Su Long?
Taking in the man's attributes at a glance, Xiao Wen frowned, a trace of coldness flashing through his eyes.
Compared to other NPCs, this NPC had an additional category.
Personality!
Personality was considered a special NPC attribute in Heroes Contend.
However, this fellow's personality was far from good.
It could even be described as extremely vile!
This also indirectly revealed one thing.
The common people in this mountain stronghold had suffered terribly under oppression.
“General, kill him!”
Xiao Wen's expression turned stern as he shouted.
Ma Chao's eyes sharpened. Gripping the Profound Heaven Sky-Piercing Spear, he stared at Su Long and said:
“My lord has ordered me to kill you. Have you prepared yourself?”
“Kill me? You? You're worthy?” Su Long snorted coldly. His soft sword danced as he launched a direct assault on Ma Chao.
In an instant, countless sword qi surged forth, enveloping Ma Chao.
The flexible sword swept through the air, creating gusts of sword wind as thrust after thrust shot forward.
Ma Chao showed no fear. Spear in hand, he advanced, the Profound Heaven Sky-Piercing Spear moving left and right.
Cleave, sweep, lift, thrust...
One spear technique after another howled forth from his hands to meet Su Long's soft sword.
When spear and sword collided, ultimate softness met ultimate hardness. The flexible sword intertwined against the domineering steel spear. Back and forth they fought, neither side gaining a clear advantage.
After several exchanges, however, Ma Chao gradually fell into a disadvantage. Even with his spear dancing furiously, he could not break through Su Long's sword defense.
Nearby, Cheng Bao saw this and was overjoyed. Without hesitation, he charged into battle carrying his pair of Gilded Bronze Hammers, intending to join forces with Su Long and kill Ma Chao.
Before he could enter the battlefield, his vision blurred.
A figure appeared before him.
It was Xiao Wen, holding the Python-Head Moon-Sundering Spear and blocking his path.
Raising his spear, Xiao Wen said expressionlessly:
“Your opponent is me.”
“You court death!”
Cheng Bao roared and attacked immediately.
His twin hammers whistled through the air as they smashed toward Xiao Wen.
Xiao Wen remained calm.
With a single glance, he spotted seven or eight flaws in Cheng Bao's attack.
The moment those openings appeared, the Python-Head Moon-Sundering Spear thrust forward.
The spear tip struck the weakest point in Cheng Bao's hammer technique.
One thrust.
Using minimal force to redirect immense power, Xiao Wen lifted Cheng Bao's hammer aside.
“Your strength is lacking,” Xiao Wen said.
Then, under Cheng Bao's shocked gaze, Xiao Wen flicked his wrist.
His arm and wrist vibrated repeatedly, trembling more than ten times within a few seconds.
The force traveled through the spear and directly knocked Cheng Bao's hammer back.
Immediately afterward, Xiao Wen twisted his body.
The spear shook violently before shooting forward again with spiraling force.
Once more, it slammed against the hammer.
The hammer was driven directly into Cheng Bao's chest.
Boom!
A muffled sound rang out.
Red damage numbers appeared.
Parry, HP -499.
The spear withdrew to its limit before swaying from side to side.
Then Xiao Wen thrust again.
The hammer was knocked aside completely.
The spear's momentum became unstoppable as it struck Cheng Bao's chest.
Critical Hit, HP -1999.
Red damage numbers floated upward.
Cheng Bao collapsed silently to the ground, leaving behind a golden light orb.
Xiao Wen grabbed the orb without even checking it and tossed it into his inventory space.
After collecting the loot, Xiao Wen raised his head and looked toward Su Long.
At this moment, Su Long was still relying on his higher level to suppress Ma Chao.
Although their levels differed by only four, the gap between Level 20 and Level 21 was a massive threshold.
It could practically be considered an entirely new realm.
The difference between them was equivalent to one major realm and three minor realms.
Faced with such an enormous cultivation gap, Ma Chao, despite being a fifth-tier general, was still suppressed without activating his traits.
“Kill!”
Ma Chao roared.
His attacks never stopped.
Even though Su Long specialized in softness overcoming hardness, Ma Chao's spear intent remained unchanged.
Utterly fierce.
Utterly dominant.
He attacked relentlessly.
Countless strikes poured down like a tidal wave, displaying his own unstoppable momentum.
Watching from nearby, Xiao Wen did not rush to intervene.
He could feel the battle intent within Ma Chao continuously rising toward a critical point.
Triggered! Combination Attack Skill: Chaos Across the Eight Directions!
A golden light flashed in Ma Chao's eyes.
The Profound Heaven Sky-Piercing Spear swung violently downward toward Su Long.
The power behind this strike was several levels stronger than before.
Far beyond what Su Long could withstand.
Clang!
A sharp metallic sound rang out.
Su Long was blasted backward several steps by the spear strike.
The instant Su Long was sent flying, a cold light flashed through Xiao Wen's eyes.
Without hesitation, he attacked.
His spear thrust forward.
A dragon's roar seemed to echo through the heavens.
Skill: Dragon King Break activated!
Roar—
The dragon's roar shook the sky.
A streak of golden light flashed past Ma Chao's eyes.
Taking advantage of the opening created when Ma Chao blasted Su Long away, Xiao Wen struck.
Dragon King Break erupted.
A phantom golden dragon appeared.
It shattered through the air and pierced directly into Su Long's chest.
Power exploded forth.
The force penetrated his armor and pierced his heart.
Armor Break!
Critical Hit, HP -1999.
Red damage numbers floated above Su Long's head.
A golden light orb dropped to the ground.
Xiao Wen immediately grabbed it and tossed it into his inventory space.
With Su Long dead, the more than one thousand mountain bandits around them witnessed the scene.
Their expressions changed dramatically.
Morale plummeted.
Many bandits immediately turned and fled.
Yet the moment they attempted to escape, executioners emerged.
The fleeing bandits were beheaded on the spot.
After several public executions, the panicked bandits gradually stabilized.
“Form ranks and face the enemy! Any who retreat shall be executed!”
A thunderous shout came from the rear of the stronghold.
A refined man in long robes stepped forward.
With a single command, he restored order among the bandits.
More than a thousand bandits formed ranks on the mountainside, preparing to resist Xiao Wen and Ma Chao.
The two immediately transformed into streaks of light and charged forward.
Behind them came the White Dragon Guards advancing with shields raised, followed by ordinary soldiers.
The battle that followed proved far more brutal than Xiao Wen had anticipated.
He had originally thought that killing the three chiefs would shatter the bandits' morale and make conquering Black Fiend Stronghold much easier.
Unexpectedly, even these remaining minor bandits proved remarkably difficult to deal with.
It seemed there was still an expert within the stronghold skilled in military formations and battlefield command!
