Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

After dealing with Xiao Tian, Lu Wu began to hang around the forum.

A post that had an increasing number of visitors had caught Lu Wu’s attention.

[Subject: Who can kill Ao Jian on my behalf! The Demonic God Guild will offer 1,000 soul coins to the bounty killer as a reward for killing Ao Jian!]

Crayon_Shinchan: “Forget it, man! Ao Jian is a low-key guy, but I think his place in the Top 10 within the region is already certain, not to mention he is ranked first. Unless there is a team fight, or else no one can kill him alone. But, I think you can consider giving Ao Jian 1,000 soul coins just to kill himself (laughing emoji)”

Invincible_Loneliness: “The people of the Demonic God Guild have a big heart. To be honest, Ao Jian is really strong, I feel that I’m no match for him even when I’m already born strong.”

Peppa_Boar: “This rubbish Demonic God Guild is toxic, I have yet to settle the matter that happened in Fallen Fish Island previously with you. You guys deserve to be bullied!”

Watermelon_Taro: “Well, tens of thousands of players used to be trapped in the Fallen Fish Island because of all of you. It serves you right for provoking Ao Jian this time. (laughing emoji)”

MyWifeIsTheMostBeautiful_InTheWorld (Murphy): “I’ll take on the task. I’m setting up a live broadcast. (elated)”

MyHusbandIsTheMostHandsome_InTheWorld (Little Pomelo): “Task accepted. (elated)”

Crayon_Shinchan: “Fuck, aren’t these two the bounty killers that tore apart Zombie_Hunter? Since they have accepted the task, then let’s wait for a good show. Sit tight and watch the gods fight (laughing emoji)”

Xueli_The_Strongest: “It appears that they are the Dark Shadow Twins that had requested for a transfer in position. A competition between the professionals; I can’t wait to watch it!”

Originally, this kind of post was quite common within the forum, but it wouldn’t attract too much attention from the players. However, it was different this time as the two hunters that signed up for it were viewed very favorably by the players in the forum. On top of that, they were one of the top 10 bounty hunters in the region.

This battle immediately caught the attention of large numbers of players as each and every one of them placed their replies right below the post. They wanted to see if the group of bounty killers that had never missed could defeat Ao Jian, one of the most high-tech pro players recognized in the forum.

Soon, a live broadcast regarding the post appeared, then a large number of players joined in. The number of players exceeded 800,000 in less than half an hour, and it was still surging up.

[Bounty Task Accepted, Killing Target: Ao Jian is on the way…]

In order to be able to watch the competition between the expert players, the other players had even spontaneously provided the coordinates of Ao Jian’s location in the live broadcast room. After about an hour’s search, Murphy and Little Pomelo met Ao Jian in the Ascension Zone.

At this moment in time, Ao Jian was standing in a wasteland. His fingers were swirling continuously, while the Nine Spiritual Swords shuttled back and forth behind him. The wild boar with fangs he was going against was thrown to the ground before it even had the chance to come closer.

Now, a pool of black shadows came rapidly from afar. As it approached Ao Jian, two figures jumped out in unison, followed by two boning knives chiseling toward the back of Ao Jian.

“Sword, retract!”

In the face of a sudden assassination, Ao Jian pointed to the Nine Spiritual Swords that was stabbed into the wild board with fangs. All of a sudden, the Nine Spiritual Swords turned back swiftly and sequenced themselves rapidly on the back of Ao Jian.

“Ding! Ding!”

The metal clashed and a seemingly ferocious raid was resolved easily.

Seeing that the attack was unsuccessful, Murphy and Little Pomelo quickly retreated and kept a distance of about five meters from Ao Jian.

Watching Ao Jian with the Nine Spiritual Swords on his shoulders, tension began piling up in their hearts. Ao Jian’s strength, after all, was far beyond any target they had ever come across. He was a real expert in the game, so it was extremely strenuous for them to win this battle!

“You want to kill me?” Ao Jian looked indifferently at the two who stood before him.

“We accepted a bounty task, regardless of it being right or not!” Murphy looked dignified.

Upon hearing this, Ao Jian suddenly smiled, “Actually, I would have gone to you if you hadn’t come to me. I originally wanted to challenge you to see how well you could flexibly use the hidden character class ability. Awesome, now that both of you are here, bring it on!”

