Chapter 281 Points: A New Historical High
Zhang Yuanqing's thoughts became instantly chaotic, not one thought was normal, filled with emotions of slaughter, violence, and warmongering.
Scarlet, twisted runes lit up in his eyes, blackness surged in his eye sockets, and lightning-like black lines appeared on the skin around his eyes.
Although he was clearly a Night Wanderer, he showed signs of transforming into a bewitching demon.
He opened his mouth wide in pain, wanting to scream, wanting to call for help, enduring soul-tearing pain. Just as Zhang Yuanqing felt he was reaching his limit, and his body and soul were about to "explode," he heard the slightly heavy breathing of the old hag in his mind, as if she had just broken free from some terrifying state.
The next moment, the sun mark on his forehead emitted scalding heat, and a clear, pure golden light illuminated his sea of consciousness, calming the chaotic, violent consciousness, and purifying some terrifying contamination.
Was the old hag also stunned? If she had been a moment later, I would have died. What were those eyes just now? Zhang Yuanqing thought, feeling lingering fear.
What level of existence was that?
The main body of the Blood Pool Demon God?
A boss of extremely high level in The Way of the Extraordinary? No, judging by the old hag's reaction, it should be described as "the highest level."
The old hag had just used the demon god's remnant body to peek at the demon god's main body, and as a result, the other party just gave him a look, causing the old hag to pay a price and almost killing me on the spot. Damn it, she did it on purpose, using my body to do such a risky thing. From the old hag's action, Zhang Yuanqing felt a deep sense of "malice."
But what he said was: "Is the goddess well? Is the goddess alright? As expected of the goddess, you were able to find the main body of this monster in reverse. This junior is blessed by the goddess and has seen an existence that I might never have seen in my life. Thank you, goddess~"
The old hag couldn't help but fall silent, seemingly not knowing how to answer. After a long while, she put on airs and "hmmed" before reminding:
"What you saw just now must not be spread, and do not recall it on weekdays, especially in The Way of the Extraordinary." "This junior understands."
"Next time we meet, this deity hopes to see you practice what you preach."
Her attitude was obviously a little better.
In the lingering sound, the primordial spirit of Lady Three Dao Mountain quickly dissipated, the spying just now seeming to have exhausted her power.
She's gone? Phew, finally gone. Dealing with big shots of this level makes people feel uneasy. Zhang Yuanqing discovered that he had regained control of his body, confirming that the old hag had left.
Although the old hag had left, the power gained from the sacrifice did not disappear immediately, but declined at a constant rate.
Without the old hag, he became the inheritor of the rich power of the sun god in his body. This power originated from the blazing sun mark on his forehead, connecting to his sea of consciousness, and was entirely under his control. He tried to communicate with the mark on his forehead with his spiritual body, compressing the power of the sun god at his fingertips. With a "chi" sound, a three-foot-long golden flame spewed out.
With a change of thought, the power of the sun god transformed into knives, spears, swords, and bows according to his will, arbitrarily changing shape.
It was very strange, this power was not unfamiliar to him, but rather had an unspeakable familiarity.
Perhaps it was because he often used the Demon Subduing Pestle, and his body was used to the power of the sun god?
Zhang Yuanqing did not continue to experiment. With the blazing sun printed on his brow, he immediately looked toward the park exit.
Before the power completely dissipated, he still had many things to do.
At this time, the plants in the park, eroded by the power of the blazing sun, had been burned to ashes all over the ground, and a few charred trees stood bare, emitting green smoke.
At the park exit, Zhao Chenghuang, Jiang Jingwei, and Kou Beiyue were confronting Bai Wujinji and others.
Guan Ya was guarding Asano Ryo, who had lost too much blood and was unconscious.
Zhang Yuanqing drove a gust of flame wind, whistling across the scarred park, arriving above the crowd, overlooking the Mountain God camp from a high position.
In the raging flame wind, the six members of the Mountain God camp retreated again and again, like rats forced into a corner. Their faces were bloodless, and their eyes were like those of people at the end of their rope, with only despair left.
Zhang Yuanqing stretched his right arm forward, and golden light sprayed from his palm, forming a large bow.
Drawing the bowstring, aiming at Bai Wujinji, he said, "Any last words?"
Bai Wujinji "bah"-ed and said fiercely, "You're f*cking cheating, I'm not convinced!"
