Chapter 527 - Bu Yi’s Arrival
Chapter 527: Bu Yi’s Arrival
“Bu Yi, why did you teleport here?” Lin Jie’s pupils constricted, he was actually panicking. Even when facing the army of the General’s Mausoleum, Lin Jie did not reveal such an expression at all. That was because he could guarantee his safety since killing him with just these people was impossible. However, it was different for Bu Yi as she was just a Priest!
Bu Yi smiled and said, “I’m here to help you…”
“Leave immediately!” Lin Jie wanted to push her away, but he realized that there were no gaps in the surroundings as the Undead monster, which surged towards Lin Jie like the tide, and the players from the Kingdom of Glory had completely closed up all gaps!
Agile Leopard was already furious from his attack being blocked by the Power Word Shield—such a good opportunity did not come often. He roared madly, “Kill! Instakill that damn Priest!”
Bu Yi’s face, which was as gentle as water, instantly turned cold after hearing Agile Leopard. She said, “Lin Jie, I won’t let you worry. Ascetic Holy Church, Soul Exchange!”
—Battle prompt message: Player Bu Yi has activated [Soul Exchange] on you, all the damage Bu Yi receives in 10 minutes will be transferred onto you, and the healing effect of healing-type skills she releases for you will be increased by 10%. If you die during the duration of Soul Exchange, both of you will receive double death punishment.
Soul Exchange was a skill that all Ascetic Priests could learn at Level 40, but few would be willing to use such a skill. Although it could transfer all damage received by the Priest to another person in 10 minutes, it required the two of them to be within a 10 yards radius. Therefore, it was unrealistic to use it in a battle where Priests would normally be at the back.
Compared to the powerful effects of the skill, the strict punishment of the skill was even more frightening! Since if the damage was gathered, then the chance of death would increase greatly. Unless one had a target, which one could completely trust, such a skill was useless to most Priests.
This was completely a skill that bound people together for ill.
Lin Jie looked at Bu Yi’s resolute expression and nodded. He said, “Alright then! Let’s charge to the top.”
“Go, I’ll protect you!” replied Bu Yi gently.
“Are you flirting with each other? You’re really looking for death. Five Slashes Team, attack!” snarled Agile Leopard.
Five Slashes was a team formed by players who had all grasped the so-called Split Second Five Slashes, like Silent Ghost. They were able to deal high damage in an instant. One could only hear a simultaneous roar as 20 people stepped away from the Bandits. Their daggers swung so fast only afterimages could be seen and attacked Lin Jie.
Bu Yi waved her staff lightly and shouted, “Power Word Shield, Ten Shields Spell!”
What Bu Yi said actually shocked Agile Leopard. His reaction was exactly the same as Hungry Tiger—they had both looked at that fragile-looking little girl in astonishment. Agile Leopard’s eyes were filled with disbelief!
At the side, Bu Yi had already perfectly unleashed the Ten Shields Spell. After a layer of Power Word Shield was enhanced onto Lin Jie, it was the second layer, then the third… A total of 10 layers of Power Word Shield enveloped Lin Jie. The thick and solid Power Word Shield blocked all those daggers outside the light barrier!
Lin Jie was elated, but his Broken Blade swung to the side, and the radiant Blade Aura instantly sliced at the chests of the Bandits! The technique these Bandits had grasped was nothing in front of absolute power. A few unlucky Bandits had been hit by two Critical Hits and directly died.
Lin Jie pressed forward with an indomitable will while enhanced with Power Word Shield—he locked onto Agile Leopard as his target and cleared all obstacles. No one could stop Lin Jie!
Eighteen Massacres looked at the battle situation below him and frowned. “It’s really wasting both water and soap to wash a pig. We have so many people, but they are still unable to kill Codename Lone Wolf?”
Agile Leopard said sternly, “No, if it were just Lone Wolf alone, although it might be difficult, it would not be much of a problem to kill him. However, this Ascetic Priest is extremely powerful— she must have learned numerous high-end skills and techniques of Priests, and her talent is naturally very high. Ten Shields Spell is one of the most difficult techniques to learn within the top-tier techniques, and she was able to grasp it.”
“What’s the use of saying these? It can’t be that you are just going to stand here and watch?” asked Eighteen Massacres.
“Hehe, Eighteen Massacres, how about we make a deal.” Agile Leopard turned his eyes and said, “You just need to continue the resurrection ritual of the Wind Earl, and I will help you kill Codename Lone Wolf. The equipment on him, I will only take that Broken Blade, how does it sound?”
Eighteen Massacres’ eyes turned cold, but he replied calmly, “Go.”
…
Thump—
Just as Agile Leopard was discussing with Eighteen Massacres, he heard heavy footsteps from the staircase towards the General’s Mausoleum. As the last step was taken, Lin Jie’s heavy boots had already landed on the quaint slate of the General’s Mausoleum.
Before him, the Wind Earl’s body was floating in the air and sucking fresh blood. That was the blood sacrifice magic of the Dark Shrine. The Wind Earl’s eyes were already slightly dyed blood-red and seemed as if he would awaken anytime.
Eighteen Massacres’ right hand was lifted, supporting the whole large array for the blood sacrifice.
“Lone Wolf, we meet again.” Eighteen Massacres wore a pitch-black armor and stood upright. He had an impressive aura, and his Abyss Knight’s magic flame was jumping on his armor, giving him a mysterious and overbearing aura.
Lin Jie nodded calmly. “Looks like I have to teach you a lesson yet again.”
