《World of Experts 》Chapter 5: Killing Batian
Advertisement
“Haha! Succeeded, I succeeded.” Seeing this, Wu Batian shouted wildly: “This is a god-given chance for me. My fate should be like this, my fate should be this! I am god’s favorite, no one can stop me.”
Wu Batian didn’t care about the life and death of those helper ‘mercenary’ players. He let them be killed by Red Tiger King. Wu Batian smiled, dismissed the team and threw the Raging Flames Bomb.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
“Heroic Overlord Under Heaven! You will not have a good death.” This group of ‘mercenary’ players knew that Heroic Overlord Under Heaven wouldn’t give them any money. Not only he didn’t care bout their life and death, but he also wanted to massacre them together with the Red Tiger King.
In fact, these ‘mercenary’ players also couldn’t blame Wu Batian. If they wanted to blame someone, then they had to blame themselves for not having brains. Wu Batian invited so many of them, how could he be able to truly bear their cost? Moreover, wouldn’t Wu Batain fear that these helpers would snatch his treasure after the boss was killed.
Wu Batian ignored their words. He let them say whatever they wanted, in any case, he was about to become this game’s man of the hour, then the Country Z’s man of the hour. At that time, Su Xiao, that little girl would be extremely easy to obtain.
The more he thought, the more he became excited, and his face naturally revealed a lewd expression. The trusted fighter behind him also smiled with him. They were jackals from the same lair.
“Oh! What a coincidence!” Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao walked out. Shi Hao was very dissatisfied with Heroic Overlord Under Heaven’s way of doing things. But he also didn’t come out to avenge those helper ‘mercenary’ players. How to say, those ten fellows had mocked him before. Moreover, they were all cheated with purely imaginary profit. Even if they died, they deserved it.
“Boss, be careful. This fighter is very weird.” The trusted aide of Heroic Overlord Under Heaven cautiously stood in the front. He still had a deep fear of Shi Hao.
“What are you afraid of? What kind of s*** are they? One is a foolish fighter, and the other is a knight with a bow. It’s truly ridiculous. Come, no need to doubt, I’m talking about you. I’ll stand here and let you shoot an arrow. Let’s see what kind of shitty skill a trash knight has.” Wu Batian was very confident.
Wu Batian’s confidence came from his strength.
Now, the other people were basically level 1, but he and the trusted aide behind him had already reached level 2. Such efficiency of level up was inseparable from his superb gears. The other people had just a piece of item, but he had three pieces. The difference in combat power was self-evident. The speed of fighting monsters was also worlds apart. Moreover, there were many people helping him and his trusted aide to level up!

In Wu Batian’s view, these two fellows before his eyes were also just level 1 rookies.
Moreover, Wu Batian had also obtained a skill book. It was dropped after those helper ‘mercenary’ players cleaned the monsters for a long time. And this skill book just happened to be a suitable skill for the commander profession, named Defense Barrier.
With Wu Batian having this skill, there was nothing to fear in a two-on-two situation. Finally, it had to be mentioned that Wu Batian’s gears were the best treasure at this moment.
Wu Batian complacently looked at his character panel.
Looking at this, the corners of Wu Batian’s rose high. He closed his character panel and quietly wait for Blowing Wing Left A Scar to use the bow to shoot him.
Hey! Wu Batian was too confident! His lackey had obviously warned him that Shake the Heaven was very weird. But Wu Batian didn’t believe it.
Upon a closer look, Feng Tianhao’s current attack was 22 [TN: 20*1.1 = 22]. Feng Tianhao shot an arrow. Swish, Wu Batian was left with just half HP.
“It hurts!” Wu Batian was startled. He was actually injured! He hastily yelled: “Quickly come and block this fellow’s attack. I’m dying! These two people might also be level 2!”
Wu Batian’s lackey made a wry smile. I had obviously told you to be a bit more careful, but you didn’t listen, now, you only have half HP.
However, that person obediently stood in front of Wu Batian and protected him in earnest. There was no other way, who asked Wu Batian to be his little boss in the real world?
Feng Tianhao’s hand speed was not slow. He quickly shot another arrow.
This time, Wu Batian directly used Defense Barrier, and the defense of his lackey reached 21. Therefore, Wu Batian estimated that his lackey wouldn’t be injured after blocking that arrow.
Wu Batian smiled. The corners of his mouth rose up.
“Ouch! It’s over…” That lackey fighter shouted. Although he only lost 2 HP, it made him panic. He also had just 10 HP. If Blowing Wind Left A Scar shot a few more arrows, then he would die.
Blowing Wind Left A Scar would naturally fulfill his fear. Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, several arrows flew out and that fighter directly fell to the ground and lied motionless. There was nothing to say.
Wu Batian was dumbstruck.
Shi Hao stepped forward, walked three laps around Heroic Overlord Under Heaven, and walked another three laps and said: “You have good treasures on you, be sensible and hand them over. If you hand them over, I’ll let you go.”
Wu Batian retreated a few steps. His complexion was gloomy. Wu Batian understood that these two fellows were definitely ruthless characters with powerful connections! Moreover, they definitely had skills!
Wu Batian thought, the game had just started now, and reaching level 2 was not counted as ‘harder than climbing to the sky’. But it truly was a big project if one wanted to obtain a skill! Wu Batian had relied on a lot of ‘free’ laborers to drop a skill book from low-leveled monsters. The drop-rate of a skill book from high-leveled monsters should be a lot higher, but who could fight against them? Wu Batian judged that these two people in front of him had skills! The two people simultaneously possessed a skill, moreover, they simultaneously appeared in front of him to rob him!

