Chapter 523 Angel

The monster that looked strange and powerful was destroyed in an instant. Hank, the boy next to Wang Zhifan, suddenly widened his eyes in shock and stared blankly at the place where the monster disappeared on the lake.

Wang Zhifan took the golden crown that Bingshou had taken back in his hand and checked the description text that appeared on it.

[The Shining Crown of the Ancient King (Excellent)]

[This is a priceless ancient crown, made of extremely rare astral gold. It is not only strong and light, but also always emits a luxurious light that makes people addicted. It is a rare treasure in the world.

In addition to its own monetary value, it is said that it has other functions. The royal family of a certain country has been looking for it. ]

"Excellent-level items, but there is no clear functional attribute marked. What's going on?"

Holding the glowing golden crown in his hand, Wang Zhifan looked left and right, and he was a little confused at the moment.

He had seen many items of the Excellence level or even higher, but this was the first time he had seen something like this one that had almost no practical use except for being able to glow and sell for money. Perhaps the key to the value of this crown was that the royal family of a certain country was looking for it as written on the introduction.

Without much hesitation, he handed it to the teenager Hank standing beside him, indicating that he could give it to him.

Hank took it with trembling hands, his face full of disbelief, and looked up at him and said:

"Give me this? It looks too expensive..."

"It's called the Shining Crown, it's really valuable, and there's a royal family of a country looking for it. If you sell it to the royal family, the money for your brother and sister's medical treatment will definitely be enough."

Wang Zhifan then explained to Hank that this thing could solve his dilemma.

"Are you... urging me to leave?"

Hank listened, holding the glowing crown in both hands, and his expression looked a little embarrassed.

"What? You have achieved your goal. Wouldn't it be better to go back early so that you can raise money for your brother and sister's medical treatment?"

Wang Zhifan did not hide his intentions. He really felt that it was not easy to play with a kid around.

"But... the return portal will not open until tomorrow at the earliest. It's useless for me to go back so soon."

Hank responded immediately.

"That's something you need to consider. It has nothing to do with me! If you insist on following me, I can't guarantee your safety later!"

Seeing that he failed to drive him away, Wang Zhifan spoke seriously to let the native boy know the seriousness of the matter.

It can't be blamed on him for turning his face and not recognizing people. It's really not a pleasant experience to be a nanny for a stranger who has no fighting power.

"Please rest assured! I can take care of myself! I have wanted to explore this place since I was a child. It's impossible for me to go back so soon!"

The boy still insisted on following him, and his expression seemed a little stubborn.

"It's up to you... Your greed may hurt you."

Wang Zhifan left the last sentence and turned to walk towards the deep passage that appeared around the underground lake.

He didn't walk very fast, but he was still not as fast as the boy, especially after entering the passage. The boy slowed down his pace because of fear, and was soon left behind by him.

When he easily crossed the more than 20-meter-wide pit in the passage, the boy could only stay where he was and could not continue to follow.

"Sure enough, the further you go, the more difficult it is. People who are not agile enough or can't fly can't get to the back at all."

Walking forward alone, he felt much more relaxed physically and mentally. Wang Zhifan crossed the deep pit and soon came out of the passage and came to a not very wide stone chamber. There was nothing else in the stone chamber except a tall two-horned monster statue.

He looked at the statue and found that it was indeed made of some kind of stone, not a monster in disguise, but there was something else attached to the stone.

Sure enough, the next second, he heard a low voice with a bewitching meaning in his ears:

"Worship Purgatory..."

"Enter Purgatory..."

"Become Purgatory..."

These voices circulated and lingered in his ears like the buzzing of mosquitoes, as if they were going to exert some profound spiritual influence on him, but unfortunately, Wang Zhifan only felt it was very noisy after listening for a few seconds.

So he immediately drew his sword and prepared to end this stone statue that could only speak nonsense with one sword.

However, a dramatic scene appeared. Just after he drew his sword, the stone wall on one side of the stone room automatically opened upwards, revealing a wider palace.

In the palace, two rows of figures can be seen standing on both sides in an orderly manner, with an empty throne in the middle.

