Conflict

"Young man, I didn't expect to see you here!" Seventy-Two was still dressed in his usual shabby manner, wearing heavy armor and carrying a very imposing longsword. However, Li Wei could still see that both his armor and the surroundings were severely damaged.

It seems that Seventy-Two has encountered quite a bit of trouble along the way. However, no signs of battle were found on the Daoist and the great wizard.

After exchanging pleasantries with Seventy-Two for a while, Li Wei was about to say goodbye to Bao Ling and Sharp Axe behind him, but when he turned around, he saw that the two of them had solemn expressions on their faces.

Among the reincarnators, one man with a gloomy expression walked towards Bao Ling. When Bao Ling and Sharp Axe saw this man, their expressions immediately became somewhat unnatural.

"Isn't this Captain Bao Ling? Long time no see! Oh, your combat power has reached B3 too? Congratulations!" The person was wearing a bone-like outer garment, which Li Wei recognized at a glance as the defensive armor of Necromancer from the Diablo world.

Is it another A1 level?

Li Wei stroked his chin. It seemed that this mission was indeed a gathering of powerful individuals.

Looking at Bao Ling again, her eyes flickered somewhat.

"My good-for-nothing brother, I've been so grateful to Captain Bao Ling for taking care of him these past few months!" The man, whose face was deathly pale, first bowed to Bao Ling, then continued, "By the way, where is he?"

At this moment, Bao Ling's face was completely bloodless.

The same was true for the Sharp Axe beside them; without a doubt, the terrifying combat power of the man in front of them was one of the reasons that terrified the two of them.

Upon seeing this, Li Wei immediately understood who this man was.

He must be the older brother Lin Sheng mentioned; it's unexpected that they were assigned to the same mission world. With an older brother of such combat power, Lin Sheng certainly has the right to be arrogant.

Seeing Bao Ling's hesitant manner, Li Wei shook his head, thinking to himself, "Let me help her one last time." After all, she had resolutely risked her life to "save" him; such people are rare these days.

Thinking of this, Li Wei greeted Seventy-Two and then walked over.

At this moment, Bao Ling was already suffocating under that invisible pressure.

"Lord Lin Kun, your younger brother...?"

"Oh, what's wrong with him?" Lin Kun still had the same expression, but his eyes, like those of a ferocious beast, were fixed on Bao Ling.

"He..." Bao Ling was on the verge of collapse.

Just then, someone walked over and stood in front of her.

He's dead!

Bao Ling immediately breathed a sigh of relief; the immense pressure she had just felt vanished instantly. Although B3 level was only one level lower than A1 level, there was a fundamental difference between them.

He's still too weak. If he were strong enough, he wouldn't need to fear Lin Kun at all. In the end, he'd still have to rely on Li Wei.

Overwhelmed with mixed emotions, Bao Ling clenched her fingers tightly, secretly resolving to improve her strength. Only by standing at the pinnacle could she be fearless in the face of any danger.

Lin Kun was clearly terrified by Li Wei's words all day. His incredulous expression made his gloomy face appear even more ferocious.

"Dead? You mean my lovely little brother is dead?" He practically roared the last sentence.

The surrounding Reincarnators were immediately drawn to the sound. Upon seeing that it was Lin Kun, they all watched from a distance, wanting to see what had angered this A-level expert so much.

"Yes, he's dead!" Li Wei's voice remained indifferent, as if he couldn't sense the oppressive aura emanating from the other party at all.

"Did you kill him?" Lin Kun wasn't stupid; he immediately guessed the reason.

Li Wei disliked lying, and in fact, there was no need to lie, so he nodded.

"Good... good!" Lin Kun laughed after saying "good" twice, but soon he unleashed a terrifying killing intent. "You killed my brother, so you won't live either!"

Having said that, he suddenly hurled a bone spear.

This bone spear is a magical artifact, as hard as steel, and incredibly destructive, making it one of Lin Kun's most powerful killing moves. The bone spear was extremely fast, reaching Li Wei almost instantly.

However, Li Wei remained unmoved and did not dodge or evade.

At the same time, a sword flashed out, knocking the bone spear away.

Seventy-Two appeared beside Li Wei at some unknown time; he was the one who had just cleaved the bone spear in two.

"Lin Kun, he's my savior. Be careful, don't get yourself into trouble!" This was practically a blatant threat, and Seventy-Two, also an A1 fighter, certainly had the right to say that.

Lin Kun, who was on the other side, did not expect that Seventy-Two would suddenly appear, and his expression became even more unpleasant.

"Seventy-Two, mind your own business. This has nothing to do with you. He killed my brother, and I will make sure he dies!" Lin Kun moved his hand, and another bone spear appeared in the air.

