This assassin is upright

Chapter 167 See through! The truth of blood lock! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
Following Yu Zhun's perspective switch, the members of the [God of Killing] Guild quickly arrived at the new battlefield after the teleportation.

Because everyone had experienced a teleportation, the number of players present became even smaller.

But there are more and more players in the viewing space.

Early's amazing performance has already aroused great interest from players on various servers.

"Sure enough, I knew it."

At some point, Salaven returned to the group. He pushed up his glasses, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

“Early’s talent is not that simple.”

"Shalaiwen, did you...see how Habar was killed?" Ji Xiaoyu realized something, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes. She couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

"Early's teleportation just now was not a random one. Instead, he chose a player on the Blood Kill List who was not present at the scene and teleported him." Salaven explained.

"So there were three players at the scene where Habar was killed just now."

"When Habar arrived, Early used [Blood Blade of Slaughter] to instantly kill the third player on the scene and restore health equal to the damage done."

"Then..." Shalewen was silent for a moment, "Habar recovered ten times his health and immediately became full health."

"What?!" Ji Xiaoyu's eyes widened. "So Early can not only take away health but also give it back to others tenfold, but can also heal others?"

"But even so, it should be impossible to kill Habar." Su Hong on the side analyzed, "If I had Habar's talent, I would definitely equip myself with a lot of health-deducting skills."

"Habar needs to be at full health for one second before he can be considered dead. As long as his health is reduced within one second, he will not die."

"Have you noticed a problem?" Yu Zhu said thoughtfully, "If what Salaven said just now is true, then Early can perform this operation without teleporting at all."

"But he chose to teleport."

"And in the process of killing Habar, Early showed new changes that he had not shown before."

"This shows that Early knows that he can kill Habar, but he doesn't want the other players present to know about the change in his ability."

"What's something he doesn't want other players to know?"

"Of course it's impossible that life recovery can also be multiplied tenfold. Early has also performed blood-sucking recovery operations before, which shows that this ability can be controlled by him whether to feedback or not."

"So, what Early didn't want anyone to know is..."

"He can put Habar into a blood lock state."

"Only in this way can he keep Habar at full health for 1 second and eventually kill Habar."

"Let Habal enter the blood lock state?!" Everyone widened their eyes and couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Salaven.

"Yes." Salaven couldn't help but look at Yu Zhu again.

As expected of the president's sister, she thought of it so quickly.

"Habar has entered a blood lock state without taking the initiative."

"He was unable to reduce his own health and eventually died."

Given Habar's own talents, he doesn't need any blood-locking skills or equipment effects, so this state can only come from...

Early!
"So, what exactly is Early's talent?" Saras couldn't help but ask.

"Early's talent is related to himself and another target." Shalevin showed a thoughtful look, "When the talent takes effect, his own health is reduced, and the other target's health will also be reduced tenfold."

"When he restores his own health, the other target will also restore ten times the health."

"Do you feel like... this is like a lever to change the health value?"

Everyone nodded in unison.

"If it's a lever, there should be an active end and a passive end." Yu Zhu followed Salavin's line of thought, "The one-fold change end where Early is is the active end."

“And the tenfold change should be passive.”

"The passive end cannot actively change the health value while the lever is in effect. It can only be changed by the active end..."

"The reason why Habar's health didn't decrease is because Early's health, who was on the active end of the lever, didn't change."

As he analyzed, Yu Zhu's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"What if Early puts himself on the passive side and chooses a target that is not in the battle as the active side?"

"It's blood lock!" Ji Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, "This is the truth of Early's talent, and this is also the reason why he can lock blood multiple times!"

"No, this is not a blood lock at all!" Su Hong looked excited, "If someone finds the target that Early has chosen and attacks it, Early will get ten times the feedback!"

"But..." Su Yue said faintly, "It's not easy to find the active target."

Everyone couldn't help but look at the battle circle at this moment.

In the chaotic battlefield with nearly twenty people, there are always players whose health points do not change. The target that Early chooses to lock the health every time must also change.

In this ever-changing battle, it is extremely difficult to lock on to the target.

unless…

"Reduce the number of targets within the attack range." Salaven said slowly, "When only one or two players are facing Early, they can easily find the opponent's flaws."

