YM778.TV Chapter 309: Overwhelming
Song Jian saw a group of NPCs gathered around the cave entrance, while the players stood at a distance. He already figured out what was happening, but he didn’t care. The NPCs in front of him were not strong enough to scare him off.
Seeing the three dwarf warriors blocking his path, Song Jian sneered and squinted his eyes, “What’s the meaning of this? Is this your territory? The Imperial Dragon Demon Palace hasn’t even opened yet, and you NPCs are already overbearing. Are you planning to seal this place off already? What, you want all the benefits for yourselves without sharing any?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding players felt a bit displeased and looked at the NPC group, with most of them showing hostility in their eyes.
At this moment, more and more players were rushing over, and the number had already exceeded 150. However, there were only about 50 NPCs surrounding the cave. Although some other NPCs were catching up, they still stood far away upon seeing the situation, apparently planning to watch the show first.
It was normal for high-level NPCs to have an advantage over low-level players, so they tended to look down on them. Players wanting to get quests from NPCs would usually be polite, and some even tried to please the NPCs.
However, when players united, their deterrence power was enormous. Moreover, players could kill monsters to quickly level up and surpass the effort of NPCs within a few months or years. This led to NPCs not daring to oppress the players too much and calling them “blessed children.”
Seeing Song Jian agitating the players’ anger with just one sentence, the faces of the Dwarf Warriors changed at once, and they were so furious that they wanted to burst into a rage.
We only said two words, where did you see us blocking this place?
Players around started to slowly gather, with a hostile demeanor.
The Dwarf Leader saw the scene and quickly stepped forward with a cold snort, “Blessed children, don’t listen to his nonsense. The Imperial Dragon Demon Palace is sealed with powerful monsters, and you are not strong enough to face them.”
“Moreover, we didn’t stop him because of the Imperial Dragon Demon Palace!” The Dwarf Leader pointed at Song Jian and shouted, “His relationship with our Dwarf race is now one of hatred and enmity, and all dwarves will fight him to the death!”
Upon hearing this, all players were relieved, realizing that the NPCs’ blockade of the cave was indeed part of the game’s plot. They guessed that it would only be after fighting with the monsters inside that players would be allowed to enter.
As the tension dispersed, the players lost their drive and returned scattered again. Some even started sizing up Song Jian with sinister intentions, wondering if they could be rewarded by killing him since he had a relationship of hatred with the dwarf race.
Song Jian was taken aback for a moment, recalling the scene at the Doomsday Blacksmith Shop. He had been tricked by the Dwarf Blacksmith Aberdeen into gathering ore at a subway station, only to find out it was a level-30 monster area. If it wasn’t for the ratmen, he would have been close to death.
Afterward, he managed to deceive Aberdeen into helping him repair his weapons for free by promising to collect Obsidian. As a result, Aberdeen held a deep hatred for him, and incidentally caused his relationship with the dwarves to become one of hatred.
“Fight to the death?” Song Jian sneered and looked at the four, “With just the four of you, you dare to say such words in front of me? Haha!”
Song Jian was now quite confident as even a level-20 elite boss wouldn’t pose a threat to him, let alone these four who were more like level-15 elite bosses.
“Arrogant!” The Dwarf Commander’s face turned red with anger and waved his hand. The three dwarf warriors silently swung their hammers and rushed towards Song Jian.
Song Jian waved his right hand, and a stream of fire condensed into the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword. Such a display astonished all players, followed by intense envy.
Broken Wing Dance!
Song Jian’s body rushed forward abruptly, his dark red Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword leaving a trail of crimson in the air as it swung towards the frontmost dwarf warrior.
Before the sword could reach him, the dwarf warrior in the lead revealed a look of fear in his eyes. He had only ever seen such a fierce sword technique from level-20+ dwarf knights.
By the time it reacted, it had already smelled the scent of death from Song Jian’s blade.
There is great terror between life and death; it was just a guard of the Dwarf Commander and didn’t want to lose its life here.
Under this strike, it dared not continue to charge forward, immediately steadying its stance and guarding its chest with its war hammer. Its thick thighs, much like tree roots, stood firmly on the ground.
Boom!
A loud rumble echoed, and everyone around involuntarily covered their ears. Song Jian’s long sword and the dwarf’s war hammer collided fiercely, the Sword Qi bursting forth. A sound of breaking bones echoed from the dwarf’s arms.
“Power crushes, his strength can actually crush mine!” The dwarf warrior’s fear intensified, and he looked at Song Jian as if he were a god or a demon.
The dwarfs were known for their strength, but they never expected that this human could crush their strength, which was difficult to believe.
Song Jian’s strength attribute had exceeded twenty points by now. Facing a dwarf warrior with a strength attribute of no more than fifteen points, it was quite easy for him to inflict crushing damage.
After the first hit, the dwarf endured the blow, with a hundred and ten-point damage floating above its head. But it couldn’t withstand the second attack that followed.
The second stage of the Broken Wing Dance sent it flying directly, its body soaring backward and crashing heavily into its two companions.
As the three of them struggled to get up, Song Jian swooped down like a majestic eagle, targeting the cattle and sheep on the ground and slashing at the dwarf warrior.
A wave of qi was released from the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword, and the three dwarf warriors simultaneously lost control of their bodies, floating in the air.
While they were suspended in the air, Song Jian activated the “Rapid Sword” skill, and a flurry of sword shadows appeared before the three dwarf warriors.
Sword Silk!
Three strands of silver Sword Qi pierced their bodies directly, and without any resistance, blood soared out like arrows. Their Vitality Points rapidly decreased, making it seem like Song Jian was not facing three Level 15 Elite Bosses, but three Level 1 small monsters!
“How could this be? This is completely crushing strength! These are three Level 15 Elite Bosses, and there’s actually a player who can suppress them like this? Am I seeing things?” A spectating player blinked and muttered in a low voice.
“I… I feel like I’m in a dream, too. It’s too exaggerated!”
Seeing that the three guards were about to be killed by this human, the Dwarf Commander became panicked and hurriedly held onto his scepter, wanting to rush over to help.
At this moment, a giant Desert Scorpion Beast Illusion appeared out of thin air, swinging its massive stinger, and staring intently at the Dwarf Commander.
Immediately, a look of hesitation appeared on the Dwarf Commander’s face, and he stopped his steps.
Just then, a sorrowful scream rang out, and the Dwarf Commander’s face turned ugly. He glared fiercely at Song Jian, fuming with rage!
