LWGP - Chapter 60
Chapter 60: The Second Time
Over my ass.
Wang Jiu retreated at top speed, but the BOSS that had gotten back up still came at her with a Charge.
After the Charge, the mudflow minion let out a yelp, flew two meters, and died on impact. The card was also ruined.
Yang Cheng was still counting the time. One minute, there was still one minute left, but… it died. It died?!
Fuck!
My puppet! I hadn't even finished giving it commands, and because that bitch yelled once, it became a target and got killed!?
Yang Cheng's face was savage, his resentment soaring. The BOSS, however, turned and tilted its head, then used Charge again. Wang Jiu noticed that every time it charged, its legs were in a fixed position.
So… Swish!
Wang Jiu dodged to the side, but it reacted quickly, still slashing with its blade.
Bang! Wang Jiu, who had barely managed to block the blow, was sent flying and slammed directly into a car.
Her back throbbed with intense pain. Good thing her Stamina was high.
But just as she landed, the BOSS came at her again.
Bang, bang, bang! A dense volley of bullets flew out, stopping it in its tracks. But a wave of minions also arrived. Qing Yu and the others' damage output was a drop in the bucket. With the main BOSS here, they were constrained, afraid of being ambushed and killed.
Even though its movement speed was now sharply reduced.
But Wang Jiu wasn't afraid. As long as it was slower than her, after she had technically exploited and dealt with that mudflow minion, the remaining damage output would basically all be hers.
Her only fear was someone stealing the final blow from behind—Xie Lu and the other person must have left because they entered another dungeon. Once they cleared it and rushed here, even if she could get the highest Participation for damage output, she wouldn't meet the condition to obtain the Mystic Realm Fragment.
If they came…
Wang Jiu faintly heard the roar of a sports car.
She pursed her lips slightly. Suddenly, a blade appeared in the team inventory.
Hah! Wang Shu learned fast and was already putting it to use, transferring equipment this way. A second blade. Wang Jiu didn't look toward Wang Shu; she just took the blade.
This blade couldn't be counted in her weapon equipment slot, so it wouldn't add to her attributes, but it was useful.
When Wang Jiu gripped both blades and charged into the mob of minions, her twin blades flying left and right, even the Blade Shieldbearers were killed in a single strike.
In just a few moves, she had cut down more than half the monsters.
The gap was too wide; it was like slicing melons and chopping vegetables.
The BOSS's aggro was on her, and it seized the opportunity to charge over.
Swish. Wang Jiu leaped back, stomped on a Blade Minion's head, and did a backflip. The BOSS's blade passed by, cleaving the Blade Minion's head instead. But it couldn't jump—for no other reason than its injured spine.
So it could only attack along the ground.
Just as Wang Jiu landed, she spun her hands, gripping the twin blades, their edges slicing through the air.
Twin blades against twin blades.
Her superior speed compensated for the gap in strength. Wang Jiu didn't have to block its hand-blades head-on, but it had to evade her twin blades. The rhythm of the battle gradually fell under her control.
The two clashed head-on at extreme speed, the glint and shadow of their blades moving like the wind.
As everyone saw it, Wang Jiu seemed eager to rack up Participation, wanting to claim Ownership Rights of the BOSS. She had already suppressed the BOSS and was hacking away at its health bar, one strike at a time.
Seeing this, the others also unleashed their power, flattening the minions in an instant and charging ferociously toward the BOSS.
The BOSS didn't dare free up its hands, fearing Wang Jiu would kill it. It had no choice but to tank the others' attacks with its body. But then, seeing what was behind Wang Jiu, its eyes glinted. It suddenly used its two hand-blades to lock Wang Jiu's twin blades, then charged. The others were forced into a perilous retreat, while Wang Jiu was sent flying by its ferocious charge.
Behind Wang Jiu, pinned to a car, was the corpse of a Blade Minion she had previously kicked onto it, its body stuck in the car window. Its two hand-blades were pointed straight at her back.
"Be careful!!" Wang Peng howled, but Wang Jiu's gaze was sharp. She suddenly retracted her blades and executed a sliding tackle, letting the charging BOSS pass over her bent-low body.
Its waist was injured, and with that momentum, it was difficult to stop. It plunged straight onto the two hand-blades. Crack. They pierced its body.
But for the BOSS, this was only a wound to its side, not a fatal one. However… it was stuck.
