Chapter 27: Wind Slasher Guild’s Crisis

Chen Xiaolian held on to Soo Soo and continued venturing forth.

After the cliff area was a passage. While moving across this passage, Chen Xiaolian unexpectedly saw bloodstains upon the ground!

The crimson red blood exuded a nose piercing scent.

Moreover… back then, the sounds of explosions and flashes of fire had appeared from some distance…

Perhaps it was from the members of the Wind Slasher Guild?

To survive… Without any path of retreat, how would I escape from here?

There is also the need to save Takashimoto Shizuka… in that case… the one method available would likely be…

Complete this instance dungeon?

Perhaps, only by completing this instance dungeon would the way out of this underground labyrinth reveal itself?

The blood on the ground meant that the Wind Slasher Guild had encountered an intense battle here. In addition, it seems someone had been injured?

Hopefully, the one injured is not Han Bi.

Chen Xiaolian carefully led Soo Soo through the passage. There, he observed the remnant marks left on the wall… there were also several arrows. Those obviously belonged to Sara.

When they reached a corner in the passage…

An item upon the ground caused Chen Xiaolian to become momentarily stunned!

That was… a scimitar!

Chen Xiaolian clearly recalled that this was one of the dual weapons wielded by Pattern Man. Additionally, this scimitar must certainly be one of his high levelled equipment. For a Player to end up losing his own weapon, one could only imagine what kind of miserable circumstance they have found themselves in.

He picked up the scimitar, gently testing its weight and found that it was handy – this item was certainly of a higher level compared to his own light sabre.

Using the system to check:

Good stuff!

Chen Xiaolian let out a sigh.

At the end, it is stated that the additional effect is subject to restrictions due to class difference. It meant that when facing weapons and equipment of a higher class, the additional effect would not trigger.

Even so, this is already good!

This scimitar is of the [B+] class. In other words, when using this weapon, there is the possibility of breaking armour that is of the [B+] class or below with one hit!

Because this is a dual wield weapon, if two of them are to be used at the same time, there will be a chance of directly breaking a weapon that is of the [B+] class or below during the course of a melee battle!

Although the matter of probability is dependent on the person… just imagine two person of the same level in the midst of PK, with their respective weapons seemingly to be of the same class [1].However, what if one side could suddenly break the opposing side’s weapon or their defensive armour…

Such a good weapon ended up being lost by the Pattern Man… just what kind of disaster did the Wind Slasher Guild encounter?

With the Snow Edge in his hand, Chen Xiaolian took a few more steps forward with Soo Soo…

Then, he saw an even more amazing scene!

A door like sword was pierced into the ground!

This was… a half broken sword!

Chen Xiaolian was even more familiar towards this item! Its owner should be Damon!

This gigantic sword, in addition to Damon’s robust bodybuilder physique would allow him to transform himself at any moment into the incarnation of a savage path-clearing tank!

But now…

Chen Xiaolian narrowed his eyes as he looked at the broken sword.

Just what kind of calamity could it be that would lead to Damon’s mighty weapon being broken here?

That explosion and flash earlier…

They continued taking several steps forward…

Chen Xiaolian suddenly stopped moving!

He saw a figure hanging upon the mountain walls. With a solemn face, he suddenly took a deep breath before squatting down. He lightly cupped Soo Soo’s face and whispered. “Soo Soo, you need to stay here alone, do not go anywhere. Stay in this place and wait for me, all right?”

With an expression of fear, Soo Soo raised her head and looked up at the mountain walls…

A figure was swaying amidst the blowing winds.

It was a person!

Du Ya! That freak Du Ya!

This person’s head was drooping downwards. Upon his chest was something resembling a spear, piercing through his body and directly nailing him onto the surface of the rocks!

He was evidently dead; however, his body remained swaying due to the winds!

“Do not look. Listen to me, do not look up.”

Chen Xiaolian spoke out gently, his hands reaching out to cover Soo Soo’s eyes. He then cupped her face and looked her in the eye.

“Look at me Soo Soo, look at me.”

“Xiao, Xiaolian oppa…” Soo Soo was clearly trying her best to suppress the urge to cry, her little body trembling.

“Do not be afraid, do not be afraid,” Chen Xiaolian rubbed her hair and whispered. “This is just a game, just a game. Do not be afraid, it will all end soon. After it ends, I will bring you home, all right? Wait for me here, I will go forward to take a look. After that, this game will end, all right?”

Soo Soo vigorously nodded her head.

This place is a leeward area. Chen Xiaolian made Soo Soo sit down and said softly. “Just sit here. No matter what you hear, do not move about. I will definitely come back for you. Do you trust me?”

