Frenzied Slashing? Instant Kill!

Yue Mei drew a long, winding, snake-shaped sword and accurately parried Yang Shan's Thunder Guiding Blade!

Yang Shan lost 102 points of health! Although Yang Shan is only Nine-Star Great Fighter, he activated the sword aura of the "Tyrant Blade", and Yue Mei did not even use her Dou Qi.

After parrying, Yang Shan ended up losing health.

The Golden Word Seal on the panel is indeed Exceeding the Standard!

Yue Mei scoffed. "That's it? You're not even qualified to make me activate my Dou Qi Armor!"

Yue Mei deflected Yang Shan's Thunder Guiding Blade and launched an attack! Yang Shan was incredibly fast and moved with unpredictable movements. Despite Yue Mei's various sword techniques of thrusting, parrying, and slashing, she couldn't touch Yang Shan even once.

This made Yue Mei, who had been confident of victory, somewhat irritated:

"He's jumping around like a rabbit!"

"Do you know that a rabbit is only good for being food in front of a snake?"

"Keep running, let's see how long you can keep going!"

"A mere Nine-Star Great Fighter? Yue Mei you is as easy as turning my hand!"

Why won't you speak!

Yue Mei saw that she had said a lot of harsh words, but Yang Shan seemed to be deaf and did not respond at all.

However, his steps remained brisk, and Yue Mei had to admit a fact.

Even though she is currently at the Dou Ling level, without using Dou Technique, she really has no way to deal with a Nine-Star Great Fighter!

"Three Snakes Entanglement!"

The Dou Qi on the Serpent Sword surged, and as Yue Mei swung it, the Dou Qi condensed into three lifelike purple snakes that pounced towards Yang Shan.

It looks like a restricted Dou Technique similar to "Thunder Guiding Lock".

"Where do you think you're going to run now!"

This restrictive Dou Technique also has a certain tracking ability. Yue Mei was certain that Yang Shan would not be able to dodge it, so she could confidently unleash her ultimate move.

Their goal was to blast Yang Shan into dust in one fell swoop!

"With my strength reduced to the Dou Ling, it's indeed a bit difficult to activate Mystic Rank Advanced Dou Skills, hmm?"

Yue Mei hadn't even finished mobilizing her Dou Qi yet.

The sudden surge of domineering power seemed to be pressing her down into the sand.

The scales on Yue Mei Mei's slender snake body below her waist all shrank.

This is similar to getting goosebumps due to excessive fear.

The purple light emanating from the lightning on the Thunder Guiding Blade shone on Yue Mei's pale face.

"Earth-rank Dou Technique? Fifth-Order Beast Lightning?"

Yue Mei was completely numb.

"Could this be Da Dou Shi? Shouldn't this be something only Dou Wang possesses?"

From the very beginning, Yang Shan did nothing but stack sword techniques and dodge.

Because Yue Mei was too irritable from beginning to end.

They underestimated Yang Shan.

They believed that with her experience and combat skills at the Dou Wang level, it was only natural that she could defeat Da Dou Shi, even if her cultivation level dropped to Dou Ling.

Now, Yue Mei stubbornly believes that her restrictive Dou Technique can trap Yang Shan, and confidently prepares to unleash her ultimate move.

All the Dou Qi was used to power up the ultimate move, so there was no way to simultaneously draw upon Dou Qi to condense the Dou Qi Armor.

Yue Mei made the most common mistake in battle:

arrogant.

So what awaits her is—the "Tyrant Blade - Seven Kills" empowered by the Ape King Violet Lightning! So what if it Golden Word Seal? If those NPCs who died at Yang Shan's hands were in front of Yue Mei now, they would definitely say, "When you fight this freak, why don't you activate your Dou Qi Armor first? Do you think you're Medusa Queen?"

Yang Shan originally intended to "slash the Snake-People- woman wildly".

But Yue Mei gave him this opportunity.

There's nothing we can do.

Yang Shan can only use one move: "Instantly kill the female Snake-People".

Thunder Guiding Blade slashed directly at Yue Mei's crown.

Logically speaking, the skull should be the hardest bone in most living beings' bodies.

But faced with a terrifying destructive power approaching nine thousand points, the skull was as fragile as paper! The sharp blade sliced down, and the fifth-level Ape King Violet Lightning roasted Yue Mei's delicate body until it smelled burnt!

Ruthless and merciless, destroying flowers without batting an eye! [Ding! Congratulations to the player for completing the Heart Demon Trial and breaking through to a one- Dou Ling. Meridians attributes +20, Free Attribute +15. Note: Each Dou Ling level grants 4 Meridians points and 15 Free Attribute points.]

[Ding! Global Announcement: Congratulations to player "Yang Shan" for becoming the first player in the entire server to break through to the Dou Ling, earning the title "Number One Dou Ling Under Heaven," and rewarding you with +5 Free Spiritual Root, +15 Meridians, +4 Comprehension, and +4 Good Fortune!]

Thunder Spirit Root: 15 Fire Spirit Root: 4; Wood Spirit Root: 1; Remaining Usable Spirit Roots: 16; Level: One -Dou Ling.

If we were to nitpick and find fault with this panel, it would probably be the section on martial arts techniques.

"Thunderclap Skill" was indeed a top-tier skill in version 1.0 when the server opened.

But now it's holding us back a bit.

Yang Shan also recalled the opportunities he had for the two Xuan-level cultivation techniques.

But often plans can't keep up with changes.

Yang Shan's development in Cloud Frost City was so interconnected that he couldn't spare enough time from these tasks to acquire cultivation techniques.

However, Yang Shan was also somewhat unlucky.

