Chapter 958 Blessed Resurrection

“King… King the Eighth[1]?”

When Li Yi saw the name, he almost spat blood.

There were many intelligent NPCs in the world of King of Pantheon. Many of them were aboriginal, and as players continued to change the world, more new intelligent NPCs would appear.

In order to be closer to the players, the names of the new intelligent NPCs often resembled the players. Like the Weapon Warrior in front of him, its name undoubtedly originated from Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.

It is a pity that Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was locked up. He was not qualified to protest against the official slur against his name by Pantheon. Otherwise, such an insulting name would definitely be a cause of action.

“You can fight together or go alone. As long as you can defeat both of my divine servants, you will be promoted to a god!” God-queen Carulla explained the rules.

“Question!” The Mountain raised his hand.

“As memory serves, in order to become a god, besides receiving the Ascension Quest, we also need the approval of the Ruler of Gods. But we’ve been at the Ruler of Gods’ Palace for a long time and still have not seen the Ruler of Gods?”

“The Ruler of Gods will not grant an audience to the likes of you! Mortal, mind your words!” Carulla rebuffed.

The Mountain shrugged. “Now what?” He asked Li Yi.

“We’ll attack together!”

Although the name of Tyrant Sword King the Eighth was amusing[2], it must have become a divine servant for a reason. Li Yi would not underestimate his opponent. Though he had killed it once, that did not mean he would this time.

The biggest difference between intelligent NPCs and players was that the former’s potential growth in strength was terrifying.

“Why is an intelligent NPC meddling in human affairs?” Li Yi squinted and asked himself.

“I am tanking!”

Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut stepped forward. Her fists were held on both sides of her waist, her whole body was filled with an aura of gold.

There were no healers among the five, nor were there any main tanks. All of them were DPS-based classes. However, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s Martial Artist class had many skills to reduce damage, so it was not a problem for her to temporarily act as the main tank.

“Lil Snow, careful… your clothes.” The Mountain was unusually concerned.

Her strongest armor was the Flaming Dragon Armor but as it was extremely skimpy, she only wore it as a last reward.

Her face darkened and she moved swiftly toward Tyrant Sword King the Eighth.

“Hya!”

The golden aura turned violent; this was a Martial Artist’s Taunt skill. However, she found that Tyrant Sword King the Eighth was not provoked by it and stood still, the Frozen Saber in its hand.

Intelligent NPCs were different from ordinary monsters. Aside from being human-controlled, they were no different from actual players.

“Dark Wing!”

Tyrant Sword King the Eighth beckoned at Li Yi.

“Whether Tyrant Sword King the Fifth or the Eighth, it seems that they all hold a deep grudge against you.” The Mountain shook his head.

“Got a job for you. Keep that thing where it is for four seconds. I’ll take care of the rest!”

Li Yi raised his Orange Quality Bow and aimed at Tyrant Sword King the Eighth.

“Don’t let it move for four seconds? That simple? You can count on me!”

“Brother Eighth—” The Mountain raised his hand and shouted at it, “Do you dare to stay still for five seconds?”

Li Yi facepalmed.

His suspicions were correct, the Huashan Guild was indeed full of idiots.

“Frozen Whirlwind Cut!”

“Woooooooosh!”

Tyrant Sword King the Eighth turned round and round, releasing an atmosphere of chilling frost in the process which forced Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut backward.

“There’s no point in talking, it seems that violence is the answer! Swamp King, to me!”

The Mountain’s Orange Quality Quarterstaff levitated horizontally. His body turned into mud and fell onto the ground.

“Fire Projectiles!”

“Kaboom!”

Qian’er also launched an attack. Among the five, only BB East was still standing by.

With his hands on his back, BB East shook his head. “Winning with superior numbers, simply unfair and unjust…”

Fortunately, Sister Cat was not present, or she would definitely have told BB East off directly.

Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut drifted back a few steps and threw a glittering net with both her hands. “Dragnet!”

Tyrant Sword King the Eighth was busy with its Frozen Whirlwind Cut. In the face of the Dragnet which covered an overwhelming range, it was too late to escape. It was caught inside, and even its Frozen Whirlwind Cut was interrupted.

Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut pulled it right up toward her and gave it a straight punch to the face.

“Bllgh blllgggh blllllgggghh—”

The Mountain, who had transformed into the Swamp King, was also at Tyrant Sword King the Eighth’s feet, trapping it.

“Five seconds!” The Mountain cried.

“Leave it to me!”

Li Yi hollered and summoned a clone.

“Water Clone!”

“Territory— Chrono Stinger Arrow!”

The fastest a Chrono Stinger Arrow could be fired was four seconds, which was why Li Yi asked for four seconds.

“Divine Flames’ Descent!”

“True— Fist of the Raging Overlord!”

Almost at the same time, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut and Qian’er also launched their strongest skills, and they struck Tyrant Sword King the Eighth.

