Chapter 60

I spun around and ran towards the Hell Hound . While running, I punched the ground and cast [Binding Chains]!

Whoosh!

As my fist reached the ground, Feng Han shifted a few meters sideways, and a huge “MISS” popped up next to him . At the same time, his pet Hell Hound also wagged its tail as it backed away a few meters . Such coordinated control! Both player and pet moved at the same time to dodge my skill!

I needed to kill the Hell Hound first, or else Baby Bobo’s HP couldn’t keep up!

I raised my sword, and slashed towards the Hell Hound . But I wouldn’t have thought that Feng Han kept on pulling the Hell Hound back, making me unable to catch up to it . At the same time, I felt a chill behind my back, Feng Han’s [Combo] was coming!

Before turning around, I sunk my body downwards, and blocked my back with my sword . I couldn’t block such a strong attack, and my entire body sprawled forward . But I spun my sword around, and I heavily slashed at Feng Han!

“341!”

“Eh…”

Looking at my attack damage, he seemed a bit surprised . He took his sword and backed away, and drank a health potion . After taking 3 [Combo] hits, my HP was near empty . I waited for the cooldown of [Heal], and with a wave of my hand I recovered 600 HP . But at that time, Baby Bob cried out, and died from the attack of the Hell Hound .

I couldn’t chase Feng Han, so I could only spin around and chase the Hell Hound . Since Bobo died, it was only fair that Feng Han’s pet also dies . But I never would have thought that the Hell Hound would wave its tail and run, giving me no chance to attack . Feng Han on the other hand recovered to full HP and immediately took his sword and attacked!

My custom combo was still in cooldown, so I could only use [combo], and pray for the best!

Whoosh!

Within 3 steps of me, Feng Han suddenly stopped . A golden hexagram started to appear on my sword, the start of my [Combo] . I couldn’t let it go to waste, so I hastily rushed forward to attack!

Who would have thought while he was backing away, the Hell Hound would attack me from behind and interrupt my [Combo]!

“I’m done for…”

My heart went cold and as I watched the glow of his golden hexagram flicker, his sword struck my shoulder 3 times in succession, and I died!

…… .

Whoosh!

I appeared at a nearby graveyard, and checked my equipment . I didn’t drop anything, but I stood there expressionlessly . It was not that my skills weren’t up to par with him, it was…it was my gaming knowledge that wasn’t up to par . This loss, it was really because of the tactics that Feng Han employed…

After thinking for a full 5 minutes, going through what Feng Han did; controlling both himself and his pet, and continuously changing his opponent’s focus while grinding down their HP . Even if I had [Heal] I still got killed easily . Although his tactics were very clear, I could do nothing about it, his reactions were too quick!

Whatever, I would return first!

After 10 minutes, I reached back to my corpse . From a distance, Feng Han held his sword, and sat under a pine tree, He was staring at my corpse, obviously waiting for me to revive . He wanted another round?!

Whoosh!

I didn’t hesitate to revive, and because of dying I had lost a level . I cast [Heal] and my HP became full again . I took my sword, and [Turmoil Sword] automatically activated . I also summoned Bobo out . This time I needed to counter-attack, or else I would lose again .

Feng Han looked at me from afar, and smirked, “Xiao Yao Zi Zai . You’re not bad eh, I felt a bit of pressure . It’s really hard to find these kinds of opponents, Looking at Ba Huang City, there are probably only 10 people who have a strength like you!”

I silently listened, “And?”

“I quite admire you, how about you join [Vanguard]?” Feng Han smiled .

I pointed my sword at his chest, and said, “Admire me . . is it? Let me kill you first!”

……

I stepped on the ground with my Silver-Locked Boots, and rushed towards him . I raised my sword and attacked .

Feng Han laughed coldly as he slowly unsheathed his sword, it seemed like he has already calculated my path . With a clang, he took his sword, and with a jump, he was on his feet . The leaves crunched under his feet, and suddenly he extended his leg and kicked!

My body was in the air, but I grabbed onto the chain armor on his shoulders, and my entire body changed its original path . Going around Feng Han, a nearly perfect “MISS” popped up for his kick . At the same time, I rolled on the ground, and punched the ground with my left hand . With a clang, I cast [Binding Chains]!

Sadly, Feng Han was very sharp, and he completely figured out my tactic . He slipped back a few steps, and “MISS” popped up for the [Binding Chains] . His sword started to glow, and he slashed at Bobo but at the same time, Bobo’s [Combo] also started!

Bangbang…

After the rapid strikes, Feng Han’s HP dropped over 500 points after Bobo’s two attacks! But, Bobo’s HP was only around 100 points now . The Hell Hound growled, and prepared to take his life!

Whoosh!

“+600!”

I waved my hand to cast [Heal] . I needed Bobo alive, or else I would lose against Feng Han and his pet!

…… .

