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.
I clenched my fist, and muttered to myself. I couldn’t let this go. I needed to retaliate or else the Generals would think I was like a plate of food that they could trample over whenever they wanted.
I ran towards my corpse as I thought about the coming battle. Those 4 Generals were all attack classes, so they had no healer. So I needed to use more reasonable tactics; that would give me higher chances in succeeding. First, I needed to avoid the attacks of Li Mu and Wang Jian. Out of the four of them, those two were the deadliest. Wang Jian could easily dodge my [Wind Blade], and Li Mu had his strong combo.
Or maybe I should be kill Li Mu first, then face the others? If I focused hard, I might be able to dodge Wang Jian’s attacks. I also had [Heal] and health potions, so I shouldn’t die.
Yep, I would do that!
……
I returned to the [Desolate Cloud Swamp], and of course, Li Mu and the others were watching over my corpse, while chatting——
Li Mu said, “Actually, I feel a bit sorry for Xiao Yao Zai Zai. For 1000 gold coins, we grouped up to kill him. I feel like we’re giving the General Family a bad name…”
Wang Jian frowned, “Boss, when we are weak we have to bow our heads. For those 1000 gold coins, we do what we need to do. What else is there to say? After getting the gold coins, we’ll publicly apologize to him. Besides, Xiao Yao Zi Zai helped [Prague] kill us and steal the boss. Killing him is perfectly reasonable.”
Lian Po held his bow, and said with a slight smile, “ Even with the four of us combined, he still killed two. Xiao Yao Zi Zai is very strong. Li Mu, do you think you can win in a 1v1?”
Li Mu muttered, “Without pets, I can win. With pets, I will lose. I heard that Xiao Yao’s pet is a Bee Overlord, 5 star in attack, with 97% excellency…”
Bai Qi took a deep breath, “Gah, that’s really OP……”
Bai Qi slapped his leg and said, “Well, we’ll kill Xiao Yao Zi Zai one more time and then scram. We shouldn’t stay in this area for too long…”
“Mm!”
……
I waited silently for a good 20 minutes. I didn’t want to rush and revive recklessly. I would make my move when they started to get twitchy. I needed to finish the job in a split second!
I looked at Li Mu, Bai Qi and the others. Their gray name status lasted for 30 minutes, and it was just about to end. I needed to start soon! I silently started countdown, preparing my counterattack after reviving——
“3!”
“2!”
“1!”
I revived, and it was time to take revenge!
Whoosh!
I revived right behind Li Mu, and I immediately drank a health potion to fill my HP up. I summoned Baby Bobo and pointed towards General Lian Po, telling Bobo to attack him. Finally, I dropped down and punched into the water heavily.
Clang!
Chains suddenly broke through the water’s surface, and bound tightly around Li Mu’s feet. For 2.1 seconds, he couldn’t attack or defend, and he was not even allowed to drink a health potion.
“Damn it!” Wang Jian reacted quickly, and his sword came flying over.
But, I was prepared for it. I spun around and positioned myself behind Li Mu. At the same time, a golden hexagram started to form on my sword as I combined the level 4 [Combo] and [Wind Blade] to attack him!
Li Mu widened his eyes, and muttered, “I’m done for…”
“228!”
“231!”
“229!”
“418!”
……
I struck 4 times, and Li Mu’s 900 or so HP drained completely as he slowly fell over. Shortly after, he exploded with health potions and a faintly glowing necklace!
I stretched out my hand, grabbed the necklace out of midair and stuffed it into my bag. I took my sword, crouched low, and dashed towards Wang Jian.
Wang Jian widened his eyes, shocked, “Damn, this guy… he’s a sword expert!”
Still, even while facing my attack, Wang Jian didn’t hesitate. He faced the edge of my blade with his chest and, with a whoosh, the Jade Sword cut into his shoulder. But Wang Jian grabbed onto my sword hilt, and with his other hand, his sharp blade started glowing with a golden hexagram, [Combo] + [Heavy Strike] combined!
“233!”
“301!”
“218!”
“+600!”
“357!”
Thankfully I pulled off a [Heal] in the middle of the combo or else I would have been killed right there. Directly behind me, Bai Qi bellowed. I could almost feel the flames from his axe burning my back!
I clenched my teeth and put power into my feet. I leaned down and kicked Wang Jian’s leg. His whole body lost balance, and rolled into the mud with me. That also allowed me to dodge Bai Qi’s attack, and as I continued retreating, I looked at the cooldown on [Heal]. There were 3 seconds left, hurry up and get off cooldown!
Whoosh!
“274!”
Lian Po’s arrow struck again, and I saw the end of my HP bar. Luckily, Bobo didn’t fail his mission and killed off General Lian Po with his combo. Meanwhile, Wang Jian and Bai Qi’s pets, one of them was a Killer Bee and the other was a Green Water Insect, continuously banged on my armor. My HP would drain in the blink of an eye at this rate!
Grief consumed me as I saw my HP plummet. I could only watch as Bai Qi’s battleaxe fell on me while one second was left on the cooldown of [Heal]. No, that won’t do. I must fight to the death. I countered Bai Qi’s [Fiery Axe] + [Heavy Strike] with my [Combo] + [Wind Blade]. Under the violent attacks, I felt a hot pain in my chest as my HP completely depleted. Simultaneously, the Jade City Sword sliced open Bai Qi’s chest. He died as well with blood spurting out!
“Die!”
Bai Qi looked at his own health as it disappeared. He was as sad and angry as I was, “How was he able to kill me too…?”
Wang Jian clenched his fist and stood off to the side with a heavy mood, staring at Bai Qi and I as we went into soul form.
……
Whoosh!
I returned to the graveyard again in my soul form, and checked my equipment first. Mm, Jade City Sword, Armor of the Earth, and the Helmet of Cruelness were still here. I only dropped a white tiered cloth leg protector. That was fine. Oh yeah, Li Mu dropped a necklace for me, let’s see what kind of gift he left me. I took the necklace out of the pack and looked. My mood instantly got better——
【Necklace of Bravery】(Bronze-Tier Equipment)
Strength: +21
Others: Equipper gains 50 HP
Level Requirement: 30
……
Very nice! Added 21 strength and 50 HP. They were just the stats I needed!
