["Sister Zijin, retreat now, the eight ferocious beasts are still guarding the place, you're going there to die!"]
["Even if you enter the Divine Tomb, it's not guaranteed that you'll find the president. Don't go in. Before you anger those eight ugly things, hurry and fall back!"]
The World 57 of the Otherworld. Outside the entrance to the Divine Tomb secret realm.
Chen Zijin gripped her twin blades, her gaze blazing as she stared at the eight ferocious beasts guarding the entrance.
The messages echoing beside her ears could not stop her advancing steps.
"Zhang Yue is in there, how could I retreat?"
"I'm going in and bringing Zhang Yue back!"
In that instant, the killing intent belonging to the myth-tier class Shadow Dancer burst madly from within Chen Zijin.
Seeing that Chen Zijin refused to listen, Ouyang Linger quickly switched strategies, "Then follow my commands. I've already analyzed the weaknesses of the eight ferocious beasts. As long as you attack targeting those weaknesses, even if you can't kill them, you should have no problem breaking through them to reach the Divine Tomb."
"Alright."
Chen Zijin continued closing in on the Divine Tomb.
At the same time, the eight ferocious beasts guarding outside seemed long starved for battle.
"See? I said we should keep waiting here. We're not even sure if the necromancer is truly dead. Until then we can still guard this place and get more prey."
"Prey. Isn't one coming right now?"
"This one looks like a human expert too. Kill her and remove the obstacle."
As soon as the words fell, the eight ferocious beasts erupted with battle intent. Their overwhelming killing intent surged toward Chen Zijin.
In the voice call, Ouyang Linger's voice came through:
["Shadow is the fastest. It will definitely be the first one to close in on you. Watch its movement. Based on its current position, there's a ninety percent chance it will come at you in a straight line from your two o'clock direction."]
["Dark Angel can fly. It will definitely cooperate with Shadow and attack you from the air."]
["Emperor and Gluttony excel at frontal attacks. Doom likes to go invisible and circle behind…"]
Chen Zijin said nothing, quietly listening to Ouyang Linger's tactical commands.
The eight ferocious beasts closed in.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
She rapidly released clones, switching positions at extreme speed with them, perfectly avoiding the first wave of attacks.
She knew that with her own power there was absolutely no way she could stand against emperor-tier bosses.
Chen Zijin didn't entangle herself with them.
She pulled back and ran toward the Divine Tomb.
However, the eight ferocious beasts, as emperor-tier bosses, were not so easy to deal with.
The one codenamed [Doom] suddenly lunged in front of Chen Zijin, blade sweeping across.
Chen Zijin quickly retreated to dodge.
["Four o'clock Emperor! Seven o'clock Gluttony!"]
["Move two steps toward your three o'clock!"]
Following Ouyang Linger's instructions, Chen Zijin shifted to her right.
The next moment, Emperor and Gluttony swept past her on both sides, brushing perfectly by her.
After that, the attacks of the other beasts were also evaded one by one through her extreme movement technique.
Even under the eight beasts' encirclement, they couldn't touch a single hair on her.
It had to be said: Ouyang Linger's command and real-time data analysis were insanely strong.
Of course, it also depended on Chen Zijin's reaction speed.
If it were an ordinary person, even with flawless command, they would still hardly escape death.
Clearly, the eight ferocious beasts noticed something off.
"How can her reaction be so fast?"
"It's like every step we take is already in her expectation."
"There must be someone commanding her from outside!"
"Cut off her external link!"
With those words, Dark Angel immediately exerted power, releasing a wave of light that covered the entire field.
The next moment, Chen Zijin was instantly disconnected from Ouyang Linger.
["Move toward your ten o'clock! Hurry!"]
["Hello? Can you hear me?"]
["Hello?"]
"What happened?", Ouyang Linger panicked, "What the hell! The signal got cut!"
"It must be those ugly things' doing!"
While she was speaking.
Not only the voice call, but even the video feed from Chen Zijin's side cut out.
"Damn! This is bad, this is really bad…"
Ouyang Linger was frantic, "These old sneaks are way too cunning!"
———
On the battlefield, without Ouyang Linger's command, Chen Zijin indeed couldn't handle the eight beasts.
Their attacks and movements were completely unreadable.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Under the rapid assault of the eight ferocious beasts, Chen Zijin was quickly overwhelmed.
Just when she was about to give out—
Suddenly!
Swoosh!
A powerful golden sword light flashed by, flipping all eight beasts that had been lunging toward Chen Zijin.
Thinking she was doomed, Chen Zijin turned to her left and saw a warrior wearing purple astral armor, holding a golden greatsword, walking slowly toward her.
Chen Zijin didn't even recognize him at first glance.
With a second look, she finally realized the man was none other than Sword Emperor Luo Chen.
Just then, the cut video feed reconnected.
Through Chen Zijin's screen, Ouyang Linger and the others also saw Luo Chen walking toward her.
Instantly, everyone in front of the screen burst into excitement.
["Holy crap! Luo Chen!"]
["He didn't say a word. When did he rush to the World 57?"]
["Holy crap! He left us in the World 40 to fend for ourselves and ran off alone!"]
["Luo Chen is literal lifesaving rain!"]
["But can he really fight emperor-tier bosses?"]
———
[On the Field]
Luo Chen held his sword, countless sword shadows blooming around him, his powerful aura pressing toward the eight beasts.
The beasts noticed him too.
"Another one who's tired of living!"
"Kill him!"
As soon as the words ended, four of the beasts split off to attack Luo Chen.
At that moment, an immense power erupted from within Luo Chen.
SSSSS-tier forbidden spell skill—
Desire Flame Inferno!
BOOM!
A massive wave of violet fire swept in all directions, instantly engulfing all eight beasts.
The power was so overwhelming that even the eight beasts couldn't resist and were knocked to the ground.
Seeing this, everyone watching the screen was stunned.
["When did Luo Chen become this strong?"]
["Don't forget, he's wearing the Desire God set, has the Desire Source Stone, and also the forbidden spell Desireflame Inferno three-piece combo!"]
["Oh right! He's the president's favorite now. He's not even on the same level as us anymore!"]
After temporarily suppressing the eight beasts with the forbidden spell.
Luo Chen looked at Chen Zijin.
They didn't speak.
But both understood the other's intent.
Taking advantage of the opportunity Luo Chen bought her, Chen Zijin dashed toward the Divine Tomb entrance.
In the end, she successfully broke through the eight beasts' blockade and entered the Divine Tomb.
