Chapter 122: Murder (1/2)

“Attack!”

The moment Gui Guzi launched his attack, Sentinel Leader Fark shouted in anger, “Dammit, we’re under attack! Warriors of the Night Creatures, raise your weapons and fight!”

Thud!

A black Devil Piercing Arrow hit the sentinel leader in the throat, and Lin Yixin showed up beside him with a dagger. Moonlight illuminating her beautiful figure, she hit Sentinel Leader Fark with Moon Gaze and slammed her dagger into his chest with Extreme Break!

It was my turn now. I fired Ice Ray and Slayer Slash at the sentinel leader!

Bang bang!

1754!

1890!

Extreme Break had diminished my opponent’s Defense, so my attacks became a lot stronger than before. Sentinel Leader Fark had lost most of his HP in just a few rounds of attacks, and that was without counting Beiming Xue shooting her arrows at lightning speed and hitting the enemy’s weak point without fail! She was like a killer in the dark!

“Ah! I will be back, evil humans!”

Sentinel Leader Fark roared before perishing.

By now, twenty or so NPCs had surrounded Gui Guzi, Lin Yixin and me, and the damage they dealt quickly outdid Mamate’s ability to heal us. Everyone’s HP was falling rapidly, and he couldn’t afford to focus his healing on just one person.

I shouted in the party channel, “Lil Beiming, use Volley!”

“Got it!”

Beiming Xue immediately fired a Rank 5 Volley at the enemy, hitting eight separate warriors with eight separate arrows. The staggered Night Creatures immediately started chasing after her, although it didn’t look that they were going to catch up to her anytime soon.

Rustle rustle…

I took a few steps backward to search for the perfect angle to unleash my skill. Then, I shouted, “Thousand Mirage Slash!”

A vast sword aura split into three separate attacks and hit all the skeleton warriors that were attacking us. Their HP dropped in unison as damage numbers popped above their heads.

1194!

1087!

1201!

……

I had to admit that this Thousand Mirage Slash was pretty amazing when used against multiple enemies. Considering that it was already this powerful at Rank 3, I could hardly wait for the skill to reach Rank 10.

The Level 60 NPCs collapsed one after another in just the blink of an eye. It was the result we expected; their levels were low, and we were very powerful.

A few minutes later, Beiming Xue returned without even breaking a sweat.

Gui Guzi asked, “Lil Beiming, where are those eight NPCs?”

She smiled. “I took them all out, of course.”

Yamete immediately gave her a thumbs-up. “Awesome!”

……

I looked toward Frost Mound and said, “We’ll attack from the left side and take out the barbarian warrior first. Then, we’ll kill the material vendor!”

Got it!”

The kills went successfully. None of these production-based NPCs such as the material vendor or potion vendor were able to put too much pressure on us. The same couldn’t be said for Undead Swordsman Suren though. He was the most powerful warrior in the entire Frost Mound, and his level was so high I didn’t even know what level he was. It wouldn’t be an easy fight!

After killing 12 NPCs in a row, I stopped in my tracks and ordered, “Let’s take a rest and wait until we’ve recovered!”

“What’s wrong?” Gui Guzi turned back and looked at me in surprise.

If my eyes could shoot fire, they would’ve done so already. I glared hatefully at Suren standing in front of his wooden house but kept a cool tone. “The greatest enemy is about to show up. Don’t let your guard down, this NPC is so powerful that a party wipe isn’t an impossibility…”

“What? Party wipe?” Beiming Xue widened her eyes in surprise. “Who is this boss? Why are you so wary of him?”

I sucked in a deep breath before replying, “He’s my trainer…”

“What?!”

Beiming Xue’s mouth fell open. “But why would you want to kill your own trainer, boss? How are you going to learn a skill in the future?”

I stared at Suren coldly before replying, “I will find a way. Anyway, this NPC must die today, or I won’t be able to face my conscience ever again!”

Beiming Xue nodded and stopped asking anymore questions. She simply smiled and said, “Your enemy is our enemy, boss. If you think he’s deserving of death, then we shall carry out your order. But is he really as powerful as you think?”

“Yeah, he’s a boss-tier NPC, and he’s over Level 75 at the minimum since neither Yiyi nor I can see his stats. Also, this boss could one-shot me, so…”

“What? He one-shot you?” Gui Guzi’s eyes widened. “He definitely sounds like a dangerous guy. If he can one-shot you, he can probably one-shot me as well…”

“You’re fine, you have the Undying Shield, right?” Lin Yixin said with a smile.

Gui Guzi shot a wary glance at her. “You’re not planning to kill me again, are you?”

Lin Yixin replied, “Don’t worry, you’re still useful to me. I never kill noobs I can use for something~~”

Tears started pouring down Gui Guzi’s cheeks.

Gui Guzi was undoubtedly a Top 3 player within Bloody Mercenaries, but Lin Yixin also had the right to call him a noob. Gui Guzi was a first-rate player, but Lin Yixin was among the best of the best. He still had a long way to go, and his control especially needed a lot of work.
