Dominating the Pugilistic World With My Detective Skills - Chapter 53

Chapter 53: Perished Together

The battlefield changed. Ye Weiming was too lazy to run back so he pulled the boss over to fight. Bai Zhanji had no choice but to come over too. As for Tang Sancai, he ran beside a huge tree that he could use to hide anytime he wanted and continued throwing concealed weapons at Lin Zhipei.

Speaking of which, this Brother Sancai was indeed one of the top players among the disciples of the Tang Clan. His grasp of timing was extremely accurate. After receiving the poisonous weapons, he didn’t throw it out in haste to see its effects. Instead, he maintained his original tempo and continued throwing ordinary concealed weapons out at a steady pace.

After all, Lin Zhipei wasn’t an idiot. Ye Weiming’s trade was done right under his eyes. He might not know the details of their trade but he would have guessed that something was going on.

At the start, Lin Zhipei blocked all of Tang Sancai’s concealed weapons. No matter how astonishing and amazing this eldest senior brother of the Tang Clan threw his concealed weapons, none of it was able to break through Lin Zhipei’s Qi wall.

However, in that case, the depletion of his internal energy increased greatly. If he continued depleting it at this rate, he would run out of internal energy before Ye Weiming and Tang Sancai. At that time, he would not be their match.

That was why he decided to give up some of his health and not block all the concealed weapons.

When both parties had a great difference in capabilities, your ability was your tactic. When both parties had equal capabilities, your tactic was your ability!

After enduring for some time, Lin Zhipei finally realized that he couldn’t continue like this. He had no choice but to give up using his internal energy to block all the concealed weapons. Once again, he started to give up some of his health. Right at this moment, Tang Sancai decisively mingled the Mosquito Feeler Needle among his other concealed weapons and aimed it at Lin Zhipei’s heart. He wanted to give him a huge blow.

Tang Sancai performed this move with great technique. He didn’t use his internal energy to increase the power of his throw. He also didn’t let his opponent feel any great sense of danger. The place he aimed at was a vital point at his back. Lin Zhipei was able to evade it easily by moving his body slightly.

But he didn’t. Lin Zhipei got poisoned.

The amazing part about poisonous concealed weapons was that it didn’t need to hit a vital spot and didn’t need any additional increase in attributes. It just needed to hit its target. Once it hit its target, the target would be poisoned!

In battle mode, the poison resistance of a boss was very strong. The lethal poison that made Yu Daiyan suffer only depleted 10% of Lin Zhipei’s combat ability.

But when both parties were in a balanced state and one side dropped by 10% in combat ability, it wasn’t hard to imagine the outcome. Naturally, Lin Zhipei was immediately suppressed by Ye Weiming and his team.

After some time, Tang Sancai acted again. When Lin Zhipei was too busy to care about him, he threw the Seven Star Thorn out, and it hit Lin Zhipei’s shoulder.

In an instant, Lin Zhipei’s combat ability dropped to 70% of his prime state.

This didn’t mean that the poison on the Seven Star Thorn was two times more lethal than the one on the Mosquito Feeler Needle. It was because the combination of the two poison caused a huge effect such that one plus one was greater than two.

After two rounds of weakening, Lin Zhipei, who could handle three opponents at the start, finally started to tire out under the influence of the poison. His combat ability was crippled by 30% so he couldn’t suppress Ye Weiming entirely like how he did a few moments ago. The pressure on Ye Weiming decreased tremendously. He started changing his sword skill and used the ‘Sword of the Yue Maiden’ to increase the attacking power of his team.

After Ye Weiming managed to stab Lin Zhipei and the poison on the Green Bamboo Sword entered the body of this level 35 boss, Lin Zhipei’s combat ability decreased once again.

Then it was a happy moment of harvesting.

Three minutes later, Lin Zhipei’s health bar was almost empty. The moment he was left with only a fraction of his blood, this ambitious man who had reached a dead-end finally released all his potential!

He roared furiously and the surging internal energy in his body exploded within a split second. Then the long sword in his hand turned into lingering shadows. Not only did his combat ability return to his prime state, but his speed also reached a frightening level too. Bai Zhanji and Ye Weiming were powerful but they had to change their offense into defense and evade his attacks for the time being.

However, everyone knew that this was his last burst of desperateness. After his explosive power ended, his life would come to an end. Who would get to kill the boss would depend on how fast the players were.

In the contribution distribution mode, the person who managed to get the last hit would have additional contribution points when the system was calculating their rewards. That meant that whoever got the final hot would have a higher chance of getting good items!

Reality proved that the person who would manage to get the final hit wasn’t the one who had the fastest hand. It was the one with the longest arm!

Ye Weiming’s movement was fast but it wasn’t as fast as Tang Sancai’s flying daggers!

After Lin Zhipei finished a wave of sword slashes, Ye Weiming prepared to execute his ‘Eight Step Chasing Toad’ to go back and snatch the kill. However, at this moment, Tang Sancai’s flying dagger was already less than three inches away from Lin Zhipei’s body.

Lin Zhipei knew that he would die so he didn’t try to evade or defend himself. Instead, he roared in anger and shifted all his internal energy into the long sword in his hand. The long sword turned into a long rainbow and shot towards Tang Sancai furiously like a thunderbolt.

At this stage of the battle, Lin Zhipei’s hatred had shifted from Bai Zhanji to the two players. The person he wanted to kill before his death was Ye Weiming. However, after witnessing the sadistic defensive ability of the ‘Dragon-Phoenix Sword’, he knew that pulling Ye Weiming to hell with him was impossible. That was why he aimed his ‘Flying Dragon’ move at Tang Sancai instead.

“Pfft.” Tang Sancai’s flying dagger stabbed straight into Lin Zhipei’s body. The dark green blood bar above Lin Zhipei’s head emptied.

“Pfft!” Lin Zhipei’s long sword pierced through Tang Sancai’s body, directly turning him from full health into a flash of white light.

Instant kill!

Ye Weiming felt a little helpless when he saw his teammate perishing together with the boss.

The notification from the system came late at this moment.

Ding! You’ve successfully killed the level 35 boss Lin Zhipei. You received 10000 EXP and 1000 Cultivation!

Ding! Congratulations on completing the mission ‘Protecting Little White’. You managed to protect the honest Soymilk Little White and even killed three evil and cruel scums of the pugilistic world, Lin Zhipei, Ji Laiye, and Ge Angshou. You’ve completed the mission perfectly. Mission rewards: 20000 EXP, 2000 Cultivation, and an increase of one level for any single kung fu!

Ding! Your ‘Sword of the Yue Maiden’ had increased by one level. It’s level 9 now.

System Announcement: Player Ye Weiming from the Divine Constable Bureau and Player Tang Sancai from the Tang Clan killed level 35 boss Lin Zhipei. They’ve completed the first blood. Rewards for first blood: Reputation in pugilistic world 1000, Clan contribution 1000.

System Announcement: Player…

As per normal, the system repeated the first blood announcement thrice. However, Ye Weiming just pouted his lips helplessly.

The rewards for the mission were not bad but he wasn’t satisfied with the immediate effect of the last reward.

He wanted to raise the level of his expiration exercise first. The second most important kungfu he wanted to raise was ‘Daizhong Way’. After that, it would be the ‘Eight Step Chasing Toad’. Even raising the level of ‘Dragon-Phoenix Sword’ was better than raising the level of ‘Sword of the Yue Maiden’.

But the system decided to oppose him and raise the level for the kung fu he least wanted.

He shook his head and opened his attributes tab.

He gasped in surprise when he saw his attributes!