“En!” Soo Soo nodded with all her strength.

Chen Xiaolian hugged her tight before standing up. He then turned and left while taking big strides!

This mountain passage was quickly nearing the end. Chen Xiaolian on the other hand, had been moving at an increasingly slower speed.

After reaching the end of the passage, he was greeted by brightness and clarity of sight. A flat square was laid out before his eyes.

The square appeared to be in a six-sided shape. The ground was paved with six-side shaped tiles, all of which were placed together seamlessly.

Around the square, several thick white pillars rose up. It was reminiscent of the palace of the Gods in the myths.

Chen Xiaolian caught sight of the Wind Slasher Guild members atop the square! A fierce battle was underway…

However, the thing that shocked Chen Xiaolian was the two fighting parties…

Newton was wielding two military combat knives in both hands as he madly launched an attack towards Pattern Man!

Pattern Man only had one scimitar in his hands. Under the snake-like assault of the combat knives, Pattern Man could only roll upon the ground while parrying continuously with his scimitar.

“Ding ding dang dang”. A series of sparks was emitted from the collisions between the military combat knives and the scimitar!

Over half of the armour on Newton that screamed interstellar warfare had been cracked. An arrow shaft was piercing through his shoulder! Whenever he launched an attack, the shaft would quiver!

However, it did not hinder Newton’s movements in the slightest! His attacks were both ferocious and vicious!

It was clear that Pattern Man’s strength and speed was absolutely inferior! As for Newton, he kept stabbing both his military combat knives down towards Pattern Man’s scimitar.

Pattern Man suddenly let out a loud roar; he exerted all his might to knock aside Newton’s military combat knives using his scimitar. He then abruptly jumped up from the ground, being barely able to stand. However, Newton soared towards him, the military combat knives shooting out from his hands. Pattern Man was greatly startled and desperately tried to parry the attack!

Keng!

A fiery radiance burst out!

It appeared that the Sword Break effect of the scimitar had been triggered as the military combat knife was directly cut into two. However, Newton had already leapt upwards, his knee striking Pattern Man’s chest!

Pattern Man gave a stifled groan and his body flew backwards. When he fell to the ground, the six-sided shaped tiles were cracked to pieces!

He watched helplessly as the other military combat knife in Newton’s hand was turned downwards and was sent stabbing towards him like a poisonous snake…

Xiu!

Ding!

An arrow flew directly towards Newton’s face. Newton abruptly twisted his head and used his military combat knife to knock it out of the way!

In a corner of the square, Sara was partly kneeling on the ground. Bereft of any strength, her hands let go of her longbow as she gasped for breath.

Chen Xiaolian came to realize that Sara’s face was half covered in blood! The same could be said for the ancient looking leather armour on her body, which had been rendered into rags.

Beside her, Damon was leaning on a white pillar, being on the verge of death. A great chunk of the armour around his waist was torn and blood seeped out from his waist, turning the ground beneath him red.

The most critical part was… Damon’s right arm from the tip to the top of his elbow had been cut off!

A strange light flashed through Newton’s eyes. He gave up trying to kill Pattern Man, then turned and charged towards Sara!

With several jumps, he arrived before Sara. Sara gritted her teeth as she pulled out a dagger from her waist and stabbed forward. Newton easily gripped onto Sara’s wrist, then he twisted…

Crack!

Sara gave out a muffled groan; her wrist had abruptly twisted into an odd angle.

Newton then grinned. A trace of cruelty burst forth from his eyes as he directed the military combat knife in his hand towards Sara’s abdomen!

Sara shrieked miserably. Newton then loosened his grip on her wrist, and with one hand, he strangled Sara, lifting her up into the air!

“Go die!”

Newton howled.

Sara’s body trembled. With her one and only moveable hand, she desperately tried to pry away Newton’s fingers; blood seeping non-stop from her mouth and she spoke out with great difficulty.

“New, Newton… you, you crazy, crazy…”

Newton’s fingers tightened and Sara was no longer able to make any sound. She could only listen on to the “ka ka” sounds emitting from her neck…

As Sara’s eyes rolled upwards, the dying Damon who was lying on the pillar suddenly gave a roar. His body jumped up, slamming into Newton’s figure and causing Newton to stagger.

Newton finally let go of Sara who fell on to the ground, coughing for life.

As for Newton, he had directed his cold gaze towards Damon who was gasping on the ground – the charge earlier had exhausted Damon of his last bit of strength.

Bending his waist, Newton squatted down.

