A counterkill within a counterkill, no good people

This is terrifying.

And all of them must be high-level life forms at max rank... It seems that they cannot be defeated by force, only by strategy.

His gaze swept coldly over the figures chasing ahead; the fleeing alien race seemed to have lost some of its initial momentum.

Their speed also slowed down a bit, and it looked like they were about to be forced to move forward.

But why is he still lingering here?

At this moment, it would be the logical course of action to flee towards one's own tribe or send a message for help.

Could it be that... their range of movement and means of communication are both restricted?

A quick scan of the surroundings revealed an invisible, binding force permeating the vicinity.

He initially thought it was this world rejecting him, but compared to when he first entered this world, the feeling of constraint he felt here was even more severe.

This was clearly caused by human intervention.

This seems to be the reason why the pursuers behind them are so fearless.

As he was pondering this, he noticed that some of the pursuers had already noticed the change.

The leader, his face contorted with shock and rage, abandoned his target and charged straight at him!

Kun Bing was fleeing ahead, had already resigned himself to certain death and was about to launch a desperate counterattack, hoping to drag one or two people down with him to the underworld, when he turned around and saw that the Bloodthirsty Tribe pursuers were missing another person— Shi Ming had turned to kill the newly appeared alt account.

How come one person is missing? Could it be...?

In a flash, he seemed to realize something, and immediately turned and rushed towards the location of the small cardboard sign.

"My friend! I'm here to help you! Let's join forces to fight the enemy!"

Kun Bing had already discerned that this person who suddenly appeared was either hiding his true strength or possessed a terrifying instant-kill technique, as he was able to kill a Bloodthirsty Tribe member without taking any damage.

Either way, it represents a turning point in the current desperate situation.

The initial contempt had long since vanished—today, perhaps it wasn't a certain death sentence!

Zhang Mingzhen did not respond to Kun Bing's shouts, his entire focus was on the Shi Ming's incoming attack.

This person was clearly extremely arrogant. Even though his companions had been killed, he still treated him as nothing and attacked him head-on without any roundabout tactics!

Zhang Mingzhen tried to dodge, but found that he couldn't.

Another targeted attack.

Does a higher-order unit suppress a lower-order unit?

"Critical Hit!"

As the leader, with the shield amplified, this attack was still more than 80,000 stronger than the previous one, instantly wiping out half of Zhang Mingzhen's health.

Shi Ming also abandoned his carelessness, his expression turning serious: it was indeed not a fluke, this low-level player was indeed strange.

He's not a brain-dead NPC with reduced intelligence; he's a normal person.

The opponent is very strong.

It was so strong that he had to use his trump card.

Meanwhile, the target Kun Bing, had drawn the other three hunters closer, and the number of people in the battle circle was gradually increasing.

Zhang Mingzhen immediately summoned back the Nine Yin Candle Dragon —it could be used for a sneak attack in a one-on-one fight, but with more people, its massive body would easily become the target of everyone's attacks.

Kun Bing landed beside him and said urgently, "Fellow Daoist, let's join forces and defeat them first! I excel at swift attacks, what about you?"

Zhang Mingzhen did not answer, but instead asked, "Why don't you call your clansmen to come and help?"

Kun Bing's expression darkened. "The Isolation Barrier has been activated. This area is completely sealed off. No one and no information can be transmitted out—unless the time limit expires or the caster dies."

Just as expected.

Zhang Mingzhen stirred; this was exactly what he wanted.

"Young man, how are you doing right now?"

"How many can you hold off? Help me keep those three at bay. If I can fight their Captain Shi Ming, one-on-one, I might have a chance of winning!"

"Ridiculous." Shi Ming almost sneered out loud upon hearing this. "Kun Bing, you're already at your last gasp, yet you still dare to dream of defeating me in a one-on-one fight? You overestimate yourself."

"No need."

Zhang Mingzhen interrupted the standoff between the two and said briefly to Kun Bing, "You deal with the other three. Give me one minute."

Before he could finish speaking, he had already made his move, sending a burst of skill light straight towards Shi Ming.

Upon seeing this, Gao Linzhi couldn't help but shake his head.

These NPCs, as expected, have had their minds clouded by the game.

The other party is speaking; is this guy, Shi Ming, just going to stand by and watch?

This kind of idiot, I have no idea how he's still alive.

When the enemy speaks, you should launch a surprise attack.

"How dare you!" Shi Ming really didn't expect that this player, who was not even at the maximum level, would dare to take the initiative to attack him.

When did a junior who hadn't even reached the maximum level dare to provoke him like this?

Anger surged into his heart.

He had lost his mind; he had forgotten that the other party had just killed his companion, so why didn't he dare to provoke him?