But, this is also difficult.

Because the players surrounding Early at this moment are also in competition with each other.

It is impossible for them to achieve complete unity.

What's more, they may not be able to judge Early's true talent until the end.

After all, they don't have a God's perspective like the spectators.
-
"time is limited."

Standing at the edge of the venue, Yu Zhun looked at Early's soaring kill count on the blood kill list, his eyes slightly condensed.

Early must be killed as soon as possible.

If it was a little later, even if he killed Early in the end, it would be difficult to catch up with the opponent's kill count and top the blood kill list.

only…

What exactly is this guy's ability?
Yu Zhun frowned, looking at Early, who was being chased and blocked in the field but seemed to be at ease, and tried to put himself in the opponent's perspective.

First of all, one thing is clear, that is, Early came here just like him, not to pass the level, but to pass it perfectly.

So, what Early needs is as many kills as possible.

This is also the reason why he never teleported and just accepted it all no matter how many people besieged him.

Because once Early chooses to teleport, the number of others will inevitably be halved in order to catch up with him, and the number of kills that originally belonged to him alone will be distributed to everyone present.

In Early's eyes, all the players present might be his prey, waiting for him to kill them one by one and finally get the honor of a perfect clearance.

There is one thing that doesn't make sense in this situation.

That is, although Early had the ability to kill Habal instantly, he chose to teleport away.

unless…

When he killed Habal instantly, the ability he used was an ability that had not been displayed at the moment, and he did not want other players to see it, even if it meant reducing the number of kills.

Combined with the special death determination mechanism brought by Habar's talent, this is very likely.

From 0 health to full health in one second...

Yu Zhun's eyes moved slightly, and he subconsciously looked at the players in the field.

If Early's talent is what he thinks it is...

In the current situation, there is really nothing we can do to the other party.

In this case…

Yu Zhun slightly tightened the dagger in his hand.

It's time to clear the area.

"clang--"

A bell rang out from the void, echoing across the battlefield.

The next moment, a mage who was using all his strength to unleash his skills on Early paused. A blood-red dagger mark appeared above his head, and a line of blood-red text appeared in front of his eyes.

[【The Thorn of the End】Yu Zhun, I have sounded the death knell for you! 】

Before the mage player could react, Yu Zhun had already arrived in front of him and stabbed his chest with a pair of daggers at the same time. Weapon equipment effect [Hunting Shadow], activated!

Mark the designated enemy target, immediately move in front of the opponent and increase agility by 100% for 5 seconds!

【Life-637543】

The moment the opponent's health was locked, Yu Zhun stomped his foot, and an invisible air wave instantly enveloped multiple players within a radius of 10m.

Boots equipment effect [Trample], activated!

Slow down hostile units within 10m range by 50% for 5s!

The players within the range felt as if their legs were being held back by something, and their instinctive attempt to move away was slowed down by a beat.

The next moment, a gray hazy area covered everything.

[Thorn of the End] exclusive skill, [Assassin's Field]!
Increase agility by 80%, and reduce the agility of hostile targets in the area by 40%, lasting for 15s!

Unexpectedly, the speed and agility of all nearby players were reduced, and Yu Zhun had already looked at the nearest archer.

The death knell rings again.

"clang--"

[【The Thorn of the End】Yu Zhun, I have sounded the death knell for you! 】

A blade flower suddenly blossomed under Yu Zhun's feet, and it flew across a distance of five meters in an instant like a startled wild goose, instantly clearing the health bar of the archer player on the path.

Weapon equipment effect [Instant Bloom], activated!

Move 5m in the specified direction and attack all enemies on the path!
Attacks came towards Yu Zhun one after another. The players, who had just woken up from a dream, reacted and attacked without hesitation.

Facing these people who attacked, Yu Zhun's eyes flashed slightly, and gray rays of light appeared around him.

[Thorn of the End] exclusive skill, [Fearless Finale]!
At this moment, Yu Zhun's damage reduction is as high as 95%!

