Sword rises and falls!

In less than a second, the reincarnators who had been attacking Li Wei all collapsed to the ground. In an instant, Li Wei had severed the nerves controlling their movement with his sword. Unless a reincarnator with healing abilities treated them, they would not be able to stand up.

The Heavenly Sword might have difficulty breaking through the monster's shell, but dealing with a few reincarnators shouldn't be a problem.

"Go! Kill him!" Lin Sheng's expression was already extremely ferocious.

Li Wei's strength completely exceeded his expectations. At this moment, he vaguely felt that this decision had been somewhat hasty. But what's done is done, and an arrow shot cannot be retrieved. Even if he had made a wrong decision, he could only go down that path to the bitter end.

And this was the second wrong decision he made, and the most fatal one!

In an instant, Li Wei was in front of Lin Sheng. The latter had no idea how Li Wei had traversed dozens of meters in a flash. In a panic, he hastily took out the level 5 magic card, 'Ghost's Sorrow'.

"Go to hell!"

Suddenly, Lin Sheng activated the magic card.

Instantly, the card exploded, transforming into dozens of blue-faced, fanged demons that howled and pounced on Li Wei.

In the blink of an eye, Li Wei was enveloped by these evil spirits.

"Haha, let you be so arrogant. These evil spirits corrode bones and souls. If an ordinary person gets even a little bit of them, they will surely die. You think you're so capable? If you have the guts, break through these evil spirits of mine too..." Before he could finish speaking, a series of crackling thunderclaps were heard.

The birds that inhabited the Jungle scattered out of the trees, clearly quite frightened by the thunder.

Lin Sheng was also taken aback.

The dozens of evil spirits were scattered and vanished into thin air in the blink of an eye under the white lightning. It is common knowledge that ghosts and spirits fear the power of lightning the most; even the most ferocious ghosts cannot contend with lightning.

Lin Sheng was completely dumbfounded.

Li Wei withdrew his finger and stared at the other person as if he were looking at a dead man.

"You... you can't kill me, my brother is..." Before Lin Sheng could finish speaking, Li Wei's Heavenly Sword flashed and severed Lin Sheng's head.

Staring in disbelief, Lin Sheng's head rolled to the ground. His headless corpse thudded for a couple of moments before falling still.

"You... you actually killed him?" Bao Ling stared at what was happening before her eyes, her face filled with disbelief.

Li Wei nodded noncommittally, then held the Heavenly Sword horizontally in his hand, as if he had done something insignificant. The remaining two or three reincarnators were terrified and dared not utter another sound.

"Sigh!" Bao Ling hesitated, clearly thinking of the power behind Lin Sheng. But Li Wei killing someone didn't seem wrong, after all, Lin Sheng was the one who wanted to kill him first.

"What should I do now? I don't trust these people anymore. I didn't expect them to betray me after just two sentences from Lin Sheng!" Bao Ling stared at the few reincarnators who had just sided with Lin Sheng, her expression showing disgust, but more than that, it was exhaustion.

She had poured her heart and soul into running this reincarnation team, and it could be said that she valued each and every member very much. But in the end, it was these very same companions who betrayed her, and this incident completely chilled her heart.

Fortunately, Li Sharp Axe stood by his side at the last moment.

Those few reincarnators also felt ashamed to stay here, but since Li Wei didn't say anything, they really didn't dare to make any rash moves.

"Get out of here! Don't let me see you again. If I do, I'll cut off your limbs and throw you into the Velociprey's lair!" Li Wei said, a ferocious expression on his face.

These words were like a pardon. The reincarnators hurriedly bowed and thanked Li Wei profusely, then fled into the Jungle without looking back.

Before long, only Li Wei, Bao Ling, and Sharp Axe remained at the scene.

These two clearly regarded Li Wei as their pillar of support at this moment.

"Here are two flight cards. We're still thirty kilometers from the Hunter Village. Let's fly there!" Li Wei no longer intended to hide his strength and simply took out two cards and tossed them over.

Bao Ling and Sharp Axe took the card blankly, not knowing what to say at all.

This day brought them far too many shocks.

Flying cards are incredibly rare in the real world, often worth a fortune and rarely even seen. Yet Li Wei casually tossed out two of them, making them feel like they were living in a dream.

"Are we really going to use this card?" Sharp Axe asked hesitantly, gripping the card tightly in his hand.

Seeing that Li Wei had finished harvesting the Yian Kut-Ku's corpse and was already flying away using a flight card, Bao Ling said with some reluctance, "Use it, Sharp Axe. Although we lost our team today, we've met a master like Li Wei. I think his combat strength is definitely above B3 level, belonging to A-level powerhouse. In the real world, someone like him probably wouldn't even give us a second glance. But now, we have the opportunity to make contact with him. Perhaps today's events aren't such a bad thing after all!"

