Chapter 529: Killing Venomous Barbarian King

The battle could be triggered at any moment!

Agile Leopard stood upright, the metallic claw of his right hand was shining dark gold, dropped onto the ground, and trembled slightly. His body was originally made up of countless animal limbs, a leopard head, lion tail, tiger claws, etc., and he looked as if he was a monster.

Bang!

A loud explosive bang could be heard from the air as Lin Jie activated Space Movement to strike first and gain the initiative. His Broken Blade was enveloped in a layer of golden light, and Shield Cut was activated. He sliced straight towards the rear of Agile Leopard’s throat diagonally! The angle was so tricky that it might even be difficult for expert Bandits to execute.

“Indeed, you are quite strong!” Agile Leopard moved, his lion tail was flicked at Broken Blade, and the sharpness of the Shield Cut was reduced by half. However, Lin Jie’s attack was exceptionally high! Agile Leopard’s 7,500 health points instantly dropped by 2,192 points. If Agile Leopard received the attack three more times, then he would definitely be killed!

“Hundred Beasts’ Fist!”

Agile Leopard moved! He was on all fours like a wild beast before he pounced towards Lin Jie with illusions of ferocious tigers formed on his tiger claws. He then slammed it down on Lin Jie!

Lin Jie used Rebel’s Fight to block the attack, but who would have expected that Agile Leopard’s lion tail would whip Lin Jie’s face like a long whip and even leave a bloody mark on his face? Lin Jie had even received 800+ points of damage! After Agile Leopard had successfully attacked, he smiled coldly and jumped forward. His swift and violent attacks surged towards Lin Jie like the tide!

Tiger Claw! Agile Leopard attacked, and sounds of the low roars of ferocious tigers could be heard in the air— there were even illusions of tiger heads on his claws. That was the Druid’s skill [Tiger Claw].

Lion’s tail! That tough and flexible tail was like a long whip, with each lash, an explosive swoosh could be heard in the air. That was the skill that only Druids transformed into lions were able to use. It was called [Tail Entanglement] and was similar to the Disarm skill of Warriors and Bandits, where it could temporarily make the opponent lose one’s equipment.

Leopard’s head! It let out soul-stirring roars, that was the [Demoralizing Shout].

Agile Leopard had perfectly made use of all his body parts after he transformed into a wild beast. He even used top-tier techniques like Vanishing Step and Berserker’s 100 Consecutive Strikes proficiently in battle— his attacks even made Lin Jie retreat as they fought!

“Lone Wolf, did you think I would be a mere substitute like Hungry Tiger? So what if you have grasped top-tier techniques? You don’t know how to use them properly! Not only will these techniques not raise your strength, but they will also bind you, do you understand? Today, I’ll let you have a taste of my true strength! The fearsome power of Hundred Beasts’ Fist!” shouted Agile Leopard sternly.

His tiger claws once again broke through the defensive line of Lin Jie’s Broken Blade, and his claws scratched Lin Jie’s face until it was a bloody mess.

-1,029!

Lin Jie frowned and activated Army Obliteration. He did not use it to attack, but purely to defend. He kept on moving backward from parrying Agile Leopard’s attacks, but he was not truly at a disadvantage. In fact, if he was willing, he could immediately reverse the situation. However, what he wanted was to learn experience and technique using this battle with Agile Leopard!

The last time, Lin Jie had a short fight with Falcon, but before Falcon could even unleash his full strength, he had already been captured by Lin Jie and then killed. This time, it was a good opportunity!

After Lin Jie learned the top-tier techniques, he realized that it was difficult to use them in a real battle. Even if it were Berserker’s 100 Consecutive Strikes, which had a cooldown as long as half a month, it was extremely difficult to unleash its full strength once completely.

Why? That was because he was not proficient enough in it!

An up-to-standard technique should be able to attack, defend, interrupt skills, and connect attacks—it should be flexible. For example, Lin Jie’s Army Obliteration could be used to deal high-explosive damage to a single target in a short time, or it could also be used for AOE attacks. It could even be used to block enemies’ attacks, and it was an even better defensive skill than Rebel’s Fight.

