Qin Churan stepped into the desolate city.
She walked on ground stained with fresh blood, weaving through the corpses of over two hundred players from the six factions: Excellence, Transcendence, Blaze, Qitian, Fragmented, and Dream Factory.
At this moment, it felt like she was dreaming.
Looking at everything around her, she couldn't imagine what had happened here.
This scene seemed to pull her thoughts back to the time when Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird died tragically before her eyes.
Tears of grief and anger welled up in Qin Churan's incredulous eyes.
Her expression gradually turned numb.
All her hopes and dreams for the future shattered in an instant!
Just then, a commotion suddenly came from the depths of the desolate city!
Qin Churan's eyes turned cold as she grabbed a dagger and rushed towards the source of the sound without hesitation.
When she reached the depths of the city, she saw three players who looked like college students being surrounded by four high-level warriors.
The leader of the three players was a Level 29 Archer girl, known as [Heartbroken Senior], who had been recruited by Lu Ming and Qin Churan last night as a team leader!
The other two, a Level 27 Assassin youth [Heartbroken Junior] and a Level 27 Priest girl [Heartbroken Junior Sister], were also members of this team!
As Qin Churan arrived at the scene, she witnessed Heartbroken Junior and Heartbroken Junior Sister being mercilessly executed by the four warrior players despite their desperate pleas!
Blood splattered on the spot!
The moment she recognized the four warriors as Dragon Soul team players, a towering hatred erupted in Qin Churan's eyes.
She charged at them recklessly.
At this moment, the four members of the Dragon Soul team also noticed Qin Churan approaching.
"Brother Guan has ordered, don't touch God Slayer, Moon."
"Kill this Archer and retreat!"
As they spoke, the four pointed their swords at [Heartbroken Senior].
Heartbroken Senior hugged her head, crying uncontrollably.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
The four showed no mercy, and just as their blood-stained blades were about to fall—
Buzz!
A blood-red mark suddenly appeared on their chests simultaneously.

The next second.
Swish, swish, swish, swish!
Dozens of Death Lords appeared from all directions, swiftly decapitating the four Dragon Soul warriors with extreme speed.
-51868!
-51868!
-51868!
...
Without even a chance to struggle, these four Level 50, six-turn Dragon Soul warriors were slain on the spot by the Death Lords!
Under Lu Ming's command, all six hundred and sixty Death Lords were summoned, conducting a thorough search across the entire desolate city!
Meanwhile, Qin Churan ran over, hugging the nearly terrified Heartbroken Senior, comforting her, "It's okay, it's okay..."
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Heartbroken Senior, tears streaming down her face and trembling all over, said, "We were pulled into a group chat, and they told us to bring all our team members here to gather..."
"When we arrived, there was already a large ambush waiting for us. Their levels were too high, too powerful, we couldn't fight them..."
"They're all dead! Everyone was killed by them!"
Heartbroken Senior's emotions were on the verge of collapse.
Qin Churan asked, "Who pulled you into the group?"
Just then, Heartbroken Senior looked up and saw Lu Ming standing behind Qin Churan.
Immediately, she let out a scream!
"It's him! Nether!!!"
Lu Ming frowned slightly.
He asked Heartbroken Senior to open WeChat, and indeed, there was someone in the seven-person chat group with an avatar and nickname identical to Lu Ming's!
It was obvious.
"The Dragon Soul people impersonated you, using your name to lure them out."
As soon as Qin Churan finished speaking.
Lu Ming's murderous intent reached its peak.
On the surface, it seemed that Dragon Soul Guan Yu was targeting Qin Churan.
In reality, it was a challenge to Lu Ming's authority!
"Are you so eager to die?"
Lu Ming immediately ordered the Undead Legion to expand the search area.
But within a 1500-yard radius, there was no sign of other Dragon Soul team players.
Clearly, their main force had already retreated.
Lu Ming could only recall the Undead Legion.
For now, he and Qin Churan, along with the sole survivor Heartbroken Senior, withdrew from the area.
Meanwhile.