I commanded Bobo to back off, stretching out their firepower . Bee Overlords were very fast, and immediately Bobo backed off a few meters . Both the Hell Hound and Feng Han’s attack ended up slashing air, and two beautiful “MISS”s popped up . At the same time, I rushed forward, raised my sword, and used [Combo]! My target: the Hell Hound!

“397!”

“422!”

“447!”

Sadly, after three strikes the Hell Hound still hadn’t died and had around 50% HP .

Growl!

The Hell Hound growled, and it pounced at my chest . I twisted my body, and my sword’s edge skimmed the Hell Hound, taking away 200+ HP . But within a moment, my HP was below 50% from its attack . I immediately backed off, and got Bobo to attack the Hell Hound!

“Ah?”

Feng Han suddenly smiles in self-mockery . He never would have thought the tactic he just used would be copied and used by me .

With a bang, Feng Han kicked his Hell Hound away, and at the same time he used his level 4 swordsman skill [Haste]: Increases attack speed by 8% and movement speed by 4% . After he kicked the Hell Hound, his sword also aimed straight at Bobo’s head!

Boom!

“389!”

In a blink, Bobo went into critical condition again . Feng Han’s recovery and reaction time was extremely scary . In addition, this guy’s ability to adjust to the situation was very strong as well . He was a very scary opponent, or else Yan Zhao would have been able defeat him!

……

I could only get Bobo to run for his life, and I also grabbed my sword and got as far away from Feng Han as I could . He calmly gulped down a health potion, and returned to full health once more . With him and his Hell Hound, I could be killed in a single strike!

But, as fast as I could go, his speed was way superior to mine, and I couldn’t escape!

“Hey!”

Feng Han lowered his sword, and it bounced against the ground, cutting the grass with every bounce . His smile was full malice, and he laughed, “Xiao Yao Zi Zai! You know, you’re quite unique . But do you really think that you can survive when I want to kill you? You’re better off dreaming!”

“……”

I didn’t stop moving . My attacks and tactics had been seen through by Feng Han so I had no way out . To be honest, if my gaming skill wasn’t so bad, previously in [Conquest] I wouldn’t have been ranked over 3 millionth place .

……

Behind me, Feng Han came closer and closer . I could almost feel Feng Han’s sword on my back, it was a really bad feeling, but I couldn’t do anything about it . My pet control wasn’t impressive, and Bobo’s attack patterns were quite foreign to me . I really couldn’t see any chance of winning . [Combo] and my custom combo were really easily broken or dodged by him, and I couldn’t land a sure attack!

I scanned around me, and within the forest, I saw 3 level 39 Ice Rats scuttling around . An idea popped up into my mind, and it seemed possible . Should I try it out?

Holding my sword, I got Bobo to follow me . A few seconds later we reached the hill, and with a jump, we disappeared into the forest!

Whoosh!

I stepped on some turnips, and my entire body rolled towards some bushes . The 3 Ice Rats immediately started to chirp, and within 10 yards in front of me, they started casting [Ice Cone]!

Behind me, Feng Han smiled arrogantly, “Don’t pointlessly struggle Xiao Yao Zi Zai…”

I turned around, and as those 3 Ice Rats fired their [Ice Cones] at me, I put away my sword, and I punched towards Bobo! At the same time, after Bobo received my punch, he also raised his stinger, and stung my chest . We exchanged attacks!

……

“Damn!” Feng Han’s face went green, “Damn it, how did I not think of it…”

That’s right, aggro diversion!

Aggro diversion was a rule for wild monsters . Originally, the 3 Ice Rats’s aggro were on me, but since I was attacking something else, their aggro immediately changed, and also Bobo attacked me, so as a result the aggro landed on the player behind me, Feng Han, who wasn’t attacking anyone!

Rustle rustle…

The three [Ice Cones] flew out, and they brought three damage numbers——

“276!”

“298!”

“304!”

……

Feng Han’s HP was nearly gone, and his entire body was coated with a layer of frost from the attack, lowering his movement speed . At the same time, that Hell Hound growled as it pounced towards me . He decided that if he died, the Hell Hound would kill me as well!

Whoosh!

I held my sword and dashed towards Feng Han, and with a low yell, and 0 . 2 seconds of preparation, I released [Wind Blade], aimed at Feng Han’s neck! He had been slowed so it didn’t matter how powerful or quick he was, he wouldn’t be able to dodge this!

“Gah, I don’t accept this…”

Feng Han only said that, and then his body went limp, and fell on the grass .

“579!”

……

The Hell Hound also disappeared with him and I returned my sword back to the sheath . Feng Han dropped a couple of health potions and nothing else . I immediately ran out of the Ice Rats’s attack range . After running a few hundred meters, I finally got rid of the aggro .

I took a deep breath . At least I killed him once in revenge . I should switch areas to grind, this wasn’t a place where I should stay…

Through the night, on the other side of the forest, I killed countless Ice Rats, and I returned to level 32 . Feng Han also didn’t appear again . He was level 37 originally, and pretty close to Yan Zhao in the leaderboard, but with my [Wind Blade], he went back down to level 36 so was probably monster killing to get his levels back .
