Chapter 328 Attack on the Land of Death!
"Roar--"

Upon seeing Yu Zhun and the other four again, a flash of blood appeared in Pelopas's empty eyes, followed by a roar like that of a wild beast.

"It's the warrior's advanced skill, [Wild Power]." Lu Wen spoke rapidly, and as he spoke, he stomped his foot, and under the effect of the equipment effect [Shadow Chaser], his figure instantly appeared behind Perofas.

[Wild Power: Reduces own Agility by 40%, gains 200% Physical Attack bonus for 10 seconds, 20-second cooldown]

Perofas's use of this skill means that his agility has been reduced to its absolute limit.

Lu Wen, thanks to his passive skill, possesses exceptional agility, and even if his opponent is several times stronger than him, he dares to draw his sword!
"Ping—"

With a clang of metal on metal, Lu Wen's longsword struck Pelopas's back armor with a heavy blow. However, instead of a hit notification, a message appeared that the attack had been blocked.

“It’s the mage’s advanced skill, [Symphony of Refraction].” Helmod raised his staff high, his gaze cold as he looked at Perofas, and a soaring golden holy flame ignited instantly.

"Lu Wen, step back!"

Pelopas turned around with a roar, swinging his longsword to try and hit Lu Wen, but Yu Zhun's domain skill arrived at the right time, causing his body to freeze uncontrollably for a moment, giving Lu Wen time to retreat calmly.

The next instant, Helmod's sacred fire descended from the sky, completely engulfing Pelopas and the entire space around him.

【Symphony of Refraction: Enters a refraction state for 3 seconds. When attacked by melee attacks, the attack is automatically blocked. Cooldown: 15 seconds】

Having torn away the veil of mystery surrounding Pelopas, all his actions became traceable. When Yu Zhun and the other four realized that they were familiar with all the skills Pelopas used, countermeasures naturally emerged.

Under Helmod's extremely high damage amplification, Perofas' mana bar was instantly emptied.

For a player who can use the full set of skills from all five classes, running out of mana is absolutely fatal.

Pelopas let out a furious roar of resentment, and in the next instant, he gripped a dagger in each hand and charged at Yu Zhun, who was closest to him.

"Be careful, it's a general advanced skill, [The Ultimate in War]!" Lu Wen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke in a deep voice.

Among the sword dance skills mentioned earlier, this is the superior skill of [Peerless Sword Dance]. This skill inherits all the effects of [Peerless Sword Dance], but the active effect has been changed to passive.

In other words, even without mana, one can still unleash ultimate melee abilities and switch weapons at will!

"Come on." Yu Zhun took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly blazing with killing intent, and without hesitation, he grabbed a pair of daggers and charged forward.

"Ping—"

With a clang of metal clashing, the two men's weapons simultaneously blocked each other, and an immense force instantly transferred from the other's dagger to Yu Zhun's dagger, and then to his body.

His body jolted violently, and blood trickled from the corner of Yu Zhun's mouth. But his eyes were filled with a frenzied and soaring fighting spirit. Instead of retreating, he advanced and engaged in a fierce battle with Perofas.

Meanwhile, Yu Zhu, Helmod, Udir, and Lu Wen each used their own methods to coordinate with Yu Zhun's attack and disrupt Pelopas.

What about server 0?
So what if you can use all the professional skills?

Don't try to teach others what you don't know if you don't have complete rules!
At this moment, all the effects of his equipment were activated simultaneously, and Yu Zhun's momentum rose steadily. With a roar, his dagger finally pierced through Perofas's chest.

"Pfft-"

With the sound of a blade piercing flesh, Perofas's health bar was instantly emptied by the one-hit kill.

His body trembled incessantly, and a strange emotion flickered in his empty eyes, seemingly a mixture of admiration and regret.

The next instant, he, like the other deceased players, turned to ashes and vanished.

A bright passage then appeared, with the other side leading straight down to a lower area.

The space they are currently in is the fusion of the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth floors of the Tower of Spirit Transformation. Continuing downwards leads to the final part of the [Death Burial Pit], a mysterious realm of the dead.

However, at this moment, Yu Zhun and the other four did not enter immediately.

They stood there, panting heavily, then looked at each other and gradually revealed expressions of joy.

"We really killed him?" Udyr couldn't help but ask.

“That’s right.” Lu Wen laughed heartily, “What kind of bullshit sixth profession is that? It’s all bullshit in front of us!”

