Battle Shen Jin!
Shen Jin!
A chill ran through me, but I turned around without fear, carrying the blood-stained Ride the Wind Sword, and glanced at the direction the sniper rifle was firing.
Shen Jin's Sniper Rifle is most likely a purple-tier weapon, the same as my Wind Whisperer, with a maximum firepower of around 500. Although the semi-automatic version might have a faster rate of fire, its accuracy is much lower. In addition, my armor itself can reduce a lot of shooting damage, so this sniper rifle poses no threat to me.
Unless he can get Headshot with every shot, dealing triple damage, but at such a distance, it's likely that Shen Jin's shooting skill isn't high enough, otherwise he wouldn't have missed the Headshot on the first shot.
"Shadow Chaser."
From within the star map came the voice of Shen Jin: "Don't misunderstand, I didn't intend to kill you with a sniper rifle. A sniper rifle couldn't kill a legendary figure like you who fought the decisive battle in Creek City. This shot was merely a greeting."
I frowned. "Shen Jin, were you following me?"
"Track?"
Shen Jin chuckled, "I'm not that bored, and you shouldn't think so highly of yourself. It was just a coincidence. My target this time was the same as yours, the Frostwind Lord. It's just a pity that you got into the Wolf King's Tower area first, so I'm giving you a heads-up and telling you that if you want to take on this BOSS, you'd better get past me, Shen Jin."
His voice turned icy. "Perfect timing, we haven't settled our score yet."
"Alright."
I nodded. "So, is this battle a matter of life and death?"
"Point!"
Shen Jin said calmly, "Are you afraid?"
"I'm afraid you'll die too soon!"
The next second, I drew my sword and charged towards the direction of Shen Jin!
"Okay, let's go!"
From within the star map came Shen Jin's arrogant laughter. "Since entering the Star Abyss, I haven't had a single worthy opponent. Let me see if you, this legendary figure from the Stream City Campaign, are as powerful as the legends say!"
As he spoke, the sound of a bolt being pulled came from the other side, and then Shen Jin began to snipe continuously!
My gaze turned cold, and I instantly rushed behind a small hill. I moved swiftly, closing the distance while dodging Shen Jin's attacks. When fighting against a top-tier player like this, one must not be careless; losing even a little bit of health is unnecessary.
As for finding cover to snipe each other, that's not out of the question either.
But there's no need. A sniper rifle's long-range damage might not be enough to kill the enemy. My goal in this battle is to keep Shen Jin in the Land of Cold Wind forever. If there's an opportunity, it's better to take advantage of the situation and eliminate an enemy of this caliber!
"Whoosh!"
When the distance between the two sides closed to 500 meters, I finally saw the figure of Shen Jin, lying among the rocks behind the Wolf King's Tower. But at that moment, a rocket trailing fire flew over!
It's an RPG!
"Boom!"
I used an Explosive Charge to create a 40-yard distance. I heard the sound of a rocket exploding behind me, but I avoided all the damage. At the same time, I took out my RPG, aimed at the enemy's coordinates the instant I flew past a rocky outcrop, and launched it with a "whoosh"!
"Boom~~~"
A few seconds later, a burst of sparks exploded from the rocky spot where Shen Jin was hiding!
Neither of them spoke. Taking advantage of the flying sparks, I went at full speed and headed straight for the other. At the same time, I switched my main weapon to the Roarer and opened fire at the maximum range when I was 120 meters away from the Shen Jin!
"Bang bang bang~~~"
Although the shot was aimed at the head, the distance was too extreme, so even with the Mastery of Shooting level 10 bonus, the Headshot rate was still quite low!
"135!"
"339!"
"144!"
"141!"
"132!"
Five shots, only one Headshot, and it's confirmed that Shen Jin's armor is quite high, reducing the Roarer's firepower by almost half. Even so, the constant loss of health still put Shen Jin in a difficult position.
His health bar is very high, and the Submachine Gun's attacks aren't powerful enough!
"You think you're the only one with an advanced furnace?!"
From within the star map came the voice of Shen Jin: "I'm also an SS-rank furnace, what are you going to do with me?!"
The next second, he stopped crawling forward, suddenly stood up, and switched his main weapon to a Purple Submachine Gun. Instantly, bullets sprayed out, and in just three seconds, my health bar dropped by more than 3,000!
That's pretty ruthless, but we can't activate the Annihilation Rock Armor right now!
"Whoosh!"
With Step Slash, I dashed forward 5 yards, and in the next instant, I switched my primary weapon to Explosive Gun. While quickly moving in an S-shape, I maintained a firing stance, and "bang bang bang" shot after shot locked onto the opponent's head!
Max level Mastery of Shooting is no joke. Although both of them were using purple weapons, my Headshot rate was obviously higher. Although Shen Jin tried his best to dodge, he kept getting hit in the head, and damage numbers flew into the air!
"425!"
"1324!"
"842!"
"1209!"
"1200!"
What's terrifying is that I'm using Armor-piercing Round- piercing rounds from my Explosive Gun, which greatly ignore the player's armor. Even if Shen Jin is wearing a set of second or Third-Generation Power Armor, let alone just some miscellaneous heavy armor, my Explosive Gun can still deal considerable damage!
"Grass!"