Eighteen Massacres smiled coldly. “You are still so arrogant. Since it has come to this, let me see your strength. Let me tell you beforehand, with just the battle power you showed in the Ice Shrine, it will be impossible to beat me.”
“So much nonsense!” Lin Jie’s eyes turned cold, and he instantly released a Blade Aura from Broken Blade, which slashed towards Eighteen Massacres’ right hand! No matter what, Lin Jie had to destroy the blood sacrifice array first!
Clang!
Just as the Blade Aura was about to land on Eighteen Massacres, a huge claw sliced through the air and collided with the Blade Aura. That arm was twisted to a perilous angle, and with a loud thud, that Blade Aura was actually rebounded back to Lin Jie!
That Blade Aura instead hit his Power Word Shield and gradually disappeared.
The sharp claw of Agile Leopard’s right hand dropped to the ground. His eyes sized up Lin Jie as he said, “One on one, do you dare?”
Bu Yi rolled her eyes and shouted lightly, “Why didn’t you say that just now?”
“Very simple, just now we had the advantage in numbers, so there was no reason not to use it.” Agile Leopard shrugged.
“Then now we have the advantage in numbers, so why do you think you can demand a one on one?” Bu Yi was filled with righteous indignation. How could that person so blatantly say something like that? He was simply despicable!
Actually, what Agile Leopard said was reasonable. Since they had the advantage in numbers, why not use it? If it were Lin Jie, he might also say such a thing. Of course, if Lin Jie said something like that, Bu Yi would think that he was a magnanimous gentleman and would not bother to argue.
“Bu Yi, I will fight one on one with him.” Lin Jie waved his hand and turned towards Agile Leopard. He let out a cold smile and said, “I would like to see, as compared to that useless Falcon, what ability do you have?”
Agile Leopard was not angered, but he gradually aimed his sharp claw at Lin Jie’s neck and said, “Come.”
Boom—
Just as he finished, Lin Jie had already disappeared. Only an explosive thud could be heard from where he had stood, and there was a mark of a faint indent on the ground!
Identify!
[Venomous Barbarian King•Agile Leopard] (Dark Gold Overlord)
Level: 50
Health Points: 7,500
Attack: 1,328-1,746
Defense: 670
Special Feature: Wild Druid Specialist
Note: Venomous Barbarian King•Agile Leopard is one of the six Bosses that invaded the land of The New Age, kill it and bring its corpse to the Holy Church in the City of Light. You will receive rich rewards.
Hungry Tiger, Falcon, Agile Leopard, and the other players that had been teleported to the land of The New Age had suffered from unfair treatment from the system. Not to mention that the system had released their names in the system maintenance announcement, as the so-called Six Bosses, they did not even have the attributes that Bosses should have. The system had completely forcibly inputted the attributes of normal Level 50 players onto them and thrown them to be Bosses to be killed by players.
It could be imagined that when players got to learn that the so-called Six Bosses, Dark Gold Overlords only had a few thousand health points, how ecstatic they would be! No matter what, they were Dark Gold Overlords! After killing them, the rewards like EXP, equipment, and gold coins would definitely be in abundance! Then, those few people would become the target for all and be tragically hunted down by players. The system could also easily wipe out these few people.
However, no matter how powerful the system was, it was unable to include human minds in its calculations. There were always some players who would choose to take a new path, such as Eighteen Massacres and Baili Xuanyuan. Not only had they not killed the Bosses after obtaining traces of them, but they had also treated them with utmost respect like VIPs in their guilds to help increase their guild members’ strength. After all, the battling techniques that these people grasped were ahead of time. They were even more powerful than Lin Jie—their techniques were on the national level!
Agile Leopard was one of them.
As for the Baili family’s strength, in addition to the two strong Bandits Yesterday Morning and Tomorrow Night that acted as the go-between, the League had sent out the substitute member Hungry Tiger for negotiations and also accepted Baili Xuanyuan’s guild as a vassal.
The original plan was to teleport everyone to the land of The New Age and help the Baili family to rule over the main cities completely. By doing so, it could provide large amounts of money to the League and could even be used to deal with Codename Lone Wolf, snatching the Broken Blade in his hands. They could even stretch their aims and gather all Heritage equipment in the land of The New Age.
Who would have expected that Lin Jie would destroy the teleportation circle and cause the whole plan to fail? What was more unexpected was that the system had directly given such a strict punishment, making everyone’s identity public to let all players in The New Age eliminate the bug-like existences.
Baili Xuanyuan had instantly grasped the chance to contact the three people, who Hungry Tiger could contact, and recruited them all. He used his guild to protect them and was planning to use them to properly increase his guild’s strength. Meanwhile, Eighteen Massacres’ appearance and the event of Lin Jie seizing the city had given him no choice but to come up with a corresponding countermeasure—giving Agile Leopard to Eighteen Massacres in exchange for the qualifications for all members to enter the Dark Shrine.
Baili Xuanyuan had sent all his members into the Dark Shrine and successfully avoided Lin Jie’s strategy of suppressing him. He then even started storing his strength and was planning to amaze people with the first call.
Meanwhile, Eighteen Massacres made use of himself being the Blood Sub-Shrine’s Master and his job as the Abyss Knight to develop wantonly. He had even received the mission from the main shrine of the Dark Shrine and had come to the General’s Tomb to revive the Wind Earl. As long as his mission was successful, then the Wind Earl would become his follower! That was an even more powerful battle follower than the Mermaid Princess!
Those thoughts filled Agile Leopard’s mind, and his face also became hideous. The bones on his right hand let out explosive crackling sounds, and in the next instant, his right fist had become a huge metallic monster claw.
