49: Chapter 49 Backstab Master, Cause of Death: Stealing a Kill

Crimson damage numbers floated above Chen Yichuan's head.

No matter how fast "Clouds Rise, Sword Moves" reacted, it couldn't outpace the attacks coming from four directions.

Li Qinghuan seized the opportunity and stabbed Chen Yichuan in the waist with his sword.

Fortunately, Chen Yichuan reacted in time, and the mist's defense was effective... the sword tip only penetrated half a centimeter into his waist.

Chen Yichuan reacted and kicked toward Li Qinghuan.

He barely managed to dodge it.

Heh heh!!

Having dodged this attack, Chen Yichuan was given no chance to catch his breath.

Seeing that their attacks were working, the four of them looked delighted and launched another assault.

"Die!!"

"Stop talking nonsense, he's just a paper tiger... If I'd known, I wouldn't have wasted so much time."

"Die, kid!!"

This time, Zhao Er and the others didn't attack from four sides; instead, they lined up to block Chen Yichuan's escape route.

Seeing this scene.

Chen Yichuan looked pleased: "Good opportunity."

Without backing down, Chen Yichuan met them with his qingshuang sword.

Just as the four were only half a zhang away from him.

The poison he had been hiding in his pocket finally took effect; Chen Yichuan quickly reached into his pocket with his left hand.

Puff puff puff~~

A move like "Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers."

Irritating black powder scattered toward the four, a cloud of dust heading straight for their faces.

"Not good!"

Seeing this, the four thought to themselves that things were bad.

However, it was too late; the powder was much faster than they were.

A large amount of powder was instantly inhaled into their noses and mouths.

They could only retreat violently, covering their noses and mouths.

Yet this action was ultimately futile.

Within moments.

Cough cough cough.

The four began to cough violently; the more severe cases even coughed up blood.

"Cough, cough, what kind of poison is this? Why does it take effect so quickly?"

"Second Brother, save me. I don't want to die!!"

"Antidote, detoxifying pills, who has them!!"

"Quick, quick, catch that kid—he must have the antidote on him." Zhao Er coughed heavily, ignoring the blood he was coughing up.

He suddenly rushed toward Chen Yichuan.

However.

While still two zhang away from Chen Yichuan.

Thud!

Zhao Er felt his legs go weak and instantly collapsed powerlessly to the ground.

Seeing this, the other three stopped instantly, not daring to move an inch.

This poison just now... it seemed that after intense exercise, the toxicity would trigger instantly.

"Holy crap."

"The poison from Pharmacist Huang is really powerful; it's much stronger than Smiling Half-Step Death." Chen Yichuan was full of shock and hurriedly pulled a detoxifying pill from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth.

Just in case he inhaled the powder too, he wouldn't want to kick the bucket.

Seeing Chen Yichuan put a pill in his mouth, they immediately begged for their lives.

"detoxifying pill, little brother, quick, quick, give it to me, and our grievances will be wiped clean."

"Right, right, I have a First-grade Martial Art on me. As long as you give me the detoxifying pill, please, I have elderly parents and young children!"

"Chen Yichuan, we are both players; we shouldn't kill each other!"

Listening to the pleas of the other three, he looked away from Zhao Er.

Chen Yichuan smirked and smiled slightly: "Foolish. If you die, the martial arts on you will be mine too!!"

"And... Li Qinghuan? You have the nerve to say that. Fellow players? Was it fun stabbing me in the waist just now! Huh!!"

Clang!!

Chen Yichuan casually slashed out with his sword, and a scream rang out beside him.

It was a Quasi-Martial Artist bandit who had tried to rush up and sneak attack.

Drip, drip, drip.

Blood dripped from the qingshuang sword. Chen Yichuan chuckled wickedly and walked toward the four step by step, sword in hand.

The next instant.

Clang.

A sword stroke.

Zhao Er, who had been lying on the ground spitting blood, was instantly decapitated, dead as can be.

Seeing this.

Li Qinghuan and the other two had their hearts in their throats, terrified.

What was even worse... they couldn't mobilize their martial arts Astral Qi. Forcing their power would worsen their injuries and make them cough up blood frantically.

"Kid, no, no, brother, hero! As long as you don't kill me, I'll even be your dog!"

Seeing Chen Yichuan walk up to him, Zhao Si kowtowed heavily until his head bled.

"Heh, sure—"

Hearing this, Zhao Si felt a surge of joy.

Swish!!

However, in the next second, what greeted him was a flash of green light. Chen Yichuan decapitated him as well!

"Be my dog? Maybe in your next life."

Chen Yichuan swept a cold glance over; another 30 points of martial arts experience gained.

Compared to a dog, Chen Yichuan preferred his enemies to turn into martial arts experience.

"Ah! I'll fight you to the death."

Seeing that surrender was hopeless, Old Five immediately made a desperate gamble, completely ignoring the pain in his body.

He frantically mobilized his Astral Qi to coat his iron rod.

Boom.

With one strike, a huge crack was instantly smashed into the ground.

However, Chen Yichuan was nowhere to be seen.

Puff!

As soon as Old Five turned his head, a long sword was instantly plunged into his heart.

"Li Qinghuan! You!!"

Old Five's face was full of disbelief, and with a look of resentment, he died completely!!

Hmm?

Chen Yichuan, who had dodged the strike, darkened his expression. His heart bled; that was 30 points of martial arts experience, and the kill had been stolen just like that.

Without saying a word, he walked toward Li Qinghuan with a grim face.

"Cough, cough, Chen Yichuan, you should see my loyalty now, right? I helped you kill one." Li Qinghuan coughed heavily and smiled miserably.

He intended to atone for his sins this way.

Since they were both players, at most he'd just have to give up some things.

"This is my token of allegiance, and I know the rules... I'll give you everything I have, I just need you to give me a detoxifying pill."

"From now on, I'm at your disposal!"

Thud.

To show his sincerity, Li Qinghuan even knelt on both knees, just begging for his life.

However, what he didn't notice.

Chen Yichuan had his head lowered, holding his blood-dripping sword, walking toward him step by step.

When he was less than a foot away.

Whoosh!

Chen Yichuan's figure blurred, appearing behind Li Qinghuan.

Squelch.

A long sword was plunged into Li Qinghuan's heart.

Thud!

Li Qinghuan fell to the ground and roared in anger: "Why!! Why do you still want to kill me!! We are both players!! We're from the same place!!"

"I'm not willing to accept this!"

Squelch.

Hearing this, Chen Yichuan stabbed Li Qinghuan in the heart again.

"Why!! You ask why? Dammit, don't you love backstabbing? You Backstab Expert!"

"I'll let you taste what it's like to 'pour your heart out' to someone. You stole 30 points of martial arts experience from me and you're asking why? Fuck!"

Chen Yichuan cursed angrily, and then a flurry of punches landed on Li Qinghuan's face.

"martial arts experience?" Li Qinghuan's eyes widened in total disbelief.

He smiled bitterly; he never expected he would lose here... it was truly ridiculous.

Closing his eyes, he laughed at himself: If I had known, I wouldn't have acted, wouldn't have been a Backstab Expert.

Li Qinghuan, deceased!!

"Dammit!"

Chen Yichuan shouted in frustration. 30 points of experience, seriously.

But the frustration only lasted a moment, and his mood soon cleared up.

Because he found two martial arts manuals from the four of them, and they were both First-grade Martial Arts. Of course, they also had some cash on them.

Amidst his excitement.

Just then, Tian Yushan's voice rang out.

"Yichuan, are you okay?"