Damon who was on the verge of death, looked at Newton. “Damn it, damn it… Newton! Quick, quickly snap out of it… we, we…”

Newton silently extended both his hands, enveloping Damon’s neck. He then gently twisted…

Kacha!

Damon’s eyes turned over, his final words never to leave his mouth. His head tilted to the side, his life snuffed.

“A a a!”

Sara uttered a sharp scream. “Newton! The Guild Leader will kill you! He will hack you into pieces!”

Newton turned around and stared at Sara. He grinned, revealing a white forest of teeth. He then panted as he spoke out in an indistinct voice. “Awake, Awakened, Awakened ones… all, all must die…”

“Bastard! I am not an Awakened! I, I am Sa, Sa…”

Sara desperately screamed out, but Newton had already rushed forward, his feet landing squarely onto Sara’s chest! Several “ka ka” sounds could be heard from Sara’s chest as her sternum cracked!

More blood spurted out from Sara’s mouth as her breathing continually weakened, then… no more.

At this moment, Newton’s body suddenly shook!

A cold flash of light flickered behind him, piercing straight into him from his back!

It was a scimitar!

Pattern Man was in a kneeling position over tens of metres away, gasping for breath. His body was still in the same posture that he had assumed to throw the scimitar – he had already used up all his strength, placing all of it into this one final blow!

The scimitar was buried into Newton’s body from the back, causing Newton’s body to turn stiff for a moment. He then forcibly shook a little and extended both his hands to his back. Grasping onto the hilt of the scimitar, he pulled with all his might!

A stream of blood sprayed out as the scimitar ended up in Newton’s hand!

He then slowly strode towards the Pattern Man.

Pattern Man no longer have the strength to even stand up. He gritted his teeth, tears trickling down his face as he spat out a roar. “Newton! Newton! Quickly snap out of it! You are going to kill us all! You are going to kill all your team members! Bastard!”

Chen Xiaolian was squatted at the entrance to the square, his mouth opened wide as he witnessed everything that was happening with utter astonishment!

As he watched Newton slowly stepping towards Pattern Man, Chen Xiaolian was wondering what he should do when…

A hand came up from behind him and covered his mouth!

“Wu!”

Chen Xiaolian suddenly turned vigilant and he subconsciously threw a punch to his back.

The person behind him loosened his hand, but whispered out immediately. “Don’t… fight, I am Han Bi!”

Chen Xiaolian turned around and saw Han Bi’s familiar face, as well as his pair of brush like eyebrows.

Han Bi… his entire body was filled with blood!

“Don’t, go over… Newton’s gone mad, he will kill anyone he sees…”


Chapter 28: Final Card

Chen Xiaolian quickly moved forward to prop up Han Bi. He looked at the wounds of various sizes on Han Bi’s body. Who knows just how many blows he had taken to cause him to bleed so much…

Chen Xiaolian showed no hesitation. He immediately produced the last [Mid] class Healing Beast Blood and shoved it into Han Bi’s mouth.

“…Thank you,” After swallowing, Han Bi stretched his neck and looked at Chen Xiaolian. “You… why did you come after us?”

“If I do not come after you, where am I supposed to go? Is there any exit here?” Chen Xiaolian smiled bitterly before turning nervous. “What exactly is going on?”

Han Bi pulled Chen Xiaolian and the two of them hid behind a pillar located at the entrance area of the square. He glanced at the square…

Newton madly rushed towards Pattern Man, delivering a kick at Pattern Man’s chest. This time though, Pattern Man tightly hugged onto Newton’s thigh. It seemed that Newton had not expected Pattern Man to unleash such a level of fighting spirit in the face of death and was caught off guard. His entire body was forced to roll down on the ground due to Pattern Man’s hold and the two of them were tangled together… Newton wielded the scimitar in his hand and inflicted around four successive strikes at Pattern Man’s body…

“I do not know the specifics either… in any case, after we had cleared the iron chain bridge, Newton suddenly went berserk. He seemingly turned delirious and took us for what he called ‘Awakened ones’. He took action and killed Du Ya. After that, we fought while retreating all the way to here… he is too powerful. Even when all the other members of the Wind Slasher Guild teamed up, they were still unable to match him… his strength… is too horrifying!”

Han Bi whispered as he quickly narrated everything. Chen Xiaolian barely had enough time to digest everything when he heard a mournful howl coming from the square.

“Newton! Let us die together!”

Pattern Man had been, at an unknown moment pushed off by Newton and tossed into a corner. This time, he raised his head. The paint patterns on his face were respectively similar to that of a burning flame!

“Die… together!”