He did have a backbone and didn't beg for mercy, only resentment.
This time, the kill instance was clearly won by the Mountain God camp. The moment the Blood Pool Demon God was summoned, the instance's "exploitation" had reached its limit. They were the winners.
"This power was also exchanged for with my life. If using power from outside the instance is considered cheating, then so be it."
To be precise, it was exchanged for by prostrating and worshiping, Zhang Yuanqing added in his heart.
He pulled the bowstring, and a dazzling golden light spewed from his fingertips, condensing into a bright arrow.
Bai Wujinji stopped talking nonsense, raised his head, and faced death calmly.
In the years since he became a The Way of the Extraordinary, he had killed many people and had almost been killed many times. If he couldn't say he was detached from life and death, at least he was prepared.
Losing was losing. The winner is king, and the loser is an outlaw, as it has always been.
"Hiss!"
The arrow transformed into a beam of light, instantly piercing Bai Wujinji's chest.
The next moment, golden flames erupted from his body, his flesh and blood melted, and he burned into a pile of white bones.
A Yi's expression suddenly became ferocious. Unlike the extremely weak Bai Wujinji, he still had the strength to resist.
His elytra unfolded, and he soared into the sky, wanting to attack Yuanshi Tianzun and fight like a trapped beast.
But as soon as his body flew up, a scorching wind rushed toward him. A Yi only felt his cheeks burn, and then he lost consciousness, all thoughts vanished.
With a thud, a scalding skeleton fell, shattering into fragments on the ground.
This top wanted criminal returned to The Way of the Extraordinary.
Seeing Zhang Yuanqing neatly solve Bai Wujinji and A Yi, Wei Wuduzun, driven by the instinct to survive, sacrificed the Water God Seal.
"Whoosh~"
The sound of water surged, white waves rolled, and he rode the torrential water, fleeing toward the Blood Pool.
Zhang Yuanqing drew his bow and arrow, then released his finger, the arrow chasing the target, piercing into the water.
Golden light bloomed in the river, and the explosion roared like thunder. Tens of tons of river water instantly evaporated, and dense steam floated toward the sky.
After killing three people in a row, Zhang Yuanqing stopped drawing his bow, flicking out a faint golden light, igniting Jiu Louyu and burning him into a dying charcoal. "Sister Guan Ya!"
He looked at Guan Ya, who had the lowest points present.
The Old Driver nodded slightly, grabbed a pistol from her inventory, aimed at Jiu Louyu, and pulled the trigger.
"Bang, bang," two shots rang out, and blood flowers burst out from the charred humanoid, then stopped struggling.
"Yuan, Yuanshi Tianzun..." Hong Wei's pretty face turned pale. She took a deep breath and said:
"You said that as long as you are willing to join the official side, your promise will be valid until the last moment. Does that still count?"
She didn't want to die.
Bai Wujinji was the leader of the team, an evil profession with many case files. He knew that he couldn't survive, but Hong Wei didn't consider herself a bloodthirsty person. She wanted to try, to try in order to survive. Zhang Yuanqing asked:
"When you released the blood jade, if I begged for mercy, would you stop?"
Hong Wei was stunned, knowing Yuanshi Tianzun's determination, and smiled miserably:
"I understand..."
She wouldn't, so Yuanshi Tianzun wouldn't either.
A flash of golden light disappeared, and a beauty turned into bones.
If I spared you, it would be disrespect to my teammates who risked their lives. Zhang Yuanqing glanced at Hong Wei's bones, then drew his bow toward the little fatty.
"Yuanshi Tianzun!"
Kou Beiyue stepped forward quickly and shouted. Zhang Yuanqing looked back at him.
Kou Beiyue hesitated for a moment, "Can, can you let him go?"
Zhang Yuanqing thought, are you kidding me? I just said that forgiveness is disrespect to my teammates. Kou Beiyue wasn't good at asking for favors, and his expression was unnaturally pleading: "I've helped you so much, can you let him go for my sake?" Zhang Yuanqing frowned:
"Because he's your first little brother?"
How did you know? Kou Beiyue almost blurted out. The thin-skinned him instinctively raised his chin, "I just think he doesn't seem like a bad person, no, not completely bad."
Zhang Yuanqing thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but you won't get any share when we divide the spoils later."
