74 If I Can’t Beat Him, I’ll Trick Him! Sunset Ore?
The second strike was even stronger and faster!
This time, although Lin Bei was prepared in advance, he could barely block it.
-30,000!
A damage number floated up!
The block successfully reduced 90% of the damage. Coupled with the 50% damage reduction from Combat Frenzy, he still received 30,000 damage!
In other words, if he was hit directly, the other party’s sword could deal at least 300,000 damage to him!
Even with the Holy Light Shield and the War God Shield, his shield would be broken after at most seven to eight strikes!
Now, Lin Bei’s upper limit of Health Points was less than 300,000 points. Once the shield shattered and he was hit by the other party’s sword, he might be dead!
Therefore, there were two key points in Lin Bei’s battle. First, he could not let the shields shatter! Second, he had to block all the other party’s attacks!
This was a huge challenge for him now!
After all, his extreme reaction time was only 0.1 seconds, and the other party’s reaction time was about 0.07 seconds. Although there was only a difference of 0.03 seconds, such a gap was enough to be fatal in a battle that was ever-changing!
“Very good. After so many years, there’s finally a decent challenger!”
When Jian Yi saw that his second strike had been blocked by Lin Bei, he was not shocked but happy. A smile appeared on his originally calm face. “Not bad. I, Jian Yi, have guarded the ruins of the dynasty for 3,000 years. Your strength is enough to rank in the top 30 among all the challengers. In other words, you can be considered a rare genius in a hundred years.”
“As a fellow human, I won’t kill you, but it’s not so easy to successfully complete the challenge!”
Jian Yi took a step forward and appeared in front of Lin Bei. He said, “My sword has a total of nine moves. Previously, you’ve already withstood the first two moves. There are still seven moves left. If you can withstand all of them, I’ll acknowledge your strength! At that time, you will pass the ruins challenge, and I’ll give you a portion of Divinity Dust!”
“Divinity Dust? What’s that?”
Lin Bei frowned and asked.
“Heh, if you want to know, take my nine strikes first!”
Jian Yi smiled faintly and did not answer Lin Bei. Instead, he took him by surprise and slashed out instantly.
This sword slashed out from below. It was extremely fast, and it was incomparably fierce.
“Oh no!”
Lin Bei’s expression changed. Because he was very close, it was difficult for him to react.
Swoosh!
-600,000!
In an instant, the Holy Light Shield shattered.
“Fourth strike!”
Jian Yi took advantage of the victory and chased after him. He turned into a meteor and stabbed out with his sword. The sword aura was like a rainbow.
Ding!
Block!
-80,000!
“Not bad!”
Jian Yi praised. His figure instantly split into seven and stabbed at Lin Bei from seven different directions. At the same time, he chuckled and said, “Fifth strike!”
This sword blocked all directions for Lin Bei to dodge!
Ding ding ding ding!
At the critical moment, Lin Bei quickly blocked. However, even so, he only blocked four of the swords, and his body was hit three times!
Fortunately, his reaction was fast and he dodged the weaknesses in time. Otherwise, he would be in danger if the three slashes hit him critically!
However, even so, Lin Bei’s War God Shield only had less than 200,000 capacity!
“Sixth strike!”
Jian Yi flew up and shouted in a deep voice. The green sword in his hand was thrown into the air. In an instant, it transformed into more than a thousand sword shadows.
“Kid, can you still withstand it?”
Lin Bei frowned and looked at the thousands of sword shadows in the sky. The corners of his mouth twitched.
Block?
Only a fool would block it!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless air-piercing sounds rang out as more than a thousand sword shadows rushed down and attacked Lin Bei, sealing all his escape routes!
“Earth Escape Technique!”
Lin Bei adapted to the situation and burrowed underground, dodging the sword shadow attack.
“Eh, interesting.”
Seeing this, Jian Yi was slightly stunned.
However, just as he was in a daze, Lin Bei, who had just escaped underground, suddenly broke out of the ground and flew into the air. A Discipline Spell landed on Jian Yi!
BOOM!
Jian Yi’s health had decreased by more than 3 million points!
At the same time, the speed reduction effect of the Paralysis Ring was triggered, and Jian Yi’s speed was reduced by 30%!
This way, it would not be so easy to dodge his attack!
Lin Bei had waited for so long for this opportunity!
As for being beaten up passively?
He would not do that!
Who cares if it’s nine or ten strikes? Do you think I’ll block them just because you say so?
While Jian Yi was slowed down, Lin Bei used Discipline Spell to bombard Jian Yi!
“Hahaha, you’re indeed interesting!”
Jian Yi laughed. The silver cloak behind him instantly turned into a huge shield that blocked the attack of Discipline Spell. At the same time, he disappeared and reappeared behind Lin Bei. He smiled and stabbed him in the back. “Seventh strike!”
This sword was pointed at the back of Lin Bei’s heart. Once it hit, it would definitely trigger a critical hit!
However, at this critical moment, Lin Bei’s shield skill had completely cooled down. Two shields instantly covered his body and blocked this fatal sword strike!
“F*ck.”
