A Thousand per Death (Please Bookmark)

"What!"

Wang Renbin jolted in shock and looked at the terrifying figure in the distance.

With every step he took, large numbers of players died.

The sight shook Wang Renbin even more deeply.

The Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain, this mighty boss, had actually appeared here. That meant Wang Cheng and the others had almost certainly fallen at his hands.

Those were elite players the Wang Family had spared no effort to cultivate.

If he had not belonged to the Wang Family's direct line, he would not even have had the authority to command them.

Now, they had all fallen here.

When he saw Qin Shujian heading toward the Core Token, Wang Renbin grew frantic.

Their losses were already irreversible.

If he failed to obtain the Core Token now, they would truly lose on every front.

"Please, everyone, stop the Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain! As long as I can obtain the Core Token, the Wang Family will pay everyone here a thousand for each death. Afterward, anyone can approach a member of the Wang Family to collect.

"As a direct descendant of the Wang Family, I give you my guarantee. We will never go back on our word!"

The moment he said this,

the eyes of the players who had been hesitating instantly turned red.

A thousand per death!

Money could hardly come any easier.

Most of the players present were ordinary people.

A thousand was not much, but getting a thousand simply for dying was an enormous temptation.

Considering Wang Renbin's promise and the Wang Family's status,

there was little chance of them breaking their word over something like this.

Besides—

players could revive after dying. With practically everyone still at Martial Entry Level Zero, death cost them absolutely nothing.

With that,

the other players immediately surged toward Qin Shujian.

Seeing this,

Wang Renbin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he glanced at the progress bar again.

"Six minutes left!" Wang Renbin looked at the densely packed players and Qin Shujian slaughtering his way through the crowd, and felt somewhat reassured.

The Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain was still at least several dozen meters away from him.

Across those several dozen meters, the players seemed endless.

Although Wang Renbin did not believe the players here could stand against this mighty boss, delaying him for six minutes should not be much of a problem.

No matter what,

he had to get the Core Token first.

Once he had the Command Token, he would retreat immediately.

With so many players blocking the chieftain, surely he would not be able to catch him.

Once he left this place, he refused to believe the man could do anything to him.

Even in the worst case,

What did it matter if he was killed after obtaining the Command Token? As long as it did not drop, it would still belong to him.

Now, Wang Renbin could only hope the Core Token would not be worth too little.

By his own estimate, however, the Core Token was very likely the means of controlling the Novice Village.

Meanwhile,

Qin Shujian could naturally see the bronze Command Token hovering in the air, as well as Wang Renbin standing inside the ring of light.

When he saw the other players surging toward him, killing intent seethed in his heart.

He said nothing.

His steps did not pause.

There was only

the fierce saber light bursting from the Tiger Head Saber.

As he unleashed the transformed Black Tiger Saber Technique at full strength, a black tiger several zhang in size manifested in the air, its roar shaking everything for ten li.

With every step he took, dozens of players vanished.

As Qin Shujian watched the players come to their deaths, one wave after another, a realization suddenly dawned deep within him.

He had already become this powerful.

Once, merely hearing the word "player" had filled him with fear. Now, he could regard players as utterly worthless foes.

Even when a player occasionally broke through the saber light and landed an attack on Qin Shujian, it made no difference.

The copper skin trait granted by Martial Entry Seventh Level had raised his defense to a terrifying degree.

These players had not even reached Entering Martial First Layer. Unless they wielded some divine weapon, they could not harm him in the slightest.

"How are we supposed to fight this!"

"We can't even break his defense!"

At this sight, many players wailed inwardly.

The prerequisite for overwhelming a boss through sheer numbers was being able to break its defense.

If they could not even do that, any number of people would be useless.

If they could not pierce his defense, his health would not drop. No matter how hard they fought, they would only be scratching an itch for him.

As large numbers of players fell, the Life Source he had heavily depleted rose at an extraordinary rate.

Finally,

it surpassed seven hundred points.

This was the most Life Source Qin Shujian had ever possessed.

With over seven hundred points of Life Source available, a plus sign appeared beside every technique, including the Body Tempering Scripture.

Without hesitation,

Qin Shujian mentally selected the Body Tempering Scripture.

Immediately, his Life Source drained away like an ebbing tide.

Then a surge of excruciating pain slightly twisted his expression, but his willpower, now at its peak, suppressed it outright.

Boom!

An even stronger aura erupted from Qin Shujian. Caught off guard, some players who had come too close were knocked backward by the force of its eruption.

The other players could not help staring in bewilderment.

Was this...?

A breakthrough?

Fuck!!!

Every player could not help inwardly cursing.

The Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain was already a difficult enough boss to fight. Now that he had broken through again, his strength would surely become even more terrifying.

That left them with even less chance of standing against him.

Sure enough,

after his breakthrough, Qin Shujian's strength became even more terrifying. Powerful energy surged through his body, and the veins in his arms bulged like coiling dragons.

"Slash!"

With a fierce shout, he brought his saber down.

Rumble!

Cold light flashed along the blade, wiping out every player within three zhang in front of Qin Shujian and leaving a horrifying saber scar etched into the ground.

The sight frightened the other players into standing frozen in place.

Qin Shujian paid them no heed and continued toward Wang Renbin. Every player who stood motionless in his path turned into white light and disappeared.

"Quick, stop him!" Wang Renbin's face turned green as he hurriedly ordered the Wang Family's elite players still guarding him.

Hearing this, the dozen or so remaining players dared not hesitate and charged at Qin Shujian.

Wang Renbin looked at the timer, which had just over a minute left, and grew desperately anxious.

He had never expected Qin Shujian to be this powerful.

Even thousands upon thousands of players had failed to stop his advance.

The timer was almost up, but the man was now less than ten meters away.

Wang Renbin could even faintly feel the keen edge of the saber in his hand.

Finally,

as the timer reached the last thirty seconds, a towering figure stood before Wang Renbin. The savage aura rushing toward him made his heart tremble involuntarily.

No!!

Despite Wang Renbin's unwillingness to accept it, the saber was already descending toward him, compressing the air until it burst.

There was no resistance.

Nor was there anything to stop it.

Just as Wang Renbin watched the timer nearing its end, his vision went black. His body turned into white light and vanished, leaving only a Fine Steel Long Sword behind.

Qin Shujian stepped into the ring of light.