Kou Beiyue had contributed. Using his contribution to exchange for the little fatty's life was Zhang Yuanqing's respect for this teammate.
Kou Beiyue breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "No problem, I'm not interested in these props anyway."
The little fatty stared blankly at Kou Beiyue, his lips slightly moving: "Boss..."
Just as he was about to say something, he saw Yuanshi Tianzun in mid-air flick a faint golden light, hitting him directly in the chest.
The little fatty's body immediately burst into golden flames. He fell to the ground, rolling and screaming, until he was barely breathing, his surface charred, and the flames went out.
"You guard him." Zhang Yuanqing looked at Kou Beiyue.
This little fatty was very strong. He couldn't let him roam around unharmed in the instance. At this time, there was still about a day left before the instance ended. If the little fatty went berserk, he could definitely kill one or two Lawful players.
Kou Beiyue hurried to the little fatty's side, confirming that he was seriously injured but not dead, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
He interceded for the little fatty because it was the first time he had been a boss, and he couldn't help being a little impulsive. Along the way, the little fatty had repeatedly stood up for him, working diligently as his little brother.
Moreover, after contacting him for the past two days, he felt that the little fatty wasn't insidious, evil, or twisted in personality.
So he couldn't bear to see him die here.
After solving all the enemies, Zhang Yuanqing rolled up Bai Wujinji's blood-colored longbow; Hong Wei's bronze mirror; Wei Wuduzun's Water God Seal; and Jiu Louyu's dual blades.
He left the blood-colored longbow and threw the three props behind him, saying, "Zhao Chenghuang, Sister Guan Ya, Jingwei, choose one."
Guan Ya took the dual blades without hesitation, Zhao Chenghuang chose the most valuable Water God Seal, and Jiang Jingwei had no choice, the bronze mirror was hers.
After distributing the spoils, Zhang Yuanqing once again drew his bow into a full moon, shooting a brilliant golden light toward the park exit.
"Boom!"
The entire park vibrated violently, and the invisible restrictions were broken, causing a gust of wind to rise from the ground.
After shooting this arrow, the power of the sun god contained within Zhang Yuanqing's body was finally exhausted.
He fell from mid-air, his limbs were sore, his spirit was weak, and a strong fatigue surged from his body.
As a container for the power of the sun god, merely containing this power put a heavy burden on his Transcendent body, causing negative effects such as overdraft, weakness, and burning pain.
At this time, hurried footsteps came from outside the park.
A group of people rushed into the park, the Night Wanderers of the Taiyi Sect, the colleagues of the Five Elements Alliance, and the Loose Cultivators led by Guan Zhongkuibao and the Undead Knight, a total of thirty people from the Mountain God camp surged in.
Having witnessed the epic battle, they had already passed the initial excitement and ecstasy, but they could still see the joy of surviving from desperation on their faces.
Everyone stared at Yuanshi Tianzun, admiration and gratitude flashing in the man's eyes.
The admiration and worship in the women's eyes were even more obvious and undisguised.
They had all seen the scene where Yuanshi Tianzun transformed into a blazing sun and killed the Blood Pool Demon God. Although they didn't know how this young man had done it, there was no doubt that he had reversed the situation in despair, and everyone had survived because of him.
This kill instance was a rare one in the history of The Way of the Extraordinary, where the evil profession was completely annihilated.
Oh my god, I'm so tired, I really want to sleep. Zhang Yuanqing looked at everyone and took the lead in opening his mouth:
"There are still nine survivors from the Mountain God camp who have escaped. Everyone can hunt them down to get points, but I have two requirements. First, you must form teams of five, and the teams must not be too far apart to ensure timely support. Second, you must not fight among yourselves for kills."
"How you distribute the benefits is up to you to discuss, do you understand?"
"Understood!" everyone responded in unison.
Excitement once again climbed onto their faces. The Lawful players who didn't have enough points to squeeze into the top twenty-four were already impatient.
Killing all the members of the Mountain God camp would not only gain points but also divide up the spots they vacated after death.
The twenty-four Saint positions in this kill instance would all belong to the Lawful camp. Based on this alone, Yuanshi Tianzun's achievements would be enough to shake the entire official world.
"Sister Guan Ya, you stay here." After Zhang Yuanqing instructed the long-legged mature woman, he said to Zhao Chenghuang:
"Please lead them and control the scene."