He broke through to A-level a few months earlier than Seventy-Two, so he spoke with great confidence.

"Hehe, I'm going to meddle in this!" Seventy-Two wasn't one to back down from trouble either. Puffs of battle aura burst from his two swords, clearly showing he wouldn't give an inch.

Li Wei looked at Seventy-Two. He really hadn't expected this guy to stand up for him. This kind of friendship was truly rare. It seemed that saving Seventy-Two back then was the right decision.

Li Wei walked over and patted Seventy-Two on the shoulder, saying with a smile, "Thank you, Seventy-Two. But I'm enough to deal with him on my own. Later, let's go try some of the delicious food in the Hunter Village. You know, I've been craving that lavish feast in the game for a long time!"

At this moment, Seventy-Two was genuinely impressed by Li Wei. He only knew that Li Wei was a card master, but he couldn't see through his combat strength. However, he figured it wouldn't be that high. In his estimation, Li Wei's combat strength was at most B3 level. The reason why he couldn't see through Li Wei's combat strength with the Insight Technique was probably because the other party had some cards that could hide his combat strength.

He comforted himself, undoubtedly not wanting to drag others down with him. However, he still understood the principle of repaying a small kindness Seventy-Two; if it weren't for Li Wei, he would have been dead long ago.

"Haha, we'll definitely go for that lavish feast later. However, Lin Kun reached A-level earlier than me, and he possesses Necromancer skills. You can't handle him alone. With me here, at least we can make him hesitate to act!" Seventy-Two said heartily.

However, he was also aware that although they were both A1 level, there was still a certain gap between his strength and Lin Kun's. Even in terms of special skills, he had no advantage whatsoever.

Necromancer are masters of necromancy, bone poison magic, and curses. Each of these is extremely troublesome. Although there are no corpses here for Lin Kun to use for necromancy, his bone poison magic and curses are still beyond his capabilities. Even with Li Wei's help, it probably wouldn't change anything.

Glancing at the powerful figures around him, among so many reincarnators, only two possessed the ability to intimidate Lin Kun.

One of them is that great wizard, an A2-level powerhouse, who is said to be about to break through to A3 level. In the European region of the Old World, he owns more than seven towns, all of which are level 3 towns. Whether it is individual strength or town strength, no one can surpass him. If it were him who showed up, Lin Kun would not dare to be presumptuous even if he had ten more lives.

The other one is a Daoist Daoist who is on par with the Grand Wizard.

Speaking of this Daoist, he is an even more mysterious figure than the Grand Wizard. The Daoist's town is located in the Kunlun Mountains, and there is only one town, but its town level has reached level 4. Even the Grand Wizard treats the Daoist priest as an equal, which shows the strength of this Daoist. Moreover, no one knows what the Daoist priest's special skills are, and no one has ever seen him make a move. Similarly, if he were to show his face, Lin Kun would not dare to say anything.

Seventy-Two gave a self-deprecating smile, realizing he had been overthinking things.

How could these two possibly show up? Even he, an A1-level expert who owns a city and is considered a top-tier figure by countless people, is like an ant in their eyes. They would never intervene for his sake. It seems that only he and Li Wei can deal with Lin Kun.

"Seventy-Two, don't blame me for not reminding you. Although you're also A1 level, you're still far behind me. I'm asking you one last time, are you going to meddle in other people's business?"

Lin Kun had already begun preparing to unleash his curses. As Necromancer, curses were his trump card against enemies. 'Amplify Damage' and 'Weakness Curse' alone were enough to help him kill Seventy-Two and that boy.

His answer was Seventy-Two resolute gaze.

"Fine, then you can die with him!" A fierce glint flashed in Lin Kun's eyes as he unleashed Weakness Curse.

Buzz!

Centered on Li Wei and Seventy-Two, within a distance of five or six meters, something like powder seemed to be sprinkled down, and in an instant, the effect of the curse became apparent.

Seventy-Two felt as if half of his strength had been lost, and even the armor he wore and the sword in his hand felt much heavier than usual.

"This is troublesome! This is equivalent to weakening my combat power by half! Damn it, Li Wei, step back! I refuse to believe that my 'Gale Stab' can't kill him!" Seventy-Two shouted and was about to step forward.

The name he mentioned in his last sentence was like a pebble thrown into a lake, causing ripples in the hearts of the two people present.

Almost instantly, a figure rushed over like lightning.

"The Great Dao is boundless, Heavenly Profound Demon-Exorcising Talisman, swiftly!"

A voice rang out, and a dazzling talisman appeared in the sky like a projection, its golden symbols bursting with golden light. The red curses in the air vanished instantly, like ice encountering fire. Seventy-Two felt a lightness in his body under this light, as the power that had been reduced by the Weakness Curse returned to his body.