However, currently, this person in front of Lin Jie had really ingeniously merged all the techniques together into the so-called Hundred Beasts’ Fist.

‘Once players reach Level 80 and undergo the second job advancement, there will be a chance to integrate skills. I did not know why in the past, but this was why…’ Lin Jie thought in his heart.

There were not many ways for Lin Jie to learn skills in his previous life, so in his skill list, there were mostly mediocre Berserker skills, so naturally, there was no need to integrate skills. Now, Lin Jie had understood that the merging of skills could reach such a high height.

Each of Agile Leopard’s attacks was more powerful than the previous one, and there seemed to be no end in his attacks. Although it looked like Lin Jie was straining to block the attacks, he did not lose.

Agile Leopard shouted loudly, “Die!”

Currently, Agile Leopard was like a bloodthirsty leopard, his eyes were all red, and the animal body parts on him let out their respective roars—the tweet of the oriole, the ferocious roar of the lion, the deep roar of the tiger, and the low bellow of the turtle. The power of the wild beasts gathered to form a ball of energy, which was in the shape of a fist. Within that ball of energy were the head of the lion, tiger, leopard, turtle, and so on. They filled up the sky and swarmed towards Lin Jie!

Beast King Fist!

‘Beast King Fist? It could be compared to the ultimate skill of Bandits, so you knew such a skill. No wonder, although you are a Wild Druid that specializes in transformation, you do not have a fixed animal transformation, so that was to coordinate with your Hundred Beasts’ Fist? Indeed, he was a strategist.’ Lin Jie was slightly surprised—the Beast King Fist’s power could barely be compared with Clomaros’ Kill!

Agile Leopard gave a cold laugh. “Die!”

“Looks like there’s nothing to learn anymore.” Lin Jie sighed and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his aura suddenly changed! He swung his Broken Blade and used Combo Attack of Shield Cut after Army Obliteration towards the Beast King Fist. Blade Auras were released and actually split the Beast King Fist, that rich ball of energy, into small pieces.

“It’s useless! My Beast King Fists is an Epic Skill, after storing energy, my Strength Judgement is even stronger than your Clomaros’ Kill, do you think that you can block my attack? Hahaha!” Agile Leopard laughed heartily. He pushed both hands forward, and there was an outburst of an even more powerful strength from the Beast King Fist, which smashed down towards Lin Jie.

Lin Jie remained calm and turned a deaf ear to what Agile Leopard said.

Lin Jie swung his Broken Blade numerous times towards the Beast King Fist. His sword shook, and the Berserker’s 100 Consecutive Strikes technique was used. Before he completed the technique, it changed into Ice Spirit Slash and Anti-Slash, which followed up the Berserker’s 100 Consecutive Strikes.

Immediately after changing his position, he used Lightning Spear Strike from different angles and connected the attack with Spur. His attacks were getting smoother and smoother, like running water. As compared to the instant damage outburst by Assassins in the battle before, what Lin Jie was currently doing was dealing constant damage.

Agile Leopard’s pupils constricted, and his eyes were filled with astonishment. “You— in such a short time, is it possible that you have already—”

“You are already useless,” said Lin Jie calmly.

The Beast King Fist was already starting to falter under Lin Jie’s unending attacks and was finally pierced through by Lin Jie’s strike! At the same time, Spur was activated, and Broken Blade pierced through that ball of rich energy and straight into Agile Leopard’s throat. Lin Jie waved his right hand, and Blade Auras were released. Instantly, a huge bloody hole was formed at Agile Leopard’s throat.

-2,039!

-2,817!

Agile Leopard’s health points dropped dangerously low, but Lin Jie’s attack continued, and the deadly strike had been thrust!

Agile Leopard’s face was twisted—he was different from normal players as once he died, he would be unable to resurrect. He did not expect that Lin Jie could actually overpower his Hundred Beasts’ Fist! Lin Jie had even learned so much from the battle, unleashing his own sword skill by imitating the Hundred Beasts’ Fist!

