Chapter 436 Battling Xin Lin
A battle between mages was a battle of wits, especially when it came to the [Mana Shield]s of the respective opponents and each person’s control over their three [Dimensional Leaps]. However, since Ru Ji was a quasi-BOSS, she didn’t have [Mana Shield] and can only defend with her own skin, which was going to make it easier for Dong Cheng Yue.
……
“Hong hong hong…..”
Balls of flames and blades of wind flew out. As Dong Cheng cast her spells, she made sure to watch over the durability of her Mana Shield and her health. For the 3-5 seconds after it breaks, [Mana Shield] would be on cooldown and therefore unable to reform. On top of that, if the shield was broken too quickly, then the cooldown would last longer. However, Dong Cheng was ranked 18th on CBN Battlenet, and was one of the top tier mages on Destiny, so, naturally, she had the skill to control the cooldown time.
Once her Mana Shield broke, Dong Cheng used a [Dimensional Leap] to retreat 20 yards. She waved her mage staff and activated [Magma Abyss] to support her as she continued to attack Ru Ji. Her feet never stopped moving as she retreated. When Ru Ji tried to pursue her a second time, she used her third [Dimensional Leap] and appeared in another position, beautifully dodging all the attacks during the 7 seconds cooldown after her Mana Shield was broken.
Afterwards it was much easier. Within the next seven minutes, she was able to kill Ru Ji with a barrage of attacks!
“Ah…” Ru Ji fainted on the ground, the jade flute dropped out of her hands. She resentfully looked at Xin Lin Jun and said, “My lord, I will no longer be able to serve at your side….”
Xin Lin Jun glanced at her and let out a cold laugh, “You’ve already turned to ash and bone, how would you serve me? I’ve long brushed away the small affections I’ve had for women, rest in peace Ru Ji. You were the last woman I had in my life….”
……
Once Ru Ji died, if was finally Xue Yin’s turn. He was the Duke of the Xue Kingdom and a good friend of Xin Lin Jun. He was probably just the Duke of some border territory. Too bad he was just a quasi-BOSS, as his fate was sealed today.
Wan Er took it upon herself to battle Xue Yin. Using stuns and advanced skills, she basically completely dominated this quasi-BOSS. In a short 5 minutes, she successfully decimated him!
The last one was the general of the Wei Kingdom Jin Bi, who was also a famous general of that time. Or rather, he’s pretty much a fake famous general. It says in the history books that when Xin Lin Jun stole the Tiger Talisman to save the kingdom from the Zhao Kingdom, Jin Bi didn’t agree with the plan and ended up getting killed by Zhu Hai from a mace to his head. The only thing was that his position as a commander is pretty dazzling, so his stats are somewhat stronger!
Carrying his long halberd, Jin Bi disdainfully looked at me, “Little wench, I’ll give you a quick death, are you ready?”
I didn’t say anything, just pulled out my Emperor Qin’s Sword with my right hand, and waved my left hand as I let my Cold Iron Sword leap out of its sheath. I used [Blade Spin], and the sword to cut through Jin Bi’s body. I quickly advanced forward and used [Wall of Dou Qi] to protect myself. My Emperor Qin’s Sword let loose a level 9 [Combo] onto Jin Bi’s shoulder, which created 5 damage numbers. I quickly cut at him with both swords once again, and then opened up my palm and activated [Binding Chains]. The bind was a success and trapped Jin Bi for 7.2 seconds. The Level 9 [Binding Chains] success rate was pretty high, even against a BOSS level target. The success rate was 72% normally and against Jin Bi, it was probably around 50%, which wasn’t a pretty good number.
My Flaming Tiger God roared as it leapt out of the pet dimension. He used [Flame Claw] and [Burstfire Raid] as he slashed his claws through Jin Bi. From a distance, I commanded my [Blade Spin] to attack while I cast [Seven Star Fragment Slash] with my other sword. The battle rhythm was completely in my grasp, so this fight wasn’t too hard. In a short 4 minutes, Jin Bi’s health hit the bottom and this time the Emperor Qin Sword connected a superior attack, killing Jin Bi!
“Shua!”
I received an ample amount of experience as well as three pieces of equipment. I picked them up to look at them. The highest aswas before, was a purple tier equipment. I threw them into my bag and looked forward. This quest was entering its next stage!
Xin Lin Jun gripped his long sword, his eyes unyielding, “Seeing as you were able to pass my first test, then I’ll let you have a taste of my skills. I have not dueled with anyone for tens of thousands of years. I will show you all of the skills I have, and if I accidentally kill you all, then you can’t blame me. Hahaha…..”
