Chapter 258

Junlingong City.

"That is how it is; I accepted the title of 【Storm Knight】."

Qin Feng stood at the highest point of Junlingong City, letting the clear breeze blow against him.

Strangely, though the wind was so fierce that the swaying branches creaked and groaned,

Qin Feng's hair and the corners of his robes remained utterly still.

Jessica, the Guardian Knight of Junlingong City, looked deeply at Qin Feng.

This young mage before her was becoming increasingly powerful.

So powerful that even she could no longer see through his true strength.

"So that is how it is," Jessica said with a bitter smile. "If you had not summoned me to serve as the Guardian Knight of Junlingong City, removing me from the ranks of the Guardian Knight Order, I fear I would have become one of the annihilated, just like everyone else."

Suddenly, she changed the subject and asked, "Since you received the invitation from the Magic Tower, why do I not see you hurrying to depart?"

The corner of Qin Feng's mouth curled upward.

He said calmly, "You only need to know that I will absolutely not allow the Divine Continent to fall into the hands of the Evil Faction."

"The disasters the Divine Continent will face in the future will be greater and more numerous; the current 【Undead Cataclysm】 is merely an appetizer."

Qin Feng looked into the distance and said, "Only by placing the Divine Continent under my control will I have the confidence

to lead the Divine Continent through disasters where each level is harder than the last!"

Qin Feng had also received an invitation from the Magic Tower.

But Qin Feng had no intention of going.

Just as he himself said, the current 【Undead Cataclysm】 is merely an appetizer among the many disasters to come.

And only by grasping the majority of the Divine Continent's resources in his own hands

could Qin Feng be confident in leading the Divine Continent through waves of world-ending disasters.

Otherwise, every time a disaster struck, Qin Feng would become a fire-fighting captain.

The rhythm would follow the System completely, and the plot would follow the System as well!

Qin Feng thought, Why should I follow you? I simply do not like to play by the rules!

Lying down and making money is not my wish.

I will stand up and make that money!

A few days later.

"World Announcement: The Human Race's Divine-level powerhouse 【Bai Shou Shan】 was slain by the Netherworld's Super-Divine-level powerhouse 【Zuo Zun】!"

"World Announcement: The Human Race's Divine-level powerhouse 【Wan Tong Hai】 was slain by the Netherworld's Super-Divine-level powerhouse 【Zuo Zun】!"

"World Announcement: The Human Race's Divine-level powerhouse 【Wu Qi Ling】 was slain by the Netherworld's Super-Divine-level powerhouse 【Zuo Zun】!"

The World Announcements that rang out on this day were unusually numerous.

The players tallied the numbers; approximately thirty-eight Divine-level powerhouses had been slain.

And the one who killed them was the same person: the Netherworld's Super-Divine-level powerhouse 【Zuo Zun】!

In an instant, all players on the Divine Continent fell silent.

Waves of desolate sorrow spread among the players of the Huaxia Region.

The Human Race's powerhouses threw themselves forward, one after another.

But in the end, they could not compare to the full-scale invasion of the Netherworld interface.

The Human Race had truly reached a critical moment of life and death.

How much longer could the defenses of the Imperial Capital hold?

"Is everything ready?" Qin Feng asked.

He was asking the executives of the Junlingong Society and the Lord Lord Yongye Legion.

"We have been ready for a long time," the executives replied.

They had been holding back a belly full of pent-up energy; if not for Qin Feng's prior order,

they could not have waited until now to strike.

Qin Feng nodded indifferently and said, "The Guardian Knight Order will lead the charge."

"Prioritize the occupation of Dacheng."

"I will hold off the Undead army in the Imperial Capital."

"I will buy you time; you must seize as many cities as possible within the limited time."

After giving his instructions, Qin Feng prepared to head to the Imperial Capital.

The Imperial Capital.

At this moment, the Imperial Capital was in a state of precarious instability.

The successive tragic deaths of the Human Race's Divine-level powerhouses had greatly boosted the momentum of the Evil Faction players.

More players from the Lawful Faction were defecting to the Evil Faction.

This further placed heavy pressure on the Imperial Capital.

If not for the ten million-plus independent players still within the Imperial Capital, and the ten million NPC army struggling to hold the line,

along with several high-level Divine-tier mages from the Magic Tower,

it would have already been overrun by the Undead army.

And once the Imperial Capital fell, it would also signify that the Human Race's hegemony on the Divine Continent was nearing its end.

At this moment, the players in the Imperial Capital were nearly desperate!

"Why hasn't Lord Lord Yongye arrived yet?"

"Is Lord Lord Yongye going to abandon the Lawful Faction?"

"The human race is nearly finished, yet Lord Lord Yongye still hasn't acted. What does he intend to do?"

"But do you think the situation would change even if the Lord Yongye Society were here?"

"Indeed, the undead army across the way includes a Super Divine-level expert!"

"You have seen that Super Divine-level expert fight; Divine-level experts before them are as laughable as children."

"I think even if Lord Lord Yongye arrived, he would not be a match for a Super Divine-level expert."

"I fear Lord Lord Yongye knows of the Super Divine-level expert's existence, which is why he dares not come!"

"Damn it, Lord Lord Yongye is my idol! He is not the kind of person who fears death and clings to life! I believe Lord Lord Yongye will definitely come!"

"Hmph, if he dared to come, he would have arrived long ago. Why hasn't he come yet? I think he is just cowardly!"

"Even if he did come, he would die!"
