"The vice guild leader… was killed?"
As Tyrannosaurus was instantly killed by Black Night with a single sword strike, the mocking expressions on the faces of the Storm Guild players were all replaced by shock.
They never expected that Black Night would actually dare to make a move against them.
And seeing this, Tyrant's gaze became even sharper.
His original intention in deliberately withholding the payment was because he valued Black Night's strength, and wanted to use money to control him, to tame him and make him serve under him.
What he didn't expect was that the usually obedient Black Night would actually dare to resist this time.
"Interesting!"
Tyrant sneered and said, "An obedient horse is worse than a violent wolf."
"Then today I'll teach you a lesson, so you know how to respect your master."
As he spoke, Tyrant waved his hand and gave the order, "Take him down."
Even though they had just witnessed how powerful Black Night was in the battle against Chaotic World, they relied on the fact that he was alone, and that two fists couldn't beat four hands. Plus, common sense is not so common after all.
With several hundred Storm players present, they didn't take Black Night seriously at all.
Following Tyrant's command, dozens of Storm sword-and-shield warriors and berserkers around him charged at Black Night with swords and axes in hand.
An adult's breakdown often happens in an instant.
And Storm was the final straw that broke the camel's back.
At this moment, the anger Black Night had suppressed deep inside finally erupted, and killing intent surged wildly in his eyes.
At the same time, countless strands of black light began to rise from the surrounding ground again, gathering into Black Night's body.
Seeing this, Tyrant, standing at a distance, shouted, "That shadow aura will increase his strength. Kill him before he finishes absorbing it!"
However, by the time the Storm players closed in, it was already too late.
"Begone with the Night!"
With a roar from Black Night as he completed the absorption of all the shadow aura—
Clang!
The greatsword struck the ground.
Whoosh!
A powerful wave of black sword light swept out in all directions.
In an instant, the dozens of Storm players who were approaching were pierced by the sword light, and massive crimson damage numbers exploded above their heads.
-18965!
-19324!
-17999!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Dozens of beams of white light shot into the sky.
In a moment, dozens of Storm warriors were all instantly killed.
With his ID glowing from red to deep purple, almost black, Black Night at this moment looked like a grim reaper stepping out of hell.
The surrounding Storm players all showed fear on their faces, not a single one daring to approach him.
Tyrant, furious from humiliation, shouted, "All of you, attack! Kill him!"
Orders were absolute.
The Storm players launched another assault on Black Night.
And Black Night planted his greatsword into the ground, releasing all the shadow aura within his body.
It was the same move he had used earlier against the Chaotic World army: summoning shadow sword puppets.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The moment a hundred sword puppets were summoned, they obeyed their master's command and attacked the surrounding Storm players.
The Storm players also knew that attacking Black Night's main body could break these sword puppets.
But they had already been worn down by Chaotic World earlier, and had suffered more losses inside Silent Extinction Town, leaving the entire Storm Guild with only one or two hundred people now.
Facing a hundred shadow sword puppets, the two sides were evenly matched.
They simply couldn't break through the puppets to get close to Black Night.
Moreover, the strength of these puppets was clearly higher than that of the Storm players.
Before long, the Storm players were cut down one by one by the shadow sword puppets.
Seeing this, Tyrant and a few of his subordinates on the outer edge were struck with shock.
"Damn! This kid's class is that strong!"
"He alone can actually hold off our entire guild?"
"What do we do, boss? We shouldn't have pushed him this far just now!"
Tyrant clenched his teeth, furious beyond control, "Withdraw first. We'll settle this with him another day!"
"Anyway, the S-rank skill book is already in my hands. Our objective has been achieved!"
As he spoke,njust as Tyrant turned to escape—
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Four shadow sword puppets suddenly rushed in from both sides, blocking their path of retreat.
Several Storm players under him rushed forward to resist, but in just an instant, they were cut down by the sword puppets.
Only Tyrant remained, his face filled with shock.
"Damn it!"
"Black Night, you dare rebel!"
"If you kill me, I'll make sure you never have a place in Inferno City again!"
"Rip him apart!"
With a thought from Black Night, the four sword puppets swarmed forward and instantly tore Tyrant apart.
Thud!
Tyrant's eyes widened, filled with unwillingness, as he dropped to his knees.
The next second, he turned into a beam of white light and vanished.
As the battle ended, the field fell into silence.
All the Storm Guild players were dead. Not a single one remained.
Black Night pulled up his sword, and the hundred shadow sword puppets drifted away with the wind.
Looking at the ground around him, covered with drops like silver coins, potions, and equipment, Black Night murmured, "I'll treat these as the payment this time."
"Once I sell all of this… Nannan, Daddy will have the money to treat your illness."
With hope in his heart, Black Night began to clean up the battlefield.
He picked up the spoils one by one.
Until, at the spot where Tyrant had just died and disappeared, something lying on the ground made Black Night tremble...
———
[Inferno City, at the Resurrection Spring]
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless beams of white light fell.
The entire Storm Guild gathered there at once.
Such a scene drew the attention of many passing players.
Passerby A: "Wow! What are the Storm players doing? Group hot spring?"
Passerby B: "Wait! Why does this feel kind of familiar? Oh right! Back in the level-three main city, Blazing Ember City, I used to see Chaotic World people grouping up for 'hot springs' every few days."
Passerby C: "Bro, do you have any manners? But still… why does that sound so funny? Hahaha!"
Passerby D: "So… did Storm also provoke Rulebound and get wiped out by him?"
Passerby E: "They really dare to provoke anyone, huh? They even dared to mess with the currently dominant Rulebound? Storm's got guts! Quietly mourning them for three seconds."
In the spring, Tyrant was furious.
"Damn it! Miscalculated! I didn't expect the strength of this hidden class Shadow Sword God to be this high."
Since he had hired Shadow Sword God · Black Night to help, Tyrant knew he had strength.
But in Tyrant's view, no matter how strong he was, it should still be within controllable limits. The reason he could hold off Chaotic World was entirely because Storm Guild had people protecting him.
What Tyrant didn't expect was that even without anyone protecting him, Black Night could still fight the entire Storm Guild alone.
"Fortunately, we still got the skill book," Tyrannosaurus said, trying to comfort Tyrant, "Boss, let's use this skill book to deal with Rulebound first. That's the priority."
"As for Black Night, he's just someone with a hidden class but no power, no influence, no backing. We can deal with him slowly anytime."
"Mm," Tyrant's expression turned vicious, "Black Night, we'll settle this score slowly!"
As he spoke, Tyrant prepared to take another look at that priceless, ultra-rare S-rank skill book.
However, the moment he opened his backpack, his eyes widened.
Because he discovered that the S-rank skill book he had just obtained from Silent Extinction Town… was gone.
"Damn it!"
"Shit!"
"The skill book dropped!"
