Chapter 127: Boasting On The Livestream

Lu Zhan and the others exchanged looks nervously as they looked at Tong Gua the Ghost King who was lying helplessly on the ground and trying to catch his breath.

“Boss, this is a Ghost King. After we kill him, will we be leveled up by hundreds of levels or gain some precious spiritual materials? This is a once-in-a-life-time opportunity!”

Lu Zhan’s heart began to pound after listening to what his teammatee said. He felt like he had truly encountered a great opportunity.

Even though this Ghost King seemed pitiable for being so weak, his worth was undeniable. He was basically a living treasury.

“Wait!” Although Tong Gua did not understand their conversation, he who was initially panting, gulped when he heard that they intended to kill him. He raised one of his wings and gestured to them to pause their dialogue.

However, Lu Zhan and the others could not be bothered as they approached the Ghost King with their swords in their hands. Tong Gua was frightened. Surrounded by the air of a loser, he fell onto the ground and began to shiver.

“No, we can’t just kill him like this. We should promote this on the forum to increase the popularity of our guild,” the idea hit Lu Zhan as he was about to attack. Then, he quickly stopped the others who were ready to pounce hungrily on their prey.

“What’s the matter, boss?” asked the puzzled guild members.

“Start a livestream. Let’s boast about it to gain some popularity!”

Lu Zhan launched the built-in live streaming function of the game as he spoke.

Shortly after, a livestream video with the title, After 8 Hours Of Hard-Fought Battle, The Slayer Alliance Has Defeated The Server’s First Top-Tier Ghost King. His Death Is On Livestream Now!, appeared on the official platform.

This title was indeed eye-catching and a large number of players immediately swarmed into the livestream channel to watch.

Crayon_Shinchan: “People who use clickbaits should die a terrible death. Yes, I came in purposely to start an argument. How am I Crayon Shinchan if I don’t make you cry. (laughing emoji)”

Assassin_Creed: “The poster should be aware that lying is not only illegal now, you’ll also need to pay tax for it. I’m going to report you to the authorities now…”

Xueli_The_Strongest: “With the Slayer Alliance’s capability, they want to kill a top-tier Ghost King. Cha Na issuing the first warning (Cha_Na_glaring.jpg)”

Watermelon_Taro: “They must be bored to death to even bring up a top-tier Ghost King. Why don’t you go and cut down some trees if you have so much time? I get angry just by looking at those Ancient Tree Demons in front of the North Rocks (teeth-gritting emoji)”

Basically, the players who entered the live streaming channel all had the same attitude. They were here to ridicule the host and none of them believed the title.

As the number of viewers in the live streaming channel gradually increased, Lu Zhan, who had prepared to showcase his capability, shifted his gaze to Tong Gua before opening Tong Gua’s Analysis Menu.

As soon as Tong Gua’s Analysis Menu appeared, the entire live streaming channel was silenced.

Xueli_The_Strongest: “I’m deeply shocked. This is really a Ghost King from the Ghost King Peak Realm. His existence is more powerful than Rock Ghost King…”

Invincible_Loneliness: “Wow! How did you guys do it? Is this the Ghost King from the illusion zone?”

Peppa_Boar: “I suspect that all of you are hacking because I doubt that the Slayer Alliance is capable of killing a Ghost King.”

Crayon_Shinchan: “Fuck, that’s really the Ghost King. But, why does he look like a useless giant goose?”

Lu Zhan satisfied his pride by looking at the other players’ amazement via the live streaming channel.

He answered, “This is a celestial crane, not a giant goose!”

Tong Gua was rendered speechless.

“Well. Next, I’ll show you guys how to kill a Ghost King with only one hand!”

To create a more climactic scene, Lu Zhan did not kill Tong Gua immediately. Instead, he seized Tong Gua by his neck before placing the sword by his throat. He continued to check the number of viewers of the live streaming channel.

Facing his imminent death, Tong Gua struggled. However, with his strength, which was weaker than Wandering Souls, it was impossible for him to escape from Lu Zhan’s headlock.

The players in the comment section also wanted to know what would happen after a Ghost King was killed. Their eyes were glued to their screens as they waited for the development of the story. Before long, the number of viewers in the live streaming channel had skyrocketed.

