The Fourth Disaster: People become gods through high martial arts and gaming

Chapter 298 The Abyss Dragon Drinks Thunder, the Broken Edge Opens the Universe!
"died?"

"This must be a dream! How could Moxiao, one of the seven guardians of the Smiling Skull, possibly be dead!"

The sudden death of the demon in mid-air plunged all the major forces in Crimson Moon Town into absolute silence, and they couldn't look away for a long time.

Even the Earth Star Pharmaceuticals and players fighting on the other side stopped what they were doing because of the death of Demon Ape, staring in disbelief at the slowly dissipating giant door and the thousands of longswords that filled the sky.

"Is this Master Lin's true strength?"

Precia stared wide-eyed at the demon that had turned into a bloody mist in mid-air. She couldn't believe that the demon, who was famous throughout the four regions, would die at the hands of Lin Qi, who was only at the Bone Forging Realm. It was simply a fantasy.

"To kill the demon in one move, what level of martial skill is that?" Hu Lei, who was in the distance, stared intently at Lin Qi, his eyes full of surprise and curiosity.

Even though Hu Lei had lived for so many years and had a good understanding of the situation in the Four Regions, he had never seen such a terrifying martial art before.

The way this technique utilizes qi and blood and strength is simply unbelievable. Any extraordinary martial arts technique is as naive as an infant in front of it.

“If I’m not mistaken, this martial art should be the legendary Transcendent Rank Martial Art!” Zhuogu looked at the thousand longswords in the sky and said with envy and longing, “I always thought that only the Domain City had mastered such a martial art. I didn’t expect that the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall also has such a martial art. This trip was really worthwhile.”

As he spoke, Zhuogu closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, frantically recalling Lin Qi's attack from just now, trying to completely engrave this move into his mind. This prompted Hulei, who was standing next to him, to quickly confirm with the others whether they had recorded that move.

Beyond Limit Level Martial Skill!

Even mastering just a fraction of these legendary martial arts techniques would be of great help to a Blood Condensation Realm martial artist. If one could fully master them, it wouldn't be impossible to break through to the Celestial Realm in the future.

"Is the Master really that powerful?" Fang Zhen was also shocked as he looked at the thousand longswords wreathed in lightning floating above Crimson Moon Town.

Although they already knew that the master of the obsidian martial arts school, Lin Qi, was the strongest NPC in the school and was beyond the players' reach, they still found it unbelievable to see Lin Qi actually make a move.

While he struggled to even fire a single Railgun Type 2 Mod, Lin Qi was able to control a thousand longswords, each possessing power comparable to the Railgun Type 2 Mod.

But the most terrifying thing was that a high-level Blood Condensation Realm BOSS was instantly killed by Lin Qi, which was simply too much for the players to bear.

"So cool! Brothers and sisters, did you see that? This plot-driven kill scene is so spectacular, I give it full marks. The master's last move was absolutely amazing. It's a pity you didn't get to experience it. The feeling of being there is indescribable." Xiao Yuan also stared wildly at Lin Qi, who was hovering above the town, holding a precious pearl and having a thousand swords hanging high in the air, and couldn't help but comment.

Meanwhile, Xiaoyuan's crazy live stream room was also in an uproar.

"Holy crap! The battle scenes are spectacular. If this game were used for CG promotion, I bet it would be a huge hit."

"I'm curious, can players learn this move from the NPC? If so, I'll pre-register right now!"

"I feel like this game could be made into a movie. Why don't you stop making walkthroughs for now and make a movie in the game first? It'll definitely be a huge hit."

"The combat in this game is getting better and better. I wonder when the open beta will be released so that we players can conquer cities everywhere. My sword is itching for a fight. If the game developers don't release the open beta soon, the number one game of the year, Eternal Journey to Immortality, will be released in a couple of days. It might steal away a lot of players like me."

"I heard that the virtuality of Immortal Path Eternal is over 85%. Now that you mention it, I might as well give it a try. Anyway, I can't get a beta test qualification for this game, so it wouldn't hurt to check out Immortal Path Eternal first."

"It would be best if you all went to Immortal Path Eternal, then let me play High Martial Descent. That way I can get a beta test qualification. Otherwise, I've been practicing that visualization method and basic martial arts in the test space lately, which is really boring."

"I also think the more people go to the Immortal Path of Eternity, the better. That way, I can avoid getting caught up in the competition. This game has become too competitive lately. Newcomers who were in the same group as me before would be lucky to practice for two or three hours a day in the test space. Now, these people are practically animals. In order to be selected, they won't log off the game for at least eight hours a day. It's even making me sleep less."

……

The viewers in the live stream chatted excitedly, watching the battle in Red Moon Town in the game, especially seeing Lin Qi's grand battle scenes, which were unlike anything in other virtual games.

