Chapter 54

"I still have defensive skills, I still have healing potions."

"Right... right, I still have a teammate, Wang Yu, her barrier will definitely be able to save me!"

The Brutal Warrior turned his head to look.

Only to find.

That female mage, Wang Yu, had long since fled.

Su Ming's next sword followed.

Or rather, it wasn't his own next sword.

It was the shadow's sword.

Su Ming triggered the effect of the Shadow Sword set, an additional shadow strike.

Swish!

A single sword strike decapitated him.

The Brutal Warrior also fell.

The female mage was extremely panicked and turned to flee.

She had abandoned her teammates!

Su Ming looked in the direction she was fleeing and sneered.

He directly activated the Profound Steel Sword and chased after her!

Su Ming could not leave a single survivor.

Wang Yu's eyes were filled with despair; her teleportation spell had too long a cooldown, and her barriers couldn't block him.

She also didn't have the money to buy good life-saving equipment, so she had only one path: death!

Su Ming hovered and controlled his sword to slash, fast to the extreme, pursuing and killing.

He even shattered the rain in mid-air.

The color of the Profound Sharp Sword reflected in the air.

Wang Yu turned her head to look, and her eyes were instantly filled with despair.

She knew she couldn't escape.

At this moment, countless resentful thoughts arose in her heart!

Regret and anger, both were there!

"Damn Zhang Tang!"

She couldn't help but clench her fists and say viciously in her heart.

I, Wang Yu, was once the flower of Xuanjing, a school beauty with six-star talent!

Yet I dedicated my best years to you, Young Master Zhang Tang.

What I got in these two years was only 100,000 Arrival Coins; it was like tossing change to a beggar!

And in the end, he even sent me to carry out this kind of assassination mission!

It was simply a suicide mission, sending me to my death!

The two family assassins who accompanied me, although their strength was okay, compared to Su Ming, they were just fodder.

This Su Ming in front of me is not a Sword Controller at all; he's a monster.

Zhang Tang either underestimated Su Ming too much, or he intentionally sent me here to die!

She felt broken and desperate in her heart.

Suddenly, a dazed look appeared in her eyes.

It seemed she had thought of something.

Then, she grinned hideously.

"Hahaha, even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"

She roared and then raised her hand to cast a spell.

An instant-cast spell, Flame Barrier.

It directly ignited the tail of the giant snake in the nest in the distance!

That's right, she chose to wake the giant snake before she died.

This would allow Su Ming to die here too.

Her crazy actions made Liya, who was watching from the side, feel terrified!

She had spent her whole life in the village, where all the beast-kin were simple, honest, and peace-loving.

Now, having witnessed the bloody struggle between humans with her own eyes, she finally understood...

What cruelty was!

What madness was!

Even in death, they would drag their own kind down with them!

The human race was actually cruel to this extent!

She felt a chill running down her spine.

Recalling how she had once taken Su Ming's food and drink without hesitation,

she realized she had been far too unguarded.

Looking at Su Ming again, her eyes held a bit of wariness.

It could be said that at this moment,

this little beast-kin girl had grown up.

Swish!

Su Ming's sword pierced through her heart.

She breathed her last and fell to the ground, unable to rise.

Su Ming's expression was grave.

He hadn't expected this woman to be so crazy.

If his sword hadn't killed her, she would have woken the giant snake, and she would have died in the end anyway.

It could be said that this was a suicide attack.

In the next instant, a voice rang out.

[Assassinated the second-turn three-person squad!]

[Wang Yu: Barrier Mage, Level 21]

[Song Buqing: Ice Swordsman, Level 23]

[Li Meng: Brutal Warrior, Level 24]

[Cross-level kill, experience bonus obtained]

[Experience gained: 13,000 points!]

Subsequently, Su Ming's level rose directly to level 20!

Su Ming immediately added all his attribute points to Luck!

Agility was already sufficient; now he could focus on the Luck attribute.

Many people think the Luck attribute is a useless stat.

Many believe that Luck basically only affects the drop rate of treasures.

