Chapter 1 What Kind of Person Is This?

Feng Qianyu, who had just walked out of the auction house, looked in disbelief at the mysterious youth slowly walking towards Cloud Hidden Mountain, her beautiful eyes wide.

This was the first time she had encountered such a situation.

Blackwing City was no ordinary city. Players needed a pass just to enter, and the city's defenses were even better than the imperial capital.

Yet, in broad daylight, an NPC was acting this way.

Most incredibly, even the Tier 3 squad leader of the patrol team was unable to move. The power was simply terrifying.

"What...do you want?" Cloud Hidden Mountain asked with great difficulty, looking at the mysterious youth who had appeared before him.

The man before him was too frightening. Just the blood light flashing in his eyes made him feel cold all over.

He could clearly sense how terrifying the man was.

His strength was insignificant in front of this man. If the man wanted, he could be killed instantly. The only thing he could do was to stall for time.

What kind of place was Blackwing City?

It was probably the safest place in the entire God's Domain.

There was no reason for an NPC to act rashly in Blackwing City.

"Hahaha, you're quite interesting, still thinking about stalling for time at this point. But you should give up. Although you are in Blackwing City, you are in a different spatial dimension. Even a Tier 5 Saint Magister who specializes in space magic wouldn't be able to detect this place," the mysterious youth said with a faint smile upon hearing Cloud Hidden Mountain's question. "Alright, are you going to hand over the Golden Tablet yourself, or should I take it myself?"

The mysterious youth's voice wasn't loud, but all the players on the street could hear it clearly.

"No way, an NPC is actually robbing someone?"

"Is this some kind of event? This NPC is too awesome, actually making a move in Blackwing City."

"Could this be a legendary quest?"

Everyone watched in astonishment, both excited and fearful.

Excited because of the opportunity, fearful of being affected and dying in vain. At their level, dying once was extremely painful.

"Golden Tablet? What is that? I don't know what you're talking about?" Cloud Hidden Mountain said, his mouth twitching.

That Golden Tablet was his hope for further advancement in the Nine Heavens Pavilion, and he had spent a lot of gold coins for it. Not to mention that the entire Nine Heavens Pavilion knew about this matter. Asking him to hand it over to an NPC and then tell everyone in the Nine Heavens Pavilion that the Golden Tablet was gone, as if nothing had happened...

This would definitely enrage all the elders and the guild leader of the Nine Heavens Pavilion.

For him, handing over the Golden Tablet was more terrifying than death...

Shi Feng couldn't help but cast an admiring glance at Cloud Hidden Mountain when he heard him say that.

He had encountered NPC robberies before, and he had resisted, but the results weren't good. His strength was insufficient, and the NPC eventually robbed him. Being robbed wasn't a big deal, but the real problem was that the NPC had taken action.

Being killed by these NPCs wasn't as simple as a player dying once. The punishment was far greater than normal death, and the more powerful the NPC, the more severe the death penalty the player received after being killed.

He was lucky back then, only being killed by a Tier 4 Sword Emperor, losing two levels, and falling into a five-day period of weakness. The mysterious youth before him seemed much stronger than a Tier 4 Sword Emperor...

"You're not giving it?" The mysterious youth sighed. "It seems I have to do it myself."

As the mysterious youth spoke, he extended his finger and gently touched Cloud Hidden Mountain's forehead.

Bang!

"Ahhh!" Cloud Hidden Mountain immediately let out a painful wail, as if the pain came from the depths of his soul, piercing his heart.

Cloud Hidden Mountain's body directly disintegrated, revealing a translucent Cloud Hidden Mountain.

However, the translucent Cloud Hidden Mountain also began to dissipate bit by bit.

And the painful wail from Cloud Hidden Mountain was even louder than before, heart-wrenching.

"So powerful, this NPC actually knows Soul Disintegration!" Shi Feng watched as Cloud Hidden Mountain floated away like dust, a slight shock in his heart.

At this point, Shi Feng felt somewhat sympathetic towards Cloud Hidden Mountain.

He had only seen Soul Disintegration attacks in video materials.

This type of attack not only kills players, but also directly damages their souls.

It was like when he absorbed the Undying Soul of a player.

The Undying Soul was an undying existence. No matter how damaged, the Undying Soul could recover.

The Undying Soul he absorbed was only a small part of the player's soul, but even so, it had already made it impossible for the player to log into God's Domain in a short period of time.

Soul Disintegration was different. It was the pure shattering of the player's soul, completely destroying the player's Undying Soul.

A completely dissipated soul was far more serious than a partially absorbed soul. Although it could be restored, it wasn't something that could be solved by not being able to log in to God's Domain for two or three days. It wouldn't be surprising if they couldn't log in for even ten days or half a month.

"Why bother?" The mysterious youth shook his head, looking at the Golden Tablet that had fallen from Cloud Hidden Mountain's body. "Even if you were to hand it over, I would still kill you. Now that I have the item, let's celebrate with your deaths."

Hearing the mysterious youth say this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

"It's over." Feng Qianyu frowned tightly, her previous trace of hope completely gone.

Not only Feng Qianyu, but everyone else also felt a tremor in their hearts.

Who was Cloud Hidden Mountain?

He was a top expert of the Nine Heavens Pavilion. How could the pain in a virtual game easily make Cloud Hidden Mountain scream so miserably?

"Ye Feng was actually telling the truth!" Feng Qianyu suddenly thought of what Shi Feng had said before.

Shi Feng had said that the Golden Tablet was dangerous. Now it seemed that it was no ordinary threat. Being targeted by such an NPC, there was probably no one who could save them, no matter where they went.

"Damn, this NPC is too cruel, actually not letting even innocent players go," Shi Feng said, his face turning a little gloomy as he looked at the mysterious youth raising his hand.

This time, he had miscalculated.

He didn't expect that an NPC robbery would affect such a wide area. The NPC robberies he had encountered in the past only targeted one person. If others didn't cause trouble, nothing would happen.

But it was too late now.

The mysterious youth's raised hand began to gather endless mana, as if the mana of the entire space was instantly drained and directly concentrated in the mysterious youth's hand.

This terrifying mana was definitely the first time Shi Feng had seen it. If such mana were to explode, it would probably be stronger than a Tier 5 skill.

"Vanish!" The mysterious youth smiled slightly and pointed to the sky.

Immediately, the black mana ball condensed in the mysterious youth's hand flew into the sky.

The black mana ball flew into the air, and suddenly a crack appeared in the mana ball. As the crack widened, it seemed as if the entire space began to shatter.
