This assassin is upright

Chapter 338 Clash of the Divine Children

"Basic procedure, stay calm."

Yu Zhun remained unfazed by the strange looks from his teammates.

If the two [Divine Blood Bones] and the large amount of equipment and items here previously made passing players suspicious and hesitant to approach, then after Yu Zhun's intervention, this place, now with only one [Divine Blood Bone] remaining, has become a complete trap.

As soon as any player discovers the existence of this [Divine Blood Bone] and tries to approach it, they will be met with a surprise attack from the invisible rift.

"If I'm not mistaken, the other teams should have already guessed that we obtained more than half of the [Divine Blood Bone], and may even have a way to pinpoint our location." Yu Zhun had a candle appear in his hand at some point, and with a casual flick of his wrist, a portal to a hidden realm opened.

"Shall we watch the show next?"

"You're really cunning," Lu Wen clicked his tongue. "Who would have thought that someone with the talent 'Upright and Honest' could be this cunning?"

"Then you can stay outside by yourself," Yu Zhun said with a forced smile.

"That won't work!"

Without hesitation, Lu Wen entered the hidden realm. "Collecting [Divine Blood and Bones] during this time has exhausted me. I need to rest!"

The other three also entered the hidden realm with smiles on their faces.

Yu Zhun was the last to enter. With a casual wave of his hand, the portal to the hidden realm instantly closed, making it invisible from the outside.

Within the hidden realm, the scene outlined by candlelight reveals the outside world.

Yu Zhun and the others did not have to wait long. Only half a day later, there was new activity outside the hidden realm.

The group cautiously approached, their bodies radiating an astonishing aura.

“They’re from the Fifth Divine District.” Helmod was the first to recognize the outsiders, then looked at the other three walking in front of them.

“People from the 73rd Divine District are also here.”

"What's going on?" Lu Wen couldn't help but ask, "Have they teamed up?"

“How is that possible?” Yu Zhun rolled his eyes at Lu Wen helplessly. “The 73rd Divine District doesn’t even have a single Divine Child, while the 5th Divine District has five Divine Child-level players teaming up to conquer it.”

"Moreover, the team from the 73rd Divine District only has three members left at this moment, which is not the complete lineup."

"Under these circumstances, how could the Fifth Divine District possibly be interested in them?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the two missing members of the Seventy-Third Divine District team were killed by the Fifth Divine District."

"As for the remaining few..." Yu Zhun didn't finish his sentence, but instead looked at Helmod.

“They were just captured to test the traps,” Helmod said calmly. “If they fell into the hands of these five people in the Fifth Divine District, the three of them would die anyway. Perhaps the five divine sons offered some benefits to make them willingly take the lead and clear the way for them.”

"As for why we did this..." Helmod and Yu Zhun exchanged a glance and spoke almost simultaneously.

"Invisible spatial rift!"

"Looks like there's no way I can trick the people in the Fifth God District." Yu Zhun sighed, a hint of regret in his eyes.

With the Seventy-Third Divine District having paved the way, it was impossible for the five divine sons of the Fifth Divine District to suffer casualties in the small trap he had set in advance.

“It’s alright.” Helmod said calmly, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit. “This is also an opportunity for us.”

"We made a name for ourselves in the first job advancement stage, but we are still not well-known in the second job advancement stage."

"If we could defeat all five of them head-on..."

Upon hearing Helmod's words, a glint flashed in the eyes of Yu Zhun and the other three.

Indeed, if we could defeat the five divine sons of the Fifth Divine District head-on and shatter their myth of invincibility…

Then all the second-tier powerhouses will have to re-evaluate them!

Under the tense gaze of Yu Zhun and others, the people outside had already discovered the [Divine Blood Bone] that had fallen to the ground.

As Helmod had predicted, the five divine children of the Fifth Divine District made no move, but simply gestured to one of the players in the Seventy-Third Divine District to pick up the [Divine Blood Bone].

With sufficient caution and all members possessing god-level combat power, such an opponent does indeed inspire some apprehension.

Without a sound, the player who stepped forward was cut in half at the waist, and a hidden spatial rift was revealed, causing the remaining two players from the 73rd God Zone to show expressions of shared sorrow.

"It's time to go out." Yu Zhun took a deep breath, waved his hand, and the portal to the hidden world opened.

The five of them rushed out of the gate at the same time. Having prepared in advance, they attacked almost simultaneously the moment they stepped out of the hidden realm.

In an instant, the blazing golden holy fire and the overwhelming rain of arrows swept towards the newcomers. Yu Zhun and Lu Wen flashed and quickly approached the opponent's core priest player.

