Chapter 1

Feng Bujue didn't linger in the initial building because the system prompt at the start of the script had clearly stated that, although there would be a plot synopsis, there would be "no side quests, hidden missions, or special worldviews." Therefore, he didn't need to do any meticulous reconnaissance.

Considering that he was a seeded player burdened with three kill points, and likely to become a target coveted by other players, Brother Jue had decided to keep a low profile… As long as he wasn't judged to be playing passively, he would avoid conflicts and conserve his strength as much as possible.

After all… he had another mission to fulfill.

"The more I think about it, the more ominous it feels…" Feng Bujue muttered to himself as he walked out of the building. "The monsters roaming this city… compared to the last time I was here, the quantity and quality have probably increased significantly… That's already bad enough. The key is that the script synopsis mentioned the Four Pillars of God. This is a super terrible situation…"

His worries were not without reason, because in the Toy War arc, the "Prophet" had already pointed out Feng Bujue's role in helping Billy and the others escape from prison. This meant… that this matter was no longer a secret.

What Feng Bujue couldn't understand was… when he helped Billy, Alden, and Rabbit (the Puppet, the Monster, and the Rabbit) escape, he had clearly silenced the jailer, Faster. Logically speaking… the news shouldn't have leaked.

But now that it had leaked, he had to consider his position…

First, there was the Time Lord. Brother Jue had indeed helped this Four Pillars of God (come to think of it, the Time Lord actually saved Feng Bujue and the others at the time), allowing him to successfully capture Samodir.

However, Feng Bujue later double-crossed him and repaid kindness with enmity by releasing the three prisoners the Time Lord had imprisoned, and he even killed the jailer.

Comparing these two matters, the merits probably didn't outweigh the demerits…

Secondly, there was the Court of Truth… Feng Bujue believed that he would definitely be unwelcome in a place where "spreading chaos" was a crime punishable by imprisonment. If he were a creature of this dimension, he would probably have been arrested and sentenced to three or five thousand years…

Therefore, his reputation in the Court of Truth was undoubtedly one of innate hatred, with no possibility of reversal.

As for the remaining two forces, their names alone suggested they were evil. Of course, Brother Jue didn't mind this. He was also regarded as a great demon by other players, so joining the evil side wouldn't feel out of place. It was just… it seemed difficult.

Take the Lord of All Demons' faction, for example. Although Brother Jue had never met the Lord of All Demons himself, he had experienced the behavior of his subordinates quite a bit… Basically, the creatures of the Chaotic Scorched Earth were most proficient in the language of "violence." Even if you wanted to communicate with them properly, it was useless. No matter what you said as an opening (such as hello~), their response would most likely be a roar, followed by them shouting their name in the third person, and then charging to attack you (Hulk! Smash!).

Therefore, Feng Bujue didn't have many choices. If he wanted to use NPC monster forces to help him in this script, he could only try to deal with the people of the Kingdom of the Dead.

Although Brother Jue wasn't very familiar with this force, at least there were no old grudges or recent animosities, and there was a possibility of negotiation…

"Whoa… it's really spectacular…" Feng Bujue quickly reached the entrance of the building and saw the scene outside.

The city's buildings, public facilities, including the cars on the roadside, were almost entirely covered by a layer of something that resembled flesh. Huge breaks and collapsed slopes were visible everywhere on the road. In some places, meat thorns as thick as pythons grew, while in others, obsidian crystals like small hills rose up.

Compared to inside the building, the smell outside was more layered… To put it this way, the interior of the building contained a concentrated, uniform, and heavy stench. But outside, there were multiple, rich, and complex scents. You could stand at an intersection, facing different directions, and smell several different odors… sulfur, marsh gas, methane, blood, feces, etc…

"Heh… I suppose at low levels, just being in such an environment would cause survival points to drain away…" Feng Bujue muttered, "Ah… I kind of miss the gas mask."

However, since he was outdoors, the concentration of odors would definitely be better than indoors. At least Feng Bujue no longer had to constantly cover his nose with his hand.

"Hmm… where should I go…" Feng Bujue looked around, pondering. Suddenly…

[In the bewitching city, deadly battles cannot be avoided.]

[The low moans of the fiends reveal murderous intent that cannot be concealed.]

Two lines of Hokkien narration suddenly cut in, ringing in Brother Jue's ears.

Not only him, but every viewer who was paying attention to Feng Bujue heard it as well.

That's right… the commentary for this finals match was provided by the system's own Pili-style narration. Corresponding narration would sound wherever a battle occurred, and viewers watching the match could also see subtitles…

"Huh?" Feng Bujue was stunned for a second. "So you can do this even if you're not in a Pili world?" After his duel with Crazy Trace Sword Shadow, he had never encountered a Pili world script, nor had he heard this kind of commentary in other scripts. He didn't expect to hear it here again.

