Chapter 125: Ruthless Heart-Eating Demons and the Hell-Level Treasure Chest!

Because the Tian family had rescued Ouyang Ling'er and Ning Tian Tian from the Tyrant Guild a few days ago, Zhang Yue decided to lend a hand and save Tian Yu and Tian Xin'er from the Glory Guild.

He always repaid kindness and grudges alike—Zhang Yue didn't like owing favors.

Now, everyone watched as Zhang Yue moved toward the Hell-Grade Treasure Chest.

Nearby, freelancers who had long been eyeing the treasure chest set their sights on Zhang Yue.

Under normal circumstances, they'd assume anyone trying to take the chest alone was crazy.

But just moments ago, they all saw Zhang Yue single-handedly crush over a hundred Glory Guild players from one of the three major families of Tianjing with overwhelming strength.

So, whether Zhang Yue could secure the chest or not was anyone's guess.

As the crowd focused on him, Zhang Yue's approach stirred the surrounding beasts into agitation.

Around the treasure chest, the Heart-Eating Demons glared at him with wide, round eyes.

Roar...

With low growls, three Heart-Eating Demons charged at Zhang Yue.

Level 40 Heart-Eating Demons boasted 1950 attack power, 1000 defense, and 34,000 health.

Once they entered Zhang Yue's attack range, their defense was reduced by 240 points due to the Domain Power of his [Glory: Dark Domain]

Raising the [Demon: Eye of Death], Zhang Yue locked onto the three demons and launched his attack.

Icebound World!

Heavenly Fire Devastation!

Thunderstorm Fury!

Divine Flame Catastrophe!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

One after another, powerful S-class skills bombarded the three Heart-Eating Demons, creating bursts of massive crimson damage numbers above their heads.

-4511! Freeze!

-5012! -752 Burn!

-7894 Crit! Paralyze!

-1876! -2819 Crit! -2819 Crit!

With support from his Apocalypse Black Dragon's S-class World-Ending Dragon Flame and World-Ending Dragon Breath, one of the Heart-Eating Demons was instantly killed.

The remaining two, slowed by the area-of-effect freeze from Icebound World, approached sluggishly.

The challenge of claiming the Hell-Gradel Treasure Chest lay in the demons' ability to resurrect ten minutes after death.

To secure the chest, Zhang Yue needed to eliminate all the demons within that time frame.

The Dark Skeleton King charged into the fray to hold the line, while Zhang Yue and the Black Dragon delivered high-powered ranged attacks.

After a flurry of explosive S-class skills, the other two demons fell.

Zhang Yue's triple kill enraged the beasts.

Roar!

Roar! Roar!

Three leader-level Heart-Eating Demons roared furiously, rallying dozens of lesser demons to charge toward Zhang Yue in a mighty wave.

The crowd of onlookers quickly scattered, fearing they'd be caught in the carnage and devoured.

Only Tian Yu and Tian Xin'er exchanged glances, reaching a tacit agreement.

The next moment, Tian Xin'er, the Glimmer Assassin, drew her dual blades and dashed into the beast horde.

Swish, swish, swish, swish!

Her figure flickered like lightning, weaving through the horde with astonishing speed. Each strike of her daggers blinded nearby enemies momentarily, showcasing the Glimmering Assassin's unique strengths.

Meanwhile, Tian Yu, the Undead Hunter, fired arrows with unerring accuracy.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Arrows streaked through the air like lightning, piercing through the beasts. Working with his sister, he swiftly took down two Heart-Eating Demons.

The Undead Hunter's passive skill summoned two level-35 Spirit Archers at Tian Yu's sides upon killing the demons. The Spirit Archers joined the fight, assisting with precise ranged attacks.

Despite their efforts, Zhang Yue's damage output far surpassed the combined strength of Tian Yu and Tian Xin'er.

Moreover, the life-stealing effect of [Demon: Eye of Death], a part of the [Reaper's Set], granted Zhang Yue excellent sustain.

This life-steal effect extended to his pets, allowing Zhang Yue to heal the tanking Skeleton King by converting high-damage attacks into healing numbers of 600 to 700 points, keeping its health above a safe 60%.

Relying on his high agility of 386 points, even surpassing the rare Glimmering Assassin class, Zhang Yue skillfully kited and wore down the Heart-Eating Demons.

With his 5-star Eye of Death and Hellfire Lightning Boots, Zhang Yue was confident in taking on the demons alone.

