Chapter 431: The Blue Leaf Guild's Custom, or Erect a Tombstone

The gap in level attributes is too large, especially after surpassing Level 60; relying solely on support bonuses can no longer fill it.

The Abyssal Blade Demon entered the party with a sneer, and the Knight who had been knocked flying surged forward again.

She radiated light and activated the Limit Defense Skill.

Only in this state can she contend with the Abyssal Blade Demon.

But this state cannot be sustained for long.

The Abyssal Blade Demon's arms swayed like phantoms, emitting a rapid barrage of impacts, accompanied by its excited Roar: "Die, die!"

Qiao Zhixin suddenly returned to the battlefield, charging straight into the Abyssal Blade Demon's blade light.

She let out a fierce shout, swung the Giant Hammer, and the Abyssal Blade Demon abruptly halted.

With the Combat Instinct and Guaranteed Hit talents, plus the Stun Skill, even a Level 65 Abyssal Blade Demon cannot endure and is forced into a passive hit.

Qiao Zhixin shouted again, "Full attack!"

The team coordinated seamlessly; before Qiao Zhixin could speak, they had already poured all firepower onto the Abyssal Blade Demon.

Meanwhile, the Abyss Sword Demon hovering in midair let out a light shout, brandished its Long Sword, and in an instant dozens of Sword Qi swept across.

"Careful!"

Qiao Zhixin let out a loud cry.

The mage raised a shield, and the Knight activated group defense.

A deafening roar rang in the ears as the Abyssal Blade Demon broke free from the stunned state in just two seconds.

Qiao Zhixin's Skill cooldown is 5 seconds, still 3 seconds away from being usable again.

She clearly did not realize the Abyssal Blade Demon broke free so quickly.

This is the difference brought by level disparity, hard to reverse.

If Qiao Zhixin were also Level 65 now, it wouldn't be like this; at least she could stun it for 4 seconds.

The Abyssal Blade Demon glared at Qiao Zhixin, "I'll kill you!"

It

is already angry.

The blade light exploded, nearly engulfing Qiao Zhixin completely.

A dense cascade of impact sounds rang out, and Qiao Zhixin was knocked backward by the force.

She is already wounded.

"Zhixin!"

"Quickly heal Zhixin!"

Huo Yuyao shouted urgently, and the healer had already acted.

Jiang Chen watched, his heart as clear as a mirror.

Qiao Zhixin is already very strong; as a Mythic Tier Profession, although not a Main Combat Type, her attributes are not lacking.

With her talents, Qiao Zhixin belongs to the type that can finish foes with a single move.

Among peers, Qiao Zhixin is not weaker than ordinary Main Combat Type professions.

Unfortunately, she faced the Abyssal Blade Demon, which belongs to a strong clan within the Demon race.

Its attributes are extremely strong, stronger than a Mythic Tier Profession but not weaker.

Add the level gap, and Qiao Zhixin naturally cannot be its opponent.

The Abyssal Blade Demon took a loss earlier; now it's angry, its combat power stronger than before.

The Knight who replaced Qiao Zhixin can't hold out for more than a few seconds.

Above, the terrifying Sword Qi of the Abyss Sword Demon swept down, forcing the team to defend with no chance to retaliate.

The strongest Knight in the team, Huo Yuyao, was entangled by the BOSS, unable to break free.

Thus, defeat and death are inevitable.

Qiao Zhixin shouted, "Yu Yao Jie, I'm holding them and the BOSS, you all hurry away!"

After being healed, Qiao Zhixin recovered and, with a fierce shout, used the Group Collection Technique.

Fireworks exploded, instantly snatching the BOSS's attention away from Huo Yuyao.

After Level 60, her Group Collection Technique's range expanded dramatically, even covering the Abyss Sword Demon in the air with the Gathering Technique.

The attention of the two Demons was forcibly drawn to Qiao Zhixin, and for a moment

filled with hatred toward Qiao Zhixin.

The hate‑pull effect of this skill is terrifying.

Huo Yuyao shouted loudly, "No!"

But at that moment Qiao Zhixin ignored her completely, sprinting far away.

Running while shouting, "Yu Yao Jie, lead the sisters away, don't worry about me!"

Huo Yuyao instinctively tried to chase, but hearing her words, the steps she had just taken halted.

She had to consider the others in the team.

If she pursued, the greatest possibility is that everyone would die together, becoming the Demons' food.

Doing so would be meaningless.

Finally, Huo Yuyao, with tears and clenched teeth, said, "Go!"

She turned and led everyone to run in the opposite direction.

Every member of the team had tears at the corners of their eyes; they knew that Qiao Zhixin this time had a ten‑to‑one chance of not surviving.

Jiang Chen, high above, watched the whole process.

