"Clack, clack, clack..."
Accompanied by a spine-chilling, eerie sound.
From the abyss shrouded in black mist ahead, a creature with a blue face, fangs, bloodshot eyes, and a body exuding black aura crawled out on all fours!
Its gait resembled that of a gorilla.
But it wasn't as burly as a gorilla, its entire body was emaciated.
Its limbs were extremely thin and long, like sharp blades!
Seeing this terrifying creature, the Dragon Soul team players present were stunned.
"What is this? I've been in the second layer for so long, how come I've never seen such a creature?"
"There's no record of this creature in the guides! This isn't a creature from Sky Abyss at all!"
"What... what the hell is this thing?!"
Just as the players were in shock.
In the blink of an eye, the creature suddenly vanished from sight!
"Where did it go?"
"Where's that creature? Why is it gone?"
"It's nearby! Everyone, be careful!"
Just as the words fell.
Whoosh!
A black shadow darted through the crowd like lightning.
Accompanied by a scream.
Warm, blood with a metallic scent splattered onto the surrounding Dragon Soul players.
When they regained their senses, they were shocked to see: a teammate in the middle had been dismembered!
Head, arms, and thighs all severed!
Internal organs and intestines scattered all over the place!
The scene was gruesome!
The people present were terrified!
"Ah!"
"Ahhh!"
Someone couldn't help but scream.
Dragon Soul Guan Yu's face changed dramatically.
He had already anticipated some danger tonight, so although he only brought ten people out this time, each one was a carefully selected elite, the best of the best!
All of them were level 50, sixth transition!
All accounts had three-star qualifications!
Moreover, Dragon Soul Guan Yu spent millions to specially order a full set of silver equipment for them!

"With such strength, even if summoned by Nether, they should be able to fight the Undead! Yet they were instantly killed!"
Not to mention the one killed, Dragon Soul Fusheng, was the toughest knight among the eleven in the team!
Everyone had no time to react.
The black shadow moved like a ghost, darting around the field.
Accompanied by a series of screams.
Dragon Soul players were wiped out one by one!
And without exception, they were all dismembered like Dragon Soul Fusheng!
The death scenes were extremely gruesome!
Severed limbs and arms scattered everywhere, the strong scent of blood filled the air!
Dragon Soul Guan Yu was shocked, immediately activating his five-star talent [Bloodthirsty Frenzy], looking around in terror.
At the same time, Lu Ming in the rear dared not slack off.
Because he observed: the damage values received by the Dragon Soul team players were all between 30,000 to 40,000!
And according to what Lu Ming knew:
"The eighth realm of the Nether Ghost Tower already represents the pinnacle of the second layer, level 50 undead, with an attack power of only 10,000, far from being able to deal such damage!"
"According to records, in the century since Sky Abyss descended, even the strongest monster that appeared in the second layer, the level 50 golden BOSS Earth Demon, only had a panel attack power of 30,000!"
"This creature's normal attack damage is 30,000 to 40,000, deducting armor value, its attack power... is at least over 40,000!"
Coming to this conclusion, Lu Ming couldn't help but be shocked.
What grade of creature is this?
Could it be a gilded BOSS!?
There was no time to think further.
Because the ten Dragon Soul fighters were already dead.
Next, it would target Dragon Soul Guan Yu and Lu Ming!
Lu Ming immediately summoned the Undead Legion.
His right hand rested on the sword hilt, eyes blazing as he watched the field, ready to draw his sword at any moment.
Finally, at that instant, Lu Ming caught sight of the creature!
It was holding a bloody severed arm, gnawing on the blood from the arm!
Making a "crunch, crunch" chewing sound.
This scene froze Dragon Soul Guan Yu in place, too scared to move!
Seizing this opportunity, Lu Ming finally used Reconnaissance to gather information on the creature—
[Blade Ghost] (Physical Type · Tier 1 Ghost Beast)
[Level: 50]
[Physical Attack: 43,200]
[Armor: 25,300]
[Magic Resistance: 22,800]
[Speed: 20,600]
[Health Points: 758,000]
[Skills: Tear (E-level), Rapid (E-level)]
[Description: Unknown...]
