48. Surprise Attack!

The one who had appeared just in time to save the day was "Yu Ji" of the Asylum.

After Yu Ji finished speaking, her Special Pet, Black Ape, leaped down from the cliff at her signal, landing where Clownfish and Shi Xinglan had fought earlier.

Clownfish looked utterly disheveled. Her clothes were in tatters, her once-pretty face was covered in blood, and she had even lost an arm.

When she saw Yu Ji appear, the excitement she'd shown earlier was gone. She frowned, her disgust plain as day, without the slightest attempt to hide it.

"Heh... repay you?"

"I was having fun..."

"I won't charge you interest, since you used the Litian Sword twice."

" Heehee..."

The Litian Sword was the most powerful Special Item Clownfish knew of.

Special Items had no specific level classifications, but the gap between them could be enormous.

These Special Items were somewhat like Game Talents: generally, the more powerful they were, the greater the cost of using them.

As far as Clownfish knew, the Litian Sword was a top-tier divine weapon from a cultivation Game World.

Its ability to sever connections had reached a level akin to cutting off karma.

Each time it was used, its wielder's connection to the world grew weaker.

If it was overused, it might completely sever the wielder's connection to all worlds.

That would be a state more terrifying than death.

Yu Ji looked at Clownfish, utterly unconcerned. "Thanks for caring~"

"Using it to this extent doesn't put much of a burden on me."

This Special Item could indeed forcibly sever its wielder's connection to the Death Game, allowing them to escape the game in a desperate situation.

But the cost would be far too great.

Unless death was certain, Yu Ji would never do such a thing.