"Hmm… since the narration said that, then the matter is already 'in progress,' right?" Feng Bujue reacted quickly and immediately became vigilant.

Indeed, three monsters active nearby had now discovered Brother Jue's presence. And their position was on the roof of the building behind Feng Bujue…

The narration was the signal that a battle had been triggered. Although this wasn't a fight between players, the system would still broadcast it.

Therefore, before he disengaged from the battle, Brother Jue's actions would continue to be broadcast, complete with narration…

[In this instant, three beastly shadows move!]

"Rha…" With a strange roar, the three monsters leaped down in unison.

Feng Bujue sneered upon hearing the sound, stomped on the ground, and rushed upwards. He wasn't afraid of their advantageous high ground at all, nor did he think that these wild monsters roaming the map would be very strong. He only sought a quick resolution.

In mid-air, by the dim moonlight, Brother Jue could finally see what the three things looked like: the first one had a body like a child, with short limbs, but it had a pair of giant pincers growing from its ribs, the surfaces of the pincers reflecting the cold light of metal objects; the second one was shaped like a net, its body about the size of a door, with a hollow center, and part of its body was separated like a long saw, which should be its weapon; the third one was shaped like an insect, but its body was asymmetrical, with multiple legs on one side and wings on the other, and a long, narrow tentacle, like a knife or scythe, growing from the winged side.

"What are these monsters…" Feng Bujue thought to himself, "Their forms are too bizarre, I can't even tell where their weak points are…"

[Feng Bujue gathers three parts of his power and rises to meet the enemy.]

[The three monsters coordinate tacitly and attack together.]

[The scythe swiftly slashes at the left arm.]

[The saw forcefully strikes the shoulder.]

[The pincers directly target the eyes.]

As the narration reached this point, Brother Jue was already very close to the three monsters, and he didn't hold back, immediately unleashing a skill.

[Name: Evil King Flame Kill – Purgatory Scorch]

[Skill Card Attribute: Active Skill, Permanently Mastered]

[Skill Category: Spiritual Art]

[Effect: Unleashes a flurry of punches covered in flames (Cooldown time: five minutes)]

[Consumption: Stamina 200, Spiritual Power 50]

[Learning Conditions: C in Fighting Specialization, C in Spiritual Art Specialization]

[Remarks: One of the Evil King Flame Kill Fist's ultimate techniques.]

This skill didn't have a long cooldown time, and its consumption was very economical. In terms of power, although it was still not as good as the Southern Dipper Flying Dragon Fist, it could directly hit spiritual bodies. As a very cost-effective skill, it had been found by Feng Bujue in a surprise box.

[A moment of silence, the prelude to a rainstorm. A sudden shout, splitting open the fight!]

[Hyaaa!]

[Feng Bujue unifies his qi and movements, unleashing both fists, instantly transforming into a sky full of punches.]

[The fists burn with fire; the fire relies on spirit.]

[Although the three monsters are numerous, they seem meaningless in the face of overwhelming power.]

Hearing these words, Feng Bujue also felt more confident. At this moment, his fist flames happened to hit all three monsters in front of him.

[However! A trapped beast still fights, how can it accept defeat?]

"Crap!" Feng Bujue immediately felt like he was being toyed with by the narration. His nerves, which had just relaxed a little, tensed up again.

The three monsters were indeed not killed by a single skill. They were only injured and stalled, and they let out several miserable howls. Then, like dogs jumping over a wall in desperation, they pounced again, and their pincers and claws were all covered with a layer of strange-colored energy, increasing their range.

[A desperate pounce, erupting in an instant, at this critical moment! Feng Bujue suddenly discerns a chance to win. His figure swiftly turns, his feet step lightly, and he flies out to the side.]

[In a flash, he proudly inhales, fiercely channeling eight parts of his power, triggering the ultimate technique!]

"I'm just using Moon Step to pop out horizontally and then unleash a Tempest Kick…" Brother Jue muttered silently in his heart, "Do you have to say it so sharply… it's like I unleashed some earth-shattering technique…"

[But behold, a majestic blue light roars out, causing those who see it to change color!]

This time, the three monsters, which had been beaten into a near-death berserk state by the previous Evil King Flame Kill – Purgatory Scorch, were finished.

[The battle ends in an instant. After two moves from Feng Bujue, the three fiends fall one after another.] About five seconds after this narration, the system's broadcast switched to another place, because this place had disengaged from the battle state.

"Heh… hehe…" Feng Bujue chuckled dryly after landing. "Hey hey… with this kind of style… even a children's fight can be described like a Mount Hua Sword Tournament… a kid pulling another kid can also be described as 'with a move of his palm, a gust of wind rises, and the hidden force is endless' or something like that…"
