"Trivial tricks, and you still dare to show off in front of me? Perfect timing, charge!"
Zhao Tiequan was gradually getting into the zone, while Jiang Kai was covered in cold sweat.
The flames sealed off a large surrounding area, blocking all escape routes. Jiang Kai was like a turtle in a jar, no room to dodge no matter how agile he was.
As the rising fire dragon charged forward, on the other side, Tyrant slashed with his sword!
Jiang Kai's eyes widened, and he let out a low shout, "Deceiving Substitute!"
Boom—an explosive sound rang out. Jiang Kai's substitute was directly blasted into pieces, and in the next moment, Jiang Kai appeared beside the substitute.
"Gambler's Time! Ultra-long-range Shot!"
A dozen throwing knives were fired at Xie Huo.
This time, Jiang Kai's attack speed was twice as fast as before, and the throwing knives shot at extremely high speed—Xie Huo didn't even have time to release a fireball explosion.
Xie Huo quickly summoned a flame air shield.
But what Xie Huo didn't expect was that Jiang Kai's throwing knives this time came in rapid succession and directly pierced through his flame shield.
Previously, Jiang Kai's attacks had already damaged Xie Huo's air shield, and this time, with the ultra-long-range shot, Jiang Kai's attack was boosted by 300%.
Terrifying attack power directly pierced through Xie Huo's fire shield.
If it had been a former opponent, Jiang Kai's strike would have almost certainly meant death.
However, Xie Huo triggered a special effect the moment his shield was broken!
"Flame Armor!"
Boom! From Xie Huo's red outer armor, a burst of flames exploded out, jets of fire shooting dozens of meters in all directions!
It had to be said—Xie Huo's equipment was far stronger than most transcendents!
But at this moment, Jiang Kai shouted angrily, "Combination Mode!"
Compared to Tyrant, a close-range brute, Xie Huo—this long-range, control-type fire unit—would be a constant nuisance if left alive.
Eleven Chasing Death blades assembled in mid-air into an arrowhead, trying to pierce the wall of fire, while Xie Huo's flames surged continuously outward, firmly blocking the combined Chasing Death.
In the air, one giant arrowhead, glowing red, split the overwhelming fire in two—but could not advance another inch.
Meanwhile, Tyrant had already prepared to attack. He didn't give Jiang Kai the chance to pursue and had charged in.
"A mortal-class profession can have such strength? This person must not be left alive! Xie Huo, both of us use our killing moves!"
Jiang Kai looked back at Tyrant, anger flaring in his heart.
The two of them really were cooperating—never giving him the chance to fight one-on-one!
Jiang Kai was utterly stifled; every time he had a chance, the other guy would jump in!
He couldn't drag it out any longer. Zhao Tiequan may seem upbeat now, but his injuries were too severe and wouldn't last much longer.
"Endless pestering, damn you!" Jiang Kai shouted, directly drawing the Purple Lightning Illusion Sword.
"You want to fight head-on? Perfect! Even a sixth-stage transcendent freak must fear me—what are you in comparison!" Tyrant roared, lunging with a sword thrust!
Neither of them intended to dodge.
Tyrant, while attacking, activated Starry Armor—a cascade of metal pieces detached from his armor, floating before him, ready to defend.
At the same time, a black air shield formed around him.
Jiang Kai also formed a translucent energy shield around himself.
At the moment of their sword strikes, Jiang Kai threw a flying dagger emitting black smoke, "Yama's Decree—Wrath of the God of Slaughter!"
Tyrant's floating Starry Armor fragments rapidly layered, trying to block the dagger, but it spun rapidly, piercing through multiple layers of metal.
Jiang Kai and Tyrant simultaneously entered each other's attack range.
Tyrant roared, "Family Execution!" In an instant, Tyrant and his longsword burst forth with a thick, bloody stench, overwhelming.
This move was not only a powerful single-target strike, but also came with a fearsome area-of-effect attack.
In other words, even if Jiang Kai used Deceiving Substitute, his real body would still be hit.
Clearly, Tyrant had foreseen this!
However, Jiang Kai had no intention of dodging, shouting back with equal ferocity, "Moonlit Fairy Trace Sword!"
Zhao Tiequan shouted, "Kill!"
