You and Him, Die Together!

Dragon Abyss was currently furious—extremely furious.

With Team Yuewu and Team LPC fleeing at the last minute, their formerly overwhelming numerical advantage had instantly evaporated, leaving them barely on par with the other side.

Adding to that, there was Dawn’s Light clad in an epic set, and an enigmatic Cecilia. If a fight truly broke out, their chances of victory were indeed slim.

There was no helping it—the drop rate of equipment in “Legend of Krolan” was far too low.

Most players were still clad in beginner gear with no extra stats; even a single blue rare item was already hard to come by.

As for epic-tier equipment, there were only two sets in the entire world, both coincidentally in Cecilia’s possession.

If combat power wasn’t balanced, what’s the use of numbers? If this battle truly happened, Dragon Abyss knew he’d suffer the greatest losses.

Originally, that epic equipment was supposed to be his…

The thought made Dragon Abyss burn with even greater frustration.

In every game he’d ever played, it was always him bullying others—when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

Anger surged in Dragon Abyss, a flush of rage appearing on his face as he gritted his teeth and said, “As I said, you owe me compensation—not a single gold coin less. Return our equipment immediately, or if you cross us, the Proud World Team, this game won’t be fun for you any longer.”

Contained in his words was an unmistakable threat.

Proud World Team was one of the most famous top-tier teams in the country, possessing the power to summon thousands in any online game they joined. Ordinary players who had offended them before rarely came to a good end.

“Planning to hunt me down? You’d best consider whether you have the ability to do so.”

Facing Dragon Abyss’s blatant threat, the girl in the black cloak only smiled indifferently.

Coincidentally, Chen Zixuan had fears—but threats weren’t among them.

He had struggled for years at society’s bottom rung, and had heard such threats not just a hundred times, but dozens of rounds.

If I’m not even afraid of threats in the real world, do you really think you’ll scare me in a game?

“Little sister, don’t be afraid of Proud World Team. Our Yuewu ladies will watch your back—from now on you can relax.”

Yuewu herself turned around, giving Chen Zixuan a playful smile as if trying to please him.

Chen Zixuan nodded slightly, his opinion of the girl improving considerably.

What could he do? As a man, it was hard to resist a beautiful and proactive girl.

Yet he seemed to forget—if he took off his own hood, he’d be quite the stunning beauty, too.

“Yuewu, are you planning to go against us at Proud World as well?”

Dragon Abyss was about to explode with anger, staring at the delicate maiden with mist-blue hair, wishing he could slash her across the face right now.

“I wouldn’t dare oppose Proud World; I’m just protecting a potential new member. Is that so wrong?”

Yuewu crossed her arms, squinting her eyes with a sly, fox-like smirk on her lips, pleased with her little victory.

Though she wasn’t on par with a team like Proud World, team Yuewu was still consistently ranked among the top ten teams nationwide.

Moreover, many in the team were fair-skinned, beautiful, gaming-obsessed girls who conveniently appealed to the tastes of most male players—thanks to this, team Yuewu’s influence rivaled that of the self-proclaimed number one, Proud World.

Judging by Cecilia’s earlier reaction, Yuewu knew her move had succeeded.

As long as she could cling to Cecilia’s thigh, and eventually pull her into the team, the rewards from world-class bosses would be theirs for the taking.

Compared to that, offending Proud World, or even losing a world-class boss’ first kill, was trivial.

Yuewu was clever and had great foresight—she was hardly just a pretty ornament as some players claimed.

“Fine, very good.”

Dragon Abyss’s lips twisted into a stiff, forced smile.

At the same time, he firmly etched Cecilia, Yuewu, and Dawn’s Light into his memory.

“Let’s end things here for today. If I see you anywhere else, you’d better watch it. We’re leaving!”

With that, Dragon Abyss violently turned and started to leave with his group. If he could, he’d have flown straight out of that cursed forest.

Seeing Dragon Abyss finally about to leave, both Dawn’s Light and Yuewu let out a secret sigh of relief.

However, just then, a calm, lazy voice rang out from behind.

“What you just said—should I take that to mean… you intend to get revenge on me?”

Cecilia!

Dragon Abyss halted, fists clenched, his whole body shaking with fury.

He turned to glare at Chen Zixuan, voice brimming with rage, “That’s right, I am going to get revenge—what are you going to do about it?”

Chen Zixuan smiled silently, lifting his head slightly. Under the hood, his ice-blue eyes met Dragon Abyss’s blazing ones squarely.

“Do you really think… I’d be like some villain in a novel, letting the tiger return to the mountain and allowing you to come back for revenge?”

Dragon Abyss tensed, gripping his sword reflexively. “What are you trying to do?”

After a brief pause, Chen Zixuan’s tone turned icy cold.

“If you intend to take me down in the future, it’s only reasonable for me to deal with you first to eliminate any potential threats, wouldn’t you say?”

Chen Zixuan remembered: in ‘Legend of Krolan’, there was a chance for equipment to drop upon death.

With Dragon Abyss’s fame as a captain of a major team, the gear on him would surely fetch a good price.

“Hey, you filthy whore! Who do you think you’re talking to? You want to get yourself blacklisted from this game?”

Dragon Abyss hadn’t spoken yet, but a male player by his side, fiercely protective, jumped in first.

This player’s nickname was [Clouds Over Heaven], a well-known professional in the country, notorious for using rogues and assassins. In other games, he had once reached the top server ranking with a rogue.

Naturally, in the opening of ‘Legend of Krolan’, he also picked Assassin as his class.

The moment he spoke, Chen Zixuan’s face darkened, and the air within several meters around her seemed to freeze instantly.

Clearly, that player’s words had triggered some dark memories.

Blurring figures… flying furniture… bloodstained walls…

And the phrase deeply carved into Chen Zixuan’s memory:

“Chen Zixuan, so you want to get yourself blacklisted from this school?”

The silver-haired girl abruptly smiled.

In the next second—before anyone could react—she drew her obsidian dagger from her waist, sprung forward with explosive speed, her body shooting out like an arrow!

With an agility bonus of 377, it took her less than a second to reach Clouds Over Heaven.

The hood flew up—in his eyes, a flawlessly beautiful face was reflected, but what came from her cherry lips was a voice colder than ice.

“You and him—die together!”
