"That's really brutal."
With his Demon Eyes providing a vision far beyond that of ordinary people, Xiao Han patted his chest and said with relief as he witnessed the battle between the Berserkers and the Wolf Soul Mercenary Group.
Fortunately, he ran fast enough not to foolishly anger the berserker, otherwise this disguised strongman would have taught him a lesson with a powerful move.
As for the gains...
Xiao Han's eyes gleamed with a sly glint as he held the crescent-shaped staff that had been stolen and bounced towards him, a wide smile spreading across his face.
Item: Stormfang
Grade: Silver
Description: A staff made from a wolf fang imbued with wind magic, possessing wondrous power.
Feature 1: Comes with the auxiliary magic [Light Feather], Agility +30%.
Feature 2: After skill activation, mana reduction is 20%.
[The Staff of Intelligence used by the silly mage in the mid lane]
Xiao Han was genuinely gratified that he had such a great harvest from a casual act of "stealing".
Alright, with such an obvious staff-waving escape, someone's probably coming after us. It's best to leave as soon as possible.
As for picking off those with low health...
Haha, who said this was a case of using someone else to kill the prey?
What Xiao Han truly coveted was the wealth accumulated by the weasel through plundering!
That's right, the berserker is guarding the Weasel family's territory. He's a powerful figure who seems to be a member of the Gubang family in disguise. With the coordinates of the marked assassins, luring the berserker to deal with them is the best course of action.
Xiao Han narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a harmless smile.
"Let's raid their house!"
...
"Manzhu, what are you doing?!"
Before any reinforcements arrived, the Blood Wolf growled and dodged behind the Berserker, unleashing a spinning slash.
The giant axe-wielding man who had been facing him head-on had been knocked away and was barely catching his breath.
"No, over there..."
Before Manzhu could explain, her keen senses alerted her, and she instinctively raised a magical shield.
The next moment, an arrow shot from the right, piercing through the still-forming magical shield and penetrating Manju's chest.
"Tear!"
Another arrow pierced Manzhu's abdomen, blood splattering everywhere. Manzhu stared in disbelief at the familiar figure who had retrieved the crossbow, forgetting even a hint of anger or reproach, until a flash of sword light appeared, and darkness engulfed her entire vision...
A strong gust of wind swept in, and the swordsman drew his longsword from Manju's heart, a sarcastic smile playing on his lips.
"Ster, you... Pfft!"
Witnessing his wife's murder, Blood Wolf exclaimed in shock, then black blood spilled from the corner of his mouth as the toxins accumulated in his body finally erupted.
poison!
He never imagined that one day his trusted comrade would betray him!
"Captain, it's time to take out the potion the Gubang family gave you."
Ster shook the blood off his sword and, bathed in moonlight, walked step by step toward the Blood Wolf.
At this moment, the berserker was in a weakened state, the giant axe-wielding man was severely injured, and the blood wolf had depleted most of its magic power, barely managing to fight back.
"What exactly did the Lion Mercenary Group offer you that made you betray us?!"
Blood Wolf asked, puzzled.
"Captain, if you want to take out the magic scroll behind you, I don't mind killing you and going to get the potion myself," Ster said calmly, his cold gaze fixed on the back of the Blood Wolf.
Upon hearing this, Blood Wolf stopped using one hand, a cold smile spreading across his lips.
"Ster!"
Leaning on a giant axe, the burly man's upper body was covered with fatal wounds, but he survived thanks to his tenacious will to live.
He stared at the confident Ster, like a trapped beast, his expression turning cold.
Unfortunately, to avoid any unforeseen complications, Stern thrust three crossbow bolts coated with deadly poison into his opponent's body, causing blood stagnation, cardiac arrest, and sudden death within a short period of time.
"What kind of potion are you talking about? I don't understand!"
Witnessing the tank who was shouldering the responsibility of protecting the team being killed, Blood Wolf leaned on his long sword, a fleeting look of astonishment appearing in his eyes.
"Extraordinary awakening potion, don't try any tricks on me."
Ster sneered, his gaze locking onto Blood Wolf. The moment the wolf made the slightest movement, Ster unleashed a thunderous strike, killing Blood Wolf instantly!
“I’ve seen all the details of your dealings with the Gubang family, so if you dare to deceive me, you can go down and join your wife!”
"You bastard!"
Blood Wolf spat out a mouthful of black blood, staring at Ster, a bitter smile playing on his lips:
"I thought it would be Manzhu who betrayed me, but I never expected it to be you. You two... just how much have you been hiding from me!"
Blood Wolf's tone carried a hint of realization, seemingly nonsensical, but in reality, he was secretly restoring his magical energy to alleviate the effects of the poison.
"Isn't it obvious?"
Ster leaned closer, staring at the Blood Wolf, secretly channeling his magical energy, the blade glowing with a silvery light: "Your wife is quite something~"
Blood Wolf: "!!!"
Without wasting words with Blood Wolf, Ster unleashed his peak magical energy and, taking advantage of the wolf's momentary lapse in concentration, drew his sword and slashed at Blood Wolf.
After spouting a bunch of nonsense, the deadly poison within Blood Wolf's body has fully erupted, making it the perfect time to strike.
As for the awakening potion, Blood Wolf, being a ruthless and cunning man, would never produce it. Ster had no intention of getting the potion from the other party either; he could only kill the other party and retrieve it himself.
"Huff!"
Blood Wolf quickly swallowed a pill, which slid down his throat and coalesced into a violent surge of heat that swept through his body. His scarlet eyes flashed with fanaticism, and his body erupted with a powerful aura, which startled Ster.
The drug's effect takes too long to react!
The next moment, the longsword that was about to strike was deflected, and Blood Wolf unleashed a burst of dark red magic energy, sweeping up a white wave of energy that lifted Fist's figure!
At the center of the crimson magic eruption, a scarlet figure flashed, a blood-red cross of light, like a ferocious monster!
"Berserk... Berserk!"
Ster stared wide-eyed, sensing the familiar aura, and stiffly uttered a few words.
"Who told you that Berserk can only be used once!"
Feeling the surge of power within him, Blood Wolf grinned maliciously. With a swing of his longsword, a blade of dark red magical energy cleaved the weakened berserker in two from a distance, blood splattering across the ground!
"This was originally a secret of that organization. Now that it's been exposed, you can forget about living."
The blood wolf materialized into a blur and pounced on Ster without uttering a single word.
"call out!"
A streak of light flashed, and the arrow condensed into a white bird brimming with murderous intent, tearing a piece of flesh from the blood wolf in an instant.
"Magic runes, [White Bird]!"
Blood Wolf's pupils contracted as he looked at the crossbow raised in Ster's hand, which was equipped with exquisite crossbow bolts, with a layer of white flowing patterns appearing on it.
The magical rune [White Bird] is the standard weapon of the Shadow Guards, revealing the power behind the person behind Ster!
The Gubang family!
Before Blood Wolf could think further, the first white bird circled back and attacked from behind, while Ster locked onto Blood Wolf's figure and released the second white bird!
This is a setup!
A deadly trap targeting Titan City's top mercenary group!
The Gubang family not only wants to eradicate the hostile forces at the middle and lower levels, but also to silence or severely damage the executors in order to gain their profits!
