Where's the cute girl we were promised? She's completely wiped out S-rank dungeons!

Fu Zhengyang roared and lashed out at Xu Jian with his whip. Xu Jian hesitated for a moment before raising his twin swords to block the attack—An Xiaoyou began to focus on fighting Fu Zhengyang. Her skill [Hardened] only lasted three minutes, and her talent [Frenzy], which could only be used once, had already been used while chasing Song Yuan.

An Xiaoyou is now starting to regret it. Why did she waste her talent on something so worthless?! If she can't kill Fu Zhengyang within three minutes, she'll become an ordinary player. At that point, Fu Zhengyang will drain her dry in no time!

Fu Zhengyang was simultaneously fighting an S-rank player and a B-rank player. Having previously absorbed Xu Jian's blood, he was now fighting with ease. He especially noticed the hesitation in Xu Jian's eyes when he attacked him. Furthermore, Xu Jian only defended against him, rarely launching any attacks.

He sneered, inwardly mocking the man's stupidity, and lashed out with his whip. The barbs grazed Xu Jian's side and chest, leaving a bloody welt.

"You damn big idiot! What the hell are you doing?!"

An Xiaoyou, who had been focused on dealing with Fu Zhengyang, was furious. Xu Jian, an S-level player, actually needed her, a B-level player, to remind him:

"Go ahead and chop him up, you son of a bitch! Do you want him to wring your neck off?!"

Xu Jian's forehead was beaded with sweat. He had indeed considered killing Fu Zhengyang to steal the poison materials, but he hadn't expected to have to do it himself. He had told Song Yuan and Qiao Ran from the beginning that he wasn't sure he could bring himself to do it when the time came, but unexpected things always happen faster than planned, and he ended up facing Fu Zhengyang head-on.

When he first joined Midnight Souls, he worked under Fu Zhengyang. Although Fu Zhengyang hadn't given him anything particularly impressive, he had still taken him from a newbie player to S-rank, so it was impossible for him not to feel grateful.

But in this world, how he treats others doesn't guarantee how they'll treat him. Today is a fight to the death; if he hesitates any longer, both he and An Xiao will be drained dry!

[Ding~ Player "Xu Jian" has used the skill "Stamina Ignore". For the next half hour, he will ignore the consumption of health and stamina, and his physical condition will recover to its peak!]

Compared to An Xiaomei's "Fanaticism," Xu Jian's "Physical Disregard" is not as advanced; it can only restore the original state, but cannot enhance the player's own strength like An Xiaomei can.

However, because of his high level, his skill duration was long. After activating his skill, Xu Jian quickly found his rhythm in combat. Fu Zhengyang was clearly starting to struggle.

His "Domination Whip" and Xu Jian's twin swords are weapons of the same level, and their player levels are also within the same level. When Xu Jian activates his skill, Fu Zhengyang cannot gain any advantage.

As the twin blades clashed and flashed, An Xiaoyou seized the opportunity, grinned wickedly, and clawed at Fu Zhengyang's chest with her five fingers:

Fu Zhengyang glanced at her contemptuously. What a joke! Although he was engaged in a fierce battle with Xu Jian, it was impossible for a B-level player like An Xiaoyou to launch a sneak attack on him. Just as he turned to dodge An Xiaoyou's attack, her claws twisted and, with a "whoosh," sliced ​​open his belt. Fu Zhengyang felt a chill between his legs; his suit trousers had fallen to his ankles, revealing his black underwear.

The side pocket of the pants was also cut open by the remaining blade, and the poison material spilled all over the ground.

Fu Zhengyang's eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a heart-wrenching roar:

"An Xiaomei—!"

An Xiaoyou laughed so hard she almost couldn't breathe:

"Hahahaha, you old codger, you've finally met your match?! You care about your image? Wait until this game is over, then you can go around in a suit, all cocky and arrogant. See if anyone's still buying your act, hahahahaha..."

Fu Zhengyang's attention was completely drawn to his lower body; this opportunity was too rare to miss. Xu Jian swung his knife, and the immense impact, coupled with his trousers hanging down to his ankles, greatly reduced Fu Zhengyang's mobility, knocking him directly to the ground.

Under the fear of death, a man's pride and the shame of a high position meant nothing. Fu Zhengyang collapsed to the ground in a disheveled state, one hand protecting his vulnerable neck, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.

"Xu Jian, you're insane! You ungrateful wretch, you really intend to kill me?!"

"No, you can't do this to me! If it weren't for me taking you in, you wouldn't be alive today! You want to talk to me about morality? You heartless wretch, let go!"

When Xu Jian heard the word "ungrateful," even though the man's chest, abdomen, neck, and vital parts were all exposed in front of him, he hesitated to make a move.

In that fraction of a second of hesitation, the black whip tip coiled around his neck like a venomous snake. The sharp barbs mercilessly pierced the existing wound, this time piercing a fatal artery.

[Ding~ Player "Fu Zhengyang" has used the skill "The Vampire at the End of the Road". This skill has already been used once. Would you like to stack it? Player "Fu Zhengyang" confirms stacking. The life-stealing speed is now twice that of the normal form.]

[WARNING: Player "Xu Jian" is under attack from player "Fu Zhengyang" and his health is rapidly decreasing! Please leave the danger zone immediately!]

An Xiaoyou was stunned by the scene and subconsciously wanted to rush up and finish him off, but Fu Zhengyang lashed her away with his whip, stood up nonchalantly, threw Xu Jian's still warm corpse aside, and even elegantly patted the corner of his clothes—if you ignored the fact that he was only wearing a pair of bitter tea leaves on his lower body at the moment.

[Ding~ Player Xu Jian's health points have reached zero, confirmed dead, exiting the game]
