“To be buried with you?”
Lin Jie looked into the distance. The General’s Mausoleum was the highest place in the whole General’s Tomb map. From there, he could see the maps such as Hall of Corpses, Hall of Abomination, and Soldier’s Tomb, which had turned into ruins. The whole General’s Tomb was destined to be destroyed under the Sky Collapsing Ground Crushing Strike.
The Sky Collapsing Ground Crushing Strike was the strongest skill of the Wind Earl. Normally, even if the Wind Earl were forcefully killed, it would not use this skill either as the corpses of the soldiers who battled with him for countless years were buried here in the General’s Tomb. Meanwhile, currently, it had been used by Agile Leopard.
The whole General’s Tomb had become a sea of blood.
Agile Leopard let out a sinister smile. “That’s right, you’ll be buried with me. With the personality of that petty Eighteen Massacres, he would immediately snatch your Broken Blade away after you died. It’s already over for you. From today onwards, Codename Lone Wolf will no longer exist. You, who have lost Broken Blade, will become a complete piece of trash!”
Lin Jie said calmly, “It’s not Broken Blade who made me, but me who made the Broken Blade! There is no one in The New Age who would become Codename Lone Wolf just by having Broken Blade. Instead, it’s because of the name Codename Lone Wolf that they have remembered this Broken Blade.”
Agile Leopard was stunned. He was actually speechless. He was clearer than anyone what Heritage equipment represented, and amongst Heritage weapons, Broken Blade was vital as it contained rich treasures! Agile Leopard had been subconsciously thinking that everything Lin Jie had obtained was due to Broken Blade, and even the reason why Lin Jie had been able to defeat him was all due to Broken Blade.
However, Lin Jie had utterly torn apart the lie which Agile Leopard had used to deceive himself. Now, that professional gamer, who had finally lost his earlier calmness, roared hysterically, “Stop f*cking bullsh*tting! Today, you will die here! The Heritage equipment will definitely drop with death, so it’s over for you! Sky Collapsing Ground Crushing Strike! Die!”
Kaboom— Kaboom—
The sea of blood filled the sky, and the mighty waves beat the shore. That skill was worthy of its name, Sky Collapsing Ground Crushing Strike—the sky was collapsing, and the ground was getting crushed, while the endless sea of blood gathered to form an ocean of blood. Meanwhile, the Wind Earl was like the reef in the sea as he stayed completely still. In contrast, Lin Jie was like a single leaf floating on the sea, swaying in the midst of a raging storm and could be swallowed up by the ocean of blood anytime.
“Hmph, die?” Lin Jie faintly smiled as he rose his head gradually. He looked at Agile Leopard mockingly.
Agile Leopard looked at Lin Jie in astonishment. ‘He is still laughing! Why? Why is he still so confident even now? Could it be that he still has something up his sleeves that could solve such a predicament? Even if he wanted to use the Random Teleportation Scroll now, it would already be too late. What can he, a Warrior, still do?’
In the next second, the ocean of blood was like a fierce and savage beast, and monstrous waves were formed. In the next instant, it seemed as if that humongous wave could completely submerge Lin Jie!
However, at that moment, Lin Jie tapped his finger, and the ocean of blood, which had an impressive aura, stopped in the air just like that, as if time had stopped flowing!
Lin Jie clenched his fist, and the vigorous ocean of blood started spiraling around him rapidly. The whole ocean of blood actually gradually started circling Lin Jie with him as the center, and in the middle, there were even whirlwinds of fresh blood formed.
Hwooh— Hwooh—
The bloody whirlwinds started spinning around Lin Jie violently, but he just stood in the middle of them with his arms crossed calmly.
Agile Leopard’s pupils were nearly about to be condensed into a dot as small as a bean from astonishment, and his eyes were filled with disbelief. He pointed his long spear towards Lin Jie multiple times, and the ferocious, bloody beasts formed from the ocean of blood all surged towards Lin Jie while roaring.
“Dispel!”
Lin Jie roared fiercely, and the surging ocean of blood actually stopped.
“I’ll let you have a taste of the Sea Riding skill•Wrath of Sea!” Lin Jie clapped his hands together, and the blood whirlwinds wrapped Agile Leopard like fingers, locking him tighter and tighter, letting out sounds of him being crushed.
That was the final skill of Sea Riding skill, Wrath of Sea!
Giant Dragons made of blood rose straight into the sky and instantly flew towards the Wind Earl! Initially, that ocean of blood had the effect of attacking the Wind Earl, so currently, with the guidance of Lin Jie, it even completely aimed its attack at the Wind Earl. Waves of 6,000+ damage values popped up and filled Lin Jie’s line of view. It was already difficult for him to differentiate whether the damage dealt was from the Sky Collapsing Ground Crushing Strike or the power of the Wrath of Sea.
The tempestuous ocean of blood was like a Stampeding Kodo herd. The fearsome surge of waves lasted for a whole three minutes before they gradually disappeared. Afterward, the ocean of blood finally calmed down, and the blood gradually dried up. The pitch-black ground had already been dyed in the disgusting blood-red color. As he smelled the scent of blood, Lin Jie could not help but tremble. ‘What’s with this sudden inexplicable excitement?’
Lin Jie’s Heart of Enrage instantly started beating as it absorbed the mist of blood eagerly.
Lin Jie walked beside Agile Leopard’s corpse step by step and looked down at him. Currently, the Wind Earl’s health points had already dropped dangerously low. Agile Leopard had been under the impression that Sky Collapsing Ground Crushing Strike was able to kill Lin Jie, but who would have expected Lin Jie to solve the situation so easily?
Now, Agile Leopard had utterly given up. He looked at Lin Jie’s eyes and then took a look at his health bar, which was already at the bottom. He asked in a dry voice, “Why? Do you want to kick a man who is down?”
