Chapter 45: Beheading
The Divine Dragon tore through the air, charging forward under Xiao Wen’s lead.
Once the charge began, it became an unstoppable force. Its aura surged violently, sending all the soldiers blocking its path flying. Xiao Wen stood at the dragon’s head, his momentum undiminished as he charged straight toward Wang Heng.
In only a few breaths, he had already reached him.
At this moment, Wang Heng’s face was filled with shock as he stared at Xiao Wen with widened eyes.
This guy’s speed was way too fast!
The thought flashed through Wang Heng’s mind.
Before he could even calm himself, he saw the Profound Spirit Battle Halberd in Xiao Wen’s hand thrust forward. A nearly tangible blast of air erupted and surged ahead, slaughtering all the soldiers in its path.
Even the spear light itself advanced with unstoppable force, piercing directly toward Wang Heng.
Dragon King Break!
A dragon’s roar seemed to echo through the battlefield as a terrifying aura exploded forth. A massive dragon head phantom burst from the tip of the Profound Spirit Battle Halberd.
The dragon opened its mouth and swallowed Wang Heng whole before exploding violently.
Resistance, HP -688.
Violent shockwaves erupted.
Yet Wang Heng swung the saber in his hand, unleashing an even sharper aura around himself. With a single slash, he split apart the Dragon King phantom that had lunged toward him.
However, although he managed to block the attack, the power unleashed by the final explosion still left him nearly suffocating.
Why has this guy suddenly become so strong?
The thought flashed through Wang Heng’s mind.
Every piece of equipment he wore had been purchased at a tremendous cost. Every item was Silver-grade, and each possessed excellent attributes.
The armor he wore alone carried a special defense-enhancing property.
He could ignore most ordinary attacks and could even withstand fatal strikes so long as they failed to penetrate his armor.
Of course, that only applied to areas covered by the armor.
Yet even with the armor’s protection, he had still suffered severe injuries.
Without it, that attack just now would probably have been enough to render him completely incapable of fighting.
Was this player called Half-Journey Through the Mortal World really this terrifying?
Wang Heng was shocked, but he also realized that he had completely fallen into a trap.
Earlier, when this guy had been surrounded by soldiers, he had deliberately concealed his strength and even pretended to be exhausted. The purpose had been to lure him into making a move.
The moment Wang Heng chose to attack, the man immediately unleashed a killing blow in an attempt to eliminate him outright!
This guy...
He cannot be fought head-on!
The thought flashed through Wang Heng’s mind. Almost the instant he reached that conclusion, he retreated without hesitation and tried to flee.
However, the coldness in Xiao Wen’s eyes only grew sharper.
Without a word, he continuously swung the Profound Spirit Battle Halberd.
Dragon King Break!
Dragon King Break!
Another Dragon King Break!
One skill after another erupted from Xiao Wen’s hands, breaking through Wang Heng’s attacks and crashing directly into his body.
The surging power penetrated inward, beating him until he coughed blood repeatedly. He had no strength to fight back and collapsed onto the ground, clearly breathing more out than in.
“Die!”
A fierce light flashed in Xiao Wen’s eyes as he brought the Profound Spirit Battle Halberd down with overwhelming force and directly beheaded him.
Fatal Hit, HP -1999.
Wang Heng’s body fell to the ground before silently dissipating.
The spectators watching from all around suddenly fell silent.
Just moments ago, they had been discussing the battle while enjoying the show.
Now, nobody spoke.
“Holy shit!”
“The Vice Guild Master of Dongning Pavilion is gone just like that?”
“Beheaded with a single halberd strike?”
“This guy is way too fierce!”
“Wait, who was it that said they were betting on Wang Heng to win?”
“Damn it, I’m putting one hundred thousand on the Great God!”
“The fight isn’t over yet, I’m betting too!”
...
The crowd erupted into noise.
At the same time, some people stood with gloomy faces, their fists clenched and their eyes burning with rage as they glared at the crowd. Several times, they nearly shouted in protest, only to forcibly suppress the urge.
These people were all members of Dongning Pavilion.
No one understood the principle of a lord’s humiliation becoming the humiliation of his followers better than they did.
Hearing the mocking remarks, each of them looked as though fire might burst from their eyes. They were only one step away from rushing over and fighting.
But in the end, they restrained themselves.
There were many of them.
Yet there were even more spectators.
Starting trouble now would simply be courting death.
In a certain corner, Shen Shuyi had her livestream running, recording the entire battle while broadcasting it live.
The instant Xiao Wen beheaded Wang Heng, the livestream chat exploded with comments.
“Holy shit!”
“Great God is awesome!”
“Too badass!”
Messages flooded the screen.
Seeing those comments, Shen Shuyi said nothing. She merely stared at Xiao Wen as he continued slaughtering enemies across the battlefield.
Her heart pounded wildly.
This...
This was just too powerful!
If only one day I could reach his level.
No!
I definitely can!
I’ll catch up to the Great God, surpass the Great God, and then make the Great God submit to me!
Shen Shuyi encouraged herself inwardly.
Her eyes shone brightly as she stared at Xiao Wen while casually chatting with the viewers in her livestream.
The moment Xiao Wen killed Wang Heng, although nearly a thousand soldiers still remained on the battlefield, anyone with eyes could tell that the battle was already over.
As for those soldiers?
They were nothing more than chickens and dogs before slaughter.
A flick of the hand would be enough to destroy them.
With that thought, Xiao Wen led the White Dragon Cavalry in repeated charges, directly exterminating every remaining soldier.
Ding! Congratulations, player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World, for winning the duel.
The crisp system notification sounded beside his ears.
Xiao Wen let out a long breath.
A considerable portion of the resentment and hatred he had accumulated over these past days was finally released.
I’ve finally vented some of my anger!
But don’t worry.
This is only the beginning.
Death in the game isn’t real death.
I’ll send you to the afterlife in reality.
I can already feel it.
The fusion between the virtual world and reality is continuing to deepen!
Sooner or later, I’ll find you!
Xiao Wen let out a low growl and planted the Profound Spirit Battle Halberd heavily into the ground.
His domineering gaze swept across the surroundings.
Anyone who met that soul-shaking gaze felt their hearts tremble. Almost instinctively, they lowered their heads and dared not meet Xiao Wen’s eyes.
Xiao Wen snorted coldly and withdrew his gaze before stepping forward.
However, before he had gone very far, more than thirty players stepped forward and blocked his path.
Every one of them was a member of Dongning Pavilion.
Wang Heng was dead.
But they, the guild members, were still here.
How could they possibly allow Xiao Wen to leave so easily?
Xiao Wen’s expression remained calm.
His gaze swept across them before he let out a cold laugh.
“What? A bunch of lackeys think they can stop me?”
