Chapter 460 Death of Shadow Kill“s Grim Reaper!

“Army Obliteration!”

“Shield Cut!”

“Ice Spirit Slash!”

Lin Jie swung his Broken Blade continuously, as if he was flustered from anger, and kept on flinging his skills everywhere. However, not one attack hit Tomorrow Night, who was using Vanishing Step. His position was ever-changing, so one would not even be able to see his moving trajectory. Only at the instant where one attacked his afterimage could they see the shadow of this Bandit leaving.

“Pft, that guy is helpless against Vanishing Step...” Yesterday Morning scoffed as he saw the battle between Tomorrow Night and Lin Jie. “It’s simply a one-sided battle! Vanishing Step is really worthy of its name, once trained till the maximum, it could really make one become a blind man even with eyes open. No matter how powerful Lone Wolf is, he is still far from understanding such a domain, he really is a frog in the well from being too solitary! Sighs, what a pity those people are unwilling to join these battles, or else creating a guild which rules over The New Age would be a piece of cake!”

At that moment, Tomorrow Night and Lin Jie’s battle had reached a crucial state! At first glance, it might look as if Lin Jie’s skills had all missed, so all he could do was defend the attacks. It also seemed that he was at a disadvantage where everything he did was useless.

However, Tomorrow Night had noticed that a fearsome windstorm of attacks had actually formed around Lin Jie, preventing Tomorrow Night totally to find a spot to attack. If he really tried to pass through it, the crazy Blade Auras would instantly cut him into pieces. Therefore, Tomorrow Night could only keep using Vanishing Step to delay time and deplete Lin Jie’s skills.

How could Lin Jie not know what Tomorrow Night was aiming for? It looked as if he was randomly releasing skills and flinging them everywhere madly, but in reality, he had already calculated the cooldown time for each skill. Consequently, situations like a gap in the follow-up of skills would definitely not happen.

He was observing! In the game, there was a way to solve everything. No matter how strong Vanishing Step was, it was unable to prevent one thing—habit! Or one could say the habit of the players’ movements.

The Vanishing Step was a technique where when the player executed an action in a direction, it would forcibly stop that action and produce an afterimage corresponding to that action. Meanwhile, the player could instantly choose another pathway to leave so it could blur the opponent’s judgment and cause the attack to miss, thus gaining time and opportunities for the user. That was the essence of the Vanishing Step.

However! Everyone had habits! Just like how sportsmen would habitually run forward at the sound of a gunshot when a unit used Vanishing Step and stopped, the said person would choose a direction to retreat according to their normal habits. The reason why Lin Jie was delaying time all along was to figure out Tomorrow Night’s habits! Tomorrow Night was indeed an expert as he had already tried to consciously change his habit. Every 10 times, he would move left 3 times, and the rest of the 7 times, he would move right.

Moving right was the habit of him using the skill. Lin Jie believed that even when Tomorrow Night activated skills such as Forced Invisibility, Gale Steps, and Stealth Move, he would subconsciously move right.

“Time is lacking.” Tomorrow Night took a look at the Vanishing Step’s time left and was shocked. He never expected that he had already wasted a total of 9 minutes! The time where Vanishing Step could be used was just a short 10 minutes. Once the time was up, it would disappear, and the cooldown time was as long as half a month!

He needed to end this quickly!

Tomorrow Night made up his mind. With a dash, his afterimages were like hungry tigers, pouncing on their prey, and countless daggers were piercing towards Lin Jie’s face!

Lin Jie “went pale from shock”, raised his Broken Blade high, and his Heart of Enrage thumped 10+ times. The vigorous Blood Vigor surged into Broken Blade, and Shield Cut was activated!

“Hmph, idiot!”

An evil smile appeared on Tomorrow Night’s face, which showed his joy from his scheme succeeding. He dodged Lin Jie’s attack, and his dagger was pierced towards Lin Jie’s neck! The Addictive Mana Daggers shone so faintly it was hard to see with naked eyes—that was the Mystic Skill Book [Dagger Explode] he had learned. After activation, an additional 1 to 3 Combo Attack damage points could be additionally produced with each Combo Attack. Once 150 and above points were accumulated, he would be able to deal frighteningly high damage, which could cause Armor Ignore!

