Feng Lijun and the other two looked at the heavily injured Jiang Kai and finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Heh-heh-heh-heh." Ma Du sneered coldly. "Jiang Kai, I have to admit, your strength exceeded our expectations. But against the three of us together—you didn't stand a chance!"
"I can give you a little heads-up," he continued mockingly, "your remaining life might just be spent in endless pain."
Xia Yan gripped his giant scythe, staring coldly at Jiang Kai. "That's the power of bizarre-class professionals. No matter how many advantages you built up as a mortal-class, in front of us—you're just trash."
Jiang Kai looked down at his severed arm, sighed, and shook his head. "As expected, my strength still isn't enough. There's still quite the gap between me and a sixth-rank bizarre."
"The key problem is… I don't have enough treasures. That's a bit of a loss."
"Hahahaha!" Feng Lijun burst into laughter. "Equipment is part of strength too, Jiang Kai. Your legend ends here. Enjoy Huang Jianguo's hospitality down below."
"Break his legs too—just in case he tries to escape," Feng Lijun ordered.
Ma Du added, "Oh, right, Huang Jianguo said he'll make sure you get to see how he tortures your family with your own eyes!"
Jiang Kai narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly lifted his head.
"What… did you just say?"
Feng Lijun cut Ma Du off impatiently. "Enough with the talking! This guy's full of tricks. Disable him now, before anything unexpected happens."
Just as Xia Yan was about to step forward, he suddenly noticed that the little mouse on Jiang Kai's shoulder was staring at him—its eyes full of sheer terror.
It had been like that ever since Jiang Kai's arm was severed, as if it were staring at some kind of monster.
Jiang Kai said calmly, "Little guy, go wait for me over there."
The small mouse immediately jumped off Jiang Kai's shoulder and ran far away.
Xia Yan snorted. "Still not giving up? Don't worry, soon enough you'll be kneeling and begging for mercy!"
Jiang Kai drew his Violet Lightning Phantom Sword, raised his head, and looked at the three of them. "If I told you that I let you injure me on purpose… would you believe it?"
Feng Lijun narrowed his eyes. "I've seen stupid people before, but someone this brain-dead? That's a first."
"Stop wasting time. End him!"
Xia Yan locked his gaze onto Jiang Kai. Something about Jiang Kai's eyes made him uneasy, forcing him to heighten his guard.
Even though Jiang Kai was badly wounded, he still had some fighting strength left.
Xia Yan didn't dare underestimate him—he immediately activated Reaper's Harvest, swinging his massive scythe toward Jiang Kai!
At that moment, Xia Yan's speed reached an astonishing level. It seemed Ma Du's Joint Assault effect hadn't worn off yet.
If his guess was right, Ma Du had transferred his attributes temporarily to Xia Yan.
Jiang Kai gripped the Violet Lightning Phantom Sword tightly. As the opponent's scythe came down with terrifying true energy, Jiang Kai suddenly roared—
"Fate of All Beings! The Doomed Man!"
"Godless Domain!"
In the dim underground, a blinding burst of light suddenly erupted—illuminating several thousand meters of the subterranean cavern.
The light shot through every tunnel in an instant!
The other war gods far away were immediately engulfed by the glare.
"What's going on?! Where's that light coming from?"
"Is it the exit? But why would the exit suddenly explode with light?"
They didn't know—the light wasn't from an exit at all. It came from deep within the Fallen Mine!
When Jiang Kai activated Godless Domain, Feng Lijun, Ma Du, and Xia Yan were all stunned speechless by the sight before them.
A man this injured… could still use such a skill?
Even stranger—Xia Yan's stats suddenly dropped sharply! The attributes Ma Du had transferred to him vanished completely!
"The Joint Assault effect… why did it disappear?!"
At that moment, the three of them heard Jiang Kai's furious shout—
"Moonlit Fairy Step Sword!"
In an instant, a streak of true energy pierced straight through Xia Yan's body!
Xia Yan's Undying Battle Armor couldn't block that terrifying strike at all!
"Th-that's true energy…! How can he possibly use true energy attacks?!" Xia Yan stared at the hole in his chest, eyes wide with horror.
"No way! He just broke through to fifth rank—how can he be this powerful?!"
But Jiang Kai's assault hadn't stopped.
"Time's Not Yet Up!"
A card instantly launched a frenzy of attacks against Xia Yan. "Let's see which is stronger—your Death God, or my King of Hell!"
Xia Yan let out a scream so agonized it tore at the soul.
"Chasing Fate—Combination Form!"
As Jiang Kai slashed his sword, several Chasing Fate daggers shot forth.
Ma Du's Golden Bell Armor should've lasted a while longer—but while it blocked the daggers themselves, it couldn't withstand the devastating true energy imbued within them.
A phantom streaked through Ma Du's body in an instant.
Ma Du coughed up a mouthful of blood, staring in horror at the glowing figure in the center of the light.
"No… no way… I'm—a sixth-rank bizarre… how could he possibly…"
Feng Lijun couldn't believe it. The three of them had worked together to seriously wound Jiang Kai, thinking victory was certain—yet Jiang Kai hadn't been bluffing at all!
At this moment, Jiang Kai's combat power had reached a level far beyond their comprehension!
His true energy attacks were absurdly strong!
"My god… he just advanced professions, and he's already this terrifying?!"
That Doomed Man state… that Godless Domain… what kind of talent was this?! It was monstrous!
In an instant, both of Jiang Kai's opponents were slain!
He had directly killed two people of sixth-rank bizarre level—in seconds!
Before Feng Lijun could even recover from the shock, countless Chasing Fate daggers came flying toward him!
Each attack carried 300% true energy amplification, and Jiang Kai's stats had soared to an insane level.
Ninefold Chasing Fate—just like its name, it was a horde of vengeful spirits hunting for souls!
Feng Lijun didn't even have time to dodge—his whole body was shredded by the true energy daggers like a sieve!
Over ten daggers pierced straight through his face!
When the light finally faded, Feng Lijun stared at the utterly exhausted Jiang Kai. But there was no hope left in his heart—only terror.
"This isn't real… No one can be this strong…"
The little mouse leapt back onto Jiang Kai's shoulder, licking his wound to stop the bleeding.
Jiang Kai smiled faintly and tapped the little guy's head with a finger. "Thanks, little one. You might not be much of a fighter, but your recovery ability's amazing. How about… becoming my battle pet?"
The little mouse froze, seemingly not understanding what "battle pet" meant.
Jiang Kai chuckled. "Just kidding. You don't have to. Being friends is good enough."
After chatting with it for a moment, Jiang Kai walked up to Feng Lijun, looking down at him calmly.
"Tell Huang Jianguo and Liu Yuanxiang this—our feud isn't over. I'll settle it with them sooner or later."
"Oh, right—and since they like torturing my family so much, you can enjoy a bit of Time's Not Yet Up yourself. Yama Order!"
The Yama Order was especially busy today—it flew back from afar.
Feng Lijun stared in horror at the black token approaching him, eyes filled with nothing but fear.
"Jiang Kai—please… please spare me…"
Jiang Kai snorted coldly. "If I had begged you to spare me, would you have? We're all adults here—no need to act like strangers."
As soon as he finished, the Yama Order swept down like autumn wind scattering fallen leaves—launching a brutal assault on Feng Lijun.
Off to the side, Ma Du still had a sliver of breath left. Seeing the miserable deaths of his comrades, he used the last of his strength to pull out a dagger, and ended himself with one stroke.
