Chapter 247: Chapter 246: Just You? You Dare?
Faced with the sudden appearance of an overwhelmingly destructive super dragon, the surrounding professional players of the Empire Guild couldn't help but retreat instinctively.
Their plan to attack Heavens Hall was to lure Zhang Yue out.
Yet, for some reason, when Zhang Yue truly appeared, fear crept into their hearts.
At this moment, to Ouyang Ling'er, Ning Tiantian, and Liyue behind him, Zhang Yue seemed to shine like a beam of light in their eyes.
"Mom, I think I just saw Tige..."
At this time, Liu Sheng stepped out from the crowd, stared arrogantly at Zhang Yue, and said, "You finally showed up? I thought you were going to hide for the rest of your life!"
Zhang Yue looked at Liu Sheng and said, "Isn't living a good thing? Why are you so eager to die?"
Liu Sheng sneered coldly and replied, "Unfortunately, the one who will die today is you, not me."
"You killed Xu Bei, the president of our Empire Guild, and then fled in fear. Do you think you can escape the judgment of our Empire Guild?"
Zhang Yue patted the Extinction Black Dragon's lowered head and replied casually, "Do you really think I was running away?"
"Judgment? Just you? Are you even worthy?"
"Do you even know who your opponent is this time?" Liu Sheng asked confidently. "The elite forces of our Empire Guild—how could some third-rate guild like yours possibly match us?"
In the back, Xu Aiguo couldn't hold back any longer. His mind was full of thoughts about the 10 billion bounty he'd earn by killing Zhang Yue. Pointing at Zhang Yue, he shouted, "Kill him for me!"
"KILL!"
With a deafening roar, countless elite members of the Empire Guild charged toward Zhang Yue, weapons in hand, overwhelming him like a tidal wave.
Outside the battlefield, a female streamer was narrating excitedly, "The newly crowned number one player in our Dragon Nation this year, Zero, is about to clash with the Empire Guild."
"Rumor has it that Zero is powerful enough to crush the three major families of Tianjing. But can he take on the Empire Guild? Let's wait and see!"
Meanwhile, the livestream chat exploded with rolling comments:
["Two fists can't take on four hands. No matter how skilled Zero is, it's impossible for him to beat the Empire Guild!"]
["Obviously! The Empire Guild is one of the top three guilds in Dragon Nation, under the legendary Ice Emperor! How could some grassroots player from the sticks compete with first-tier pros?"]
["Challenging the Empire Guild is pure suicide! If Zero manages to leave this temple alive today, I'll call him dad! All 500,000 brothers in this livestream can bear witness!"]
Besides this female streamer, many other popular streamers from Tianjing also rushed to the scene and started livestreaming.
Each streaming room was packed with viewers.
Even the smaller, less popular streamers saw unprecedented peaks in their viewer counts.
The audience was vast, comparable to a concert by a world-famous singer.
Amid the crowd's anticipation, the battle began.
ROAR—
With a deafening dragon cry, the Extinction Black Dragon soared into the sky, opened its massive jaws, and unleashed an S-tier Doomsday Dragon Breath, sweeping across the crowd below.
In an instant, dozens of Empire Guild professionals within the area were engulfed by the silver-gray dragon breath.
Previously, after killing more than a dozen enemies with the Doomsday Dragon Flame upon its appearance, the Extinction Black Dragon had stacked five layers of the [Heaven-Destruction and Earth-Annihilation] effect, gaining an additional 150% damage boost.
As a result, those swallowed by the dragon breath saw enormous damage numbers of 180,000 to 200,000 popping up above their heads.
At this stage, even the top-tier knights of the Empire Guild, fully clad in gold equipment at level 55, couldn't have more than 100,000 HP.
As for the mages, archers, and assassins, they only had 40,000 to 50,000 HP.
Undoubtedly, the damage from the Extinction Black Dragon was fatal to everyone present.
In an instant, dozens of beams of light shot into the sky.
In the area covered by the dragon breath, all Empire Guild professionals were instantly killed—completely wiped out.
Afterward, there wasn't even a need for skills.
The Extinction Black Dragon, with its basic attacks capable of 150,000 critical damage three times per second, went on a rampage, reaping the lives of Empire Guild professionals.
Amid the ceaseless screams, beams of light rose one after another.
Everyone present was stunned.
"Holy crap! What kind of pet is this? Its damage is insane!"
The Eternal Set's reflection effect only worked against monsters in the Ninth World.
For PvP like this, Zhang Yue decisively swapped out his A-tier Eternal Set from his storage space and equipped the [Void Set].
Although his stats decreased slightly, the key lay in the Void Set's skill: Void Shield.
Holding the Void Staff, Zhang Yue locked onto enemies approaching him and launched attacks.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
With his SSS-tier skill Voidless: God-Slaying Curse, Zhang Yue dealt 130,000 to 140,000 damage to the surrounding Empire Guild professionals.
Each kill reset the skill's cooldown.
Voidless: God-Slaying Curse became a continuous barrage with no cooldown.
Moreover, the mana cost for subsequent uses after a reset was only 30% of the base cost.
Zhang Yue didn't need to worry about running out of mana due to the high consumption of the SSS-tier skill.
Meanwhile, 30% of the damage Zhang Yue dealt converted into a Void Shield around the Extinction Black Dragon.
In no time, the Extinction Black Dragon's shield reached five times its HP—over 600,000.
On the ground, Liu Sheng commanded, "Mages and archers, focus fire! Kill that dragon first!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
Within the attack range, dozens of archers and mages simultaneously targeted the Extinction Black Dragon and launched their attacks.
To their shock, their supposedly powerful strikes only dealt 3,000 to 4,000 damage each to the dragon.
"Impossible! How is this dragon's defense so high?" These fully gold-equipped, top-tier mages and archers of the Empire Guild were left questioning their life choices.
Their combined firepower barely managed to take out a quarter of the dragon's 600,000+ Void Shield, leaving its actual HP untouched.
Meanwhile, the dragon's counterattacks were nothing short of devastating.
Zhang Yue continued to build up the Void Shield for the dragon through his sustained high damage output, making the Extinction Black Dragon practically invincible!
At this point, Liu Sheng finally realized the problem.
Although the Empire Guild was indeed powerful and had a massive force, they had underestimated one crucial fact: in the Otherworld, a professional player's effective attack range was about 50 yards. Within this range, only a few dozen people could gather to attack at once.
The rest were stuck outside, unable to attack Zhang Yue at all.
They could only replace the fallen in the frontline, but this "relay of death" strategy was nothing more than lining up to die.
At this moment, the Extinction Black Dragon unleashed another Dragon Flame + Dragon Breath combo, instantly wiping out dozens of enemies in two different areas.
Zhang Yue followed up with Hell's Judgment, Necromancer's Storm, and Thundercloud Storm, annihilating nearly a hundred Empire Guild professionals around him and turning them into beams of light.
Within 100 meters of Zhang Yue, no one was left alive.
Outside the battlefield, the Empire Guild's troops began retreating, their faces filled with fear. Not a single person dared to approach Zhang Yue anymore.
