BXBX NOVEL Chapter 265: Slaves
Boom-
Song Jian moved extremely fast, and with a slash of his sword, he fiercely struck Chu Ping’s chest. The sound of bones cracking echoed, and in an instant, Chu Ping’s Vitality Points plummeted, with his chest bones completely shattered.
Blood uncontrollably sprayed from his mouth, and he no longer had any strength in his body. With blood frothing at the corners of his mouth, Chu Ping tried to retreat, but suddenly felt a surge of energy rising from his feet, causing his body to uncontrollably float into the air.
“A floating state!” Despair appeared on Chu Ping’s face as his heart sank. He knew that in this state, his body would be completely defenseless, and he would inevitably suffer even more damage than usual!
“Will I die here?” This thought crossed Chu Ping’s mind for the first time.
“He has an ext….” Chu Ping roared, trying to cause trouble for Song Jian before he died.
Qi Yun had originally been focusing on healing Ma Jiang, but after seeing Ma Jiang being slashed apart by Song Jian, he quickly cast a Healing Skill on Ma Jiang. However, the situation changed in an instant, as it only took one strike from Song Jian to leave Chu Ping in a nearly dead state.
Qi Yun hurriedly interrupted the Healing Skill he was casting on Ma Jiang, waving his Magic Staff, and shifted his focus to healing Chu Ping instead.
Qi Yun quickly cast an instant Healing Skill on himself, slightly raising his Vitality Points. He then began chanting a spell, preparing to release an even stronger Healing Skill.
At that moment, Song Jian raised his left hand, his index finger shining with a silver light. A terrifyingly powerful silver Sword Qi was released, directly piercing Qi Yun’s forehead and penetrating his skull.
Sword Finger!
It was an incredibly swift and sharp strike that nobody saw coming. Chu Ping couldn’t even see how this attack was executed. All he saw was a dazzling silver Sword Qi.
Thud-
Chu Ping’s corpse fell from the sky and landed on the ground, rolling twice before becoming still.
Dumbstruck, Qi Yun stared at the system prompt:
System: Your healing target has died, rendering your healing ineffective. The skill has failed, and has entered a cooldown period.
“He died just like that? Even with my healing, he still…” Qi Yun found it hard to accept the situation.
Song Jian was simply too fast. He had initially been targeting Ma Jiang, but in the blink of an eye, he pivoted and, using the acceleration from the “Broken Wing Dance”, directed his remaining two attacks towards Chu Ping.
In his floating state, Song Jian unleashed the incredibly swift Sword Finger. Even if Chu Ping had been at full health, the level two Sword Finger would have caused over 75 points of physical damage as well as an additional 80 points of Metal-element damage.
Even if Qi Yun had managed to cast a Healing Skill on Chu Ping, restoring 50 Vitality Points, it wouldn’t have changed Chu Ping’s fate in the end!
After killing Chu Ping, Song Jian didn’t even look at the loot he dropped. Instead, he turned towards Ma Jiang, stomping his foot and sending a fanged whirlwind roaring towards Ma Jiang.
Ma Jiang glanced at Song Jian and unexpectedly turned around and ran for his life. He had less than ten seconds left until the effects of his Rage Potion wore off. Even with Qi Yun constantly healing him within this short period of time, it was impossible to kill Song Jian. Once the potion’s effect wore off and he entered a weakened state, with a 30% reduction in his overall attributes, there would only be one path left: death.
At this moment, while the potion had not yet lost its effect, preserving his life was the most crucial thing to do!
Boom!
Earth Teeth Assault struck Ma Jiang from behind, causing a 50-point damage floating above his head. Ma Jiang stumbled, almost falling to the ground but ultimately managing to run towards the distance without looking back.
Seeing Ma Jiang run away, Qi Yun was dumbfounded. He was the slowest member of their team. Watching his captain’s rapidly retreating figure and seeing the “wanted criminal” walk towards him step by step…
“Captain, you’re just going to run away and leave me behind?” Qi Yun didn’t know whether he should curse out loud or not.
“I never thought our captain was this terrible before. If I had known, I wouldn’t have healed him and just ran away! I’m a ranged attacker, and he’s a melee fighter!” Qi Yun felt like crying but had no tears to shed.
“I surrender, don’t kill me!” Qi Yun immediately raised his hands, looking at Song Jian with a frightened expression and shouting loudly.
System: Gathering Area 101 Hunt Team member, Qi Yun, is forced by your prowess to surrender to you! Please choose one of the following three options: Option 1: Accept surrender, claim ransom. Option 2: Accept surrender, make him your slave. Option 3: Decline surrender, kill him! Please make a choice within ten seconds!
Song Jian looked at Qi Yun closely as Qi Yun tried to give him a flattering but ugly smile.
“Do you have money?” Song Jian suddenly asked.
Qi Yun startled then pulled out all the money he had, saying, “I only have 32 Doomsday Coins!”
The habit of the hunting team was to spend all of their money on strengthening their equipment or other items to enhance their personal strength or deposit it at the bank. They wouldn’t carry too much money with them during missions.
Seeing the 32 Doomsday Coins in Qi Yun’s hand, Song Jian shook his head:
“Then become my slave!” Song Jian directly chose the second option:
Qi Yun’s face showed a mix of anger and uncertainty, clearly not mentally prepared to become a slave.
“If you don’t want to, I’ll kill you!” Song Jian said, his face filled with murderous intent.
“I… I’m willing to become your slave!” Qi Yun eventually nodded reluctantly, his face full of humiliation.
The moment Qi Yun agreed, a mysterious force surfaced on his forehead, imprinting a Magic Rune there.
Qi Yun trembled, opening his mouth to let out a painful scream, but no sound came out. The mysterious force then disappeared, leaving Qi Yun lying on the ground like a bag of mud, gasping for breath.
At this point, Song Jian discovered that he now had a slave interface, which showed all of Qi Yun’s attributes. Moreover, he could strip Qi Yun of his equipment at will.
Song Jian glanced over Qi Yun’s equipment. Most items were of white quality, and even the Healing Short Staff he was holding was only of green quality. Only the silver-quality sniper rifle seemed valuable.
Song Jian shook his head, removed the silver-quality sniper rifle, and put it in his own backpack. He then told Qi Yun, “From now on, focus on healing. Be a good healer and don’t think about attacking.”
As a main healer, Qi Yun primarily mastered common skills like the “Eagle Eye Skill” but could only perform basic attacks even with the sniper rifle. It was a waste of resources!
Hearing Song Jian’s words, Qi Yun’s face showed a mixture of shame and anger, but he ultimately nodded.
System: You have deprived your slave, Qi Yun, of an item, lowering his Loyalty Points to you by 10. Qi Yun’s current Loyalty Points towards you are now only 50. If they fall below 50 Points, there is a chance that your slave will try to escape!
