The two walked with a sense of arrogance.
They had initially intended to utter some harsh words.
Something like: "If you provoke someone from our Chi Xiao Sect, you won't have a good outcome."
Or: "Today is the day of your death."
However, Lin Feng was too lazy to waste his breath on them.
They weren't even Bosses, which meant killing them yielded no treasure chests.
Blocking his path was just a waste of his time.
*Zheng!*
His treasure sword was already drawn from its sheath.
The two were taken aback.
This wasn't how the script was supposed to go.
But Lin Feng's sword strike was too fast, landing squarely on Wang Chao.
-18216!
Sword Qi Riffle triggered.
Splash damage activated.
A damage number floated above Li Bo's head as well.
-36700!
Lin Feng's damage startled the two of them.
They hastily retaliated with their swords.
Lin Feng shifted his footwork, his body swaying slightly.
+1206!
But the result made him disbelieve his own eyes.
Although they had managed to land a hit on Lin Feng, the damage was meager.
In fact, the health he automatically recovered was far greater than the damage dealt.
Wang Chao was also dumbfounded.
He had been regretting his missed strike just moments ago.
Now, looking at the outcome, he realized that even though Wang Chao's swordsmanship was far more exquisite than his own and his combat power was superior, he could only achieve such an effect.
If he had even landed a hit, the damage would have been pitiful.
In combat, situations changed in an instant.
Seizing the moment when the two were stunned, Lin Feng unleashed two more sword strikes.
Sword Qi Entanglement took effect!
Sword Qi Entanglement stacked again!
By the time the two reacted,
they found their bodies immobilized.
Under their terrified gazes,
Lin Feng's sword light and his stern eyes enveloped everything.
After a flurry of attacks too fast for the eye to follow,
-68516!
-77268!
Two damage numbers floated up simultaneously.
The two fell at the same time.
Neither of them had ever expected such an outcome.
What was supposed to be a minor setback orchestrated by the Chi Xiao Sect against an anomaly had turned into their nightmare.
*Ding*, your special unique quest [Chi Xiao Sect's Pursuit] has been completed. You may choose to continue or terminate the quest.
Choose to terminate: The Chi Xiao Sect will cease their pursuit of you. You will receive a complete Chi Xiao Heart Method, Chi Xiao Sword Technique, and a special treasure: Fearless Warrior.
Lin Feng's eyes flickered.
It seemed like a good option.
He would get the Heart Method he desperately wanted, plus an extra Sword Technique.
Although he couldn't see the treasure's attributes, judging by its name, it should be decent.
What if I choose to continue?
Choose to continue: [Chi Xiao Sect's Pursuit] will be upgraded to the ultimate quest [Root Out the Weeds and Eradicate the Stubborn].
[Root Out the Weeds and Eradicate the Stubborn]
Description: You have forged an irreconcilable hatred with the Chi Xiao Sect. Only by annihilating them all can you find complete release. Upon accepting this quest, the Chi Xiao Sect will become your exclusive training instance, inaccessible to other players. All quests related to the Chi Xiao Sect, except for yours, will be removed. Chi Xiao Sect disciples will be unable to leave the sect until your quest fails and normal operations resume.
What kind of quest is this?
Lin Feng was somewhat astonished.
In his past life, he had heard of rare quests and exclusive quests.
But he had never seen a sect annihilation quest like this, where one person held a death feud against an entire sect.
Could he truly complete such a quest alone?
He fell into thought.
Judging by the levels of the two waves of Chi Xiao Sect disciples,
level 20-30 were already elite disciples of the leader rank.
Then,
even the more outstanding core disciples would likely be around level 30-40.
Even the specially cultivated true disciples would at most reach the level of hall masters or elders.
Even if he were level 50,
calculating thus,
the strongest within the sect,
whether it be the sect leader or grand elders,
their highest level should be around 60.
With his current strength, challenging a level 30 Boss might still be possible.
But anything higher would be extremely difficult.
Let alone the sect leader who could be level 60.
Such individuals would not be like disciples wielding ordinary ceremonial swords and possessing only a few common spells.
If he chose to accept,
he would likely face enemies using advanced spells and equipped with excellent or even legendary treasures.
And then there would be monstrous Bosses with powerful attribute bonuses from five or even six subsequent power-ups.
He calmly inquired.
What is the quest deadline?
The quest limit is one month. Upon completion, the Chi Xiao Sect will become your exclusive instance.
Only you or players designated by you can enter.
Lin Feng's heart stirred.
These rewards are quite impressive!
A personal instance all to myself!
How many good things would be in there?
And I can farm it repeatedly.
There's a month's time anyway.
With such a long period, and possessing the game's strongest talent and past-life experience, could he not improve enough to face a level 60 Boss?
Let's do it!
He gritted his teeth.
Continue the quest!
You have accepted the quest [Root Out the Weeds and Eradicate the Stubborn]. Remaining quest time: 30 days.
Instantly,
countless quests related to the Chi Xiao Sect had all disappeared.
In Qing Chuan City,
the peacekeeper, facing the city lord's reprimand for secretly using the compass, was on the verge of tears.
But he could not for the life of him recall why he would have taken such a big risk to do such a thing.
The jade pendant he had kept in his secret room, obtained from a Chi Xiao Sect disciple, was nowhere to be found.
Lin Feng looked at the two corpses with no trace of joy.
The true trial had only just begun!
The Chi Xiao Sect, it was either you die or I die!
At this moment,
the system delivered a delayed message.
World: [Defend Qing Chuan City] Special Quest Completed. Time taken: 47 minutes 21 seconds. Quest evaluation: SSS.
This message made all the players present erupt in cheers.
We succeeded!
Xia Yi Wu Shuang and Xia Yi Shi hugged each other excitedly.
Luo Da Shao sneered.
As if the successful defense of the city was thanks to you.
Xia Yi Shi retorted.
Weren't you involved too?
Luo Da Shao's face flushed red, but he could not utter a word.
Players who did not participate in the defense began posting on the world channel, asking.
Why was it completed so quickly, and with such a high evaluation?
Did only level 5 wild boars show up?
Otherwise, they couldn't imagine.
An event rumored to be grand and difficult with a powerful monster siege, being completed so easily.
The players in Qing Chuan City were still trying to figure it out.
Players in other cities and on other servers were even more bewildered and shocked.
After waiting for so long, was that it?
Sakura Country Server.
Yamamoto Ichiro's face was grim, and he remained silent.
A player beside him, standing only 1.5 meters tall, bowed subserviently.
Yamamoto-kun, the Chinese players completed it so quickly; it must have been an insignificant small quest, nothing to brag about.
Yamamoto Ichiro kicked him away, enraged.
Baka, do you think I'm an idiot?
Yang Jian-kun defeated a level 20 authorized Boss. How could it be a small quest?
Beautiful Country Server.
Arguments between players who believed the quest was difficult and players who thought it was easy due to luck.
had already caused a commotion in the tavern.
They argued incessantly, unable to convince each other.
If others were like this,
those who participated in the quest felt even more fervent anticipation.
Although most of them did not participate in the battle,
the great Yang Jian had indeed repelled three waves of monster sieges and even killed an authorized Boss.
Under the SSS quest evaluation, how generous would the rewards be?
Warriors returning from school, since you can't play the game, come read books.
