The intense battle continues!

Nearly twenty Spiritualists simultaneously besiege the Divine Monarch. They engage him using their own powers, skills, knowledge, and various powerful equipment abilities, trying to wear down his health as stably as possible, attempting to eliminate this terrifying monster in the Celestial Gate trial.

It’s reassuring to know that their fighting is meaningful. Ye Mingqiu, though incredibly powerful, resists fiercely, even managing to kill three of the besieging Level 10 Hero Spiritualists at one point.

But!

His health is still being worn down!

Countless Mages and Shooters, through incredibly meticulous opportunities, interrupt the casting as much as possible, preventing him from using [Holy Healing Skill] to restore his Life. They’ve done their utmost.

0%

45%

Ye Mingqiu’s health dropped significantly, while the number of Spiritualists attacking him grew from the initial nearly 20 people to over 40.

However, although the numbers increased, their attack frequency didn’t increase much.

Because these Spiritualists know that once the Divine Monarch falls, the next phase is their internal warfare. Before the battle starts, they conserve their state as much as possible, allowing more powerful skills to recover from cooldown, which is the fundamental reason they decrease their attack frequency.

"Boom!!"

Ye Mingqiu violently swings his spear again, sweeping away the surrounding Spiritualists. He looks at these people, his killing intent and hostility glaringly clear, counting them out one by one.

To others, he appears in a desperate situation, but he gradually reveals a wanton smile. The terrifying Blood Qi and Killing Intent surge like a tangible storm, with a horrifying momentum sweeping in every direction.

He casually plucks the arrows stuck in his arm, the arrowhead emitting a ghostly purple glow, a testament to the poison. But this poison has no effect on Ye Mingqiu. He licks his lips, his chest heaving rapidly as he says, "Enough, the number is finally sufficient! Caught in the net! Haha, hahahaha!"

The sudden sound of madness sends shivers down the hearts of the surrounding Spiritualists. They don’t know if the Divine Monarch is bluffing or has truly allied with outsiders.

They are vigilant but dare not stop attacking. Once the assault stops, it won’t take long for the Divine Monarch’s health bar to fill up again.

Facing this man with extremely thick health, rapid Life recovery speed, self-healing ability, high attack and defense speed, and also mastering Demon Magic that can devour spells, they must attack continuously.

Otherwise, all the previous efforts would be in vain!

And as they hesitate, a giant web of azure light descends from the sky, columns rising from the ground to form a massive cage. All Spiritualists inside the cage bear the azure mark, lasting for ten minutes.

And just when these Level 10 Spiritualists feel horrified, something even more despair-inducing occurs.

[Tyrant Form]

Ye Mingqiu, who was previously beaten down, rapidly grows in size within a short time. The War Tyrant revealing his true form on the battlefield again, he laughs, a laugh resonating violently.

More terrifying is that his laughter harbors a Spirit-intimidating skill.

[War Roar]

Many Spiritualists with lower Spirit attributes are directly hard-controlled in place, forced to use Decoupling Skills/Items for recovery. More important, their All Attributes decrease by 3% to 5%, significantly reducing their combined strength.

Following this, the skill [Royal Majesty] from the Crown of the Beast King also erupts.

[Tip: Attribute judgment failed, your All Attributes decrease by 15%]

In the Tyrant Form, Ye Mingqiu’s Power Attribute reaches 255, and Physical Attribute reaches a high 315 points, comparable to the normal attributes of a Level 10 Dominator. His Agility and Mental Attributes are also not low, with super high Four-dimensional Attributes, none can withstand the attribute crush judgment of [Royal Majesty].

Values!

He has a kind of beauty of values!

"Run fast!!"

Suddenly, a Magic System Spiritualist screams in collapse while frantically running, even releasing Bursting Fireballs behind himself, trying to run faster using the explosive winds.

Other Spiritualists also riot, using various means to escape.

But.... can they succeed?

[Killing Intent Fluctuation]

Ye Mingqiu switches to the [God of Slaughter] title, instantly exploding with terrifying killing intent. The blood-red energy fluctuation quickly envelops all the Spiritualists, the power of Slaughter Will instantly consumes all Spiritualists.

Some Spiritualists originally are not adept at Mental Attributes, and due to Ye Mingqiu’s [War Roar] and [Royal Majesty] directly shedding 10% to 20% of their Mental Attributes, they instantly suffer horrific damage when facing [Killing Intent Fluctuation] released under mental crush.

More horrifying is that Killing Intent Fluctuation is a passive, cumulative Skill Understanding!

Slaughter Will: Every kill accumulates Slaughter Will. The stronger the Slaughter Will, the stronger the Spirit Shock effect.

And the number of units Ye Mingqiu has killed...

Happens to be too numerous to count!

Level 10 Hero Spiritualists fall in batches, like a wheat field harvested by the Death God, falling in the burning Endless Forest.

And as the initiator of everything, Ye Mingqiu raises the sinister crimson Blood Spear, revealing a savage, terrifying smile full of killing intent.

"Boom!!!"

...

Above the sky

"What... what are you doing?! Didn’t you say you’d surround him? Why are you doing this?"

Beixi yells as if breaking through defenses, but the movements in her hands don’t slow at all, preparing for a backstab, the screaming just a way to attract the other’s attention.

How can a Spiritualist like her break under such circumstances? The calculations between Spiritualists are normal; being used for certain purposes is within her expectations.

After all, this is the Celestial Gate trial, where Spiritualists battle; one wouldn’t save someone randomly. This isn’t the realistic or Spirit Realm world, death isn’t genuine death.

"Because I need you, and think doing this would look cool and be fun... I’m someone who occasionally goes crazy, just happened to meet you, and did this." Lu’s smile remains radiant, completely unfazed.

"Did you save me just because of madness? Is that really all? Really?"

Beixi yells again, tears sparkling in her eyes, her small hand in the dark reaching forward, embracing the other’s body, the dagger slowly turning towards their body.

Through the process, she acts like a girl heartbroken, not revealing even a shred of killing intent, facing Lu directly, as if trying to obtain an answer.

"Screech!"

Sharp spikes pierce Beixi’s chest, despair colors her fair face, not because she is dead, but because her dagger won’t penetrate.

This Dog Hole Creek indeed kept its guard up!

Damn it!

"You acted quite well; as an Assassin, your performance was rather qualified." Lu replied.

"It wasn’t acting. I was genuinely moved when you saved me earlier. That was my first time feeling that way. I always wanted to try this, but never encountered such a scene." Beixi gave a self-mocking smile and said, "I didn’t expect to meet such a man and be deceived like this. Indeed, there’s no good man."

"Is it?"

Lu lowered his eyes slightly, his expression changing a bit, he sighed and said, "Women are no good either. You withdrew your dagger and said touching words while suddenly changing position to stab. If I had truly believed you, I would be dead."

"Unfeeling man."

Beixi’s eyes gradually lose luster. She bows her head, no longer breathing, seemingly dead.

Lu releases his hold, letting her fall naturally while gathering fiery blaze during the descent.

"Blast Flame Skill."

A grand firework explodes in mid-air, completely ending Beixi—who intended to play dead and escape—with her severed arm flying through the air, a faint middle finger visibly raised high.

"Hum~"

Lu chuckles softly, murmuring to himself, "How can a true and rational Mage be swayed by your words; deceiving the indigenous natives of the Spirit Realm might work, but deceiving me... how could that succeed."

"I was deceived in middle school already!"