Wang Zhifan observed and stepped into it. The two rows of figures suddenly turned their heads to look at him, and the scene was quite scary.

It can be seen that these figures are different from the corpse ghosts seen before. They are more like a group of "living people". There is no trace of corruption on their bodies. It is easy to distinguish their appearance and adventurer profession, except that their expressions are fanatical and ferocious, as if they have all fallen into madness.

"Worship Purgatory! Enter Purgatory! Become Purgatory!"

The many figures lined up in two rows then shouted loudly at Wang Zhifan who came in, with hatred and anger in their eyes, as if some of Wang Zhifan's actions did not satisfy them.

"What a ghost... do you think I will join you?"

Wang Zhifan immediately showed disdain in his eyes, saw through the intentions of these guys, and then slashed with a ruthless knife!

In an instant, the crescent-shaped sword light, which was more than ten meters long, suddenly penetrated the two rows of fanatical fallen adventurers in front of them, destroying them all. It was not until it reached half a meter in front of the throne that the remaining power dissipated sharply.

His sword was so fast and powerful that it seemed like these fallen adventurers were just decorations.

In fact, any experienced professional here can see that all fallen professionals maintain their peak combat effectiveness and can launch a violent and orderly group offensive against the intruders.

Wang Zhifan then stepped forward to the throne that blocked the aftermath of his sword light, and confirmed that this thing was the so-called reward, and the grade was not low.

[Throne of Purgatory (Epic)]

[King of Purgatory: Sitting on this throne, you can summon a purgatory army of up to one million individuals. The targets killed by your purgatory army will also be automatically resurrected to join and become a member of the army. 】

[The Majesty of the King: You can only control the Purgatory Army by sitting on the throne, otherwise the Purgatory Army will fall into a state of disorder and chaos. 】

[The king will not fall easily: Before your army is annihilated, as long as you sit on the throne, you can automatically resist damage, and the damage you suffer will be shared equally by the entire army. 】

"A chair that can summon an army of millions? Will the target you kill automatically join the army? If you sit on the chair and the army doesn't kill you, you won't die? With this thing, wouldn't you be invincible?"

After reading the description of the throne, Wang Zhifan couldn't help but sigh that he had encountered a ruthless person. Just by reading the description, you can know how powerful it is. An army of millions is no joke.

"But there seems to be some hidden danger inside... Can this army be dispersed and disappeared after it is summoned? Only by sitting on the throne can you control the army. Doesn't it mean that once you sit on it, you won't dare to come down?"

After thinking about it for a moment, he discovered that there were a lot of problems with this throne. It didn't look like it was to help the owner conquer the world, but more like it was looking for a commander for the purgatory army to promote it.

"It doesn't matter, just be careful with it and accept it first."

Without much hesitation, Wang Zhifan lifted the throne and transferred it into the space ring.

He then walked to a side door of the palace and went to the next treasure storage place.

In this way, relying on his strong overall strength, he swept through the maze at an astonishing speed, eliminated the remaining monsters, and captured all the treasures they guarded.

During this period, he obtained many excellent-level items, but never encountered any epic-level ones again, until he reached the very depths of the maze and came to a blazing blue fire.

The fire is five meters high and eight meters in diameter, but you won't feel hot when you get close to it. Instead, it is slightly cold, which is more in line with the blue tone it presents.

In the center of the blue flames, you can see a beautiful girl kneeling in front of an ornate sword stuck in the ground, silently closing her eyes and praying.

The girl has brilliant long golden hair, snow-white skin and an impeccably delicate face. There are also broad white wings on her back. Her image is no different from the legendary angel.

The most important thing is that it can be easily seen that she is alive and in peak condition, with a very powerful aura exuding from her body.

As Wang Zhifan's footsteps approached, this being who looked like an angel slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of silver eyes without any emotion.

But what surprised Wang Zhifan was that the owner of the lifeless silver eyes not only did not attack, but also told him to return and leave.

"Go back, adventurer! There is no treasure you crave here! This useless battle will only add another cold corpse here!"

Wang Zhifan listened silently, his eyes swept across the cold blue flames and the angel standing up slowly in the flames, and asked with some confusion:

"If there is no treasure, why are you here to challenge? And the cold corpse you mentioned, why don't I see any traces of it?"

