Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1213: This Is The Martial God?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Bloody light filled the entire screen.

The Martial God’s eyes slowly closed in the background melody.

The bloody light that filled the sky was originally a close-up of his two eyeballs. At that moment, as his eyelids fell, the camera zoomed out and the bloody light gradually dissipated. However, there was still bloody smoke emitting from the Martial God’s eyes, like blood tears floating in the air.

The camera zoomed out.

The Martial God’s eyes were tightly shut. He was still sitting cross-legged opposite the chess table. He held the demon sword in his right hand and pressed it against the ground. Blood dripped down the demon sword’s blade, painting the entire demon sword blood red.

On the chess table, the black and white pieces were still in their final state. However, they were already covered in blood.

The old monk was still sitting cross-legged opposite him with his palms pressed together. However, his old head was lowered. The monastic robe and monk robes on his body were dyed red with blood. Obviously, he had passed away.

The entire scene fell silent. Only the red maple leaves were still falling slowly.

This silence lasted for a few seconds.

After that, a crisp “ding ding” broke the silence.

At first, it was a barely noticeable sound. However, a second sound soon sounded. This time, it was much louder. It seemed to be right next to his ear.

The Martial God’s body and the old monk’s body shook at the same time.

Nothing appeared on the old monk’s head because his three immortal souls and seven mortal forms had been destroyed by the demon sword. The blood of an eminent monk had given the demon sword the power to kill the ghostly soldiers.

On the other hand, the Martial God’s spirit fire appeared above his head. That was his three immortal souls and seven mortal forms.

The three immortal souls and seven mortal forms of the Martial God in his twilight years were no longer as strong as when he was young. He was a little like a candle in the wind, as if he would be hooked away in the next second.

However, at that moment, the Martial God suddenly opened his eyes!

The demon sword in his hand suddenly released a monstrous demonic aura. As the sword blade waved, it brought with it bright red and filthy black flames that filled the sky, slashing towards a certain place in the yard!

The sword did not cause any damage to the chess table even though it slashed across the table. Instead, it was like a flash of light, as though they were in a different time and space.

Demonic energy surged into the sky as two figures appeared in the yard.

One was black and the other was white. They were spitting out long tongues. They were handcuffed in their left hand and holding a mourning stick in their right.

The white tassel on the mourning stick swayed as it tried to hook the wandering soul. The bell at the top of the mourning stick once again let out a crisp sound.

In front of the two tall and sinister ghostly soldiers, the Martial God gradually adapted to the state of the two worlds. His right hand held the demon sword tightly.

After that, he made a “please” gesture with his hand.

…

After this opening move, he seamlessly entered the real battle scene in the game.

The old monk’s corpse, chess table, and other elements remained the same. However, the Black and White Impermanence were already there.

There were two extremely tall and imposing bosses with two long boss health bars above the screen.

The sudden battle caught Yan Qi off guard.

“Fu * k, it’s starting already?”

“Battling the Black and White Impermanence right from the start? That’s too exciting!”

Fortunately, Yan Qi had already held the controller in his hand.

After all, he had suffered many times in Repent and be Saved. He subconsciously became nervous and excited when playing such games. He did not dare to daydream.

Even so, these two bosses still gave him a huge pressure that he had never felt before.

He had already played the Black and White Impermanence in Repent and be Saved before. However, the Black and White Impermanence he met this time was obviously different from the one in Repent and be Saved.

In Repent and be Saved, the Black and White Impermanence was in a more crazed state. They had lost their sanity. They had completely forgotten their mission to guide souls. They were wandering aimlessly as the boss in the game.

The Black and White Impermanence in Repent and be Saved looked even scarier. Their ghostly uniforms were torn and tattered, and they were stained with blood. Their eyes were crazed, blood-red, and they could not communicate with anyone. All they could do was shout incoherently, and their attacking styles were even more crazed and chaotic.

The Black and White Impermanence in Eternal Reincarnation looked much more normal on the surface. Their uniforms were neat and tidy. One could even see the words ‘Money at first sight’ and ‘Peace in the world ‘written on their official caps. Their movements looked very rational. They did not have such a strong desire to attack as they did in Repent and be Saved.

Not only that, they had lines.

“A malicious spirit that captures one’s soul, a life that is unpredictable.”

“Insolent yin spirit! Surrender quickly, come back with us to judge your sin!”

