouted loudly: "Lord is mighty!"

"Lord is awesome!"

"Lord! I love you!"

"Lord! You are the eternal god in my heart!"

... And a portion of the newly arrived Vassals also started shouting along.

They looked at Su Lie with reverence, their eyes filled with excitement, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble.

The newcomers who had wanted to escape, create chaos, and gain benefits during Su Lie's fight with Zhang Qianyuan all looked ashen.

Suddenly.

A newcomer stepped forward: "Su Lie! Congratulations on successfully slaying your great enemy! I... have no face to stay here. Please restore my freedom! Let me leave!"

"Su Lie! I was scared just now! But anyone facing such a powerful enemy would act as I did!"

Another person stepped forward. He looked hatefully at Zhao Jiu and whispered: "But your dog shouldn't kill people just because we were afraid! This place of yours is too dark! I want to leave!"

Immediately afterward.

Approximately twenty-three new Vassals gathered together, all shouting that they wanted to leave...
