Immortal? What the hell!
Xiao Jie saw the change in the name above Master Hongchen’s head, and his heart suddenly sank, exclaiming, "Shit."
All along, Xiao Jie played this game with the ultimate goal of becoming immortal, not only to resurrect Han Luo but also as a kind of obsession, a normal person’s obsession living in this bizarre modern world.
The uncertainties of life made Xiao Jie desperately seek a power that could change everything.
As long as you became an Immortal, you could transcend the mundane.
As long as you became an Immortal, you wouldn’t have to fear anyone’s threats.
As long as you became an Immortal, you could enjoy life, live forever, attain true freedom, and have no worries.
However, Xiao Jie didn’t have a clear concept of what an Immortal truly was or how powerful they were. After all, the Immortals in myths were ethereal beings. It’s precisely because no one knows how strong they are or the extent of their mysterious powers, that they arouse such longing and relentless pursuit.

Even though Xiao Jie had encountered Immortals several times in the game, speaking of their true strength, he was entirely clueless.
He only knew that these guys were undoubtedly the top-tier existences in the game.
At this moment, seeing Master Hongchen appear as an Immortal, Xiao Jie suddenly felt a hint of fear.
When such extraordinary beings, only existing in fantasies, become his enemies, the surprise and sense of unreality left Xiao Jie momentarily stunned on the spot.
Oh my god? This can’t be real.
But everything he saw before him told Xiao Jie that it was all indeed real.
Doomed, doomed, doomed! This was the only thought in Xiao Jie’s mind at the moment.
Although he didn’t know how strong the Immortal was, one thing was certain, it would be an unprecedentedly formidable enemy he had ever met.
Xiao Jie even suspected that the Immortal could wipe out his group with just a flick of the hand.
If Xiao Jie felt this way, the others would only be more terrified, especially the cannon fodder members who, except for a few ignorant fearless ones with no concept of the Immortal’s strength, exclaimed in panic, and those who reacted quickly turned their horses around and fled.
Master Hongchen didn’t stop them, letting them scatter in different directions.
Yet there were still those who stayed. It’s just a game; what’s the difference between gods and demons? The only distinction lies in the type of monsters. Haven’t gods been slain in other games? Some games even allow you to overthrow the Heavenly Court. A mere Nameless Immortal is nothing; maybe killing it would drop awesome equipment.
Besides, didn’t you see Feng didn’t run? With such an impressive team, they’ve even taken down World Bosses. A mere Immortal is definitely not a problem. Afterwards, when the battle’s over, even a piece of cloth from the Immortal would make them rich, let alone if they got something better.
As the saying goes, wealth moves the heart, there are indeed those unafraid of death, eager to give it a try.
Master Hongchen’s gaze was fixed on Xiao Jie, undistracted.
He paced forward slowly, saying, "Hidden Moon Following Wind, you once swore to help me become immortal. The hour has come, what are you waiting for? Why not quickly step forward and offer your Golden Core? Don’t think that having a large number of people allows you to offend an Immortal. To me, you mortals are like ants.
But you don’t have to die if you hand over Hidden Moon Following Wind. You can spare your lives, so why not flee for your lives?"
Xia Yi the Unrivaled immediately cursed, "To kill my brother, you’ll have to get past me first. So what if you’re an Immortal?" After saying this, he dismounted and stood with his sword ready.
I Want to Be Immortal also shouted, "Yeah, yeah, you’re an Immortal? Well, I’m a Divine too, who the hell’s afraid of whom?"
Then he dismounted as well, directly activating Giant Spirit Embodiment and Dharma Golden Body, transforming instantaneously into a four-meter-tall Golden Armored Giant, glowing brilliantly, looking far more impressive than Master Hongchen, who had no trace of spiritual light on him.
Although Ye Luo didn’t speak, he also dismounted and stood beside Xiao Jie with no intention of retreating.
Didara Bai Ze stood behind Xiao Jie, lagging a few steps but showing no intention to flee.
Even the cannon fodder group members dismounted one after another, ready for battle.
Only Jiu Jianxian looked a bit uneasy, "Perhaps we should..."
"Five minutes!" Hao Mie suddenly interrupted Jiu Jianxian, saying in a deep voice, "His Immortal state can only last five minutes."
After saying this, he directly sent a status message to the team channel.
[Half-step Immortal: An Ancient Qi Refiner forcibly ascends by leveraging the power of the Innate Primordial Spirit, thus obtaining temporary Immortal power. However, as the Innate Primordial Spirit is not true spiritual power, failure to ascend results in a tragic fate of soul dispersion and flesh turning to dust.
Current duration: 4 minutes 55 seconds.]
This was revealed by Hao Mie using the Dragon Slayer’s professional specialization—[Dragon Slaying Outline].
This specialty allows players to see the hidden status, special abilities, monster weaknesses, and even background stories of a Boss.
Xiao Jie felt a sense of relief, (Five minutes... right, the system wouldn’t assign a real Immortal as a task monster, nor design an impossible task. If it’s just about delaying for five minutes, with their team’s strength, they might be able to succeed.)
Seeing everyone so determined, Master Hongchen suddenly showed a grim smile, "Since that’s the case, let’s finish this!"
