When it came to killing, it was better to get done sooner than later.

It almost seemed that the moment their eyes met, Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng could instantly understand what was going on in each others mind. At such a close distance, Jin Cheng would employ this weapon a gun.

Which could shoot as fast as lightning.

Bang! The bullet was aimed straight at Xiao Yuans face but was blocked by the kitchen knife. She tilted her head to look at the bullet hole on the knife and asked suspiciously: Why are you attacking me?

Jin Cheng wasnt at all surprised by this outcome. He simply fired another bullet.

Xiao Yuan leaned sideways, her movement almost at an unworldly speed, but by this time, Tang Cuo had already jumped in. He grabbed an axe from the storage shed because he had no other weapons at his disposal.

Xiao Yuan was forced to the corner and she yelled out with a petrified look on her face: What are you doing?! Stop it!

But both Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng didnt like talking nonsense. As veterans who had been frequently dancing at the edge of death, they both knew too well the principle of [The villains always die because they talk too much]. If there was a chance they could end the fight, they wouldnt waste their saliva.

Bam! Tang Cuo smashed the axe into the kitchen shelf and all the bottles and cans on it fell out. He immediately kicked the pepper jar towards Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan paid no mind to the pepper jar heading her way, but Jin Cheng fired once again, aiming not at her, but rather, at the pepper jar.

With a bang, the jar exploded and the pepper flew all over Xiao Yuan, catching her completely off-guard.

Cough, cough, cough Even amid her earth-shaking cough, Xiao Yuan still moved around extremely fast. Seeing Jin Chengs gun raised again and Tang Cuos axe almost in front of her, her eyes flashed and she rushed towards Zhao Ping.

Zhao Pings combat style was special ability, which was an ice-type ability that should have an advantage in this blizzard-setting dungeon. But in this narrow room, it wasnt so easy. He quickly conjured three icicles towards Xiao Yuan, but Xiao Yuans dodge was so swift she avoided them almost in a blink, the kitchen knife in her hand pointing directly at his neck.

Be careful! Qian Wei exclaimed.

Zhao Ping gritted his teeth and quickly conjured an Ice Shield in front of him, and the moment the shield was shattered, he stepped back at once. But he didnt think about running away. On his retreating path,he plunged one hand into the water tank right behind him and secretly exerted his energy.

The water splashed and carried a breath of ice into the air, turning itself into a water dragon in a heartbeat and headed for Xiao Yuan.

But where was Xiao Yuan?

F**k! Zhao Ping almost exploded when he saw her figure jumping out of the window. In the blink of an eye, he understood that Xiao Yuan jumped at him in order to escape through the window.

Qian Wei was also very angry. He didnt have the chance to attack yet, why did the Boss already run away?

Shame on him!

Qian Wei and Tang Cuo ran to the window almost at the same time but Xiao Yuan had already jumped out of it, Zhao Pings water dragon barely touching the corner of her shirt.

While jumping out of the window, Xiao Yuan also changed back into Li Ying Juns appearance. The honest young man turned back to smile at them, his smile uncharacteristically cruel.

Bitch, stop running! Qian Wei cried out.

Li Ying Yun didnt listen to him and turned around to continue running, but he totally didnt expect to meet with an arrow. His expression changed suddenly as the arrow scratched his arm despite his very swift dodge.

His blood gushed out and he looked at where the arrow came from Jin Cheng had appeared at the door all of a sudden with a smirk lingering on his lips, the mockery on his face totally exposed.

At this point, Tang Cuo and the others also chased after Li Ying Jun. Zhao Ping touched the ground with his hands and shouted loudly, forming a curved ice wall around the entire backyards wooden fence.

The second Li Ying Jun was blocked by the ice wall, Jin Chengs arrow came at him again.

When Li Ying Jun jumped at Zhao Ping, he immediately ran to the back door, his timing neither a second too soon nor a second too early.

Three arrows were fired in a row.

Li Ying Jun moved left and right and soon suffered another wound on his leg. But Zhao Pings ice wall wasnt that sturdy and Li Yingjun successfully cracked a gap as he continued his escapade.

As he was about to run out, Qian Wei sprung on him.

Qian Wei was a swordsman.

Li Ying Jun was actually stunned at how flawless his logic was.

