In less than ten minutes, outside the city, Wang Junjie led the Chaotic World Guild army and arrived.
Looking at the familiar Shadow City in front of him, memories of the setback he suffered here before surfaced uncontrollably, making Wang Junjie even more furious and humiliated, "Damn it! Rulebound! If I still can't kill you this time, I—"
Just as the surrounding Chaotic World players all turned to look at Wang Junjie, waiting for him to finish his bold declaration, Wang Junjie suddenly slammed on the brakes in time.
He shouted at them, "What are you all standing around for? Charge for me!"
Right as his words fell, Zhuge Jie suddenly thought of something, "Why would Rulebound and the others come back to Shadow City? Didn't he already clear the hidden dungeon here a long time ago?"
"Could it be for that level 50 Tier 5 big BOSS that rushed out of the dungeon last time?"
Hearing this, Wang Junjie's excitement grew even stronger, "Doesn't that mean today I can not only personally kill Rulebound, but also take down a Tier 5 BOSS? Today's a double win for me?"
"No, to be precise, it's a triple win!", Zhuge Jie added, "Once you kill Rulebound, that Ruoxi girl will agree to accompany you." [T/N: Some extraterrestrial logic.]
Wang Junjie was overjoyed, "Hahahaha! After holding it in for so long, it's finally my turn to enjoy this."
"After today, the era of Rulebound will be over! I, Wang Junjie, will be the king of Blazing Ember City!"
With that, Wang Junjie gave the order, "Brothers, kill! If you can't kill Rulebound, then kill his NPC soldiers."
"One kill, one million bounty! No cap!"
The people under Wang Junjie now were all top-tier players in Blazing Ember City, and those who could reach this level usually had solid real-life backgrounds as well.
Even so, none of them could resist the huge temptation of a million bounty.
With Wang Junjie's command, five thousand elite Chaotic World players charged forward, storming into Shadow City amid overwhelming battle cries.
However, once the entire army entered the city, they suddenly discovered: the massive Shadow City was completely empty.
"Where's Rulebound?"
"Where's that NPC army under his command?"
"We just saw him lead a team into the city with our own eyes!"
"Then where did they go? Did they grow wings and fly off?"
"Damn it! Did he run again?"
Just as everyone was confused and Wang Junjie was getting irritated, suddenly, one of his subordinates rushed over to report, "Boss Jie! We found an open stone gate inside the city. Rulebound might have hidden inside that gate."
Buzz!
Hearing this news, Wang Junjie's balls sharnk to nuts.
The newer members of the Chaotic World Guild might not know.
But Wang Junjie knew very well: that stone gate was the only entrance to the elite hidden dungeon Shadow Holy Hall, the Shadow Gate.
Back then, he had exhausted all his efforts and still couldn't open that gate.
In the end, Lin Mo opened the Shadow Gate first and entered the dungeon, reaping countless rare treasures inside. Even now, just thinking about it made Wang Junjie grind his teeth in hatred.
Now that he heard the Shadow Gate had been reopened, Wang Junjie couldn't wait and immediately led the Chaotic World players to the gate.
Sure enough, the Shadow Gate stood wide open.
He burst into laughter, "Rulebound, I didn't expect you to be this capable! You actually managed to open the Shadow Gate again?"
"Hahaha! You've really done me a huge favor."
"Brothers, follow me into the Shadow Holy Hall, kill Rulebound, and seize the dungeon treasure!"
With that said, just as Wang Junjie was about to lead his men into the Shadow Gate. Suddenly—
Rumble! Rumble!
Along with a sudden violent shaking of the ground, before anyone could react, a burst of intense commotion erupted from within the Shadow Gate ahead.
The next second, a large group of level 50 Shadow Cavalry, clad in armor and wielding long spears, rode Shadow Warhorses and charged out of the Shadow Gate.
"Damn! Enemy attack! All units, defend!"
After all, these were top-tier players of Blazing Ember City, far superior to the previous ragtag bunch of weaklings in the Chaotic World Guild.
The knight players at the very front reacted instantly, raising their shields to form a defensive line.
But even with quick reactions.
Facing the powerful assault of these level 50 Shadow Cavalry, they were completely unable to withstand it.
In just a moment, the defensive line was shattered.
That surging group of Shadow Cavalry broke through and charged straight into the rear ranks of the Chaotic World army, rampaging through the crowd.
In an instant, accompanied by waves of screams, the fragile mage, priest, and warlock players in the backline were slaughtered. Countless beams of white light symbolizing death shot into the sky one after another.
At the same time, behind those Shadow Cavalry, a Shadow Clan general, clad in heavy shadow armor with a blood-red cape flowing behind him, radiating an aura of a king, rode a flaming warhorse and stepped out from the Shadow Gate.
Above his head, the blood-red ID made countless players gasp.
[Dark Ruler · Riga] (Lv50 Physical-type · Tier 5 BOSS)
"Holy shit! Level 50 Tier 5 BOSS?"
"Why is there such a huge BOSS here?"
"And so many level 50 monsters!"
"Damn! Their level is too high! We can't hold them!!"
Faced with the sudden Shadow Legion and the Tier 5 BOSS Dark Ruler, the Chaotic World Guild fell into total chaos.
Only Wang Junjie, instead of panicking, felt his blood boil with excitement.
"It really is that same Tier 5 BOSS from last time!"
"So Rulebound and the others really came for this BOSS!"
Zhuge Jie, however, felt something was off, "Something's not right, Boss Jie! The BOSS is already out, so why don't we see Rulebound?"
But Wang Junjie's mind was completely filled with the Tier 5 BOSS in front of him, leaving no room for anything else.
He laughed it off, "Rulebound? He must've died inside the dungeon!"
"What ability does he have to fight a Tier 5 BOSS?"
"Thanks to Rulebound for opening this Shadow Gate for me and releasing such a top-tier BOSS."
At this moment, Wang Junjie felt no fear toward this level 50 Tier 5 BOSS, the strongest one ever to appear in Blazing Ember City.
Instead, his eyes were filled only with greedy desire for its immense value.
After all, killing Rulebound would only make him feel good.
But killing this BOSS would bring real, tangible rewards.
So Wang Junjie threw the thought of revenge against Lin Mo to the back of his mind.
He shouted to the Chaotic World players around him, "Brothers, take down this BOSS!"
Under Wang Junjie's command, the Chaotic World players began launching an assault on the BOSS.
———
At the same time, outside the east gate of Shadow City—
Blending into the crowd of onlookers, Ning Xi said to Lin Mo beside her, "Brother Lin Mo, judging from the commotion, the BOSS should already be out. The Chaotic World Guild is fighting the BOSS."
Lin Mo smiled faintly, "Then we can start making our move too."
