Boom!
The silver figure flew backward, crashing into several players. The terrifying impact sent them straight back to the Resurrection Point before they could even react.
"Cough, cough!"
Zhang Guang was now drenched in blood. His Silver Treasure Armor was battered beyond recognition, and he kept coughing up blood.
On the other side, however—
Qin Shujian strode slowly toward Zhang Guang, saber in hand, his imposing aura surging.
With every step he took,
his aura grew stronger.
This turn of events left the other players aghast.
They had known from the outset how terrifying the Liangshan Stronghold Chief was.
But seeing Zhang Guang defeated still shook them.
And—

Zhang Guang was a battered wreck, gravely wounded and on the verge of death.

How could the word "defeat" possibly describe this?
It was a beating.
A one-sided, utterly merciless beating.
The gulf in strength left the players groaning inwardly in helplessness.
The strongest person in Novice Village No. 23012 was its village chief, Zhang Guang. But now that even he was gravely wounded and dying, who could possibly keep the Liangshan Stronghold Chief in check?
At this rate, Novice Village No. 23012 was not far from destruction.

The players who had been cowed by Qin Shujian's might suddenly seemed to realize something, and urgency spread across their faces.
"Holy shit, Zhang Guang can't die! If he dies and the system decides we've failed the quest, aren't we screwed?"
"Losing three levels is bad enough, but we'll also get fifty percent less experience for ten days! That'll kill us!"
"Stop that boss! We can't let Zhang Guang die!"
Once the players realized this, they could no longer hold back.
No