They couldn't wait to rush into the test space to practice visualization techniques and basic martial arts skills, enter the game as soon as possible, and become a strong player like Master Lin Qi. They wanted to lead other players to dominate the game in various cities and the strongholds of many forces, experience being a superhero, and enjoy the realistic combat that felt like punches to the bone.

Above the wreckage of the giant skyship in Crimson Moon Town.

"Everyone, ground combat! Karard, you're coming with us to take care of Lin Qi!"

The elder of the Orc race among the Twelve Monsters of the Forbidden Forest looked at the slain Demon Ape and, without hesitation, turned to Beast Karad and gave the order to surround and attack Lin Qi.

"Mangfu, are you crazy! He killed Moxiao!" Baishou Kalad was shocked as he looked at the orc elder who gave the order.

The Twelve Monsters of the Forbidden Forest and their group are currently only evenly matched with the gray-robed disciples of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy. With his combat strength comparable to the mid-stage of the Blood Condensation Realm, it would be a dead end for him to go against Lin Qi, who is capable of killing a Blood Condensation Realm expert like Mo Xiao.

"He just used such a martial skill, and his vital energy has been almost completely depleted. If we don't kill him now and cause chaos among the major forces, death will be all that awaits us!"

The orc elder, Mang Fu, glanced at Hundred Beasts Karad and directly stated the key point.

"Can we?" Beast Karad glanced at Lin Qi, who had landed in the distance, and felt a little nervous.

Although judging from Lin Qi's pale face, he has indeed consumed a lot of energy, Lin Qi is still a master who has killed the demon.

If they cannot quickly deal with Lin Qi, and Lin Qi joins forces with the other gray-robed disciples, death awaits them.

"Don't worry, even if that demon demon were to get hurt if the twelve of us joined forces, it would be no match for Lin Qi right now," Mang Fu replied confidently. "We'll attack them now, and you have all the Bone Forging Realm cultivators hold off these gray-robed disciples."

Beast Karad gritted his teeth, glanced at all the major forces present, and agreed to Rampage's suggestion: "Alright!"

The top management of Earthstar Pharmaceuticals has given him a death order. He has suffered such heavy losses this time, so he must complete the task. Otherwise, the outcome he faces will not be much better than death.

In an instant, the Twelve Monsters of the Forbidden Forest, the Bloodstained Warrior Melia, and others, together with the Beast Carradine, rushed towards Lin Qi, while the thousands of Bone Forging Realm warriors on the ground blocked the players.

"Damn it! These bosses are going to gang up on the sect leader!" Yi Ye Fuyun exclaimed anxiously as he watched the thirteen Blood Condensation Realm bosses rush towards Lin Qi in the blink of an eye. "Does the plot have to go this far?!"

The game description for "High Martial Arts Descends" clearly states that players assist the martial arts master Lin Qi in developing and expanding the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy. All NPCs in the game are non-resurrectable. If Master Lin Qi dies, the game ends. Of course, for the game developers, this would likely mean shutting down the closed beta, erasing all data, and starting from scratch. This is something players who invested so much effort in the closed beta definitely don't want.

"These bosses can't be allowed to live! Yi Ye, give me your spear." Ye Qinglu's face turned cold as she watched Mang Fu and the others speed away.

"Qingwei, you guys create opportunities for me. We absolutely cannot let them get close to the Master!" Luo Wushang took out a bottle of berserk potion and gave the order directly.

"Alright!" Zhang Qingwei looked at Luo Wushang, who had taken out the berserk potion, and understood that Luo Wushang was planning to use the sword technique that the plot BOSS in the prison used in his final desperate attempt.

The swordsmanship of that story boss was extraordinary. Combined with the combat data of the boss at the Celestial Realm obtained from the martial arts school, and through multiple simulations by the quantum supercomputer, a rough prototype was finally formed.

This rough prototype was so bad that even Luo Wushang, whose head had exploded four times, couldn't use it properly.

First, the body cannot support the sword strike; second, there is a lack of qi and blood.

However, under the current circumstances, Luo Wushang did not have time to think too much. After all, other sword skills were useless against Blood Condensation Realm BOSSes, and could only have a restraining effect. Only extraordinary martial skills that surpassed ordinary ones, such as the Celestial Realm sword skills used by the prison storyline BOSS, were beyond Luo Wushang's means to deal with Blood Condensation Realm BOSSes.

Immediately, in the vast auction square, before Mang Fu and the others could even approach the pale-faced Lin Qi, the players all attacked at once.

"The Zhou Tian Sword Formation begins!"

Stepping on one longsword after another in mid-air, Ye Qinglu, whose speed exceeded the speed of sound, was the first to block Mang Fu and the others who had taken a slight detour on the ground. More than three hundred C-grade alloy longswords made of Rem Titanium condensed behind Ye Qinglu to form a huge sword lotus, as if a sword immortal had descended to earth, looking down on Mang Fu and the others.