Zhao Chenghuang saw that his complexion was not right and nodded slightly.
When everyone left, Zhang Yuanqing lay back, sprawled on the black and gray ground, "I'm so tired, I want to sleep for a while, Sister Guan Ya, hehe, pillow..."
Guan Ya "tsk"-ed, but still walked over, knelt on the ground, raised Zhang Yuanqing's head, and placed it on her round and soft thighs.
"Your score broke the record!" Guan Ya smiled softly.
"How much?" Zhang Yuanqing murmured.
Guan Ya was about to speak when she found that this guy who was enjoying her beautiful legs was already snoring like thunder.
"The overall situation has been decided!"
Elder Dog said.
When speaking, the elder's beady eyes were looking at King of Fear. If his dog paws clapping would be undignified, he wouldn't mind stimulating the King of Fear again, just as the King of Fear had stimulated the female marshal before.
"Good, good, Yuanshi Tianzun annihilated the evil camp, he must be awarded an A-level meritorious service, and we will give him one later." Elder Red Hair clapped and laughed, his arrogance like a villain who had achieved his ambition. The other two elders of the Red Fire Gang laughed with their hands on their hips:
"Yuanshi Tianzun directly wiped out the Transcendent's wanted list, he should be rewarded with S-level, let's just promote him to elder."
An excellent fire master never needs to control his emotions, just as fire never restrains its light and heat. Being unrestrained and flamboyant is in line with the characteristics of a fire master.
The other elders were much more restrained, some with relieved expressions, some stroking their beards and smiling, their faces turning from cloudy to sunny.
The female marshal stared at the Transcendent kill instance, having not paid attention to the battles of the Saints for a long time. Since the primordial spirit of Lady Three Dao Mountain descended on the park, her eyes had not moved away.
—Although that ancient Day-Traveling God had just left.
The elders knew that the marshal was in a good mood. "Fear, remember to send the rule-type props over." The female marshal said.
The King of Fear's face twitched in pain, shaking his head and sighing:
"What a pity, what a pity..."
The leader of the Nihility Cult was silent for a few seconds, slowly saying:
"It is destiny."
As one of the highest-level The Way of the Extraordinary in the world, this leader accepted such a result calmly.
Behind the three leaders, the masters of the evil organizations, although not exasperated, still felt a heartache that was difficult to breathe, as so many excellent seeds died in the instance.
Especially the elders of some branches of the Psionic Society, even had the urge to go to Songhai to hunt down Yuanshi Tianzun.
A Yi's position in a branch of the Psionic Society was equivalent to Yuanshi Tianzun's position in the Five Elements Alliance, an elite cultivated for the higher levels.
When Zhang Yuanqing woke up, it was already dark.
"Still a little tired..." He sat up, stretched, and glanced at the large puddle of saliva on Guan Ya's trouser legs, asking, "How long have I been asleep?"
He should have slept enough, but his body was still lazy, and his limbs were sore and weak.
Guan Ya rolled her eyes:
"You almost slept through the instance! After dawn, we can leave the instance."
I slept for a day and a night? No wonder my bladder is a little full. Zhang Yuanqing thought, then saw the devastated open space of the park, where The Way of the Extraordinary were sitting cross-legged.
Gathered in twos and threes, some curled up to rest, some talking in low voices, some eating barbecue.
They sat on the charred ruins, like refugees surviving in a battlefield.
The war was over, and a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere permeated between people.
Guan Ya whispered:
"In the future, this group of Saints will be your natural allies and network. Yuanshi, you have initially accumulated your own network in the official world, and these people are very important to you."
Bear with it for now, it's not good to pee with so many people around. Zhang Yuanqing calmly tightened his legs, "For me, Sister Guan Ya is the most important."
Guan Ya smiled: "Really, Ning Caichen!!"
What?! Zhang Yuanqing was stunned.
"Can you explain what's going on with that female ghost calling you husband?" Guan Ya's smile was beautiful, but it hid a crisis.
"Sister Guan Ya, this is the setting of the spirit servant, you can't take it seriously, um, the moon is so beautiful tonight, let me check the score list first..."
He hurriedly opened the score list.
After killing Bai Wujinji and the other four, his score reached a shocking 1638 points. Breaking the historical record.
