Tier 4 Draw, Tier 3 Takes the Stage

"Boom!"

"Whoosh--!"

The Middle Sea, the former home of the Divine Favor Octopus Clan.

After Ka's third avatar left with the entire Octopus Community's buildings, the place had become somewhat empty...

And now...

After the violent explosion, this "sea area," even the seawater, disappeared briefly!

A vacuum zone, several kilometers in diameter, with the seabed sediment directly exposed, appeared here.

Furthermore, the seabed is no longer flat; a huge crater has clearly appeared!

Just now, when that Forbidden Spell, "Ten Thousand Stars Burned Away, Evil Flames Fall from the Sky," was about to engulf the Swordsman...

He used his "Heart Domain" to comprehend an unnamed sword technique.

And this sword move...

This is precisely the Forbidden Spell that can be "broken".

Of course, this solution was clearly not a matter of a "Swordsman" swinging a sword and instantly obliterating this massive, destructive Forbidden Spell.

Such overwhelming energy, such a massive amount of magic... there is no way to easily neutralize it.

Therefore, the "break" technique that the Swordsman comprehended was not a way to make the Forbidden Spell disappear and save himself from harm...

Instead...

The method to infuse this Forbidden Spell with one's own power, allowing it to completely break free from the control of the "Celestial King".

Although I couldn't escape it...

However, Swordsman can drag the "Celestial King" down with him... and perish together!

So after that sword strike...

This Forbidden Spell unleashed a terrifying explosion that could be observed throughout the entire Nether Void Realm.

Hundreds of kilometers of seawater evaporated, and a large crater appeared on the seabed here due to the impact.

And at the bottom of this huge pit...

Located at the epicenter of the explosion, "Swordsman" and "Celestial King" were lying covered in blood and wounds, temporarily incapacitated.

Let alone Combat Power...

These two are now completely incapable of taking action.

The reason why the two people are still alive and even conscious is because of their profound "Tier 4" background.

"What a... troublesome guy."

The "Celestial King," practically submerged in his own blood, spat out the blood foam from his mouth, looked in the direction of the "Swordsman," and then laughed.

"Hey, but... you look pretty disheveled—indeed, when it comes to battle-worn appearances, someone like me with a good foundation looks better."

The "Swordsman" over there lay sprawled on the seabed, his body twisted into Three-Fold shape, with countless bones broken throughout his body.

Hearing the "Celestial King's" mockery, the "Swordsman," head down, struggled to move his still-usable Right Hand, pulled out a Fei Dao, and aimed it at the spot where the "Celestial King" had spoken...

"Bass!"

The Fei Dao was thrown, but unfortunately, it lacked the force and embedded itself in the Celestial King's shoulder.

The Celestial King laughed loudly, "Don't waste your energy... You can't kill him—now, the outcome is no longer in our hands."

"It lies not so much in... the people we brought."

Upon hearing the Celestial King's words, the Swordsman was upside down, finally spoke up.

"Then you're doomed—you only brought one person, while we have four—and there's also 'Dionysus,' 'Knight,' and 'Xiao Nian'... these three 'Tier 3' combined could easily defeat you."

The Celestial King laughed and said, "That's hard to say... The one I brought is 'Ling Xian'."

Upon hearing this name, the Swordsman remained silent for a moment before asking, "Isn't he supposed to be weak? Why are you so confident... Is our information incorrect?"

The Celestial King shook his head.

"Of course not... it's just that 'Ling Xian' will find help herself."

As the Celestial King spoke, the seawater that had evaporated from the sky turned into rain and began to fall, while the seawater on both sides began to flow back into the giant crater created by the explosion.

The seawater submerged their figures, and along with the seawater came...

The two "Player" who had just retreated to the sidelines are now rushing back.

"Swordsman... Are you alright?"

The tall figure of the "Knight" appeared and carried the "Swordsman" on the ground.

"I'm fine—don't worry about me, I won't die anytime soon—go see if you can kill 'Celestial King'!"

The Swordsman spoke, but the Knight did not put him down.

"Let 'Dionysus' go; she's recovered a lot, and her attack power is stronger now..."

And as the Knight finished speaking...

From the "Celestial King" side, a soft, magnetic young male voice rang out.

"It's not time for 'treating the wounded' and 'finishing off' yet, everyone in 'Order'... It's a tie at 'Tier 4,' now it's our turn at 'Tier 3.'"

The Knight raised his head and looked at the opposite side—the plain-looking "girl" wearing glasses and a white T-shirt stood in front of the Celestial King, looking confident and carefree.

"Be careful... this is 'Ling Xian' of the Marauders '—' Celestial King's seems quite confident in him, I wonder how long he's been hiding."

The Swordsman spoke in a low voice, which grew weaker and weaker until finally...

He temporarily lost consciousness.

The "Knight" gently patted his colleague on the shoulder.

