Li Yi was only grinding his level at the Foreignland Entrance and Demonic Forest. He was far away from the real Foreignland.

Everyone was still fighting hard at Sin City under Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s leadership. However, it was practically impossible for them to kill the Fourth Demon God and Fifth Demon God any time soon.

The Fourth Demon God and the Fifth Demon God were known as the Twin Demon Gods. Since they always moved out together, they had no choice but to kill them simultaneously.

It would be a dream to win against two Demon Gods simultaneously if the average players’ level was below Level 160.

The level difference was simply too wide apart.

Players were better off killing monsters to gain high EXP than befriending demons and leveling up via quests in Sin City. This was the reason why Li Yi chose to level up by killing monsters.

He had high ATK, Freya to help him to pull the monsters, Panda Fighter and Alleria to assist him in clearing the monsters. In terms of clearing speed, who could top him?

Qian’er the Fire Wizard might be inferior to him even if she were here.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye and Li Yi had successfully leveled up to Level 150. He was now qualified to enter the Lostland Instance Dungeon.

The doubts about Li Yi’s strength did not stop within this time frame. Instead, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s reputation skyrocketed and it was rising as each day passed.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was indeed skilled. After defeating Li Yi, he took the opportunity to defeat a few more celebrities in the Ninth Continent while he was still on a roll. He had even dueled with Brother Windcloud Nine five days ago and it made his reputation rise even quicker.

Brother Windcloud Nine, who possessed the Level 130 Impartial Patron Equipment Set and 615 Holy value, had lost to Tyrant Sword King the Fifth…

In terms of equipment, Brother Windcloud Nine had the upper hand. In terms of Holy value, Brother Windcloud Nine had the upper hand as well. In terms of level, Brother Windcloud Nine was still the one who stood at the top. Brother Windcloud Nine could not find a chance to fight back against Tyrant Sword King the Fifth despite having the upper hand in these aspects. In fact, the former was easily defeated by the latter.

The player base was beyond astonished when the video was uploaded.

As of now, the cruelest player in the Ninth Continent, September Sky, had just joined the game and had yet to make an appearance. In terms of reputation and skill, Brother Windcloud Nine was without a doubt the best.

The Invincible Continent’s God of Archery had fallen and now, the Ninth Continent’s best Paladin had fallen as well. How could Tyrant Sword King the Fifth not be famous?

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had been showing off the entire time.

Meanwhile, Li Yi… Was too much of a coward!

This was the players’ general comment towards him.

Brother Windcloud Nine went back to challenge Tyrant Sword King the Fifth the instant he lost. Although the end result was still the same, many players were impressed by his will to not give in.

On the other hand, Li Yi had been busy grinding his levels after he lost. He did not have the motive of seeking revenge from Tyrant Sword King the Fifth at all. It was only natural that people thought that he was afraid based on his actions.

“Dark Wing must be scared. He’s scared of losing again and that’s why he doesn’t dare to challenge him.”

“It’s obvious that he’s scared. He’s taken a great ordeal to get his name out. Heh, if he were to be tortured by him again, it’d be interesting to know the consequences.”

“Who would’ve thought that the God of Archery is a p*ssy.”

Messages like this appeared In the World Channel on a daily basis. Li YI’s supporters were naturally angry when they saw such messages and unavoidably started a flame war against them.

Li Yi was the only one who was able to hold himself back. He had never cared about anyone’s opinion. He knew what was going on despite all of the rumors flying around.

Liu Zilang had been taking note of Shangri-La’s development. He was able to ignore Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s uprising but he could not bring himself to ignore Shangri-La’s development.

As soon as Wang Enterprise dared to invest in it, he would immediately make his move so that Tyrant Sword King the Fifth would not have the chance to fight back.

It was go big or go home!

The Ancient King’s Soul Instance Dungeon had been released for a while now. The first kills for the Lostland and the Heroic difficulty meant the five parties had yet to be taken by anyone.

Li Yi did not use all of his core members to challenge the Lostland Dungeon. Instead, he had assistants from two external parties.

They were the husband and wife Brother Windcloud Nine and Sister Windcloud Nine. The other two were Qian’er and Fire Ice.

Brother Windcloud Nine’s Territory Skill was immensely powerful, and his Impartial Guardian Emperor Equipment Set was strikingly astonishing as well. The parties did not require to heal or buff him with him as the Main Tank in the party, In fact, he would perform the same without getting healed at all.

The reason Fire Ice was invited to the party was because she had acquired a powerful Territory Skill, God’s Protection and this skill could go very well with Sister Windcloud Nine.

Qian’er was the same as Li Yi. They both possessed incredibly high DPS. It was naturally a no brainer to have them in the party when they wanted to challenge this incredibly overpowered Lostland Dungeon. How could they not need more firepower?

“Brother, What do you think? I have better equipment, stronger reinforcement, am slightly weaker than him in terms of operational skill, and I even have the God’s Blessing to regenerate my HP. Yet, I was overwhelmed by him. Why?”

Brother Windcloud Nine asked Li Yi when they entered the Instance Dungeon. He had been in a dilemma since. He wanted to win his dignity back but the outcome became worse the more he tried…

“Other than equipment and Territory Skill, skill timing is also an art on its own. Take your Holy Healing Skill for example; it’s a skill that you must not use unless you’ve no other choice. It’s the same as your Damage Reduction Skill as well. You must only use them only when you’re about to receive the most damage…”

Brother Windcloud Nine was utterly convinced when he heard Li Yi’s words. He looked extremely excited and he might just go after Tyrant Sword King the Fifth to avenge himself if not for challenging the Instance Dungeon right now.

