Robbing and Killing

"Seeking death!"

Wang Gan let out a roar, his body spinning at high speed like a top.

With his arms and the giant blade on his head spinning rapidly, he formed a terrifying whirlwind of blades; everything in the vicinity was shredded and pulverized, leaving nothing but barren ground in his wake.

Li Ran remained completely unfazed, waving the Magic Shadow in his hands to easily counter Wang Gan's blade storm.

The Magic Shadow in his hands resembled the biting of a demonic wolf; Li Ran swung his arms rapidly, unleashing streaks of Magic Shadow Bite that looked like a pack of wolves pouncing from afar.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

The two forces collided violently, yet Li Ran did not fall behind in the slightest, even showing signs of crushing the giant blade storm.

After the Magic Shadow Bite possesses me, my strength and speed have received a temporary boost. Furthermore, the armor where the Magic Shadow covers my arms has been reinforced; even if I take the damage of this blade storm head-on, there isn't the slightest sign of it shattering. It truly lives up to the Rare-grade skill.

Li Ran fought with increasing ferocity, using his bare hands to wield the Magic Shadow Bite and literally tearing the terrifying blade storm to shreds.

"Boom!"

The storm collapsed, and Wang Gan's entire body was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

He looked at Li Ran in disbelief.

He broke his attack with his bare hands?

What was the point of fighting? They weren't even on the same level!

A single word flashed through Wang Gan's brain: Run!

At this moment, Li Ran appeared behind Wang Gan like a ghost.

Wang Gan's expression stiffened, and he turned his blade-like head around in utter terror.

A fierce glint appeared in Li Ran's eyes as he slammed a Magic Shadow claw onto Wang Gan's head, the Magic Shadow Bite viciously clamping down on the giant blade atop his skull.

He twisted his claw and squeezed!

"Crack... snap!"

With a crisp sound, Wang Gan's blade-head was deformed and shattered by the bite of the Magic Shadow.

"Ah!!"

Wang Gan let out a miserable scream, waving his arms to force Li Ran back, finally escaping the fate of having his head crushed by the Magic Shadow.

Excruciating pain radiated from the top of his head, and his face was covered in blood; he knew the giant blade he had morphed was completely ruined, and if nothing else, his scalp was likely a bloody mess!

Li Ran tossed the shattered blade aside and walked slowly toward Wang Gan like a terrifying god of slaughter.

Wang Gan was paralyzed with fear, retreating step by step.

But that cunning fox was behind him, and he had nowhere left to run.

Wang Gan suddenly realized he had provoked someone he couldn't afford to offend.

Yet, he didn't want to sit and wait for death: "Since I can't escape, I might as well take him down with me!"

Thinking of this, Wang Gan's eyes became bloodshot, his veins bulged, and countless blood-colored, tentacle-like things surged from his skin toward his mangled head.

Even if he died, he would make the other party pay the price!

But it was all too late.

In front of Li Ran, who had the prompt of a golden finger, Wang Gan's thoughts were laid bare before him.

Li Ran swung his arms from a distance, and the Magic Shadow Bite gave a violent tug, giving Wang Gan almost no time to counterattack; the giant blades on Wang Gan's left and right shoulders were dismantled like mechanical parts.

A shadow flashed in Li Ran's eyes, and a sky-piercing aura of Magic Shadow surged from his entire body—this was the passive effect of Magic Shadow Bite: [Demon Shadow Stomp].

Under the cover of night, the Darkness Domain provided the maximum effect for [Demon Shadow Stomp].

With a "boom," black clouds surged!

A majestic aura, indistinguishable between clouds and demonic mist, shrouded the sky above the block.

Suddenly, a giant Magic Shadow foot appeared out of thin air within the dark demonic clouds and stomped down with a roar!

"Too strong..."

A look of disbelief still lingered in Wang Gan's eyes; his body of steel and head of iron were actually unable to withstand a single blow from this kid?

"Bang!!"

With a deafening sound, the entire block shook!

However, he would never have the chance to repent again; his entire body vanished beneath that giant Magic Shadow foot, like an ant casually crushed by a passing Titan.

When the giant Magic Shadow foot dissipated, the Demon King of Killing, Wang Gan, was nothing but a mangled, unrecognizable mess of flesh and blood.

[Mission Complete: Eliminate the Demon King of Killing]

[Completion Reward: Mysterious Power +100, Points +1000, Special Equipment *1]

Listening to the cold mission notification in his ears, Li Ran felt a sense of relief.

This mission had been weighing on his heart like a ticking time bomb, keeping him on edge.

He didn't care about himself, but he was terrified that Wang Gan would be blind enough to target Su Bingyao and Li Ziyang.

Eliminating Wang Gan this time had gone much more smoothly than he had imagined.

If not for his Mysterious Power approaching eight hundred points, combined with the sneak attack and the coordination of Scarlet Iris, killing Wang Gan would not have been so easy.

Wang Gan's body of steel, in particular, was impervious to ordinary attacks.

I must remain cautious when dealing with Rank A enemies in the future. This time, the preemptive strike succeeded and allowed me to suppress him, but what about next time? Will I be this lucky again?

Thinking of this, Li Ran still felt that this operation had been a bit too reckless.

However, it was fortunate that he had successfully resolved the hidden threat that was Wang Gan.

The five-minute duration of the Magic Shadow Bite on Li Ran's body had also expired, dissipating automatically.

He glanced at Wang Gan's corpse.

He had previously thought he would need to hide his trump cards to deal with the murderer, yet he had managed to eliminate him without even using them.

Kinship Summon Card + Bond Card.

Phoenix Flying Together, a bond that granted a fifty percent surge to all attributes!

This trump card was his wife, Su Bingyao.

Unless absolutely necessary, he would never use this card.

"The mission is complete, but I wonder if these mission monsters drop equipment or anything like that?"

Li Ran walked curiously toward Wang Gan.

Killing this monster did not result in a direct drop of good items like the Life Drop he had received from the Mantis Monster.

He chose to rummage through the mangled corpse.

Killing people and looting their goods—that was the logic of it.

Soon, he felt a spherical object in the pocket of Wang Gan's jacket, and his eyes lit up instantly; there really was something good.

But when he held the object in his hand, his brows furrowed slightly.

"What on earth is this?"

"Squeak?"
