Chapter 400: Chapter 400: Kill
“Brother, have mercy where mercy can be given. We all just want to explore these ruins. There’s no need for violence,” the old goblin said.
Li Yao was unmoved. He replied nonchalantly: “You’re right. If I hadn’t intended to be merciful, I would have rushed into the crowd earlier. But for a fossil like you with no sense of shame, this is the first time I’ve come across someone like this.”
The old goblin’s face physically trembled with anger, but to a goblin, his life was more important than his pride. He dared not challenge Li Yao without persuasion.
Even now, black Qi surrounded Li Yao. They didn’t know how he managed to keep the black Qi from corroding him, but they knew they couldn’t do it.
Each of them paled when they heard Li Yao intended to rush into the crowd, as they were still terrified by the black Qi. If not for the treasure in the ruins tempting them, they would have fled far away.
Any difference of opinion with Li Yao now would be a death wish.
“Old man, you’re getting senile. Say less.”
“Exactly, this guy is right.”
“Although we goblins don’t repay a favor with a favor, we also don’t repay kindness with hostility.”
“Exactly, a fair duel, life and death depend on personal ability, this guy’s breadth of mind is admirable.”
“That’s right, I admit, if I were in that situation, I would have blown my top. I couldn’t be like this, understanding, orderly, and magnanimous, it’s truly rare.”
“One of our clansmen aided yours with the idea of both sides being allies and supporting each other, yet your clansman not only stabbed us in the back, almost killing one of ours, but we want some kind of explanation,” said the Dwarf Masters, afraid that Li Yao would vent his anger on them.
“Indeed, such a violating act should receive severe punishment, but our clansman is magnanimous, wanting only a fair duel. I think this request is entirely reasonable.”
With the exception of the old goblin who didn’t dare to speak, all the other masters unanimously supported the duel, framing it as just, harmonious, loving, anticipated by all, and a major matter concerning the alliance between the two camps.
The players marveled at the NPCs’ ability to turn coats and lack of shame, which even humans couldn’t fake.
“Hey, where are you going, the duel has not started yet.”
The female goblin attempting to escape on her beast was blocked in the hallway by two masters. They were counting on Li Yao to let out his anger and then open the gate for them. They couldn’t just let her escape.
If she did, Li Yao might charge into their crowd, killing countless individuals. As for whether she would die or not, that was a joke. What was the sacrifice of an insignificant person compared to the forthcoming treasure?
“You’re being too unreasonable! You told me to do it, and now you’re trying to pin it all on me!” The female goblin, seeing the masters who originally blocked the passage to prevent Li Yao from escaping were barring her instead, was furious.
“For heaven’s sake, I don’t have the authority to order you.”
“That’s right; how could we order you?”
“If we really had a way to order you, then fine, now you can duel with this guy.”
“Right, you wouldn’t necessarily lose. Why run?”
“Fine, very well.” The female goblin’s body trembled with anger, but for now, she was on her own.
“Everyone has to die sooner or later. The only question is whether they die sooner or later. But since you’re seeking death, I’ll accommodate you.” Li Yao waved his hand, commanding Death God 4000 to retreat to the edge. “I don’t need pets to kill you.”
“You’re too arrogant. I’m going to fight you to the end.” As the female goblin frenziedly chugged potions for herself and her beast, she shouted, “If you still hope for him to open the door for you, dream on. If you want to sacrifice me for the treasure, I’ll die with him. If I can’t have it, no one will.”
After drinking the potions, both her and her beast’s skin turned red, and their bodies grew by nearly a third.
“Be careful, brother. She’s drank an epic level ‘Furious Potion’ and ‘Resilient Potion’,” a goblin yelled at him. They did not want Li Yao losing this fight.
Many masters were even prepared to rescue Li Yao if there was a risk of him losing to the female goblin or encountering any accidents.
Furious Potion
Quality: Epic Purple
Upon taking it, it sends you into a state of rage, enlarging your body by one third and enhancing all properties by 30% for 3 minutes. Cooldown time: 1 hour.
Resilient Potion
Quality: Epic Purple
Upon taking it, it gives you the effect of resilience, enhancing your health by 30% and defense by 30% for 3 minutes. Cooldown time: 1 hour.
“I won’t lose. Momenla, tear him to pieces!” With the female goblin’s furious roar, the beast she was riding also let out a fierce snarl, charging at Li Yao like it was a heavily armed truck.
Li Yao was not to be outdone. He was using a golden mechanical puppet, so he was not inferior in strength.
Thousand Catty Slash vs. Barbarian Collision.
Under everyone’s watchful gaze, the two collided.
Boom…
The golden alloy sword, accompanied by streaks of golden light, clashed with the monster’s horn, covered in red light, producing the sound of metal collision.
Crack…
But in just an instant, the golden sword broke the monster’s horn and then heavily struck its body.
Thud …
-89699
-8928
Both damage figures began with the number 8, but the damage differed by almost ten times. The masters looked on in horror, truly realizing the terror of the golden puppet.
Blood splattered in every direction, and the giant beast was sent flying with a wail. The golden puppet was also repelled, and only after a flip in the air did it steady itself. Its feet were plunged into the floor, causing the ground under its feet to crack.
While the mechanical puppet got steady, Li Yao readied his usual move. He released a ‘Sword Qi Slash’ during his flip in the air.
Shadow Tentacle!
The just-recovered beast was about to dodge ‘Sword Qi Slash’ but was ensnared by the tentacle.
Whack, whack, whack…
-25688-25478-26954-24871-34459
The first four numbers represented the ‘Sword Qi Slash’ damage, and the last one was the damage from Shadow Tentacle.
“No, this can’t be.” The female goblin struggled to dismount but was entangled by the tentacle just as she jumped off. Her HP, which was less than a hundred thousand, started being drained by the Shadow Tentacle.
Jump Shock!
Whirlwind Slash!
Amid the rain of blood, the giant beast and the female goblin were killed by two consecutive strikes.
The female goblin had poor HP and defense. She couldn’t withstand the continuous harm from ‘Jump Shock’ and ‘Whirlwind Slash.’ The beast was already terribly wounded and got bound by ‘Shadow Tentacle,’ it was killed too after taking ‘Jump Shock’ and ‘Whirlwind Slash.’
The ‘Shadow Tentacle’ disappeared and two bodies thumped to the ground …
