Chapter 132 - 132: All the Hidden Cards Revealed
“I’ve underestimated them!” Song Jian thought to himself.
At this moment, Song Jian was surrounded by four martial arts disciples. Each time they attacked, although their power wasn’t great, they could cause a momentary stiffness, making Song Jian’s dagger-wielding movements disjointed.

Song Jian’s defensive equipment was quite high, making it difficult for ordinary monsters below level five to break through his defense and cause substantial damage. However, these martial arts disciples were half a level higher than ordinary monsters and were considered elite monsters. If they were encountered outside, they would be considered mini-bosses.
Boom-
Another punch landed on Song Jian’s shoulder, causing his dagger to become momentarily stiff. This allowed the martial arts disciple before him to guard with ease. Although this attack could have caused fifty or sixty points of damage, it ultimately only inflicted a dozen or so points.
More than a dozen martial arts disciples surrounded Song Jian, continuously throwing punches. However, only the four disciples immediately around him could cause him any harm, but he could still hold out for some time.
After persisting for three minutes, Song Jian’s 300-plus Vitality Points had been reduced by over a hundred. Thanks to his vitality recovery speed, he managed to last this long, but he hadn’t managed to take down a single martial arts disciple in this time.
“I can’t keep going like this,” Song Jian frowned.
He originally thought his strength was already formidable, but now he realized that he was still lacking in many ways. At the very least, he currently lacked an escape or movement skill.
“Damn!” Song Jian gradually became angrier. He swung his left hand forward, unleashing a dazzling silver Sword Qi from his index finger. Sweeping horizontally, enemies in a fan-shaped area before him suffered over a hundred points of damage to their heads.
Burst!
With a soft shout, the martial arts disciple facing him exploded into a puff of green smoke. His nearly hundred Vitality Points were instantly emptied, and he slumped to the ground, dropping two white-quality items.
Although he had killed a martial arts disciple, another one quickly took his place and continued attacking Song Jian.
In no time, Song Jian was pushed back repeatedly, feeling increasingly frustrated. He had never experienced a battle like this before.
“Summon Blood Crows!”
With this thought, Song Jian’s surroundings suddenly erupted in dazzling light; a bloody Hexagram Array appeared around him.
Whoosh-
Thirty Blood Crows flew out from the Hexagram Array, forming a bloody mist as they rushed toward the surrounding martial arts disciples.
For a moment, more than a dozen martial arts disciples were thrown into chaos by the Blood Crows, giving Song Jian a chance to catch his breath.
Earth Teeth Assault!
A dazzling tusk-like Qi rushed towards a martial arts disciple with the lowest vitality, sending him flying. When he fell back to the ground, he had already become a corpse.
Song Jian brandished his dagger and lunged towards the disordered martial arts disciples. Blood Crows surrounded him, continuously flapping their wings and pecking at nearby enemies. Though the Blood Crows’ damage was low, only causing a point or two of damage to these elite monsters, their sheer number made up for their lack of power. With their wings flapping, they surrounded the martial arts disciples, giving the illusion that they were besieged.
Song Jian broke free from the encirclement, and for a moment, his firepower was fully unleashed. The rocket launcher’s cooldown time was over, and he immediately took it out, aimed at the boxing disciples who were only two or three meters away, and pulled the trigger;
Boom-
A burst of fire almost exploded in front of him, the hot air rushing toward his face. However, fortunately, this was a game and there was no friendly fire, otherwise, Song Jian wouldn’t dare to fire a rocket at such a close distance;
Boom-
Another rocket was fired towards the area with the most boxing disciples, exploding in the crowd. The already injured boxing disciples were instantly killed, taking out five or six of them;
The remaining boxing disciples had only a little over a hundred Vitality Points left, and they were all injured;
The number of Blood Crows rapidly decreased. These Blood Crows didn’t have much Vitality, and they could only withstand three or four hits from the boxing disciples. If they weren’t agile, they would have been smashed to pieces as soon as they appeared;
Thud-
A Blood Crow’s Vitality Points were depleted by a boxing disciple’s punch and it exploded into a cloud of blood mist. The dead Blood Crow would return to the Blood Pool to be reborn, and during this time, Song Jian could not summon it again;
Seeing that there were only seven or eight boxing disciples left, and all of them were severely injured, a smile appeared on Song Jian’s face. There were still three Blood Crows, and they all perched on Song Jian’s shoulders. Song Jian’s Vitality Points were visibly recovering quickly, and in just a few seconds, it had increased from half to a safe range;
It was only now that the full benefit of getting an SSS rating in the previous mainline mission became apparent. With a 500% increase in Vitality recovery speed, it was hard for Song Jian to die, and it saved him a lot of medical expenses in the absence of medical treatment;
The severely injured boxing disciples were fearless, showing no sign of fear. They stared at Song Jian and lunged at him once again;
This time, Song Jian didn’t give them a chance to surround him. He moved continuously, and his Tusk Fang Stinger in hand was like the Death God’s scythe, constantly harvesting the boxing disciples’ lives;
In less than a minute, Song Jian had killed all the remaining boxing disciples. There were at least eleven or twelve items with white light scattered on the floor. The output of the dungeon was indeed much higher than that of the outside world;
By now, Gao Da Nian and Lin Sheng had already reduced the Boss’s Vitality by a third, and both of their Vitality Points were still above 80%. They were very cautious in their fight, preferring to abandon an attack opportunity rather than suffering damage from the Boss;
A smile appeared on Song Jian’s face. This was the most orthodox way to fight in the game, mainly because there were too few items and skills to recover Vitality;
There was only a ten-second cooldown for the rocket, and when it was ready, Song Jian took it out and aimed it at the Boxing Gym Master, who was constantly swinging his fists. He then pulled the trigger;
A slight vibration was felt as the rocket screamed towards the Boss. Lin Sheng let out a strange cry and quickly hid to the side;
Gao Da Nian remained calm, still carrying his axe and attacking the Boss;
The Boxing Gym Master was equipped with a tiger-shaped boxing glove, and the sharp tusks protruded from them. The tusks and the axe constantly collided, creating countless sparks;
“Gao Da Nian, run! The rocket is coming!” Lin Sheng, who was worried that Gao Da Nian hadn’t noticed the rocket, frantically yelled from a distance;
Boom-
The rocket hit the Boss hard, followed by a violent explosion. Almost a hundred points of damage appeared above the Boss’s head, but Gao Da Nian, resisting the hot blast, managed to fiercely hack at the Boss twice, taking away nearly eighty Vitality Points;
“Friendly fire is nullified in a dungeon party!” Gao Da Nian glanced at Lin Sheng, taking the opportunity to catch his breath. This message appeared as soon as they entered the dungeon system, but Lin Sheng was too absorbed in the battle and forgot;
Lin Sheng’s face turned slightly red. He said nothing, clenched his dagger, and rushed towards the Boss. Meanwhile, Song Jian pulled the trigger once again;
