Chapter 145 - 145 Victory
The crimson crosshair kept moving across Jia Ke Si, bringing joy to Song Jian’s heart. With his experience, the longer the crosshair existed, the higher chance it had of finding a weakness.
Sure enough, the crosshair finally stopped on Jia Ke Si’s left waist, indicating a red area about the size of a palm.
“Lin Sheng, Gao Da Nian, attack Jia Ke Si’s left waist!” Song Jian yelled aloud.
“Bro, I can’t stop!” Lin Sheng howled in desperation. His dodge skill had improved by more than 80% with his increase in speed. Otherwise, he would’ve died long ago under Jia Ke Si’s raging flurry of attacks. Jia Ke Si’s attacks were rapid and tight, with his weapon swirling above Lin Sheng’s head. It was emitting intense energy as it relentlessly pursued Lin Sheng.
Although Gao Da Nian could attack Jia Ke Si, he was too slow to catch up with the speedier Lin Sheng and Jia Ke Si. He could only follow behind them, eating their dust. If the arena wasn’t so small, he would’ve lost sight of them already. “Run this way!” Song Jian bellowed.
Lin Sheng’s figure drastically curved, managing to dodge Jia Ke Si’s attack by rolling and crawling. A chilly blade mark remained in the air.
“Damn, I should’ve not executed the Backstab skill earlier,” Lin Sheng gritted his teeth, muttering to himself.
The last Backstab had dealt terrifying critical damage, causing Jia Ke Si to focus his aggro on him. Seeing that the speed-boost effect only had three seconds left, Lin Sheng panicked.
Hearing Song Jian’s voice, Lin Sheng didn’t hesitate and immediately ran towards Song Jian’s location.
“Brother Song, save me!” Lin Sheng screamed, with a hint of whining.
Song Jian stood to the left, clutching the “Tusk Fang Stinger” securely in his hand.
Lin Sheng dashed past Song Jian, with Jia Ke Si chasing behind him, swinging his weapon. The weapon had again transformed into a brass lamppost. The huge lamppost whizzed through the air, leaving a replica mark as it aimed for Lin Sheng’s retreating back.
Right then, Song Jian’s dagger pierced towards Jia Ke Si’s left waist like a venomous snake, similar to a predatory cobra striking a fleeting bird.
Splat-
The “Tusk Fang Stinger” accurately stabbed into Jia Ke Si’s left waist, the spot that was recognized as his weak point. In reality, it was also an old injury of Jia Ke Si. This offensive tore through Jia Ke Si’s defense. The blade penetrated a third of the way in before being arrested by Jia Ke Si’s muscles. The gushing blood painted half of Song Jian’s body red, making him look like a blood man.
Jia Ke Si issued a pained growl, originally intended to strike in front. Now, the brass lamppost curved to strike at Song Jian who was occupying Jia Ke Si’s left side, leaving a deep mark on the arena floor that was more than a foot long. It went from bottom to top.
The wind roared, the chilly energy slashed Song Jian’s face, leaving multiple bloody marks. A thought raced through Song Jian’s mind. He wouldn’t be able to dodge this blow anyhow. If so, he could only counter…
Song Jian let out a low growl as he focused all his strength into his hands. His hands firmly grasped the handle of the dagger and his whole body pressed forward.
Squelch-
Another gush of blood shot out as the entire dagger blade sunk into flesh. Song Jian even pushed Jia Ke Si’s body and threw himself forward a few steps.
Thump-
The brass lamppost left a mark in the air before fiercely landing on Song Jian’s shoulder. His right shoulder, which had already recovered, once more made a cracking sound akin to a fracture.
Over a hundred points of critical damage floated above Song Jian’s head and his vitality points gone down significantly, making hearts shudder.
Pin down!
Gao Da Nian, who had been relentlessly chasing, also joined the battle. On seeing the damage over Song Jian’s head, Gao Da Nian’s eyes turned red. The wrench in his hand smashed fiercely onto Jia Ke Si.
Clink-
The wrench head’s screw rotated automatically. Its jaws resembled a beast’s gaping mouth, firmly gripping the brass lamppost held by Jia Ke Si.
“Lin Sheng!” Gao Da Nian roared, his face distorted.
“Deathblow!” Lin Sheng’s figure shot out like a specter. Although the speed boost effect had worn off, his action of pouncing on Jia Ke Si was still as swift as a leopard.
Lin Sheng’s vitality point, which was more than 80% restored, plummeted like a dam had been breached. His defense and resistance also dropped to zero. All his attributes had been converted into attack power as they converged onto Lin Sheng’s strike.
If this wasn’t the final boss, if Jia Ke Si wasn’t already nearing death, Lin Sheng wouldn’t have used this move!
If he used this move and the enemy didn’t die, Lin Sheng would be the one to die!
A critical damage value of over 180 points appeared above Jia Ke Si’s head. Jia Ke Si was now left with under a hundred vitality points. Lin Sheng’s explosive damage was enough to kill him.
Song Jian withdrew his dagger and sat on the arena floor. Gao Da Nian released the wrench and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. Lin Sheng was in worse condition, like a lump of goo lying on the arena. If not for the gentle rise and fall of his chest, he might have been mistaken for a corpse.
“Do you know what the ultimate weapon is?” Jia Ke Si suddenly spoke.
“Dammit, this guy isn’t dead yet!” The pretending-to-be-dead Lin Sheng was startled and quickly rolled towards the edge of the arena.
Gao Da Nian bounced up from the arena floor like a spring. He grabbed his wrench and held it protectively in front of his chest.
Song Jian’s face also revealed a surprised expression, looking towards Jia Ke Si’s overhead vitality points. Now, Jia Ke Si’s vitality points were only left with one point; moreover, it seemed to be locked and wouldn’t decrease further.
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Let’s cheer! Our three warriors have predictedly beaten Jia Ke Si, the one who calls himself weapon master but is often overlooked!” The chubby commentator roared. However, the surrounding audience didn’t seem too impressed and collectively let out boos.
“To become a weapon master, you must be proficient with all sorts of weapons. Just now, 1 demonstrated how to switch among different weapons and how to ingeniously connect their use. If you wish to take up the profession of weapon master, come find me.” Jia Ke Si said slowly, glancing at Song Jian.
