Zhou Heng had considered that she might use the item to find him, but he had not expected her to lose patience and strike after just one night.
Yet that was precisely what made the Longevity Family Players so terrifying.
Players raised by the Longevity Family were rarely spoiled heirs. Almost every Longevity Family player who logged into the Boundless Endless World was ruthless and perceptive.
Thus, her daring to come after him after only a single night clearly meant she had come prepared.
Without the Sakast Imperial Sword (Holy Sword), honestly, he might truly have been unable to take her down.
But if she wanted to deliver equipment to him, he did not mind adding another drop from a Longevity Family player to his collection.
With that thought, Zhou Heng formed a plan. He switched weapons, equipped the Great Sun Divine Bow (Fake), aimed at the Longevity Family Girl, and fired an arrow.
Whoosh~
The arrow tore through space, hurtling toward the Longevity Family Girl's right eye at incredible speed.
The Longevity Family Girl sensed something. Her pupils contracted as she looked toward the incoming arrow. Then, without dodging, she raised a hand to catch it.
Bang!
The arrow struck the Longevity Family Girl's palm, yet failed to inflict even the slightest damage.
Zhou Heng watched it all, his eyes narrowing slightly.
The Longevity Family's resources were indeed beyond the reach of ordinary players. In just one night, she had become capable of withstanding his minimum physical attack of 118.5.
That meant her physical damage reduction had exceeded 118.5 in just one night.
"Zhou Heng, you won't escape this time!"
"I'll kill you three times, then find you a fourth time and make you wail in terror and the despair of death."
The Longevity Family Girl tossed the arrow onto the grassland and strode toward Zhou Heng, holding the Guidance of Revenge.
As she walked, the Longevity Family Girl spoke.
"Of course, I'm very interested in your talent."
"Tell me your talent and who's guiding you behind the scenes, and on account of your handsome looks, I can let you stay in my harem as my male consort."
"You have only one chance to speak, before I reach you."
The Longevity Family Girl's voice was as cold as when they first met, but this time, her tone held a trace of mockery and contempt.
Standing roughly 100 meters away from the Longevity Family Girl, Zhou Heng could not help the corners of his mouth curling upward when he heard her words.
An information advantage truly was something countless people craved. Had the Longevity Family Girl known the attributes of the Sakast Imperial Sword (Holy Sword) in his hand, she probably would not have uttered such laughable words.
Stay in her harem as a male consort? Did her family know she was into such wild things?
Putting away the Great Sun Divine Bow (Fake) and switching to the Sakast Imperial Sword (Holy Sword), Zhou Heng strode toward the Longevity Family Girl.
He wanted to see whether she, who had caught his arrow in her palm, could withstand his full 388.5-777 physical attack.
If she could withstand it, he would admit defeat today.
But Fate Hint had given him no warning, which meant she had not the slightest chance of defeating him.
Receiving no response, the Longevity Family Girl frowned slightly and looked down at the Guidance of Revenge between her fingers, finding its blue light growing ever brighter.
That meant the distance between her and Zhou Heng was steadily shrinking.
In the past, she would have thought nothing of it, but now, after being killed twice, she was far more cautious.
Despite seeing that she was immune to arrow damage, Zhou Heng still had not put distance between them. He must have had some source of confidence she knew nothing about.
Could it be that the strength he showed last night wasn't his full strength?
Looking at her armor value of a full 25 points, the Longevity Family Girl considered for a moment before deciding to fight anyway.
Whether Zhou Heng had hidden his strength or not, she would not fear him.
First, she was a member of Su, Blue Star's greatest Longevity Family.
Second, the Longevity Family feared no one.
Their Longevity Family dared to confront even someone on the Sakas Emperor's level head-on, let alone a mere new player.
Neither backed away. They strode toward each other.
Soon, they met in the center of the small grassland in Deepwater Cave.
The Longevity Family Girl held the Guidance of Revenge in one hand and her bow in the other, staring coldly at Zhou Heng.
Holding the Sakast Imperial Sword (Holy Sword), Zhou Heng likewise stared coldly at the Longevity Family Girl.
Neither spoke. They went straight to testing their strength, both activating Burning Rage.
Attack speed +1.0/s, movement speed +2.0 m/s! Attack speed +2.0/s, movement speed +4.0 m/s, attack +20!
The Longevity Family Girl could only activate a 30-mana Burning Rage, while Zhou Heng activated a 300-mana Burning Rage.
Immediately after activating Burning Rage, the Longevity Family Girl decisively crushed the Guidance of Revenge in her hand, drew her bow, and aimed an arrow between Zhou Heng's brows.
He had killed her at point-blank range once, so she would make him experience being shot dead by an arrow at point-blank range too.
Yet in Zhou Heng's eyes, the Longevity Family Girl's movements were as pitifully slow as a crawling turtle.
Without hesitation, Zhou Heng swung the Sakast Imperial Sword (Holy Sword), slashing her neck at a speed she could never have imagined.
Riiip~
The Longevity Family Girl's head separated from her body, the force of the impact sending it arcing onto the small grassland.
As her head rolled over and over, the fighting spirit in the Longevity Family Girl's eyes turned to confusion, then finally to terror and bewilderment.
She should still have had one free revival left!
She should still have had the 10 Revival Coins her older brother had given her!
Why hadn't the check triggered? This... didn't make sense...
She was not the only one. Zhou Heng was stunned too.
When an opponent possessed Revival Coins, the Boundless Endless World's adjudication would, at most, empty their health bar. It would never allow a player to be decapitated while they still had a revival available.
"This... how is this possible..."
"What exactly... did... you do..."
For the first time, fear appeared in the Longevity Family Girl's eyes. Her voice was no longer haughty, and her tone trembled with terror.
"I merely revoked your Longevity Family's permission to use Revival Coins."
"Hasn't your Longevity Family kept records of this ability all along?"
A faint light spilled from the Sakast Imperial Sword (Holy Sword), coalescing into a thin figure of light before the Longevity Family Girl.
The Longevity Family Girl's eyes widened as she stared at the figure of light before her in utter disbelief.
"How... is this possible..."
"You should have died for good... Hero King... Kai... lun..."
The Longevity Family Girl wanted to finish speaking, but discovered that her brain was severely deprived of oxygen. She could only watch helplessly as her consciousness sank, finally falling into boundless deathly silence.
The Longevity Family player, the nameless girl, was dead!