Yu Zhun bravely withstood the fierce attacks, and without even breaking his shield, he turned around and killed the mage who had been locked in health before, and then activated the equipment effect [Instant Bloom] and killed another person with a single move!
This sudden change left many people unable to recover.

no…

Everybody is trying to work together to take down Early, why are you joining in the fun, brother?
If we reduce the number of personnel at this time, won’t it be even more difficult to deal with Early?

Many players who were also on the blood-killing list couldn't help but frown, looking at Yu Zhun with a bit of hostility, and had already begun to consider whether to take action to deal with this troublemaker first.

Early, who caught a glimpse of this scene during the battle, also had a flash of anger in his pupils.

"Who allowed you to..."

"Touch my prey?!"

"Pfft-"

Yu Zhun, who had already killed the fourth player with lightning speed, casually shook off the blood on the dagger and looked at Early.

"Did I allow you to open your mouth? Prey."

The field suddenly fell into dead silence.

The air seemed to be quiet at this moment.

All the players looked at Yu Zhun in amazement.

Damn...

Are you so brave, bro?

The last person who challenged Early was defeated instantly by Early.

And Yu Zhun's behavior was even braver than Habal's.

This is a direct provocation to Early...

“Hehehe…” Early’s scarlet eyes were filled with murderous intent and anger, and he laughed crazily, “Hahahaha…”

"Treat me as prey?"

"You deserve it too!"

With a roar, Earley turned into a scarlet blood light and instantly rushed to Yu Zhun. The dagger in his hand drew a streak of blood in the air and stabbed Yu Zhun's neck fiercely.

Hooked.

A smile flashed in the depths of Yu Zhun's eyes.

"clang--"

[【The Thorn of the End】Yu Zhun, I have sounded the death knell for you! 】

Without any panic, Yu Zhun activated the [Death Knell] once again, holding two daggers in his hands and instantly blocking the opponent's dagger.

"Ping—"

"Ping ping ping -"

Amid the continuous sounds of weapons clashing, Early's movements became visibly slower, and he was eventually stabbed in the chest by Yu Zhun.

"Pfft-"

Yu Zhun clearly felt that although he stabbed Early, there seemed to be an inexplicable force between the two of them. This force not only did not change Early's health value at all, it even quietly dissolved the one-hit-kill mechanism into nothingness.

"Kill with one strike, is that awesome?" Early grinned, as if he wanted to see Yu Zhun's surprised look, but when he found that Yu Zhun's expression did not change, the ferocious look in his eyes became even more intense.

"What a nasty guy."

"go to hell!"

With a roar from his mouth, an increasingly dense scarlet aura surged around Early's body, and his attributes rapidly increased in an instant.

[Extremely Evil Maniac] exclusive skill, [Moment of Evil]!
Agility increased by 100%, and all attributes increased by 50%!

"Ping—"

Once again, Yu Zhun used both daggers to block the opponent's stabbing dagger, and a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes.

【Unparalleled Sword Dance】, activate!

Weapon changed: [Netherworld Mourning Demon Blade +25]!
Weapon equipment effect [Elegy], activated!

Agility increased by 200%, lasts for 10s!

A pair of daggers stabbed out like afterimages, suppressing Early head-on again, and then stabbed fiercely into Early's abdomen.

"It's no use!" Early laughed wildly. "You can't hurt me. It's meaningless!"

"But the other way around." Early's eyes turned strange, "It's different."

As he spoke, Earley took the initiative to move away from Yu Zhun and rushed towards an arrow.

【Life-350523】

The next moment, words appeared above Yu Zhun’s head.

【Life-980130】

Helmet equipment effect [Fearless], activated!

The health value decreases by no more than 50% of the maximum health value per second!

The protective gear equipment effect [continues] is activated!

When the health value is not full, if there is a shield, the shield will be automatically consumed to restore the same amount of health!
[Shield-980130]

【Life+980130】

“…Huh?” Early’s smug smile froze slightly.

"It's different the other way around?" Yu Zhun, who had regained full health, looked at Early calmly, "Tell me why it's different?"

"The life loss limit per second..." Early's forehead was bulging with blue veins, and his eyes became ferocious, "So that's it, it's [Fearless]..."

Before he could finish his words, he rushed towards the other player without hesitation.

Yu Zhun snorted and rushed towards the nearest player.
