AWB Chapter 220 One-hit kill
Chapter 220 One-hit kill
A phantom of Kunlun Mountain, hidden in a secluded valley.
The sounds of fighting shook the valley, sending stones flying and blood staining the bluestone ground.
The player team and the Golden Core disciples of the Qingyun Sect have been locked in battle for quite some time.
They originally thought that with their numerical advantage and tacit cooperation, they could easily defeat these Golden Core cultivators, but no one expected that these Qingyun Sect disciples would be so resilient and fight to the death.
"Damn it! How come these cultivators are so tough? I've been killing them for ages and I still can't kill them!"
The merman was covered in blood, drops of blood from his dagger dripping onto the ground, and another wound on his arm, making him grimace in pain.
He had just launched a sneak attack on a Golden Core cultivator, but not only did he fail, he was also injured by the cultivator's spiritual energy. The assassin's stealth was almost useless against the Golden Core cultivator's perception.
"Stop complaining! Kill them! The Eldar are running out of mana!"
The robot roared at the fishman while firing its laser cannon. Its mech was covered in scratches and most of its energy was depleted.
Several laser beams shot out, and although they hit the Golden Core cultivator, they could only leave a few shallow marks on the opponent's spiritual energy shield, and could not break through the defense at all.
The Elven race hid in the back, their faces pale, their staffs trembling slightly, and fine beads of cold sweat appearing on their foreheads.
Her healing spells were being released continuously, and she also had to release poisonous mist to interfere with the enemy. Her spiritual power was almost exhausted.
"This won't do... my mana is almost gone, if this keeps up, we can't hold on!"
The Spirit Race's voice carried a hint of weakness, and the light of healing also dimmed considerably.
The cat-eared girl, usually so lively, had lost her earlier excitement and was now filled with anxiety, waving her rabbit wand faster and faster.
"Fireball! Ice Arrow! Wind Blade!"
One spell after another was released, striking the Golden Core cultivator, but they could only barely break through the opponent's spiritual energy shield, and could not harm the body at all.
"Holy crap! This Golden Core cultivator is too monstrous! We can't even scratch him!"
The cat-eared girl stomped her feet, looking utterly frustrated. "If I'd known it would be this hard, I wouldn't have taken this stupid quest!"
The bat-man spread its wings and darted through the air, launching attacks from above. Its sharp claws lashed out, sending streaks of wind towards the Golden Core cultivator.
However, his attack was also blocked by the Golden Core cultivator's spiritual energy shield. Not only did he fail to injure his opponent, but he was also scratched on the wings by the opponent's counterattack, causing blood to flow freely.
"Damn it! If this keeps up, we'll all die here!"
The bat-man roared, his eyes filled with resentment and helplessness.
The werewolf, relying on its powerful physique, charged towards the Golden Core cultivator, swinging its giant axe with each strike accompanied by a whistling sound, forcing the Golden Core cultivator to retreat repeatedly.
Even so, they could only barely suppress their opponent; to kill them was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Although some of the Golden Core disciples of the Qingyun Sect suffered casualties, the remaining few remained resolute, brandishing their longswords and fighting to the death with the players.
They are the elite of the Qingyun Sect, carrying the glory of the sect behind them. Even if they have to fight with all their might, they will never back down.
At the other end of the valley, an old man with white hair stood still, his face so gloomy it seemed to drip water.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes coldly watching the fierce battle before him, and the spiritual energy around him began to stir slightly.
A group of Golden Core Realm disciples were fighting a group of strangely dressed oddballs for so long, and suffered heavy casualties. It was a complete disgrace to him!
"Useless! A bunch of useless trash!"
The white-haired old man finally couldn't hold back any longer and let out a deafening roar, his voice filled with murderous intent and disdain.
This angry shout, like a thunderclap, resounded throughout the entire valley.
The players and Golden Core disciples who were locked in combat were instantly jolted to a halt and looked up at the white-haired old man.
The players' faces were filled with terror. They could feel that the old man's aura had become even more terrifying, and the pressure made it difficult for them to even breathe.
The Golden Core disciples of the Qingyun Sect were so frightened that they trembled all over. They immediately stopped their attack and knelt down respectfully before the white-haired old man.
"Elder, please calm your anger! This disciple is incompetent and failed to quickly subdue these heretics!"
A Golden Core disciple lowered his head, his voice trembling, not daring to breathe.
The white-haired elder sneered, his icy gaze sweeping over the kneeling Golden Core disciples. His tone was full of mockery: "Incompetent? You can't even handle a bunch of ants, yet you have the nerve to call yourselves disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the white-haired old man didn't pause at all. His figure flashed and turned into a blue afterimage, disappearing from the spot in an instant.
His speed was so fast that he left no afterimage. Everyone present only felt a gust of wind pass by and could not see his movements at all.
"Holy crap! What kind of speed is that?!"
The fishman's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. As an assassin, he was already very fast, but in front of the white-haired old man, he was simply insignificant.
The robot instantly went on alert, its laser gun aimed at the surroundings, and its cold, electronic voice trembled slightly: "Warning! Warning! Extremely dangerous target detected approaching!"
Everyone was on edge, their eyes scanning their surroundings warily, fearing that the white-haired old man might suddenly attack them.
But what they didn't know was that the white-haired old man's target was never them from the very beginning.
His gaze swept over all the players, over the kneeling Golden Core disciples, and precisely locked onto the most lively and eye-catching cat-eared girl in the crowd.