"Ling Xian? I understand, I'll be careful!"

Clearly, the "Knight" also had some knowledge of the "Marauders '" higher-ups, knowing that they were positioned as "administrators" and "strategists"...

However, reminded by the "Knight," the "Swordsman" naturally wouldn't let his guard down.

He looked at "Ling Xian" in front of him with a solemn expression.

Then...

Several other members of "Order" arrived at the scene and appeared behind "Knight," creating a four-on-one situation.

The "Knight" quickly spoke up, relaying the "Swordsman's" words.

"The 'Celestial King' is now Combat Power, but we must be wary of the ' Marauders ''s 'Ling Xian' —this guy seems a bit strange!"

After speaking, the Knight looked at the figure standing next to "Dionysus" Yin Lan and "Xiao Nian" with some surprise.

"Wait, no... Director, didn't we agree that you should stay put and wait for orders? This place is too dangerous for someone like you who's only at the Tier 2!"

After thinking for a moment, the "Director" said, "I think... I should be able to help too."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure I'm safe and won't hold you back."

The situation was urgent, and the Knight didn't dwell on it too much, simply nodding.

"Okay... but you should still keep an eye on 'Swordsman' first, to prevent him from being ambushed—and you also have the 'Doctor' ability, right?—help 'Swordsman' as much as you can, and see if you can speed up his recovery."

The Knight handed the "Swordsman" to the "Director."

The Director took over the role of "the Swordsman," and then...

Yin Lan also spoke up, "Let's go, 'Knight' —no matter what's strange about that 'Ling Xian' on the other side... at least on the surface he's just one person. Let's finish this as quickly as possible!"

Meanwhile, the girl in sportswear next to Yin Lan, who was codenamed "Xiao Nian" and was a "Player," also spoke up with great energy.

"That's right... If we're lucky, we might be able to wipe out both of the 'Marauders' deputy ministers of Yanjing this time!"

This "Xiao Nian" is naturally a "Tier 3" "Player" and also a high-ranking member of "Order".

And the position she holds...

Previously, I was the Administrator Yanjing City.

And now...

He is the head of the North China Region for "Order".

Although her name isn't on the Rankings, her position and area of responsibility alone reveal...

This girl is also a master among masters within the "Order".

She looked at the "Ling Xian" in front of her and moved her joints slightly.

Then, Xiao Nian spoke up.

"It's a bit of a stretch to ask the 'Director' to take care of the 'Swordsman'... but we can't worry about that now."

"Knight, you'll continue to focus on support and protection. Dionysus, since you're injured, just stand by for a bit... I'll take care of the breakthroughs and the vanguard!"

"Anyway, these two guys have always been active in North China, so I know them a little better than you guys do!"

Xiao Nian spoke, then, without waiting for a reply from "Knight" and "Dionysus"...

"Whoosh--!"

Her figure shot out like an arrow released from a bow, and she pulled out... in mid-air.

A real Bow and Arrows.

She drew her bow in mid-air, aimed in the direction of "Ling Xian," and closed one eye to aim.

"Long time no see, Ling Xian... You're still as prone to bluffing as ever."

"Whoosh!"

The iron arrow was released, exploded in the air, and turned into dozens of beams of light that shot towards "Ling Xian".

Ling Xian neither dodged nor evaded, allowing the Light Arrows to pierce his body and solidify back into more than ten Entities arrows.

"Pfft!"

Blood spurted from Ling Xian's body, and Ling Xian grimaced, revealing a pained expression.

"It has indeed been a long time, Xiao Nian —why are you still using this bow from when you were at 'Tier 2'?"

"You should know that this kind of attack is ineffective against me."

Ling Xian spoke, she reached out, pulled out an arrow, and threw it on the ground.

And after he drew his Bow and Arrows...

The wound, which had been bleeding profusely, began to heal rapidly—in just a fraction of a second, as if it had never been injured at all.

Ling Xian did not Deception Lin Yu —in a sense, he did indeed possess near-immortal regenerative abilities.

Moreover, this ability seems to have no limitations—because when the wound was healing just now, almost no energy fluctuations appeared.

Xiao Nian didn't seem surprised by this.

"I didn't intend to kill or defeat you with this move. I haven't used this bow in a long time..."

"I just wanted to make you feel pain."

Xiao Nian said coldly, and then...

"Bang!"

She walked up to Ling Xian kicked him in the throat.

"Snap!"

Ling Xian's neck tilted back and bent at a terrifying angle.

But Xiao Nian was still not careless, and immediately used the "Order" Standard-Issue Dagger to finish off Ling Xian near the heart.

"Snap!"

Ling Xian collapsed to the ground, falling silent.

However, Xiao Nian still did not consider the person in front of him to be dead.

She stepped onto Ling Xian's chest and asked in a cold voice.

"So... Ling Xian, what's your backup plan?"

"If you don't reveal it now, it will be too late!"
