"The guards of Night City, they have finally come."
Wang Ming looked back and saw a group of NPCs holding weapons.
Wang Ming knew why they had come here.
"You scoundrels of Daylight City, how dare you kill my personal guards and trespass on the obsidian mine! Today, none of you will leave here alive!"
The leader of the group of NPCs let out a loud shout and brandished his longsword.
A massive sword beam struck towards Hellhound and the members of the Gathering Righteousness Pavilion.
As the sword light fell, Cerberus let out a mournful howl and collapsed to the ground. At the same time, many members of the Gathering Righteousness Pavilion also died under the sword light.
"System notification: Your pet Hellhound has been defeated."
"Holy crap, he killed six with a single sword strike?"
Wang Ming stared in disbelief at the dissipating corpse of the six-headed hellhound.
The Hellhound is already level 29. Although it hasn't been equipped with any gear yet, its defense is over 2000 and its health is even higher.
Even so, it was still unable to withstand a single sword strike from this person.
"What's wrong with this NPC? Why is its attack power so strong?"
Wang Ming looked at this person.
This person was about the same age as Wang Ming, very young, with an unremarkable appearance, and seemed quite ordinary.
Yet this seemingly ordinary NPC strikes with surprising speed and precision.
The longsword in his hand was dripping with blood, which was so incongruous with the seemingly ordinary young man.
"Hmm, no, the color of this weapon is... multicolored?"
"Colorful, what grade of weapon is this?"
In the metaverse, the color of equipment varies depending on its star rating.
1-star equipment has a white appearance, 2-star equipment has a yellow appearance, 3-star equipment has a purple appearance, 4-star equipment has a red appearance, and 5-star equipment has a gold appearance.
Five-star gold is currently the highest star rating equipment color announced on the official website of Yuanyu.
"Even 5-star weapons are only gold, but this weapon is multicolored. Could it be that this weapon is even higher than 5-star?"
"Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle, Sixth Uncle, Eighth Uncle."
"Your subordinate is here."
"Each of you lead two squads and wipe out everyone here!"
After the young man finished speaking, he took out an old-fashioned oil lamp and lit it.
The lit ancient lamp detached from the young man's hand and hovered in the air.
"Yes, young master."
"Kill!" Upon receiving the order, the group led the NPCs to charge towards Wang Ming and his companions.
As the NPCs approached, Wang Ming quickly used his Insight skill to strike the leader one by one.

Description: Captain of the personal guard of the Lord of Night City, tasked with protecting the obsidian mine.
These NPCs, except for Luo Ba who is equivalent to a low-level boss, are all high-level. Among the NPC teams they lead, there are also a few elite-level members.
These people rushed over and attacked the players of Juyige without saying a word.
"Three Xuan-rank boss-level characters and one Di-rank boss-level character."
"Then how high must the level and attributes of this young master of Black Night City who is wielding a colorful longsword be?"
Wang Ming deduced the young man's identity from the NPCs' conversation, and now, looking at the attributes of this group of NPCs, he pondered to himself.
"Quickly, all those who are lying dead, return to town to revive. The rest of you, use town return scrolls to return to town."
"If you are killed by an NPC, you will be locked up in jail and cannot leave for 48 hours."
Juyi Changfeng had somehow revived and, seeing the NPC kill his guild member, immediately shouted.
At the same time, Juyi Changfeng also took out a return scroll and used it.
As a result, after Juyi Changfeng used it, the person was still in the same place.
"Damn, why isn't it working?"
"Sealed Boundary Ancient Lamp, what is the Sealed Boundary Ancient Lamp?"
Wang Ming ignored Juyi Changfeng and instead focused on everything that was happening before his eyes.
The corpses waiting to be resurrected in the Gathering Hall remained in their corpses, unable to leave.
All players killed by the NPCs have disappeared.
For players who survived and used the return scroll, although a star array flashed beneath their feet, they remained in the same spot, and the return scroll had no effect.
