“Where do you think you’re going?”
As soon as Xiao Yu heard the voice, he immediately retrieved his [Spear of Naraku] from his space backpack and activated a skill.
[Symphony of the Underworld: Frenzied Song]
[Detected that you intend to attack a reserve player of World sl1122. You need to pass a Will judgment.]
[… Judgment passed.]
The system prompt in his mind was just a minor distraction; Xiao Yu had no time to pay attention to it.
The [Spear of Naraku] emitted a black glow and thrust forward madly.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The [Spear of Naraku] and [Mortal Kill] clashed repeatedly.
The offensive power of [Mortal Kill] grew stronger and stronger, while the [Spear of Naraku] gradually showed signs of weakening.
When the skill ended, Xiao Yu was forced to retreat continuously by Ye Shuangluo.
In terms of strength, he was completely outmatched.
Swish! The blade of [Mortal Kill], imbued with wind and ice elements, came slashing down at him with great force.
[Symphony of the Underworld: Dusk]
A gray mist enveloped the [Spear of Naraku], and it thrust out both quickly and slowly.
The moment Ye Shuangluo’s [Mortal Kill] made contact with the spear, the gray mist surged into his body, and a system prompt echoed in his mind.
[An enemy has activated a skill against you. You need to pass a dual judgment of Constitution and Spirit. Failure will result in instant death.]
[Your Legendary passive “Master of Weapons” special effect (Demon Heart) has activated, negating the instant death judgment.]
Swish, swish, swish!
Several Wraith Soldiers with bows began firing arrows under Ye Shuangluo’s command.
Xiao Yu had to fend off Ye Shuangluo’s slashes while dodging the arrows.
[Symphony of the Underworld: Frenzy]
[This skill is still cooling down.]
Xiao Yu couldn’t believe it. He knew his own skills well; it should have cooled down by now.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t check his status bar in the middle of a fight.
Otherwise, he would have noticed a new debuff in his status bar.
[Freeze (Skill cooldown time increased by 25%, movement speed reduced by 20%)]
Due to the failed skill activation, Xiao Yu exposed a flaw, which Ye Shuangluo seized upon, accelerating his attacks.
Xiao Yu had no time to adjust and was bombarded with slash after slash.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
With each clash, the durability of the [Spear of Naraku] decreased. If this continued, it would soon shatter.
Xiao Yu was pushed back with every weapon collision, quickly being cornered against the wall.
He felt extremely aggrieved. He had always thought highly of himself, never considering other players or natives as threats.
Everything had been fine until he met Ye Shuangluo, and everything started going wrong.
First, Ye Shuangluo extorted his [Red Flame Fang Type III] from him.
Then, he personally came to kill the treasure chest monsters Xiao Yu had been raising to kill before leaving.
The most frustrating part was that he now had to beg for mercy. If the [Spear of Naraku] shattered, he would die a horrible death.
“Brother Ye, I was wrong. Spare my life. I can compensate you.”
Xiao Yu tried to use the same trick as last time, offering equipment to avoid disaster.
But Ye Shuangluo only sneered coldly and even sped up his slashes.
Feeling the increased pressure, Xiao Yu gritted his teeth and said:
“Brother Ye, killing a teammate comes with penalties. You must have some powerful skills. If the system strips them away because of me, won’t you regret it?”
Ye Shuangluo paused his slashes, seemingly not wanting to lose his skills to the system.
Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, his arm holding the spear dropping weakly.
(Ye Shuangluo, you better not give me a chance. If you ever show weakness, I’ll make you understand what pain truly is!)
Splat! The blade easily pierced through flesh, pinning Xiao Yu to the wall.
“What… what are you doing!”
The constant pain made Xiao Yu understand why the player with the most kills in “Eternal Night” kept howling.
Smack! Smack!
Ye Shuangluo slapped him on both cheeks.
Xiao Yu was stunned. He was pinned to the wall and slapped.
“Ye Shuangluo, don’t push me too far!
If you have the guts, kill me! Let’s see how you fight the nearly full-strength ‘Eternal Night’ faction without me.”
“You’re right.”
Ye Shuangluo agreed, then activated [Asura Demon Eye] and slapped him twice more.
