"Humph … The things that you've described …" K3 laughed as he grabbed Feng Bujue's collar with one hand. "I'm not interested in them at all." His right arm was already raised. "No matter what kind of existence you are in your world, in my world, you are nothing more than a set of data projection that stands before me."
The fist moved, and a red light flashed. This attack was headed straight for Feng Bujue, and Feng Bujue's death was certain.
This time, K3 grabbed his opponent directly and aimed a punch at his opponent's face. He did not care whether Feng Bujue had used his own power to evade the attack earlier or not. After all, the kid would not be able to evade this attack again.
With a bang, K3's fist landed on a hard object. When the energy around the fist collided with the object, there was even a flash of light.
Feng Bujue did not feel any impact on his head. For some reason, Casey Jones' Mask automatically changed to its display state and appeared on his face.
One second later, there was a series of cracking sounds. The hockey mask on Feng Bujue's face was already filled with cracks, and it quickly disintegrated into countless data fragments before disintegrating into dust.
"Your equipment, Casey Jones' Mask, has been destroyed.
"The bonus from your fighting mastery has disappeared. You are currently at Level E."
The system notification announced these two pieces of very bad news.
Feng Bujue was caught off guard by this sudden change. He thought to himself, The equipment will be destroyed!
This time, Feng Bujue had miscalculated. He did not expect the main character's plot armor to forcefully save the player in such an irreversible situation … to trigger some kind of 'equivalent exchange'.
If he allowed K3 to use this foolproof method to continue to attack him, then the plot armor would upgrade this method of transferring damage. For example, the Life Points Recovery Potions in his inventory would be forcefully depleted, or the damage would be transferred to his other teammates in the scenario.
K3 realized that his opponent was still alive, and he was quite surprised. However, he did not hesitate. He used both of his fists and aimed at Feng Bujue's torso to deliver a barrage of jabs. Instantly, the shadows of the punches filled the air, but K3's fists landed on an invisible barrier. The force was neutralized by some kind of transparent medium.
This time, it was not the effect of the plot armor but the effect of Echo Armor. When Feng Bujue was knocked away, the sound wall did not work because the sound wall of the armor was outside the player's body, and Feng Bujue was hit when he was close to his opponent. But at that moment, the sound wall was triggered normally. Facing this kind of high-speed, multi-pronged attack, the sound wall had a very good defensive effect.
K3's jabs that had increased their speed and attack, naturally, their power was greatly reduced, so much so that they could not break through the defense of the armor..
If K3 had thrown another heavy punch, Feng Bujue would have had to rely on the plot armor to defend against it. However, he had changed his attack method to test Feng Bujue, but he did not expect it to backfire, and it made Feng Bujue's defense method even harder to predict.
The bullet that was aimed at the head missed its target for some unknown reason, and the heavy blow at close range was neutralized by the sudden appearance of the mask. From the flow of data, it is impossible to tell whether he has used some kind of sensory disruption skill or not, and it does not look like an active defensive skill … In these few seconds, K3's logic program was trying to figure out what Feng Bujue had done. A high-speed jab aimed at the torso covered all the organs, joints, bones, and diaphragms. If his reaction speed is indeed fast, he should be able to react on instinct and evade the attack … and if his strength is defense, then this round of attack should be able to find out where his weakness is.
But … he did not make any defensive move or evade. A set of data appeared without any warning and blocked my attack. Moreover, only when my fist was a certain distance away from his body would a defensive barrier appear and accurately block the point of impact of my fist. Is this the effect of a skill or equipment?
Even though the 'light' around the kid is brighter than a normal LV 18 player, his combat ability is definitely not as good as the two GMs. The one beside him, Meng Jingchan, is also more powerful than him. Why … why can't I kill him? "
K3's series of thoughts flashed through his mind in a short amount of time. As an AI, the area that he could think about was limited, but he was not slow when it came to solving problems.
Seeing that his attack was ineffective, he decided to use a more powerful skill to finish off the enemy.
The red dragon tattoo on his right arm glowed brightly. Even through the sleeve, the pattern of the dragon could be seen clearly. A shocking aura burst forth, and like a pair of invisible hands, it pressed down on Feng Bujue's shoulders, immobilizing him.
"You are more difficult to deal with than I thought …" K3 was still smirking coldly. "I do want to see how long you can last."
K3's fighting style was simple and direct, and it was dominating. Since the previous attacks were useless, he would strengthen his attack. If it still did not work, he would use a more powerful attack … and so on, increasing his destructive power. So far, there had not been anyone who could force him to use his full power. In his previous battles, as K3's combat ability increased, his opponents would have to keep up with him. But … including Wailu, all the monsters, players, and GMs that had died at the hands of K3-RED Iron … when they faced this opponent who was getting stronger and stronger, none of them could survive his' Red Dragon Fist '.