Finally, after 10 minutes of battling, blood was spilled!

Slice—

-6,012! (Critical Hit)

That scene was frozen in place!

The pupils of Yesterday Morning, who stood afar and was watching the show, instantly constricted—his eyeballs were about to drop out from staring too much!

How horrifying was the scene in front of him?

Lin Jie who wore armor carved with violent beasts and held a bloodthirsty Broken Blade in his hand, was slashing down! He had brutally sliced into Tomorrow Night’s head!

Tomorrow Night was still in the posture of piercing out with his dagger, while his eyes were full of disbelief. It was as if he could not accept the fact where he was killed.

Spash—

Fresh blood splattered out vigorously. With a fierce roar, Lin Jie grabbed Tomorrow Night’s corpse and threw it towards Yesterday Morning! That corpse dropped and turned two full rounds on the ground, creating a narrow and long bloodstain on the ground.

“This- this...” Yesterday Morning looked at his partner’s corpse in astonishment, then he turned to look at Lin Jie. He was appalled as he said, “You could actually see through the Vanishing Step?! Impossible! This is a top-tier Bandit technique, one of the Nine Great Techniques! Who do you think you are to be able to see through it?!”

Lin Jie smiled coldly as fresh blood dripped down from his Broken Blade’s tip. He glared straight at Yesterday Morning and walked towards him step by step. “You want to know? Why don’t you come and try it then?”

Killing Tomorrow Night was far harder than one could imagine! Although Lin Jie could predict Tomorrow Night’s movement trajectory with his habit, Tomorrow Night was an expert and was sensitive towards danger. Also, it was not guaranteed when Tomorrow Night might move left.

Just when Tomorrow Night decided to attack, Lin Jie had released a Water Surge spell to his right beforehand. At that moment, he was alarmed by his instincts towards danger, and in addition to him consciously changing his habit, his body had naturally moved left. Meanwhile, Lin Jie was already ready to attack by then with Shield Cut slashing down!

Who would have expected that at that moment, Tomorrow Night would actually use Backstab onto his chest? The damage was low, but it forcibly changed his direction and caused him to stop. Although he was still unable to avoid Lin Jie’s attack, the damage received would be reduced greatly.

Just at that moment, Lin Jie had activated the Army of the Dead and summoned a few Ghouls to explode beside him, which also caused his Broken Blade’s attack to change direction and just slice into Tomorrow Night’s head!

In that short duration of a second, the two opponents had already been through many rounds of battles, which resulted in such a scene now!

It could be said that Lin Jie had gone through much trouble in this battle to win. First, he had pretended to be weak, setting up the trap step by step as he analyzed his opponent to draw him in. The only pity was that his opponent was very cautious too. Next was to delay for time, forcing the opponent to make a move before the end of the skill to create a chance for himself. Lastly, Lin Jie had made use of the skill and his opponent’s subconscious reaction to pull the opponent into his rhythm. Together with his precise execution, he had finally succeeded in killing Tomorrow Night.

Tomorrow Night, one of the Shadow Kill’s Grim Reaper and the person that had grasped Vanishing Step, one of the Bandit’s Nine Great Techniques, had died under Lin Jie’s hands just like that!

However, Lin Jie did not feel relaxed at all as he knew that Tomorrow Night would slowly get rid of such a flaw. By then, Vanishing Step would really become unpredictable! It would definitely be much harder to beat him the next time they met. Also, the Bandit’s Combo Attack ability was extremely powerful, so their purpose for entering the Blade Peak Canyon would naturally be to learn the Combo Attack Technique.

However, wasn’t the Combo Technique here for Warriors? What was he, a Bandit, doing here? Was it possible that the techniques from two jobs could be interlinked?

“You’ve killed my brother, you’re done for! Starting today, you will experience endless assassinations from me. Come and bear my anger!” shouted Yesterday Morning angrily. His machete swelled up two times larger than before, and the reflection from his sword pierced Lin Jie’s eyes!

