Assam is on fire. (5699)

Although Wei Jianyi's opportunities were astonishing, they didn't dwell on it too much.

The four people present all had their own unique opportunities in this world, to varying degrees, so there was no need to envy Wei Jianyi.

Next, they arrived at the fourth stone chamber.

The enemies inside were similarly not difficult; after a few minutes of combat, they eliminated the enemies and opened the passage to the next stone chamber.

Then, they stopped just before entering the fifth stone chamber.

Wei Jianyi said, "Once we get into the fifth stone chamber, Tier 5 enemies will appear. The number is quite large, so we need to be careful in our response."

"Moreover, as the challenge begins, the stone door behind us will close."

"Only by defeating the enemies inside, or if we die in battle, will the stone door open."

"This is also a lesson I learned after paying a certain price."

Wei Jianyi said with a bitter smile.

Everyone nodded one after another.

Then, they entered the fifth stone chamber together.

Just as Wei Jianyi had said.

When they all entered the interior of the stone chamber, the stone door behind them instantly closed.

Everyone looked ahead; a wide space had appeared once again.

It was much larger than the previous rooms.

Moreover, the lighting was even dimmer.

They could only see patches of cold light appearing ahead.

Those were hundreds of Tomb Swordsmen holding longswords.

All of them were uniformly level 45 in strength, and there were even elite-level creatures.

Upon reaching this point, Cao Xing still did not make a move.

It was still Wei Jianyi, Bai Zhi, and their subordinates doing the fighting.

However, most of the people they brought were level 40, which is Tier 4 strength.

Although their potential was high, their levels were too low.

Facing the attacks of one hundred Tomb Sword Guards, they were somewhat stretched thin, and it looked like they wouldn't be able to end the battle in a short time.

Seeing this scene.

Wei Jianyi looked at the two people beside him and said, "Let's join in as well."

"Great Lord Cao Xing can just hold the line for us."

Bai Zhi did not speak; a cold ice longsword instantly condensed in her hand, and she turned into a white shadow, charging directly forward.

Cheng Lu also raised his large hammer and charged into the battlefield.

And Cao Xing indeed did not make a move.

It just so happened that he also wanted to see how strong these three top powerhouses from the four major regions were.

After all, these three already represented the peak strength of the vast majority of Survivors globally.

The battle broke out instantly!

At this moment, Wei Jianyi was fighting more than a dozen Tier 5 swordsmen all by himself.

Facing attacks coming from all directions, he continuously used exquisite swordsmanship, striking again and again, and parrying the enemies' attacks.

Then, he launched counterattacks from tricky angles.

Sword light flashed, like a meteor streaking by!

A cold gleam appeared suddenly, like a snake emerging from its hole!

He cast skill after skill, dealing five or six thousand, or even over ten thousand damage to the enemies!

Moreover, his skill moves seemed quite different from everyone else's.

His attack speed was extremely fast, and his attack power was also very high.

Cao Xing exclaimed in admiration, "Is this a hidden class? It is indeed very powerful."

"However, it is a bit inferior to Tian Jing's Death Poison Lizard."

At the same time, on the other side, Cheng Lu held a huge square hammer and was also fighting seven or eight enemies.

His combat had no technique to speak of; it was just constant smashing!

Every hammer strike carried immense, crushing force!

"Boom! Rumble!"

The ground trembled continuously from his smashing.

The massive force sent the Tomb Sword Guards flying directly, and splashed up damage of seven or eight thousand.

This person's strength was very powerful; he suppressed these Tomb Swordsmen simply by relying on this brute force.

And on the other side, Bai Zhi's battle was even more exaggerated.

She lifted her slender hand, and a strong chill instantly erupted from her hand!

"Crack! Crack!"

The three enemies in front were directly frozen into ice sculptures by her!

Then, she brandished the longsword in her hand, unleashing terrifying attacks.

[-5242] [-6132] [-7524] [-8624]

Damage numbers, each higher than the last, kept floating up.

The enemies had just prepared to struggle out of the ice sculptures.

This woman raised her hand again, erupting a strong chill to freeze the enemies.

She just stood in place, not even bothering to move her feet; if an enemy approached, they would be directly frozen into an ice sculpture.

This move could be said to be even more stunning than Wei Jianyi and Cheng Lu's.

Cao Xing exclaimed, "I had heard before that this woman also awakened a hidden class."

"Now it seems, this hidden class is a bit broken!"

"It's even more powerful than Wei Jianyi's Wandering Swordsman!"

"With this kind of crowd control and output capability, if she grows up, she will definitely be a quite troublesome opponent."

Under the full-force attacks of these three, the enemies in the fifth secret chamber were resolved in five minutes.

