Is this NPC even playable if it's not nerfed?

Chapter 190 Blood Corpse Head Slaughter, Residual Bloodline

"Boss, take a look at that young master Leng. Is he plotting something bad?"

The resurrected members of the Ultra Gang acted as security guards at the scene, responsible for keeping an eye on players with malicious intentions.

Suddenly, Super Beast, who had no sense of pain, noticed that Young Master Leng was acting suspiciously and began to wonder if he might break the agreement.

"Possibly. Tell the brothers to keep an eye on Leng Shao's spendthrift henchmen, and also send a message to the other teams to keep an eye on this scoundrel."

Sai Rabbit thought that Super Beast's lack of pain perception was right, so he instructed his subordinates to be careful. He himself also silently came to a short distance behind Leng Shao. As long as Leng Shao made any move to break the agreement, he would give Leng Shao a hard blow first.

"Ok."

Sai Tu Zi has a good relationship with Yu Jie's team, after all, he is one of the top blacksmiths in the entire server, and most player guilds have connections with him.

As soon as Sai Tu Zi made the announcement, the other players and their gangs started giving Leng Shao strange looks.

Especially after they discovered the underhanded tactics of Leng Shao's gang, their eyes became even more hostile.

That shit-eater, he's a real piece of shit, trying to pull some dirty tricks, he deserves to die.

……

"You will all die."

When the Blood Corpse's health dropped to its lowest point, it suddenly let out a loud shout. Several nearby players were suddenly grabbed by bloody hands, and the Blood Corpse's body rapidly expanded, like a balloon, swallowing the surrounding players.

Its whole body was glowing red.

"not good."

"This blood corpse is about to self-destruct."

"withdraw."

Big Butt Isn't a Crime immediately retreated, and the other players fled the blast radius of the Blood Corpse. Even the onlookers ran away at this moment.

They had only just been resurrected, and they certainly didn't want to die again.

"Die."

"boom……"

With a deafening roar, the Blood Corpse detonated itself, the terrifying energy instantly flattening the rocks on both sides of the riverbank. The powerful explosion also sent many players back to the fountain. As the leader of the Bear Team, Big Butt Is Not a Crime was almost killed by the explosion.

However, his underlings were not so lucky; apart from him, all the other men were killed in the explosion.

"Huhuhu..."

A bloody wind howled, and the blood energy slowly coalesced, causing the blood corpse to reappear. However, the blood corpse was now in a dying state, and if the player continued to attack, it could be killed.

"good chance."

Big Butt Isn't a Sin: After frantically taking drugs and recovering most of his health, just as he was about to finish off the Blood Corpse and complete the first kill, Cold Young Master made his move.

"Good opportunity, let's seize it."

Leng Shao fired an arrow, which pierced through Da Ding Ding Bu Shi Zui's chest, causing him to lose a significant amount of health. Before Da Ding Ding Bu Shi Zui could react, his hidden henchmen unleashed their skills on him, and in an instant, Da Ding Ding Bu Shi Zui was sent back to the fountain.

After realizing that killing Big Buttocks wasn't a crime, Leng Shao rushed towards the Blood Corpse, intending to be the first to kill this boss.

At this critical moment, Sai Tu Zi and the others made their move. Attacks flew in from all directions, instantly sending Leng Shao back to the fountain. Leng Shao's underlings also could not escape the fate of being sent back to the fountain, and were sent away by the other players.

【Young Master Leng, I'll fuck your mother.】

I'll kill you every time I see you. You're fucking dead. I'll fight you to the death.

[You rotten-ass gay bastard, you think I'm afraid of you? The kind of gay bastard I, Leng Shao, fear the least of all is someone like you.]

[Rabbit, you're really something, daring to attack me. And the others too, very well, you're all dead. Even if I, Young Master Leng, quit the game, I'll still kill you all. You better not leave Wangyou County, for every time you do, I'll kill you.]

[Hahaha, you spendthrift young master Leng, what the hell are you barking about? You really think you're something special? Rich? You think you're the only one with money? How many of you are there? You think you can beat us? I'll say the same to you: every single member of your team, young master Leng, will be wiped out the moment you leave the city.]

[Gentlemen, this is Sai Tu Zi. Starting today, I'm officially offering a bounty on Leng Shao. Give me his kill tokens, and I'll give you equipment. One token for one Xuan-grade piece of equipment, one hundred tokens for one Di-grade piece. You know my strength. I wouldn't dare say I'm rich, but when it comes to equipment, I'm a professional. How much do you have? I'll take as much as you want, no limit.]

Sai Tu Zi has the right to say this because he is currently the only player in the entire server who can craft Earth-grade equipment. Although the success rate is very low, it is still Earth-grade equipment.