Seeing this data, Lu Ming was astonished.
"All attributes are more than four times that of a normal monster of the same level!"
"Attack power higher than a level 50 golden BOSS!"
Besides that.
What surprised Lu Ming even more was:
According to the Sky Abyss world setting, any monster is divided into three grades: normal monster, elite monster, BOSS!
This creature was classified by a special "tier"!
It had already broken the conventional setting of the Sky Abyss world!
Astonished, Lu Ming's eyes turned cold.
No matter what kind of creature this is, let's kill it first!
Target locked on the creature [Blade Ghost] that was eating flesh and drinking blood.
Lu Ming reached behind.
Whoosh!
At the moment Lu Ming drew his sword.
The Blade Ghost suddenly disappeared from its original spot!
The timing was just right.
It actually missed Lu Ming's Sword Draw skill!
"What?"
Just as Lu Ming was shocked.
A chill came from behind.
Crunch!
Almost without a chance to react, Lu Ming felt a sharp pain all over his body.
His whole body was instantly shredded by a terrifying force!
[Ding~ You've been attacked by Blade Ghost, losing 42,145 Health Points, you are dead!]
[Ding~ Rebirth from Ashes talent triggered, you have been revived, and gained 2 seconds of invincibility!]
Crash!
As a nearby Death Lord disappeared.
Lu Ming, who was slain, revived on the spot.
In front, the Blade Ghost glared at Lu Ming with a ferocious face, claws bared, charging again at high speed!
Lu Ming stood his ground, using himself as bait.
Utilizing the 2-second invincibility effect of Rebirth from Ashes, he withstood the Blade Ghost's lethal attack.
Seizing this opportunity.
"Kill!"
With a thought from Lu Ming.
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz!
The four Death Lords within attack range simultaneously locked onto the Blade Ghost, launching a Soul Shatter + Soul Slash combo.
Slash, slash, slash, slash!
-47,258! -66,321!
-47,258! -66,321!
...
The Blade Ghost's health bar plummeted by three-fifths!
Seeing this, Dragon Soul Guan Yu on the other side felt his scalp tingle!
Because he knew how terrifying the Death Lords summoned by Lu Ming were!
At level 20, they could easily solo level 50 players without pressure!
And now, under the 39x enhanced quadruple E-level formation, after four rounds of Soul Shatter + Soul Slash combo from four tier-3 Death Lords, they still couldn't kill the Blade Ghost!
"What on earth... is this thing!!"
"Clack, clack, clack..."
Accompanied by a chilling scream, the Blade Ghost's limbs turned into blades, slicing through the four Death Lords around it.
Whoosh, whoosh!
The shield brought by Life Barrier was shattered in one hit, and the four Death Lords were instantly shredded!
Lu Ming's heart surged with killing intent.
"Kill!!"
A large group of Death Lords from the periphery swarmed in.
The Blade Ghost's reaction and speed were so fast that even the Death Lords' Soul Shatter skill couldn't lock onto it!
It charged towards the periphery, rampaging through the Undead Legion, unstoppable!
Wherever it went, Death Lords were slashed one after another!
Dragon Soul Guan Yu was so scared he didn't dare to make a move.
An enemy even Nether couldn't handle, if he went up, it would just add to the chaos!
Slash, slash, slash, slash!
With dozens of Soul Shatters simultaneously erupting on the Blade Ghost, at the cost of over twenty Death Lords, they finally slew the Blade Ghost!
Looking at the Blade Ghost lying on the ground, even though it had lost its life, its eyes were wide open in anger, its body still trembling.
And the severed limbs scattered all around, indistinguishable whether they belonged to Dragon Soul players or Death Lords.
At this moment, Lu Ming and Dragon Soul Guan Yu felt an unprecedented fear!
Lu Ming turned to the black cloak standing at the edge of the abyss, the one who released the Blade Ghost from the abyss.
He questioned it, "What is this thing?"
The black cloak gazed into the endless abyss ahead.
With its back to Lu Ming, it said in a deep voice, "A ghost."
"A ghost that, in two and a half years, will single-handedly destroy the entire Starlight City, causing 9.35 million players in Jiang Province to perish."