“Resist us and we’ll send you to hell, never to be reborn!”

The sinister voice was even scarier than the Black and White Impermanence in Repent and be Saved.

After all, the Black and White Impermanence was considered a mid-stage boss in Repent and be Saved. Players would fight their way out of the mass grave. They would defeat the crazed townspeople in the initial town and step onto the Road to the Underworld. They would only meet the Black and White Impermanence after suffering countless times.

He was already mentally prepared when he saw it.

However, Eternal Reincarnation was different. They had to directly fight with two bosses from the beginning. What’s more, it looked like a boss at its peak. The pressure immediately came out!

Yan Qi was a little confused.

“How can I fight this? I’m only level one. I don’t have anything!”

At the very least, Repent and be Saved would only face a boss battle after leveling up, obtaining a weapon, and healing items. However, the protagonist had nothing on him now. How could he fight?

“Could it be that the protagonist of Eternal Reincarnation be far stronger than Repent and be Saved in terms of setting, so he arranged for a powerful enemy like the Black and White Impermanence from the beginning?”

“Yes, that makes sense. After all, the setting is Martial God. What’s more, he has a powerful demon sword. It shouldn’t be difficult to kill the Black and White Impermanence.”

“What’s more, I’m not a new gamer. I’ve already completed Repent and be Saved!”

At that thought, Yan Qi rushed forward confidently.

Less than a minute later, Yan Qi watched as the so-called Martial God was smashed onto the ground by the Black and White Martial God. The two mourning sticks smashed him to the ground until he could not get up. The iron chains passed through his collarbones and were locked by the Black and White Impermanence.

“…Sh * t, something’s not right, right?”

“These two bosses are ridiculously strong. Is this a plot kill?”

Yan Qi realized that things were very different from what he had expected.

He had originally thought that the Martial God with the demon sword should be very impressive. However, after charging forward, he realized that it was not the case at all!

The Black and White Impermanence’s stats seemed to be higher than Repent and be Saved’s. Its health was thicker and its damage was higher.

The AI seemed to have become smarter even though their desire to attack was no longer so strong. Instead, the difficulty of the 1V2 battle increased!

From a setting point of view, this made sense. After all, the Black and White Impermanence was now in a normal state of rationality. At its peak, it was understandable to adjust its stats higher.

However, the key was that how was this Martial God a Martial God? It would shatter with a single touch!

Yan Qi had originally thought that the damage of this demon sword would be very high. He had hacked at the Black and White Impermanence to lose health. However, he realized that the damage was not high at all!

He might have lost some health but he would probably need a lot of perseverance to kill the Black and White Impermanence.

What’s more, the margin of error in the battle was extremely low because there were no healing items. Once one of the Impermanence Warriors defeated him, the other Impermanence would definitely follow up with a continuous attack. This bit of health was not enough. It would be cleared to zero in minutes.

After being locked up, the protagonist was brought to the netherworld by the Black and White Impermanence.

“Hmm… it looks like it was indeed a plot kill. He deliberately arranged for characters that players could not defeat.”

“The real plot of the game should start from the Road to the Underworld.”

Compared to Repent and be Saved, Eternal Reincarnation skipped a portion of the game content. For example, the initial village, town, and gate started from the Road to the Underworld.

There were a large number of ghosts on the Road to the Underworld, who were led by the ghostly guards to the River of Three Crossings and the Bridge of Forgetfulness. The Black and White Impermanence left the protagonist there, handed him to the ghostly guards, and went to the rest of the world to collect the other ghosts.

On the other hand, the protagonist broke free from the shackles once again. Obviously, he wanted to kill the ghostly soldiers on the Road to the Underworld and continue advancing.

Compared to the scene in Repent and be Saved, the scene in Eternal Reincarnation was obviously closer to the norm in hell.

The ghosts were led to the netherworld by the ghostly soldiers. They were in an orderly manner. They were not like Repent and be Saved, which was filled with Road to the Underworld. They were not guided. The ghostly soldiers were not crazy either.

Yan Qi quickly shook off the frustration of the ‘plot kill’ from before. He held the demon sword and rushed towards a deviation in front of him.

He would probably be able to successfully deal with the first ordinary monster he met in the game, right?

However, half a minute later, Yan Qi fell into deep thought as he looked at the Martial God whose soul had scattered on the screen.

Something was amiss!

Production Team, are you sure this thing is the Martial God?
