Chapter 133: The Death of a Knight
Jiang Li’s soul form drifted along the roof beam, taking in the entire process of Lin Xun recruiting two 【Shadow】 players, his heart turning ice-cold.
【Star Priest】, 【Plague Doctor】.
Two 【Shadow】 players had been found by Lin Xun, and they had even agreed to join Bureau 869.
“Star Chart……”
A thought stirred in Jiang Li’s mind.
Shen Wei’s Transcendent artifact 【Star Chart】 was, to him, an enormous threat.
He had to find a way to avoid the surveillance of the 【Star Chart】.
Even more, he had to find a way to make Lin Xun and Lei De come into conflict.
Thinking this, Jiang Li’s soul form turned into a shadowy afterimage and drifted out of the warehouse.
He wanted to see how Lei De was doing, while also carefully thinking about how to deal with this new situation.
……
Lin Xun brought 【Star Priest】 and 【Plague Doctor】 back to the underground base of the Zhu City Branch of Bureau 869.
When Director Qin saw these two 【Shadow】 players, joy appeared on his face.
“Wonderful! Lin Xun!”
“You really are the savior of our Zhu City!”
Lin Xun walked to the electronic map, looking at the dozens of red points of light on it.
“Director Qin, we’ve now already found two 【Shadow】 players.”
“Lei De is still out there searching everywhere.”
“We suggest withdrawing our manpower searching for players. There’s no need for us to work for Lei De.”
Director Qin nodded. “I understand.”
“Then what about after Lei De achieves his personal victory?”
Director Qin asked, “After he kills six players, won’t we still have to eliminate the remaining 【Radiance】……”
Lin Xun interrupted Director Qin’s words. “So we still have to monitor.”
“Ensure that Lei De wins his personal victory.”
“And we will also win the faction victory.”
“This is a win-win situation.”
……
On the other side, after obtaining the Ascension Alliance’s Transcendent artifact, Lei De was even more emboldened.
He no longer had any misgivings about Lin Xun and Shen Wei, and he began hunting players in Zhu City without restraint.
Whether they were players of the 【Radiance】 or 【Shadow】 factions.
In his eyes, these players were all stepping stones toward his personal victory.
Very soon, Jiang Li found Lei De in the eastern part of the city, because at this moment Lei De was fighting two players.
The commotion was tremendous, extremely conspicuous in this silent Zhu City.
“Hahahaha!”
Lei De laughed wildly as a bolt of lightning blasted out, shattering an abandoned building.
From the ruins, a man holding a longsword staggered out.
He was a 【Knight】 of the 【Radiance】 faction.
“Lei De! You demon!”
The knight roared angrily, brandishing his longsword as he charged toward Lei De.
However, Lei De only sneered coldly.
He raised his hand, and a bolt of lightning instantly blasted the knight away.
The knight’s body tumbled through the air and slammed heavily into a wall, blood spraying wildly from his mouth.
The sword in the knight’s hand was also shattered by the lightning, the longsword breaking inch by inch into countless fragments.
“With trash like you, you think you can stop me?”
Lei De walked up to the knight, his eyes full of contempt.
He raised the lightning in his hand, preparing to deliver the final blow to the knight.
“Stop!”
At this moment, a woman’s voice rang out.
A woman wearing martial attire rushed out from the ruins.
She was a 【Martial Artist】 of the 【Radiance】 faction.
“Lei De! You murderous maniac!”
The martial artist roared, her body spinning like a top as she charged toward Lei De.
“A clown making a spectacle of himself.”
Lei De snorted disdainfully.
He raised his hand again, and a bolt of lightning instantly blasted the martial artist away.
The martial artist tumbled through the air and crashed heavily to the ground, blood spraying wildly from her mouth.
“Lei De! You won’t die a good death!”
The martial artist struggled to get up, but she was already grievously injured and completely unable to move.
“Lei De! Just you wait!”
“The 【Shadow】 faction’s players have already assembled, they’ll kill you!”
Using the last of her strength, the martial artist shouted loudly.
Lei De’s movements suddenly stiffened.
“What did you say?”
He abruptly turned his head to look at the martial artist, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes.
“The 【Shadow】 faction’s players have already assembled?”
“They want to kill me?”
The martial artist looked at Lei De, her eyes filled with hatred.
“That’s right! They’ll kill you!”
“They’ll make you pay the price!”
“Hahahaha!”
Lei De suddenly burst into wild laughter, the sound filled with disdain.
“Just those pieces of trash, and they think they can kill me?”
He walked up to the martial artist, a trace of cruelty flashing through his eyes.
“Still, you’ve reminded me of something.”
“Since the 【Shadow】 faction’s players have already assembled, then I’ll kill you first!”
“And then, I’ll go kill them!”
Lei De raised his fist, lightning flickering around it.
Bang!
The martial artist’s body instantly exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist.
【Player 【Thunder God】 killed player 【Martial Artist】】
【Current surviving players: 9】
“No!”
The knight struggled, his eyes filled with despair and unwillingness.
He looked at Lei De’s crazed, arrogant smile, knowing that he absolutely could not die at the hands of this demon.
He absolutely could not let this demon take his head.
“Sword, come!”
The knight suddenly let out an angry roar.
The sword body that had already turned into fragments emitted a buzzing sound, forming a shattered longsword floating in the air.
“Pffft!”
Using the last of his strength, the knight viciously stabbed the broken sword into his own heart.
Fresh blood gushed out.
The knight’s body suddenly stiffened; he widened his eyes, staring fixedly at Lei De.
“I…… I won’t let you…… succeed……”
Before the words finished, the knight’s body went limp and collapsed to the ground.
【Player 【Knight】 has fallen】
【Current surviving players: 8】
Lei De looked at the cold corpse on the ground, a trace of savagery flashing in his eyes.
“Damn it!”
He suddenly kicked the knight’s corpse, sending it flying.
“He actually dared to commit suicide?!”
“You think this can stop me?!”
Lei De roared angrily, feeling deeply humiliated.
He had clearly been able to take that head.
Yet this piece of trash had actually chosen suicide!
……
Jiang Li’s soul form quietly hovered in the air, taking all of this in.
He looked at the words spoken by the martial artist before her death, the corners of his mouth curling into a cold smile.
This was something he had influenced her to say through soul whispering.
Now, Lei De had completely believed that the 【Shadow】 faction’s players had already assembled and would come to kill him.
He would certainly go hunt the 【Shadow】 faction’s players.
And the 【Shadow】 faction’s players were currently still under Lin Xun’s protection, having just been recruited by him.
A good show was about to begin.
Jiang Li drifted once more toward Lin Xun’s Bureau 869 base.
He had to make sure that Lin Xun and Shen Wei would not find him again.
He drifted into the underground base of Bureau 869.
He saw Shen Wei talking with Lin Xun.
“Captain Lin, I really didn’t lie to you about the cooldown time of the Star Chart.”
Shen Wei’s voice was cool and detached. “The next use will have to wait at least a month.”
Lin Xun nodded. “I understand. Miss Shen, you’ve worked hard.”
Jiang Li’s soul form quietly hovered in the air, hearing Shen Wei’s words clearly.
“One month……”
The corners of Jiang Li’s mouth curled into a cold smile.
“That’s enough.”
Jiang Li did not linger any longer. His soul form turned into a shadowy afterimage and drifted out of the underground base of Bureau 869.
He was going back to his hiding place.
“Lei De…… Lin Xun…… Shen Wei……”
In Jiang Li’s eyes, a cold, calculating light flickered.
“The game is only just beginning.”
