Chapter 183: Summoner! Black-haired Ancient Corpse!

“The aura of a peak Stage Five existence! This spell formation was probably prepared by Evil Sect for his advancement to Stage Six!” Xue Linglong’s pretty face was frosty as she shouted coldly.

She didn’t respond to Zheng Jinshang’s question and only made her own guess about the spell formation. The aberrated long spear was gripped in her hand, showing her valiant and heroic bearing.

Luo Xingyao brought out her longbow, and brilliant starlight gathered toward her jade-white palms, about to condense into arrows.

In contrast, Link and Luo Haoyue still appeared peaceful, even a little indifferent. A peak Stage Five [Doomsday Online] player was perhaps an unmatchable existence that others needed to look up to, but these two people really didn’t take him to heart.

Xue Linglong and company actually weren’t too nervous as well. After all, they had personally witnessed the destruction of a Sage’s spiritual imprint. The enemy before their eyes could merely be considered a small fry—no, medium when compared to the blood shadow…

Seeing that Link and company maintained composed looks without the slightest fluster, Zheng Jinshang started frowning instead as he muttered inwardly. Are these fellows being emboldened by the support they have? However, the pressing matter is to confirm the situation on Zhu Changfeng’s side; I will first capture one person and clarify things.

After Zheng Jinshang leaped out from the forest, he pushed his palm out without hesitation and released his skill. His gray robes flapped as streaks of gray light gathered in the empty air. Finally, they condensed into a large gray hand that came grabbing at Link!

This large hand broke through the air to come striking, bringing gusts of ill wind; indistinct wailing was even accompanying it.

The means that the majority of Evil Sect’s powerhouses possessed tended to be dark, stressing on eeriness and sinisterness.

Xue Linglong and the others also acted.

The long, jet-black spear thrust out, and streaks of frosty powers spread with it. This long spear was quite compatible with Xue Linglong’s profession. It could boost the might of her skills.

A huge dragon condensed from frost appeared in the air abruptly; it went ripping into the large gray hand with its teeth bared!

“Seven Stars Broken Moon!” With a delicate from Luo Xingyao, the Big Dipper illusion vaguely emerged before her. Endless starlight scattered down—mysterious and vast!

In the next instant, those waves of starlight condensed into arrows and shot out!

Zhao Yongkang also swung his longsword, and a pitch-black sword ray immediately charged into the skies!

A roar exploded in the area at once!

In the distance, Ou Chen and company—who were at the campsite—all sensed something and turned to look in the direction where Link and party had headed to.

“A battle has occurred on that side! It’s the aura of a peak Stage Five existence; there is indeed something wrong with Evil Sect’s spell formation!”

The countenances of Ou Chen, Wu Hao, and more turned cold instantly. Yet, Zhu Changfeng wore a gloating look when he saw their misfortune. He had waited until this happened at long last! It was his turn to stand with his head high!

When Elder Zheng strikes, he will certainly be able to reverse the situation!

“Hmph! That’s right, my Evil Sect’s Elder Zheng has already reached Stage Five, Level 10. With a breakthrough, he will be a Stage Six Bright Moon-rank powerhouse! It is totally impossible for that Link to be his match; my Evil Sect is the final winner!”

“Noisy!” Ou Chen had a hostile look and delivered another kick to Zhu Changfeng’s face, directly giving a strong blow so that Zhu Changfeng couldn’t speak anymore.

“Shall we go support Brother Link?” Wu Hao suggested with a frown.

Tian Mingyuan revealed a pondering expression and said slowly, “Is there a need to? Why do I feel that even a peak Stage Five existence wouldn’t be Little Brother Link’s match?”

It was truly because Link’s earlier suppression of six Stage Five powerhouses had given them a great shock, so he subconsciously developed such a judgment.

In usual times, encountering a peak Stage Five existence would’ve long had them acting as if a formidable enemy was upon them.

