Liu Xuan truly lived up to being a Tier Four Soldier King, swiftly dodging Jiang Kai's throwing darts.
While dodging, Liu Xuan quickly closed in on Jiang Kai through several rapid direction changes.
When Liu Xuan was about three meters away from Jiang Kai, he thrust his spear forward, his whole body following along the line of the spear.
"Capture the king to catch the thief!"
The opponent's strike speed exceeded Jiang Kai's expectations. Jiang Kai immediately activated Deception Mode, and with the help of the passive "Blind the Heavens and Cross the Sea," barely managed to dodge Liu Xuan's thrust.
After pulling away again, Jiang Kai couldn't help but feel surprised.
Liu Xuan's agility was unusually sharp, and his attacks were fierce.
After Jiang Kai reached max level at Tier Two, his agility reached 660 points. Adding in a 40% boost from talents, a 60% boost from two main god cards, and equipment enhancements, he could reach around 1350 points.
Normally, even agility-focused professions at max Tier Two, considering talent bonuses, would only have around 350 to 400 points.
But Liu Xuan's agility was not lower than Jiang Kai's.
When advancing from Tier Two to Tier Three, base stats increased by 100%. From Tier Three to Tier Four, base stats increased by 150%. If Liu Xuan had 200 agility points at max Tier Two, then at Tier Four Level 10, with equipment, his agility could easily exceed 1300.
Not to mention, 200 agility at max Tier Two could only be considered slightly above average, yet Liu Xuan seemed outstanding in both strength and agility.
"This is the suppression from class advancement levels," Jiang Kai said in a low voice.
Jiang Kai took the opportunity to glance at his watch.
[Class: ?]
[Dangerous.]
Mm, this data was normal for a Fearless.
After missing with one move, Liu Xuan planted the spear tip into the ground, and using his excellent arm and core strength, flipped in the air and launched himself at Jiang Kai again.
"Taking the head of a general amidst ten thousand troops! Jiang Kai, let me show you what a real Soldier King is!"
The spear tip grazed past Jiang Kai's left cheek. Jiang Kai dodged once more, trying to widen the distance.
Unfortunately, Liu Xuan simply didn't give Jiang Kai the chance to pull away. His attacks came in wave after wave, moves continuous and uninterrupted, executed decisively and swiftly, keeping close on Jiang Kai.
Hu Yan watched the battle anxiously from the side, "That guy's afraid of Captain Kai's darts too, so he's tightly sticking to him, not giving him a chance to strike."
Just then, beside Jiang Kai, a mass of black mist suddenly flared up.
The moment he saw the black mist, Hu Yan immediately recognized it.
Captain Kai was about to activate the God of Hell's Decree.
Normally, as long as Captain Kai used the God of Hell's Decree, it basically meant the battle was already over.
However, this time, before Jiang Kai could make a move, Liu Xuan's spear suddenly erupted with flames.
"Military Command as Firm as Mountains!"
In an instant, Jiang Kai felt a massive force pressing down from above his head.
To be precise, it was an overwhelming pressure coming from the air itself! It nearly suffocated him, made his legs tremble, and he almost collapsed to his knees.
At the same time, a kind of emotion continuously disturbed Jiang Kai's mind.
'Submit, submit…'
His body and mind were under dual pressure, and for a moment, Jiang Kai couldn't activate the God of Hell's Decree.
In that moment of hesitation, Liu Xuan thrust his spear toward Jiang Kai's heart.
"Captain Kai!", Hu Yan shouted angrily. He wanted to cast Wind Whisper Incantation to save Jiang Kai, but unfortunately, he could no longer activate Wind and Thunder spells.
"Jiang Kai, die for me!", Liu Xuan roared, "Capture the king to catch the thief!"
"Divine Might Jewel!", Jiang Kai summoned all his strength to activate his treasure.
The Ring of Divine Might instantly latched onto Liu Xuan and began rapidly contracting.
As the ring contracted, it tightly bound Liu Xuan's arm, causing his spear tip to deflect at the moment of thrust. Originally aiming to kill Jiang Kai with one blow, he ended up stabbing Jiang Kai's right arm instead.
Although the Ring of Divine Might temporarily restrained Liu Xuan, Jiang Kai himself was also unable to break free from the suppression of Military Command as Firm as Mountains, and was being crushed by the invisible pressure to the point of suffocation.
"Only you have a treasure?", Liu Xuan growled, suddenly pulling out a black jade pendant from his hand, which instantly burst with violent energy, "Divine Weapon Jewel, Protection!"
The energy released from the black jade pendant directly transferred to Liu Xuan.
A surge of black aura erupted all over Liu Xuan's body, forcefully resisting the Ring of Divine Might, and steadily pushing it apart.
Although the Divine Might Jewel was a top-grade treasure without a level requirement and of high quality, its current level wasn't high, as Jiang Kai had yet to find the Tear of the Gods to upgrade it.