It cannot directly and immediately improve combat power.

But Su Ming knew very well that Luck is not just about item drop rates.

It also affects the probability of critical hits, critical strike chance, and critical damage.

The Agility attribute also increases critical strike chance, but not as much as Luck.

Now that he was focusing on Agility and Luck, in the later stages, every strike would be a critical hit!

By then, he would be able to kill everything with a single sword.

Moreover, his "All Things Sublimation" talent could also benefit from the Luck attribute bonus.

Subsequently, Su Ming heard another voice.

[Obtained loot: 30,900 Ten Thousand Race Coins, 100,000 Arrival Coins, Silver-grade low-tier gloves, Silver-grade high-tier ring, Gold-grade high-tier war hammer, Gold-grade staff...]

All of their items now belonged to Su Ming.

Su Ming pocketed everything.

This haul was much more profitable than killing monsters.

No wonder there were so many rampant serial killers.

[Sword Draw Instant Slash, Entangled Thunder Sword Art]

[Skill proficiency increased!]

[Sword Draw Instant Slash (Gold-grade low-tier sword technique)]

[Concentrate your spirit, condense all your power into one sword, draw the sword and slash, the power is terrifying!]

[Surging Thunder Sword (Gold-grade low-tier sword technique)]

[Condense lightning into the sword blade to increase the power of the sword technique.]

Brand new sword techniques flooded into his mind.

Su Ming could feel that their power had greatly improved!

However, the successive rewards did not make Su Ming's mood any better.

Because... that giant snake had already woken up!

In the distance, that burly giant snake raised its head with a boom!

Su Ming could feel the surrounding ground shaking!

The giant snake seemed extremely angry and let out a roar.

[Player has reached level 20]

[Second-turn task being assigned...]

[Assignment successful: Slay a monster above the second turn!]

This task was truly unreasonable.

Requiring a player who hadn't reached the second turn to slay a second-turn monster!

Only a profession like the Sword God would have such a terrifying task assignment!

Su Ming stared at the giant snake in front of him, a killing intent emerging in his heart.

A second-turn monster, just right to complete the Heavenly Tower Association task and the second-turn task!

Today, I, Su Ming, will step into the second turn.

Even if you, this big snake, wake up, it's useless!

Su Ming's expression was cold as he pushed Liya away.

"Little girl, go hide."

"Don't hold me back."

Su Ming said coldly, showing no mercy!

Liya didn't think Su Ming was being rough and nodded.

"Okay!"

Her cat ears twitched, and she stepped away to flee.

Seeing that giant snake, she felt a fear from the depths of her bones; she didn't dare to fight, so she knew that leaving was the best choice.

Letting Su Ming fight without distractions gave him the best chance of winning!

Her heart was filled with tension, hoping that Su Ming would definitely win!

To avenge everyone in the village!

Roar!

The giant snake opened its huge mouth, revealing its tongue.

Its wide upper and lower jaws opened, as if it could swallow a small house.

This giant snake's size was too terrifying.

It was simply crushing Su Ming.

Ordinary snakes don't roar; they only make hissing sounds.

But this snake, having mutated many times, could already make a roar-like, eerie sound that sounded extremely soul-shaking.

With that roar, the birds and beasts in the surrounding dense forest all scattered!

Within a radius of several miles, all the wild beasts fled in a panic.

The giant snake rushed directly to the corpse of the female mage Wang Yu and swallowed her in one gulp.

Its blood-red mouth opened, even biting a large pit into the ground.

One can imagine how terrifying this scene was.

Su Ming stood tall, remaining expressionless!

He directly drew the Dragon Inlay Broken Sword from his waist and gripped it in his hand!

The Profound Sharp Sword rotated and hovered in mid-air, circling around him.

The spirit blade also flew and spun around Su Ming!

In his left hand, he held the Shadow Flow Sword!

Four swords unleashed simultaneously, Su Ming's peak combat stance, without reservation!

The giant snake roared and rushed over fiercely.

Its winding, huge body was terrifying to the extreme.

It caused a great wind to blow.