“You must hold on no matter what and try your best to use your ultimate skill to turn the tide as a last resort. Since Paladin has no one-hit high damage skill, your best bet is to fight him in a match of endurance.”

“Hahaha. I’ve regained my confidence after listening to your words.” Brother Windcloud Nine laughed.

Then, Sister Windcloud Nine butted in. “Hubby. Although both of you have lost, I believe that you two will eventually win.”

Brother Windcloud Nine stared back. “Go stand in a corner!”

Sister Windcloud Nine ran to the side and became silent as she played with her shirt.

The three of them waited at the entrance of the Instance Dungeon for a while before Fire Ice and Qian’er rushed to the scene.

There was nothing but black and deserted land inside the Lostland Instance Dungeon. There was no flowers, trees, nor any sign of life. When players entered the place, countless Mudmon would crawl out from the ground and went on a frenzy towards the players.

Although the Mudmon had average ATK, this monster had a unique ability. It was able to fuse with the players. Once they got close to the players, it would stick on the players and keep fusing until they had completely engulfed the players.

“Once we engage in battle, there will be a hundred plus Mudmons crawling out from the ground. Brother Nine will need to start running while casting Holy Light Impact to attract all the aggro from the Mudmons. I’ll cast my Territory, Qian’er will catch up with Brother Nine with Flash and cast fire spells to attack the monsters.”

Li Yi briefed his strategy to the party before they commenced their battle.

Sister Windcloud Nine raised her hand. “What about me?”

“You’re not needed as of now, so you and Fire Ice can just enjoy the show from the side. Make sure to not attack at any cost. Uhm, you’re free to cast some healing spells if you’re bored.”

“Oh. Okay.”

“There will be a total of five waves of Mudmons. Once we’ve cleared all of them, the first boss, the Mudman will appear. Similarly to the Mudmons, the Mudman doesn’t possess high ATK. However, he’s skilled in spitting out mud which has the same effect as the Mudmon’s fusion. We’ll be wiped out if all of us are hit by it. The only way to avoid it is to run.

Sister Windcloud Nine raised her hand up again. “What happens if we don’t run beforehand?”

“Your death is certain.”

“How can we escape beforehand?”

“When the Mudman is about to spit out its mud, it’ll move his head to the back. You’ll be fine as long as you run to the side when you see it raising its head up.”

“Oh, okay!” Sister Windcloud Nine memorized it and ultimately nodded as enthusiastically as possible.

“Fire Ice, do you get it?”

Fire Ice blushed as she lowered her head and acknowledged it verbally.

“Are the others okay with this?”

“No problem!”

“Alright. Let’s buff up and commence the battle in 1 minute.”

The five of them prepared themselves and Brother Windcloud Nine was the first one to rush in. The sound of the monsters traveled into their ears as countless Mudmon crawled out from the ground.

Li Yi summoned his Panda Fighter. Qian’er summoned her “Panda Panpan” whereas Fire Ice summoned her “Panda Huanhuan”. The three great pandas lined up as they posed as a pheasant standing on one foot as they kept growling and headed towards the wave of monsters.

The beautiful Spin Kick, the mesmerizing Flying Kick, and the lethal Whirlwind Kick…

The performances of the three great pandas had shocked the Windcloud Nine couple.

Sister Windcloud Nine was shocked. “Are… Are the powerful mercenaries Lil Jiao spoke of?”

“That’s amazing. I better get one of these for myself.”

Brother Windcloud Nine laughed happily as he cast Holy Light Impact and attracted all the aggro from the Mudmons.

Li Yi’s Territory Barrier started spreading out and the Mudmon’s SPD was reduced greatly as they basked under the golden light barrier. The monsters moved at such a slow speed that it was child’s play to evade away from them.

“Dear, dear…”

Sister Windcloud Nine screamed out of the blue as she rushed towards Brother Windcloud Nine who was surrounded by Mudmon.

“Thud thud thud thud thud…”

Some twenty Mudmon charged towards Sister Windcloud Nine and engulfed her in an instant…

Sister Windcloud Nine had perished the instant the battle started.

“What happened to you?”

“There was a worm underneath my leg… It’s drilled in, it’s drilled in…”

Sister Windcloud Nine laid on the ground as she stuttered words that none could comprehend.

Li Yi looked on the ground and saw a Sandworm squirming endlessly. He stepped onto it and killed it in an instant.

‘Are you serious? She’s afraid of a worm that’s able to contain at most a drop of blood?’

Li Yi was incredibly annoyed…

Brother Windcloud Nine felt awkward as he tried to explain it to the rest. “My wife has been bitten by a bug when she was still young. She is rather… Traumatized…”

“Just let her lay down for now. We don’t need her in this match anyway.”

“Alright. Let’s continue with our attacks!”

Li Yi unleashed his Territory as he continued to hold back the Mudmon’s SPD. Qian’er rushed in and started clearing up the monsters with the three Pandas.

“Honey, buckle up…”

“Dark Wing, go for it…”

“Qian’er, do your best…”

“Fire Ice, you can do it…”

Sister Windcloud Nine did not stop contributing and cheered endlessly as she laid on the ground.

She was the only one who knew why she screamed loudly out of the blue.

It was not because of any bug. It was because she heard Brother Windcloud Nine harrumph loudly.

The harrumph did not come from within the game but in reality!
