Chapter 148: Chapter 147: Necromancer vs. Sword Emperor!
[🎉 Shoutout to Kerson & JustAGuy for joining patreon. Thank you very much.🤗]
"This guy... summoned a 6-star BOSS?"
Not only the Glory Guild but even many onlookers who came to watch were stunned by the BOSS God of Death summoned by Zhang Yue.
Under Zhang Yue's command, Death God Kira launched an attack on the Glory Guild members.
WHOOSH!
Raising the Death Staff, endless dark energy surged from the ground, launching an indiscriminate attack on nearby enemies.
Within the sweeping dark storm, all Glory Guild professionals within the attack range suffered continuous damage of about 1,000 points each.
The priests on the outskirts attempted to heal their teammates but were wiped out by Zhang Yue's summoned Apocalypse Black Dragon.
Amidst a chorus of anguished screams, one white light after another flashed within the crowd.
On the other hand, the Glory Guild, being one of the top three families in Tianjing, managed to deal over a thousand points of average damage to the God of Death due to their considerable strength.
But this damage was insignificant compared to the 440,000+ total health of the 6-star BOSS.
The God of Death followed up with the skill [Undead Summoning], calling forth numerous level 40 undead from the ground. Working alongside the undead army, it delivered a crushing blow to the Glory Guild.
Zhang Yue didn't even need to take action personally; in mere moments, the God of Death had decimated the entire Glory Guild.
As expected, a 6-star BOSS at this stage was beyond even the Glory Guild's capability to handle.
Unfortunately, the God of Death's existence was limited in time.
After obliterating Glory, it disappeared as its 60-second timer ended.
Just then, a powerful sword aura surged from the front.
Looking up, Zhang Yue saw the Sword Emperor Luo Chen gripping a silver longsword, surrounded by rotating sword shadows, striding toward him.
With each step, the overwhelming presence of the legendary-class Sword Emperor radiated outward.
Luo Chen's aura was in no way inferior to Zhang Yue's.
Even bystanders dozens of meters away felt an intense sense of oppression.
Before Zhang Yue could make a move—
Lin Tian, Wu Haotian, Ouyang Ling'er, and Ling Xiaoyao launched attacks targeting Luo Chen.
WHOOSH!
Commanding dozens of sword shadows, Luo Chen unleashed a wide-range pursuit, not only blocking Lin Tian and the others' attacks but also easily forcing them back.
Even Su Jinyan's control abilities struggled to bypass the sword shadows' defense, and even if she barely broke through, landing a hit on Luo Chen was still nearly impossible.
While continuously attacking with the sword shadows, Luo Chen struck his sword into the ground, sending out a powerful sword light that instantly knocked Lin Tian and his team to the ground!
In an instant, everyone except Zhang Yue lost more than half of their health.
"Damn! This guy. How is he this strong?" Wu Haotian, using his spear for support, knelt on one knee and stared at Luo Chen in shock.
Su Jinyan frowned: "Not only is he powerful, but his awareness is also terrifyingly sharp. He can precisely predict and evade every one of my attacks."
Lin Tian said gravely:"Looks like we've finally met our match this time."

[Battlefield]
Watching Luo Chen effortlessly defeat the former leaders of the War God Guild, Infinity Guild, and Misty Rain Pavilion, Ling Ke'er couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.
She mockingly turned to Tian Xin'er and her group: "What's wrong? Weren't you all supposed to be so powerful? Can't handle it now?"
"You're all just too weak."
"Luo Chen, finish them off for me."
Luo Chen ignored Ling Ke'er's command.
To him, killing Lin Tian's group was as easy as turning his hand.
His true target was Zhang Yue.
Gripping his longsword, Luo Chen steadily approached Zhang Yue.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yue stood still, habitually resting his staff on his shoulder, maintaining a calm and composed stance.
Upon entering attack range, Luo Chen launched the first strike.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Under Luo Chen's command, the sword shadows locked onto Zhang Yue and launched a relentless pursuit.
Just as they were about to pierce through Zhang Yue—
WHOOSH!
Zhang Yue suddenly teleported, vanishing from his original spot and evading the sword shadows' assault.
In a flash, he reappeared directly inside the sword circle, standing face-to-face with Luo Chen.
He knew very well:
This was the [Sword Emperor]'s greatest weakness.
The sword shadows could only attack enemies outside the sword circle, not those within it.
The area within a 10-meter radius around the Sword Emperor was the inner circle.
However, even with an intruder inside his sword circle, Luo Chen showed no panic.
He raised his longsword and charged at Zhang Yue.
SLASH!
Just as the blade was about to pierce him—
Zhang Yue tilted his body slightly, easily dodging Luo Chen's attack. He swung his staff backhanded, landing a crisp hit on Luo Chen's helmet with a sharp "Bang!"
"Too slow."
Luo Chen, with reflexes beyond ordinary humans, swiftly countered with a sweeping slash—
But Zhang Yue leaned back at a 90-degree angle, dodging again. He straightened up and smacked Luo Chen's helmet with his staff once more:
"Too rushed."
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
Luo Chen launched a series of unpredictable rapid slashes.
But attacks that would've been impossible for ordinary people to dodge were effortlessly evaded by Zhang Yue with minimal movement.
And each time Zhang Yue dodged, he seized the opportunity to knock Luo Chen on the head with his staff.
He even analyzed Luo Chen's mistakes based on his moves:
"Reaction too slow."
"Not enough force."
"Wrong angle."
Spectators
This scene left everyone around them utterly stunned.
"What… what is our Guild Leader doing?"
"Is he... training his opponent? It looks like a master teaching a disciple."
"We're so used to seeing Zhang Yue instantly kill enemies from a distance with high damage. Who knew his micro-movements were this insan."
"Damn! This is like watching the rumored [God of Micro-Control] Moonmark in action."
Even Ling Ke'er, Glory's Firmament, and Glory's River were left speechless.
They never expected that their proud Sword Emperor Luo Chen would be utterly helpless against Zhang Yue, unable to even land a single hit.
As Luo Chen's every attack was effortlessly dodged, panic finally crept into his mind beneath his fully enclosed metal helmet.
In 18 years of harsh training at the Hidden Dragon Mountain, only his master had ever displayed such unparalleled combat skills.
'And why does this Zhang Yue's moves and words feel so familiar?'
With a cold "BOOM!" Zhang Yue finally unleashed his first skill after a full minute of combat.
The S-rank [Inferno Blaze] blasted Luo Chen's chest, dealing a devastating 14,985 points of damage, sending him flying.
In life-saving protection mode, Luo Chen was left with just 1 HP, barely surviving.
"Never get distracted during a fight. Didn't your master teach you that?" Zhang Yue calmly remarked, looking at the fallen Luo Chen.
"Your combat techniques are full of flaws. You haven't been a Sword Emperor for long, have you?"
Hearing this, Luo Chen's pupils widened in shock.
Staring at Zhang Yue in disbelief, he asked: "Who… who exactly are you?"