[Rabbit, how dare you put a bounty on me! I'm going to open your box and make you regret it!]

The young master, who was being resurrected, was so angry by the shout in the world channel that he trembled all over. He never thought that this rabbit would dare to put a bounty on him.

Sai Tu Zi is a nouveau riche; once he leaves this game, he's nothing.

He was always the one threatening others; no one ever dared to threaten him.

[Hahaha, Sai Rabbit, remember your words. From today onwards, I'll be keeping an eye on that damned Young Master Leng. Once I've saved enough, you get me a piece of Earth-grade equipment.]

[Big Butt Bro, go ahead and kill as many as you want. I just want to prove myself.]

【Aaaaaaah!】

Leng Shao was furious and shouted, but there was nothing he could do.

This is a huge loss.

……

"Stop arguing, hurry up and do it, the blood corpse can regenerate health."

"Damn, who's supposed to be next according to the agreement?"

"According to the agreement, it should have been Leng Shao's turn, but that bastard broke the agreement, so it won't count as his turn this time."

"Then what are we waiting for? Forget about it, let's kill the blood corpse first. Let's all attack together and split the loot equally."

"it is good."

Players from several gangs unleashed their skills at the blood corpse, which, already on the verge of death, was powerless to resist and succumbed to the players' attacks.

[Beep beep beep, the monster-like blood corpse has been killed.]

[Congratulations to player (赛兔子不是兔子) for completing the kill.]

[Dididi...]

The rabbit leveled up twice, while the other players who participated in the battle also received experience points for assists.

Most importantly, the blood corpse has been delivered.

A crystal-clear stone, a martial arts manual.

This crystal-clear stone is the essence listed on the official website, one of the most important raw materials for Heavenly-grade equipment, and also the most difficult to obtain.

Each spirit can only drop one spirit essence.

This means that the essence and monster core of the blood corpse are gone.

If they want these two items, they'll have to go and defeat other spirits.

It seems that items like Black Dog Blood will be cheaper in the near future.

Besides the essence, the blood corpse also dropped a martial arts manual, and its grade was quite high, actually Earth-level.

Blood Explosion Technique (Earth Level): One of the core skills of the Blood Corpse, it can cause a lot of damage by detonating the surrounding blood. The more blood that is detonated, the larger the explosion range. The higher the quality of the blood, the higher the damage. Health +150 (base value).

……

"Gentlemen, according to the agreement, the killer will receive fifty percent of the reward. The blood corpse dropped two items: a spirit essence and a local-level martial art."

"I've already posted information about this martial arts manual on the public chat. It's a very strong and powerful martial arts manual. However, I'm a blacksmith, so you know what I mean. I'll choose the essence, and the martial arts manual is yours. You can split the proceeds from the auction equally."

Sai Tuzi readily handed the Earth-level martial arts manual she had obtained to the leader of Sister Yu's group. Although the leader of Sister Yu's group was burly and rough, he was a very cheerful person with a high reputation, so he would not have kept the martial arts manual for himself.

Even if they pocketed it, that's their own business; they've already got his essence.

The leader of Sister Yu's group is also an honest person. Without saying a word of nonsense, he directly put the Blood Explosion Technique on the auction house. How much it will fetch depends on the rich players.

……

The Forget-Worry County Tower.

"Fairy, it seems you have lost."

Ji Mengluo suddenly laughed.

"I am willing to admit defeat."

Peach Blossom Fairy had no intention of reneging on her debt. She wasn't so bad as to be a sore loser. It was just a mere inch of thousand-year-old peach wood heart; she could afford to pay for it. After saying that, Peach Blossom Fairy handed the inch of peach wood heart to Ji Mengluo.

"Could we borrow the Divine Fire Furnace?"

"I have no objection, but I cannot be the master of the Divine Fire Furnace. If you wish to use it, Your Highness, you will have to discuss it with the Divine Fire Furnace yourself." Peach Blossom Fairy didn't mind borrowing the Divine Fire Furnace, because it didn't belong to her; it belonged to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan isn't home. If you want to use it, you'll have to go to the Divine Fire Furnace and ask it in person if it's willing.

"Thank you then."

"It will not refuse me; I have reasons why it cannot refuse."

"Oh? Princess, you're so confident?"

"of course."

……

Qingcheng Mountain.

The Qingcheng Mountain of the past is now history.

Only half of the mountain remains.

At the foot of the mountain, in front of a thatched hut.

An old man was wielding a hoe, struggling to clear the wasteland before him.

The old man was strong and healthy; the angle and force with which he swung the hoe were different from those of ordinary people.

There was a flow of true qi on his body surface; it didn't look like he was hoeing the ground, but more like he was practicing martial arts.

"Grandpa, grandpa."