“Ah~”
Xiao Yu felt his soul being burned and then thrown into an icy abyss.
The sensation of alternating between fire and ice tortured him, his eyes losing focus, about to lose consciousness.
Ye Shuangluo glanced at Xiao Yu’s nearly zero health bar, took a small red potion (Health Potion) from his space backpack, and poured it into his mouth.
Xiao Yu’s eyes regained clarity, now filled with fear as he looked at Ye Shuangluo.
“What… what do you want?”
Ye Shuangluo didn’t answer, silently pulling [Mortal Kill] out of his body.
Splat!
Xiao Yu’s hands flew off, but he couldn’t even scream.
Because after cutting off his hands, Ye Shuangluo kneed him in the abdomen.
After a series of attacks, Xiao Yu’s health dropped to 6%, leaving him completely defenseless.
“Actually, I don’t mean to torture you. It’s just too hard to heavily injure you without killing you.”
Ye Shuangluo kindly explained, then dragged him outside like a dead dog.
Before chasing Xiao Yu, he had frozen the Mediterranean man.
With a thought, the Mediterranean man was instantly unfrozen, regaining his freedom.
The first thing he did was shout at Ye Shuangluo:
“I warn you, don’t act recklessly! I’m from the investigation team, your superior!”
His words were fierce, but his tone was weak, clearly lacking confidence.
He had witnessed Ye Shuangluo slaughter the members of Team 4.
Although he didn’t know Ye Shuangluo, he knew this young man was ruthless.
Ye Shuangluo smiled indifferently, flexing his wrist and twirling [Mortal Kill], casually asking:
“Do you want to live or die?”
Hearing this simple question, the Mediterranean man gritted his teeth and asked:
“… What do I have to do to live?”
Ye Shuangluo pointed at Xiao Yu, who was like a pile of mud, and smiled kindly.
“Simple, kill him.”
At this moment, Xiao Yu finally understood Ye Shuangluo’s intentions and cursed:
“Ye Shuangluo! You bastard, do you think exploiting a bug will work?!
Just wait for your attributes to drop and your skills to be deducted. I’ll be waiting for you in hell.
I can’t wait to see you weakened and torn apart by ‘Eternal Night.’ Hahaha.”
Ye Shuangluo expressionlessly took another small red potion (Health Potion) from his space backpack and poured it into Xiao Yu’s mouth, then grabbed his head.
Bang!
The Mediterranean man swallowed hard, looking at Xiao Yu’s bloodied face.
“Do it.”
Ye Shuangluo’s voice was cold and emotionless, his blood-red eyes staring at the Mediterranean man.
The Mediterranean man was terrified by those blood-red eyes, but he forced himself to summon his “Dragon Soul Dagger” and stabbed Xiao Yu several times.
“Is… is this enough?”
Seeing Xiao Yu’s health continuously drop, Ye Shuangluo waved his hand, signaling that he could leave.
The Mediterranean man slowly retreated, then started running as fast as he could.
At this moment, he cursed his parents for not giving him more legs. He had to leave Dragon City immediately; it was too dangerous.
Xiao Yu called up his status bar, watching his health drop. He knew his life was truly at its end.
He didn’t even have the strength to take supplies from his space backpack to restore his health.
“I have one last question. You can choose to answer or not. Why did you let me go the first time we met?”
This was his last question before dying. Based on his understanding of Ye Shuangluo’s character.
When they first met, he had tried to ambush Ye Shuangluo. At that time, Ye Shuangluo should have killed him. Why let him go?
Hearing this, Ye Shuangluo smiled intriguingly, squatted down, and whispered so only the two of them could hear:
“Because you were wearing the [Tears of the Hypocrite] around your neck, and your emotions were so transparent, you might as well have had ‘I’m a traitor’ written on your face.
I wanted to see if you would really bring the team leader of Team 4 to trouble me.”
Xiao Yu looked at Ye Shuangluo in disbelief, a look of realization on his face.
So that’s why…
[“Dawn” faction reserve player of World ws8852 has died.]
[“Dawn” faction remaining players: 3]
[Due to the remaining players of the “Dawn” faction being only three, Blood Battle mode is activated.]
[From now on, the positions of the remaining “Dawn” faction players will be displayed on the map in real-time.]
