Chapter 25 - Battling Black Wind Fortress

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The so-called martial arts practitioners would have an intensified desire for battle as they dealt with stronger enemies. They took hold of the subtle opportunities and moved quickly and decisively. In the blink of an eye, they attacked.

Lu Xuan tightened his grip on the Heavenly Eagle Dagger and quickly deflected the darts. When the bandit paused for a moment, Lu Xuan suddenly rushed forward and approached him.

The Heavenly Eagle Dagger in his hand might be a silver-grade weapon, but it still had a short attack range due to its short size. If he did not seize the opportunity to approach the bandit, there would be no room for him to fight the larger saber head on.

No matter what, Lu Xuan had just started practicing martial arts. He could not control his overwhelming inner strength flawlessly, therefore, a slight move from him might just kill the enemy.

Bang!

The armored bandit used his giant saber to block Lu Xuan’s lightning-fast and closed range attack.

As expected, it was a hidden instance dungeon with a difficulty level of seven stars. The ability of the bandit in the first round could not be underestimated. He had a solid martial arts foundation, and his attacks were not disorderly. It was not something that the Level 5 bandits on the outside world could compare to.

If it was an ordinary sub-perfection Apprentice Martial Artist, they would probably have a hard time trying to deal with this bandit.

However, could the current Lu Xuan be considered an ordinary sub-perfection Apprentice Martial Artist? His four basic attributes were as high as 400 points. Not long ago, he had comprehended the [Great Devour Heart Sutra]. His inner strength was overwhelming and his strength was shocking!

Lu Xuan was intercepted for the first move, but he did not lose his momentum from that. He stopped in his tracks and turned around to avoid the attack area of the three-feet long saber in the bandit’s hand. He turned the sharp and cold Heavenly Eagle Dagger in his hand and stabbed it into the bandit’s heart. Immediately after, he slid the dagger down to produce a narrow, long, and stunning wound!

“Ahhh!!!”

The bandit cried out miserably and looked at Lu Xuan in shock. In the blink of an eye, he was killed by Lu Xuan’s Heavenly Eagle Dagger.

In the first round, the armored bandit was KO-ed!

Lu Xuan frowned. He felt that his fight against the armored bandit was still lacking. If he did not have the [Destined One’s Friendship] buff on him, he would not have been able to dodge the giant saber when he narrowly avoided the attack! He would definitely be killed now!

In this first round, Lu Xuan had a deep understanding of the Heavenly Eagle Dagger’s shortcomings. Normally, Lu Xuan had overwhelming strength as compared to his enemies. He was adept at using his own combat strength to suppress his opponent and kill them directly.

However, the Heavenly Eagle Dagger was basically an assassination weapon, and it was not compatible with Lu Xuan’s attack style. It might be easy to kill ordinary players in the early stages. If he were to encounter a high-level player who was on par with him, he would probably lose his advantage in terms of weapons.

Lu Xuan sighed silently and had kept this worry in his mind for now. He would deal with it later. He browsed through his basic information and saw that the EXP of his three high-level arts had increased by 1%. This was really unexpected.

The EXP gained from killing an armored bandit was simply superior to the elimination of more than a hundred Level 5 bandits. One could imagine that the EXP gained from killing an armored bandit was immeasurable!

Just as he had expected, the two sisters behind Lu Xuan shouted in shock and excitement.

“Sister Clear Dance, there seems to be something wrong with my eyes. I just saw my proficiency level increase by 8%!”

Fu’er was so shocked that her pupils dilated. She spoke with an excited expression and felt as if everything was a dream.

“…”

“The EXP of my three fundamental arts have also increased significantly, so the 10,000 gold coins we spent were truly worth the price…”

Even the cold goddess Clear Dance Soaring couldn’t help but open her mouth with shock. She really didn’t expect that the EXP gained from Lu Xuan killing the armored bandit in such a short period of time would surpass her hard work of farming monsters for more than ten hours.

“Big Boss Lu Xuan, you’re the best!” Fu’er was overjoyed. She looked at Lu Xuan with admiration and was already Lu Xuan’s fan.

Not only Fu’er, even Clear Dance Soaring looked at Lu Xuan with admiration. She silently lamented as it seemed that the no.1 god in China wasn’t just a pretty face.

When Lu Xuan heard the duo’s conversation, he instantly knew that the EXP gained in the hidden instance dungeon would be evenly distributed to his teammates. Therefore, even if the EXP obtained by the sisters could not be compared to the 50x EXP obtained by Lu Xuan, it was still very sufficient.

The horn of war sounded and echoed in the quiet darkness, while the sound tugged at the heartstrings of people. Lu Xuan knew very well that after killing the armored bandit, the location of their party had long been exposed. Now, these bandits were gathering their men as they planned to surround and kill them.

Under such circumstances, it was better to make a move first.

Now that his location had been exposed, they would be doomed if they stayed here and waited for them. Lu Xuan thought about this as he acted quickly and decisively. He held the dagger in his hand and charged towards the Black Wind Fortress.

No matter what, even though the [Black Wind Fortress’ Conspiracy] was a hidden instance dungeon that had seven-stars difficulty, it was still corresponding to Apprentice Martial Artist players. Therefore, no matter how difficult it was, there was still a chance to clear the instance dungeon.

How could Photon Mind Fuxi allow Lu Xuan to hit a wall here? Lu Xuan was the no.1 god of China, he possessed 400 points in all four basic attributes, his arts were all at high-level, he comprehended the [Great Devour Heart Sutra] and he was also equipped with the silver-grade weapon.

He broke through the gate of Black Wind Fortress by himself and rushed in with his dagger. There were not many bandits here, less than 30 of them. Even if they were extraordinary, they were still inferior to the armored bandit earlier.

Therefore, even if Lu Xuan couldn’t deal with them calmly, he could easily deal with these bandits with his ability. Over thirty bandits were instantly wiped out by Lu Xuan’s dagger.

The bandits had rushed over to surround Lu Xuan and attacked with over ten waves, but they had been wiped out by Lu Xuan alone.

Dozens of bandits from Black Wind Fortress rushed over. They noticed the party that was clearing this checkpoint, they realized that only Lu Xuan was dealing the damage. It was shocking, dangerous, and exciting to watch the scene where one individual was fighting against multiple.

In such a dangerous situation, Clear Dance Soaring and Fu’er, who were behind Lu Xuan, were frowning and shouting at the same time. The two of them stared at Lu Xuan with their mouths agape, feeling as if their feelings were on a roller coaster.

The two beautiful sisters with well-proportioned figures, allowed the overwhelmingly powerful Lu Xuan to kill in a straightforward manner. With elegance and style, Lu Xuan slaughtered the bandits of Black Wind Fortress in one go.

After a short while, Lu Xuan led the two sisters and rushed into the cell that was locked up by the village chief’s daughter.

“Fu’er, do you think the village chief’s daughter is ugly or pretty when compared to you?” Lu Xuan stopped in his tracks and stood at the entrance of the cell, casually teasing her.

During the instance dungeon, Lu Xuan’s relationship with them gradually improved. They were basically friends that could be teased one another.

“Why, why? Boss Lu Xuan, why are you asking this? From your tone, it seems like you are still single right?”
