“What the hell is that?” Feng Bujue looked at the cross-like light beam that was far down the city. “Has the Angel arrived?”
Brother Jue was slightly walking down the street. He was not in a hurry. After all, he was not there to kill people to get points. His main goal was to survive and to not get killed by other players or the four divinities. On this basis, he would be able to investigate what Woody wanted him to do.
“Wu wu wu…” Suddenly, he heard a cry. Feng Bujue stopped immediately and turned towards the sound. He saw a woman at the corner. She had pale skin and a slender body. She was kneeling on the ground and crying. From where Feng Bujue was standing, he could only see her back. The woman’s hair was grey, and she wore a tank top and shorts. She looked like she just woke up, but her skin and clothes were covered in blood stains. That meant that she had been wandering about for quite some time already.
“Hmm…This appears to be The Witch1.” Feng Bujue narrowed his eyes and thought. Well, I only need to sneak by her without shining the light her way or making any noise.
In Left 4 Dead, The Witch was highly aggressive and moved very fast, but she was unlike the other zombies. Normally, a player could choose to walk around her. Therefore, Brother Jue sidled to the side and tried to walk around her. However, after taking only two steps, he heard the narration.
—
“At the junction of darkness, the wailing was deep. The chill of murder is in the air, harkening the arrival of a battle.”
—
“No way…” Feng Bujue lifted his head as if talking to the system. “But I do not want to fight her at all.”
As he finished, he heard three loud booms from the corner.
Then, a giant shadow appeared in Feng Bujue’s sight. The next second, a giant fist fell, crushing the Witch into a meat cake.
“But I want to,” said a familiar voice from ahead.
—
“On the bloody ground, the strong meet again. A second fight is in schedule.”
—
“Erm…” Feng Bujue soon found the man’s name in his memory. “So it is you?”
King of Shadow laughed and said, “Who else could it be?” He walked out from the corner. “Long time no see.”
After Battle of the Cowl, Shiva, Seven Kills, and King of Shadow all added Brother Jue as a friend, but they only chatted once or twice. They hadn’t met each other again. They were only acquaintances. King of Shadow still looked the same. He still had an unassuming appearance that could melt into the crowd easily.
“Is there a possibility that…” Feng Bujue laughed dryly and paused before he continued. “…that you could just pretend to not see me so we can walk away from each other?’
“What do you think?” King of Shadow chuckled.
“Based on the fire in your eyes,” Feng Bujue said. “That is unlikely.”
“It’s great that you understand that.” King of Shadow turned serious and focused his gaze. “If it were someone else, I might do that. But you…I have to kill you myself.”
Feng Bujue sighed. “Aiz…What have I done to you? Is it to take revenge for the incident at Gotham?”
King of Shadow replied with a shake of his head.
“Is it because you fell out of the Top 20 combat stat ranking?” Brother Jue asked again.
King of Shadow rationally replied, “How is that your fault?”
“Then, it must be because you want to fight with a VIP player. No matter how this ends, at least you’ll gain some fame.” Feng Bujue’s guess was getting more and more ridiculous.
“I am not someone like you. I don’t like to see my name up in lights.” King of Shadow might not look like it, but he had quite a sharp tongue.
“I don’t think I have seen my name in lights before. Are you going to make that possible?”
“That was a saying, but don’t change the subject.”
“Eh. Speaking of which…This might interest you. I have the Solomon’s print patterned on my bed sheet.”
“Why would that interest me? Didn’t I tell you not to change the subject already?!”
Feng Bujue laughed and shrugged. “Fine. Then why are you so keen on killing me?”
“I am also Xu Huai Shang’s fan,” King of Shadow said calmly. At that moment, the smile on Feng Bujue’s face disappeared. At the same time, the audience who saw this dropped fell silent too.
“I get it now,” Brother Jue concluded. “Looks like only one of us will walk away alive.”
“You sure got to that conclusion fast,” King of Shadow said.
“Well, the killing is strong when it comes to money and women.” Feng Bujue suddenly took on the role of a passionate man. “Come at me with your best! And then get killed knowing that you have everything you ever wanted, and leave with no regret!”
“Perfect.” King of Shadow also got caught in the fire of the battle. “But you’re the one who’s going to die!”
At that moment, the audience before the screen cheered.
“Oh! That kid is quite gutsy and honorable despite his appearance!”
“Go! King of Shadow! Take revenge on Xu Huai Shang’s behalf!”
“Brother Jue, you will win!”
“I love Li Ming! I love Li Ming!”
Strange cheers echoed through the crowd. They were completely submerged in this heated atmosphere. They had no idea why they were so excited, but they couldn’t help being swayed by it.
—
“With a roar, King of Shadow treaded the path of murder. The stone demon raised its fist, tearing through the fabric of the air.
“Mumbling the mantra on his lips, Feng Bujue reached into the past to summon the spirit of Bason to face the enemy.”
—
As the narration said, once the two finished their conversation, King of Shadow’s Blood Golem started to attack. Feng Bujue also activated his own Summoning skill.
———

———
A warrior wearing purplish-gold armor and looking dashing and imposing, appeared behind Feng Bujue. Bason did not have a lower body, and it floated behind its owner like a giant shadow of spiritual energy.
Based on Feng Bujue and Bason’s current bond, he could only use the most basic Chūka Zanmai, but with the buff from the embedded alchemical enhancement device, Brother Jue could use Gōruden Panchi to counter the heavy punch from the Blood Golem.