“We should still go take a look. Brother Link’s capabilities might be strong, but we mustn’t let down our guard in all things!” Wu Hao boomed.

Ou Chen also nodded. “Then, I’ll lead people to go support Brother Link. These captives cannot be left unguarded as well. Elder Wu, Elder Tian, both of you can stay behind with Brother Link’s God Devourer Ant to watch the captives.”

Both Elder Wu and Elder Tian nodded.

Ou Chen took several Stage Four Temple of Light powerhouses and rushed in the direction where the battle commotion was coming from.

…

At the same time.

In the center of the Forest of Darkness.

After the large gray palm that Zheng Jinshang condensed was bombarded by Xue Linglong and the others’ skills, it merely turned a few hints duller; its might remained terrifying!

There was ultimately a huge chasm between Stage Four players and Stage Five players!

“Overconfident!” Zheng Jinshang’s expression was full of provocation. Mere Stage Four players striking at me? Virtually comedic!

However, he soon couldn’t laugh anymore!

With a turn of Link’s palm, the [King’s Sword instantly] appeared in his hand!

Link’s entire demeanor became sharp the moment he gripped the longsword. A streak of sword intent surged into the sky and tore the clouds in the sky!

It was as if a ferocious beast in the abyss had abruptly opened its eyes; it also seemed as though a massive dozing dragon had suddenly swung its claws!

Chaos struck the universe!

A piercing sword ray—shrouding the tide-like sword energy—gushed out tempestuously!

That huge gray palm lasted less than a second in front of the sword ray before it cracked at every inch and turned into nothingness.

F*ck! The corners of Zheng Jinshang’s eyes twitched uncontrollably. His entire person was rooted to the same spot! This is a Stage Four [Doomsday Online] player? A Stage Four [Doomsday Online] player can blow up my attack with a casual strike? How is this possible? Have I sensed wrongly!?

Zheng Jinshang hurriedly sensed Link again, but the aura radiating from Link’s body truly hadn’t entered Stage Five. Link was undoubtedly at Stage Four!

This made Zheng Jinshang even more shocked, so much so that a few hints of chill even rose in his heart.

He really didn’t expect for a slap in the face to come so quickly!

This rascal isn’t simple! Zheng Jinshang shed all of the underestimations and became serious. He didn’t hesitate as he swiftly chanted the incantation and released his skill! “There are four directions in the heavens; there are four poles on earth; the Nether Lands are disorderly; the Rasho path[1]opens…”

Zheng Jinshang tossed a talisman, and it burned upon meeting the wind. Along with the incantation that Zheng Jinshang chanted, waves of chilly energy in the air constantly gathered toward the talisman.

Soon, the talisman was no more.

The waves of energy condensed into an ancient bronze door that stood in the mire.

This door was extremely real and appeared to be icy yet antique. It was covered in mottled verdigris and runes…

Creak!

A sound rang. A shaggy black palm emerged from within the door and slowly opened a gap in it!

Gusts of ill wind surged out from the door as if the netherworld was behind it!

Just the chilly winds that gushed out from the door were enough to make the low-level [Doomsday Online] players stiff—they completely lost their mobility.

The door that slowly opened even set off palpitations in Xue Linglong and company’s hearts. It was as if a certain great terror hid behind the door!

Multiple breaths later, the door opened. However, Zhao Yongkang and the rest felt as if they had waited for an endless period that seemed like a lifetime.

An ancient corpse covered in black hair appeared in everyone’s sights!

The ancient corpse’s face had decayed. The spots where its eyeballs should’ve been were two pitch-black holes, looking as if they sought to devour everyone’s souls!

Its mouth opened, and yellow fangs turned out, constantly dripping with foul saliva.

A hidden profession among Summoners… Is his special trait the ability to summon these nether creatures? Link wondered in his heart. His wrist danced once more, and a streak of sword energy immediately shot out!

[1] Rashōmon was subsequently used to refer to the border gates between the mortal world and hell
