Chapter 335: Mechanical Puppet

Amid the flurry of discussions and searches, Song Jian slowly emerged from around a street corner. A dark red longsword in hand, his gaze fixed on the Dwarf Commander.

“Hey, that guy is hiding his name and properties. Could he be the one we’re searching for?” A player perked up, pointing at Song Jian and yelled loudly.

The Dwarf Commander turned his head towards Song Jian for a brief moment, his face drained of color. He shouted, “It’s Song Jian! Kill him, and the reward is all yours!”

No sooner had he said this than a middle-aged man, outfitted in heavy armor and brandishing an assault rifle, made his move towards Song Jian.

“Dadadada”

The muzzle spat out foot-long flames, the bullets in the magazine emptied out in mere seconds.

“Ha, looks like the mission reward is mine!” The man grinned, dropping the empty clip casually onto the ground as he looked towards Song Jian.

Cling clang clang-

The deformed bullet casings rattled onto the ground, but Song Jian seemed no more aware of them than before, continuing his advance.

“Impossible, each of my shots should inflict over ten damage. I fired forty rounds, that’s over four hundred total damage. How could it not even break his defense?” The middle-aged man’s face flushed, he looked as if he’d just seen a ghost.

Song Jian’s talent skill “Thick Skin” could negate any damage below fifteen, which made him the perfect counter to firearms relying on bullet quantity for damage.

Earth Teeth Assault!

An energy ball in the shape of a violent beast’s fang flew toward the middle-aged man. The stirring dust from the ground made it seem as if there truly was a beast lurking below, rushing toward the man.

Boom!

The middle-aged man had no time to dodge and was sent flying by the Earth Teeth Assault. His vitality points immediately dropped by over 70 points;

“Nice defense!” A smirk appeared on Song Jian’s face as he fixed his incisive gaze onto the middle-aged man, whose vitality points had decreased by one third.

Spiritual Sword Control Technique!

Song Jian swung his Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword, creating an invisible mental sword that swooped down toward the middle-aged man above Song Jian’s head.

None of the onlookers could see the trajectory of the mental sword. They simply heard the middle-aged man scream in agony as a number of a light blue 150 hovered above his head, and his vitality points plummeted to zero.

“What, what was that attack? Sword Qi?”

Impossible-Even if it was Sword Qi, there should be some kind of trace, but…”

“Curse, is it a curse?”

The spectators gasped in shock. Song Jian was at least seven to eight meters away from the middle-aged man, and with a simple swing of his sword, he depleted all of the man’s remaining vitality points?

“He just killed an MT from the Iron Blood War Alliance. Song Jian is in big trouble now,” said a player who recognized the middle-aged man.

I have a feeling that it’s Iron Blood War Alliance who’s in big trouble,” added another player somberly.

“Are you putting a bounty on me?” Song Jian approached the Dwarf Commander with a smile.

“Kill him! Everyone, attack together! Kill him and get a half-price discount on any items at my blacksmith shop!” The Dwarf Commander retreated, shouting loudly.

The players all began to slowly back away, leaving a wide-open space. None of those who had accepted the bounty mission dared to make a move.

I he heart of an Iron Blood War Alliance couldn’t survive two of Song Jian’s attacks; any other player who tried was surely asking for death.

Looking down at the wooden box that exploded from the corpse at his feet, Song Jian opened it casually. Inside was a full set of level fifteen white quality defense equipment, along with a level ten white quality assault rifle.

The only item of value was a level fifteen, blue quality shield. Unfortunately, the middle-aged man hadn’t even had the chance to use it.

“Loose change. I reckon it’ll fetch two or three thousand Doomsday coins,” Song Jian estimated as he took the loot.

Seeing that none of the players dared to step forward, the Dwarf Commander’s face turned white. He seemed to have lost all his courage and collapsed next to the furnace of his blacksmith shop.

“Don’t kill me. I can cancel the bounty, and I’ll give you adequate compensation!” Dread filled the Dwarf Commander’s eyes.

“Compensation?” A cold smile appeared on Song Jian’s face. “Then let me collect my compensation with your head!”

With that, Song Jian swung his sword at the Dwarf Commander. His dark red long sword streaked through the air and ruthlessly cleaved into the Dwarf Commander’s shoulder.

“You don’t need to push me!” The Dwarf Commander’s eyes filled with bloodshot strains as he waved the newly forged “Blade of Breaking” at Song Jian.                           0

“Heavy Chop!”

1 he Dwarf Commander roared, his longsword bursting with brilliant white sword energy, sweeping towards Song Jian.

Song Jian raised his sword to block, a great force surged from his sword, causing him to retreat a few steps, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.

“Not bad, a power enhancer?” Song Jian whispered.

At this point, Song Jian’s strength attribute, with the bonus from his equipment, had already reached twenty-two points, while the Dwarf Commander’s strength attribute had just surpassed fifteen points. He was no match for Song Jian.

But this stroke made him retreat. Obviously, this skill has a significant boost in strength, otherwise Song Jian would not retreat.

“It seems like he isn’t going to beat this dwarf,” A player gleefully whispered, as if he was itching to try something.

“Look closely, the dwarf used a skill, and he used a basic attack!” His

companion reminded, immediately extinguishing the budding flames of battle in his heart.

Don t be impulsive. Let’s watch,” The onlooking players exchanged glances, understanding each other’s intentions. As soon as Song Jian seemed fatigued, they would swoop in like vultures. A bounty of 20,000 Doomsday coins was ’ enough motivation for anyone to risk it all.

Within a dozen moves, the Dwarf Commander was quickly overpowered by

Song Jian. The longsword in the Dwarf commander’s hands was discarded to the side, replaced by the scepter he had previously used at the entrance to the Imperial Dragon Demon Palace.

“The honor of the dwarves shall not be defiled!” The Dwarf Commander, whose vitality points had dropped by over half, swiped the longsword he had thrown aside and tossed it into the air.

Clatter clatter clatter-

The longsword floated mid-air, cracks appearing on its blade. Within seconds, this freshly forged blue superior quality longsword shattered. The fragments vanished into thin air.

A low roar came from the sky. A mechanical puppet, taller than three meters, appeared out of nowhere, leaped down from midair, and shielded the Dwarf Commander.