"Rumble—"

The stone door opened once again, and the entrance to the sixth secret chamber appeared before them.

Wei Jianyi spoke again, "Once we reach the sixth secret chamber, level 50 monsters will appear, and the number of enemies will soar to three hundred. Everyone, be careful in your response."

After speaking, he took the lead and slipped in.

Everyone nodded one after another and followed Wei Jianyi into the secret chamber.

When everyone had entered, the stone door behind them closed once again.

And ahead, a much wider stone chamber appeared, along with a pile of shadowy figures.

Cao Xing swept his eyes over it; it was just as Wei Jianyi had said.

The enemies here had already reached level 50, with numbers around three hundred, and there was even a Boss-level creature among them.

Wei Jianyi took a deep breath and then said, "No need to be nervous; these are all Tier 5 monsters and have not reached Tier 6."

"We need someone to contain the Boss among them right now, otherwise it will lead the legion to unleash a combined combat skill, which is very difficult to deal with."

"Who will do it?"

Bai Zhi said directly, "Me."

And Cheng Lu also said, "Then I will be responsible for breaking up the enemy's formation."

These powerhouses made the battle assignments in an instant.

After the words fell, Cheng Lu and Bai Zhi, leading the combat personnel behind them, pounced forward like vicious wolves!

And the Tomb Sword Guards ahead, upon seeing them coming, uniformly drew their longswords.

"Clang!"

"Those who trespass into the mausoleum shall die!"

These three hundred Tomb Swordsmen began to charge at Wei Jianyi and his dozen or so people.

Both sides engaged in a fierce battle once again!

"Roar! Power of the Barbarian, grant me your blessing!"

Cheng Lu let out a roar, and the strength on his body instantly surged by a large margin!

Then, like a humanoid bulldozer, he rushed fiercely to the front of the enemies.

Before those swordsmen could get close, he raised the large hammer in his hand and smashed it fiercely onto the ground.

"Rumble!!"

The massive force made the entire secret chamber tremble!

And what was even stranger was that the ground smashed by Cheng Lu did not shatter, but spread out like ripples in water.

It spread directly to the feet of those Tomb Swordsmen.

Then, [Stunned] icons appeared above all their heads.

And taking advantage of the moment the enemies were controlled.

The combat personnel behind them rushed over like hungry tigers and began to frantically break up the enemy's formation.

The hundreds of people inside the entire stone chamber were once again locked in a chaotic battle.

At this moment, the white-haired Bai Zhi was fiercely fighting a level 50 Boss-level creature that was the same level as her!

And it was Bai Zhi who was unilaterally suppressing her opponent.

Ordinarily, a Survivor's attributes are generally equivalent to ordinary creatures in this world.

After using various items to boost them along the way, they could almost reach the elite level.

And for someone like Bai Zhi, soloing a Boss of the same level is something only a hidden class can achieve.

"Swish! Crack!"

Bursts of strong cold air gushed out.

Bai Zhi's left hand spewed cold air, freezing the enemy, while her right hand brandished her longsword, continuously hacking at the enemy.

Blue damage numbers appeared one after another.

Moreover, her attacks also seemed to have an effect similar to [Assassination Code].

When attacking the same enemy, the damage of the next sword strike would be higher than the previous one.

When she slashed to the tenth strike in a row, any casual sword strike could break ten thousand damage.

For a Survivor, this damage was still very powerful.

Even Cao Xing was a bit envious.

However, by comparison, his [Frost Dragon Mage] was even more powerful.

Two passive skills alone raised his damage to the intensity of the Commander level.

Combined with a large-scale Forbidden Spell, he could be said to be a true destructive Archmage.

At the same time.

It took about fifteen minutes.

They finally resolved these three hundred Tomb Swordsmen.

The moment the battle ended, everyone let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Then they began to continuously adjust their deep breathing and started to recover their stamina.

Even Bai Zhi was somewhat panting.

Obviously, the battle just now had consumed a lot of their stamina.

A moment later, Wei Jianyi recovered a bit and then said, "Everyone, the remaining four stone chambers are the most difficult places."

"In each stone chamber, a Tier 6 or higher enemy will appear."

"From level 55, level 60, level 65, level 70—"

"And inside, it will generate elites, mini-bosses, or even Boss monsters based on our strength."

"This is also the place with the highest casualty rate."

"In order to break through these four stone chambers, I lost many people."

Speaking of this, a look of heartache appeared in Wei Jianyi's eyes.

It could be seen that he had indeed paid a considerable price.

Including Bai Zhi and Cheng Lu, both frowned slightly.

Because with the people they brought, dealing with some Tier 6 ordinary creatures was fine.