As she spoke, Bao Ling recited the incantation on the card, and the card instantly dissipated into many beams of light that entered her body. Then, with a simple step, she flew into the air.

Sharp Axe shook his head, hesitated for a long time, but still used the card that he considered extremely precious, and also took to the air.

Along the way, Li Wei led the two of them through several attacks by flying monsters, and finally, at sunset, they saw a village.

"That's the Hunter Village!" Bao Ling's voice was clearly excited as she looked at the sign on the Yellow Paper.

"Once we arrive in the village, the main quest for this mission world will be issued. I wonder how difficult it will be?" Sharp Axe sighed, which was somewhat unusual for his usually taciturn personality. Perhaps it was because so much had happened today that he had some feelings about it.

Li Wei remained silent; he had already planned to separate from Bao Ling once they reached the village.

It wasn't because Li Wei disliked the two of them; his mission was definitely beyond the reach of ordinary reincarnators. Staying with them might implicate Bao Ling and Sharp Axe, so it was better to separate.

Within a radius of several kilometers around the Hunter Village, there were no signs of monster activity, so flying here was basically safe, and they arrived at the village without any problems.

Similar to the villages in the game, this place is very quiet and peaceful. The village is not large, with only a dozen or so houses, but dozens of reincarnators are already standing in the open space in the center of the village.

The arrival of Li Wei and his group immediately attracted the attention of these reincarnated individuals.

"Look, someone else has arrived!" A man wearing an animal skin vest and exposing his thick arms sneered.

A fellow reincarnator, who seemed to be his companion, glanced at Li Wei in the sky and also showed a hint of surprise. "They actually flew here using a flight card. They shouldn't be weak. Don't provoke them before we figure out their strength!"

"Yeah, anyway, after a year, the first mandatory mission to reopen Shadow Street is definitely going to be incredibly difficult. The people joining the mission are all freaks. Look over there, there's an A2-level wizard, an A2-level Daoist, and Seventy-Two who just advanced to A1 level. Damn it, if I could, I definitely wouldn't want to join this damn mission!"

The man who had spoken first glanced warily at the three people in the other direction and said in a low voice.

"In short, be careful. This mission is not easy. It's a miracle we survived!" The other person ended the conversation after seeing the three people using the flight card arrive at the village.

Even from a distance, Li Wei could sense several familiar presences.

When he landed on the ground and looked in the direction of the scent, a smile appeared on his face.

"Daoist!"

It was him?

This was completely unexpected for Li Wei; it was the first time he had ever been assigned to the same mission Taoist He.

Of course, this was the first time Li Wei had seen the Daoist since his rebirth.

The person beside the Daoist was also an acquaintance. It was the great shaman who had some past grudges with Li Wei. Unexpectedly, he had also been assigned to this mission.

Li Wei glanced at the other party's information; a reincarnator of the same level. Li Wei could already see the other party's combat power level.

A2 level!

It seems the Grand Wizard's level is increasing quite rapidly.

The third person was actually that kid, Seventy-Two. I hadn't seen him for a few months, and his combat power had actually increased from B3 to A1. He must have had some kind of fortuitous encounter, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to improve so quickly. You have to know that breaking through the A-level barrier is not so easy.

As Li Wei sized up the three, the Daoist, the Great Wizard, and Seventy-Two also turned their gazes to Li Wei at the same time.

The Daoist and the great shaman both paled simultaneously!

Powerful individuals of their caliber possess the special skill 'Insight Technique', which allows them to observe information about others. In this Hunter Village, the combat strength ratings of every reincarnated individual are displayed flawlessly in the eyes of the Daoist and the Great Wizard.

However, the combat strength rating of this boy who just arrived in the village using a flight card is questionable.

There is only one explanation: the 'Insight Technique' can only observe information weaker than the user's own combat power. For reincarnators of the same or higher level, only a question mark will be displayed.

In other words, this boy actually possesses at least A2-level combat strength?

Among the reincarnators, those with combat strength exceeding A-level are few and far between, and they generally know each other's backgrounds to some extent. In the minds of the Daoist and the Great Wizard, there is no one who can be equated with the young man before them.

Compared to the Grand Wizard's bewilderment, the Daoist looked at Li Wei with a hint of doubt, clearly having noticed something.

Seventy-Two, upon seeing Li Wei, was initially taken aback, but then remembered that this young man was the mysterious boy who had saved him a few months ago.

He had been injured by Behemoth in a level 7 Illusion Realm and was on the verge of death. If it weren't for this young man, he would probably be dead by now. Seventy-Two would never forget his benefactor, especially since this young man shared the same name as an old friend of his.

He laughed heartily and walked over excitedly.
