Chapter 545: Fu Sheng VS Alpistin

“Boss, it’s over?” The three Undead Shield Specialists did not understand the conversation between the two, and they only saw Lin Jie placing a longsword onto the ground and leaving.

Dark Emperor nodded calmly. “Let’s go and kill the Boss first. Then, prepare a batch of slaves to make the deal three days later.”

“Boss, are we really going to trade with him?”

“That’s right. He should belong to a small guild in the Guild and must have his back to the wall. He could only take risks in desperation, coming to the Tribe through a passageway to search for an opportunity. We’ll trade with him once. After he has tasted the sweetness of winning by using the slaves we gave him, we will increase the trading amount by ten times. Then… hehehe!” Dark Emperor smirked and did not continue speaking.

“Hehe, the boss is really amazing!” said an Undead Shield Specialist smilingly.

None of them had thought of connecting Lin Jie to the God of War’s trial.

After Lin Jie left, the fog also gradually dispersed. Alpistin’s clone had already killed most of the team members, and many people had released their slaves as cannon fodder to earn a few more seconds of time to attack. However, with the addition of Dark Emperor, the gloomy atmosphere became lively once again. Under his superb commanding skills, they finally killed Alpistin’s clone.

“Good! After killing his clone, the strength of Alpistin’s real body would also decrease. The surrounding seals for Fallen must have decreased too. We will go to Royal Capital of Darkness now!” shouted Dark Emperor as his spirits were buoyed up.

At the same time, outside Deathknell Town.

[Low-Level Warlord Token]: Royal Capital of Darkness Reputation +300. You have the identity of a Low-Level Warlord in the Royal Capital of Darkness and enjoy a certain amount of special authority.

This item was much more reliable than the transformation item given by Graceful Snake. Warlord was a high-level military status in the Tribe, much higher than Decanus or Centurion.

What was most important was that the Warlord position could be given to those of opposing camps. As everyone knew, there was an extremely dangerous mission, named “undercover”. These types of people were all Warlords, and they had higher status than other Warlords as they were people that were constantly in high-danger environments and might lose their lives at any moment.

Lin Jie hung the token to his waist and walked inside Deathknell Town.

“Stop! It’s actually a human, kill him!” The soldiers guarding the gate saw Lin Jie and immediately wanted to make a move.

“Stop! Don’t you see his Warlord Token? That is a great and brave warrior who is providing us with information in the Guild by being undercover,” the other person shouted immediately. The first soldier instantly put on a serious face and opened up the way for Lin Jie respectfully.

Lin Jie heaved a sigh of relief. ‘Looks like this item is quite effective.’ He went to buy a cloak in the Provisions shop first as although he had the Warlord Token and was able to walk around freely in Tribe towns, it was still better to stay low. After equipping the cloak, Lin Jie walked straight to the building right in the center of Deathknell Town—the General’s Mansion!

If one counted the time passed, Alpistin’s clone should have already died.

Just as he stepped into the General’s Mansion, the surrounding world suddenly changed. All the rooms, furniture, and courtyard disappeared. The whole world was like in chaos as dark aura flowed. Lin Jie did not hold back at all and absorbed all of the aurae in the surroundings.

In the center of the chaos was Undead General Alpistin, who was holding his crescent axe. He was covering his heart with his other hand, and his expression was in great pain.

Suddenly, he raised his head abruptly and stared at the person in front of him. He shouted in perfectly smooth Guild language, “Who?”

“A person who is here to kill you by God of War’s orders,” said Lin Jie calmly as he looked down on that Undead General. After battling with the God of War, he had lost most of his power, while his clone died earlier. Thus, his strength had decreased to the lowest degree for the first time. Meanwhile, Lin Jie took advantage of such timing to arrive in front of Alpistin.

“Hahaha, Giant Axe? I could defeat him once, so I can defeat him again. You, a mere human from the alternate realms, also dare to come and try to kill me, the person that has won against the God of War?” shouted Alpistin as he stabbed his crescent axe into the ground. Cracks appeared in the ground instantly, and under the power of that strike, the surrounding space abruptly shrank hundreds or thousands of times, making space seem like a boxing ring.

—Battle prompt message: Alpistin has activated Undead Battlefield, unless the unit within the battlefield dies, nobody will be able to escape from it.

[Alpistin] (Weakened)

Level: 65

Health Points: 5,000,000

Attack: 1,928-2,837

Defense: 1,000

Special Feature: Undead Resistance (Reduces 90% effect of crowd control skills).

Lin Jie never thought that it would be this smooth triggering the mission. As long as Alpistin was killed, the God of War’s trial mission would definitely be completed! However, on second thought, maybe the last battle was not the highlight, but what was most difficult was in killing Alpistin’s Sub-Legendary clone!

Not to mention, after being discovered by other players, the information of Lin Jie’s existence would spread, and countless players would be attracted to kill Lin Jie. Even if it were that powerful battle strength of Alpistin’s clone, it was already at such a height that Lin Jie was unable to defeat. However, Lin Jie had encountered the native Tribe players and the strongest Blood-Sucking guild trying to kill the clone. Of course, Lin Jie was happy to enjoy the fruits of others’ labor. Thus he had let them kill the clone, and Lin Jie had directly come to kill the gravely injured Alpistin.

