140 Last Push (1/2)

'Damn system! Why is it so hard to kill an MC!?'

Ding

This tutorial quest is designed to be manageable with your current cultivation base and skill set.

Please kill the protagonist with everything you have learned.

Be warned. Upon failing to kill the protagonist, your existence will be erased from this world.

After all, this might be your only chance to kill Xie Tian.

'But you barely taught me anything! I did most of the work!'

Again, killing Xie Tian is only a tutorial quest. Bear in mind that more protagonists, main characters, and villains with various cheats are waiting for you in the story quests of the campaign mode.

Good luck! This is what your sponsor can pray for you.

'Wait! I need some hints! How do I kill Xie Tian!?'

Cao Mao panted and clenched his chest, where his lung had been pierced by a piece of the broken ribcage. Although the lungs had been healed, the phantom pain was still haunting him.

The previous fire tornado and explosion blew dust in the air. It was hard to breathe, but Cao Mao's turtle breathing technique helped in this situation. Cao Mao's face and clothes were in a mess because of the dirt.

Cao Mao slowly got back on his feet. He glared at the cockroach protagonist. Vice versa, Xie Tian's eyes flared with rage.

”XU MIAO!! DIE!!”

Xie Tian charged at Cao Mao again with his flame saber.

Cao Mao gritted his teeth. He mustered his strength and bellowed back, ”SCREW YOU, XIE TIAN!!”

Both men dashed at each other and repeated what they had done during their first exchange.

This time, Cao Mao added more chips to the table. He circulated 1,000 drops of Yang Essence into Killer Queen. The latter cackled as her black blade glowed.

Xie Tian poured every last bit of his energy into his flame saber. He planned to destroy Cao Mao's sword and end this fight.

Their swords collided once more.

It was a stalemate in terms of brute force. However, one of them had stored more energy.

Killer Queen's high pitch laughter was audible. She created a demonic white flame around her blade, preparing to explode Xie Tian's sword.

Xie Tian's flame saber also did the same. But instead of trying to destroy KQ, Xie Tian pulled the sword back and swung it again, planning to cleave Cao Mao in half.

BOOM

Two energy collided again. Dragon flame and demon flame engulfed both of them, burning them alive.

Xie Tian's regeneration strength didn't work under the demon flame. As for Cao Mao, he could only protect himself with his remaining Yin Essence barrier.

Both men kept pressing onward, burning their remaining energy.

During the stalemate, Cao Mao seized Xie Tian's neck with his left hand while the protagonist also choked the former.

Vampiric Touch, Life Steal

Two men exchanged a life leeching skill amid the raging fire.

However, Energy Drain was a simplified version of Life Steal. The difference was apparent. Every 100 strands of Yang Qi that Xie Tian got from Cao Mao, the latter stole back 1,000 strands.

Realizing that he was losing in this tug-o-war, Xie Tian maneuvered his saber, hacking at Cao Mao's left arm.

But Cao Mao sneered. His Qi went inside his invisible ring and ejected a sealed glass bottle, flying toward the saber.

Inside the bottle was the Crimson River water!

The glass bottle smashed with Xie Tian's sword and splattered the content everywhere. However, Cao Mao had been prepared. He summoned 10 low-grade shields to be his umbrellas.

The cursed water got on Xie Tian and the shields!

Xie Tian recognized the water as soon as he felt the overwhelming will of the Rooster God. Fearing the worst-case scenario, he decided to use his trump card to cancel this effect.

”RETURN TO ZERO!!”
