Chapter 96: Counter-Kill

Once the arrow left the bow, there was no turning back. He had already offended Xu Feng. Even if he knelt and begged for mercy now, Xu Feng probably would not let him go.

“Die!” Wang Zhipeng gritted his teeth, a ferocious expression on his face. He locked onto Xu Feng with his mind and began forming another fireball.

Back when Wang Zhipeng and his group had all their previous items swindled by a Wandering Merchant, in his rage, Wang Zhipeng surprisingly grasped the Lesser Fireball Technique. It was thanks to this skill that Wang Zhipeng managed to join the reserve team of the Doomsday Ark Alliance. Originally, he just needed to complete a few missions with Su Yun’s team to become a full member of the Doomsday Ark Alliance. But he never expected to run into Xu Feng here.

“You… you… how is this possible? How can your attack be so high…” Wang Jun trembled all over, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Xu Feng.

“What are you guys doing? Hurry up and kill that guy! This monster is a Three-Star Elite Monster!” Su Yun shouted. He had been constantly pressured by the Giant Lizard Beast, and his Health Points had already dropped below half.

“Xiao Feng, heal me quickly!” Su Yun yelled.

Du Feng was the only healer among the six, but now he couldn’t even hold his staff steady. His whole body shook, his lips quivered; he desperately wanted to turn and run immediately. Xu Feng’s attacks had terrified him.

That archer and Zhou Dayong were killed instantly, with no time for healing. Casting his healing spell required time too.

“De… devil, devil, he’s a devil, ah~” Du Feng screamed frantically, unable to withstand the pressure. He actually turned and ran towards the passageway.

“Think you can escape?” Xu Feng swirled a finger on his left hand, making an Execution motion.

A white light flashed. The Sword Embryo turned in mid-air and slashed towards Du Feng.

Swish~

A spray of blood shot from Du Feng’s back from head to toe. His Health Points were directly emptied, putting him into a Near-Death State. If not for his data-based body, this strike would have cut Du Feng clean in two.

“Heal…” Du Feng raised his right hand, a ball of white light beginning to gather in his palm.

Swish~

The Sword Embryo traced an arc in the air, cutting Du Feng’s throat.

The healing spell had not yet been cast. Du Feng’s eyes dimmed, his raised hand dropped, and he became a corpse.

Boom~

Another fireball hit Xu Feng. This one actually scored a critical hit. Xu Feng’s Health Points instantly dropped below half, and he was also afflicted with a Burn status, losing ten Health Points per second for fifteen seconds.

“Kill him quickly!” Su Yun shouted. If Xu Feng’s Health Points weren’t already halved, Su Yun would probably have turned and run too.

Pulling a Healing Potion from his backpack, Su Yun gulped it down. His Health Points instantly rose a chunk.

Wang Zhipeng was also pleasantly surprised by his own strike, and his confidence returned.

“Just two Fireball Technique critical hits, and I can finish him off.”

He chanted quickly, hot energy gathering in his hands.

“Die, die, why won’t you die!” Wang Jun frantically hacked at Xu Feng. Right beside him lay Zhou Dayong’s corpse, eyes open, neck twisted, seeming to stare at him, as if constantly asking Wang Jun, “Why didn’t you save me?”

Drizzle Mist, Continuous Rain, Sudden Storm. The Drizzle Sword Technique had three moves in total, each move having three variations.

This sword technique focused on defense and parrying. Executed to its limit, not even a drop of water could get through. Attacks from opponents of the same strength could hardly break through the Drizzle Sword Technique’s defense, let alone the fact that Wang Jun’s strength was only Two Stars.

Therefore, Xu Feng, relying on a single long sword in his hand, not only blocked Wang Jun’s frenzied attacks but also divided his attention to control the Flying Sword, killing several people in a row, shattering the courage of the remaining three.

“We are from the Doomsday Ark Alliance. If you kill us, the Alliance will put a bounty on you. Brother, leave some leeway, so we can meet again in the future. How about we stop here?” Su Yun’s body was enveloped in a poisonous mist. His equipment was visibly decaying, and his Health Points were dropping rapidly. If this continued, Su Yun sensed death was approaching.

Xu Feng couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Since when did the Doomsday Ark Alliance ever keep their word? In his previous life, Xu Feng had offended a squad leader from the Doomsday Ark Alliance and was hunted for months. Eventually, someone relayed a message saying they would let him go and stop the pursuit if he paid a price. In the end, Xu Feng gave up a piece of Gold Quality equipment to settle the matter. But less than a month later, that same squad leader ambushed Xu Feng, nearly killing him…

Clang~

With one sword stroke, he knocked Wang Jun’s weapon aside, leaving his chest wide open. Xu Feng’s eyes lit up.

Swift Wind Thrust!

Swish, swish, swish~

Boom~

Instantly, Wang Jun’s body went limp and collapsed, a look of despair in his eyes.

Calmly and firmly, Xu Feng stepped forward and thrust his sword towards Wang Jun.

He withdrew his sword. Another person killed.

With a wave of his left hand, the Sword Embryo returned into his body for nurturing.

“You’re dead! You’re definitely dead! The Doomsday Ark Alliance will fight you to the death!” Su Yun screamed frantically.

Xu Feng had already made his stance clear. Su Yun also foresaw his own death. Tangled up with the Giant Lizard Beast, he couldn’t even run away.

“Xu… Xu Feng, I’m Wang Zhipeng! We’re neighbors, we live in the same complex, remember? Last time I even treated you to a meal…” Wang Zhipeng forced an ugly smile onto his face and stammered.

Only two of them were left now. Xu Feng’s Health Points were also less than half.

“Slash!”

Xu Feng pointed his left hand at Wang Zhipeng. A white light shot from his fingertip, forming a three-foot-long blade of light flying towards Wang Zhipeng.

“No!” Wang Zhipeng’s face changed dramatically. He turned and fled towards the passage behind him.

But how could his speed compare to the Flying Sword?

The Sword Embryo, the size of a fingernail, had a three-inch glow on its surface. Under Xu Feng’s control, it formed a three-foot-long blade of light flying towards Wang Zhipeng.

The sword light swept across Wang Zhipeng’s neck from behind. A critical hit instantly emptied Wang Zhipeng’s Health Points.

Wang Zhipeng felt weak all over, collapsing softly to the ground. A look of despair filled his eyes, and tears of regret welled up.

“If only I had known, I would have…”

A rush of wind sounded from the back of his head. Wang Zhipeng’s consciousness plunged into darkness.

Looking at Wang Zhipeng’s corpse, Xu Feng felt inexplicably relieved. He turned his gaze towards Su Yun.

“You’ll die too. I’ll be waiting for you in hell,” Su Yun said viciously.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Giant Lizard Beast clamped its jaws around his head, lifting him and shaking him left and right. Su Yun’s Health Points dropped section by section with each shake, quickly emptying and entering a Near-Death State.

Roar~

The Giant Lizard Beast bit for a long time but couldn’t tear Su Yun’s head off. Angered, it swung its head violently towards a thick stone pillar nearby, flinging Su Yun against it.

Su Yun, already in a Near-Death State, had no way to protect himself. He crashed heavily into the stone pillar.