“Of course not, I’m not that bored. If it were not for our interests that had clashed, I would not have done that to you.” Lin Jie said calmly, “You also knew how tempting the information you know is to me and how tempting it is to the people of this land. Of course, this land is also a huge temptation to all of you. Therefore, you chose Baili Xuanyuan, who could provide a large amount of manpower and resources for you.”
“Haha, you’re right. The higher one’s ability, the higher one’s outlook. Naturally, we would look down on you who was just a nobody to us. Of course, now, I realized we had misjudged you.” Agile Leopard grinned. “Lone Wolf, it is destined that you will go to where we are, we will meet again.”
Lin Jie squatted down and asked, “Since it is so, why don’t you have pity on me and tell me some information? For example, how many people, and resources are there in that land and what’s so different between the two lands?”
“A lot, many differences! So much that you can’t even begin to imagine. However, since it has come to this, it doesn’t matter if I tell you anymore.” Agile Leopard said, “In the age of online games when it was still the keyboard era, normal games all had two servers, the official server, and the beta server. Meanwhile, for us, it was equal to the high-end players in the beta server. We had all the resources and our job is to battle for China, do you understand? We are fighting for our country! This is the honor of being a professional gamer.”
Lin Jie was astonished. Indeed, was it no different from what he had inferred? “However, this game The New Age, it’s far from just that, right?”
“Of course not, In The New Age, it may be more suitable to call our land the country server. However, as compared to this land in The New Age, it lacked many things… Lone Wolf, let me give you an advice…” Agile Leopard’s eyes lit up. “It’s impossible for you to be satisfied with this land only. When you bring the items, which could make us crazy over to our land, you must… be careful…”
“Be careful of what?” asked Lin Jie.
“Hahaha, I’m just not telling you!” Agile Leopard laughed heartily.
“F*ck you.” Lin Jie stabbed his Broken Blade into Agile Leopard’s throat ferociously, and with a hit to the hilt of his blade using his palm, that head rolled to one side. It was rare to see Lin Jie swear, but he was really disgusted by Agile Leopard.
Ding~
—’You have killed the Wind Earl! You received City of 12,000 Light Reputation. Your level has been raised to Level 50. You received 5 Free Stat Points and 2 Fixed Stat Points.”
—’You have leveled up to Level 51…’
—’You have received the achievement [Rest In Peace] and received 200 Accomplishment Points. You have received Accomplishment Stat Points, Health Points +100.’
‘He didn’t forget to leave me hanging even before death, how disgusting!’ Lin Jie took a few deep breaths, it was good that he was not angered. He had always thought that the words of a man on his deathbed always came from the heart. Agile Leopard was an NPC, so he was unable to revive after death, wouldn’t he say a few good words before death?
In the end, Lin Jie was magnificently disgusted by Agile Leopard.
‘Eighteen Massacres is definitely still keeping watch here, it’s better that I leave first,’ thought Lin Jie. He stuffed the whole corpse into the Space Package, including the spoils, and immediately teleported away, disappearing from the General’s Tomb.
Half an hour later.
In the shadow of blood, Eighteen Massacres descended upon the land. He took a look at the General’s Tomb, which was in ruins, but did not find any corpses.
‘Even this did not kill Lone Wolf?” Eighteen Massacres frowned. “Forget it, even if Lone Wolf was here, I don’t have the time to deal with him. My Mystic Skill Book [Blood Tyrant] is about to be completed. This equipment-type Mystic Skill Book will increase my strength greatly. That three-headed dog from hell in the Abyss is almost about to be captured… Also, hehehe, Baili Xuanyuan, those few instructors you have given me, so there was hidden information about top-tier techniques within them? Hehehe…’
…
At Sakura’s bar.
“Videos were uploaded on the forum. The Wind Earl had used a Map Kill, looks like everyone… died.” Everyone in Savage Blade sat down solemnly as they listened to Netherblue reporting her findings.
Upon hearing that something had happened to Lin Jie, those who were out for adventure in the Death Desert and Skyworm Valley all came back.
Zheng Ziliang was astonished, and he asked, “It can’t be Jie has died too? F*ck, then his Broken Blade… Bu Yi, didn’t you teleport there? Why were you the only one that returned?”
Baili Changcheng took a look at Zheng Ziliang and said, “Don’t worry. There is no news of Fu Sheng’s death, and maybe he has survived.”
“It’s a Map Kill! The difficulty of surviving is too high. Even if it were me who had used all my escaping skills, most likely, I would not survive,” said Star Kill. The escaping ability of Bandits was the strongest, so if even he did not have the confidence to escape, it was obvious how dangerous the situation was this time.
Fat Cattle could not help but say, “I knew it! It would be better if the boss had just come with us, he just had to be stubborn! That guy is always red-named, once he dies his level will decrease a lot. By then, he’ll need me, a Fire Mage, to even help him level up. I need to hurry and find a few leveling maps…”
Qiu Yuan glared at Fat Cattle. “You darn Fat Cattle, can’t you just say something good?”
Mixed Breathless stood up and spoke. “Let’s go find him.”
Dejected Night nodded and said, “That’s right. We can’t just sit here and do nothing. We should immediately enter the General’s Tomb. What if others covet lone Wolf’s corpse, we might be able to help. Bu Yi, try using your Ocean’s Heart and teleport…”
Bu Yi was also extremely anxious. She had left by herself while Lin Jie remained there because she would become Lin Jie’s burden. However, now she felt a trace of guilt as it was like she had abandoned Lin Jie and escaped by herself.
Whoosh—
Bu Yi activated Ocean’s Heart, and her body disappeared.
Immediately after, outside the door, a peal of laughter could be heard. “I’ve just returned, and you’ve given me a hug for free, is this counted as a reward?”