"Again?" Was Feng Bujue the kind of person who would allow his opponent to destroy two of his equipment? Definitely not.
Just as K3 raised his arm, Feng Bujue used an awkward posture to turn his body to the side. He extended his leg to trip K3 and used the godly skill, Child's Lower Whip Kick. This was the last Lower Whip Kick. After this trip, this consumable skill disappeared from Feng Bujue's skill bar.
"You've got to be kidding me …" K3's question was supposed to be a rhetorical question, but before he could finish, the mocking question was cut off because he fell face first …
Mischievous Kid's Lower Whip Kick was only effective against monsters, and Feng Bujue had used it with a bit of hope. But in reality, the system did treat the materialized Anomalies as a kind of 'monster'.
Feng Bujue moved to the side to avoid him. He stood behind him and took out a weapon from his inventory. He did not use the wrench or the steel knife but took out an even more vicious weapon — the stool.
At that moment, Meng Jingchan arrived. Looking at K3, who was on the ground, he was confident that he had many ways to finish off this Anomaly.
"You like to fight so much, don't you?" As Feng Bujue spoke, he raised the Stool of the Eighteen Bronze Statues (No. 5). "I've lost my equipment and used my skill," he said with annoyance. "I'll fight with you until you're satisfied!"
As he said that, the stool fell.
Name: Qiang Feng
Skill Card Attribute: Active, Permanent
[Skill Type: Fighting]
Effect: The power of the next slash will increase by 30% (Must use a bladed weapon to activate this skill. Cooldown: 5 minutes)
Consumption: 5% of maximum Stamina Points
[Prerequisite: Fighting D, Level 20 and above]
[Remark: A slash that exceeds one's limit can sometimes change the outcome of a battle.]
This was an ordinary but very practical skill. Although it was not the title skill of [Cold Faced Killer], it was the skill that Meng Jingchan used the most frequently. Looking at its effects, consumption, and learning requirements, this skill seemed to be very balanced. At higher levels, there should be passive skills with similar effects that could replace it. However, before level 30, for players with bladed weapons, this skill was definitely a jack of all trades.
Otherwise, why would he be called a cold-faced killer? At the crucial moment, he would act quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly. Moreover, his facial expression would not change significantly. He was a proper cold-faced killer.
Screech —
After the slash, there was a strange sound. This could only mean one thing — K3's head was not so easily chopped off.
A red wall appeared on K3's skin. This defense was similar to Feng Bujue's Echo Armor. It blocked Meng Jingchan's slash, and K3's flesh was not even scratched.
Feng Bujue used the stool to knock on K3's spine. He was quite vicious. His attack was not blocked by some invisible force, but … he did not hear the sound of bones breaking, and he did not see blood seeping out from K3's clothes. Feng Bujue felt like he was massaging the back of someone who practiced Iron Shirt. He did not feel any pain. Even he was thinking … if not for the fact that the stool was indestructible, it would have snapped long ago.
This short switch between attack and defense only lasted for less than ten seconds.
K3 had never been at such a disadvantage before. After he completed the whole 'falling down' action, he finally regained the ability to stand up. During this process, Meng Jingchan and Feng Bujue did not hold back when they attacked the back of his neck and spine.
However, K3 managed to hold on. He knew very well that the moment he stood up, he would regain control of the battle. Even though the tripping skill was despicable, it also proved one thing — these two players did not have any 'ultimate skill'!
K3's analysis was not wrong. Indeed, Feng Bujue and Meng Jingchan did not have the kind of powerful active skill that could be used in a single attack. If they had such a skill, those few seconds would have been the best and only chance to use it.
Unfortunately, they were both players who knew when to advance and when to retreat. Neither of them had the intention to learn such a skill. Therefore, what happened earlier happened. Meng Jingchan's attack was buffed with a buff skill, but Feng Bujue only used a normal attack.
It was normal that K3 did not die. Meng Jingchan's slash had drained some of his Aura Shield. As for Feng Bujue, whose fighting mastery had dropped to E, using something that could not even be considered a weapon to attack K3, after so many hits, he only lost about five percent of K3's Life Points.
"Ha … this is hilarious." K3 was certain by then that the two before him had no chance of killing him. Even if he stood there and allowed them to hit him, they would need a long time to do so. "Die!"
He suddenly roared and slashed with his right arm, sending out a blade of air. This attack was not as fast as his finger flicks earlier, but it was not something that the two players could dodge easily. Its power was even more shocking. When it was activated, the slash was about the width of a blade, but when it was fully released in midair, it felt like a cement pipe was sweeping through the air …
It had to be said that Meng Jingchan was indeed impressive. With his quick reaction, he barely managed to dodge this attack.