"Why are you so smug? It was clearly Yu Zhun who killed the opponent's main attacker." Helmod shook his head speechlessly.

Lu Wen hesitated for a moment, then muttered unhappily, "It's just that I contracted a magical beast and have a second talent."

"Once I've collected enough God and Demon Medals, I'll give it a try!"

However, Lu Wen knew that even if he collected enough God and Demon Medals in the future, he probably wouldn't have the chance to do so again.

After all, such a thing could not possibly appear in the God and Demon Shop; it could only be exchanged in the Treasure Pavilion of the God and Demon Palace. And Lu Wen, at the second stage of his transformation, would almost certainly not have the opportunity to enter the Treasure Pavilion.

Once Lu Wen enters the Treasure Pavilion after the third reincarnation, even if he obtains a divine beast or magical beast and hatches it, he will no longer have the heaven-defying ability of a second talent.

Mythical beasts and magical beasts are incredibly powerful aids for second-tier players, but for third-tier players, they are merely adding another teammate of the same tier.

"Let's rest for a bit before entering the Land of Death." Yu Zhun shook his head with a wry smile, a sharp glint in his eyes.

Having experienced a sudden surge in difficulty in the Tower of Spirits, and even encountering an absurd opponent like Perofas, he was equally wary of his upcoming journey to the Land of Death.

The other four people also thought of this, and after a relaxed conversation, their expressions gradually became serious.

After adjusting themselves to their best condition, Yu Zhun and the other four exchanged glances and then rushed into the passage.

After a dizzying spin, they found themselves in a completely new space.

The next moment, the sounds of laughter and hawking reached my ears.

Yu Zhun and his group of five felt their eyes light up, and what appeared next was a bright and bustling market.

At the market, numerous vendors hawked their wares, and children carrying food weaved through the crowded streets.

Everything looked like an ordinary city, a stark contrast to the eerie, death-filled atmosphere of the previous three dungeons, making it seem like heaven and hell were worlds apart.

“This…is this the land of death…” Udyr stared in disbelief at his surroundings.

Although Yu Zhun had mentioned the unusual nature of the Kingdom of Death beforehand, she was still stunned for a long time after witnessing such a sudden change. Many passersby even cast curious glances at Udir because of his bewildered expression.

“It seems the Heart of Death has worked,” Helmod said slowly. “They haven’t shown any hostility towards us.”

"Hmm." Yu Zhun nodded, his gaze sweeping across the market and landing on the very center of the space.

There stands a magnificent and enormous hall.

The final boss of the Death Pit exists in that hall. Once you safely enter the hall, activate the boss's full state with the Heart of Death, and defeat it, the Death Pit dungeon walkthrough will be complete.

Under normal circumstances, the existence of the "Heart of Death" makes the process very simple.

But with such a major change occurring in the Tower of Spirit Transformation, will the Kingdom of Death really turn out as they expect?
Thinking of this, Yu Zhun couldn't help but clench the [Heart of Death] tightly in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Get to the hall as fast as possible."

The other four responded and then simultaneously sped through the bustling streets.

Soon, a figure blocked their way.

"Stop!"

The other party gave a low shout, and a terrifying aura surged from his body. "The King has ordered the investigation of all suspicious persons within the city." "Which district are you residents of? What are your names? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Upon hearing the question, Yu Zhun and the other four men's expressions changed simultaneously.

This is an unexpected turn of events that wasn't included in the strategy guide!
The king is the final boss they need to kill.

Now that the other side has actually ordered the investigation of suspicious persons in the city in advance, it means that there will be new variables in their journey to the final palace!

Please state your name?

There is no doubt that they could not possibly give the correct name.

So they only have one path ahead of them...

Thinking of this, Yu Zhun and the other four exchanged glances.

"Take action!"

With a low shout, Yu Zhun and Lu Wen appeared one after the other in front of each other, their daggers and longswords slashing at each other simultaneously.

Udyr's arrows and Helmod's sacred fire simultaneously enveloped the area, and Yu Zhu, in the distance, also made his move.

In an instant, the leader of the Death Kingdom was subdued on the spot. Yu Zhun covered the man's mouth with one hand, took out a lit candle from the void with the other, opened a portal in the void, and kicked him into the Hidden Realm.

After finishing all this, Yu Zhun wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead.

"It's done."

