Volume 5, Chapter 59 – Like An Abyss

For Tianyin, since she had gone out of her way to rush here, there was no way she was going to let those fleeing players off.

Of course, one reason was that so many players were the best source of experience for leveling up as far as Tianyin was concerned.

Another reason was that Tianyin did not have much goodwill toward these players.

On an instinctive level, Tianyin disliked these players from the bottom of her heart.

“Alright, Julius, you go handle things in the main city first. I am going to deal with those players… oh, and by the way, Yivrea is right behind and will be back soon.”

“Th… thank you…”

Because he had learned that Yivrea was coming back, Julius could not help feeling grateful to Yivrea in his heart.

After all, Tianyin could not possibly have come to help him for no reason. The reason she would come to help him had to be connected to Yivrea.

Tianyin did not bother with what Julius was thinking. After tossing that sentence over her shoulder, she flew toward the routed players.

After Tianyin appeared and killed that Legendary player, Yushan Lunjin had abandoned the player army at the first moment and begun to pull back.

And it was precisely Yushan Lunjin’s retreat in the face of battle that caused the total collapse of the entire player army.

At this time, Yushan Lunjin was fleeing together with the one remaining Legendary player.

“God Lunjin, why would that Throne from Dawn show up here? That makes no sense at all, right?”

As they ran, the Legendary player beside him could not understand why Tianyin had appeared on the battlefield.

Faced with that question, Yushan Lunjin also furrowed his brow, his whole manner losing that earlier air of unhurried calm.

“I don’t get this either… logically speaking, Dawn’s NPCs should have nothing to do with the NPCs over here, it really is unbelievable…”

Yushan Lunjin could not figure it out no matter how much he thought about it.

From the intel they already had, there was no connection at all between these neutral NPCs here and Dawn’s NPCs.

By Yushan Lunjin’s understanding, even if these NPCs asked Dawn for help, as the leader of Dawn, Tianyin had no reason to personally step in to resolve this matter.

But the problem was that Tianyin had really taken action herself…

“Why would it turn out like this? Does it mean this game itself does not want to see NPCs being in such a disadvantaged position, so it dispatches a Throne NPC to handle it?”

After thinking it over and over, this was the only possibility Yushan Lunjin could come up with.

When he voiced the guess in his heart, the Legendary player beside him showed a sudden look of realization.

“So it is the game system playing tricks? I see, that does explain why a Throne NPC would personally step in to resolve this crisis… looks like we players will have to rein it in when it comes to killing NPCs from now on…”

Neither Yushan Lunjin nor this Legendary player had imagined that the reason Tianyin had come here and taken action personally was actually not some so-called System reason at all.

The real reason was that Tianyin really did have a connection with a neutral faction NPC over here named Yivrea.

Not only did they have a connection, Tianyin and Yivrea had even spent a period of time living side by side.

Of course, Tianyin knowing Yivrea was only one of the reasons. The more important reason was actually that those Paladins who had gone over to Dawn had “carelessly” let slip the news that Yivrea was over here.

“What do we do next, God Lunjin? Going forward, we are not going to be any match for that one from Dawn, are we?”

“I know.”

For the question of what to do next, Yushan Lunjin could not think of any good solution for a while.

However, just as Yushan Lunjin was lost in thought, a blood red light flashed past in front of his eyes.

The air current kicked up by the light billowed Yushan Lunjin’s robes and made him lose his balance for a moment.

When Yushan Lunjin managed to steady himself again, he realized that the Legendary player who had just been running beside him and chatting was already lying on the ground.

Bright red blood slowly flowed out in Yushan Lunjin’s field of vision.

“…”

In that moment, the atmosphere turned deathly silent. As his gaze shifted, Yushan Lunjin finally saw, not far from the player’s corpse, the silver haired little girl watching him with cold eyes.

“Weren’t you pretty good at running?”

The little girl’s height looked very short. Not only that, in Yushan Lunjin’s eyes, just her thin and weak figure alone gave the impression of something as fragile as glass.

Yet this little girl who looked like she would get hurt at a touch had an expression on her face so cold it made waves of chill rise in Yushan Lunjin’s heart without stopping.

When Yushan Lunjin turned his gaze on the silver haired little girl, the silver haired girl also looked over at him.

At the instant he saw those deep violet pupils… Yushan Lunjin suddenly felt that what he was looking at was not a little girl… what he was looking at was actually a bottomless pitch black abyss…

Facing this kind of little girl, Yushan Lunjin knew very clearly in his heart that he was absolutely no match for her.

Precisely because he understood this, Yushan Lunjin very decisively tossed the sword he had been gripping to the ground.

Then he raised both hands high, lifting them over his head.

“I surrender… kill or carve me up as you please…”

Saying that, Yushan Lunjin’s face showed a look of going to his death with no regrets. Not only that, he also shut his eyes as if resigning himself to fate.

“…”

However, to his surprise, when faced with this Legendary player who had raised his hands to surrender, the silver haired little girl… that is, Tianyin, did not make a move.

“What a strange person…”

Tianyin tilted her small face, puzzlement showing in her eyes.

Even though the player before her was already in a posture of stretching out his neck to be executed, for some reason, a feeling of not wanting to kill him rose up in Tianyin’s heart.

Of course, such a little feeling inside could not truly sway Tianyin’s will. After staring at Yushan Lunjin for a moment, Tianyin still came to a decision to act.

After all, because of Yunchou, Tianyin no longer had much goodwill toward players in her heart apart from Big Sis Xiaomu and Xia Mengyao.

Although she found it strange that the player in front of her would surrender so “calmly,” in the end Tianyin only concluded that this player did not see his coming “death” as anything serious.

Because in Tianyin’s understanding, players were bug-like existences that could revive without limit.

Of course, Tianyin did not know that when she killed a player who had a Legendary template, she was actually truly “killing” that player themself.

Holding onto the thought that even if she killed this player, he would still revive, Tianyin swung down the sword in her hand.

But…