The cat-eared girl is a magician with ranged attacks, but she is physically fragile and is the easiest target to kill in the entire player team.
What the white-haired old man had to do was to kill instantly and establish his authority over the entire scene!
The next second, a blue afterimage flashed, and the white-haired old man appeared in front of the cat-eared girl.
The distance was terrifyingly close; the cat-eared girl could even smell the rich spiritual energy and killing intent emanating from the old man.
"what!"
The cat-eared girl screamed in fright, her face turning deathly pale instantly, her whole body trembling, without even having time to react.
She subconsciously released a magical shield, a pale blue shield that instantly enveloped her—the strongest defensive skill she could unleash.
"You ant-like defenses dare to show off your meager skills before an old man like me?"
The white-haired old man sneered, his eyes filled with disdain.
The ancient longsword in his hand wasn't even fully drawn; with just a slight movement, a powerful spiritual energy slowly emanated from it.
hum-
The moment the spiritual energy touched the cat-eared girl's magical shield, it emitted a low hum.
The next second, the pale blue magic shield shattered instantly, like glass, leaving no room for resistance.
"No!"
The cat-eared girl let out a desperate scream and tried to retreat, but she was firmly bound by the spiritual energy surrounding the old man and could not move.
The white-haired old man's eyes were cold. He slightly raised his long sword, and with a gentle touch, the tip of the sword landed on the cat-eared girl's shoulder.
There was no earth-shattering noise, no bloody scene, and not even a great commotion.
But the next second, the cat-eared girl's body was sent flying as if she had been hit by a speeding truck.
boom!
The cat-eared girl crashed heavily into the stone wall of the valley, making a dull thud. The stone wall instantly cracked open, and rubble fell down.
She was covered in blood, with copious amounts of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth. Her cat ears and tail were droopy, and her breath became extremely weak.
At the same time, a bright red system notification popped up in front of the cat-eared girl's eyes:
[Warning! Impacted by the oppressive aura of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, your Qi and Blood have decreased by 80%!]
[Current Qi and Blood: 12%, in a near-death state!]
This system notification exploded in the minds of all players like a thunderclap.
The entire room fell silent!
All the players stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief, as if frozen in place.
One second!
In just one second!
The cat-eared girl in their team, though not the top, was definitely not weak, yet she was beaten to the brink of death by the white-haired old man in one move!
Is this the strength of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator?
That's so insane!
"Holy shit! Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!"
The bat-man was the first to react, letting out a terrified scream, his voice trembling, "One-shot kill? This boss has no sportsmanship! He actually ambushed a squishy character!"
"My god! Is this the power of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator? He brought the cat-eared girl to the brink of death with a single move?"
The merman's face was deathly pale, his lips trembled, and he nearly dropped the dagger in his hand. "We...we're no match for him!"
The robot's cold, electronic voice also became panicked: "Warning! The target's strength far exceeds expectations! We cannot contend with them! Immediate evacuation is recommended!"
The Spirit Race member trembled with fear and hurriedly waved his staff, sending a dense beam of healing light toward the cat-eared girl.
She must heal the cat-eared girl as soon as possible, otherwise, the cat-eared girl could die at any time.
Just as the healing light was about to fall on the cat-eared girl, a cold voice rang out again.
"Even ants dare to make a racket?"
The white-haired old man sneered, and with another flash, he instantly appeared in front of the Spirit Clan.
The Spirit Clan's expression changed drastically. They tried to dodge, but it was too late. They could only subconsciously release a cloud of poisonous mist in an attempt to interfere with the old man.
But this poisonous fog was like child's play to the white-haired old man.
With a casual wave of his hand, a burst of spiritual energy instantly dispersed the poisonous mist. At the same time, he thrust out his longsword without hesitation.
puff-
The longsword pierced the spirit's chest with precision, and spiritual energy instantly surged into the spirit's body, tearing apart her internal organs.
The Spirit Clan's eyes widened in disbelief and despair. Before she could even let out a scream, her body went limp and collapsed.
Ding!
A system notification sounded: [Player Eldar has died! Dropped equipment: Healing Staff (Rare)!]
Another trick!
Another instant kill!
The Spirit Race member, who was the healer for the entire player team and responsible for healing everyone, was instantly killed by the white-haired old man in one move, without even a chance to fight back!
The players were completely overwhelmed!
The cat-eared girl lay on the ground, weakly shouting, tears streaming down her face, "You old bastard! I'll fight you to the death!"
With all her might, she waved her rabbit wand and fired a weak fireball at the white-haired old man.
But this fireball spell wasn't even enough to tickle the white-haired old man.
With a casual wave of his hand, the fireball spell was instantly shattered, and at the same time, a wisp of spiritual energy shot towards the cat-eared girl.
"don't want!"
The merman roared and flashed forward, trying to rush over and block the spiritual energy to protect the cat-eared girl.
But his speed was just too slow.
The spiritual energy instantly struck the cat-eared girl's chest, causing her to let out a shrill scream as her vital energy was instantly reduced to zero.
Ding!
A system notification sounded: [Player Cat-Eared Girl has died! Dropped equipment: Rabbit Magic Wand (Rare)!]
In just a few seconds, both players were instantly killed by the white-haired old man!
Crush them!
Absolute crushing victory!
The gap between the Nascent Soul stage and the player is like an insurmountable chasm.
