Chapter 1 The Massacre Begins

Deep within White Mist Canyon, a large group of players were attacking a Level 27 Lord monster.

Although these players were only dealing around a hundred points of damage to the Lord, the constant bombardment from over two thousand players was too much, and it was eventually worn down and killed.

"Hahaha, our luck is too good, we got a Level 25 Fine-Gold weapon!" Only I Am Mad was overjoyed as he sorted through the loot.

They had been searching for Hei Yan's (Black Flame's) whereabouts while also hunting down Lord monsters.

They had killed over a dozen Lords in that time, but the drop rate for Level 25 Fine-Gold equipment was too low. So far, they had only gotten two pieces: one piece of cloth armor and the one that just dropped. Most of the other equipment that dropped was Mithril-grade.

The elite members of Yi Xiao Qing Cheng (All Smiles) almost drooled as they looked at the Level 25 Fine-Gold weapon in Only I Am Mad's hands.

A Level 25 Fine-Gold weapon was equivalent to a Level 20 Dark-Gold weapon, and even better in terms of stats. It could be said to be the best weapon available right now.

Currently, Zero Wing was the only guild in White River City known to have Level 25 Fine-Gold weapons. Now, Yi Xiao Qing Cheng finally had their own Fine-Gold weapon.

Although it couldn't compare to Zero Wing's collection of Level 25 Fine-Gold weapons, it was still proof of Yi Xiao Qing Cheng's strength.

However, the others could only look. As for owning a Level 25 Fine-Gold weapon themselves, they would have to wait a long time.

After all, Yi Xiao Qing Cheng lost a lot of people to deal with these dozen or so Lord monsters, its value was self-evident, and it wasn't their turn to receive such a prize.

At this time, everyone felt a pang in their hearts when they saw Only I Am Mad directly hand the dropped Level 25 Fine-Gold Dagger to Xia Ri Yang Guang (Summer Sunshine).

The Level 25 Fine-Gold Dagger, which they had finally obtained after killing over a dozen Lord monsters, was given to an outsider, and not even to someone from Yi Xiao Qing Cheng itself.

"Hmm, this dagger is not bad, a little better than my previous Level 20 Dark-Gold Dagger." Xia Ri Yang Guang waved the Level 25 Fine-Gold Dagger a few times and nodded in satisfaction. "Okay, let's go find another Lord monster."

"Wait," You Lan suddenly said.

"Is there a problem?" Xia Ri Yang Guang turned to look at You Lan and asked.

"Brother Xia Ri, I just got a message. Someone saw Hei Yan. Hei Yan is now in the outer area of White Mist Canyon. We should be able to run into him if we hurry over." You Lan slowly said.

Hei Yan had suddenly disappeared after killing Dongfang Yijian (Oriental Sword), a master of Yi Xiao Qing Cheng.

In order to prevent Hei Yan from escaping, she forbade Yi Xiao Qing Cheng from alerting him and making him wary. Instead, she was secretly searching for him and had even issued a reward, but unfortunately, she had not found Hei Yan's whereabouts for so long.

Now that she had Hei Yan's information, she naturally couldn't let him go.

Hei Yan's reputation was too great. If this continued, Zero Wing would become increasingly difficult to deal with, and controlling White River City would become a big problem.

"He finally appeared. Good, let's go now. I want to see what the number one expert in Star-Moon Kingdom is capable of." Xia Ri Yang Guang put away the dagger he had just obtained, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

"Then I'll have to trouble Brother Xia Ri." You Lan smiled faintly.

Although she had been looking for ways to deal with Hei Yan, she didn't have much confidence. Now that she had an expert like Xia Ri Yang Guang, and Xia Ri Yang Guang was equipped with a new weapon, plus the methods she had prepared in advance, she was almost certain to capture Hei Yan.

Even if Hei Yan was as strong as a Lord monster, he would still die in her hands.

On the other side, after Shi Feng obtained the Battlefire Armguards and finally gathered the complete Battlefire Set, he did not use it himself, but instead traded the Battlefire Set to Huo Wu (Fire Dance).

Lan Shuyun and the others beside him almost popped their eyes out when they saw Shi Feng take out the complete Battlefire Set.

"Shuyun, is that the Battlefire Set?" Lan Shuyun's teammate asked in disbelief, thinking they hadn't seen clearly, and secretly said in the team chat.

"Well, it should... maybe... it is." Lan Shuyun looked at the unique purple glow of the Battlefire Set, still unable to believe that someone could actually collect the Battlefire Set.

How difficult was it to get a Battlefire piece?

Since the Battlefire Set was discovered in White Mist Canyon, less than 10 scattered pieces of the Battlefire Set had appeared. These 10 pieces had been bought by major guilds and rich players. According to the information she had, it was impossible to collect a complete set with these less than 10 scattered pieces.

But the seven Battlefire pieces that Shi Feng took out were all different...

Lan Shuyun couldn't imagine how hard it was to get a Battlefire piece after farming it for a few days. It was an understatement to say it was outrageously difficult. How powerful was the force behind Shi Feng that could collect a set for him?

"Guild Leader?" Huo Wu looked at the Battlefire Set in her bag, surprised.

She had seen the attributes of the Battlefire Set, and it was definitely top-quality equipment. It just needed a lot of experience points to upgrade the Battlefire. As long as the Battlefire Set was upgraded to Fine-Gold grade, it would be the top-tier set before Level 30.

Why didn't the Guild Leader use such a set himself, and instead let her use it first?

She really didn't understand.

The name Hei Yan was well-known throughout the Star-Moon Kingdom. If Zero Wing wanted to continue to prosper, Hei Yan's strength had to be constantly improved. Naturally, all equipment should be prioritized for Hei Yan.

But...

"I prioritize leveling up right now. Even if I put on the Battlefire Set, the effect of the Bronze grade wouldn't be great. If I sacrifice experience points to improve the quality of the Battlefire Set, it would be a loss. Moreover, what Zero Wing Guild lacks is not top experts, but experts with enough deterrence. Don't refuse. I still have Battlefire here, so you don't have to worry." Shi Feng said with a smile.

"Okay." Huo Wu understood.

Zero Wing didn't lack top experts. Facing so many powerful guilds, Zero Wing Guild needed a master who could stand alone to hold the line.

Then Huo Wu put on the Battlefire Set.

After putting it on, Huo Wu immediately improved the quality of the Battlefire Set. After the level dropped from 26 to 25, the quality of the Battlefire Set also improved from Bronze to Mysterious-Iron, and the basic attributes were greatly improved.

Battlefire Set, equipment level 20-30, Mysterious-Iron Grade (evolvable), can be equipped by any profession, consisting of seven parts: head, chest, belt, hands, armguards, legs, and feet.