He was a professional gamer while Lin Jie was just a normal online game player. By contrast, he was absolutely an expert! However, now, such an expert was actually killed by an ordinary player, how was that possible?

“I can’t die! I don’t want to receive the punishments! Eighteen Massacres, help me, help me!” Agile Leopard’s voice became sharp and ear-piercing as if he was extremely fearful of that so-called punishment.

Who would have expected that Eighteen Massacres would say coldly, “Looks like you are nothing much either. You’ve already taken too much of my resources, and do you really think that I don’t know? On the surface, you are helping to train my guild members, but secretly, you’re the informer for Baili Xuanyuan and have constantly been feeding him information about me. You have no value anymore, just die here.”

Lin Jie could not help but laugh as he said, “Hahahaha! Agile Leopard, why don’t you join my Brotherhood? Help me train a 1,000-man Five Slashes team, and I’ll let you go. How does that sound?”

Agile Leopard’s face was as white as a sheet—he had not expected that these people were all so evil-minded. He gritted his teeth violently and took out a dazzling bright stone.

It was the Stone of Soul Possession! In The New Age, it was an item which only NPCs on the level of Wind Rider Sword Saint or even God of War could have—it could store their souls inside to pass countless of years. Many NPCs had used such a method to escape the change to a new age, allowing them to reach the next age safely.

In players’ hands, it could be used to… seize the control of another’s body!

“Kill me? Can you do it?” Agile Leopard flicked his finger, the Stone of Soul Possession flew away and was perfectly embedded right into the brain of the Wind Earl. Immediately after, Agile Leopard’s body was chopped into two by Broken Blade.

Ding~

—’You have killed one of the six Bosses, Venomous Barbarian King•Agile Leopard, bring its corpse back to the Holy Church, and you will be able to receive rich rewards.’

Lin Jie raised his brows as he looked at the system prompt message and turned his nose up at that message. He activated Devour, and Agile Leopard’s body was instantly disintegrated, splitting into three mysterious runes. Those were the runes that contained the top-tier techniques!

The reason why the system wanted the players to return the bodies back to the Holy Church and promised them rich rewards was to prevent players from learning top-tier techniques through such a method.

Kacha— Kacha—

Wind Earl’s body trembled throughout. His skin and the blood scabs fell from the armor continuously. He opened his eyes abruptly and shone with a blood-red light. He opened his lips, which seemed to be corroded, with great difficulty and let out sounds which were like that of wood rubbing each other. “Eighteen Massacres, Lone Wolf! Die!”

Agile Leopard’s soul had controlled the Wind Earl!

Eighteen Massacres was astonished! He did not expect that the Wind Earl, a Sub-Legendary Overlord, which he had planned to make into his follower, would actually turn into that! However, he was well-prepared beforehand, so he stretched out his right hand and activated the privilege he had from being the Shrine Master of the Blood Sub Shrine—Undead Dominance! Even if it was a Sub-Legendary Overlord, it would not be able to move.

“Trash, I am the Shrine Master of the Blood Sub-Shrine, do you think you can kill me? Stone of Soul Possession? Such a good item, just give it to me!”

Just as he finished, Eighteen Massacres’ palm was directly stretched towards the Wind Earl’s head. He was just about to dig out the Soul of Soul Possession directly.

The Wind Earl, controlled by Agile Leopard, tried its best to swing its long spear, but it was unable to attack as it was completely controlled by Eighteen Massacres’ skill, making it unable to move at all.

Just at that moment, shimmering Holy Light gradually rose up, and a huge chain was formed on Eighteen Massacres’ head—Holy Light Chains!

Bu Yi quietly stood behind Eighteen Massacres with her staff raised up to the top, and Holy Light enveloped it. “Hmph, who told all of you to ignore me?” Bu Yi put her hands together, and the Holy Light was connected to the chains.