Kun Bing wanted to say something more, but seeing that the other party had already engaged in combat with Shi Ming, he could only smile bitterly, turn around, and firmly trap the remaining three people.

I never expected to encounter such a reckless character; the last glimmer of hope I had was about to be shattered.

It seems his only option is to wait for an opportunity to escape and try to protect his teammates.

The Kunyu Tribe's agility is unparalleled among the many races in the God's Domain; almost no one can match their speed.

Even outnumbered, Kun Bing was confident he could hold off three Bloodthirsty Tribe players.

However, the Bloodthirsty Tribe also has its unique features: they can form a special resonance based on the number of players of the same clan, gaining additional benefits.

The larger the team, the more significant the bonus.

Rumor has it that a full squad of a hundred Bloodthirsty Tribe players can even double their combat power.

Fortunately, this resonance is limited by distance.

With Shi Ming lured away by the strange youth, he was now facing three people alone and should be safe for the time being.

However, if the battle drags on without a decisive victory, the situation becomes uncertain.

As her thoughts raced, Kun Bing couldn't help but glance at the two figures locked in fierce combat in the distance.

"Huh?"

He suddenly realized that the seemingly dominant Shi Ming was losing life at a rate that could no longer be compensated for by bloodsucking.

The opponent's health is decreasing at a visible rate.

There is hope!

That young man must possess some great treasure or special opportunity.

Countless thoughts flashed through Kun Bing in an instant.

Shi Ming never imagined that he would be forced into this situation by an opponent who was not even at the maximum level.

Despite using all his skills in turn, he was still unable to break through the opponent's almost superhuman recovery ability.

His own health had already dropped below the danger level, and if this continued...

He didn't realize that he was already very capable.

After all, Zhang Mingzhen a player with cheat codes. He can still avoid being instantly killed and can still maneuver around. That's the level of a boss.

This is not the time to worry about saving face.

"Help me quickly!"

He shouted hoarsely to his three companions in the distance.

While the Isolation Barrier can cut off the opponent's connection with the outside world, the user inside is also subject to restrictions.

He had no way to ask for help from outside and could only rely on his current teammates.

However, they are now in a dilemma.

The Captain was actually at a disadvantage and even had to call for help?

The three Bloodthirsty Tribe players immediately abandoned their pursuit of Kun Bing and turned to rush to his aid.

But Kun Bing, who was well-prepared, would not let them have their way. In an instant, he activated the Kunyu Tribe Innate Secret Technique — Relative Weakness!

Once this skill is used, it can simultaneously weaken both the caster and the target, reducing all their attributes by half.

The weakness is only removed when the enemy dies, and the caster is granted an additional buff.

This was originally Kun Bing's planned last resort.

Especially after witnessing Shi Ming gradually weakening—as long as he could hold off these three and prevent them from joining Shi Ming would surely die.

When the two join forces to eliminate the remaining enemies, he will not only be able to remove the weakness, but also stack three layers of buffs.

By then, he would no longer need to be afraid, even when facing that mysterious young man.

Who could have predicted that a player who hadn't even reached the maximum level would possess such terrifying combat power...?

"No--!"

After all his skills proved ineffective, "Shi Ming" was terrified and desperate. Finally, under Zhang Mingzhen's relentless onslaught, his health bar was depleted and his figure vanished.

The remaining three Bloodthirsty Tribe players' expressions changed drastically. They could no longer care about anything else and turned to flee.

Their advantage had vanished. This suddenly appearing alien youth was far stronger than anticipated, and with Kun Bing watching them with predatory eyes, they had no chance of winning. Why risk their lives?

Previously, they were the ones chasing after others, trying to close the distance, but now the roles have completely reversed—even though the three of them are in weakened condition, they are desperately trying to escape the scene!

Seeing this, Kun Bing gritted his teeth and used his control skills to hold off the three of them.

"Young man, come quick! I can't hold on much longer!"

He himself was already weakened, and being able to unleash this control move was already his limit.

Zhang Mingzhen had noticed them long ago.

The three men's attributes and speed were greatly reduced due to their weakness, making them no match for him at all. They were completely defeated in just a few moves.

The bloodline power within the Netherblood Orb slowly rose to 0.05%.

Kun Bing, who had escaped danger and gained additional buffs, was beaming with excitement:

"Young man, I Kun Bing, thank you in return."

"If I hadn't met you today, I'm afraid I would have met a terrible end."

"I wonder which race you belong to? Judging from your strength before reaching the level cap, your life level must be extremely high!"

His words carried a probing tone—he clearly sensed that Zhang Mingzhen's Life Level was not higher than his own.

Higher life forms have an innate sensitivity to lower life forms. He sensed resistance from this mysterious player due to racial suppression, which indicated that the other party's level was lower than his own.

But he couldn't understand: why could a player with a lower Life Level and not yet at the maximum level possess combat power comparable to his own?