However, the five divine sons of the Fifth Divine District remained completely calm in the face of this sudden attack.

They seemed to have anticipated that Yu Zhun and the others would make their move at this moment. A towering light barrier blocked all attacks, while countless vines stretched out from nowhere, blocking Yu Zhun and Lu Wen.

As for the two players from the 73rd God Zone, they were turned into cannon fodder and killed on the spot the moment the two sides clashed.

"Hermod, hand over your [Divine Blood Bone], and I might let you die a little easier." The leading Divine Child-level player from the Fifth Divine District spoke calmly, his gaze fixed on Hermod, as if no one else was worthy of his attention.

"Palai, you're being a bit too arrogant." Helmod raised his staff high and forcefully slammed the end of the magic circle into the ground. Streams of holy fire shot into the sky, sweeping towards the leading divine son like fire dragons.

"Rinse your mouth more often before entering a dungeon next time."

“Heh…” Palai chuckled coldly, his eyes filled with obvious anger. “You won’t listen to reason, so you’ll have to suffer the consequences.”

"The realm of a second-stage cultivator is far beyond what your first-stage childish games can compare to!" Palai gripped his longbow tightly, and arrows shot out in an instant, tearing the fire dragon to shreds.

"Don't think that just because you've made some small moves and achieved some minor successes in the Fourth Divine District, you can provoke your seniors at will." Palai looked at Helmod indifferently. "I will show you your weakness."

"Tsk!" Lu Wen clicked his tongue in annoyance, slashing his longsword and cutting down the vines that were blocking his way. He couldn't help but shout, "This guy is even more of a show-off than me. Can I take him down?!"

"Not really," Yu Zhun said with a chuckle. "If it were me going to deal with him, you'd be too green."

"What? You're saying I'm green?" Lu Wen brandished his longsword in the air a couple of times. "Why don't you take your pants off and have a contest?"

Yu Zhun: "...Nonsense!"

"Alright, let's get down to business." Yu Zhun shook his head, stomped his foot, and was already in front of Palai. "Xiao He, let me handle this guy."

"After all, he seemed a bit difficult to deal with."

“Okay,” Helmod said calmly.

After the exchange just now, he also realized his disadvantage.

Although his talent level was higher than his opponent's, the difference in their attributes was still too great.

"Be careful, don't kill him."

"I know!" Yu Zhun gave a "no problem" gesture.

For no particular reason, he didn't want to offend the Fifth Divine District too much.

"Perfect timing, let's try out the toy I just got."

A hint of a smile flashed in Yu Zhun's eyes, and he stomped his foot suddenly.

A white beam of light instantly engulfed him and Palai, then shot into the sky. The two rose higher and higher, eventually landing on an aerial battle arena. This was the [Celestial Restricted Battlefield] that Ji Chen had used against him. After Ji Chen was killed, it fell and naturally became Yu Zhun's spoils of war.

Having never encountered any worthy opponents before, Yu Zhun had never used this technique before; this was the first time he had used it in battle.

but…

He has already figured out how to use this equipment.

"Who...do you think you are?"

Palai looked at Yu Zhun with a gloomy face.

As a god-level player in the fifth god zone, he believes that even god zones ranked outside the top ten are not worthy of speaking to him.

Yu Zhun was nothing more than an ant from a server with a player ranking over 40,000. He felt insulted to even fight against such a player.

What Helmod said to Yu Zhun made him even angrier.

Be careful, don't kill yourself?
How long ago did Palai become so weak that he had to worry about being killed?
"What am I?" Yu Zhun was so angry at the other party's words that he laughed. "Even the strongest disciple of Tianxu Divine Palace wouldn't dare to talk to me like that."

"Old man, I think you've been out of touch with the world for too long!"

"Never mind." Yu Zhun appeared behind Palai like a ghost, his dagger slashing fiercely at the opponent's longbow.

"Today, I'll let you get to know me properly."

"Ping—"

With the sound of weapons clashing, Palai's expression changed drastically, and his body flew backward uncontrollably.

Why is the opponent, who is clearly a level 64 player, more powerful than me, a level 80 player?
Yu Zhun did not answer, but instead leaned forward.

Over the past period, he has killed more than 100 players, but most of them are the Ruins Killers who roam around the [Forbidden Ruins] and may appear at any time.

With the X2 level [Power of Greed] buff, Yu Zhun's attributes have increased several times over, making him capable of competing with Lv80.

How can Palai, an archer, engage in close-quarters combat with an assassin skilled in melee?