Astronomical numbers of damage appeared all at once, and Tyrant Sword King the Eighth fell dead…

Four powerhouses launching an attack at the same time, it was impossible to remain alive.

“What did I say? There is no need to dirty my hands for such trivialities.” BB East sighed.

“Blessed Resurrection!”

A colorful ray of light descended from the skies and fell on Tyrant Sword King the Eighth. It was revived on the spot with full HP!

“Frozen Whirlwind Cut!”

“Woooooooosh!”

Although its feet were trapped by The Mountain, who turned into the Swamp King, it was still fiercely using its Frozen Whirlwind Cut. Sludge stained Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s clothes.

“Lil Snow, my apologies for shooting on you…” The Mountain expressed his regret.

“Can you zip it?” She was done with his nonsense.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

All her anger was directed at Tyrant Sword King the Eighth. Her fists would double in ATK after each attack, and a dozen or so heavy punches would cause Tyrant Sword King the Eighth to die once more.

“Blessed Resurrection!”

A colorful ray of light descended from the sky, and it was again revived with full HP.

“God knows if we can’t defeat it! It knows how to resurrect endlessly!” The Mountain yelled again.

Carulla sneered on her golden seat. It was plain to see that she was very satisfied with the current situation.

Tyrant Sword King the Eighth was not strong, but its ability to resurrect endlessly was aggravating.

It was said that a cat has nine lives, but this one had an infinite number of them! Even if they killed it, it would just come back again.

They would die of exhaustion at this rate.

“They say the God Wars were a conspiracy by the Pantheon. Now it seems true enough, no one can become a god.” The Mountain heaved a sigh.

“I don’t think so!”

Fire spurted out at Li Yi’s feet and he charged toward Tyrant Sword King the Eighth.

Instead of his Orange Quality Bow, he held a black scroll in his hand.

“Seal!”

Li Yi unfolded the black scroll against it.

Black smoke emerged from the scroll, grabbing Tyrant Sword King the Eighth like a hand and pulling it in.

“Poof!”

When it was completely dragged in, the black smoke disappeared.

The battle was over!

“Clap!”

Li Yi put the black scroll together and a round of applause sounded below his feet.

“Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!”

As the Swamp King, The Mountain gave Li Yi a thunderous applause with his muddy palms, expressing his admiration for Li Yi.

“Stop it!” Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was annoyed again.

She had been the main victim of the mud splatter.

“Impossible! How did my servant disappear?” Carulla stood up from her golden seat and looked at Li Yi with disbelief.

The black scroll had been the Evil God Summoning Scroll. It was an artifact that could trap even the Evil God. Compared with the latter, Tyrant Sword King the Eighth was nothing.

“This is impossible, my divine servant will never lose!”

Carulla was emotional. She took her full moon scepter and descended from her golden seat.

The Mountain, who had transformed back, beckoned Ghostly Walker, “One down, one more to go.”

Ghostly Walker stood there with a grin. He looked like a child; his face was similar to a prepubescent. If he had to be converted into his actual age, he would be no more than 15 years old.

The Demon God Castle, the encounter on the Endless Sea, and the Moonlight boss fight… others might not know him, but Li Yi knew that this seemingly harmless child was a force to be reckoned with.

In his previous life, he had been the first Emperor of the Continent, but within a few days of his reign, he disappeared for no reason, and no one ever knew what became of him.

It seemed that after his disappearance in the past life, he might have visited Mount Pantheon…

“Guess I’m next.”

Ghostly Walker laughed and walked into the field. He had been empty-handed and wielded no weapons.

“Back off!” Carulla waved.

A colorful god ray blasted Ghostly Walker’s and flipped him around.

Carulla walked into the field and pointed at Li Yi with the full moon scepter in her hand.

“Mortal, you killed my servant. I hereby demand your death!”

“Now, I shall be your opponent!”

Except for Li Yi, the remaining four were dumbfounded.

The God-queen Carulla herself personally asking for a fight? This was nuts!

Ghostly Walker rose to his feet and reluctantly shook his head.

“What on earth is going on in this God War? The God-queen herself is challenging us! Don’t tell me that the Ruler of God will show up after she’s defeated.” The Mountain was baffled.

Carulla was seriously enraged. It would seem that the death of Tyrant Sword King the Eighth had rubbed her the wrong way.

Li Yi saw her angry look and could not help but deduce a scandalous thought: could they be having an affair?

“Stand back!”

An imposing voice declared.

BB East spoke.

“She’s mine.”

BB East vanished after a brief statement…

“God-queen, I shall carve a cross on your chest!”

In the air came the conceited noises of BB East. Carulla heard him and her face suddenly darkened. She gently shook her scepter.

“Nnnnnnnnn—”

A colorful halo shone on all sides, and BB East in Stealth Mode was immediately exposed.

BB East was crawling on the ground toward Carulla with a dagger in the mouth.

“Zchunk!”

A bolt of divine lightning hit BB East instantly killing him.

“Blasphemy is punishable by death!”