There have been quite a few lightning-attribute NPCs killed in Cloud Frost City, but none of them have ever dropped a skill that surpasses the "Thunderclap Skill".

But things are better now.

There are plenty of Xuan-rank cultivation techniques in the Bloodshed Hall! At the very least, in the Black-Corner Region, killing an NPC guarantees you'll get one of their items as a loot drop.

Obtaining high-level cultivation techniques is a piece of cake! Yang Shan didn't even bother with those two opportunities.

These two opportunities are triggered by a reclusive Dou Ling master, and require completing multiple quests before finally obtaining the inheritance.

It will take at least ten days (game time) to complete.

Black-Corner Region is still the best place.

How fast can murder and robbery be? Yang Shan got up, preparing to head to Dusk City.

It's time to advance to the Silver Killer level!

Just three seconds after Yang Shan triggered the Global Announcement, Bai Xiaosheng posted a thread. "Number One Dou Ling: Yang Shan!"

Bai Xiaosheng is truly skilled at writing posts.

It's safe to say that Bai Xiaosheng probably wrote this post ten days to half a month ago.

They were just waiting for Yang Shan to trigger the announcement, so they could be the first to release it and get a lot of player responses.

ID Chao Bafang: Hey hey hey! I got the first comment! Great God!

ID Ye Suifeng: @Chao Bafang, what's with your hand speed? I saw the announcement and immediately opened the forum to find Bai Xiaosheng's post. I knew Bai Xiaosheng was a fast poster, but I didn't expect you to be this fast! ID Mei Yangyang Does Not Double Standard: What's the use of being fast at reserving posts? Look at Yang Great God, he levels up so fast, ah, I love him! ID Yi Qingyang: Sigh, he really is too fast!

ID Tam Law: I feel like you guys are going very fast. @Mei Yangyang Does Not Double Standard, aren't you going to chase Lin Xiuya?

ID Mei Yangyang Does Not Double Standard: I thought about it again, Lin Xiuya is an NPC, and Yang Great God is a player, so there's no conflict. Ah! Why doesn't Yang Great God post? I really want to add him as a friend. Last time he helped me fend off those perverts from the Tian Hao Alliance, ah... I really love him.

ID Wang Tianhao: Damn! ID Gynecology Research Specialist: Mei Yangyang Does Not Double Standard, I'm so done! ID Bao Yin Bao Shi: Dou Ling? I don't believe it!

ID "Damn it, still trying to argue": Hey upstairs, don't you want something to eat? ID "I'm Ya Fei's Dog": I failed to advance to Da Dou Shi! They deducted 5,000 experience points from me. I just came out and saw Yang One-Blade already at Dou Ling. Damn it, I'm two major realms behind!

ID Retired Argumentative Expert: Upstairs, why don't you change your name? Just search it on the forum; Ya Fei has at least 40 points of favorability with Yang Great God. Once the Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya's Friendship System is implemented, don't you have any idea what shape Ya Fei will take? ID I am Xiao Mei's Dog: Upstairs, thanks, I've already changed my name! ID Xiao Aotian: You son of a bitch, I have 40 points of favorability with Xiao Mei, are you sure you want to use this name?

ID Woof Woof Woof: Changing this name shouldn't be a problem, right?

ID Lucky Poison Hand: Bro upstairs, what exactly did you go through to become such a simp?

Most players seem to have gotten used to Yang Shan being the only one to have this Global Announcement.

It would be truly a rare occurrence if someone else actually obtained the Global Announcement one day.

Yang Shan himself can answer this question.

Sooner or later, other players will receive the Global Announcement.

Furthermore, more and more players will receive Global Announcement.

Because the scope of the Global Announcement is not limited to level and monster kills.

However, the other triggering conditions are too demanding for current players.

Yang Shan walked hurriedly down the street and left through the west gate shortly afterward.

The Dusk City is located northwest of the Black Seal City, with the two cities approximately two hundred miles apart.

Yang Shan summoned the Hoof Shadow and ruffled Hoof Shadow mane:

"Hoof Shadow, I'll have to trouble you a bit."

The Hoof Shadow snorted, and the two front hooves stomped somewhat rapidly.

Yang Shan whispered, "I know, I know, it's okay."

Yang Shan mounted his horse and pulled on the reins. "Go!"

The Hoof Shadow began to gallop forward.

The moment we left the main road into the city and stepped into the mountains and forests.

Several streams of Dou Qi rushed towards Yang Shan! Earlier, both he and Hoof Shadow had sensed an unusual fluctuation ahead.

Therefore, Yang Shan always held the Mount Token in his hand, and immediately withdrew the Hoof Shadow when the opponent launched an attack.

Upon landing, Yang Shan instantly retreated three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

All the Dou Qi missed its mark and exploded on the ground.

The Fire Cloud Robe fluttered in the wind.

Yang Shan carefully assessed the numbers. "Fifteen!"

Looking up, I saw quite a few people in the woods.

Every single one of them was at the Da Dou Shi level! But upon closer inspection, there were only fourteen of them.

One person is still lurking in the shadows.

Moreover, that aura was at the Dou Ling level!

"The NPCs in Black Seal City are so enthusiastic. They give you a ride when you enter the city and another when you leave."

When Yang Shan fights, he's the type who's all talk and no action.

But we can still chat for a bit before the fight starts.

Yang Shan looked at the clothes these NPCs were wearing.

Eight Gates! As expected of the Black-Corner Region, they pay protection money within the city, but once outside, they rob and plunder! There are quite a few of them.

Yang Shan quietly took out two mutated Magic Core from his Storage Ring.

"That's a good idea, let's give it a try!"
