49: Old Man Chen: Stop pretending, I’ll kill you in one move!

Opening his eyes, he was still in Mont Town.

Lu Ziming and Super Dad sat bored on the stone steps nearby.

Turning his head, Lu Ziming’s eyes lit up.

“The old man is online!”

The two of them quickly got up, a smile on their faces.

Chen Beixuan smiled in response, then thought for a moment.

“Only the last Dark Swordsman BOSS is left, let’s quickly take him down.”

“Old man, do you know where the Dark Swordsman is?”

Lu Ziming looked surprised.

Chen Beixuan nodded.

“I have some ideas, but they still need confirmation.”

“Let’s go to the Town Chief’s small building.”

The three returned to the three-story building.

However, upon arriving, they were informed that something had happened to the Town Chief.

“The Town Chief was attacked on his way to the main city and has fallen in battle. If you have anything, please tell me…”

The Middle-aged Man, his subordinate, said with a sorrowful expression.

Chen Beixuan was not surprised at all, but instead feigned a look of regret and muttered to himself.

“This is too sudden. It seems this intelligence we have about the Dark Swordsman can only be sent to the main city…”

After muttering, he looked up and bid farewell to the Middle-aged Man.

Then, he led the two away, heading out of the city.

This series of actions left both Lu Ziming and Super Dad stunned.

“Old man, what intelligence were you talking about just now? Why don’t we know anything about it?”

Walking on the road, Lu Ziming couldn’t help but ask.

Although Super Dad didn’t speak, his eyes also showed some confusion.

He was clearly puzzled by Chen Beixuan’s words.

Chen Beixuan smiled but didn’t answer directly, instead playing coy.

“The Dark Swordsman is going to appear soon, and he’ll actively seek us out.”

“As long as we walk towards the main city, we could encounter him at any time!”

“Oh, old man, stop talking in riddles! You’ve got me all confused. What exactly is going on?”

Lu Ziming didn’t want to wait a moment longer; he wanted the answer now.

Chen Beixuan sighed helplessly. “Can’t I even act profound for a bit? I’m speechless…”

“Do you still remember what the Town Chief’s subordinate said when we entered the Black Curtain?”

“What did he say… wished us good luck?” Lu Ziming scratched his head, trying to recall.

At this moment, Super Dad’s voice rang out.

“He said that what we saw and what was inside were two completely different things, but the key is, how would he know what it looked like inside?”

“Aha, you got it right!”

Chen Beixuan snapped his fingers, giving Super Dad an appreciative look.

“I suspect that person is the Dark Swordsman, so I deliberately told him that I had intelligence on the Dark Swordsman, and I also revealed our destination. It was to lure him out, to make him come find us!”

“So, the Town Chief was also… killed by him?” Lu Ziming suddenly thought of the Town Chief’s death.

“Exactly, it was most likely him.”

Chen Beixuan rubbed the stubble on his chin, analyzing carefully.

“He probably didn’t want his identity exposed, so he killed the Town Chief halfway and stole the communication ghost.”

“That’s why I’m certain he will come to kill us to prevent the message from reaching the main city!”

Lu Ziming let out a long “Oh,” suddenly enlightened.

“So that’s it, brilliant, brilliant!”

The three walked and chatted, unconsciously having gone quite far.

Mont Town was long gone behind them, with no village or shop in sight ahead or behind.

As the surroundings grew quieter, the atmosphere gradually became tense.

Seeing this, Chen Beixuan raised his hand and released Protective Flame to shield the three of them.

After walking for another while.

As they passed through a patch of woods, an anomaly suddenly occurred!

Crack—

A huge, pitch-black sword qi shattered a tree and shot straight towards the three of them!

“Here he comes!”

Chen Beixuan’s eyes narrowed, and he immediately stood in front of the two.

Although the three of them had over a thousand defense, it was better to be safe than sorry.

If Lu Ziming was instantly killed, even killing the Dark Swordsman wouldn’t complete the mission.

Boom—

With a loud bang, the sword qi struck him!

Critical Hit -1240!

“Holy crap!”

Chen Beixuan was startled.

This attack actually dealt over 2400 points of damage!

After he activated his magic array, his dual resistance was a full 1200 points, negating half the damage.

It was a good thing he had the foresight to stand in front of the two.

At this moment, a figure in the jungle entered the three’s line of sight.

He wielded a black cross sword, his upper body bare, with grayish-white skin covered in black veins.

His face was shrouded in black mist, making it difficult to discern his features.

Seeing that the three were unharmed, he seemed very surprised, letting out a soft “hmm.”

“No wonder you could kill Mordo, you have some skill.”

Super Dad was quick, directly casting a Holy Flame Spell on Chen Beixuan’s head!

+1000!

+20, +20, +20, ……

Chen Beixuan stepped forward and cast Detect.

After grasping the BOSS’s attributes, Chen Beixuan felt a sense of calm.

Seeing the black mist on Trick’s face, he raised an eyebrow.

“Hiding your head and showing your tail, do you think we won’t know who you are just by hiding your face?”

Hearing his words, Trick directly dispersed the black mist on his face.

It was indeed the Middle-aged Man who was the Town Chief’s subordinate!

His sickly pale face carried a hint of pity as he swung his sword and approached.

“Please understand me, I cannot allow this message to be delivered to the main city. I’m sorry.”

As he spoke, he slashed with his sword, and a black light sword qi shot out!

“Blacklight Slash!”

Chen Beixuan shook his head at the sight and raised his staff.

“Then I’m sorry too.”

“Chaos Spear · Dark!”

A colossal black spear appeared from the sky and shot out!

As the sword qi hit him, the Chaos Spear · Dark also hit Trick!

Boom—

Pfft—

Critical Hit -1248!

Healing Ban -19548!

Damage numbers floated above their respective heads, the difference immediately clear!

Seeing the comparison of their damage, Trick’s pupils suddenly contracted, and he gasped in shock.

“This is impossible!”

Hearing this, Chen Beixuan’s lips curved slightly upwards.

“One move, and you’re gone!”

“Lightning Spell!”

Boom—

True Damage -20069, 10035.

Lucky Strike +1!

Boom—

True Damage -20069, 10035.

Two lightning bolts, thick as bowls, struck Trick, his health bar instantly bottoming out!

Trick spat out a mouthful of black blood and half-knelt on the ground with a thud.

His eyes were wide, his face filled with disbelief.

He couldn’t even withstand two skills?

Why was this old man’s attack so strong!

Seeing that Trick had less than 1000 health remaining, Chen Beixuan clicked his tongue.

“Tsk, miscalculated. Didn’t even instantly kill him…”

When Lu Ziming and Super Dad heard his words, they were dumbfounded.

Old man, are you even speaking human words?

A Level 20 Bronze BOSS, which used to take ten or twenty seconds to fight.

Is he not even pretending anymore this time?

Knocked down in three seconds?

I advise you not to be so outrageous!

The two rolled their eyes wildly, secretly complaining.
