Chapter 40

“Rustle…”

“Rustle…”

“Rustle…”

His shoes stepped on the bushes, making the sound of the grass rustling.

Lu Qingge hummed a little tune, his steps light.

He seemed to be at ease, but his gaze was fixed on the distant forest.

But at this moment.

However, Lu Qingge’s attention was focused on the spot behind him.

Someone seemed to be following him.

Just now, Lu Qingge keenly sensed it.

The sounds around him didn’t seem to be right.

Because this place was too quiet, as long as there was the slightest movement, it would cause a very obvious commotion.

In the past, he definitely would not have noticed or paid attention to the rustling sounds coming from behind him.

However, in the current environment, it was as clear as a drum beat.

Both sides had already noticed each other’s existence.

What was happening in the forest was nothing more than a silent and somewhat lengthy probe.

And just a few moments ago, Lu Qingge had also taken out a bottle of [Stamina Potion] and drank it without hesitation.

He didn’t know what the other party’s intentions were. But just in case, he had to make preparations in advance.

Whether he wanted to fight or run, this provided him with enough physical support.

‘Could it be [Red Name] players?’ Lu Qingge thought.

In fact, Lu Qingge had considered this possibility.

In the depths of Gran Forest, there was indeed a group of players who attacked and plundered other adventurers for a living.

But the problem was that he was only at Level 1!

With the poor equipment he was wearing, even a Thief would have to throw a handful of rice before leaving, let alone a [Red Name].

Attacking other players in the wild would not reduce his [Morality] by much.

However, [Red Names] were not idle. There was no need for them to pick a sheep without fur.

Therefore, Lu Qingge was very confused. What were these people trying to do?

However, the next moment, the answer to this question came.

Because –

This group of people immediately stopped pretending.

The sound of dense footsteps and the sound of the wind suddenly came from behind.

Lu Qingge, who was already prepared, immediately turned around and swung his [Black Iron Sword].

This attack also met the opponent’s sword.

Clang!

The swords on both sides emitted a metallic sound.

Lu Qingge’s wrist was slightly numb, and he was pushed back ten centimeters.

He looked up. There were three of them.

The one who had attacked him just now was a man with a buzz cut.

The muscles on his body made it obvious that he was a strength-type Swordsman who was walking in the direction of the Berserker.

[Black Iron Sword Durability: 95/100]

Seeing the notification on the interface, Lu Qingge frowned slightly.

‘You damn stinky boor, you’re really not elegant.’

‘This is Uncle Reyna’s sword, hey, I’m going to have to pay for it now!’

“Liang Bro. This person’s strength is indeed very average.”

The buzz-cut man, who had retreated slightly into the group, said to Xu Liang, who was beside him,

“The preliminary judgment is that he should be a Level 3 players, Level 4 at max. If nothing unexpected happens, we will only need one minute to kill and bury them.”

The main purpose of the buzz-cut man’s sword attack was to test his opponent’s strength.

Now it seemed that…

If he had used his full strength just now, he could have at least cleared off half of this weakling’s HP with one slash.

“Then don’t talk nonsense.”

Xu Liang pulled out his mystic sword and said coldly, “Our time is precious. Let’s end this quickly!”

After the three of them exchanged glances, they immediately raised their swords and strode towards Lu Qingge. However, what surprised Xu Liang was that the guy in front of him actually had no fear on his face.

Not only did he not run away, but he also raised the level one blue sword in his hand.

“???”

Xu Liang was suddenly stunned.

At this moment, the development of the matter had already begun to far exceed his expectations. So this guy wasn’t panicking at all and even wanted to confront them?

This was really hilarious!

‘Haven’t you heard of one of the three great illusions of life, that I can kill you?’

Moreover, judging from his starting stance, he probably wanted to use [Stellar Slash]?

“As expected of a stubborn and naive newbie. Does he really think that such a low-level trash skill can really deal any damage?” Xu Liang couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Although the leather armor he was wearing was only of the White grade, it was more than enough to deal with the newbie’s Stellar Slash.

Even an [Aerial Slash] at close range might not be able to deal much damage to him, let alone [Stellar Slash].

Not to mention that the one charging at the front was the thick-skinned man with no strength. Therefore, Xu Liang was too lazy to dodge this guy’s attack. He only needed to take some damage. Then he could instantly kill him with a single sword while he was in the state of [Backswing].

Moreover, this silly fellow didn’t even have a single piece of defensive equipment on him!

If he really wanted to be ruthless, wouldn’t it be as simple as killing a chicken?

However, this person really raised his hand and slashed out a sword qi.

Stellar Slash!

Lu Qingge shouted in his heart.

In the next moment, Xu Liang was dumbfounded.

This was because the sword aura released by the other party was not the bright yellow color of a normal Stellar Slash.

Instead, it was a thunder-like silver!

The speed of the silver sword qi was also beyond their expectations.

“F*ck!?”

“What’s this?!”

The buzz-cut man trembled in fear.

He subconsciously raised his greatsword to block, but it was too late.

The sword qi infused with lightning rushed towards his face, hitting him directly.

Boom!

A loud explosion sounded.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The blazing electric current instantly ran through the meridians in his body and rampaged.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

The feeling of being electrocuted instantly broke the buzz cut man’s rationality.

He put on a mask of pain, and let out a pitiful wail like a pig being slaughtered.

[-158]

The damage value also popped up above his head.

But this was not the end.

After the thunderstorm, countless silver snake-like electric currents appeared in the air.

They were like hungry beasts that were ready to move, swimming quickly between the three of them.

What followed was a series of violent chain lightning attacks.

[-79]

[-42]

[-20]

[…]

[…]

..

A large number of damage values were scattered.

The three people who suffered this Stellar Slash screamed in pain.

The numbness of the electric current forced them to kneel on the ground, their expressions and postures extremely miserable.

“Oh no…”

Xu Liang was extremely shocked.

He had completely underestimated this guy!

How was this [Stellar Slash]?

The damage was ridiculously high, and the control was sufficient…

It was clearly an extremely rare [Special Skill]!

“This kid is only Level 3 or 4, how can he learn such a skill?!”

Thinking of this, Xu Liang’s pupils trembled violently.

He was kneeling on the ground, his face extremely pale.

This time…

There might really be an accident.
