Chapter 135 – Celestial Tier Boss (1/2)
“Dang! What the heck?!” Fatty immediately straightened his body and pushed open the coffin’s lid.
Whoosh! A creepy wind kicked up as a pale hand crept out from the coffin to clutch at a side. Creak… Another hand grabbed at the other side as well. Then, both hands pushed against the coffin’s edge to leverage a humanoid boss upright. A golden crown sat atop the creature’s head; a golden mask covered its face; and the figure wore full-body armor that, too, was golden.
Undead Marshal Lei Ting1
Celestial Boss
Level: ???
Celestial boss? How’s that possible?! Fatty was appalled. The location was too close to Black Tortoise City to house a celestial boss. According to the meta, the region was intended only for players to farm; so, an advanced boss like the Phantom Messenger had already been outrageous enough! How could there be a celestial boss now?!
Ding!
System Notification: Player Money Grubber and player Purple Bell have awakened the celestial boss Undead Marshal Lei Ting. As this is a great threat to Black Tortoise City, 5000 Reputation will be deducted from each player.
Brave warriors of Black Tortoise City, prepare your weapons and venture to the Seventh Floor of Mass Graves. Slay the dreadful monster and defend your home!
The moment Fatty opened the coffin and the Undead Marshal stepped out, the system popped a notification for the whole CN region to see. Strangely, however, the two people it mentioned didn’t get the message at all.
“What? A celestial-tier boss?”
“Oh, poor couple of schmucks, actually losing 5000 Reputation.”
“Let’s hurry to Black Tortoise City and kill the celestial boss!”
“Quick, quick! Before it’s too late!”
“Aaah, Undead Marshal! It’s really the Undead Marshal! Master, I finally get to meet you again!” The entire CN region was abuzz with excitement. Countless players flocked toward Black Tortoise City, causing its teleportation portals to flash continuously with light columns. Black Tortoise City had a huge amount of teleportation portals, yet all of them creaked beneath the onslaught, as if they were about to go on strike at any moment.
“Wind God’s World, what the hell is this?” On the fifth floor of Mass Graves, Jiangdong’s LittleOverlord raged at Wind God’s World and grabbed him by his collar.
Raising his hands to push away Jiangdong’s LittleOverlord, Wind God’s World fixed his collar and replied somewhat awkwardly, “Bell has a skill that can teleport to a chosen location. I had her go down to see if the Phantom Messenger had fled to the lower floors. I never expected to unintentionally wake the Undead Marshal.”
“Unintentionally? As far as I can see, you guys planned it,” Xu Quan remarked icily.
“Money Grubber is down there as well. How did he descend?” Wind God’s World hurriedly changed the topic.
“Damn Fatty!” Liu Lan couldn’t help but feel anxious upon seeing the surrounding players’ faces turn grim. “He just went down there without a word. What will people think of him from now on?”

“Lei Ting is out?” In the City Lord’s Manor, Lord Lin Xi savored his tea while calmly conversing with Drucker.
“That’s right, my Lord. It was that little fatty, Money Grubber, who released him.”
“Hehe, he really knows how to cause trouble,” Lin Xi mused, setting his teacup on the table. “After all, Lei Ting is still a hero of Black Tortoise City; he’s made far too many contributions. Go extend an invitation to Grandmaster Jijilu, so that he might help Lei Ting rest in peace. Let no one disturb our hero.”
The corner of Drucker’s lips curled down briefly. If you hadn’t thought to place the Guild Establishment Token with Lei Ting, would such ignorant people throw away their lives to come for him? Who knows how many people have died in the past few days already? But, Drucker didn’t dare voice his thoughts. He sent for Grand Magus Jijilu, assembled a troop, then flashily whizzed toward Mass Graves.

“Big Brother Fatty, what’s wrong?” Purple Bell hastily asked,watching Fatty’s expression suddenly change. At the same time, she summoned the Yin Yang Manual along with her pet Butterfly Fairy in preparation for combat.
“This is a celestial-tier boss,” sighed Fatty. He had no desire to fight now. Dragging Purple Bell several steps back, he shared the Undead Marshal’s information with her.
“Uh, a celestial-tier boss? Over level 50?” Purple Bell stammered in shock. She hurriedly pocketed Butterfly Fairy. “Big Brother Fatty, should we still fight?”
“Fight? Of course we’ll fight! Otherwise, establishing a guild in Black Tortoise City would only ever be a dream,” Fatty answered with resolve. “But, we need to figure out a way to beat it first.”
Bang!
The Undead Marshal rose completely and took a step out of the coffin. He was of a sturdy build and garbed in gold from top to toe. A golden cloak floated behind his back, and numerous magical runes flowed back and forth along the fabric.
The boss swung his hand. A golden corona fell, conjuring a skeletal horse from nowhere. The bony steed was different from those on the floors above. Also clad in golden armor, the horse had hooves covered in burning flames. Each step the mount took was beautiful, as if it walked upon fire.