If they were elites, the intensity would instantly surge by a large margin.

However, when they saw those few figures who had not made a move from beginning to end, the worry in their hearts also relaxed.

After all, no matter what, this time they had brought along this number one person in the entire server.

With him here, those Tier 6 elites and mini-bosses were simply no threat at all.

Thus, Wei Jianyi led everyone and continued into the seventh stone chamber.

The moment everyone had entered.

At a glance, a solitary figure appeared ahead.

He was currently standing with his back to the group, a long sword strapped to his back, appearing incomparably aloof.

From him, everyone sensed a dangerous aura that far exceeded that of a Tier 6 Elite.

Cheng Lu, standing nearby, couldn't help but ask, "Why does it feel like this swordsman is much stronger than a Tier 6 Elite or Boss?"

"This couldn't be a Leader-grade creature, could it?"

Hearing this, the expressions of Wei Jianyi and Bai Zhi also became quite grave.

Because if that were the case, since a Tier 6 Leader had appeared right at the start, it meant the difficulty of the challenges in the subsequent secret rooms would be even greater!

With heavy hearts, everyone took a glance at the swordsman's attributes.

[Sword Tomb Guard]

[Level: 55 (Tier 6 Commander-grade creature)]

[Vitality: 1362362 / 1362362]

[Attack Power: 11625 ~ 11862]

[Armor: 1802 ~ 1943]

[Skills: Master-level Sword Mastery, Wind-Chasing Sword, Water-Severing Flow, Flowing Wind Slash, Sword Sheath Release!]

[Commander-grade Skill: Echo of the Sword]

[Talent: Sword Affinity]

[Status: Summoned Creature]

Seeing this monster's attributes, everyone gasped in cold air!

It wasn't a Boss, nor was it a Leader.

It was a Commander!

Wei Jianyi's face turned deathly pale.

He muttered, "It's over… How is it a Commander-grade creature right off the bat?"

"When I cleared the tenth floor before, I only fought a Level 70 Elite monster. This is fucking ridiculous, right?"

On the field, everyone felt a chill down their spines as they faced that figure!

The gap between a Commander and an Elite was simply too vast!

A Commander could easily wipe out an Elite squad of hundreds at the same level; the difficulty had increased by who knows how many times!

They had been confident in dealing with some Elites or even Bosses with the people they brought.

But a Commander? That meant there was absolutely no hope of victory. Cheng Lu, standing to the side, said with a grave expression, "Wei Jianyi, is there any way to escape?"

Wei Jianyi gripped his sword hilt tightly, his expression equally ugly.

"No. The mechanic of this secret room is that the door can only be opened if we defeat the enemy or if we are all wiped out."

"I only found this out because I sent a few combatants in to scout earlier."

"I thought this time was a sure thing, so I didn't send anyone in to scout first. I didn't expect the difficulty to spike so much."

"We might be in trouble this time."

Everyone turned deathly pale.

Only one thought remained in their minds: it's over…

A Master-level Commander was simply not something they could contend with.

Although Cao Xing was strong.

They didn't believe that with the people he brought, they could deal with a Tier 6 Commander-grade creature.

Meanwhile.

That formidable Sword Pavilion Guard had gradually turned around.

He looked at the group behind him and said in a flat tone.

"New challengers?"

"Let me see your strength."

After speaking, he raised his long sword and charged over at an extremely fast speed.

An invisible pressure struck instantly, and a death-like crisis loomed over everyone's hearts.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go together!"

"I'll control him first, you all go all out with your damage!"

Wei Jianyi and Cheng Lu nodded solemnly!

They were not the type to sit and wait for death; this was the time for a desperate struggle!

Just as they were preparing to rush forward regardless of the consequences, a voice rang out.

"No need for so much trouble."

Hearing this, everyone on the field looked toward that figure, their eyes filled with uncertainty.

Cao Xing didn't offer much explanation and simply said, "Assam, go."

"As you command! My blade will clear away all obstacles for you!"

The moment he heard the order.

Assam turned into a stream of light and rushed forward!

The instantly explosive speed was faster than an afterimage, directly surpassing Bai Zhi, Wei Jianyi, and the others.

The swordsman noticed him too.

Sensing Assam's power, the swordsman instantly assumed a battle stance.

He bent down slightly, pressing his legs down.

One hand held the scabbard, the other gripped the hilt, as if brewing some terrifying move.

Before he even drew his sword, it made one feel a sense of scalp-tingling dread.

Yet Assam's expression remained resolute.

He raised the lady of the lake sword and slashed out instantly.

The moment the two sides made contact, the swordsman spoke softly.

"Water-Severing Flow."