From a rational standpoint, Qiao Zhixin acted correctly, and Huo Yuyao was not wrong either.

But based on his personal temperament, Jiang Chen does not like Huo Yuyao's behavior.

Qiao Zhixin gave it her all and ran at breakneck speed.

The BOSS behind her was no slower, and the Abyssal Blade Demon was even faster than her.

Just as it seemed to catch up, Qiao Zhixin suddenly turned and used the Stun skill on the Abyssal Blade Demon.

The Abyssal Blade Demon instantly entered a dizzy state, and Qiao Zhixin seized the chance to keep running.

In the air, the Abyss Sword Demon slashed Sword Qi after Sword Qi, all of which Qiao Zhixin dodged.

Combat Instinct played a huge role, giving her superhuman intuition that let her dodge the Abyss Sword Demon's attacks again and again.

Qiao Zhixin did the same, stunning the Abyssal Blade Demon several times.

The Abyssal Blade Demon roared in fury, its whole body emitting black light, and flames rose on its arms

Abyssal Fire.

Flames brushed past Qiao Zhixin's body each time, dealing considerable damage to her.

The Sword Qi that flew overhead also interwove into a net, making her evasion increasingly difficult.

Qiao Zhixin took out a potion and drank it; now all she thought of was holding on a bit longer and running as far as possible.

To buy a little more time for Huo Yuyao and the others.

Her running also attracted many monsters from the Core Area.

Making her escape even more difficult.

In just a few minutes, she was exhausted and could no longer run.

Finally, a terrifying Sword Qi came straight at her.

Behind her, the Abyssal Blade Demon's blade had already fallen.

Even with a strong Combat Instinct talent, she could not dodge in this situation.

Qiao Zhixin gave a wry smile, "This time I might really die."

For some reason, at this critical moment, Jiang Chen's silhouette suddenly flashed in her mind.

She didn't think about where Huo Yuyao had escaped to, nor did she think about whether she had drawn them away

At this moment, her subconscious thought of Jiang Chen.

At that moment, her subconscious thought of Jiang Chen.

Qiao Zhixin had already closed her eyes, with no trace of fear on her face.

A few seconds later, the anticipated pain never arrived.

Qiao Zhixin opened her eyes and saw a dazzling White Light.

The appearance of Bone Armor means Jiang Chen has arrived.

A look of delight blossomed in Qiao Zhixin's eyes.

The appearance of Bone Armor meant Jiang Chen had arrived.

She looked up, scanned the surroundings, and immediately saw Jiang Chen standing in the air.

With Jiang Chen here, she didn't have to die.

Qiao Zhixin completely ignored the Abyssal Blade Demon that had already charged at her, ignored the terrifying Sword Qi falling from the sky, and ignored the incoming BOSS.

She simply waved at Jiang Chen with a smile.

After the talent bonus, Bone Armor provides defense equivalent to 300,000 constitution.

Even a full‑force attack by a level‑60‑plus Abyssal Blade Demon and Sword Demon could not break it in a short time.

Bone Armor, after talent bonuses, provides defense equivalent to 300,000 constitution.

Even a full‑force attack from a Level 60‑plus Abyssal Blade Demon and Abyss Sword Demon could not break it in a short time.

The Abyssal Blade Demon was surprised by the suddenly appearing Bone Armor, and then saw Jiang Chen.

"A Level 50 little guy, and he even has a Flight Skill."

"Tsk tsk, meat delivered to the door, mixed male and female, tastes even better!"

The Abyss Sword Demon also saw Jiang Chen, but its attention remained on Qiao Zhixin, and it did not act against Jiang Chen.

It must be said that the threat‑drawing ability of the Collecting Technique can only be matched by a few Knight skills.

The next second, Qiao Zhixin received Jiang Chen's party invitation.

She quickly left her original party and chose to join Jiang Chen's party.

Then Red Light flickered, and a Curse descended.

Skill: Aging Curse!

The Curse had just taken effect when, all of a sudden, the Abyssal Blade Demon, Abyss Sword Demon, the BOSS, and several summoned monsters were all immobilized as if rooted, not moving at all.

The Abyss Sword Demon even fell straight down from the sky.

Skill: Bone Prison!

Time seemed to stand still, and everyone was bound.

The Undead Legion surged forward.

Huo Yuyao and the others had already fled far away.

They ran over a hundred kilometers in one breath.

Suddenly their faces showed sorrow, and Qiao Zhixin left the party.

They knew Qiao Zhixin was dead.

Each one wept, tears like rain on pear blossoms.

Huo Yuyao cried out while weeping, "Stop crying, we'll keep running."

【120】 "Find a good spot and erect a tombstone for Zhixin!"

【121】 "Then go back, resurrect Zhixin, and later bring her back to see her own tombstone."
