Chapter 111: Chapter ill This guy is too despicable

This was not even their greatest fear.

What truly terrified them was the increase in strength of the hellish demon puppet; they had fought it before and had a good grasp of Lao Tie’s limits.

It used to be a puppet that relied on basic melee output, with barely acceptable attack power but extremely high resistance.

But now, it had transformed, as if spiraling up into a fantastic dream!

It not only possessed powerful conventional output skills, but its basic melee attacks also became extremely terrifying.

Others relied on two hands to deliver attacks, but this thing conjured up eight additional piercing claws, meaning a single attack slashed at you ten times!

Who the hell could withstand that?

At this moment, Zi Liyuan swept his gaze over the remaining few, very satisfied with the current situation.

Especially with the new equipment set skills, his most powerful damage spell now was the Death’s Dark Arrow. After duplicating this skill, the damage caused by two consecutive shots was extremely terrifying.

“Zi Liyuan, after slaughtering five members of Ancient Noble Families, aren’t you afraid of their retaliation?”

Li Fengwen cradled the panda Tuanzi, looking utterly disheveled. He had just been hit by the Corpse Explosion Technique. Had it not been for a lifesaving scroll used at the crucial moment, he may not have died, but the panda Tuanzi in his arms would undoubtedly have been killed. Then, the plans he was scheming would have to end prematurely.

To say he wasn’t angry would be impossible, but the current situation was stronger than him. Unless he could find the opportunity to take down Zi Liyuan in one fell swoop, he could only bide his time for now.

This made him feel stifled. He had been beaten up by this guy last time because he did not want to reveal his trump card.

But this time, he almost got blown to death, and now he was even more concerned. When had he ever suffered such indignity before?

“If they’re killed, they’re killed. There are many members in Ancient Noble Families. Even if it’s a direct descendant, if they lose their prospects, how much would they care?”

Zi Liyuan was on guard and kept an eye on the Spider Queen’s health while also staying vigilant towards Li Fengwen and the other three imperial family members.

He didn’t want to take out members of the royal family as well. Offending Ancient Noble Families was one thing; their current power within the Blue Star Great Xia Empire wasn’t big enough to cause much of a stir. But the members of the four royal families were different.

The four Huaxia Empires within the Sea of Realms truly had the power to rally an immense amount of forces. He would definitely have to enter the Sea of Realms in the future, and if he made enemies out of them now, he would inevitably encounter endless troubles later on.

“The Ancient Noble Families aren’t something a commoner like you can provoke. You’ve disrupted their members’ prospects, and they will not let it go so easily. There are plenty of ways to oppress you on Blue Star.”

Li Fengwen, Liu Shengnan, Zhu Wu, and the remaining Jiang family members gathered together, exchanging glances and pressuring Zi Liyuan while trying to buy time.

“I can take the covert oppression, but if anyone dares to target me openly, then I’m sorry. I will expose the matter of you four royal families and eight Ancient Noble Families members colluding to use the lives and futures of high school examinees as bait for personal gain during this martial trial instance.”

Zi Liyuan’s smile left Li Fengwen and the others feeling a chill.

This guy was too despicable. If the affair were really exposed, their families’ reputations would undoubtedly suffer a hit. Although it wouldn’t be too serious, the few of them as the masterminds would definitely be punished by their families and possibly have their future development resources reduced.

This shameless tactic was typical of forcing the four royal families to get involved. Using the power of the royal families to suppress the private feud with the eight Ancient Noble Families—at least on the surface, it would force them to refrain from retaliating openly against Zi Liyuan.

Too low!

“Also, YingXueji, you three better not bring the Spider Queen’s health below 1.5 million. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that I won’t clean up the four royal family members along with her.”

Seeing that the Spider Queen’s health had dropped to around 3 million, Zi Liyuan spoke slowly, his Spirit locked on Ying Xueji and the other two from the Ancient Noble Families who were attacking the BOSS.

A stark threat, yet it left them with no recourse.

Li Fengwen and his group of four certainly had a trump card up their sleeve, waiting for the Spider Queen’s health to dwindle to a certain level before delivering the ultimate fatal blow.

The source of the rule changes within the blood-colored barrier was the will of the Evil God, and this will was attached to the Spider Queen. Whoever could slay her would obtain the special reward given by the martial trial instance.

As for the various items the Spider Queen would drop upon death, they had agreed from the start to each vie for them using their own methods. However, the corpse must be left to Li Fengwen, for which he had had to concede some benefits.

As for the special reward the transformed martial trial instance would provide, Li Fengwen and his comrades were well aware. The histories of the four great imperial families were long, and the myriad of records and secrets documented by their clans were innumerable.

There were certainly records of instances that had been invaded and transformed by the will of the Evil God, which mentioned the treasures that could be obtained.

Frankly, just obtaining one of these treasures would give them an absolute advantage in the Sea of Realms from the get-go.

Such immense benefits were reason enough for them to dare to attempt such a bold move.

“Zi Liyuan, do you truly believe we can’t kill you?”

“You must have a trump card that can kill me, but the fact that you’ve dragged this on so long and not used it shows that you’re plotting something.”

After sweeping a glance at Li Fengwen, Zi Liyuan’s gaze shifted back onto the Spider Queen.

“I’ve already started threatening you, and yet YingXueji is still stubbornly attacking the Spider Queen. Clearly, your trump card is reserved for the Spider Queen.

The rules of the instance have changed, the BOSS will drop items, but the drops can be contested by anyone, without a last-hit protection mechanism.

So, the reason you can tolerate my constant provocations must be because of the fatal strike you’re planning on the Spider Queen.

A Legendary BOSS possessed by the will of the Evil God must have some special significance, or perhaps the person who takes her down will receive some kind of special reward.

Am I right?”

As Zi Liyuan speculated, he spoke and observed the expressions of everyone, while also recalling the only wild instance dungeon he had ever conquered.

Could a martial trial instance that has been invaded and transformed by the will of the Evil God also be considered a wild instance dungeon?

After clearing a wild instance dungeon, it was possible to use the rules of the instance’s origin to condense an Origin Treasure Chest!

Wasn’t it the Lord’s Heart from the Origin Treasure Chest that he had traded with Number Two?

At this moment, Li Fengwen and his companions looked at Zi Liyuan as if they had seen a ghost.

Just from a few clues, he had deduced so much – was he that terrifying?

“It seems I’m right.”

Using Spirit observation on the group, Zi Liyuan saw their revealing expressions and understood them clearly, which only fueled his eagerness.

The martial trial instance was on a much higher level than the wild instance dungeon he had encountered before. Additionally, it had now been transformed by the will of the Evil God, which surely elevated its quality.

If he could snatch the final blow and obtain the Origin Treasure Chest…