Wu Batian’s eyes turned black and said: “Today, I, Heroic Overlord Under Heaven admit defeat. Tell me, which force’s ruthless characters are you two, let me know before losing!”
In fact, this couldn’t be blamed on Wu Batian’s misjudgment. After all, Shi Hao’s skill was very abnormal. It was easy to cause misunderstandings. The more people, the greater the misunderstanding.
At this time, Shi Hao also didn’t recognize that this Heroic Overlord Under Heaven was Wu Batian.
Actually, it was very unlikely for anyone to use their true face and voice, letting the other people discern their real identity at a glance. Shi Hao was like this, Feng Tianhao was like this and Wu Batian was also like this. It was normal to not recognize people.
However, not recognizing really didn’t mean that Shi Hao would let this Heroic Overlord Under Heaven go. This fellow was not somebody easy to deal with. Killing so many ‘mercenary’ players just now was the best explanation.
Shi Hao glared, took a step towards Heroic Overlord Under Heaven and berated: “Is our identity something a shrimp-like you can inquire about? Quickly hand over all things and I’ll have mercy on you and not kill you. Otherwise, you can go to prison like your underlings and taste the flavor!”
After seeing the matter had already reached this point, Heroic Overlord Under Heaven didn’t hesitate too much. If he dies now, not only would he return to level 1, but the system would also place him in confinement for three game-days. When he came out afterward, with his strength of level 1 rookie, would those helper ‘mercenary’ players he killed let him off?
“As long as you don’t die, at the least, you don’t need to fear those ‘mercenary’ players’ retaliation.” Wu Batian secretly made up his mind. He took off his three pieces of gears and handed them over to Shi Hao along with his entire property of 30,000 copper coins.
The corners of Shi Hao’s mouth rose. He was very happy. Originally, the other people looked down on him, but now, he turned over and became a master. How could he not be happy? Shi Hao wanted to surprise all those fellows who looked down on him before. Who said that a fighter couldn’t be the boss? He was going to become the boss, the boss of the Kingdom!
Shi Hao said: “Very good, you can go now.”
Wu Batian hastily got up and ran wildly like a dog. Feng Tianhao, however, smiled and shot an arrow. It was unknown how many arrows Feng Tianhao had shot so far, but this arrow was definitely the most domineering. That arrow whistled, blowing up a light breeze.
“Ah! Despicable.” Heroic Overlord Under Heaven fell: “Didn’t you say that you won’t kill me! Why!”
When a despicable person said that someone was despicable, there was a kind of special flavor. Therefore, Shi Hao smiled.
Shi Hao walked over and stepped on Wu Batian’s legs. He then narrowed his eyes, looked at calm and collected Feng Tianhao and an innocent expression appeared on his face as he replied: “Heroic Overlord Under Heaven, I’m an honest person. I didn’t do anything just now, does your death have anything to do with me? I let you go, but he will not let you go.”
Wu Batian was too tense. He was too scared to die, and he was actually played by Shi Hao like this! Shi Hao had said that only he would let him go, which didn’t represent that Feng Tianhao would also let him go.
Wu Batian lost, completely lost! When he came out again, how should he turn over?
He would definitely turn over! At least, he himself absolutely thought so. Regardless of what price he needed to pay, he would kill these two fellows, no matter how big their background was.
“Shake the Heaven! Blowing Wind Left A Scar! You two will not have a good death, I’ll return!” Wu Batian didn’t admit defeat and shouted loudly. At that time, everything suddenly became dark and the system locked him in game-prison.
The appearance of the game-prison was basically identical to the environment where players initially created their characters. Merely, the lighting of the prison was a lot dimmer, and there was also no company of that little cute girl.
Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao cleaned up the scene of PK and allocated the items. Shi Hao received Heroic Overlord Under Heaven’s stylish blue cloak, and Feng Tianhao switched to Heroic Overlord Under Heaven’s iron sword.
The remaining three pieces of level 1 armor as well as 30,000 copper coins were stored in Feng Tianhao’s inventory.
“Let’s go, that boss is about to die.” Shi Hao’s eyes had a carefree look. He had suffered the roasting of people for the entire day. However, he was about to obtain a precious Village Building Order now, which might be the first Village Building Order in the entire server of >.
Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao walked to the side of the pitfall trap. The flame was still vigorous. All the players had already been burned to death. The ground was full of dropped equipment, which was a lot of wealth.
The Red Tiger King was also dying. It was at its last gasp, struggling to climb up. But the trap set-up by Wu Batian was carefully calculated, how could the Red Tiger King escape?

*!* This story is currently being continued on a different page, following years of hiatus and extensive rewrites *!* Please follow the link to read the up-to-date version: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/53863/cycles-of-ruin Basil von Doom is a powerful dungeon keeper with a simple mission: to bring ruin and destruction upon civilized worlds at the height of their decadence and stagnation. Much like his father before him, the new master of House Doom is a prodigy of war, yet the venerable minions of his household still hold strange loyalties toward his missing ancestor, silently comparing the legendary rage of his father to the more pragmatic approach of the son. Adding to Basil’s frustrations is the lack of accomplishment he feels for his work, with the dungeon keeper often taking on handicaps just to give his enemies a fighting chance. With all the power and wealth one could ever dream of already within his grasp, Basil now finds that the achievements of others kindle more joy in his heart than his own crushing victories. Thus Basil has taken up mentoring the next generation of dungeon keepers to try and diagnose the cause for his own lack of passion. With his apprentice, Elnora, managing most of the daily work around the dungeon, Basil can finally turn his attention towards his personal concerns, such as tackling the shadow of his legendary father that still looms large over him.
