Chapter 491: Chapter 455: What Rank in the World?

"Long Yu is dead."

Wu Li’s voice transmitted from the communicator, causing many on the battlefield to be stunned.

Long Yu’s communicator was connected on a single channel with only six people, three of whom were squad leaders of the White Reaper and the other three were Elders of the Longhua Association; all six heard what Wu Li had said.

"Did he succeed?"

Lv Jin gasped in a low voice, unable to contain his excitement.

Qin Zhengming’s expression was complex, filled with surprise, relief, emotion, and unwillingness.

"The Dragon King is dead?"

He was not particularly loyal to Long Yu, but he had deep feelings for the Longhua Association. He knew with Long Yu’s death, the Longhua Association was essentially finished. Experiencing the death of its highest leaders twice in a short period greatly endangered any organization.

"Commander?"

"Who are you?"

"Nonsense!"

"Seeking death!"

Apart from Qin Zhengming, the reactions of the other five were similar—they either did not believe or did not want to believe that something had happened to Long Yu.

Wu Li did not respond to these people; instead, he took out his own communicator and informed Lin Yun.

"Long Yu is dead!"

"He actually did it!"

Covered in dust and looking disheveled, Lin Yun was exhilarated and did not doubt Wu Li’s words at all, "Notify the brothers, Long Yu is dead, the Longhua Association is finished!"

"Brothers, Long Yu is dead!"

"The Longhua Association is finished!"

The news spread rapidly; everyone present from Zhiqing Hall knew, and Lin Yun even ordered everyone to shout loudly towards the opposing side so that both the Longhua Association and the White Reaper’s people could hear the news.

"The Dragon King is dead? Really or not?"

"The commander died? Impossible."

"Don’t listen to their nonsense, they can’t hold on much longer, brothers charge with me!"

"Bullshit, how could the Dragon King be dead? Attack!"

People from the Longhua Association and the White Reaper were uneasy and doubtful, but their lower-level leaders chose to first calm the hearts of their people and then launch a strong attack.

At this moment, the people of Zhiqing Hall were at their last gasp. Upon hearing the news of Long Yu’s death, they could barely muster some energy. If the strong assault from the Longhua Association and the White Reaper continued for a while, Zhiqing Hall would likely be defeated.

"You can move now, tell everyone, we have killed Long Yu, now is the time to earn merits, kill one of the opponents and we reward ten thousand US dollars!"

Lin Yun put down his phone and shouted to those around him, "Reinforcements are arriving soon, tell the brothers to hold on a bit longer!"

Indeed, Lin Yun had prepared reinforcements, over a thousand people. They gradually gathered here after the battle had started, but Lin Yun did not have these people rush in immediately as they were a motley crew. They could fight when the situation was favorable, but could easily collapse and would disrupt their own formation and morale if the wind turned.

It was only now that Wu Li had killed Long Yu that Lin Yun played his final move.

"Charge!"

"Kill!"

"Long Yu is dead! The Longhua Association is finished!"

Thousands of people charged from all directions into the forest, loudly chanting the slogan ’Long Yu is dead’.

For these people, they were either looking for a bargain or eager to achieve a feat, since the "main force" had already killed Long Yu. What difficulties could the remaining battles pose? Moreover, the bounty offered by Lin Yun was also very enticing; thus, the momentum of this team of thousands was like a rainbow!

The members of the Longhua Association and the White Reaper were completely bewildered for a moment, not expecting Zhiqing Hall to summon such a substantial reinforcement. Moreover, no news of Long Yu had been received by the leaders until now, which inevitably led to suspicions: Could it be that Long Yu had really died?

Whether in ancient wars or modern ones, morale always determines the outcome when there’s no significant difference in the equipment between both sides! At this moment, as morale shifted from one side to the other, two elders of the Longhua Association, having failed to contact Long Yu, finally could not bear the immense pressure anymore and were the first to call for a retreat.

As these individuals began to retreat, it triggered a domino effect, with more and more people starting to retreat.

"Fuck! A bunch of useless trash!"

"Don’t retreat!"

"You’re deserters!"

"I’m going to kill you!"

Several squad leaders of the White Reaper were exceptionally angry about this. Their people had higher quality and better mentalities, which initially might have allowed for a fight, but the continuous retreat of the Longhua Association’s members ended up disorganizing the White Reaper’s formation, forcing them to retreat unwillingly.

The retreat was now irreversible, and a chase began.

In the jungle, Wu Li leaned against a tree and watched the figures fleeing continuously nearby.

At this moment, his physical strength had almost run out, making it impossible for him to participate in the battle any further, especially since Zhiqing Hall seemed to be in an excellent position and no longer needed his help.

[Master-level Task: Eliminate the Aftermath (Longhua Association)]

[Task Objectives:

1. Kill at least five senior leaders of the Longhua Association

Completion 1/5

2. Kill Long Yu, the president of the Longhua Association, with a required Contribution of at least 80%

Contribution: 83%

3. The number of official members of the Longhua Association to be less than 100

Current official member count: 3254]

This was the current task list for Wu Li. He had killed a senior leader of the Longhua Association and had also killed Long Yu, achieving a contribution of 83% and meeting the system’s standard.

Although Wu Li had killed Long Yu in a one-on-one fight, he did not receive a 100% contribution. Clearly, in the system’s judgment, the difficulty of killing Long Yu was not merely reflected in his personal strength, but also in his identity. Without Lin Yun’s strategy and Zhiqing Hall’s coordination tonight, Wu Li would not have had the opportunity to target Long Yu on his own.

Now that Long Yu was dead, it was only a matter of time before the ultimate objective was reached, and the Longhua Association was thoroughly eradicated.

After resting in the same spot for a few minutes, Wu Li regained some strength. He walked over to Long Yu’s body, crouched down, and looked at this strongest opponent he had encountered so far, who was also the only Martial Arts Grandmaster, feeling slightly regretful.

In this era, Martial Arts Grandmasters were practically as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns; when one died, they could not be replaced.

Wu Li extended his hand, closed Long Yu’s eyes, then used the System Detection to check his own Divine Value, Power Value, and Body Value:

[Divine: 159 (Spirit)

Power: 127 (Innate)

Body: 110 (Gang Body)]

After the life-and-death fight with Long Yu, Wu Li’s Divine Value had increased by 12 points, and his Power Value by 7 points, which was a substantial gain. It is essential to note that at Wu Li’s current realm, every single point of improvement is incredibly challenging, and consuming over a dozen Master-level Experience Cards along with a dozen S-class Virtual Battle Cards might not achieve the same increase as this evening did.

Thus, for a Martial Artist, fighting to the death against a peer at the same level is the quickest way to improve.

Regrettably, even looking around the world now, it would be hard for Wu Li to find an opponent of comparable stature. While he possessed Virtual Battle Cards, which allowed continued fighting against ’Long Yu’ in a Virtual Reality, the cards could not perfectly simulate every aspect of the opponent’s strength and potential changes.

Moreover, even if the sensory experience in Virtual Reality is very realistic, it cannot compare to a genuine life-and-death struggle because Wu Li knows he cannot die in Virtual Reality, making it nearly impossible for his mind to enter the same state that teeters between life and death.

"I wonder how many Grandmaster-level experts are still out there around the world?"

Having officially broken through to Grandmaster level and after killing an opponent like Long Yu, Wu Li’s focus began to shift even higher.

On the last day of 2021, Wu Li couldn’t help but ponder:

With my current Kung Fu skills, where would I rank in the whole world?
