Qi Tongwei is reborn, and he changes his fate by striking the bell

Chapter 171 Overestimating one’s capabilities!

"You don't know your own limitations!" The man in black snorted coldly, his figure floating like a ghost, and the scimitar in his hand drew strange arcs, aiming straight at Shen Tianyun's vital points.

Shen Tianyun did not dare to be careless, and quickly used the "Phantom Step" he learned from the system. His body was erratic, and he narrowly avoided the attack of the man in black.

However, the black-clothed man's martial arts were strange and unpredictable, and his moves were brutal. Although Shen Tianyun managed to resist with the powerful physical strength and reaction speed blessed by the system, he was always at a disadvantage and gradually got more wounds on his body.

"Hahaha, kid, weren't you very powerful? Why are you dodging like a stray dog ​​now?" Seeing that Shen Tianyun was at a disadvantage, Scarface became complacent and shouted arrogantly.

Shen Tianyun was furious, but he knew he couldn't act rashly at this moment. He dodged the attacks of the men in black while thinking hard about countermeasures.

"System, is there any way to deal with him?" Shen Tianyun asked anxiously in his heart.

"Ding! The host is detected to be in a dangerous state. It is recommended to use the item 'Vulnerability Pill'." The system's cold voice sounded.

"Rage Pill? What is that?"

"'Rage Pill', after taking it, can increase the host's power tenfold within the time of an incense stick, but it will have certain side effects."

"Side effects? What side effects?"

"Side effects include but are not limited to: exhaustion, weakness, headache, amnesia, and possessedness."

"What? There are too many side effects!" Shen Tianyun was shocked.

"Ding! Please make a choice as soon as possible, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

Shen Tianyun gritted his teeth, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

"Let's fight! Fortune and wealth can only be gained through risk. I don't believe it!"

Shen Tianyun clenched his teeth, he knew this was his only hope.

"System, use the Berserk Pill on me!"

"Ding! The Berserk Pill has been used, please prepare yourself!"

A stream of hot air instantly surged through Shen Tianyun's body. He felt as if an infinite power was awakening in his body, and his original fatigue and pain seemed to be swept away.

"Hahaha! Is this the feeling of having ten times the power? It feels so good!" Shen Tianyun felt the explosive power in his body and couldn't help but roar to the sky.

The man in black obviously did not expect Shen Tianyun to have such a change. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but his attack did not stop at all.

"Go to hell!" Shen Tianyun roared, and rushed towards the man in black like lightning. The long sword in his hand turned into a series of afterimages, and with a sharp sword energy, he madly attacked the vital points of the man in black.

The man in black was caught off guard by the violent attack and could only defend himself but was defeated one after another.

"How is this possible? How could this kid's power suddenly become so terrifying?!" Scarface was watching from the side, stunned and horrified.

"Break it!" Shen Tianyun roared, and suddenly exerted force with the sword in his hand, knocking the black-clothed man's scimitar away.

"Not good!" the man in black cried out and tried to dodge, but it was too late.

The tip of Shen Tianyun's sword was already against his throat.

"You...you can't kill me! I'm from the Netherworld Cult! If you kill me, the Netherworld Cult will not let you go!" The man in black felt the cold touch on his neck and suddenly panicked, threatening in a timid manner.

"The Netherworld Cult? Humph! I don't care what cult you are! Today, you will pay for what you have done!" A cold light flashed in Shen Tianyun's eyes, and the long sword in his hand pierced into the black-clothed man's throat without hesitation.

"Uh...you..." The man in black opened his eyes wide, let out an unwilling whimper, and then he completely lost his life.

"Leader!" Scarface was so frightened upon seeing this that he turned around and tried to run away.

"Want to run? Have you asked me?" Shen Tianyun sneered, his figure flashed, and he instantly appeared in front of Scarface and kicked him to the ground.

"Mercy...Mercy! Please spare my life, hero!" Scarface knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, trembling all over.

"Tell me! Who sent you to kill me?" Shen Tianyun asked coldly.

“Yes…Yes…”

Scarface hadn't finished his words when suddenly, a black shadow shot out from a distance and hit Shen Tianyun's back!

"Be careful!"

At the critical moment, a crisp voice rang in Shen Tianyun's ears, and then a soft force pushed him away.

"puff!"

The black shadow directly pierced the man's chest, and blood splattered!

Shen Tianyun turned around and saw a familiar and pale face. The pair of big, lively eyes were now filled with pain and despair...

"Xue'er!" Shen Tianyun's eyes were bloodshot. The effect of the violent pill had not yet subsided. Strength filled his limbs and bones, but he could not stop this sudden change. He watched helplessly as the black shadow pierced through the girl's chest, bringing up a shocking spray of blood.

The girl was none other than Shen Tianyun's childhood sweetheart, Xue'er. On weekdays, she was one of the few people in the family who had never laughed at or bullied him, but instead cared for him. Shen Tianyun had long regarded her as his own family, but now, she had blocked a fatal blow for him.

"You...why..." Shen Tianyun trembled as he hugged Xue'er who was lying in a pool of blood. His voice was hoarse and he could hardly speak.

Xue'er's face was as pale as paper, but a weak smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She said intermittently: "Master... Xue'er... Xue'er can't serve you anymore... You have to... live well..."

"No! Xue'er! You will be fine! I won't let anything happen to you!" Shen Tianyun shook his head frantically, tears welling up in his eyes. He had never been so desperate.

