Chapter 21 - Being Killed Instead

Chapter 21 Being Killed Instead

“Armor! It’s armor! I must get it!”

The greatest use of armor was to protect one’s life.

Having powerful armor would greatly increase one’s chances of survival. Even if one encountered someone at level five, they would still be able to escape alive even if they were no match for that person!

The scarred man was almost certain that the person in front of him was most likely a young master of some large family. Otherwise, how could he possess an A-grade weapon and be able to afford priceless armor?

With that thought in mind, the scarred man no longer hesitated and ordered, “Hall, Warren, the two of you seal off all of this kid’s escape routes. Don’t let him run away, understand?!”

“Yes!” the two replied.

The armor’s defense was extremely strong. They might not be able to kill Wang Xu in a short period of time. However, they had more people. As long as they continued exhausting his energy, he would die even if he had armor!

Wang Xu was like an agile ape as he shuttled through the forest. He dodged the iron arrows that kept coming, while quickly approaching the scarred man and the others.

“They’re close!” Wang Xu’s speed was very fast, almost reaching 20 meters per second, 72 kilometers per hour, which was comparable to that of a car.

The scarred man and the others weren’t inferior either. They had two warriors at the mid-stage of level four, and the scarred man was at the later stage of level four. It was a relatively strong lineup.

“Now! Surround him!”

In less than a breath’s time, both sides had already touched. In an instant, a large square shield appeared in front of Wang Xu. The Meteor Hammer swung, and the snow-white broadsword emitted a dazzling light, circling to the back of Wang Xu and slashing at his neck!

In an instant, both his front and back were blocked. The coordination of these three people was almost perfect. There was even an iron arrow dashing over Wang Xu’s head with a whistling sound!

Wang Xu focused his gaze. He performed “Mystic Movement Art” and countless figures appeared. Wang Xu chose to forge ahead and slashed towards the square shield in front of him with the Blood Bone Giant Saber in his hand!

Hundred Sword Lightning!

Wang Xu used his most terrifying move. The speed at which he wielded his sword increased to its maximum. The four slashes he could originally take in the blink of an eye had now increased to five slashes. All of them struck the square shield!

The scarred man was delighted. Wang Xu had actually chosen the hardest shield to break from the three directions. Their blade light and Meteor Hammer would definitely be able to heavily injure him!

“Patter!”

Hall, who was holding the shield, felt the immense force from his hand as the five slashes struck in an instant. His expression changed drastically. Before he could even cry out in shock, his square shield had already shattered into pieces, leaving only the handle in his hand.

The square shield was powerful and could even block the attack of the tail of the Scarlet Snake Beast, but no matter how strong it was, it was only a B-grade shield. It didn’t take much craftsmanship to make at all, and he wanted to resist an A-grade weapon with it? No way!

The scarred man’s blade light and Warren’s Meteor Hammer attacked Wang Xu’s figure fiercely, but both of them passed through him and hit nothing!

All three of their plans had failed, but a smile appeared on Wang Xu’s face. He raised his hand and swung his sword, breaking the iron arrow that was shooting at him above his head. Without slowing down, he slashed at Hall!

Hall had yet to walk out of the huge trauma that his shield was shattered. The bloody-red saber immediately slashed down. It was too fast, making it impossible for Hall to dodge!

Poof!

Hall was split in half from head to toe. Blood, brain plasma, and organs spilled all over the ground.

“Hall!” The scarred man and Warren screamed. Their faces were filled with anger.

Owen, who had seen this scene clearly from afar, turned pale instantly. It had only been less than thirty seconds since they surrounded Wang Xu until Wang Xu killed Hall. Facing such a powerful person, it was useless even though they had more people.

This time, they hit a brick wall!

Wang Xu’s eyes were cold as if he had just slashed a disgusting insect beast instead of a living person. He continued to attack with his large saber and slashed at Warren who was wielding the Meteor Hammer!

“Boss, help me!” Warren cried out in fear.

Wang Xu’s “Nine Lightning Sword Techniques” had top-notch speed of attack. It emphasized speed!

Among all the martial arts in the world, only the speedy ones were invincible!

When reaching the extreme speed, even a leaf could pierce through steel!

The scarred man’s face had already lost the color of blood. He seriously realized his mistake. He shouldn’t have coveted this guy’s A-grade weapon and armor. If they had used their brains to think about it, they would have understood. Would a person who took part in the trial alone simply be a hothead?

The scarred man ignored Warren’s cry for help. He turned around and left quickly.

“Poof!” With another slash, Warren’s head flew into the air before he could even retract his giant Meteor Hammer. Blood spouted out two to three meters away, and the headless corpse knelt on the ground.

“Trying to run?”

The moment Wang Xu took a slash with his sword, he immediately turned around and chased after the scarred man!

When the scarred man saw that Wang Xu had caught up to him, he was shocked. He quickly said, “I lost, I lost! If you let me go, I’ll give you everything in my backpack!”

Warren and Hall were both killed in an instant. The scarred man knew that no matter how strong he was, there was no way he could do this. The man in front of him was too terrifying. He was like the God of Death from hell. He killed without even blinking an eye, as if those weren’t humans but insect beasts. How could he possibly be his opponent?

