Liu Nailiang and his six companions had spent several days almost completing the task, and now all their prior efforts were wasted. Who could swallow this anger?
This also affected his illness. He truly felt his condition easing with the increase in Level, but he didnât have much time left; he needed to Level up faster.
"I can give you the items."
Liu Nailiang said this through gritted teeth. They didnât seem to have any other options, given the obvious difference in power.
Bai Sangyu smiled complacently and nodded, "Good, you have good judgment. I might introduce you to the Knight Guild eventually. In this game, you still need to join an organization; going solo is tough."
As he walked a few steps forward, Liu Nailiangâs face suddenly turned ferocious. He pulled out his Firearms and shot at Bai Sangyu, the bullet with flames spreading like fireworks.
Bai Sangyu held an iron shield that easily blocked the bullet, but one of the people beside him was hit and collapsed on the ground.
"How dare you!"
Bai Sangyuâs eyes widened in anger, completely unprepared for Liu Nailiangâs desperate move. A bright, white Energy Armor appeared around him and he charged forward.
Battle was about to begin.
Liu Nailiang deftly rolled to avoid the attack, but the short man was hit directly by Bai Sangyu and killed instantly, his chest pierced by the shield.
Liu Nailiangâs side was already at a disadvantage, with fewer numbers and weaker strength. Now they lost one right at the start, further increasing their disadvantage.
Su Changxing squatted on a tree to the side, timing it just right, and raised the Silent Spear, pulling the trigger aiming at Bai Sangyuâs forehead.
The Silent Spear, though much less powerful than a Sniper Rifle, was still deadly enough to kill a person.
Without any sound, Bai Sangyuâs body froze in place, his Energy Armor pierced, and a hole burst open on his forehead. His health bar instantly hit zero, and his body transformed into a white light, turning into another form.
Soon after, several more members of the Knight Guild inexplicably fell to the ground, dead.
"They have allies!" shouted a member of the Knightâs Guild, with a slight hesitation in his eyes, thinking of retreating.
They had only come to collect some benefits; dying here wasnât worth it.
Liu Nailiang couldnât figure out what was happening either, but he knew it was an opportunity. He charged forward with his Firearms and shot again, blasting one of the armored Knights away.
The situation quickly turned one-sided. With Su Changxingâs cooperation, the ten-plus members of the Knightâs Guild were mostly killed and injured.
This was undoubtedly retaliation.
The Knightâs Guild people wanted to take him down as a boss, so naturally, he had to target them back. As for Liu Nailiang and his group, he left them alone.
These people should be able to draw some of the Knightâs Guildâs attention. An enemy of my enemy is a friend, perhaps.
"Who was that? Someone was secretly helping us," said the brawny man while bandaging himself. He was covered in blood, with his health nearly zero.
Liu Nailiang couldnât figure it out either, so he said, "Probably not someone we know. This person is strong, at least Level 30. The Knight Guildâs behavior is too overbearing; naturally, someone would dislike them."
"We need to leave here immediately, before the Knight Guild realizes what happened, and head straight to Moâan Manor to complete the task."
Su Changxing had already left, continuing toward the town.
His strength compared to the average player, or rather, the average playerâs level, was just one tier higher, a form of dimensional reduction strike.
Against single players, he could easily kill them, truly living up to the name of a boss.
With two silent bullets, two traveling players fell quietly to the ground, not even realizing the danger.
By the time they reacted, they had respawned beside the main cityâs Resurrection Stone, saving traveling time but at a heavy cost.
"Nothing much of value dropped, but losing this is a bit too much,"
Su Changxing looked at a sock on the ground, his face twitching.
The loot didnât seem entirely random; it appeared that the lower the value of the item, the more likely it was to drop.
With this in mind, they should carry some useless trinkets to solve the loot problem.
But even that couldnât combat really bad luck.
After killing more than twenty players, Su Changxing did find one Mysterious Item: a transparent glass bottle with clear water inside.
[False Holy Water (Rank C Crown, Middle Rank): A deceptive Holy Water from the Church, but still somewhat effective, able to heal a certain degree of injuries and remove general negative effects (including poison, dizziness, weakness, confusion, etc.)]
"This thing might be useful,"
Su Changxing fancied the trait of removing negative effects. It might not seem useful, but it could have miraculous effects at a critical time.
He tossed the False Holy Water into Pocket Galaxy, planning to find a way to clone a more advanced version.
At this moment, Su Changxing was like a true Bloody hand Butcher, with all players he encountered falling to his bullets.
However, he spared the NPCs among them.
To Su Changxing, they werenât just NPCs but real people. In contrast, players were more cold-blooded toward NPCs.
If not for the harsh punishment mechanisms, this world would be plunged into chaos by the players.
The so-called Celestial Calamity isnât just a saying.
Some immortal beings are often much more terrifying than imagined, and they are equally irrational existences.
During this process, he seemed to understand a bit about what being a Bloody hand Butcher means. Itâs not about killing randomly without reason but having a complete set of self-logic.
Klein had self-logic for killing, with what he considered reasonable reasons, making him a Bloody hand Butcher.
Su Changxing also had self-logic for slaughtering these players, with what he considered reasonable reasons, making him also a Bloody hand Butcher.
The two seemed indistinguishable, only differing in behavior patterns, but the underlying logic remained the same.
[You cast Terror on the player "Blackrock"]
A surviving player under Su Changxingâs attack saw several blood-red words atop the Jokerâs head, "Bloody hand Butcher."
Blood poured from the red and green face, evoking immense terror.
"Ah!!"
With a scream,
He ended his own life.
[Successfully cast Terror, +100 experience]
This fear seemed real, even if the opponent was a player.
Su Changxing suddenly thought that dealing with these players might not be entirely hopeless. If they couldnât be eliminated physically, he could start with their souls, tearing them apart. Perhaps he could completely kill the players.
But does the game have such a protection mechanism?
He thought it might, but it wouldnât be foolproof; there would still be loopholes to exploit.
