Chapter 60 - Borrowing a Knife to Kill
I spun around and ran towards the Hell Hound. While running, I punched the ground and cast [Binding Chains]!
Whoosh!
As my fist reached the ground, Feng Han shifted a few ters sideways, and a huge “MISS” popped up next to him. At the sa ti, his pet Hell Hound also wagged its tail as it backed away a few ters. Such coordinated control! Both player and pet moved at the sa ti to dodge my skill!
I needed to kill the Hell Hound first, or else Baby Bobo’s HP couldn’t keep up!
I raised my sword, and slashed towards the Hell Hound. But I wouldn’t have thought that Feng Han kept on pulling the Hell Hound back, making unable to catch up to it. At the sa ti, I felt a chill behind my back, Feng Han’s [Combo] was coming!
Before turning around, I sunk my body downwards, and blocked my back with my sword. I couldn’t block such a strong attack, and my entire body sprawled forward. But I spun my sword around, and I heavily slashed at Feng Han!
“341!”
“Eh…”
Looking at my attack damage, he seed a bit surprised. He took his sword and backed away, and drank a health potion. After taking 3 [Combo] hits, my HP was near empty. I waited for the cooldown of [Heal], and with a wave of my hand I recovered 600 HP. But at that ti, Baby Bob cried out, and died from the attack of the Hell Hound.
I couldn’t chase Feng Han, so I could only spin around and chase the Hell Hound. Since Bobo died, it was only fair that Feng Han’s pet also dies. But I never would have thought that the Hell Hound would wave its tail and run, giving no chance to attack. Feng Han on the other hand recovered to full HP and imdiately took his sword and attacked!
My custom combo was still in cooldown, so I could only use [combo], and pray for the best!
Whoosh!
Within 3 steps of , Feng Han suddenly stopped. A golden hexagram started to appear on my sword, the start of my [Combo]. I couldn’t let it go to waste, so I hastily rushed forward to attack!
Who would have thought while he was backing away, the Hell Hound would attack from behind and interrupt my [Combo]!
“I’m done for…”
My heart went cold and as I watched the glow of his golden hexagram flicker, his sword struck my shoulder 3 tis in succession, and I died!
……
Whoosh!
I appeared at a nearby graveyard, and checked my equipnt. I didn’t drop anything, but I stood there expressionlessly. It was not that my skills weren’t up to par with him, it was…it was my gaming knowledge that wasn’t up to par. This loss, it was really because of the tactics that Feng Han employed…
After thinking for a full 5 minutes, going through what Feng Han did; controlling both himself and his pet, and continuously changing his opponent’s focus while grinding down their HP. Even if I had [Heal] I still got killed easily. Although his tactics were very clear, I could do nothing about it, his reactions were too quick!
Whatever, I would return first!
After 10 minutes, I reached back to my corpse. From a distance, Feng Han held his sword, and sat under a pine tree, He was staring at my corpse, obviously waiting for to revive. He wanted another round?!
Whoosh!
I didn’t hesitate to revive, and because of dying I had lost a level. I cast [Heal] and my HP beca full again. I took my sword, and [Turmoil Sword] automatically activated. I also summoned Bobo out. This ti I needed to counter-attack, or else I would lose again.
Feng Han looked at from afar, and smirked, “Xiao Yao Zi Zai. You’re not bad eh, I felt a bit of pressure. It’s really hard to find these kinds of opponents, Looking at Ba Huang City, there are probably only 10 people who have a strength like you!”
I silently listened, “And?”
“I quite admire you, how about you join [Vanguard]?” Feng Han smiled.
I pointed my sword at his chest, and said, “Admire …is it? Let kill you first!”
……
I stepped on the ground with my Silver-Locked Boots, and rushed towards him. I raised my sword and attacked.
Feng Han laughed coldly as he slowly unsheathed his sword, it seed like he has already calculated my path. With a clang, he took his sword, and with a jump, he was on his feet. The leaves crunched under his feet, and suddenly he extended his leg and kicked!
My body was in the air, but I grabbed onto the chain armor on his shoulders, and my entire body changed its original path. Going around Feng Han, a nearly perfect “MISS” popped up for his kick. At the sa ti, I rolled on the ground, and punched the ground with my left hand. With a clang, I cast [Binding Chains]!
Sadly, Feng Han was very sharp, and he completely figured out my tactic. He slipped back a few steps, and “MISS” popped up for the [Binding Chains]. His sword started to glow, and he slashed at Bobo but at the sa ti, Bobo’s [Combo] also started!
Bangbang…
After the rapid strikes, Feng Han’s HP dropped over 500 points after Bobo’s two attacks! But, Bobo’s HP was only around 100 points now. The Hell Hound growled, and prepared to take his life!
Whoosh!
“ 600!”
I waved my hand to cast [Heal]. I needed Bobo alive, or else I would lose against Feng Han and his pet!