"Hey, Gouwa's out of school."

When the old man saw his grandson running towards him, he quickly dropped the hoe he was holding and picked the grandson up in his arms.

Gouwa is his adopted grandson.

A child with a very pitiful background.

Six years ago, Lu Yuan launched a surprise attack on Qingcheng Mountain, smashing half of the mountain with a single punch, along with the thousand-year-old Qingcheng Sect.

Since then, the Qingcheng Sect has existed in name only.

The surviving disciples either left or scattered.

No one has said anything about rebuilding the mountain gate.

The old man was once a disciple of Qingcheng Mountain, an ordinary disciple who guarded the Sutra Repository.

When Lu Yuan went up the mountain, he gave the disciples of Qingcheng Mountain the opportunity to choose freely, but the old man chose to go down the mountain without hesitation.

At that time, Lu Yuan was not very famous and had not yet been given the title of Demon Lord.

He was a minor figure in the martial arts world.

His decision to descend the mountain was not because he feared Lu Yuan, but because he had a conscience.

He had been a disciple of Qingcheng Mountain for decades, but his martial arts talent was only average. Despite decades of cultivation, he had not broken through to the seventh rank and was just an ordinary disciple guarding the library in the sect.

With no power, no influence, no cultivation, and no faction, he was just an insignificant nobody in Qingcheng Mountain.

Even though he was of lowly status and weak in power, he had a conscience; he could distinguish between good and evil, and knew what was right and wrong.

He had seen what the sect's higher-ups were doing.

The destruction of Qingcheng Mountain can only be described as its own fault.

This is not Lu Yuan's fault. The blame lies with the sect leader, the elders, and those high-ranking members of the sect who indulge their disciples' unbridled and lawless behavior.

It was their indulgence that led to the sect's downfall.

If it weren't for the sect leader's indulgence, how could a seventh-rank martial artist like Wushuang Jianyushi dare to kill government officials?

If he doesn't kill the officials, will Lu Yuan come to his door?
If you've done something wrong, you have to admit it.

Has Qingchengzi admitted it?

He denied it. Not only did he deny it, but he also insulted Lu Yuan, which led to the fate of Qingshan City.

After the destruction of Qingcheng Mountain, the old man disappeared without a trace. He built a house for himself at the foot of the mountain, working from sunrise to sunset.

A year after Lu Yuan destroyed Qingcheng Mountain, by chance, the old man rescued a pregnant woman from a group of bandits.

The woman died during childbirth, leaving behind only one child.

Seeing the child's pitiful state, the old man adopted him as his grandson and named him Li Gouwa.

……

"Grandpa, I can recite the Three Character Classic now. The teacher said I'm a genius, a literary star descended from heaven."

Li Gouwa hugged the old man's neck and happily told him the good news, adding that it would be even better if he didn't have a runny nose.

"Amazing! My dog ​​is amazing, he's a future top scholar."

"Haha, Grandpa, when I grow up and become the top scholar in the imperial examination, I will build you a super, super, super big house."

"A big house built with bricks."

"Buy lots and lots of meat, lots and lots of grain, lots and lots of clothes for Grandpa, and find lots and lots of people to take care of him."

Li Gouwa is looking forward to a wonderful future.

Little did they know that a hint of regret flashed in the old man's eyes.

Will he be able to see Li Gouwa grow up?

I'm afraid that won't work.

"call out……"

A gust of wind howled in.

The grandfather and grandson were nearly blown over, and when they came to their senses, a ruler had appeared in front of them.

The ruler gleamed with a mysterious light.

"A ruler? A glowing ruler?"

Li Gouwa was the first to react, curiously examining the ruler in front of him. For some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity with the ruler.

"Dog Boy, step back."

The old man pulled his grandson behind him and looked sternly at the ruler in front of him.

What a strange thing.

Could it be a spirit or monster that has revived near Mount Qingcheng?
If that's the case, the grandfather and grandson are probably...

The old man looked terrified.

"The Master's descendants who were left behind are of decent character, excellent conduct, and passable talent."

"I'll choose you."

An elderly voice rang in the ears of the grandfather and grandson.

Then, a beam of white light flew out from the ruler and entered Li Gouwa's body. Li Gouwa immediately felt sleepy and fell asleep.

"Dog boy."

The old man, holding his grandson, looked at the ruler in a panic.

"I entrust the Master's bloodline to you."

"This is your reward."

A beam of white light shot out, and after the old man was illuminated, his face instantly rejuvenated, and some black appeared in his silver-white hair, making him look twenty years younger.

"This……"

“Take good care of the Master’s bloodline.”

With a flash of white light, the ruler vanished without a trace, leaving only dozens of bamboo scrolls behind.

The original text of the Analects.