This scene astonished all the major powers present.

I never expected that there would be such a brave disciple in the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, who actually planned to intercept thirteen Blood Condensation Realm experts and Hundred Beasts Karad by himself. Just such courage is already admirable.

"You're asking for death!" Mang Fu looked at Ye Qinglu, who dared to block his way, and swung his axe down fiercely.

With this axe strike, Mang Fu showed no mercy, directly unleashing the extraordinary martial skill, Mang Long.

A giant python, over a hundred meters long, appeared and lunged at Ye Qinglu, as if to devour her and Lin Qi, who was standing not far behind her.

"A phantom has appeared!"

Holding a long spear, Ye Qinglu spun around and thrust it towards the giant python's phantom. At the same time, as he spun, a huge phantom over three hundred meters tall also appeared, spinning and crashing into the giant python's phantom along with Ye Qinglu.

Just as the two sides were about to collide, a sword lotus formed by three hundred longswords appeared between them. Ye Qinglu's spinning spear, crackling with lightning, caused the entire giant phantom to be surrounded by lightning as well, and it directly struck the sword lotus.

boom!
At that moment, everyone in Crimson Moon Town felt as if the world had fallen silent. What they could see with their own eyes was a dazzling display of lightning, blooming from lotus blossoms, illuminating the entire town.

At the same time, everyone saw that the giant python phantom seemed to have swallowed the sword lotus, and its entire body shot out endless lightning. It quickly disappeared from everyone's sight. The python axe was also riddled with hundreds of holes. It just stood there quietly, motionless, and couldn't believe it was real even before it died.

"How can this be!"

"What kind of martial art is this?"

Everyone was stunned to see Mang Fu killed in one move. Not only were the major forces shocked, but even the Beasts Karad and others who were planning to attack were dumbfounded.

As the leader of the Twelve Beasts of the Forbidden Forest, Mang Fu may not be as strong as experts like Mo Xiao, but he is not weak in the Blood Condensation Realm.

Especially that axe blow just now, even a high-level Blood Condensation Realm martial artist wouldn't dare say they could escape unscathed, but now they've inexplicably died at the hands of a gray-robed disciple from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy. How can they believe it?

"die!"

"Kill her! Avenge the boss!"

The remaining Blood Condensation Realm experts of the Forbidden Forest Twelve Beasts looked at Ye Qinglu, who was lying on the ground unable to move, with eyes that were about to burst with rage. They rushed forward, intending to tear Ye Qinglu to pieces to avenge Mang Fu.

However, before the remaining eleven Forbidden Forest Twelve Beasts could reach Ye Qinglu, a terrifying life force emanating from behind drew everyone's attention, completely ignoring Ye Qinglu.

Less than 500 meters away from the Beast Karad, a woman nearly nine meters tall stood there. Her hair and silver-gray clothes seemed to stand up as if a strong wind was blowing from below. The surrounding ground continued to crack, and pieces of stone flew up against gravity, disintegrating into dust in the air.

Even high-rise buildings within a radius of hundreds of meters were shaken violently, like a magnitude 7 or 8 earthquake, with the buildings swaying and cracking.

The woman, who was nearly nine meters tall, finally calmed down, and everything quieted down, but everyone felt a tremor from the depths of their souls.

"Can humans really turn into monsters?" Hu Lei stared at the gigantic Luo Wushang, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

Li Ranxing's previous gigantic transformation was already shocking, but that was at most just because Li Ranxing was exceptionally talented and his transformation ability was more outstanding.

But now Luo Wushang has also grown to a gigantic size, and is even taller, giving off a far greater sense of danger than Li Ranxing; she doesn't seem human at all.

The gigantic Luo Wushang held a giant sword that she had picked up from somewhere, but in her hands it was like a toy, turning into a short sword, yet she still plunged it into the ground.

"One sword opens the sky!"

In less than the blink of an eye, Luo Wushang raised her sword-wielding hand towards the Twelve Beasts of the Forbidden Forest and the others.

Suddenly, a wall of storm crashed down on the twelve beasts of the Forbidden Forest and the others. The entire ground beneath Luo Wushang's feet churned up, reaching a height of several hundred meters, as if the earth was about to devour everything. The area within a radius of more than ten kilometers trembled.

However, compared to the churning earth, the storm wall that crashed down on the Forbidden Forest Twelve Beasts and their companions was far faster. Before they could even react, the storm wall slammed into them, sending them flying several kilometers away. The storm wall even cleaved the lake outside Crimson Moon Town in two, blasting everyone, including Beast Karad, to the opposite shore. They were all coughing up blood, their lives hanging by a thread, clearly not long for them to live…