Parry!

Just when Lin Jie was about to block, he realized that the blinding light had disappeared, and Yesterday Morning was nowhere to be found!

Yesterday Morning’s step was not as proficient as Tomorrow Night, so he was aware that he could not defeat Lin Jie and retreated. The principle of mercenaries was not to make unnecessary sacrifices. Although what Yesterday Morning did was vexing, it was the correct thing to do.

“Looks like I have two more enemies.” Lin Jie touched his nose and could not help but give a bitter smile. “However, these two are also those that will mysteriously disappear three years later. Maybe, I’ll be able to find some clues from them.”

Lin Jie had gained much after that battle. Such battles, which made one always be on tenterhook and blood boil with excitement, the more, the better! The more ruthless the battle was, the faster he could increase his strength! However, it was a shame that Yesterday Morning escaped so quickly, or else he could have another battle.

Lin Jie activated Wild Charge, and his Movement Speed increased greatly. After his speed reached the maximum, he released a Blade Aura from his Broken Blade, which exploded on the wall. The force from the explosion immediately pushed Lin Jie back while on his original spot, only a faint afterimage could be seen, as if it were the Vanishing Step.

However, it was the knock-off version.

Tomorrow Night had already successfully learned Vanishing Step and was proficient in it, so it was difficult to observe the nature of the step. However, if he could battle with Yesterday Morning and observe the Streamline Step that Yesterday Morning had yet to perfect, then Lin Jie would definitely be able to learn much more.

Lin Jie sat in his original spot, and as he recovered his health, he also reviewed the experience he had obtained from the battle. Only after detailedly looking back did he stand up and feel around Tomorrow Night’s corpse.

Ding~

A bottle of poison was dropped.

[Inferior Poisonous Phoenix Dragon’s Tail Poison]: One-time item, poison. The target will be infected with Phoenix Poison, and the target’s Regeneration Speed will become 0. The target will lose 150 Health Points every second until the target dies.

‘Such a potent poison!’ If one did not have methods to detoxify it, they would die in tens of seconds after being poisoned.

It was a pity that the daggers on Tomorrow Night were not dropped, or else they could be sold for a high price!

Lin Jie continued sitting at the same spot for another half an hour. He sent his Silver-Feathered Eagle to patrol the surroundings and used Blade Aura to sweep around every corner to ensure that there were no signs of those two in that region anymore. Only then did Lin Jie heave a sigh of relief and stood in front of the Boss, preparing to kill it.

That Boss had already been tied up by its bloody hand and was unable to move. Lin Jie went behind the throne and moved many pieces of wood and rocks from the ruins, building a semi-closed building. He then stood at the entrance and started using Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner to carefully attack.

The king of Ogres, a Dark Gold Overlord, let out ferocious roars. Unfortunately, with its dried-up body, which did not absorb any fresh blood, it was unable to resist at all. It could only lose its health points with Lin Jie’s Blade Aura little by little!

In the distance...

Yesterday Morning, who was in Stealth Mode, was hanging upside down at the top of a rock. He had the special item [Gravity-Changing Apparatus], so it was extremely convenient when walking in the cave. It was also due to that skill he could escape from Lin Jie’s inch-by-inch search.

‘That bast*rd, he’s too vigilant that it’s frightening. It has been a total of over an hour, he still has not let his guard down, setting things up so perfectly and even building such a building. Who the heck is able to ambush him now? I thought that he had discovered us by chance, but now it seems he was already on guard beforehand. Tomorrow Night, that fatso, dying in his hands, can be counted as a worthy death.’ Yesterday Morning felt helpless as he saw Lin Jie, who almost closed himself up, in the distance.

Lin Jie was like an egg without cracks, no matter how those two flies tried, they would not be able to fly inside...

After letting out a sigh, Yesterday Morning turned and disappeared within the light of the returning scroll as he could not see any hope of revenge. Through this battle, he had also learned quite a lot. Therefore, he had to draw a lesson from the experience of the fight and perfect the Streamline Step so that it could evolve to Hundred Streamline Step or even... Thousand Streamline Step!