Jiang Kai and Tyrant struck simultaneously—in the blink of an eye, too fast for the naked eye to follow, both attacks landed at nearly the same time!
The Blood-Drinking Overlord Sword unleashed Family Execution. The Purple Lightning Illusion Sword cast Moonlit Fairy Trace Sword. The clash of these two powerful skills unleashed a terrifying force!
Boom! A massive explosion erupted—the fierce airflow forcibly pushed down the surrounding flames.
Xie Huo finally pushed back the combined Chasing Death blades, and turned his head toward the clash.
Even though he hadn't removed his blindfold, Xie Huo always seemed like he could "see."
Behind Jiang Kai, a deep trench appeared. His cyan coat was slashed open. A bloody gash marked his abdomen, and bright red spots now covered his smooth chest, blood seeping out.
But on the other side, the Purple Lightning Illusion Sword had pierced right through Tyrant's chest!
"This—how is this possible!" Xie Huo exclaimed in disbelief.
Tyrant's pupils trembled. "Such... fast swordplay... You actually dodged my attack!"
In the final moment, Jiang Kai had dodged Tyrant's strike!
Jiang Kai snorted coldly and pulled out the Purple Lightning Illusion Sword.
"You really thought I'd fight you head-on? Your crits are strong, your attacks high—that's your problem. You really thought I'd be stupid enough to clash with you directly? You guys have transcendent-grade gear. I don't!"
"But I have one thing you lack!"
Jiang Kai's advantage—was speed!
Both sides had been probing until now, never using their full strength. This time, with Moonlit Fairy Trace Sword, Jiang Kai had gone all out, unleashing the terrifying power of 20,000 agility points.
Additionally, the Fairy Trace Sword had nine levels. The first level required 1000 agility to activate. The one Jiang Kai had just used was the seventh level—requiring 10,000 agility points to use.
Combining both factors, Jiang Kai was able to dodge Tyrant's attack at point-blank range, while Tyrant couldn't dodge his.
"You... you're too cunning…" Tyrant's voice grew weaker and weaker.
Jiang Kai snorted coldly. "I told you—you'd die because of your smartwatch. Go buy 'Fearless Bracers' next time. Better value."
"Oh right, don't worry—you won't die just yet!" At some point, Jiang Kai had retrieved Yama's Decree. He looked at Tyrant, sneering. "This is a gift from Big Bro Zhao."
"Your time hasn't come yet!" With that, Jiang Kai flung Yama's Decree.
It had been a while since Jiang Kai used this skill—because it was too cruel, too inhumane.
Without deep hatred, he never used it.
Yama's Decree launched a frenzied assault on Tyrant. In his seriously wounded state, Tyrant had no strength to resist.
Before long, after holding on briefly, Tyrant finally screamed under a thousand cuts.
"Kill me! I beg you, kill me!"
Jiang Kai snorted coldly, completely ignoring Tyrant's plea, calmly turned to look at Xie Huo.
"Hey, you're next! Get over here and die!" Zhao Tiequan shouted.
Jiang Kai had a black line across his face. When it came to suppressing teammates' momentum, Big Bro Zhao really nailed it.
He must never let Big Bro Zhao drink Ruan Yu's wine again.
The surrounding flammables were nearly depleted, and Xie Huo descended from mid-air.
He stepped toward Jiang Kai one step at a time.
Jiang Kai had assumed that after seeing him kill Tyrant, this guy would at least feel some fear—but to his surprise, Xie Huo only smiled faintly.
"I told you long ago—Tyrant was trash. All he cared about was chasing ultimate crits, but if you can't hit your target, what good are crits?"
"Now it seems, just as I said. Pathetic. A freak-class profession, hadn't even unlocked the seventh stage, and he lost—lost to a mortal-class profession."
"Well, he at least served some purpose."
"Jiang Kai, I didn't expect your agility to be so terrifying. And also—you can melee fight!"
Standing three meters in front of Jiang Kai, Xie Huo stopped. "However, a skill of that level—I guess you can't use it again in a short time, right?"
"If that's the case, it's time to finish the harvest." As he finished speaking, the silk blindfold over Xie Huo's eyes suddenly caught fire on its own!
"Seventh Stage—Soul Shift… Fire Qilin!"