The creatures of the Land of Death are different from those of other places. Because they are born from death and are formed from the ultimate death, they possess the characteristic of immortality. They cannot be truly killed and can be resurrected continuously.

Moreover, each time they are resurrected, they release a large amount of death aura, which is easily detected in the realm of death, like a speck of ink on a blank sheet of paper.

Therefore, you cannot kill those from the land of death.

"Fortunately, Yu Zhun has a secret treasure." Udir shook his head with relief. "This problem is solved."

“Not necessarily.” Helmod shook his head, not as optimistic as Udyr. “This may only be the first hurdle.”

At this point, he couldn't help but look up at the central hall.

At this moment, the path to that hall seemed exceptionally long, with numerous obstacles in its way.

Although they managed to detain the minor leader using the secret treasure, Yu Zhun and his group of five were still not entirely confident that they could deceive everyone.

While discussing the changes to the instance, the five did not remain where they were, but instead changed their route and headed towards the palace.

500 meters... 1000 meters... 2000 meters...

The five of them traversed the streets, encountering similar interrogations several times. However, after the first encounter, Yu Zhun and his companions were more experienced and, almost the instant the questioner opened their mouth, they swiftly subdued them and sent them into the hidden realm.

The journey seemed to go smoothly, but the expressions of the five people grew increasingly solemn.

The closer you get to the palace, the more densely you'll encounter the interrogating officers.

If this trend continues...

"stop!"

A towering figure descended from the sky, blocking Yu Zhun and the others. He held a long sword in his hand, and a chilling killing intent appeared in his eyes as he looked at Yu Zhun and the other four.

"The king has decreed that anyone who continues forward will be killed without mercy!"

Sure enough, here it comes!
The expressions of Yu Zhun and the other four men simultaneously turned serious.

The guy in front of them was much stronger than the previous leader, and instead of questioning them, he directly stopped them from moving forward.

"I'm sorry, but we have to move forward." Yu Zhun said in a deep voice, while simultaneously gripping his dagger and appearing in front of the other person in an instant.

"Ping—"

A sharp clang of metal clashing suddenly rang out as the iron-towered man's longsword collided with Yu Zhun's dagger. At the same time, Yu Zhun's [Silent Shackles] enveloped both of them, causing the iron-towered man's body to stiffen uncontrollably for a moment.

The others simultaneously made their move, attempting to replicate the process by sending him into the hidden realm for temporary suppression.

But at that very moment, something unexpected happened.

"Enemy attack!!!"

After the man in the iron tower swayed violently, he suddenly roared and plunged his longsword into his own chest.

"Bear--"

The soaring aura of death caused the expressions of Yu Zhun and the other four to turn grim.

This guy…

Before they could even make a move, he simply chose to commit suicide!

No, this is a land of death; even if the other party commits suicide, they won't die!

As the man with the iron tower pulled his longsword out of the wound that pierced his heart, the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his previously depleted health bar was instantly restored to full.

Seeing the grim faces of Yu Zhun and his group of five, the towering man grinned, revealing a sinister smile. "Enemy attackers, you won't escape!"

Almost immediately after he finished speaking, powerful auras enveloped the area from all directions.

The Iron Tower Man's reinforcements have arrived, and the powerful figures who have arrived here are no less strong than the Iron Tower Man.

Moreover, they all possess the characteristic of immortality!
"Damn it!" Lu Wen cursed under his breath, "We're doomed!"

With so many immortal beings blocking their way, even if they themselves are not killed, they will definitely not be able to enter the hall!
"Not necessarily." At this moment, Yu Zhun suddenly calmed down.

Looking at the smug man in front of him, a glint flashed in his eyes, and in the next instant, the dagger plunged into the man's chest.

"It's useless!" the towering man laughed arrogantly. "Here, I am immortal..."

Before he could finish speaking, the man in the iron tower suddenly froze, his eyes wide with terror as he looked at Yu Zhun, who had pulled out a dagger.

The wound in his heart had not healed.

His health bar had been depleted, and he didn't respond.

As the life force in his eyes gradually faded, the man in the iron tower collapsed heavily to the ground with an incredulous expression, and then turned into ashes.

The other four were startled, then suddenly realized something, and their eyes lit up with ecstatic joy.

It's the passive skill of the [King of Assassins]!

The effect of being unable to resurrect in any form after being killed also applies to the creatures of the Death Realm!

Killed by Yu Zhun, immortality is nullified!