Pattern Man suddenly spread open both arms and shouted out loudly!

At that moment, the patterns on his face had seemingly come alive, transforming into strips of dancing golden snakes!

In an instant, numerous lightning bolts rose up energetically from his body and face. Lightning bolts flowed across one another as though they were a formless sword, which then transformed into a dense net. The net enveloped one fourth of the square area that Pattern Man and Newton was standing upon!

Chen Xiaolian could only exclaim in shock. “Damn, what kind of skill is this?”

Han Bi had already grabbed onto Chen Xiaolian and retreated. They hid behind a pillar. “Hide quickly!”

Boom!!

A series of loud noises rang out towards them with an intensity that nearly split their eardrums! The sound emitted by the interweaving electrical currents was incredibly loud! In addition, there was also the sound of the wind mixed in! Even with closed eyes, one could still feel the intense light that was seemingly about to pierce through the eyelids!

Chen Xiaolian and Han Bi had both hands around their heads, yet they were unable to block off the powerful light…

After a moment, Chen Xiaolian became worried. Would he end up becoming blind…

Countless electrical currents interweaved against one another, just like sword edges made of lightning bolts. These then slashed onto Newton’s body! Newton let out a mad howl! Both his hands produced a mass of green radiance…

Instantly, a surge of light flowed through the surface of his body. With a flash, it transformed into an extraordinarily shaped armour! This armour was not made of metal and gave off a highly sci-fi feel. It has a streamlined shape and also seemingly to be without any opening! Bolts after bolts of electrical currents struck Newton’s body but were all repelled by a circular green coloured light… as more electrical currents interlaced with one another, Newton held both hands up in a cross shape before his face…

The noise rumbled loudly, the wind blew with ferocious madness, the light shone with brilliant intensity… and the two figures were completely submerged…

Soo Soo wept; both her knees were knelt behind a rock. She was too fearful to raise her head because above her head, the terrifying person’s corpse was hung upon the rocky mountain wall…

She bit down hard on her lips and tried her best to not let out any sounds of crying – even if Xiaolian oppa was not at her side at the moment, Soo Soo kept telling herself: I must be strong, I had promised Xiaolian oppa, I won’t cry, I won’t cry… I will be obedient…

It was at this moment that an intense mass of light exploded out from afar… it was then followed by a loud rumbling noise, which caused the underground valley area to shook severely…

It seemed as though something was crashing about upon the rocky walls… then, a huge amount of debris rolled down. Soo Soo only had enough time to utter a sharp scream before a stone struck her on her head, causing blood to flow out from her forehead.

At the same time…

On the rocks above her head, Du Ya’s body was being blown by the stormy winds, causing it to sway about…

Pata!

It was unknown where it came out from, but a round metallic sphere dropped out from his body, possibly from his pocket and fell down the ground. It then rolled over to the side of Soo Soo’s knees.

The blood dripping off the little girl’s forehead coincidentally fell onto the metallic sphere…

Soo Soo suddenly heard a strange sound coming from before her…

Zi zi…

Lowering her head…

A sphere of light suddenly burst out! This light then enveloped Soo Soo’s entire body… the little girl yelped out in surprise…

… …

The force behind the criss-crossing electrical currents gradually faded…

The floor surface of the square was filled with interweaving charred marks!

The fiery like totem markings that was originally painted upon Pattern Man’s face totally disappeared while he simply sat there. His body was held upright and yet appeared stiff; within his eyes that was directed upwards, there was only emptiness…

A gust of wind blew… Pattern Man fell onto the ground with the same straight body posture; his tightly clenched fists were finally released…

Ka!

Not far away, a humanoid shaped armour stood, a line of crack suddenly appearing on its surface.

Newton then shook his arms!

The entire armour then transformed into crushed powder! Newton panted and gave a cold stare at Pattern Man’s corpse. After that, he opened his mouth, spat out a huge mouthful of blood, and staggered a little.

His body abruptly shook and he fell down with one knee and one hand resting on the ground. Blood flowed continuously from his mouth and onto the ground.

“We… what do we do?” Han Bi gritted his teeth. “Let us run!”

“Run my ass!” Chen Xiaolian smiled bitterly. “We have no place to retreat to, where could we run to!”

Chen Xiaolian gritted his teeth heavily. “If we want to live, we need to fight to the death!”

Han Bi smiled bitterly. “Fight to the death? You saw for yourself, all the expert members of the Wind Slasher Guild were beaten by him alone! We two noobs… what could we use to fight him to death?”

Pausing a moment, Han Bi’s tone turned despondent. “I have already used up my skill… I do not even have any card to fight to the death with…”

“What does your skill do?”