The faint smile on Jian Yi’s lips suddenly froze. Looking at the shields that suddenly appeared on Lin Bei’s body, he could not help but curse softly, “Kid, are you a turtle? There are so many shells!”
Originally, this sword strike could have determined the winner.
Who would have thought…
The moment Jian Yi stopped, Lin Bei quickly turned around and punched the bridge of Jian Yi’s nose, causing him to instantly lean back and lose his balance.
Two Discipline Spells immediately followed up and dealt more than 1.6 million damage to Sword!
At this point, Jian Yi’s Health Points had decreased by 10,000,000. There was still 90% left, which was 90,000,000 Health Points.
“Eighth…”
“Eighth my ass!”
Just as Jian Yi was about to attack, Lin Bei quickly pounced forward and hugged Jian Yi. He used the Earth Escape Technique to burrow underground!
In the blink of an eye, the two of them entered the ground. Jian Yi was stuck in a crack in the rock underground while Lin Bei was like a fish in water. He quickly escaped into the other party’s blind spot and kept releasing Discipline Spells to attack the other party!
Numerous damage numbers above 3,000,000 floated above Jian Yi’s head, making him extremely depressed.
“You… you don’t care about morals!”
Jian Yi shouted as he struggled.
However, this was a ruin. The rocks underground were extremely hard. Even if he was a King-tier expert, it was very difficult for him to break through in a short period of time!
“No, at this speed, I’ll die before I can rush out!”
Jian Yi sensed that his life aura was getting weaker and weaker. He did not hesitate anymore and shouted, “Eleventh strike! Become One with the Sword!”
He used his trump card, the eleventh sword move, to give Lin Bei a fatal blow!
Previously, he had said that it was nine strikes. It was just an excuse he gave Lin Bei. At the same time, it was also a trial. If the other party could really withstand it, he did not mind giving him some benefits.
But now… his life was seriously threatened. If he hid any more moves, he would be a fool!
In an instant, Jian Yi transformed into a dazzling sword and broke through the blockade of rocks, instantly piercing through Lin Bei!
“Damn, didn’t he only have nine moves? He’s indeed a liar!”
This sword was too fast. Lin Bei did not have time to react before it pierced through him.
Immune!
The effect of the Paladin’s Oath was instantly effective, helping Lin Bei escape death.
“Kid, you’re not dead yet?!”
After retracting his attack, Jian Yi was shocked. He looked at Lin Bei, who was covered in dust with his equipment shattered. He asked in disbelief, “Even an Emperor-tier expert couldn’t block my sword just now. How did you block it?”
“Oh, I have the effect of the Paladin’s Oath on me. I’m immune to a fatal attack. Your sword was blocked by it.”
Lin Bei shrugged and said casually, “But don’t fight me anymore! You said that you only have nine moves. Now that the eleventh move is out and I blocked it, according to what you said before, shouldn’t you give me some Divinity Dust?”
“Well… okay.”
Jian Yi felt suffocated. He really wanted to kill this annoying kid in front of him with one strike, but when he thought about it, no matter if it was luck or anything, this kid had at least done it. Moreover, in the previous battle, although his reaction was a little slow, his thinking was agile and he had schemed against him. His aptitude was not bad, so it was not too much to give him a portion of Divinity Dust.
“By the way, I see that you’re not even Level 30, right? What are you doing in this ruin?”
“Oh, I accepted an A-rank bounty mission to enter the Sunset Ruins and obtain the Sunset Ore.”
“What Sunset Ore?”
Jian Yi was stunned. I’ve lived here for 3,000 years. Why didn’t I know that there was something called Sunset Ore here?
“Oh, this is it.”
As Lin Bei spoke, he took out the bounty mission notice and handed it to Jian Yi.
On the list was a yellowish ore. The ore shone brightly and had an indescribable heaviness.
“You call this Sunset Ore?”
Jian Yi looked like he had seen a ghost. He looked around and then whispered into Lin Bei’s ear, “This… This is the poop I’ve defecated all these years! It’s just solidified after a long time!”
“What? Damn!”
When Lin Bei heard this, he was dumbfounded.
Damn, if he remembered correctly, the purpose of the Sunset Ore was written on the bounty mission. It seemed to be… making a potion to strengthen one’s foundation and nurture one’s essence?
“I—”
Lin Bei almost vomited blood. This mission, what the hell?
“Kid, this is a good thing! I haven’t been able to go out for so many years. I was worried about how to deal with these… Ahem, Sunset Ores. Why don’t you help me?”
“Forget it.”
“Don’t. If you take them all away, I’ll feel good too.”
Jian Yi said, “How about this? I see that you’re talented and have a bright future. If you agree, I’ll reward you with an upgrade and exchange the Divinity Dust for Divinity Fragments! How about that?”
“I don’t know that either. I don’t even know what Divinity Dust or Divinity Fragment is!”
“That’s true. Then I’ll show you. If you’re willing to help, I’ll give you the fragment. If not, there’ll only be dust.”
As Jian Yi spoke, two wooden boxes appeared in his hand and he slowly opened them.
Lin Bei took a closer look and his breathing suddenly stopped.
This… did such a thing really exist?!
