Chapter 64: Comprehensive Upgrade, Three Level 3 Talents!

Due to the limited space, Lu Ming did not need too many Undead Warlords to kill the BOSS.

Out of the three hundred or so Undead Warlords, Lu Ming directly dispatched two-thirds of them to intercept Dragon Soul!

Even knowing full well that these mere level-19 Undead Warlords were essentially cannon fodder in front of that group of level-50 Dragon Soul players.

Because life and death hung by a single thread!

Lu Ming had to use the Undead Warlords to stall the Dragon Soul members for as long as possible, buying himself enough time to take down this BOSS so that he would have a chance to escape alive.

Otherwise, nothing but certain death awaited both him and Qin Churan!

Sure enough.

Even with the double formations of War Stomp and Fortress of Life boosted by a twenty-fold enhancement, the Undead Warlords were still vulnerable.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Boom, boom!

The Dragon Soul Archer and Mage players, all clad in level-50 Bronze-grade equipment, unleashed a round of ranged attacks that effortlessly obliterated dozens of Undead Warlords within an entire area!

However, the strength of the Undead Warlords lay in their sheer numbers.

Wave after wave, they continuously rushed forward to fill the gaps and resume the offensive.

Meanwhile, Qin Churan, combining superb situational awareness with ultimate micro-control, moved amidst the undead legion, doing her utmost to tie down the Dragon Soul players.

Her attacks were not enough to pose a threat to these level-50 Dragon Soul players.

Yet, utilizing various brilliant skills and unique offensive moves in coordination with the Undead Warlords, she effectively disrupted the advancing pace of the enemy players, buying precious time for Lu Ming in the rear.

However, just as the situation was showing a slight turn for the better.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a powerful arc of blade light swept in from the front!

With lightning-fast reflexes, Qin Churan leaped into the air, dodging the blade light through precise maneuvering.

Dozens of surrounding Undead Warlords, however, failed to evade the strike; caught in the sweep of the blade light, they were instantly annihilated by massive damage exceeding 50,000!

The next second, clad in Gold-grade equipment and bearing the golden national emblem of a level-60 Tier-6 Warrior of Great Xia—Dragon Soul Guan Yu—with cold murderous intent in his eyes and dragging a Guan Dao, approached step by step!

The towering level suppression of 31 levels rendered the reflective damage effect of the equipment skill [Acidic Retaliation] completely ineffective against Dragon Soul Guan Yu.

"Kill."

Through sheer willpower, he issued the attack command to all the Undead Warlords across the entire battlefield.

As for Lu Ming, he kept his eyes fixed on the Saber-Toothed Tiger King, which was down to its last 30% health, and accelerated his assault.

Facing the swarming undead legion ahead, a flash of murderous intent crossed Dragon Soul Guan Yu's eyes.

"Courting death."

As soon as those words fell, Dragon Soul Guan Yu raised his long blade and charged into the fray!

Slash, slash, slash, slash!

With every flick of his wrist and drop of his blade, he relied on explosive damage to hack the Undead Warlords down to the ground one by one.

Following the breakthrough forged by Dragon Soul Guan Yu, dozens of Dragon Soul players in the rear pushed deep in a straight line, instantly shattering the entire undead legion!

Qin Churan glanced back at Lu Ming.

Knowing full well that she could no longer hold them off, she clenched her teeth resolutely and fought to the bitter end!

Bang!

In the end, she was struck heavily to the ground by a single, ferocious slash from the oncoming Dragon Soul Guan Yu.

"I can tell that your relationship with those four I killed earlier must be quite good."

"Then I'll be thorough and send you to be reunited with them."

With that, just as Dragon Soul Guan Yu raised his blade to cut down the fallen Qin Churan.

Boom!

Accompanied by a deafening roar.

Lifting his gaze, he saw the massive form of the Saber-Toothed Tiger King ahead crashing heavily to the ground under the siege of dozens of Undead Warlords.

Looking back to witness this scene, Qin Churan squeezed out a gratified smile amidst her exhaustion, "It seems I didn't misjudge you after all..."

The Dragon Soul players grew frantic.

"Damn it, that brat actually popped the BOSS!"

"Fuck! A hundred-thousand-HP BOSS just gone like that!"

