When Shifeng and the others heard the system notifications, their expressions turned grim.
How is this possible?! This NPC is actually a madman! Magic Flash despaired as he read the system notifications.
Despair!
That's right! Despair!
In God's Domain, even an Epic Event wouldn't trigger a system warning. Once a system warning appeared, it could only mean one thing.
Then, he would be dead for sure!
After all, this death wasn't just a normal death and a loss of a level. Instead, their souls would be destroyed, and they would disappear from God's Domain forever. They would have to start all over again …
Even Infernal Legion's Hellscream wore a gloomy expression, much less Magic Flash and the others.
Losing a level from a normal death was already troublesome enough. If they died now, they would have to start all over again. If all of Infernal Legion's members died, the higher-ups would most likely kill him.
"Guild Leader, let's split up and run. He's the only Tier 5 NPC, and there are so many of us. He won't be able to catch up to us. As for whether we can escape, it'll depend on our luck," Blue Frost suggested as he looked at Xiang Shifeng.
There was only one option left.
Run!
Whether they chose to defeat the Crimson-eyed Sword Saint or accept the punishment, the outcome would be the same. Hence, they had no choice but to choose the third option.
Although they would have to sacrifice themselves, it was better than complete annihilation.
Everyone present agreed with Blue Frost's suggestion. Escaping was better than dying for no reason. They wouldn't blame anyone for this. Instead, it would depend on their own abilities and luck.
Is this really our only choice? Shifeng couldn't help his incredulity as he watched Elvoze's killing intent grow stronger.
It was only a Level 120 secret land, yet it had actually set up such a massive trap.
Human NPCs weren't Demon Gods. They shouldn't have deliberately set a trap for players to annihilate them. Moreover, even if they had set a trap, they should've had a chance of survival.
"Did I miss something?"
As time passed, Shifeng fell into deep thought.
"President Hei Yan, are we still not going to move out?"
"We only have ten seconds left to consider!"
When there were less than ten seconds left on the countdown, Elder Jin, Qing Hong, and the others began to ask anxiously.
If they acted rashly, the consequences would be disastrous. The best way was to move together. However, the Shifeng did not react for a long time. They were like stone statues. It was driving them crazy.
At a time like this, he actually dared to take the Main God System seriously …
With only five seconds left on the clock, Dark Rhapsody and Deity Society's members were on the verge of losing their patience. Just as they were about to split up and flee, Shifeng took a step forward and walked towards Elvoze.
This caused everyone to be at a loss.
What was he trying to do?
The Shifeng walked up to Elwoz and said slowly, "Honorable Sword Saint, we did not mean to offend you. We were not ordered by anyone to come here. Everything was a coincidence. If you do not believe me, I am willing to challenge you in the name of the Sky Goddess!"
As soon as the Shifeng finished speaking, the crowd fell silent.
"President Hei Yan, have you lost your mind?!" Qing Hong stared at the Shifeng in astonishment. "He's a Tier 5 Titled Sword Saint!"
"Guild Leader?" Blue Frost also stared at Shifeng in confusion.
Tier 5 NPCs were no laughing matter. In the era before Gods, Tier 5 NPCs were existences that stood at the apex of God's Domain. Not to mention challenging a Tier 5 NPC, just escaping alive from one would be a miracle. If one tried to challenge a Tier 5 NPC head-on, they would be blasted to smithereens.
"You're challenging me?" The Crimson-eyed Sword Saint smiled at Shifeng. "I'm afraid you don't qualify, young man."
"Of course, I am an open-minded person. Since you wish to prove that you weren't ordered to come here, I can give you a chance!"
Hearing Elwoz's new conditions, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. They then stared at Xiang Shifeng in astonishment.
"He can even do that?" Qing Hong stared at Shifeng in shock.
She should've been in a life-or-death situation, yet Shifeng's words had created a chance for her. His courage and methods were simply astonishing. "Indeed.
The previous system notification should've been a hint. Although defeating a Tier 5 Sword Saint might seem impossible, defeating a Tier 5 Sword Saint doesn't necessarily mean killing one. There are many ways to defeat a Tier 5 Sword Saint. Hence, challenging a Tier 5 Sword Saint directly is the best choice. " Realization dawned on Elder Gold when he read the system notification. He then turned to Shifeng and said, "However, Hei Yan is simply too amazing. He actually chose the only way to survive in such an environment. Just how confident is he? Or does he really think he can defeat a Tier 5 Sword Saint? "
The killing intent a Tier 5 Legendary Sword Saint radiated was no laughing matter. Even peak experts like themselves felt their minds go numb, and all they could think of was escape. Even Domain Realm experts wouldn't be much stronger than this Tier 5 Legendary Sword Saint. After all, fear was an instinctive reaction to living creatures.
However, after everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Elvoze spoke once more.
"Poison City has been ruled by a cursed City Lord. Since you are here to explore the city, a battle with him is inevitable. Hence, the task I have for you is simple: kill that City Lord and free him from his curse. Until then, you cannot go anywhere else. Otherwise, I will personally deal with you."
System: Congratulations! You have accepted the Inferior Legendary Quest, The End. Quest content: Kill Poison City's City Lord. If all players die in the secret land, their souls will be destroyed. Rewards unknown.
As soon as Elvoze finished speaking, everyone's expressions darkened once more.
An Inferior Legendary Quest!
Moreover, they were tasked with raiding a Level 120 secret land. However, raiding a Level 120 secret land wasn't easy. Even with a team of their caliber, they'd need at least half a day to complete the quest. In fact, raiding a Level 120 secret land wasn't the least bit easier than raiding a Level 120 Hell Mode, super-large-scale Team Dungeon. Raiding a Level 120 secret land wasn't just about as difficult as raiding a Level 120 Hell Mode, super-large-scale Team Dungeon.
However, if they failed to kill the Final Boss, they'd have to stay in the secret land forever …
Before everyone could process the new information, however, the Crimson-eyed Sword Saint began to chant an incantation. Suddenly, a pitch-black, threefold magic array appeared on the ground, and death energy rose from the array.
In the next moment, a two-meter-tall, muscular man in exquisite armor slowly emerged from the magic array.
[Crodia (Poison City Lord)] (Undead, Superior Mythic) Level 120 HP 3,700,000,000/3,700,000,000
"So, this is the secret land's Final Boss?" Hellscream's expression darkened as he looked at the Poison City Lord.
Level 120 Mythic monsters were already extremely difficult to deal with, and a Level 120 Superior Mythic was a natural disaster on the continent of God's Domain. Even 3,000 Tier 3 experts wouldn't be a match for the Crimson-eyed Sword Saint, much less a 1,000-man, Tier 3 team. Superior Mythic monsters possessed powerful Domains, and players of the same level had no hope of defeating them.
While everyone was still reeling from the data Poison City Lord had just displayed, the Swordsman slowly made his way to the fountain. He then reached his hand through the barrier and grabbed the dark-gray longsword embedded in the ground. He then pulled it out of the ground.
As the longsword was unsheathed, the deathly aura on the blade seemed to have been released. Black fog spread out, and the impact of the black fog forced everyone to retreat. The ground started to decay at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was as if a natural disaster had befallen the area …
"Alright, you may begin now," the Crimson-eyed Sword Saint said as he glanced at the Shifeng and the others.