"The Ancient Lamp of Sealing Boundaries?" Wang Ming looked at the ancient lamp hanging on the top of the mine and immediately felt something was wrong. He also took out a scroll to return to the city.
"System notification: Your sin value is too high, you cannot use the return scroll." Upon hearing the system message, Wang Ming quickly took out the Cleansing Pill to eliminate his sin value.
"System notification: This area is affected by the Ancient Sealing Lamp, preventing you from returning to the city or logging off."
"Damn it, the return scroll is really not working. Even logging off doesn't work. These NPCs came prepared!"
"No, we can't just sit here and wait to die, we have to break out." Wang Ming moved quickly and rushed towards the mine entrance.
"That's fast."
Wang Ming's actions were seen by the young master in the distance, who exclaimed in surprise, then his face turned cold, "However, did I say you could leave!"
"Slay the Moon!"
The young master of Black Night City shouted and slashed his sword at Wang Ming.
A tangible sword shadow arrived in an instant, striking Wang Ming and knocking him back dozens of meters.
"System notification: You have been attacked by Night Star, the young master of Night City, with the Moon Slash attack. HP -".
"That damage, just one sword strike took away nearly 20,000 of my health!"
"No wonder he could kill six heads in an instant."
Wang Ming stared in horror at his suddenly vanished health bar.
"No, it's too far from the cave entrance. I'm afraid I'll be killed by this person before I even get out."
"But if we don't rush out, where else can we escape to?"
Wang Ming's mind raced as he observed the conditions inside the mine.
"Huh, the boss is still alive. Maybe I can..."
"Hmm? You're still alive? I underestimated you."
"In that case, I will meet you in person."
When the young master of Black Night City saw that his attack had failed to kill Wang Ming, a look of surprise flashed across his face. Then, he moved swiftly and rushed towards Wang Ming.
Wang Ming ignored the young master of Black Night City and charged straight at the boss.
"Charge punch!"
"A series of punches!"
"Piercing Fist!"
...
Wang Ming rushed to the boss's side and unleashed a full combo on it.
The boss was already low on health, and under Wang Ming's attacks, tens of thousands of damage numbers kept popping up above its head, until it was finally killed by Wang Ming.
"System notification: Congratulations on killing the level 35 Heavenly Rank boss Shadow Blood Demon Throat. You have gained experience, 98 gold coins, 33 silver coins, and merit points of +1000. You have also gained additional merit points of +2500."
"System notification: Your cultivation technique - Soul Devouring has been successfully activated, granting you 10 points of Strength, Agility, Intelligence, Spirit, and Stamina, and 10 free attribute points."
"System notification: Your cultivation technique, Soul Devouring, has been successfully activated. You have gained 2 points of enhancement in the Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water attributes, and 2 points of resistance in the Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water attributes."
"System notification: Congratulations, your level has increased to 35. You have gained 160 health points, 80 mana points, 5 free attribute points, and 3 soul power points."
With the death of Hellhound, Wang Ming gained all of the boss's experience points.
Just as Wang Ming had calculated, after defeating this boss, Wang Ming's level rose to 35.
Seeing the loot scattered all over the ground, Wang Ming had no interest in picking it up and rushed straight to the center of the mine.
"You scoundrel, stop right there!"
Upon seeing this, the young master of Black Night City's expression changed, and he brandished his longsword at Wang Ming.
Three sword shadows chased after Wang Ming.
"Faster, faster!" Wang Ming didn't dare look back and headed straight for the center of the mine.
1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, ...
Five seconds later, Wang Ming finally arrived at the center of the mine.
At this moment, a black portal appeared in the center of the mine, which was the teleportation gate leading to the second level of the mine!
"Pass it!"
Wang Ming rushed into the black portal and shouted.
The black portal shifted, and at the same time, three sword shadows flew into it.
With a loud "boom," a huge explosion occurred at the black portal, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Once the dust had settled, Wang Ming was no longer inside the doorway.
