As the voice echoed.
Almost everyone turned their puzzled gazes towards the Gate of Sealing, the source of the voice.
When they saw who it was, the scene fell into silence.
Immediately after, a tide of murmurs surged.
"It's the head priest of the First Kill team, Mortal World!"
"I remember he was the first to enter the Gate of Sealing. How is he unharmed?"
"Is this gold-level Gate of Sealing a fake? Are there really no monsters inside?"
Everyone was surprised and confused by Jiang Chen's appearance.
"So many guilds targeted their First Kill team. It feels like they shouldn't have come out."
"Yeah, they deliberately used items to close the Gate of Sealing earlier, just to trap the First Kill team inside."
"There's nothing they could do. I heard many guilds invited the First Kill team to join them, but they were all rejected. I figured something like this would happen."
"If they can't have them, they'll destroy them?"
Some players expressed concern for the current plight of the First Kill team.
Below the altar.
In the closest position.
Both the Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama and the Crown Prince's men stared intently at the figure emerging from the Gate of Sealing.
Especially Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama, who, although he had speculated that the First Kill team might be fine, was still somewhat shocked to see Jiang Chen's figure.
After all, this was a gold-level Gate of Sealing. Did something really change inside?
Finally, with a sinister expression, Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama stared at Jiang Chen and slowly said, "Mortal World, I didn't expect you to come out alive. Where's your team's knight?"
"She's inside the Gate of Sealing. Why don't you go in and take a look?"
As Jiang Chen spoke, he even stepped aside, moving to the edge of the altar.
And at this moment, he stood right in front of Moonlit Dance!
At the same time, he sent a message to Moonlit Dance.
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
[Mortal World: Stealth into the Gate of Sealing. Things will get dangerous out here soon.]
Moonlit Dance, who had been somewhat despairing, felt a glimmer of hope for survival when she saw Jiang Chen emerge from the Gate of Sealing.
Now, seeing him standing directly in front of her, she felt an inexplicable sense of security.
She seemed to understand why Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao were never afraid, no matter what happened.
Because this man in front of her always had an unruffled expression, giving an indescribable sense of safety!
Especially after receiving Jiang Chen's message, Moonlit Dance's sense of danger vanished completely.
She even felt a bit dizzy and inexplicably sent a message back:
[Moonlit Dance: Why are you protecting me...]
Jiang Chen: ???
[Mortal World: What are you talking about? They're not after you. When I start fighting them, you might die without knowing how. Don't blame me for it.]
[Moonlit Dance: I understand... Be careful.]
Then.
Moonlit Dance quietly stealthed back into the Gate of Sealing.
At this moment.
Both Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama and the Crown Prince's men focused their attention on Jiang Chen.
Especially his move to step aside, inviting them to enter the Gate of Sealing.
It looked like a trap.
After a brief silence of two seconds.
"No need to go in. Why don't you call out that knight and summoner? We can let you go."
Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama, with a cunning look, slowly said, "After all, you're just a priest. You don't have to die."
"They're my teammates. Do you think I'd let them come out to die? Unless..."
Jiang Chen paused, as if in thought.
Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama, with a curious expression, asked, "Unless what?"
Jiang Chen smiled warmly, "Unless your entire guild kneels and calls me grandpa."
Jiang Chen immediately regretted saying that. Why did he have to be so cheeky?
If they really knelt, would he have to call the two girls out?
What a miscalculation!
At the same time, his words caused many people's hearts to skip a beat.
Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama's face darkened, "Are you joking?"
"You started the joke."
Jiang Chen pursed his lips.
"Looks like you're courting death!"
Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama's face twisted in anger, and he raised his hand, signaling his men to attack.
"Wait!"
Jiang Chen shouted.
"Hmm? Scared? If you're scared, have the other two in your team come out, especially that knight!"
Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama lowered his hand.
In his view, the key to the First Kill team was the National Server's Number One Knight.
As long as she was taken down, the First Kill team would no longer be a threat.
So, he hoped to use Jiang Chen to lure her out.
But Jiang Chen just glanced at him as if he were an idiot.
Then he looked towards the distant crowd.
"With so many 'Demon Suppression Shards' used, it can't be just one or two guilds wanting us dead, right? If you want to fight, come on. I'll take you all on!"
Jiang Chen's clear voice echoed in the scene.
Although his expression was calm.
In everyone's eyes, it conveyed one word: bold!
"Is he that arrogant? My God!"
"That's too bold!"
"Is he challenging all the guilds that set him up?"
Everyone was stunned, and some onlookers even felt their blood boiling.
Regardless of anything else, just this courage was beyond what ordinary people could muster.
Guilds like "Kingdom of Heaven," "Immortal Legend," and "Supreme Alliance" had all used Demon Suppression Shards!
At this moment, the leaders of these guilds all had darkened expressions.
"Blade-Raising Brother, not taking action yet?"
The speaker was Qi Sha, the vice president of the Immortal Legend guild.
Jiang Chen also glanced at him and remembered him.
However, most other guilds remained cautious, and no one else jumped out.
"A bunch of old foxes. Do they think they can get away unscathed by hiding? I'll drag them out one by one!"
Jiang Chen thought to himself.
"Focus fire and send him back to the respawn point!"
Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama had lost hope and immediately raised his hand, giving the order.
Instantly!
The dozen or so mages in front of the altar all cast Fireball spells at Jiang Chen.
Compared to the area damage of Ice Lance, Fireball was single-target but dealt higher damage.
Under the concentrated fire of a dozen mages, no one could survive.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
...
Over a dozen fireballs landed on Jiang Chen within two seconds.
There was a series of intense explosive sounds, like firecrackers.
-120
-125
-140
...
A string of damage numbers floated above Jiang Chen's head.
Almost everyone thought Jiang Chen was about to fall.
Some even began to feel regret.
However.
When the sparks from the Fireball spells dissipated.
Everyone was shocked to find that Jiang Chen's health remained at 50%, as if locked in place!
"What's going on?"
"Is there a bug in my eyes? Why isn't his health bar moving?"
"Health lock cheat?"
...
While the distant players were still in disbelief.
"My turn."
Jiang Chen calmly took a step forward.
Immediately.
Everyone saw a hexagram magic array emitting a dazzling glow appear.
The light looked incredibly pure and healing.
