34: Chapter 33 So many people are interested in me? That's wonderful!

"Die! The fifty million is mine!"

Clang! Clang!

The exceptionally crisp sound of metal clashing suddenly exploded across the empty wilderness.

No blood sprayed. No flesh was torn.

The dagger's blade, sharp enough to pierce through refined steel, erupted with a dazzling burst of sparks upon touching the skin beneath Lin Mo's plain clothes.

Two glaring red numbers floated up from above Lin Mo's head.

- 0! (Blocked damage 4219)

- 0! (Blocked damage 6219)

At the same time, two pale golden notifications popped up on Lin Mo's interface.

[Block effective, damage successfully mitigated. Talent EXP + 40000!]

"What?!"

The ambushing assassin stumbled out of the shadows, eyes wide with shock.

He looked at his numb thumb-web area, his brain experiencing a momentary shutdown.

His dagger was a level 30 high-grade dark gold equipment. Combined with the 100% armor penetration passive of his Monarch-tier Storm Assassin class, he could instantly kill even a pure tank Shield Guard!!

Let alone a Blank Slate Warrior who wasn't even wearing armor!

"What on earth is this thing? A one-time life-saving skill? A Famous Blade?"

The assassin reacted instantly.

"Invincibility must have a cooldown!"

"I'll control you first! Let's see what you do then!"

The assassin gritted his teeth, flipped his wrists, and crossed his dual daggers.

Shadow Bind!

The daggers transformed into two black snakes, slithering into the shadows to tightly bind Lin Mo's feet.

Lin Mo's body stiffened, and he immediately put on a bitter expression.

"Oh my, I can't move."

"Big Brother, spare me! I surrender!"

Hearing this, the assassin's face lit up with joy.

"Not bad, you're a sensible one."

He walked over to Lin Mo, looked him over a few times, and quickly confirmed his identity.

"So you're this guy Lin Mo?"

"Your hidden talent isn't anything special either."

"If you act like a good dog from now on, maybe..."

Just as he reached out to pat Lin Mo's shoulder, his expression changed in an instant.

Lin Mo suddenly erupted with an absurd amount of speed and swiftly grabbed his shoulder.

"I've caught you!"

Feeling the immense strength coming from his wrist, the assassin's expression shifted.

Before he could ask why Lin Mo was still able to move, he felt a fatal threat.

The dagger in his hand, like a nimble, ghostly light, thrust directly at Lin Mo's eyes.

Blind! Mental Pierce!

Ding! Ding! These two strikes felt as if they had stabbed into the hardest metal in the world.

Lin Mo smiled, looking down at the scrawny masked assassin before him.

The assassin's pupils shrank violently, his breathing completely ceasing. Twice! Twice, completely nullified!

"You... what kind of monster are you?!"

The assassin kicked off the ground, attempting to break free from his grip.

"Since you're already here, take a sword strike from me first!"

Lin Mo raised his right hand, and a longsword appeared out of thin air. There were no flashy skills. It was just an extremely simple overhead slash.

But with his Strength stat boosted by his epic grade equipment, Lin Mo had reached 810 points!

Level 420 Berserk increased his Strength by 259.5%, reaching 2912, making the damage of every one of his sword strikes approach the 3,000 threshold!

The assassin was horrified and instinctively crossed his daggers to Block. He did not want to experience Lin Mo's monstrous strength!

The longsword slashed onto the dual daggers. The [Three Spirits Symbiosis] effect of the epic grade weapon triggered instantly.

Bang! Bang! Bang! One sword, three consecutive hits.

- 2710 - 2580 - 2682

The first hit caused cracks to appear on the daggers. The second hit snapped both daggers at the base. The third hit slammed the spine of the sword heavily against the assassin's chest.

"Pfft— My Famous Blade!"

The assassin spat out a mouthful of blood, his sternum collapsed over a large area, and he flew backward like a tattered sack, slamming heavily into a rock over ten meters away.

This sword strike had directly forced out his life-saving measure, the Famous Blade.

