“Stop!” The Dwarf Commander roared.

However, Song Jian merely sneered coldly and, seeing that the three dwarf warriors were on their last straws, he swung his left hand violently and a silver Sword Qi of three meters long swept over them.

Level three Sword Finger could cause about a hundred points of physical damage and also carried a hundred points of gold series damage. Physical damage could be mitigated by defence, while gold series damage could only be reduced by corresponding resistance.

Damages appeared above the dwarf warriors’ heads, the first damage was over a hundred, and the second was a hundred gold series damages. Apparently, their resistance to gold attributes was zero.

This single strike killed all three, leaving a piece of loot on each of their bodies; a level ten war hammer and armor.

Song Jian picked them up and saw that all three items were of white quality. He couldn’t help but purse his lips and thought to himself: cheapskates.

“You dared to kill them!” The Dwarf Commander’s face was flushed and his hands gripping the staff turned white from anger.

“Didn’t we agree to fight till death separates us?” Song Jian looked surprised and couldn’t help asking.

At this, the Dwarf Commander fell silent, then roared angrily and turned to run away, even giving up the entrance to Imperial Dragon Demon Palace.

The rest of the NPCs exchanged glances, a trace of relief in their eyes. It was fortunate they didn’t rashly throw their fighters into the fray. This deity’s power made him a match for a level-twenty elite boss.

Song Jian glanced at the other NPCs, all of whom gave him room to pass without a word, settling disapproving eyes on him.

Seeing Song Jian swagger over, players in the back began to argue, some wondering if it were a test – defeat an NPC to upgrade their position.

Some people got restless, but a level-15 elite NPC versus their own abilities was like getting doused with cold water from head to toe.

“Maybe we can gang up against an NPC?” speculated a player. But not one dared to try it out.

Crack, Crack~

Suddenly a crack appeared at the mouth of the cave. The ground collapsed and everyone moved away.

“Imperial Dragon Demon Palace is about to emerge!” An NPC hollered, his eyes gleaming.

Just then, an oval-shaped portal materialized in the center of the abandoned factory, from which several people emerged.

A team of more than a dozen humans, all above level ten, were made up of warriors, mages, assassins, and priests. Even facing an enemy several levels higher, there was no fear.

At the forefront of the group was a handsome young man with a perpetual gentle smile. He gave off an unapproachable vibe, though his face was open to interpretation.

Wearing a luxurious suit and devoid of any weapons, he looked around after stepping out of the portal, laughing: “Dr. Mika-ra’s locator isn’t half bad. Very precise. You’ll see a 30% increase in your research funding for the next quarter.”

The group headed straight towards the cave entrance, ignoring the surrounding NPCs and players.

In comparison to the first group of NPCs, these people looked more like elite soldiers, where the first group of NPCs seemed more like a wildling band.

“The son of Count Qian Dahai from the City of Sin, Qian Xiaohao!” Proclaimed an NPC, recognizing the leading young man.

“The son of a count? Dammit, wherever there are benefits, there are these guys…”

“I’ve heard that Count Qian Dahai is on his death bed. Qian Xiaohao is his only son, the title will surely be his eventually…”

“Hmph, that’s not necessarily the case. I’ve heard Count Qian Dahai sold a core skill from their family inheritance. It’s crucial; if he can’t become the character from the legend, even if he is the count’s only son, he won’t necessarily be Jis successor…”

The City of Sin is a level-three city; the power that Count Qian Dahai wields as a count is formidable. Qian Xiaohao, being his only heir, commands respect despite not having total control over his family’s affairs.

Qian Xiaohao looks like a playboy, but in reality his level had already reached eighteen. He has got two level-twenty followers by his side, their power on par with a level-twenty elite boss. Qian has recruited them himself as his loyal sidekicks.

The City of Sin is far from Doomsday City and it’s been less than half an hour since the appearance of the Imperial Dragon Demon Palace. Yet, in such a short time, Qian Dahai had received the news and was transported nearby. Clearly, somebody in Doomsday City must have tipped him off.

Song Jian slightly frowned upon hearing the NPCs conversations— the name Count Qian Dahai was too familiar. Wasn’t that the NPC that he had traded Sword Finger with? The ‘core skill’ these NPCs were talking about was probably Sword Finger.

Just then, an NPC with wings at his back approached, making a greeting at Qian Xiaohao and said: “Young Master Qian, long time no see. Your messages are indeed swift. The Imperial Dragon Demon Palace hasn’t appeared for half an hour and you’ve already had your transmission array set up. The preciseness simply makes one gasp in admiration!”

Qian Xiaohao glanced nonchalantly at him, his smile not lessening. He casually returned a greeting: “If it isn’t the Soka family’s Young Master Feiyu. I thought you were practicing in the wilderness battleground. How did you get here? Are your brothers aware of your presence here?”

Young Master Feiyu’s face changed. The Soka family followed the law of survival but at any cost, all family successors, after reaching adulthood, are sent away to fend for themselves. So, assassinations between brothers are common. As the ninth in line, ‘Feiyu Soka’ had always claimed he was training in the wilderness battleground, but was actually sneaking into Doomsday City. If his older brothers found out, they would send a team of assassins after him.

“Young Master Qian, you joke too much. The Imperial Dragon Demon Palace is about to open, and why don’t you stand next to me? Then, it would be easier to get the majority of the loot,” Young Master Feiyu suggested.