In addition, the total score of the entire instance was limited. He alone had crazily collected 1638 points, and the scores of the others were generally below average.
Also, because he had saved most of the official players, the number of surviving Lawful players was higher than in previous kill instances. Fewer people died, and after the scores were evenly distributed, everyone's scores were not too high.
Thanks to the old hag, I will keep the Demon Subduing Pestle for you for a while longer. Zhang Yuanqing silently thanked Lady Three Dao Mountain in his heart.
This situation was a special case and difficult to replicate.
After all, even heaven's chosen ones like the Marshal and the Demon Lord could not have entered and exited the enemy camp seven times and casually slaughter everyone in the Transcendent realm.
After reading the score list, he was quite satisfied with the rankings, and all the companions he cared about were on the list.
Of the twenty-four Saint positions, twenty-two were Lawful professions, and the remaining two were occupied by Kou Beiyue and the little fatty.
The Lawful players who had turned red-eyed planned to kill Kou Beiyue and the little fatty and plunder their points after hunting down the nine members of the Mountain God camp, but were stopped by Zhao Chenghuang.
Only after asking did they find out that these two were left behind by Yuanshi Tianzun.
Although disappointed and even somewhat unwilling, no one dared to "disobey" Yuanshi Tianzun, whose prestige was at its peak.
Kou Beiyue and the little fatty were now being protectively detained in a corner by Jiang Jingwei, Zhao Chenghuang, and Sun Miaomiao.
Asano Ryo, who had lost too much blood, had her injuries effectively treated by the Tree Demon. Apart from breaking both legs, she was not seriously injured.
She was now surrounded by the Peony Fairy and others. The little girl who had risked her life for everyone was greatly praised.
Although Asano Ryo's legs were broken, she was floating. She had never dreamed that she would be able to detonate the entire audience in a kill instance one day.
She didn't have to bid farewell to "Otosan" and "Okasan" anymore, and promotion to Saint was a certainty.
Saints, how many Saints are there in the island country? Those as young as her could be counted on one hand.
Time passed quickly, dawn came, the morning light broke through the night, and the sun timidly revealed a corner in the east.
The The Way of the Extraordinary who were full of anticipation finally received the task prompt:
[Ding! The main task has been completed, rewarding 100 points.]
[Ding! Calculating points...]
[1: Yuanshi Tianzun, Night Wanderer, Level 3, 1638 points]
[2: Zhao Chenghuang, Night Wanderer, Level 3, 580 points]
[3: Kou Beiyue, Water Ghost, Level 3, 420 points]
[4: Asano Ryo, Water Ghost, Level 3, 400 points]
[5: Sun Miaomiao, Night Wanderer, Level 3, 363 points]
[6: Jiang Jingwei, Fire Master, Level 3, 350 points]
[7: Tianxia Guihuo, Fire Master, Level 3, 340]
[8: Undead Knight, Night Wanderer, Level 3, 320]
[9: Guohé Zú, Scout, Level 3, 270]
[10: Guan Zhongkuibao, Earth Monster, Level 3, 220]
The last fourteen included Yuan Ting, Niulanshan Little Fairy, Peony Fairy, Baihu Bingzhong, Yunu Wugua, etc., most of whom were members of the Taiyi Sect and the Five Elements Alliance, with only one Loose Cultivator.
Of course, there were not many Loose Cultivators to begin with. [Ding, the score calculation is complete.]
[Ding, congratulations on completing the kill instance - Lost City, number: 0000, difficulty level "unknown", calculating rewards]
Phew, the kill instance is finally over, I'm looking forward to the Star Official's skills! Zhang Yuanqing sat next to Guan Ya, listening to the prompt sound of The Way of the Extraordinary, filled with joy.
Suddenly, his face changed, and he thought of a detail that he had forgotten - the full moon mark!
Not good, my Night Wanderer mark is a black full moon, not a crescent moon. This is a mark unique to the heir of the Demon Lord. F*ck, luckily I was smart and held in my pee. Zhang Yuanqing jumped up and said, "I'm going to the toilet!"
"Didn't you just go?" Guan Ya shouted.
"Frequent urination!"
With that, he hurried to the park exit.
At this time, outside the kill instance, the big shots of the Lawful and evil organizations once again turned their attention to the park.
The little guys in the Transcendent realm were about to calculate their rewards.