Therefore, no matter when, one had to learn to be flexible. If Lin Jie had used up all his trump cards in the Deathknell Swamp and killed everyone from the Blood-Sucking guild, then what would the situation now be? Even if he had gone to Deathknell Town, countless players would have been waiting for him there.

While Dark Emperor was not around, Lin Jie would kill Alpistin!

As he thought until here, Lin Jie let out a ferocious roar, and the immense aura of the sea was released. The Sea King Scaly Armor covered the surface of his body and made him into something like a Sea God general. Sea King Scaly Armor directly absorbed 99% of Lin Jie’s health points, so its thick scales were filled with the marks of the sea.

As his health points decreased greatly, the power within his blood had been completely triggered! Lin Jie’s heart started to beat rapidly! The immense Blood Vigor had dispersed the dark aura in the surroundings and rippled like a stone thrown into the water. Even the Boss could not take the impact from the wave of Blood Vigor and could not help but retreat a few steps.

Blood Power and Heart of Enrage were activated!

Roar—

Lin Jie opened his eyes, and a blood-red ray of light was shot from his pupils into the distance. He took a step forward, and the immense energy almost made the whole battlefield shake.

Death Rage was activated!

Just as they met, Lin Jie had already unleashed all of his abilities. He was like the Hellbringer as his Broken Blade dropped on the ground as if it was about to exude blood, which could fill up the whole place, and his condition was also instantly increased to its peak. He swung his sword and charged towards Alpistin head-on! One could only hear the sound of metals clashing, and cracks actually appeared on the Undead General’s armor.

-10,292!

With just one slash, Lin Jie had dealt 10,000 points of damage!

If it were not for the Undead’s General high level and grade, which could suppress Lin Jie’s attributes, with Lin Jie’s state now, the Damage Dealt could increase by another 50%! After Lin Jie neared Alpistin, he was like an enraged wild beast as powerful and irascible attacks landed on the Boss’ head!

Shield Cut, Army Obliteration, and Mountain-Crushing Flame Slash were activated, and waves of damage values kept on popping up. In just a short period, the Boss had lost 1⁄5 of its health points.

Roar—

The Undead General swung his crescent axe and instantly protected his body. His axe kept on spinning around his body. It was the Weapon Specialist Strengthened Skill—Protection Whirlwind!

As a Boss, naturally, all of the Undead General’s skills were strengthened, as compared to a tiny player like Lin Jie, who had only strengthened one skill. Who knew how much stronger the Boss was?

The Protection Whirlwind lasted for 20 seconds, and it would deal damage continuously to targets attacked from nearing him—it was an extremely despicable skill of a Weapon Specialist.

After 20 seconds, everything would be too late!

Lin Jie lifted his right leg and actually stepped into the skill range of the Undead General! From Lin Jie’s left side, the axe, rapidly encircling Alpistin, was about to slice onto him, so Lin Jie moved and activated the Vanishing Step skill! Instantly, his footsteps became much more agile, and he dodged the giant axe by its edge. Then, Broken Blade was pierced into the Undead General’s body like a poisonous snake.

Army Obliteration!

-10,292!

-21,828!

-10,947!

-20,000!

Slice!

Lin Jie’s attack accurately pierced into the same spot, and the armor on the Boss’ chest, which was originally cracked, exploded, exposing the rotten flesh within. Lin Jie’s eyes lit up, and he aimed at that part, attacking continuously. The normal special effect of Bleeding was easily inflicted. Meanwhile, the Boss’ attacks became more and more ferocious—the spinning speed of the weapon in Protection Whirlwind was beyond imagination! The gaps in the encirclement were so small, and they were simply too hard to notice. However, Lin Jie was as flexible as a viper, and he swayed his body according to the gaps created, and in a total of five seconds, Lin Jie actually did not receive any damage at all! Such a bizarre feeling allowed Lin Jie to understand something at that moment.

“Flame Boost, Thunder Descent!” roared Lin Jie, and his Broken Blade was lengthened by a few yards. Flames were burning on the sword, and the lightning was even letting out crackling sounds on the Flame Boost.

Lin Jie pierced his Broken Blade straight into the Undead General’s body. Meanwhile, Lin Jie’s eyes stared straight at the crescent axe, and he lightly twisted his body according to the axe’s attacking trajectory. After dodging that attack, Broken Blade was yet again slashed brutally into the rotten flesh.

Retreating as he pierced his sword, then pulling out the sword as he advanced! At that moment, it was as if Lin Jie had grasped some special rhythm—he was like a dancer who was moving gracefully. Skills like Rebel’s Fight, Shield Cut, and Army Obliteration were all used to their full potential under his attacking rhythm. He recalled Agile Leopard’s so-called Hundred Beasts’ Fist, wasn’t it just a technique that combined many skills according to the rhythm with the help of one’s footwork and positioning?

Mastering the skills and then connecting them together—that was the so-called Combo Attack!

Lin Jie had an epiphany! His wide experience from his previous life had been absorbed and strengthened in this life, so he instantly understood its essence.

Shortly after, the effects of Death Rage disappeared, so Lin Jie’s damage output decreased by 60%. However, Lin Jie, who had comprehended the battle rhythm technique, did not stop the movements of his hands at all. His Broken Blade pierced accurately into the injury, which he had stabbed at the start, and the Undead General’s health points decreased continuously.

Meanwhile, Lin Jie’s Health Points was still full!