What is so special about this person?

There must be some secret treasure. If I get the chance, I must betray him!

Hopefully, this guy is still a greenhorn.

Passionate and naive.

"My life level isn't high; I'm just carrying Holy Relic of my race."

"This Holy Relic has the effect of boosting strength across ranks," Zhang Mingzhen answered crisply.

Oh, I see! That explains it!

A clan's Holy Relic often possess indescribable and mysterious power, and can even affect the fate of the entire clan!

The player standing before him was someone possessing Holy Relic —and of all people, he had run into him alone!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Kun Bing's eyes flashed repeatedly, and his original idea of summoning his clansmen for support was instantly extinguished.

His attributes were still boosted, and there were only the two of them around. If they made a move now...

Wouldn't that mean the Holy Relic would fall into his hands?

In this way, his status within the Kunyu Tribe will surely rise dramatically!

His mind was racing, but his face remained calm.

While expressing his gratitude to Zhang Mingzhen, he carefully observed the other's expression.

Seeing that the other party seemed completely unguarded, Kun Bing seized the opportunity and said, "Young man, why don't you come back with me for a while?"

I really need to thank you properly!

"This isn't very convenient, it's too inconvenient."

"Not at all, our Kunyu Tribe has always been warm and hospitable." This was obviously a lie.

The Kunyu Tribe is notorious for its xenophobia, second only to the Asians.

The war with the Bloodthirsty Tribe was initiated by them—they simply do not tolerate the existence of other races in the Cangwu Realm; their aggressiveness is ingrained in their very bones!

Therefore, what appears to be a case of the many oppressing the few is actually a righteous hunt.

Therefore, do not attempt to save people without first seeing the facts.

Of course, Zhang Mingzhen wasn't trying to save anyone; he was only trying to protect himself.

"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer."

Zhang Mingzhen appeared quite interested in the Kunyu Tribe's territory, his expression innocent.

"Haha, great! I'll set up the Teleportation Array right away."

"Our Kunyu Tribe is skilled in formations and can directly teleport people to their destination. Please wait a moment."

Kun Bing excitedly took out various materials and began to draw on the ground. Before long, a complex array had taken shape.

"Alright, let's go. Young man, please."

He gestured for Zhang Mingzhen to step into the formation, but the latter only looked at the patterns on the ground and did not move.

"Do I look stupid and easy to fool?" Zhang Mingzhen looked at the formation with a sense of helplessness.

He had intended to spend more time with him, but he never expected the other party to treat him like a fool.

Although he couldn't recognize most of the patterns in the dark array, he vaguely recognized some of the patterns—similar traces had appeared in the seal of the Azurewave Clan.

That seal was designed to imprison Demon Race; how could he have walked into such a formation without even realizing it?

"What a pity... I was hoping to save some trouble." Kun Bing dropped his pretense, his face full of greed. "Why don't you just go in obediently? I might even give you a quick death."

"Or, if you voluntarily hand over the Holy Relic, I might consider letting you go."

"You want the Holy Relic? --" Zhang Mingzhen slowly raised his eyes, "Then you'll have to come and get it yourself."

"I've never been one to appreciate kindness."

"Then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Kun Bing knew that the buffs on her body had a time limit, and in order to avoid any unforeseen complications, she had to act immediately!

With his combat power tripled, Kun Bing's strength is now incomparable to what it used to be. Even if he were to encounter Shi Ming and his ilk again, he would never suffer the same predicament as before.

He was moving so fast that he was just a blur, his trajectory impossible to discern.

Zhang Mingzhen was also unable to pinpoint the opponent's location, so he could only silently replenish his Buff Potion, shifting his defense to a passive stance and waiting for the opponent to launch an attack.

"Kunming Sharp Wings!" Kun Bing was clearly skilled in ranged magic, able to launch attacks from a distance.

However, once a move is made, the speed will inevitably be affected, and the figure will be exposed.

Sure enough, the moment countless sharp blades of energy pierced through the air, Kun Bing's figure flashed into view.

Zhang Mingzhen seized this fleeting opportunity and flung out Vine in an attempt to restrain them.

"Critical hit!"

"Critical hit!"

He dodged the attacks while simultaneously healing himself.

Kun Bing's expression became increasingly distorted, while Zhang Mingzhen's health bar fluctuated wildly.

Fortunately, his healing abilities improved day by day, and he never encountered the danger of being instantly defeated.

Moreover, upon arriving in the new location, the system temporarily unlocked the Talent Seal for him.

After all, a new place might hold new clues to resurrection...

In fact, this was one of Gao Linzhi's whips.

Don't think about exploiting, monopolizing, and squeezing existing players through cruelty. You must be enterprising, innovative, and develop your own strategies to gain access to cheats.