His question immediately made the surrounding air stagnant for a moment, and then the angel in the blue fire drew out the long sword in front of him and responded:

"Whether you believe it or not, there is no treasure... As for the body, because you are the first person to arrive here in two hundred years, I haven't had time to make one yet."

After the angel in the blue fire finished speaking, he raised the gorgeous long sword in his hand and pointed it at Wang Zhifan not far away in front of him. The warning was extremely obvious.

Facing this BOSS, whom he saw for the first time since entering the maze, Wang Zhifan's fighting spirit was aroused.

He felt that the opponent was very powerful, much stronger than all the targets he had fought in this maze combined, and there was no suspected reward around him, but he just wanted to give it a try.

"Thank you for the reminder...but I think we will have a battle today!"

After saying that, he also drew his sword out of its sheath, bursting out with all his strength and violently colliding with the angel holding the sword!

Boom!

A terrifying shock wave was generated at the center of the confrontation between the two, sweeping towards the surrounding darkness and madness.

For the first time, Wang Zhifan discovered that the weapon struck by his Qingdi Sword was not broken. The long sword supported the strong blow of the Qingdi Sword, and the angelic power bathed in the blue fire was also extremely powerful. It actually fought against him. During the fight, he did not fall behind at all, and there was even a faint tendency to counterattack.

"What a strong opponent... his basic attributes are terrifyingly high... let's see how his combat skills are!"

He was not surprised but happy to meet his match. He used the exquisite sword skills of the Great Dream Sword Sutra and the superb body skills of the Wind and Thunder Stepping Heaven Art to fight fiercely with the angel in front of him. The fighting figures of the two appeared in more than a hundred positions almost instantly, and ordinary people could not even watch.

This enthusiasm for fighting was because he really hadn't met a decent opponent for a long time. In the past, for a long time, the enemies he met had only two outcomes: being killed instantly or crushed by him. The situation of equal strength rarely appeared.

For example, if the guardian in the Dead Soul Land copy did not have the protection of the underworld, he could not fight with him for so long, and was not a qualified opponent in the true sense.

But the existence of the suspected angel in front of him was different. She actually kept up with Wang Zhifan's attack rhythm. Whether it was strength, speed or skills, she was impeccable. In addition, the long sword in her hand was not much inferior to the Green Emperor Sword, which was enough to give Wang Zhifan substantial pressure.

Wang Zhifan became more and more courageous in the face of a strong enemy. At first, he only competed with the opponent in basic ability. The two sides fought back and forth with swords, and the powerful and simple attacks formed a terrifying shock wave, which gradually changed the surrounding terrain.

Later, he gradually used his own unique skills, such as Dreaming into the World and Floating Life Like a Dream, and his clones filled the opponent's vision throughout the whole process.

Angel was a little slow at this stage, probably because she was not familiar with such attack methods, and was brought into her own advantageous range by Wang Zhifan.

However, she quickly found a way to deal with it, bursting out all her strength and splitting the dream world with a sword, and the blue flame cleared all the clones, and even sang the great power with a horizontal sword to fight against Wang Zhifan's unique skills, causing the entire maze to vibrate violently.

The two sides fought for a full two hours before the result suddenly came out, because the angel who had fought so hard to this point took the initiative to admit defeat, and she didn't want to continue fighting.

"Human, our fight is meaningless. I admit that I have lost. Please stop."

At this moment, the dark blue flames around the angel have shrunk a lot compared to the initial ones. They can only cover her whole body and can no longer extend to the surrounding area. Perhaps this change is an important reason for her to admit defeat.

"You haven't lost yet. It can only be considered a draw at the moment."

Wang Zhifan paused his attack after hearing this. His endurance is very strong, and his current state is not much different from the beginning of the battle.

"But if you really want to end the battle, you must confess something, such as where the real reward is, what kind of existence you are, and why you appear in this place."

Wang Zhifan felt that this angel was full of strangeness. She was obviously a high-level existence with excellent equipment, but she stayed in this underground prison with no one. There must be a profound reason. (End of this chapter)