Liu Xuan's Divine Weapon Jewel was likely a Tier Four treasure, and coupled with Liu Xuan's strength attribute being far superior to Jiang Kai's, under the impact of a Tier Four treasure, the Ring of Divine Might collapsed and dissipated shortly after resisting for a moment.
"This is the strength of a Fourth Tier War King, the gap between you and me is as vast as heaven and earth!" Liu Xuan sneered, grasped his spear again, and stabbed toward Jiang Kai.
This spear directly pierced through Jiang Kai's heart.
Seeing this scene, Hu Yan's heart had already jumped to his throat.
But just at that moment, a figure emerged from behind Liu Xuan.
"It's a substitute," Hu Yan shouted with joy.
Captain Kai used the brief binding of the Divine Might Ring just now to activate Deception Substitute and had already escaped.
However, counting this time, all three puppet substitutes of Jiang Kai had already been used up.
"God of Hell's Decree! Wrath of the God of Killing!", Jiang Kai directly threw out the God of Hell's Decree, shooting toward Liu Xuan's back.
After using Wrath of the God of Killing, Jiang Kai simultaneously recalled his substitute.
However, his arm was crippled, and earlier he had been heavily struck by the Sword Tiger BOSS. At this time, his stamina cap was less than one-fifth of the full state. Even absorbing the energy brought back by the substitute could only reach the current cap.
In his current state, he could probably only use the God of Killing Card one more time.
The God of Hell's Decree struck Liu Xuan's back, but Liu Xuan was clad in Fourth Tier armor, with extremely high defense, so the God of Hell's Decree didn't pierce the armor on the first hit.
Just as the God of Hell's Decree was rotating and drilling into Liu Xuan's armor, the armor suddenly emitted a faint blue ripple, and then the armor automatically detached from Liu Xuan's body.
While the God of Hell's Decree did pierce the armor, it also lost its attack target at the same time.
Not only that, the armor directly entangled the God of Hell's Decree, wrapping it layer by layer and trapping it inside.
Jiang Kai widened his eyes; this armor actually had automatic defense.
"My supreme-grade defensive armor," Liu Xuan roared angrily and turned to stab at Jiang Kai.
"Military Order Like a Mountain…"
If Liu Xuan activated Military Order Like a Mountain again this time, Jiang Kai would almost certainly be dead.
Just as Liu Xuan was about to activate Military Order Like a Mountain, Jiang Kai roared, "I'll fight you to the end!"
Seventeen Chasing Daggers shot toward Liu Xuan.
"Mountain!", Liu Xuan immediately activated Military Order Like a Mountain. Jiang Kai was instantly subjected to double suppression and could barely move.
At the same time, seventeen Chasing Daggers flew toward Liu Xuan.
Liu Xuan shouted in a low voice, "Divine Weapon Treasure Jade, Body Guard!"
BOOM!
A wave of black energy erupted from Liu Xuan's body, directly deflecting most of the throwing knives. He then used his movement technique to dodge three more, stabbing toward Jiang Kai with his spear.
"Let's see if you still have a substitute! Capture the leader to capture the enemy!"
Hu Yan was already so nervous he couldn't breathe.
Just as Liu Xuan's spear was about to pierce through Jiang Kai, among those seventeen throwing knives that had been deflected or dodged, one suddenly shed its Pursuer disguise and transformed into a golden card.
It stopped its momentum and instantly shot toward the back of Liu Xuan's head.
"Light Seal Divine Order!", Hu Yan's eyes widened. Captain Kai had disguised the Light Seal Divine Order as a Pursuer.
Puff! Puff!
Liu Xuan's spear had already pierced into Jiang Kai's chest.
But at the same time, a golden card directly passed through the back of Liu Xuan's head and steadily hovered in front of Jiang Kai.
Liu Xuan had succeeded, but he could no longer push the spear even an inch deeper.
"Impossible… you have two God of Hell's Decrees, that's impossible!", Liu Xuan's eyes widened, staring at the golden card.
The pressure on Jiang Kai also disappeared completely at this moment. He grabbed the spear tip with his left hand, the corners of his mouth tilted downward, and he coldly snorted, "Fourth Tier War King? Nothing more than this!"
Liu Xuan's pupils contracted, but at this moment, his entire body was stiff and unable to move at all.
Suddenly, Liu Xuan's expression became extremely strange, and next, from the bridge of his nose, his head split directly in two, the upper half of his skull falling to the ground.
Hu Yan broke into a cold sweat.
Luckily the Light Seal Divine Order was fast enough, if it had been even half a second slower, Liu Xuan's spear would have definitely pierced through Captain Kai's heart.
The difference between the two might have been just a fraction of a second.
Jiang Kai gripped the spear shaft with his left hand, the corners of his mouth tilted downward, and he forcefully pulled the spear out.
Puff!
Jiang Kai simultaneously spat out a large mouthful of blood.
After killing Liu Xuan, Jiang Kai was already tottering. He looked at Hu Yan and weakly said, "Old Hu, that watch of his… there should be evidence inside."
After speaking, Jiang Kai collapsed to the ground.