……
I commanded Bobo to back off, stretching out their firepower. Bee Overlords were very fast, and imdiately Bobo backed off a few ters. Both the Hell Hound and Feng Han’s attack ended up slashing air, and two beautiful “MISS”s popped up. At the sa ti, I rushed forward, raised my sword, and used [Combo]! My target: the Hell Hound!
“397!”
“422!”
“447!”
Sadly, after three strikes the Hell Hound still hadn’t died and had around 50% HP.
Growl!
The Hell Hound growled, and it pounced at my chest. I twisted my body, and my sword’s edge skimd the Hell Hound, taking away 200 HP. But within a mont, my HP was below 50% from its attack. I imdiately backed off, and got Bobo to attack the Hell Hound!
“Ah?”
Feng Han suddenly smiles in self-mockery. He never would have thought the tactic he just used would be copied and used by .
With a bang, Feng Han kicked his Hell Hound away, and at the sa ti he used his level 4 swordsman skill [Haste]: Increases attack speed by 8% and movent speed by 4%. After he kicked the Hell Hound, his sword also aid straight at Bobo’s head!
Boom!
“389!”
In a blink, Bobo went into critical condition again. Feng Han’s recovery and reaction ti was extrely scary. In addition, this guy’s ability to adjust to the situation was very strong as well. He was a very scary opponent, or else Yan Zhao would have been able defeat him!
……
I could only get Bobo to run for his life, and I also grabbed my sword and got as far away from Feng Han as I could. He calmly gulped down a health potion, and returned to full health once more. With him and his Hell Hound, I could be killed in a single strike!
But, as fast as I could go, his speed was way superior to mine, and I couldn’t escape!
“Hey!”
Feng Han lowered his sword, and it bounced against the ground, cutting the grass with every bounce. His smile was full malice, and he laughed, “Xiao Yao Zi Zai! You know, you’re quite unique. But do you really think that you can survive when I want to kill you? You’re better off dreaming!”
“……”
I didn’t stop moving. My attacks and tactics had been seen through by Feng Han so I had no way out. To be honest, if my gaming skill wasn’t so bad, previously in [Conquest] I wouldn’t have been ranked over 3 millionth place.
……
Behind , Feng Han ca closer and closer. I could almost feel Feng Han’s sword on my back, it was a really bad feeling, but I couldn’t do anything about it. My pet control wasn’t impressive, and Bobo’s attack patterns were quite foreign to . I really couldn’t see any chance of winning. [Combo] and my custom combo were really easily broken or dodged by him, and I couldn’t land a sure attack!
I scanned around , and within the forest, I saw 3 level 39 Ice Rats scuttling around. An idea popped up into my mind, and it seed possible. Should I try it out?
Holding my sword, I got Bobo to follow . A few seconds later we reached the hill, and with a jump, we disappeared into the forest!
Whoosh!
I stepped on so turnips, and my entire body rolled towards so bushes. The 3 Ice Rats imdiately started to chirp, and within 10 yards in front of , they started casting [Ice Cone]!
Behind , Feng Han smiled arrogantly, “Don’t pointlessly struggle Xiao Yao Zi Zai…”
I turned around, and as those 3 Ice Rats fired their [Ice Cones] at , I put away my sword, and I punched towards Bobo! At the sa ti, after Bobo received my punch, he also raised his stinger, and stung my chest. We exchanged attacks!
……
“Damn!” Feng Han’s face went green, “Damn it, how did I not think of it…”
That’s right, aggro diversion!
Aggro diversion was a rule for wild monsters. Originally, the 3 Ice Rats’s aggro were on , but since I was attacking sothing else, their aggro imdiately changed, and also Bobo attacked , so as a result the aggro landed on the player behind , Feng Han, who wasn’t attacking anyone!
Rustle rustle…
The three [Ice Cones] flew out, and they brought three damage numbers——
“276!”
“298!”
“304!”
……
Feng Han’s HP was nearly gone, and his entire body was coated with a layer of frost from the attack, lowering his movent speed. At the sa ti, that Hell Hound growled as it pounced towards . He decided that if he died, the Hell Hound would kill as well!
Whoosh!
I held my sword and dashed towards Feng Han, and with a low yell, and 0.2 seconds of preparation, I released [Wind Blade], aid at Feng Han’s neck! He had been slowed so it didn’t matter how powerful or quick he was, he wouldn’t be able to dodge this!
“Gah, I don’t accept this…”
Feng Han only said that, and then his body went limp, and fell on the grass.
“579!”
……
The Hell Hound also disappeared with him and I returned my sword back to the sheath. Feng Han dropped a couple of health potions and nothing else. I imdiately ran out of the Ice Rats’s attack range. After running a few hundred ters, I finally got rid of the aggro.
I took a deep breath. At least I killed him once in revenge. I should switch areas to grind, this wasn’t a place where I should stay…
Through the night, on the other side of the forest, I killed countless Ice Rats, and I returned to level 32. Feng Han also didn’t appear again. He was level 37 originally, and pretty close to Yan Zhao in the leaderboard, but with my [Wind Blade], he went back down to level 36 so was probably monster killing to get his levels back.
