Chapter 264: Chapter 264: Join Hands

Translator: 549690339

The long blade in Ma Jiang’s hand is also a Tier 10 silver weapon, and he is a strength-specialist. Blessed by his full gear, his strength attribute has well surpassed fifteen points. One cleave from his blade could halve a man.

“Bang!”

The moment sword and blade collided, a powerful force exploded from the blades, causing a resonating roar. Ma Jiang grunted, surprise flashing across his eyes as he continuously stepped backward. Astoundingly, his opponent’s strength was slightly stronger than his own.

Ding, ding, ding-

just as Ma Jiang was forced to retreat, three silver Sword Silks appeared out of thin air. After hovering in the air for a moment, they darted toward Ma Jiang in unison.

Crack, crack-

Two of the Sword Silks hit Ma Jiang’s shoulders, while the other pierced right through his stomach. Damage numbers began to float above Ma Jiang’s head. In just one encounter, he was reduced to critical health.

The damage in the hundreds caused Ma Jiang’s steps to waver, and the “Tiger Roar Blade” in his hand became heavy. In his critically injured state, all his attributes declined by 30%.

“How’s this possible? He’s only at Level 13! Why is his damage so strong!” Ma Jiang felt as if he were facing a Level 20 veteran, not a Divine Worshipper on his level.

At that moment, a sprinkle of fragmented white light fell from above. Qi Yun was standing on the roof of a shop in the distance. The moment he saw Ma Jiang’s Vitality Points dropped to one-fifth, he was taken aback and reflexively performed an instant Healing Skill.

Ma Jiang’s Vitality Points were restored to two-thirds, removing his critical injury status. Seeing Song Jian rushing toward him again, Ma Jiang gritted his teeth and chugged down a potion.

Rage Potion!

After use, attack power increases by 30%, attack speed increases by 15% for 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, all attributes decrease by 35% for 1 hour.

This was one of Ma Jiang’s trump cards, yet he had to use it after their first encounter.

A crimson flame of vitality began to burn intensely on the surface of Ma Jiang’s body. His eyes glinting red, Ma Jiang roared and raised his long sword, slashing towards Song Jian.

For a moment, Ma Jiang was full of momentum. As he swung the Tiger Roar Blade, there was the resonating sound of a tiger’s roar that left Song Jian feeling agitated.

Song Jian frowned slightly, feeling his opponent’s rapid increase in attack speed. A subtle smile pulled at the corner of his lips. With a flick of his wrist, the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword emitted a sharp whistling sound.

Rapid Sword!

At this moment, Ma Jiang couldn’t even see clearly where Song Jian’s sword was moving. His view was fuzzy as three or four long swords seemed to be stabbing toward him simultaneously.

Woosh-

Another beam of white light enveloped Ma Jiang, instantly raising his Vitality Points to 90%. Song Jian frowned slightly, unable to help stealing a glance at Qi Yun who was a dozen meters away.

“This healer is too annoying. 1 need to find a way to take him out first!” Song Jian thought to himself.

If he wanted to kill Ma Jiang, he had to take down this healer first. Otherwise, they might eventually wear him down. He hadn’t forgotten about the Thief lurking nearby.

Clang, clang, clang-

Song Jian and Ma Jiang’s movements were extremely quick; in just an instant, they had traded over ten blows. They appeared to be evenly matched, but Ma Jiang was internally distressed. His opponent’s attacks were faster than his own, so to keep up, he had to expend more effort, which meant greater consumption of his energy.

“Chu Ping, when will you finally make a move? What are you waiting for? Until I’ve been cut down to a corpse?” Ma Jiang roared. He could feel that Chu Ping was somewhere nearby.

Chu Ping’s face turned pale. After realizing that Song Jian possessed an external weapon, his intention had changed. Even if this mission were to fail, if he could obtain the opponent’s weapon, he’d still come out as a big winner.

However, there was only one external weapon, but three people on their team. Initially, Chu Ping planned to let Ma Jiang, Qi Yun, and his opponent exchange blows till all were weakened. He could then swoop in at the end to pick up the spoils. But to his surprise, his opponent turned out to be so formidable. They were all locked in battle, evenly matched, and he even seemed to be gaining the upper hand. This made Chu Ping feel perilously uneasy.

Ma Jiang’s outburst was a byproduct of his despair. He had no idea this was what Chu Ping was actually thinking. But after witnessing Song Jian’s formidable strength, he felt certain Song Jian could kill both Ma Jiang and Qi Yun without losing much life. This made Chu Ping anxious.

If Song Jian were indeed able to kill both Ma Jiang and Qi Yun, Chu Ping would also be unable to escape, and besides the external weapon, he might even lose his life here.

After a moment’s hesitation, Chu Ping gritted his teeth and finally emerged from the alley, rushing toward the back of Song Jian.

Ma Jiang valiantly resisted Song Jian’s assault, with his body teetering and about to fail, but he did not retreat an inch under Qi Yun’s treatment.

Qi Yun, who had planned to use his sniper rifle for ranged skirmishes, bore a bitter expression. He didn’t expect their targeted fugitive to be so formidable. Despite only being at Level 13, the fugitive exhibited a strength that could rival that of someone over Level 20, leaving him no chance to pull out his sniper rifle. He could only desperately use his Spirit Points to replenish Ma Jiang’s Vitality Points.

As he watched Ma Jiang’s Vitality Points fluctuate up and down, Qi Yun’s heart pounded fiercely in sync.

At this very moment, Qi Yun noticed a semi-transparent figure slowly sneaking up behind Song Jian. His face lit up with delight. If two of them attacked Song Jian at the same time, the pressure on him as a healer would certainly lessen.

“Die!” The moment Ma Jiang saw Chu Ping appear, he started behaving aggressively. There wasn’t much time left from the sixty seconds of his Rage Potion’s effect, after which all his attributes would reduce by 30%. He couldn’t possibly match Song Jian then. He had to seize the opportunity to join forces with Chu Ping within the remaining time. He only hoped they could at least cause Song Jian some serious injury.

Ambush!

At this moment, Chu Ping had also closed in on Song Jian. His dagger, like a viper’s fang, was aimed at the back of Song Jian’s head.

Sensing a gust of wind behind his head, Song Jian’s figure bolted forward as if he had teleported, his aura growing violent and fierce. He slashed his sword towards Ma Jiang.

Broken Wing Dance!

Both Chu Ping and Ma Jiang didn’t see it coming. At this moment, Ma Jiang felt like a massive wave was surging towards him. His face changed; he dared not resist head-on and quickly dodged to the side.

Due to his failed “ambush”, Chu Ping, who was behind him, was revealed.

Seeing Ma Jiang avoiding to the side, Song Jian didn’t let the second strike of his Broken Wing Dance chase after Ma Jiang. Instead, he turned around and slashed towards Chu Ping.

In his panic, Chu Ping didn’t expect Song Jian to change his attack target so quickly. Hastily, he crossed his daggers to shield himself.

Bang-

The long sword and daggers collided harshly. An immense force was transmitted, and Chu Ping couldn’t block it. He was blown into the air, leaving his chest vulnerable. In his horrified gaze, Song Jian’s figure leaped high into the air, and the dark red sword, emitting a dazzling silver sword light, struck down towards his head.
