Chapter 152: Chapter 129: The Light of the Red Name First Shines!

"This...

"It’s over just like that?!"

Staring at the text prompts popping up one after another in just a few short seconds, Zhou Yunhao stood rooted to the spot, completely dumbfounded. The pillar of light collapsing and dissipating before his eyes told him that this wasn’t a hallucination; it was actually happening.

Including the time it took for Yu Zhun to enter the cave, less than a minute had passed, yet his raid team had obtained 5,800 raid points.

"Someone’s here!" Sheila’s slightly raised voice snapped Zhou Yunhao back to reality.

The next second, over a dozen figures rushed down from a nearby hill. After getting a clear view of the situation, a fierce glint appeared in their eyes. They wondered how the team had acted so fast. It had barely been any time at all, yet they were already out?

The locations of the thirty-six springs were random, and the three springs whose locations were revealed in each round were also random. Some teams had absurdly good luck; a spring might spawn right beneath their feet. In the eyes of this newly arrived team, Yu Zhun’s squad was exactly that kind of team.

Calculating the time, the people before them must have just gone through a battle, and some of their skills might even still be in cooling. Although starting a fight right at the beginning of the match was a bit risky... but after glancing at the opposing team’s high server number and briefly weighing the pros and cons, the enemy captain let out a low shout.

"They’re the ones who took the token!

"Get them!"

The group immediately charged toward Yu Zhun’s squad with murderous intent.

"Fuck!" Zhou Yunhao’s expression instantly darkened.

Their speed was incredibly fast. If everything had gone smoothly, they could have retreated directly before any other teams arrived. The team in front of them had clearly been nearby as well. Even though they had secured the raid points this time, they were now cornered. What was even more terrifying was that if this team stalled them, other squads would arrive one after another...

WHOOSH.

A sharp sound of piercing wind interrupted Zhou Yunhao’s thoughts. An arrow, wrapped in a blinding stream of light, shot out from beside him, pointing straight at a player holding a Priest’s Book in the enemy team.

It was a [Resurrection High Priest].

The player subconsciously wanted to use their exclusive skill, [Resurrection Sanctuary], but before they could cast it, the arrow had already struck their chest. From a distance of nearly three hundred meters, a single arrow—fired in anger by Sheila with a 500% damage boost—instantly emptied the target’s health bar.

As the target wailed and dissipated into specks of light, Sheila, who had just obtained her first Red Name Value, drew her bow and nocked another arrow, aiming it at the enemy’s second Priest.

Dead silence. The battlefield fell into absolute dead silence.

The enemy raid captain, who had believed the advantage was his just a second ago, now shrank his pupils as intense terror surfaced in his eyes.

"This distance?!" he thought. "Even a [Sniper Hunter] couldn’t possibly hit an opponent from this far away! With an archer like that present, we’ll be killed before we even get close..."

Thoughts of retreating couldn’t help but surface in the raid captain’s mind.

"Retreat!" he roared. However, in the very next instant, a cold laugh echoed through the empty valley.

"Since you’re already here, don’t even think about leaving."

A mark appeared above the raid captain’s head. It was a vertical pupil pierced by a blade.

[Nether Treading Demon Boots] Equipment effect, [Pursuit]!

Locks onto the target, revealing their location and rendering them unable to leave the combat state!

Before the raid captain had any time to react, Yu Zhun’s murderous figure instantly appeared right in front of him!

[Falcon’s Frenzied Song Dagger] Equipment effect, [Eagle Strike]!

Marks a hostile target and actively teleports right in front of them!

Chaining these two effects together, Yu Zhun crossed a distance of hundreds of meters, executing an ultra-long-range teleport to instantly charge into enemy territory!

"What?!" the raid captain thought, his pupils contracting violently as he subconsciously swung his weapon outward.

STOMP.

Yu Zhun stomped his foot down fiercely, and a gray Domain instantly unfurled.

[Nether Treading Demon Boots] Equipment effect, [Iron Hoof]!

Grants a 100% increase to speed, Physical Defense, and Physical Attack, lasting for 10s!

[Nether Treading Demon Boots] Equipment effect, [Trample]!

Reduces the speed of hostile units within a 10m radius by 50%, lasting for 5s!

[Doomsday’s Thorn] Exclusive skill, [Assassin Domain]!

Domain radius of 10m. Increases Agility by 70%, and decreases the Agility of hostile targets within the Domain by 35%, lasting for 15s!

In just a brief moment, this dual ebb and flow of speed and Agility put the surrounding raid team members, who had wanted to lend a helping hand, on a 0.5x playback speed. It also trapped the targeted raid captain deep in a quagmire—not even the gods could save him now!

DONG.

A bell ringing out from the void echoed at this moment.

[[Doomsday’s Thorn] Yu Zhun has rung the Funeral Bell for you!]

A second mark appeared above the raid captain’s head. It was a blood-red dagger.

[Doomsday’s Thorn] Exclusive skill, [Death Bell]!

Executing a beautiful spin in mid-air, Yu Zhun smoothly unsheathed the second dagger at his waist—a dark purple hunting blade that seemed to have been thrust out from the Nether Abyss.

[Unrivaled Sword Dance], activated!

Weapon equipped and switched: [Nether Mourning Demon Blade]!

His Physical Attack, which had previously dropped to a mere 200,000 due to equipping another weapon, skyrocketed at this moment, returning to its peak of 370,000!

No, he could reach an even higher peak!

[Nether Roar Demon Helmet] Equipment effect, [Roar]!

Increases All Attributes by 100%, lasting for 10 seconds!

Now, his Physical Attack was 510,000!

Gripping both daggers tightly, Yu Zhun leapt into the air.

SLASH SLASH.

Two strikes delivered at the speed of light emptied the raid captain’s health bar.

As far as the raid captain in front of him was concerned, their combat state had begun the moment Yu Zhun marked him. At that time, Yu Zhun was still hundreds of meters away, which meant the conditions for [Open and Aboveboard] had not been met.

This was within Yu Zhun’s expectations. After all, he had merely used the opponent as a springboard to achieve an ultra-long-range teleport and quickly close the distance.

Needing one extra strike wasn’t a big deal.