Two powerful creatures swung their swords simultaneously!

"Clang!"

A fierce clashing sound rang out.

The instantly erupted sword qi spread out, and everyone around saw a damage number of nearly 30,000 appear above their heads.

Before they could even react, they felt a sharp pain in their chests.

A bloodstain appeared there.

At this moment, everyone didn't even care about their own injuries, but stared intently at the two people fighting.

Meanwhile, after the sword qi dissipated.

A figure flew backward!

This figure flying out was not Assam.

It was the Commander-grade swordsman.

Furthermore, a terrifying damage number appeared above his head.

[- 123255!]

A full 120,000!

How terrifying this damage number was went without saying.

Assam's base attack power had now reached 25,000, which was even more formidable than Sarah, who held a complete Legendary weapon and had transformed into a Sovereign.

Coupled with the buffs from Blessing of Courage + Strength Blessing + Expert-level Command, his base attack power even reached 35,000!

With the 1.66 damage multiplier of Frost Wolf Swordsmanship, combined with the 50% damage bonus from [Glory Praise], and having triggered a critical hit.

That was why such terrifying damage was dealt.

And at this moment.

Wei Jianyi, Bai Zhi, and the others behind were stunned!

Dealing 120,000 damage with one slash, was he even human?

Among the people present, except for Cheng Lu and Bai Zhi, the HP of the others didn't even reach six digits!

Didn't that mean if this knight in front of them attacked, he could kill them with a casual strike?

And what they didn't know was that Assam was still only a Leader; if he could transform into a Commander, or even a Sovereign.

I'm afraid by then, he could easily break 200,000 damage with one sword strike.

If he could awaken two more powerful skills, he would be even more monstrous!

Meanwhile.

That Sword Pavilion Guard who had been sent flying rolled and quickly stood up.

Looking at Assam, a grave expression appeared in his eyes.

"Such a strong swordsman!"

And the taciturn, ruthless Assam had already rushed up again.

The two sides once again engaged in a fierce battle,

"Swish!"

"Ding! Ding ding ding!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out continuously.

The sword speed of both creatures was extremely fast, their movements faster than afterimages.

It even made Wei Jianyi and the others unable to keep up with their movements.

[- 51523]

[- 82228!]

[- 54662]

[- 58235]

[- 105262!]

One terrifying damage number after another floated up!

According to Master-level attack speed, they could slash out three to five swords per second.

And on the basis of such powerful attack power, combined with this attack speed, Assam had simply become an output monster!

Everyone could see that the Commander-grade swordsman's HP was dropping chunk by chunk at a flowing speed.

At this frequency, I'm afraid he could kill the enemy in less than a minute!

Moreover, this was just his normal attack!

Don't forget, Assam also had the permanently active [Glory Praise].

This skill could inflict an abnormal status on the enemy with every slash, one of which included an armor reduction effect.

Therefore, even Assam's normal attacks were so terrifying!

And, there was something even more terrifying.

After five attacks, Glory Praise also had a burst damage phase.

"Boom!"

[- 134632!]

A damage number of a full 130,000 floated up.

At this moment, the whole scene was silent!

From the start of the battle until now, not even ten seconds had passed.

And this Tier 6 Commander-grade swordsman had already had a full 600,000 HP hacked away by Assam!

It had dropped by half directly!

What kind of concept was this?

It meant that a Tier 6 Commander, in a one-on-one situation, might be killed by Assam in less than half a minute."

At this moment, everyone on the field took a deep look at Cao Xing.

Only then did they realize that the man in front of them had strength that was somewhat unimaginably terrifying!

Any random subordinate he sent out had such powerful combat strength.

And beside him, there were several other powerhouses.

Their auras were not even inferior to this powerful knight!

At this moment, Cao Xing was also very pleased watching Assam's performance.

His output capability had already firmly ranked in the top three of the territory.

Of course, the other two major powerhouses Cao Xing brought, Sarah and Isabelle, were not bad either.

After all, they were both people with Legendary equipment.

Meanwhile.

Both Master-level swordsmen were attacking each other crazily!

However, this Sword Pavilion Guard seemed to have little consciousness.

Although his battle awareness was strong, he kept crazily trading blows with Assam.

However, given the opponent's HP, this style of play was just accelerating his demise.

At the 24th second of the battle.

This Commander-grade swordsman with 1.3 million HP was easily killed by Assam.

The opponent's corpse fell, turning into a wisp of white smoke and disappearing.

Everyone looked at this scene in front of them with trepidation, unable to recover for a long time.

Cao Xing's voice rang out.

"Wei Jianyi, continue to lead the way ahead."

2

Only then did they all react.

"Okay… Okay…"