Now, with help from two rare and epic-tier players, the process became even faster.

In just five minutes, the 30-plus Heart-Eating Demons were wiped out.

At this moment, Tian Yu was surrounded by a small army of Spirit Archers.

Ahead, three leader-level Heart-Eating Demons charged furiously at Zhang Yue and his team.

Tian Yu and his summoned Spirit Archers unleashed a barrage of arrows, reducing one leader demon to a pincushion. Zhang Yue then used high-damage S-class skills in combination with Tian Xin'er's rapid close-range strikes to finish it off.

The remaining two demons were taken down one by one, with the Skeleton King tanking one while Zhang Yue and the others focused on the other.

Finally, all the

The two remaining.

The Dark Skeleton King was responsible for holding one in check, while Zhang Yue and his companions focused their firepower to eliminate the other. Using the strategy of taking them down one by one, they successfully completed the kills in succession.

With that, all the Devourer Demons were wiped out. Only a single hell-grade treasure chest emitting a dark red glow remained, quietly lying on the ground.

As if knowing the chest didn't belong to them, Tian Yu and Tian Xin'er did not act rashly.

Zhang Yue strode forward to the hell chest, picked it up, and stored it in his inventory.

At this moment, Tian Yu asked Zhang Yue, "Brother, may I be bold enough to ask which Guild or Family you belong to?"

Zhang Yue glanced at Tian Yu and replied, "Hevans Hall."

After saying that, Zhang Yue turned and left without hesitation.

Moments later, Tian Xin'er searched online and found the guild Zhang Yue had mentioned. When she saw the results displayed, she couldn't help but feel surprised: "Heavens Hall, a new guild registered less than a week ago?"

"No, this person's background is definitely not that simple."

As soon as Tian Yu finished speaking, Tian Xin'er looked up at Zhang Yue's departing figure and murmured, "His strength is terrifying."

Meanwhile, Zhang Yue, carrying the hell-grade treasure chest, headed toward the exit of the Hell Domain.

On the way, he checked the status of the [Demon• Death's Eye].

As a special piece of equipment, the Death's Eye could absorb demonic blood essence from monsters upon their death. When the purity of the demonic blood essence reached 100%, a unique hidden attachment would be unlocked.

Currently, the purity of the demonic blood essence had already reached 5.8%.

According to the battle log, each monster killed could increase the purity of the demonic blood essence by approximately 0.1% to 0.3%.

At this rate, achieving 100% purity of demonic blood essence didn't seem too difficult.

However, for now, the most important task was to leave the Gate of Hell and use the Hell Key to open the hell-grade treasure chest.

At that moment, a message popped up in the guild chat.

Wu Haotian: "@Zhang Yue, boss, did you get the hell-grade chest?"

Ouyang Ling'er: "How is the news spreading so fast?"

Lin Tian: "Someone probably saw it. The news about the hell chest being claimed has already been posted anonymously on the forums. It won't be long before it's known citywide."

Wu Haotian: "Oh boy, the world's only hell-grade chest? This definitely calls for a live unboxing."

Seeing this, Zhang Yue had a faint sense of unease.

Sure enough, just as he stepped out of the Gate of Hell, he was immediately surrounded by a large group of Infinite Guild professionals who had been lying in wait.

The Phantom Assassin, Infinite Phantom, pointed his blade at Zhang Yue and said coldly, "Hand over the hell-grade treasure chest."

Zhang Yue habitually slung his staff over his shoulder like a greatsword. Looking at Infinite Phantom, his gaze was filled with disdain. "If you've got the guts, come and take it yourself."

"This time, there's no Supreme and no Misty Rain Pavilion. You're on your own. You're dead meat."

Infinite Phantom wasted no words and immediately gave the order, "Brothers, attack! Kill Zero and make him drop the hell chest."

As soon as he finished speaking, before the Infinite Guild professionals around him could take action, a loud shout suddenly rang out: "Stop!"

Following the voice, everyone looked over to see the siblings Tian Yu and Tian Xin'er stepping out from the Gate of Hell.

Seeing that the newcomers were from the Tian family, Infinite Phantom became even more confident.

Originally, he was 90% sure that he could take advantage of Zhang Yue's isolated situation to kill him.

Now that the young masters of the Tian family had arrived, Zhang Yue's death was even more certain.

Excited, Infinite Phantom pointed at Zhang Yue and said to Tian Yu, "Young Master Yu, this is the beast tamer I mentioned to you before."
