“What?!”
Wang Jian raises his sword and says angrily, “Isn’t Xiao Yao Zi Zai is a strength type healer? This…how can a healer with .5 growth in strength use a Level 4 [Combo] to oneshot Ba Qi?!”
Li Mu points at me with his sword and yells, “Stop talking and kill him already!”
I get hit by two more arrows in my back and lose 400+ HP. General Lian Po’s archery is way too strong. Facing me, Li Mu thrusts his sword towards me with exceptional speed! The player ranked just second to Yan Zhao, he is indeed strong!
Clang!
I powerfully swing my sword as I step backwards into the shallow water with my Silver boots. Li Mu’s sword is forcefully knocked away with a clang. The surprise in his eyes becomes very obvious, he was mistaken to think that a healer’s attack damage and strength can be enough to knock him away.
Although I knocked the edge of his sword away, Li Mu reacts quickly. He bends and suddenly leaps forward, and he kicks my chest with his boot!
“171!”
I roll into the water with a dull feeling in my chest. I clench my fists and thrust them into the surface of the water. A row of chains break through the water, encircling Lian Po
Whoosh!
General Lian Po gets bound by the chains for 2.1 seconds. At the same time, Baby Bobo also appears behind him, buzzing around while a golden hexagram starts to appear on his stinger.
“Ah damn…”
Lian Po curses, and falls on the ground, killed within moments.
Bang!
As I was focusing on killing Lian Po, I receive yet another blow from behind and multiple pets start chasing me around. Wang Jian comes rushing at me with the edge of his sword glowing, indicating a [Combo] cast, and the only thing I can do is keep backing away. While doing that though, I wave my hand, and cast [Heal]!
“+600!”
Lian Po curses, and falls on the ground, killed within moments.
Bang!

“+600!”
Li Mu appears at my side and attacks together with Wang Jian. Although my body is in the game, I flick my Jade Sword out of reflex and with a bang, it hits Li Mu’s wrist. At the same time I yell loudly, and the wind concentrates around my blade. With a teal glow lingering on my sword, I quickly slash toward Wang Jian’s shoulders.
“Careful!” Li Mu yells out.
Wang Jian frowns and backs away quickly and calmly. He saw the wind gather at my blade and backed away immediately. As soon as the strike fishes preparing, I slash at him but only manage to scratch at his shadow; a huge “MISS” pops up. I stare wide-eyed at the empty space where Wang Jian was. Damn, the [Wind Blade] strike missed. What kind of reaction time does Wang Jian have?!
At the same time, Li Mu leans forward. His shoulder heavily bumping my exposed side. With a bang, I lose balance and enter a state of immobility. I can’t do anything for 0.5 seconds!
Li Mu steadies himself and leans down again. A ray of light appears on his feet and pushes away the water, creating a small whirlpool. It’s the beginning of a combo! Damn it, this guy also learned a combo?
“Absolute Authority!”
Li Mu yells out loud. His body and the sword seemingly combine as he stabs my chest. After that is a slash, then followed by a stab and then another slash. After 4 continuous strikes, he bellows and throws his entire body and sword straight at me. With a bang, he flings me into the air, and I lose all control!
Li Mu twists his body, and the edge of his sword starts glowing. The last attack, [Twisted Strike]!
At that time, the damage numbers of the 6 strike combo, [Absolute Authority], finally pop up——
“79!”
“81!”
“76!”
“84!”
“197!”
“514!”
“76!”
“84!”
“197!”
“514!”
That last attack, [Twisted Strike], is really strong. The length of [Absolute Authority] was 1.9 seconds, and the combo itself is pretty original. I don’t feel too much regret, getting killed by such a great combo.
After a sharp pain, I die and became a corpse. I respawn in soul form in a nearby graveyard.
I quickly open my bag and check my items. Ahh, I didn’t drop any of my equipment, but I dropped back down to level 31. I also dropped a few batches of [Chilling Wind Pill]. Quite a shame, those are equal to shining white silver coins!
Still, the happiest people would be those Generals huh? Kill me once, and they get a bounty of 1000 gold. They made quite a big profit.