"Ding! The host's emotions are detected to be fluctuating violently. Do you want to activate emergency treatment mode?" The system's cold voice sounded in the mind.

"Treatment? Hurry! Hurry and save Xueer!" Shen Tianyun shouted hoarsely as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"It takes 1000 points to activate the emergency treatment mode. The current points are insufficient. Do you want to use the overdraft?"

"Overdraft! Overdraft! As long as I can save Xue'er, I'm willing to pay any price!" Shen Tianyun shouted without hesitation.

"Ding! Points overdraft successful, emergency treatment mode has been activated..."

At the same time, the black shadow did not leave, but instead let out a sinister laugh: "Hehehe, what a touching master-servant love! It's a pity that none of you will survive today!"

The shadow gradually solidified, revealing an old man in a black robe with a sinister face. He looked at Shen Tianyun with hatred and murderous intent in his eyes: "Shen Tianyun, you killed the guardian of my Netherworld Sect. Today, I will make you pay with blood!"

At this moment, Shen Tianyun turned a deaf ear to the old man's threats. All his attention was on Xue'er, who was gradually getting cold in his arms.

"Xue'er... hold on! I will definitely save you..." Shen Tianyun's voice trembled, but the despair in his eyes grew deeper and deeper.

Seeing this, the old man smiled sinisterly and said, "It's useless. My Netherworld Claw is poisoned. Even a great immortal can't save her!"

"Shut up!" Shen Tianyun raised his head suddenly, his eyes were red, and a violent aura gushed out of his body, like an enraged beast.

"The side effects of the Berserk Pill...are they about to start?" Seeing this, the old man was not afraid, but instead showed a hint of cruel excitement.

Qi Tongwei jumped up from the bed suddenly, his T-shirt soaked with sweat, sticking to his body and making him feel sick. The dazzling skill special effects, the thrilling dungeon challenges, and the world of "Cloud Top Palace" that made him dream, all burst like bubbles, leaving only the instant noodle buckets and messy clothes in the room laughing at his desolation.

"Damn it, I'm dreaming again!" Qi Tongwei scratched his messy hair irritably. The greasy feel made him even more irritated.

He is a game geek, or more precisely, a hardcore player of the holographic immortal cultivation game "Cloud Top Palace". He has been playing this game for a full ten years, since the public beta, and he has been playing the game almost every day. He knows every corner and every NPC in the game.

"It would be great if I could travel back to the game. I'll make back all the money I spent on the game over the years!" Qi Tongwei cursed as he searched for clothes to wear, while imagining himself being a big shot in the game.

"Ding Dong!" The phone notification sound interrupted his fantasy. He picked up the phone and saw a message from the landlord, with only two cold words: "Rent."

"Fuck, it's time to pay the rent again!" Qi Tongwei scratched his hair in annoyance, opened his mobile banking app, looked at the pitiful three-digit balance, and sighed deeply.

"If only I could travel into the game..." He muttered to himself and clicked on the familiar icon.

The familiar login interface, the familiar background music, the familiar world that made him love and hate it.

"Enter the game!"

With a familiar feeling of dizziness, Qi Tongwei once again entered the world of "The Cloud Top Palace".

However, this time, he did not appear in the top cave he was familiar with, nor did he see his majestic spirit beast mounts. What came into view was a dilapidated cabin with sparse thatched roofs, which let in mottled sunlight that shone on him, making him feel cold.

"What's going on?" Qi Tongwei looked around and found himself in an unfamiliar place. There were low thatched houses all around him and continuous mountains in the distance. Everything looked so real, yet so strange.

"Could it be..." A terrible thought flashed through his mind, making him break out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, a sharp voice came from outside the door: "Qi Tongwei! You lazy bastard! You are lazing around at home again! When will you pay me back the money you owe me!"

"Qi Tongwei! You lazy bastard! You're slacking off at home again! When will you pay me back the money you owe me?" The rude roar exploded in Qi Tongwei's ears, accompanied by a violent knock on the door, which almost scared him to death.

"What's going on?" He subconsciously wanted to open the game panel to check, but found that it was empty and there was no familiar interface at all.

"Could it be..." He suddenly remembered the terrifying feeling when he woke up from the dream, as well as the dilapidated wooden house in front of him. An absurd thought emerged in his mind: "Could it be that I really traveled to the game?"

"Qi Tongwei! If you don't come out, I'm going to tear down your broken house!" The voice outside the door became even more arrogant, accompanied by a violent bang, as if someone was going to break in in the next second.

Qi Tongwei took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He had no idea what was going on. The only thing he could do was to figure out the situation first.

He gritted his teeth and walked to the door, pulling open the rickety wooden door. A burly man with a face full of flesh stood outside the door, staring at him ferociously.

"You finally came out!" The sturdy man grabbed Qi Tongwei by the collar and said viciously, "When are you going to pay me back the ten copper coins you owe me?"

"Ten copper coins?" Qi Tongwei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a picture flashed through his mind: the NPC in the novice village in the game who was lazy and in debt, wasn't he called Qi Tongwei?

"Have I become an NPC in the game?" This thought made him feel like he was falling into an icy cave, and a feeling of despair surged in his heart.

"Stop talking nonsense!" The strong man interrupted his thoughts impatiently, "If you don't pay me back today, I will sell you to the mine to mine!"

"Wait!" Qi Tongwei hurriedly grabbed the strong man's arm, "Let me think about it, I can definitely pay you back!"