The next second, Shen Jin gave up the exchange of fire!
If the two were simply exchanging firearms, he would be doomed; he would have absolutely no chance!
"Boom!"
A cloud of dust erupted as Shen Jin unleashed Leaping Chop, wielding the same purple longsword he had seen before. He descended from the sky, bringing the sword down fiercely towards my head!
"Clang~~~"
In a flash, the Ride the Wind Sword was drawn, perfectly parrying the opponent's sword strike!
Fuck you!
The blade of the Shen Jin Sword rose upwards, and then kicked out fiercely.
I leaped away, dodging the sword strike, and at the same time, delivered a beautiful slash to his throat!
"1321!"
The damage is very high!
At the same time, his figure passed by the other party, and he raised his hand to grab Shen Jin's cloak, pulling him backward. Shen Jin's body leaned back, his face showing indescribable shock!
But his reaction was extremely fast; the instant he fell, he braced himself against the ground with one hand and unleashed a series of kicks!
That movement was so agile!
No wonder some people on the Dark Web have hailed Shen Jin as a future T1 Level Player in Star Abyss.
I suddenly raised one arm, blocking Shen Jin with two loud "thumps," and then kicked him hard in the stomach!
"442!"
Immediately afterwards, he switched his primary weapon to Explosive Gun and fired another burst at his head!
There's no need to draw your sword if a problem can be solved with Explosive Gun.
In an instant, Shen Jin's health bar plummeted, his health bar continued to drop, and his face turned deathly pale. He suddenly pulled out a Medical Box and used it immediately, instantly restoring 50% of his health!
Wow, an item worth 40,000+ Star Coins, let's use it right away!
"Boom!"
Explosive Charge!
The distance was too close, the speed too fast, and it was launched while Submachine Gun was firing—there was no way to dodge!
But just as the Explosive Charge was about to pierce through my body, I activated Annihilation Rock Armor. Instantly, strands of rock energy swirled around me, forming a constantly annihilating armor that greatly reduced the Shooting Damage!
Shen Jin wasn't stupid either. He instantly switched to a purple longsword, unleashed his elemental power, and the space began to ripple. In an instant, he launched a continuous attack consisting of Armor Penetration strike, a normal attack, Dragon Blade strike, a normal attack, Ground Spike Slash, and another normal attack!
The opponent's equipment was too good, and their attack power was extremely high. Even with the Annihilation Rock Armor, my health bar was still dropping rapidly.
However, the health bar stopped dropping at around 50%, and under the power of my Explosive Gun, Shen Jin's health bar dropped even faster!
"Whoosh!"
With a burst of sword light, after dismantling the opponent's block, I immediately unleashed my ultimate move. My right arm instantly turned chillingly cold, and Cosmic Frost swirled around the blade, freezing the opponent in place with a single strike!
The Cold Star Piercing Bone!
"You..."
Shen Jin was dumbfounded, only able to watch helplessly as his body was frozen, followed by a series of attacks from Ground Spike Slash and Bloodthirsty Assault. His health bar was pumped out like a water pump, leaving him severely Severely Injured!
"Bang bang bang!"
The Explosive Gun roared once more, ignoring any movement or evasive maneuvers the opponent made!
I was truly determined to kill him. After all, Shen Jin's equipment was incredibly tempting, especially that Purple Submachine Gun. If I had it, it would be much more effective!
Shen Jin's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!
In an instant, he turned the ring on his finger and actually used Burst Skill!
[Battle Prompt: Player "Shen Jin" has activated the Burst Skill "Angus's Protection" from the Angus's Ring Angus" (Quality: Purple), entering a 3-second invincible state!]
When a layer of shimmering light appeared around Shen Jin's Ash, the bullets fired from my Explosive Gun bounced off as if hitting a wall of sighs, failing to cause any damage!
At the same time, Shen Jin took out a blue crystal, crushed it, and his body instantly became crystalline!
[Battle Notification: Player [Shen Jin] has used the item [Phase Teleportation Core] (S-rank)!]
"Whoosh!"
After a flash of light, Shen Jin's body was teleported away on the spot, while all my bullets landed on the open ground!
'Oh shit!'
I stood there, secretly regretting it.
The Phase Teleportation Core is a rather rare item, rated S-tier, the same tier as my Automatic Loading Mini-Robot, but it's a one-time consumable.
I don't know where Shen Jin got this Phase Teleportation Core from, but consuming it directly is like losing a life. That feeling must be extremely unpleasant!
"Shadow Chaser, I underestimated you."
From within the star map came the unwilling voice of Shen Jin.
I frowned. The Phase Teleportation Core is a small teleportation device. Its function is simply to randomly teleport to another place within the current world map. It's essentially a refuge teleportation. So, Shen Jin is still in the Land of Cold Wind. However, the Land of Cold Wind are so vast that as long as he leaves, he's safe.
I underestimated you too!
My voice was low and calm as I said, "Shen Jin, I'll say it again, Lei Yan attacked first. I killed him in self-defense. We players should unite in <Star Abyss>, there's no need for us to kill each other. If you'll let this go this time, I'll pretend today never happened. Of course, if you still want to kill me, you're welcome to come again. But next time, you might not be so lucky."
"..."
Shen Jin remained silent, quietly exiting the star map.