"Om-"

With a low hum, Palai's figure vanished into a puff of smoke the instant Yu Zhun's blade struck him.

His attack missed its mark, and Yu Zhun landed firmly on the ground as countless arrows swept towards him from behind like a rainstorm.

Yu Zhun remained calm and composed as he spoke.

"No flying objects allowed in this area."

The next instant, all the arrows seemed to encounter an invisible resistance, suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then fell to the ground and quickly dissipated.

“You…” Palai’s pupils suddenly contracted.

Even Yu Zhun himself was stunned when he first saw such a method, so the shock Palai felt at this moment goes without saying.

Undeterred, he drew his bow again, but the arrow seemed to lose all its power as soon as it left the bowstring, falling to the ground instantly.

"It works quite well." Yu Zhun smiled with satisfaction, looking at Palai with a mocking expression. "The dignified Divine Son of the Fifth Divine District, is this all you've got?"

Palai: "..."

His face flushed instantly, and the anger in his eyes almost materialized and burst forth.

I'm an archer, and you're banning flying objects?

"Hehehe..." Palai chuckled in a low, hoarse voice, a chilling killing intent surging in his eyes. "Very good!"

"How dare a tiny ant mock me!"

"Dark Realm, open!"

With a low shout from Palai, a dark energy surged outwards from him, rapidly engulfing Yu Zhun.

"Snapped!"

Yu Zhun snapped his fingers. "This area is a forbidden zone."

The expansion of the dark energy came to an abrupt halt, revealing Palai's face, which was filled with shock and anger, and constantly changing color as if a dye shop had been opened.

The [Sky Dome Forbidden Battlefield] even had its effects sealed off by Yu Zhun's seven-colored title [Withered End]. No matter how powerful Palai's unknown methods are, he has to keep a low profile.

Although he didn't know where Ji Chen got such a good thing from, Yu Zhun was sincerely grateful to him now that it was in his hands.

Once again having his abilities sealed by Yu Zhun, Palai finally calmed down from his rage and realized how troublesome his opponent was.

"It seems you can finally have a proper conversation." Yu Zhun chuckled. "Be thankful you were born into a good family. If you weren't the chosen one of the Fifth Divine District, you would have died long ago."

“I have no interest in killing you, nor am I interested in being killed by you.” Yu Zhun pointed down, where the teammates of both sides were currently fighting. “So, let’s both patiently wait for their outcome.”

These few words reignited Palai's anger.

If he weren't the chosen one of the Fifth Divine District, he would have died long ago.
He clenched his fists tightly and silently looked down.

After a brief exchange, the battle has now become one-sided.

In terms of output alone, the Fifth God Zone's Divine Child, with a lower talent level but stronger attributes, actually has the advantage.

Unfortunately, they have Yu Zhu here.

As Yu Zhu pulled out bottle after bottle of potions from his backpack, the other three teammates attacked relentlessly, like cockroaches that could never die.

When their attacks emptied the health bars of the Fifth Divine District's Divine Children, but the expected health-locking effect failed to trigger, Palai's eyes finally showed disbelief and emotion.

"Ignore the lock-on skill... Level 4 talent?!"

"Congratulations, you got it right." Yu Zhun smiled slightly. After the other four divine sons were all killed, he snapped his fingers and led the completely dumbfounded Palai back to the battlefield.

In the end, Pallai was consumed by Helmod's holy fire, and he himself seemed to have completely given up resisting, leaving behind only a large number of equipment and items, and a series of [Divine Blood Bones] that shone with red light.

“It’s over.” Helmod took a deep breath, his eyes filled with excitement.

He could already foresee the kind of attention and reward he would receive after leaving this place and returning to the Fourth Divine District.

After all, the Fourth and Fifth God Zones have always been rivals!
"If we become rich and powerful, let's not forget each other." Yu Zhun patted Helmod on the shoulder and smiled. "Let's take stock of our spoils."

"A total of 109 [Divine Blood Bones]." Yu Zhu carefully put away the other party's [Divine Blood Bones], counted them, and then spoke.

“It’s 110.” Yu Zhun casually waved his hand, and the [Divine Blood Bone] that they had used as bait flew into his hand.

"The Fifth Divine District has incorporated the Seventy-Third Divine District, so these [Divine Blood Bones] are practically all that players have obtained."

“The remaining 22 should still be hidden in various corners of the [Forbidden Ruins of the Gods].” A glint of light flashed in Yu Zhun’s eyes.

The good news is that they will no longer face threats from players; the only threat they will face is the instance itself.

The bad news is that the threat from dungeons is considerable.