Zhao Ping and Qian Wei also looked at each other. Indeed there was nothing wrong with such logic?!

But Li Ying Jun wasnt so easy to fool, and he laughed angrily: So what? You burn my firewood, you have to die all the same!

Tsk. Jin Cheng hated such unreasonable people. It was already enough for this world to have one unreasonable man himself. Wouldnt it be messy if there were more? And since Tang Cuo had made such a big move over there, he didnt need to go easy on this Boss.

He smiled and pulled on his bow once more.

Li Ying Jun could sense something coming. Right when Qian Wei and Zhao Ping were still shocked by the wildfire, he swiftly tried to crack through the ice wall. He made another gap in the ice wall, but this time Zhao Ping had no more energy to seal it again.

He ran fast, but Jin Chengs arrow was faster.

It was a metal arrow that seemed no different from the previous ones, but Li Ying Jun didnt dare to take it lightly. From the corner of his eyes, he focused intensely on the incoming arrow and dodged to one side just in time.

But a magical scene followed. The arrow suddenly split into three mid-air, blocking all of Li Ying Juns escape routes.

Li Ying Juns pupils shrank and he quickly stepped back, but it was still too late. Of the three arrows, two pierced through his arm and chest with a force so powerful that they threw his whole body into the air and slammed it against the ice wall.

Crack The ice wall shattered.

Li Ying Jun spit out a churn of blood, but he wasnt dead. His head rose up angrily, a cold light flashing in his eyes as he was about to speak, but Jin Cheng ran in front of him and jumped down his throat:

Where is your axe?

Li Yingjun was dumbfounded again.

Jin Cheng asked again: Where is your axe?

Tang Cuo took an axe from the storage shed as a weapon, but that was obviously not Li Ying Juns axe. Li Ying Juns axe could break everyones defence extremely well, yet he lay here dying without it. Where was the axe?

Qian Wei and Zhao Ping finally came to understand what he meant, cold sweats subconsciously pouring down their backs.

Could it be that their judgment was wrong, and the person in front of them wasnt actually Li Ying Jun?

Whoosh! Another arrow hit Li Ying Juns leg, pushing him another half a meter away. Jin Cheng coldly smiled at him and asked again: Where is your axe?

At the same time, deep in the forest.

The missing Xiao Yuan smiled and offered a black axe to Qu Lis, saying: You take it, and you will be Li Ying Jun from now on. Congratulations, you are officially on duty.

Qu Li didnt stretch out her hand. She clenched her fists so tightly her nails pricked into her palms, and she rode on that pain to retain her last bit of free will: Why? Im obviously here to replace you, am I not?

Uhm. Xiao Yuan tilted her head adorably and said: I also dont know. In short, thats what Mr. Crow said. And its not a bad thing for you to be Li Ying Jun. My serving period is not yet over and I cant go down the mountain for the time being. I have to wait for the next newcomer to come here.

Mr. Crow? Qu Lis head suddenly buzzed as she remembered the fear of being hit by the Great Soul Pendulum. She couldnt help taking a step back, not willing to pick up the axe at all. But at this moment, her eyes suddenly caught sight of a crimson flash in the distance: What is that?!

Hearing her words, Xiao Yuan turned around and saw the flaring flame, her hand covering her mouth in terror. An intense panic shot through her body, for she had never encountered such a situation after so many years here.

Quick, quick, quick, its coming here! Xiao Yuan put the axe in Qu Lis hand without another word and ran away. Qu Li looked as though she was given a burning potato and subconsciously wanted to throw it away, but another dull pain struck through her head.

A familiar chime of a bell followed.

Ding!

Player K26453, officially started to serve her karma.

Not far away, a crow was jumping on top of a tree.

Abominable! Its so abominable! Those two damn humans, they even cause such a blasphemy, they really look down on the great Mr. Crow, they really look down on the supreme Yong Ye City. Im so mad I could die!!!

He flapped his wings and the feathers on his head started falling out. He failed to pay attention to his surroundings for a second and the flames below the tree suddenly burst up, almost roasting his feet. He became even more enraged as he flew up and tried to curse, but the words were stuck at his throat.

A long time later, he finally managed to gush out one sentence

Im so mad I could die!