"No, it's even better that he killed it! Killing this level-30 BOSS at his level makes the value even higher! The drops from the BOSS are the most valuable part!"

" Slaughter that brat, don't let him take the BOSS loot!"

With those shouts, dozens of Dragon Soul players aggressively charged toward Lu Ming.

Meanwhile.

As Lu Ming defeated the BOSS, a beam of golden light showered down upon his head.

[Ding~ You have slain the level-30 Silver BOSS, Brutal Saber-Toothed Tiger King, EXP +420,000!]

[Ding~ Congratulations on leveling up... Current level is Level 20. Please complete the Tier-3 advancement before continuing to level up!]

Bathed in the golden radiance of leveling up, several melodic notifications echoed in his ears.

[Ding~ Congratulations, your talent Comprehensive Amplification has been upgraded to Lv3!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, your talent Soul Cleaver has been upgraded to Lv3!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, your talent Rebirth through Fire has been upgraded to Lv3!]

"The moment has finally arrived!"

Lu Ming watched with excitement as he saw that after Comprehensive Amplification upgraded to Lv3, the skill enhancement effect indeed jumped from 20 times to 30 times!

Moreover, the tier-2 Undead Warlords could now be evolved into tier-3 Death Lords by consuming 40 points of soul power!

Or directly summoned as Death Lords by consuming 50 points of soul power!

The maximum summon limit for Death Lords was Lu Ming's level multiplied by 30, which equaled six hundred!

At this moment, Lu Ming turned around.

When he saw the ground ahead littered with the corpses of Undead Warlords—aside from the dozen or so Undead Warlords behind him that had been fighting the BOSS, over two hundred other Undead Warlords had all fallen in battle just to protect their master.

Looking at the group of Dragon Soul players who were wantonly trampling over the corpses of the Undead Warlords and closing in on him.

A monstrous fury instantly surged within Lu Ming's heart.

"You're asking for it!"

With an angry roar, Lu Ming opened the Undead Legion summoning interface.

He consumed 480 points of soul power to complete the evolution of the twelve tier-2 Undead Warlords remaining on the field.

The next instant.

Clack, clack!

Right behind Lu Ming, the armor of the twelve Undead Warlords, previously fully clad in silver armor, morphed into a dark crimson hue, developing sharper, more intricate blood-colored patterns that constantly flowed with vitality.

A crimson royal cloak billowed from their backs.

Beneath their heavy metal helmets, the cyan ghostly light in their eyes was replaced by a blood-red glow filled with brutality, bloodlust, and slaughter.

Whoosh!

The long swords in their hands ignited with crimson flames.

The oppressive aura of formidable might radiating from their entire bodies forced the approaching Dragon Soul players ahead to involuntarily halt their steps.

They inexplicably felt an unprecedented, intense deterrence!

co-

"What's going on? How can his summons evolve?"

"Could it be that he killed the BOSS just to reach level 20 to meet some requirement and evolve his summons?"

As the crowd exchanged bewildered glances.

Dragon Soul Guan Yu's voice echoed from the rear: "No matter how they evolve, they're still just a bunch of level-20 ants."

"Are a group of level-50 players really afraid of a bunch of level-20 ants?"

Dragon Soul Guan Yu's words instantly snapped the Dragon Soul players out of the shock induced by the Death Lords.

"Damn it! Almost forgot, this brat's summons are only level 20! He's just borrowing the tiger's might!"

"Then what the hell is there to fear? I could just stand here and let them hack at me, and they couldn't even scratch me!"

"Why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?"

While speaking, a level-50 Assassin named [Dragon Soul Aoshi] stepped out from the crowd, casting a disdainful gaze at Lu Ming and the twelve Death Lords behind him, a wild, arrogant smile curling the corners of his mouth.

"I can easily deal with all of them by myself."

As soon as those words fell, Dragon Soul Aoshi gripped his daggers and charged at Lu Ming at extreme speed.

Meanwhile, Lu Ming stood calmly in place, unfazed in the face of danger.

He opened his inventory, retrieved the level-20 Bronze-grade [Soul Set] he had prepared long ago, and equipped the entire set with a single click.

The moment he raised his head.

Deep within his eyes, a fierce, intense murderous intent emerged.