In a forest five miles away from the desolate city, dozens of Dragon Soul players were stationed.
At this moment, a Dragon Soul Assassin approached Dragon Soul Guan Yu to report: "Brother Guan, four brothers couldn't retreat in time and were ambushed by Nether!"
Upon hearing this news, Dragon Soul Guan Yu showed no surprise, as if he had anticipated this outcome.
Instead, he casually asked, "Is everything clean over there?"
The Assassin underling replied, "According to your instructions, only that female Archer was left alive."
At this point, the Assassin underling asked somewhat puzzled, "Brother Guan, why leave that girl?"
A sharp glint flashed in Dragon Soul Guan Yu's eyes: "I have my uses for her."
Starlight City.
After returning to the city, Qin Churan logged off without a word.
Clearly, this incident had dealt her a heavy blow.
The previous wounds left by the deaths of Azure Dragon and the others had not yet healed.
Now, it was like pouring salt on her wounds!
Because in Qin Churan's view, she was responsible for the deaths of Excellence Little Tiger, Blaze Soul, and the others.
If she hadn't invited them to join her, they wouldn't have suffered Dragon Soul's retaliatory attack.
Therefore, Qin Churan found it difficult to accept for the time being.
And just after Qin Churan logged off.
As the sole survivor, Heartbroken Senior suddenly hugged Lu Ming tightly, crying in fear, "Will they come after me again? What should I do? What should I do?"
"I'm so scared!"
Lu Ming looked calmly at Heartbroken Senior.
Seeing her at such a tender age, pitiful and heart-wrenching.
Lu Ming didn't push Heartbroken Senior away but gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'll protect you."
"Since you've joined us, even if you're the only one left, we'll take full responsibility for you."
Heartbroken Senior nodded, hugging Lu Ming even tighter.
Just then, Lin Youwei, who had just logged on, saw this scene and was taken aback.
"Nether brother... how could this happen..."
"No, Nether brother isn't like this!"
So, Lin Youwei mustered her courage and loudly said to Heartbroken Senior, "Who are you? Why are you hugging Nether brother?"
Heartbroken Senior, like a startled bird, quickly let go of Lu Ming, stammering, "I'm sorry, I... I was out of line..."
Lu Ming looked at Heartbroken Senior calmly, dismissively saying, "It's okay."
Then, Lu Ming added, "For now, stay with us, so the Dragon Soul people won't dare to bother you."
Heartbroken Senior seemed more than willing.
"Okay!" she nodded repeatedly, looking at Lu Ming with starry eyes, saying affectionately, "Nether brother, you're so gentle! You're such a good person!"
Beside them, Lin Youwei, with her big round eyes, glared at Heartbroken Senior, puffing her cheeks in anger.
"This is clearly my Nether brother! When did he become your Nether brother?"
But such words, Lin Youwei only dared to think in her heart, lacking the courage to say them out loud.
Lu Ming checked the time and said to Heartbroken Senior, "Let's go, I'll help you level up."
Heartbroken Senior happily replied, "Okay!"
"Thank you, Nether brother!"
With that, Heartbroken Senior followed Lu Ming out of the city.
Lin Youwei silently fumed as she followed along.
On the other side.
Qin Churan, who had just logged off, went to the seaside alone.
Repeated failures.
Along with the cold indifference of her brother and family, made her feel increasingly hopeless.
Memories of the happy moments with A-Long, Xiao Wu, Xiao Hu, and Old Zhu from her childhood flooded her mind.
Even the strong-willed Qin Churan couldn't help but cry at this moment.
"I'm such a failure!"
"I'm sorry, A-Long, Xiao Wu, Xiao Hu, Old Zhu, I'm so useless, I can't avenge you..."
Just as Qin Churan was in utter despair.
Ding!
She received a WeChat message from Lu Ming.
"Log on, and I'll let you personally deal with Dragon Soul Guan Yu."
Hey, y'all! If you're into this novel, do come to to give me a hand and I'll be able to update it quicker over there. Thanks a bunch!
