As Zhang Yue's single Heavenly Thunder instantly triggered dozens of white lights, the field instantly fell into a silent stillness.
Those who could appear in this place were all from within the World 32 of the Beacon Nation, the most top-tier group of professionals in terms of strength.
Regardless of level or equipment quality, it was clear to see this point.
Plus, with the halo of the world's number one power, Beacon Nation, added on, this group of professionals looked awe-inspiring at first glance.
But even so, in Zhang Yue's eyes, they were still just a bunch of trash.
About a hundred people were instantly slain half by Zhang Yue.
The remaining people, on the surface, forced themselves to stay calm, but in their hearts, they felt a strong sense of awe and reverence toward Zhang Yue.
Chen Zijin looked at the crowd who were completely silent, and couldn't help but tease, "Why not speaking? Weren't you all quite talkative?"
On the periphery, the professionals from Beacon Nation looked at each other.
But the next second, they somehow summoned some courage and suddenly reached a unanimous decision, "Kill!"
As soon as the words fell, the remaining dozens of powerful professionals from Beacon Nation all rushed toward Zhang Yue.
This scene made Chen Zijin feel a bit surprised, "Let's just say you were ignorant before, but now, even in this situation you still come up to die, what does that mean?"
"The number one great power in the world, the average IQ is just this?"
This time, before Zhang Yue could make a move, Chen Zijin raised her blade and stepped forward.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Relying on the extreme speed of a legendary Tier 4 Shadow Dancer, her body transformed like a shadow, shuttling among the enemies.
Amid a series of agonizing screams rising and falling, in a moment, dozens of white lights shot into the sky.
Compared to Chen Zijin, this group of the most elite professionals from within the World 32 of Beacon Nation was still far too weak.
Of course, Chen Zijin did not go as far as complete annihilation and left one person alive.
Before that knight man could get up, Chen Zijin used a Phantom Step and dashed over, placing her sharp dagger against his neck and interrogating, "Speak, where is the Annihilation Spirit Seal?"
Unexpectedly to Chen Zijin: That level-175 knight man, just as Chen Zijin finished speaking, suddenly twisted hard, causing his own neck to slide across Chen Zijin's blade.
As the already low health bar above his head emptied, the knight man immediately turned into white light and disappeared.
Chen Zijin was stunned, "What does that even mean? Pure sacrifice?"
While still completely puzzled, noise came from all directions.
Looking around, she saw a large number of professionals encircling from the surroundings.
Chen Zijin returned to Zhang Yue's side.
"Zhang Yue, don't you feel… something's a bit off?"
Zhang Yue looked at the group of Beacon Nation professionals charging in recklessly and said, "They know coming over means death, yet they still insist on approaching."
"If something happens abnormally, there must be a demon."
"Even so, we still have to deal with them first before saying anything else."
Saying that, facing enemies attacking from all directions, Chen Zijin gripped her dual blades and launched into battle.
Among a hundred people, not one had the strength to rival Chen Zijin.
This level of battle was just too easy for Chen Zijin.
With swift efficiency, she slaughtered all those Beacon Nation professionals.
At this moment, Zhang Yue suddenly noticed: after these people were killed, as their bodies turned into white light and floated away, a small amount of starlight drifted down.
Under normal circumstances, professionals dying wouldn't show this kind of phenomenon.
Watching those starlights seep into the ground, no new enemies appeared around.
After a moment of silence, white mist suddenly began to seep out from the ground around them.
At the same time, a system notification suddenly rang in their ears—
[[Map Announcement](Reaper Ruins): "Ding~ All professionals currently within the Reaper Ruins map, please note: the Death Aura has begun to release, and the Reaper Ruins is about to enter the Reaper Seal state. For the next ten minutes, professionals will be unable to leave the Reaper Ruins, and dying within the Ruins will result in permanent death without the possibility of resurrection!"]
"Ah?", Chen Zijin's first reaction was one of surprise, "So the reason they deliberately lured us was to activate this map mechanism and trap us here?"
Zhang Yue also suddenly realized, "Looks like the trigger condition for this mechanism is the sacrifice of a batch of living beings to activate the Death Aura."
So earlier, that group of Beacon Nation professionals crazily provoked Zhang Yue with the purpose of luring him to kill them.
And then, one after another, like moths to a flame, they went to their deaths, all for the sake of activating this map mechanism.
All around, white mist continued to seep from the ground, already reaching knee level and rapidly spreading, covering the entire Reaper Ruins map.
Still shocked, Chen Zijin was confused, "But what's the point of doing this? Could it be that within their World 32, someone can actually kill you?"
As soon as Chen Zijin finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from behind, "How do you know no one can kill you?"
When Chen Zijin turned around and clearly saw the speaker's face, she was instantly stunned.
Because the newcomer was none other than, Elfa.
Level 500, ninth-advancement, Mythical-class Ghost Swordsman.
Wearing dark red ghost armor, exuding a powerful aura from head to toe, radiating a kingly aura all over.
Chen Zijin was shocked, "A level 500 professional, how can he enter the Death Territory of the World 32?"
"This… how is this possible!", Chen Zijin's face was full of disbelief.
On the other hand, Zhang Yue remained extraordinarily calm, as if he wasn't surprised at all that Elfa had broken through the restriction and suddenly appeared in the Death Territory of the World 32.
"There is a way," Zhang Yue said calmly, "to allow high-level professionals to enter the Death Territorys of low-level worlds."
"Just that, it requires paying a price."
Chen Zijin looked at Zhang Yue with a surprised gaze,."How do you know?"
"Wait, why do you look so calm, don't tell me you already guessed Elfa would come?"
Zhang Yue glanced at Chen Zijin and said, "Didn't you already guess this was a trap?"
"That's true," Chen Zijin said, "But I thought that since the trap was set within the Death Territory, no matter what, their high-level professionals wouldn't have the right to intervene. Even if it was a trap, it wouldn't pose a real threat to us…"
Zhang Yue sighed lightly, "Then what would be the point of them setting this trap?"
"What you're able to see, is only what they deliberately want you to see."
Chen Zijin still looked completely confused, "Wha…what?"
At this moment, Zhang Yue looked at Ghost Swordsman Elfa and said, "Just to deal with me, you went through such a huge sacrifice."
"Was it worth it?"
Elfa stared coldly at Zhang Yue and said in a deep voice, "At all costs, one day, I will kill you!"