“… a defensive type, it allows my body to turn into an armour of stone…” Han Bi let out a tart smile. “However, it could not even accept one hit from him. Earlier, you saw the wounds on my body – all he used was one hit.”

“… we are about to go fight that son of a bitch to the death, can’t you say something encouraging?” Chen Xiaolian spat out some spittle and stood up. “Han Bi, if I die… help me with something… ah, that is wrong. Never mind then.”

Han Bi sat on the ground, blinking in confusion for a moment. “Why never mind? What do you want me to help you with?”

“It is all right,” Chen Xiaolian gritted his teeth. He retrieved the Snow Edge and equipped it in his hand before coldly replying. There is neither a way up nor a door down here. If I were to die, he will definitely kill you as well. What is the point in entrusting you with it?”

After saying that, he wielded the scimitar and strode out from the back of the pillar!

“Come out! Garfield!”

Garfield turned into a beam of light and burst out of the system, its body immediately expanding into a Four-Eyed War Cat – however, his body still had many scars. After all, the interval between the earlier fight with the Black Widow was too short. Thus, Garfield was unable to heal from the wounds.

Despite that, Chen Xiaolian had already focused his attention on the kneeling Newton, the Snow Edge in his hand flashed out horizontally!

A cross-shaped ray of light was sent forth!

“Newton! I am coming!”

Newton raised his head to see the cross-shaped ray of light flying towards him! It appeared that he was unable to exert any strength due to his injuries and was actually incapable to dodging this…

The cross-shaped ray of light plastered itself onto Newton’s upper body! His figure was instantly thrown back!

At this time, Chen Xiaolian had arrived before him, the Snow Edge in his hand slashed down before Newton! Beside him, Garfield had utilized its Tiger Rush skill and its sharp claws flashed forward…

“Awakened ones! All must die!”

Newton suddenly roared out!

His firm body suddenly straightened up!

His hands came together to clasp onto the blade of Chen Xiaolian’s Snow Edge! At the same time, he sent out a kick. A low growl could be heard as Garfield had its body sent flying!

Newton’s face was a mask of savagery; his face and nose were covered with lines of bloody wounds! Those lines were none other than the marks left by the ‘Cross Slash’!

Chen Xiaolian who had his Snow Edge grasped by Newton had a sudden foreboding!

Newton’s strength was too shocking!

In the next moment, Newton abruptly moved to the side, closing the distance, then raised his elbow… his movements were as smooth as flowing water, as fast as lightning! Ruthless and straightforward!

As the elbow slammed down on Chen Xiaolian’s chest, he could hear the sound of his bones breaking!

An intense pain rocked his chest and he flew out as well!

After falling to the ground, Chen Xiaolian felt a burning pain raging in his chest. He felt incapable of taking any breath, as though there was a huge rock pressing down on his chest!

It was at this moment that Han Bi finally charged out.

Although Han Bi had taken the [Mid] class Healing Beast Blood, the amount of time passed was too short and the injuries on his body could not properly heal.

However, after hearing Chen Xiaolian’s final words “if I were to die, he will definitely kill you as well”, he understood.

This was a place with no retreat, not fighting to the death would equate to death!

As Han Bi pounced over, his hand had already activated the light sabre. It stabbed down viciously towards Newton’s back!

Newton did not even bother turning around. He simply performed a back kick, which landed squarely onto Han Bi’s shoulders. Han Bi cried out in pain as his light sabre was sent flying off and his figure fell onto the ground.

“Weak… Awakened!”

Newton turned around and gave Han Bi a cold gaze.

At the same time, Garfield’s figure charged forward. With a side charge, it successfully pinned Newton onto the ground! Newton coughed out blood once more. After that however, he sent out a fist that struck Garfield in its abdomen!

The pitiful fat cat cried out in misery. Newton then forcibly shoved it off, grabbing Garfield by its neck and lifting up its massive body.

Then, he executed a standard downward throw…

Boom!

A huge hole was formed from the shock wave! The fat cat lay within the hole, its body rapidly shrinking into its tiny Adorable Form…

“Awakened ones… must, must kill… must kill them all!”

Newton gasped for breath.

At present, Chen Xiaolian had already stood up. He used the scimitar to support his quivering figure.

He exerted all his strength to push the scimitar against the ground, doing his best to straighten his knee that was resting upon the ground.

“Son of a bitch… thankfully it was not used when fighting the Black Widow… my final card, please do not let me down…” Chen Xiaolian muttered even as he vomited blood.

“Goddess… of Dawn!”