Not good!
Just as the BOSS was about to pull itself free, Wang Jiu was already back on her feet. Her twin blades pressed forward, shoving it back onto the impalement.
Bang! The car shook with a heavy thud.
The BOSS was pinned, several of its ribs severed. Enraged, its body emitted a sharp roar as a green light spread across it.
Not good. Its health bar must be at a critical level. It's about to go berserk.
Retreat, retreat, retreat!
Even Wang Jiu retreated, and the others fell back even more frantically.
Just then, the sports car arrived.
The flashy green sports car executed a beautiful drift, its tires sliding across the ground, splashing up large amounts of…
The retreating Xiao Jue and the others suddenly felt something wet and sticky behind them.
In that instant, it felt as if their entire bodies were paralyzed.
Fuck!
And as they stood paralyzed, both doors of the sports car opened. A black shadow shot out like a cheetah—it was Xie Lu.
That probably wasn't a normal speed.
It was a skill.
There was a halo of light under the afterimage's feet, indicating a skill activation.
This was likely the active basic skill, Charge.
He drew his sword and swept it, the blade cutting through the air with a terrifying sonic boom.
That sword strike headed for the BOSS.
But the other person was even more terrifying. He had clearly just pushed the door open naturally, but as Wang Jiu was retreating, she saw him push the door open, tap his foot, and vanish.
His speed surpassed Xie Lu's.
Yet it wasn't the Charge skill, which meant his Agility points alone had already reached the effect of Charge.
Then he struck with his blade, and that strike wasn't normal either, because there was a skill halo on the blade's edge.
Usually, a skill halo appears for active skills. The current passive basic skills didn't have one. Charge, Heavy Strike, Evasion, and Heal… the only one that could be applied to a weapon was… Heavy Strike!
The moment Xie Jiang's Heavy Strike and Xie Lu's Charge were about to hit the BOSS was a critical point.
A point that caught the BOSS at its strongest berserk state but before it could attack. These two were experienced, timing their burst for this exact moment. If its remaining health was low, under such a full-power joint burst…
The final blow would definitely belong to them.
So…
The rapidly retreating Wang Jiu abruptly stopped, looked up, and saw a tremendous explosion.
Was the BOSS KO'd by their critical hits?
It was unknown. In any case, in that instant, both Xie Jiang and Xie Lu looked at one spot on the BOSS—its head.
A toilet plunger?
No, this was probably not an ordinary toilet plunger.
Because it was emitting a special halo. Or rather, it was a terrifying suction.
A terrifying adsorption… All the filth on the ground within a ten-meter radius, as if controlled by divine magic or super black technology, was scraped clean and sucked away—including what was splattered on everyone.
It all miraculously gathered in one place—the BOSS's body.
BOSS: "!"
I can't see, I can't see anything. It's as if my entire world has been reduced to just one thing.
Shit.
That sight… was probably not much better than the manure truck explosion.
The two young masters of the renowned Xie family, Xie Jiang and Xie Lu, at that moment… Retreat? It was too late.
Fuck, that moment was like a flash of lightning, a fantastical thunderclap, like a dream, like an illusion.
And then… Bang!
The terrifying toilet plunger emitted an intense halo, and then with a bang, a dull, massive sound.
The BOSS, along with that whole swirling mass of… stuff, was blasted away by the terrifying toilet plunger, shooting straight toward one place.
The source of this dungeon—that manure truck.
It was blasted back, slamming into the manure truck. Because of the violent impact…
Both monster and truck… exploded with a tremendous roar.
Excuse me, is there anything in the world more terrifying than a manure truck exploding?
Baidu: Yes. It exploding a second time.
It really did explode again.
A rain of flowers filled the sky.
Everyone who had participated in the battle, including the Xie family's uncle and nephew who had rushed over in their flashy sports car to fight the BOSS…
This time, they weren't in a car.
But Wang Jiu had already fled more than ten meters away as if on wings.
And three seconds earlier, she had just confirmed with the System that she would use that magical toilet plunger.
God as her witness, she didn't do it on purpose. She just wanted to save people.
God as her witness, some pains, once experienced, might well be experienced again.
And some pains, even if you avoid them once, you might not be able to avoid them a second time.
Xie Lu wondered. Earlier, when they were in the car and felt that something was wrong with the manure truck, they had hastily driven away. Even though he'd said he wanted to save people, was there a tiny sliver of… relief in his heart?