After saying this, Ao Jian reached out his hand and waved. The Nine Spiritual Swords spread out behind his back automatically and arranged themselves into a fan, suspending in mid-air.

Murphy and Little Pomelo exchanged glances with each other. Then, Little Pomelo’s figure slowly integrated itself into the shadow of Murphy, while a dagger belonging to Little Pomelo emerged from Murphy’s left hand.

At the beginning of the battle, Ao Jian was clutching the sword spirit infusion in his hand, while the Nine Spiritual Swords levitated in the air behind him, hovering on top of his head. He constantly swept his eyes past them as he flashed from left to right, approaching very quickly.

“I found it!”

When the twins approached Ao Jian, Ao Jian stretched out his hand and grabbed something, then a red Spiritual Sword was in his hand. In a split second, he stabbed toward his left, which was the next landing point of the twins breakthrough.

“Hiss!”

The numbers representing the emergence of health points. This attack took away more than 100 points of their health. However, a smile crept across their face. A dark shadow under their feet stretched forward and appeared on the back of Ao Jian. Then, the figure of Little Pomelo trod her way out, stabbing Ao Jian’s at a tricky angle.

Ao Jian was dumbstruck. He frantically wanted to recall his Spiritual Swords. However, Murphy, who was in front of him, raised his dagger at the same time and stabbed his neck.

Having been attacked from the front and back, Ao Jian did not panic. The Nine Spiritual Swords in front of him spun around and stabbed Little Mo, intending to kill him first.

The moment had come where the players who were watching the scene were left dumbfounded.

The figure of Murphy began to blur, then the person that appeared in front of Ao Jian was Little Pomelo, who looked as if she was parrying his attack. However, Murphy, who was originally in an attack posture, stabbed Ao Jian’s back immediately after changing position.

-266 (Little Pomelo)

-198 (Ao Jian)

Two lines of health points appeared on top of their heads.

This time, the audience saw it very clearly.

In fact, after their bodies had separated, Little Pomelo who was standing behind Ao Jian was a feint. As Murphy was in the position to attack, she pulled back her dagger and went into defense mode. Then, they swapped bodies.

Their sudden change of position, which was completely interlinked with each other, was quite unexpected. Even Ao Jian had failed to avoid it, and on top of that, he had suffered a stab in the back.

The battle was still ongoing. At this moment, Little Pomelo who had flown backward after receiving a blow from the Nine Spiritual Swords began to blur. As she was being flung backward, her figure turned into Murphy. Later, Ao Jian felt a stabbing pain shoot through his back once more, as a number appeared on his head.

However, the injuries were not yet over. The passive effect of Dark Shadow was triggered at this moment. While Murphy and Little Pomelo each had a stab on their backs, they marked the Yin and Yang Talisman onto Ao Jian’s body as well.

With the emergence of Yin and Yang Talisman together with their collision and explosion, Ao Jian shuddered. His health dropped directly to the bottom line, having less than 100 points left.

Forum:

Strike_Gold: “Fuck, I didn’t know the game could be played in such a way; when one froze after backstabbing, the other substitutes in to take a blow! Awesome!”

Crayon_Shinchan: “Oh My God, I can feel the excitement running through my veins. How could they have such a good rapport so quickly? The great part of the show is finally starting.”

Watermelom_Taro: “Wow, a feint and a wave of seamless double backstab. They really have great chemistry with each other. FANTASTIC SHOW!”

A_Mammoth: “I am convinced. This operation has been recorded. I have to research and get to the bottom of it.”

Peppa_Boar: “Perhaps they do stand a chance to win this battle, not to mention that they as Dark Shadows should show their skill to their opponents (eyes filled with expectancy)…”

Xueli_The_Strongest: “I suddenly have the urge to play this game with my boyfriend, and opt for a class advancement to Dark Shadow Twins to show off our love and skills (love)!”

At that moment, the battle was still ongoing. Even Ao Jian could not bear the two stabs that he received in a row.

His health had reached its limit. If he were to receive another blow, it would definitely be the end for him.

However, Ao Jian did not panic. He swung his left hand backward as three Spiritual Swords turned back and shot toward Murphy, who was in the midst of launching yet another attack. While on his opposite side, another set of six Spiritual Swords which were right in front of Little Pomelo flung at her fiercely.
