Not long after, Li Chen came over and called Kaede away, leaving the group looking at each other in dismay.
"So Kaede knows that Li Chen?" Liu Mengqi blinked and said.
"It's really a bit unbelievable." Jiang Ya expressed that he was also shocked; he had originally thought that no player would have any interaction with a figure on that level.
After all, Li Chen's strength was too great; it was truly hard to imagine what topics he could discuss with players.
"In that case, what Kaede said must have been told to her by Li Chen, so we need to be even more vigilant," Xiao Mengxue said.
"Indeed." Jiang Ya also nodded.
Akame and Kurome looked over there and exchanged a glance, both seeing helpless expressions in each other's eyes.
With Big Sister's personality, she would probably be taking risks again...
However, Akame and Kurome didn't say anything more. They knew that even if they said something, Kaede wouldn't give up; on the contrary, it would affect her, so they could only pray silently.
Calling it prayer wasn't quite appropriate, because from the very beginning, Akame and Kurome believed that their Big Sister would definitely return safely.
"Guild Leader, that group of undead is attacking again!" At this moment, a voice came.
"Hoo!" Xiao Mengxue took a deep breath and then drew the weapon at her waist. "Everyone, this is the final battle. After this battle, it will be our victory!"
"Oh!!!"
Although they didn't understand why, this didn't stop them from roaring excitedly.
"Don't be careless, advance steadily, and be careful not to suffer any casualties." Jiang Ya also said, then turned his head to look at Akame and Kurome, "We'll have to rely on you again next."
"Mm, leave it to us." Akame and Kurome said in unison.
"Mm." Jiang Ya nodded. His hand, hidden in the shadows, quietly clenched. Although he didn't show any expression on the surface, he still felt a bit guilty. As the guild's vice-leader, he couldn't do much and having to place the guild's pressure on its members made him feel quite unwilling!
He didn't have any chauvinism, but his sense of responsibility was too heavy. Jiang Ya was a man who could think calmly at any time and had a strong sense of responsibility.
...
Actually, Lingyun City couldn't afford to drag this out, and the undead army couldn't afford to drag this out either.
They knew their own situation; although these small fry barely consumed any magic power, there was nothing to be done about their sheer numbers.
Most importantly, the one thing the Necromancer feared most was that if someone came from the Imperial City to provide support, then it would be all over.
Although it was said that not every Level 6 from the Royal Family was dispatched at will, what if one did come out? That would be truly troublesome.
Level 6, could they wipe out his entire combat force with just a wave of their hand? Thinking about this, a look of desire appeared in the Necromancer's eyes.
Why attack the city? Wasn't it just to reach Level 6? Although the Necromancer's lifespan was very long, the growth rate of his power was also very slow.
And his talent wasn't good, so he couldn't waste time. Although he could let those players go to another world to bring back the resentment that was highly nourishing for him, it was still too slow.
When he obtained that undead forged from a player's physique, his ambition swelled. Relying on the large number of undead nearby, he had actually managed to grind the Player Undead up to Level 5.
Level 5 was already considered the strongest existence in every small city, so the Necromancer came to attack the city—no, he was actually here to slaughter the city!
After the slaughter of the city, that intense resentment and death energy would be highly nourishing for him, capable of helping him step into Level 6.
"Domain of God..." the Necromancer muttered, a burning look in his eyes.
"Eh?" Suddenly, the Necromancer felt something was wrong. The destruction rate of the undead was a bit fast, wasn't it?
Looking closely, the Necromancer saw that group of guys starting a desperate assault as if they didn't care about their lives, heading in his direction, while the Player Undead was still being held back by that woman.
"How troublesome." Intense killing intent appeared in the Necromancer's eyes. That Mo Xue and Li Chen had been hunting him for a long time, causing him to only dare to release 'missions' sneakily.
"Qianhuan Sect, sooner or later, I will bring an army of undead and trample that place."
"Hehehe Now then" The Necromancer's eyes revealed viciousness, "Let your sect's two geniuses be buried here!"
Gahaha, hahahahaha!
What is a genius? Being able to fight above one's level is enough to be called a genius.
Li Chen was Level 3, but he could defeat a conventional Level 4. Mo Xue was Level 4, yet she had been entangled with the Player Undead for so long.
What is a genius? They are the geniuses!
After the Necromancer finished speaking, the few undead beside him rushed onto the battlefield at this moment. He had observed and investigated; all of Lingyun City's combat strength was out. As long as he prevented them from approaching him, it would be fine.
"Hehehe~" The Necromancer's eyes revealed mockery as he watched them trying their best, rushing toward his side, yet everything was in vain.
Hahaha, hahahahaha! Meanwhile, on the side of Lingyun City, Li Chen stood on the city wall, saw the few undead joining the battlefield, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Kaede, it's up to you next."
"Mm." Kaede also saw this scene, but most of her focus was on the battle between Mo Xue and that Level 5, her eyes filled with fear.
The power of that Level 5 causing a large piece of the ground to collapse with a casual punch... was truly terrifying.
"I have already told you the location of that Necromancer, but you must be careful about one thing," Li Chen said.
"Mm?"
"We are not sure if there are any undead guarding him. Although it feels like there will only be some small fry, there is still some danger. If you encounter an unexpected situation, you only need to protect yourself; leave the rest... to me and Mo Xue." As he said this, a trace of loneliness appeared in Li Chen's eyes.
"Understood." Kaede nodded, then tilted her body and leaped down from the city wall.
"Heh, next, it's my time." After Kaede left, Li Chen stood there, looking at the undead army below, his handsome face now somewhat distorted with anger.
Leaping down from the city wall, Li Chen regained his calm in the air, his sword already drawn.
"Blood, Thousand Kills!"
Blood-red sword light fell downward like a tide. This was Li Chen's sword, a sword that was stained with blood the moment it was drawn!
You ask about Silver Light Falling Blade? That was just something used casually at the time; the moonlight was just right, and Li Chen used it on a whim.
Only now was he the true Li Chen, famous for killing, with his Blood Sword Dao invincible under the heavens.
On Mo Xue's side, she also noticed Li Chen's appearance. Her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of helplessness appeared on her face.
Looking at the monster in front of her, another hammer blow was destroyed over...
Her figure moved slightly; the Mo Xue left in place was just an afterimage. The monster's hammer slammed into the ground, and suddenly a large area around it collapsed.
Appearing behind the monster, the sword in Mo Xue's hand also fell onto the monster like an afterimage, but the effect wasn't very ideal.
"Monster." Mo Xue couldn't help but mutter. This was breaking skill with force. Regardless of how many methods Mo Xue had, in the end, the only ones she could use were those few.
However, right now, she had to hold it back! Determination appeared in Mo Xue's eyes; since Li Chen said it was possible, then that little girl must be able to do it.
Meanwhile, Kaede was moving toward the direction of the Necromancer, walking as if no one else was around.
For Kaede, her mission was undoubtedly an assassination.
This was her specialty~!