He felt there definitely wasn't.
As a soldier of the people, he wasn't that kind of person.
But at this very moment, truly bathed in such a rain of flowers…
He felt…
As if he had died once and couldn't come back to life for a long, long time.
The fragrance of flowers and birds, all sounds of nature stilled. What a beautiful world this was.
In the dead silence within a ten-meter radius of the manure truck at the crossroads, they heard the slightly restrained and grief-stricken voice of a woman from more than ten meters away.
"How could this happen?"
"It's just too tragic."
Her voice was a bit nasal because she was wearing a mask and had elegantly pinched her nose.
But it wasn't affected or artificial. Her demeanor was mature and steady, and even in such a moment of sorrow, she carried herself with grace.
Just like Director Wang's daily interactions with patients.
1. How did you get a terminal illness?
2. It's too tragic.
3. Go pay the fee.
The crowd, who had received the rain of flowers from every angle with their entire bodies: "…"
In the distance, the five people—Wang Shu, Qian Cheng, Song Yuanqiao, Qi Dong, and Qi Jun—were silent.
This is the most terrifying woman I have ever seen, bar none.
Qi Dong hesitated for a moment but still decided to go support his comrade-in-arms, so he ran over.
Xie Jiang turned his head, his expression blank, and said faintly, "Little widow, from the looks on these people's faces and the light in their eyes, I can tell that was definitely your toilet plunger just now."
He'd swear on his awesome ID from the Cai Market that this little widow had calculated the entire thing!
From head to toe, even from the strands of her hair, wafted an aura of insidious hypocrisy.
Wang Jiu lowered her gaze, stood by the roadside, and said, "That's why I say this is the most disgusting and deranged system I've ever seen, to have created such a bizarre item."
Faced with someone she still couldn't beat, spouting nonsense and bullshitting was simply instinctual.
The System, which had been silently watching the show: "???"
What the fuck!! I didn't do it!
And what's wrong with its function? The person using it is the deranged one!
If you didn't do that on purpose, I'll fucking get married this year and live next door to you!
And have you even met other systems? What bullshit are you spouting!
Xie Jiang sneered, his gaze locking faintly onto Wang Jiu. The killing intent in his eyes was palpable, but he didn't move, because… he sensed it.
But he didn't say anything.
Bang! A bullet burst through a window, heading terrifyingly for Wang Jiu's temple… Bang! It hit the ground.
It left a dent in the asphalt, and the bullet ricocheted to the side, piercing a car window.
Wang Jiu, who had just dodged the bullet by tilting her head, took a step and rushed in front of the approaching Qi Dong.
Before Qi Dong could react, she—who was tall, but not as tall as him—used her hands to control his, raising the sniper rifle against his body…
Her cool fingers pressed down on his.
Bang!!
The bullet shot into the second-floor stairway window of the shop where the first shot had just been fired.
Two windows. One was open, used for aiming the sniper rifle. But now, the other was spattered with blood.
He'd been shot.
Was he dead?
Wang Jiu sneered, released Qi Dong, and ran to the side of the shop. She jumped onto a car, leaped again to a tree by the road, and then jumped into the window.
At the top of the stairs, the gunman, who had been shot in the shoulder, was about to run down. But after jumping through the window, Wang Jiu grabbed the handrail and leaped down…
The gunman let out a muffled grunt. A moment later, bang! That pane of glass shattered completely.
He was thrown to the ground, landing right by the row of shops where Wang Shu and the others were. Wang Shu had watched his master jump in, and now he watched this person land. Holy crap, it looked like one of his legs was broken.
In the next instant, Wang Jiu jumped out.
"Save me!" the gunman shouted something.
Several people's faces changed, and they tried to sneak into their cars to escape.
Bang! Bang!
The broken-legged gunman's sniper rifle was in Wang Jiu's hands. She shot out the tires of those two cars, then tossed the rifle to Qian Cheng and the others. She herself dragged the gunman over, threw him on the ground, and looked at the eight people.
Yang Cheng's voice was cold and tense. "What is the meaning of this?"
Wang Jiu bent down, pulled a phone from the gunman's body, and found the most recent call…
Yang Cheng panicked. He subconsciously reached for his own phone, but he was a step too slow.
It still rang.
And then he saw the smile on Wang Jiu's face.
More terrifying than the second manure truck explosion.