Facing this slash that was aimed at their chest, most people would bend their knees, bend their waist, or lean down to avoid it. But Meng Jingchan was different. His first reaction was to jump upward. Like a monkey, he slithered up a tree trunk not far behind him. Even though the tree was snapped in half two seconds later, at least Meng Jingchan himself was not hit.
And Feng Bujue … also dodged. How did he do that? It was guided by the main character's plot armor …
The process could be said to be inexplicable. The moment K3's arm started to move, the visual signal was on its way to Feng Bujue's brain, and the main character's plot armor was activated. When Feng Bujue's brain reacted to what he saw and ordered his body to dodge, he felt his feet slip … and on the relatively flat ground outside the shrine, without anything tripping him … he fell face first into the air.
It was as if the friction between Feng Bujue's feet and the ground had been reduced to zero. The slightest force caused him to slide like a zombie, and his whole body landed on the ground in one second. Even if he had voluntarily bent over, he would not have landed on the ground faster than this.
A gust of wind swept past, and Feng Bujue managed to dodge K3's attack while lying on the ground. Only this half a meter above the ground was unaffected by the impact. However, the thing that Feng Bujue was worried about still happened. Just as he fell, the system announcement rang in his ears.
"Your item Life Points Recovery Potion (M) has been used.
"Your item Life Points Recovery Potion (M) has been used."
Two similar announcements rang out, and Feng Bujue's head was about to explode. Even in this dangerous situation, he remembered very clearly that he only had two medium Life Points Recovery Potions!
Medium Life Points Recovery Potions could recover fifty percent of his Life Points each, but considering the diminishing effect of using them consecutively within a short period of time … Feng Bujue glanced at the Life Points bar on the menu. His Life Points were now at eighty-nine percent, not full yet.
Even though Feng Bujue had managed to dodge the slash, the Life Points Recovery Potion was still wasted by the main character's plot armor. This was because his Life Points Recovery Potion would have dropped as well … Therefore, under the principle of a main character not dying, he had to recover some Life Points no matter what.
"Curiosity killed the cat …" Feng Bujue jumped up from the ground. "If I had quit before I met you, there wouldn't have been so much trouble, but now … the loss is still increasing."
K3 looked at Feng Bujue and scoffed. "I don't know what kind of loss you are referring to, but I am surprised that you are still alive."
"But … this is just too good." Feng Bujue started to laugh. "It is because of the various conditions in this scenario that I am able to fight against a monster as strong as you."
At that moment, the hot-blooded people would have fought K3 to the death due to the loss of equipment, skills, and items. The calmer people would have exited the scenario immediately to prevent the loss from increasing and rationally reflect on their previous decision.
Feng Bujue's thought was strange. He thought that this situation was very 'rare'. Without the plot armor, it would have been easy for K3 to kill him. Without Meng Jingchan, he would not have had any chance to fight back.
To be able to run into an Anomaly was already a rare thing. To be able to fight against an incredibly powerful Anomaly for as long as possible, for someone like Feng Bujue who only had E Fighting Mastery, this was an experience that was hard to come by.
"Like I said, if you want to fight, I will fight you until the end!" Feng Bujue's body suddenly glowed red. The color was slightly different from K3's aura, closer to the color of blood. The temperature around him rose, and the air became blurry.
After his Life Points recovered, Feng Bujue used Body Enhancement Spell again, and Death Poker appeared in his hand.
"Oh? You can still use such power? "K3 was naturally competitive. Seeing his opponent's fighting spirit, he was naturally excited.
A level three Anomaly naturally had something like a 'personality' in terms of intelligence. Although the Four Pillar Gods and their subordinates, who were of a higher status and possessed Uniqueness, also had their own personalities, these were all "set" by the system. And the personality of an Anomaly was like that of a human. It was formed from memory, experience, and other factors.
K3 was not the only one who liked to fight. His personality was quite common among Anomalies. For them, fighting was a matter of life and death. They were physical data waiting to be killed, not players who could return to the log-in lobby after they died. No matter how strong the enemy was, they only had one choice, and that was to try to destroy the enemy.
This way of thinking and action was imposed on them by a higher existence than the Anomaly. If an Anomaly was a life form, then from the moment they were born, killing everything that stood in their way was their only value, and no one could say that was wrong. Only by following this principle could they survive and evolve …
"Okay … then come at me," K3 said excitedly. "Kill or be killed, that is our destiny. You want to understand the Anomaly, right? The best way to communicate is to drain the blood of your fake projections. "