Wang Xu’s gaze was merciless and filled with viciousness. He spat out a few words coldly, “I only want your life!”

As soon as Wang Xu said that, his speed increased drastically as he caught up to the scarred man, drawing a curve of cold light with the Blood Bone Giant Saber.

Hundred Sword Lightning!

In an instant, five intersecting streaks of blood appeared on the scarred man’s neck. With a “poof” sound, the scarred man’s head shot into the sky, and his headless body fell down due to the momentum of the quick movement, crashing into a big tree with blood splashing everywhere.

“There’s one more.” Wang Xu didn’t stop. He sprinted towards the abandoned building.

Meanwhile, Owen, the man wearing glasses, had already begun to run. When Wang Xu killed Hall with one slash, Owen had already realized that he had provoked someone he shouldn’t have. He immediately abandoned all his teammates and chose to run.

Reality proved that his idea was correct. Unfortunately, he was too slow. In less than thirty seconds, a deep voice came from behind him. “Stop running and come to die obediently.”

Hearing this voice that seemed to come from hell, Owen was almost scared out of his wits and he ran forward desperately.

An archer was best at long-range accuracy and strength control. His stamina wasn’t even as good as Hall and Warren, not to mention Wang Xu, whose speed was terrifying

“Patter!”

Once again, a head flew up with an indignant look and blood splashed all over the ground.

Wang Xu’s eyes were cold. He didn’t know when he became so ruthless. Killing people was as easy as eating cabbage, but he knew that if he wasn’t strong enough today, then the one whose head flew up would be himself!

The cruel reality and the cruel world didn’t allow any mercy!

Wang Xu gathered all their backpacks and equipment and found that not only were there various necessities in their backpacks, but there was also a bottle of insect repellent specially for women.

Women’s bodies would emit a body fragrance that would attract insect beasts. In order to temporarily remove the body fragrance, women would specially buy a bottle of insect repellent. After spraying it on their bodies, the fragrance would be concealed and it was very effective.

Obviously, before meeting Wang Xu, this group of people had met another person, and one of them was a woman. The consequences could be imagined…

“These people are really ‘rich.”

Wang Xu opened the backpacks of the four people. They were filled with parts of the bodies of various insect beasts. There were broken ears, shattered pieces of teeth, half of an insect’s foot… etc. Wang Xu didn’t care too much. He tore open the backpacks and put everything into his.

This was the rules of calculating the points. For things that had already been scanned, the intelligent scanner would record the DNA of the fragments of the insect beasts. They wouldn’t be recorded again if other people took another piece of fragment.

If they snatched someone else’s belongings, all they had to do was tear the backpack apart. The scanner would fail, and the fragments would naturally be initialized again, so people could scan them and accumulate points again. The originally empty bag was suddenly filled with fragments of insect beasts. Wang Xu nodded in satisfaction and continued hunting insect beasts.

“Look, Wang Xu has appeared on the scoreboard. He’s ranked 56th with 586 points. Could he have snatched someone else’s stuff?”

Three Eyes had sharp eyes. The ranking on the electronic screen had just been updated and he had noticed Wang Xu’s name.

“So what if he did? It all depends on his ability. White Sword Old Man has a good taste. Look, Ying Xing has already risen to the top 16. This speed is really comparable to a rocket,” said Silver Armor.

“Hm, not bad.” The dean smiled. It was already quite good for Wang Xu to be ranked 56th. Wang Xu had just become a level-four warrior not long ago. To be able to achieve such a result among so many elites was already pretty impressive.

Besides, there were also the level-five students of Three Eyes and Silver Armor. They were putting their hopes of getting good rankings on the scoreboard this time on the three level-five students. As for Wang Xu? It would be good enough if he could enter the top 50.

“Are these the geniuses that your Extreme Dao Ancient Hall found? One is ranked 16th, one is ranked 23rd, and one has fallen below 30th. No matter what, he’s a level-five student, yet he can’t even beat a level-four student? I think the Extreme Dao Ancient Hall is nothing more than this.” Huang Long walked over again, mocking them.

Three Eyes was unwilling to accept it and wanted to argue with him. The dean reached his hand out and stopped him. “There’s no need to fight. It doesn’t help with anything.”

The current situation was indeed that the students from the Freedom Alliance were in the lead. Out of the top ten, three were from the Freedom Alliance, and there was not a single person from the Extreme Dao Ancient Hall. Logically speaking, they had no advantage at all.

Everything had to be said with facts!

The first place was still Meng Ande, and the second place was the same. However, the third place had changed into a name he had never seen before, Zhang Xinglin!

“Who is Zhang Xinglin?”

“I’ve never heard of any level-five student whose name is Zhang Xinglin.”

“Is there such a person?”

All the big shots began to talk at once. Only the dean, who saw this scene, had a glimmer in his eyes. In the entire hall, he was probably the only one who knew who Zhang Xinglin was. The dean didn’t expect that this person’s strength would be so terrifying. To be able to rise to third place in such a short period of time was truly unbelievable!