Lin Mo carried his sword and walked over unhurriedly. He stepped on the assassin's shattered chest and applied a little pressure.

"Ahhh—!" The assassin let out a shrill scream.

"What's this about a fifty million bounty?" Lin Mo's voice was very gentle, with no hint of killing intent.

The assassin gritted his teeth tightly, his eyes filled with resentment: "Do you think you can survive... cough cough... your affairs haven't been a secret for a long time!!"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, pressed his longsword against the assassin's thigh, and gently stabbed downward.

"Tell me something I don't know, for example, who wants to deal with me?"

"Ah! The Zhang family... the Lin family... the Li family... the Nine Nether Lands... the Jiang clan of the Southern Province... the Song clan of the Northern Lands, even overseas forces have bounties on you."

"Your profile is everywhere on the dark web! Level 30 Blank Slate Warrior, family member of the King-tier class holder Su Xiaoli!"

The assassin twitched in pain, speaking extremely fast: "Killing you gets fifty million Alliance coins, capturing you alive gets one billion Alliance coins!"

A flash of surprise crossed Lin Mo's eyes. Good grief. So many people coming to cause trouble. It seems this dungeon trip will be quite spectacular. One billion! No wonder this guy was so excited right from the start. Wealth moves people's hearts, especially for those desperate outlaws capable of entering a Hell-tier dungeon.

"What else?" Lin Mo continued to ask.

"Th-there's more!" The assassin swallowed a mouthful of blood, "The Alien Races have issued a bounty; whoever can kill you will become an eternal distinguished guest of the Alien Races and can even marry an Alien princess!"

"Alien Races? Which race?"

"I... I don't know... I've told you everything... let me go..."

The assassin pleaded, his palm quietly groping toward the pouch at his waist. As long as he could exit combat, he could use an escape scroll to leave this dungeon!

"Your information is very useful." Lin Mo smiled. "However, for people who have been used up, it's better if they die."

"W-wait! I have even more important information!! Please, let me go!"

The assassin, fearing Lin Mo would strike immediately, spoke rapidly: "It was the people from the Zhang family who spread the news about you; they've been spreading your information everywhere and selling it everywhere. You should take revenge on them!"

With a flip of his wrist, the sword light flashed. A perfectly good head soared into the sky.

[Killed a class holder, obtained 0 points.]

"Pah! Poor wretch!" Hearing the system prompt, Lin Mo cursed under his breath.

He had no soft spot for the assassin's pleas for mercy. Since he came out to kill, being killed in return was only natural.

Shaking the blood off his blade, he scanned his gaze across the surroundings of the wilderness.

Just then. Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Three shrill sounds of air being pierced shot out from behind a sand dune a hundred meters away.

Those were three refined steel arrows imbued with frost magic. The targets were extremely vicious—Lin Mo's eyes and throat.

At the very same instant that Lin Mo's attention was drawn by the arrows, the sand beneath his feet suddenly burst open, and four or five thick thorny vines shot out like pythons, tightly binding his ankles and calves.

He instantly fell to the ground! Conveniently dodging those three arrows.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

"Oh my! Help! Don't kill me! I surrender!" Lin Mo let out a terrified cry, as if he were about to be killed the next moment.

The thick thorny vines tightly coiled around his limbs, with poisonous barbs embedding deeply into his clothes.

Behind the sand dune, the sound of the wind temporarily ceased. There was no response. Those two attackers were like invisible people, their breathing perfectly blended into the wind and sand.

"These two guys are quite steady." Lin Mo muttered inwardly.

If it were an ordinary villain, they would have already jumped out to mock him arrogantly by now. But these two hadn't even shown their heads.

Swoosh! A shrill whistling sound tore through the air. A frozen arrow carrying an aura of extreme cold pinned itself with pinpoint accuracy right beside Lin Mo's ear.

The arrow exploded, and a layer of ghostly blue frost instantly spread, freezing most of his shoulder to the ground.

Immediately after, the ground trembled violently again. "Samsara Handprint!" A deep and hoarse chanting voice came from a hundred meters away.