Once the viewer count reached 20,000, Lu Zhan finally lifted his sword.

“Pay attention. It’s time to witness a miracle!”

Then, he swung his sword toward the Ghost King.

It was at this moment when Tong Gua’s body started to tremble. A green flow of light appeared from his body before he quickly enveloped it. Lu Zhan’s sword immediately sprung back upon hitting Tong Gua. Meanwhile, Lu Zhan was also thrown backward by the immense force as well.

With the help of the green energy, Tong Gua’s body began to glimmer, while a hint of excitement painted across his initially disheartened face.

“Ah, my abilities have returned!”

Everyone in the comment section was puzzled, not knowing what was going on.

It was at that moment that Tong Gua put on a devilish grin before he turned his gaze to Lu Zhan.

“How audacious of you to attempt to kill me!”

Tong Gua flapped his wings as he spoke and, without warning, disappeared. The next moment, he materialized next to Lu Zhan and attacked Lu Zhan with numerous slaps.

The violent blows had terribly stupefied Lu Zhan. He had no idea how Tong Gua, who was previously so weak, had suddenly turned so powerful.

“Fret not. I will definitely not let you die so easily since you’re the first person who was brave enough to beat me up!”

Upon listening to that, Lu Zhan, who was battered, had no tears left to cry. He was immediately thrashed by Tong Gua’s wings again.

After witnessing this, the players in the comment section were quite amused by the tragedy.

Crayon_Shinchan: “So why did you want to show off? Is it that hard to stay alive without creating any drama (laughing emoji)?”

Xueli_The_Strongest: “My stomach hurts from laughing. The first boss to humiliate himself on the livestream. Take my salute!”

Strike_Gold: “We are both guild masters, and out of courtesy, I shouldn’t be laughing. But, I just cannot hold it in. Hahaha, Brother Lu, please don’t hold it against me!”

Peppa_Boar: “As the saying goes, boasting will bring about divine punishment. The slaps to your face were surely loud.”

Watermelon_Taro: “Screenshot to make this into a sticker collection and this swollen face is already in my Battle Online Sticker Collection (laughing emoji)!”

A_Mammoth: “I laughed so hard that I spat my food. Also, I’d like to ask guild master Lu Zhan who’s on the livestream, if he will pay for my wasted food (laughing emoji)?”

Broke_Trash: “I think this scene should be recorded into the Annals of Great Battles (laughing emoji)!”

In the meantime, Lu Zhan felt hopeless because his plan to show off had not only miserably backfired, he was also beaten up by a Big Goose. He had never felt so humiliated before.

He further despaired as the Big Goose, who was standing before him, continued to slap him. His health bar dropped at a very slow rate, though. Lu Zhan suspected that it might take half a day or so for the Big Goose to slap him to death.

Lu Zhan, who was at the verge of crying, started to beg for mercy, “Brother, stop for a moment. We can talk this out!”

Glee flashed across Tong Gua’s eyes when he heard the plea. He thought, my revenge has just started. How can I stop now? Immediately, he decided to strike his wing across Lu Zhan’s cheek again and turn Lu Zhan’s head to the side.

“Talk it out? I don’t like to talk. I prefer to solve things with brutality!” as he spoke, Tong Gua created a shadow as he flapped his wings rapidly. In the meantime, Lu Zhan’s head gradually disappeared as the flaps grew more violent.

“I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!” Tong Gua chanted his provocative line as he continued to assault Lu Zhan, traumatizing Lu Zhan both mentally and physically.

The guild members, who were standing at the side, were in shock. None of them had the intention to help him out. Instead, they wanted to run away.

However, after being tortured for some time, Lu Zhan suddenly noticed that the Big Goose’s strength was gradually getting weaker and the slaps had also become fewer and farther between. Most importantly, the green glowing energy that had blanketed the Big Goose was slowly diminishing.

Lu Zhan was not the only one who noticed it. Tong Gua seemed to be aware of it, too. He grew increasingly nervous as he continued to attack Lu Zhan.

“I will beat you to death… brother, don’t move. Let me help you up!” Tong Gua said as he attempted to pull Lu Zhan up to his feet.
