Chapter 305: Chapter 304: The Counterattack from the Dragon Nation!
"I've been waiting for you."
When Zhang Yue said this, the professional players from the Eastern Nation present all inexplicably felt a chill down their spines.
But it only lasted a moment, followed by a burst of uproarious laughter.
"Hahaha! This guy is killing me. He snuck in and got caught, yet he's still trying to act calm."
"Idiot, don't you know your movements were exposed long ago? To be honest, we've been waiting for you all day. And you've finally shown up."
"You're bold, coming here alone to trespass on our Eastern Empire."
It wasn't just the new professionals this year; among those from the Eastern Nation present, there were quite a few veteran professionals as well.
As everyone knew, the one arriving tonight would be the newly crowned strongest national server player from the Dragon Nation.
Their purpose in coming here was to witness firsthand how their nation's professionals would kill the national server's number one player from the Dragon Nation.
Some had even deliberately started live streams, planning to show the entire country how they tortured the Dragon Nation's professional player.
Among this group were Inoue Amano, Murai Ichiryu, Ikawa Riyo, and Kawasaki Jun.
At this moment, Emperor Murai Ichiryu stared disdainfully at Zhang Yue, sneering, "Where are your Ice Emperor, Moon Mark, and Seraph from the Dragon Nation? Are they too scared to come? So they sent a rookie like you as cannon fodder?"
Kawasaki Jun, the Shadow Ninja, fiddled with the dagger in his hand and chuckled, "I'm guessing you intended to sneak into our Eastern Nation unnoticed and ambush our professionals. Unfortunately for you, your plan has long been under surveillance. I wonder, how do you feel about this?"
"I know you came to avenge the members of the Empire Guild from your Dragon Nation who we killed yesterday. But do you think," the Witch Ikawa Riyo stared coldly at Zhang Yue, saying, "you're capable of that?"
Hearing these mocking words, even the live-stream audience couldn't stay calm.
["Damn! Looking down on us like that! They'll see they're wrong soon enough."]
["I can't take this anymore. I really want to slap Ikawa Riyo's smug face with my size 42 shoes!"]
["But how did they know Zero God would be coming in advance? Who leaked the information? With how well-prepared they are and the number of people they've brought, I'm honestly a bit worried for Zero God..."]
["The people from the Eastern Nation all have Death Marks on them. If they die here, they won't come back... Zero God!"]
While the audience watching the live stream, from Zhang Yue's perspective, saw the Eastern Nation's encirclement, they couldn't help but immerse themselves in the scene, feeling immensely nervous and anxious.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yue, the person in the middle of it all, remained calm, looking at Inoue Amano and the others with an indifferent gaze. Then he said, "Are you done?"
"If you're done, then die." Zhang Yue lowered his staff.
WHOOSH!
The SSS-rank skill Glory: War God's Physique activated, with silver light swirling around him.
Instantly, a killing intent burst forth from within.
"Who's first?"
Around him, the professionals from the Eastern Nation vied to be the first.
"Let me kill this brat!"
"Don't fight me for it, I'll take care of him!"
"This guy's head is mine! Back off, all of you!"
In their eyes, Zhang Yue obviously didn't have a Death Mark.
Even if they died, they could still revive.
Besides, this was the Eastern Nation—their home turf.
For Zhang Yue to come here alone, they believed there was no way he could return alive.
The most critical point: Zhang Yue was the one who had killed Inoue Amano's son, Inoue Kojiro.
Whoever killed Zhang Yue in front of the entire nation would go down in the Eastern Nation's history books and be remembered for all eternity. They'd also receive a generous reward from Inoue Amano.
At this moment, Inoue Amano spoke.
He stared sharply at Zhang Yue, his eyes filled with endless fury and hatred as he thought about the man who had killed his son,"Don't rush. Take your time with him. Make sure he experiences pain worse than death!"
Meanwhile, Ikawa Riyo, who was also a popular real-life streamer in the Eastern Nation, noticed the flashing red dot in front of Zhang Yue's ID. She immediately realized, "He's activated the live stream function. This fight is definitely being watched by countless people from the Dragon Nation. This battle... will make him a legend."
At this moment, a young warrior clad in fiery red armor stepped forward from the crowd.
The extraordinary aura he exuded and the ID above his head, [Lv71 Tier 3 Flame War God: Kudo Kihito], proved his exceptional status.
"To die at the hands of our Eastern Empire's newly crowned second strongest national server player is your honor."
As it turned out, Kudo Kihito was second only to Inoue Kojiro in strength.
Now that Inoue Kojiro was dead, he was logically the top player in the national server.
No wonder he was so confident.
Both were national server champions, and after the professional competition ended a week ago, Kudo Kihito had redeemed excellent rewards with his points and absorbed them. His strength was now far beyond what it had been during the competition.
So, he had absolute confidence in defeating Zhang Yue.
Without another word, Kudo Kihito raised his Flaming Sword and charged at Zhang Yue.
WHOOSH!
Under the epic Flame War God's special effect, he was enveloped in blazing flames.
His momentum was overwhelming, as if he could destroy the heavens and earth.
Zhang Yue, on the other hand, stood motionless.
Clearly, Kudo Kihito was skilled.
As he entered Zhang Yue's attack range, he began zigzagging in an S-shaped movement to avoid being ambushed.
50 yards!
40 yards!
30 yards!
BOOM!
Zhang Yue gently lifted his staff, and an SSS-rank Godslaying Curse summoned a beam of light that descended from the sky, completely ignoring Kudo Kihito's masterful dodging. The attack struck him with precision.
-1,067,000.
The full health bar above Kudo Kihito's head was instantly emptied.
Before the astonished crowd, Kudo Kihito's body disintegrated into a beam of light and disappeared.
The scene fell into a dead silence.
"What kind of damage is this...?"
"Bakayarō! This bastard... I'll kill him!"
Another Frost Armor Knight charged forward with an axe and a heavy shield.
From 50 yards away, Zhang Yue launched an SS-rank Heavenly Fire Spread that dealt 652,000 damage, sending him to the afterlife.
"I'm next!"
"Die, kid!"
"Kisama!"
The challengers from the Eastern Nation rushed at him one after another.
Yet none could withstand even a single move from Zhang Yue.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yue had killed dozens of professionals from the Eastern Nation.
Among the slain were their top-tier new professionals for the year.
Inoue Amano erupted in fury. "Bakayarō! You idiots, stop throwing yourselves at him. Everyone, attack together and kill that Dragon Nation pig!"
Kill!
With deafening roars, countless warriors and knights from the Eastern Nation charged at Zhang Yue from all directions for a close-range attack.
From the outer perimeter, archers and mages launched ranged assaults.
Arrows and magic projectiles rained down toward Zhang Yue.
Seeing this, Inoue Amano sneered coldly, "This time, let's see how you escape!"
Zhang Yue, however, remained calm and composed.
As the rain of arrows and magic fell, a deafening roar shook the heavens.
With a tear in space, a mythical thirty-six winged armageddon black dragon emerged from the void...
