Chapter 53: Killed in Seconds
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After Li Zongwen decided, Liu Qinghong, Fu Moyan, and the rest didn’t oppose it and immediately commanded the players in their teams to move forward with the attack.
The players who were skilled in Henglian techniques were essential players who tried their best to groom.
After all, if they were going to fight a Boss, they had to make sure the team could withstand the Boss’ attacks.
If they couldn’t even hold up against these attacks, then they could forget about the rest.
To go up against the Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain, every team had brought the players with the best Henglian Techniques over.
Every single one of them.
Every single one was a high-level player, at least Martial Entry-Level Four.
There were even two Martial Entry-Level Five players around.
These two were both team leaders and one of the top ten fighters in Starter Village #23012.
And now, more than ten players sprung out from the crowd and started making their attack towards Qin Shujian.
At the same time,
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The sounds of the air being cut through filled the area as arrows that flew as quickly as shooting stars were shot in between the people. Their aim was, of course, Qin Shujian, who was still standing where he was.
On top of that, the other players immediately scattered to attack Qin Shujian from all sides.
All of this was done in an instant.
The players had gotten themselves into a killing formation.
BOOM!
Qin Shujian remained where he was when his entire body seemed to burst with energy. The ground under his feet cracked open violently, and his heavy aura instantly flowed out viciously, as if a terrifying beast had just been awoken.
One punch!
The air that had taken a hit blasted loudly.
An intense wind came out from the fist and swept across the front in a curve.
The arrows that had cut through the air were hit by the strong wind and fell away like withered flowers immediately.
The Henglian players who had come towards Qin Shujian were having difficulty breathing when faced with this punch. They wanted to avoid this terrifying punch, but they realized that the wind already locked them in, and there was no way for them to move forward nor retreat.
“AH!” Xing Jia roared and let out all his Martial Entry-Level Five energy. He held a pure iron shield with both hands and pushed it in front of him so that it crashed heavily on the ground.
After he started playing this game, Xing Jia had completed a secret mission and attained a potent Henglian Technique.
And because of this particular Henglian Technique, the team he led often had no problems in tackling Bosses, and that was how he became one of the top ten fighters of Starter Village #23012 very quickly.
Ever since he had cultivated this particular Henglian Technique, there were only two people, or rather, two Bosses, that made Xing Jia feel really threatened.
One of them was the Mountain Thief Boss of Mount Mingai.
He hadn’t completely mastered that particular technique at that time, so when Niu Feng used his Mountain Breaking Knife Technique, he had no choice but to bite the dust.
But this time, Xing Jia had already cultivated this Henglian Technique to its completion.
He was confident that if he had to combat the Mountain Thief boss of Mount Mingai again, he would definitely be able to defend himself against his opponent’s fatal attack.
And now, he had his iron shield in hand.
He was confident that this shield could block the punch that was posing a tremendous threat to him.
Bronze Wall Iron Shield!
It was as unmovable as a mountain!
BOOM!
An ancient bronze-colored fist immediately struck the iron shield.
This terrifying amount of strength immediately went right through the iron shield.
Xing Jia lifted his head and spewed fresh blood as his body uncontrollably started flying backward.
At this moment, the look in his eyes went from confidence, later to shock, and finally to a look of complete confusion.
In the end, a white glow gleamed brightly, and there was nothing else but scattered broken pieces of the iron shield on the ground.
“What!!” Liu Qinghong and the rest felt their hearts tremble at this scene, and they all stopped midway in their preparations to make an attack.
Xing Jia had been killed in seconds!
He was one of their top ten fighters, who was cultivating mainly in Henglian Techniques. He was nicknamed The Ultimate Defender, but he had been killed in seconds by the opponent!
Xing Jia was at Martial Entry-Level Five and had that particular iron shield.
According to calculations, never mind someone at Martial Entry-Level Six – even someone at Martial Entry-Level Seven wouldn’t have been able to attack him.
But, if he was killed in seconds by just one move.
Liu Qinghong and the rest were very sure that even a Martial Entry-Level Eight Boss would not be able to do this either.
The Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain, according to the information that they had, this Boss was only at Martial Entry-Level Eight.
But Xing Jia had indeed been killed in seconds by just one punch from the Boss.
So what that meant was, the opponent was definitely not just at Martial Entry-Level Eight. He must be a Martial Entry-Level Nine!
Or he might even be at Martial Entry-Level Ten!
...
Once they thought of this possibility, Liu Qinghong and the rest started to have nasty expressions on their faces.
As the levels progressed, the difference between each level became more and more tremendous.
According to their current calculations, it wasn’t too big of a problem to fight the Martial Entry-Level Eight Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain. But if he were at Martial Entry-Level Nine or worse, at Martial Entry-Level Ten, then this was going to be a big problem.
But, even though Liu Qinghong and the rest were shocked and froze, it didn’t mean Qin Shujian was going to wait around for them to snap out of their daze.
After he had killed off Xing Jia in seconds with that punch, his hand had already grabbed the handle of the knife that was behind him.
JAANG!
The Tiger Head Blade was pulled out of its sheath.
In the next moment!
ROAR!
The roar of a tiger shook the earth and sent shockwaves for a hundred miles in an instant.
All the Henglian players were shocked and terrified by the tiger’s roar, and they all immediately went into a daze.
...
The cold gleam of the blade tore through the resistance of the air and fell directly on all of them.
In that instant, a white light appeared.
More than ten players had returned to the point of waiting to revive with the slash of this knife.
“Die!” Qin Shujian’s murderous intent increased dramatically. After killing more than ten players with just one swing of his blade, he raised the knife again and stabbed it right into the crowd of players, and started on his bloody massacre.
Martial Entry-Level Ten.
This was paired with the one with the Heavens level of Black Tiger Blade Technique.
Qin Shujian was now like a ferocious beast in human form as he massacred the players without any thought.
It didn’t matter if these players were at Martial Entry-Level Four or even at Martial Entry-Level Five.
In front of Qin Shujian, these players were all pitifully weak and easily killed with just one slash.
The sudden turn of events made the expressions of Liu Qinghong and the rest change immediately.
“Hurry! Scatter yourselves and hold down the Boss at close range!”
“Those in long-range positions, use everything you have to shoot him! Don’t worry about using up all your arrows!”
Instantly, the densely gathered players immediately started scattering.
Those players with large bows in hand chose a place to stand and started shooting arrows towards Qin Shujian.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
A dense rain of arrows came raining down.
The players on the ground seemed to have gotten a signal of sorts as they immediately chose to retreat and avoided the range that the rain of arrows covered.
ROAR!
A projection of a black tiger appeared in the air, and the soundwaves of the terrifying roar of the tiger shook the place.
A strange aura was instantly unleashed from Qin Shujian, so when the dense rain of arrows was a few meters from him, they seemed to hit an obstruction that they could not overcome and fell to the ground.
But, this obstruction didn’t last long, and the remaining arrows managed to break through it.
The sharp arrows struck Qin Shujian’s body and gave off the crisp sound of gold and metal hitting each other. Sparks even flew as the arrows hit him, but none of the arrows managed to hurt his skin at all.
Immediately after that, Qin Shujian ignored the rain of arrows in the sky. The bright and cold gleam of his knife appeared once more, and he started to kill the close range players who had retreated earlier.
Nobody had expected this.
They didn’t expect Qin Shujian to be this powerful. Those arrows were enough to kill a Martial Entry-Level Five fighter, but he could ignore all of them and even face the fierce attack of the rain of arrows head-on.
By the time they realized what was happening, the cold gleam of the blade was already right in front of them.
