Versatile Sword Cultivator

Chapter 35 – Terrifying

"That's impossible... How can this kid deal so much damage?"

"He didn't even use any skills. I don't believe it. Is he cheating?"

"Does this game even have cheats? Don't try to fool me, I didn't read much."

"Could he be at the Foundation Establishment Realm? No, that's not right. He's only at the middle stage of Qi Refining. How can he deal such high damage?"

The group exchanged bewildered glances.

Players could choose whether to make their attribute panels public. If you chose to hide them, other players couldn't see your attributes, only your realm.

Lin Jichen couldn't be bothered with their nonsense. Killing one was killing, killing a group was still killing.

The falcon attacked him again, but this time Lin Jichen didn't bother dodging. He took the hit and charged at the remaining players. In just a few breaths, he effortlessly cut them down like slicing through vegetables.

Then he turned back to deal with the Medicine Spirit Falcon.

Li Fengwen, who was watching Su Wanling and the others struggle, took a moment to glance over.

He thought the kid who stole the BOSS should be dead by now.

But when he looked closely, he saw Lin Jichen still fighting the falcon, with no sign of his subordinates.

All that was left were a few Soul Burial Mounds next to Lin Jichen.

"What the hell is going on? I told you to kill that kid who stole the BOSS. Are you deaf?"

Li Fengwen thought his men hadn't gone over, not believing that the Soul Burial Mounds were his own brothers.

"Hey, that's strange. I remember Feng Shang and the others went over. I even sent Lei Bao and his group with them," said a Blood Fiend member, looking around but finding no one.

He had to ask in the team channel, "Feng Shang, where the hell are you? The boss is pissed, stop slacking and get over here!"

In the team channel, a player named Feng Shang replied with a crying face.

"Brother Xiaoyan, I'm already dead. I'm at my sect's resurrection point."

"What? How did you die?"

"That kid killed me. He killed all of us..."

"I..." Kuang Xiaoyan was speechless and quickly started cursing.

"You useless idiots! Five of you got killed by one person? How did I end up with such trash teammates!"

Feng Shang complained, "Brother Xiaoyan, it's not that we're useless. That kid is too weird. His damage is terrifying. None of us could withstand two of his sword strikes."

"You're just making excuses. How could it be that ridiculous? The game has only been in open beta for a few days. Could there already be an Immortalization Realm expert? Damn it!"

Kuang Xiaoyan cursed, not believing Feng Shang's words.

Guild leader Li Fengwen, however, was suspicious. He saw Lin Jichen fighting the falcon alone.

If this kid were just an average player, the falcon would have killed him instantly. But the distance was too far, and he couldn't see what was happening.

"Xiaoyan, take some men over there. These women can't cause much trouble anyway," Li Fengwen ordered.

"Got it, boss. I'll handle both the player and the BOSS."

Kuang Xiaoyan confidently agreed. As the strongest expert in the Blood Fiend Guild, already at the middle stage of Qi Refining, he had every reason to be confident.

Kuang Xiaoyan led a few subordinates to find Lin Jichen.

By now, Lin Jichen had beaten the falcon down to less than two thousand health. He was about to finish it off when he heard footsteps behind him, growing increasingly impatient.

"Are you guys done yet? Do you really want to die?"

As Lin Jichen turned to speak, the falcon, enraged, screeched and spat out a ball of green flame!

Soul-Scorching Green Flame!

Lin Jichen, distracted, didn't dodge in time and was hit by the flame.

"-111!"

"-111!"

"-111!"

...

The burning damage kept ticking away.

Lin Jichen was annoyed. If it weren't for these people interrupting him, he wouldn't have been hit by this skill.

But he couldn't let the falcon continue attacking him, especially with its health so low. He feared someone might steal the kill.

Ignoring Kuang Xiaoyan and his men for now, Lin Jichen refocused on the falcon.

He aimed his Crimson Cloud Sword at the falcon's heart, a weak spot, and struck three times in quick succession!

"Critical Hit! -570!"

"Critical Hit! -570!"

After two strikes, Lin Jichen's Frost Moon Slash cooldown was up. He unleashed a dazzling Frost Moon Sword Qi for the final blow!

It also triggered the Crimson Cloud Sword's third extra damage.

"-1260! Instant Kill!"

The falcon let out a final wail and collapsed.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the first kill of a Qi Refining Realm BOSS in "Tale of Immortal." Global announcement imminent. Would you like to hide your name?]

"Don't hide it."

As soon as Lin Jichen made his choice, the game announcement went out.

"Congratulations to player Lin Jichen for completing the first kill of a Qi Refining Realm BOSS in 'Tale of Immortal.' Reward: +400 reputation, +2 innate charm, +1 achievement medal. Wishing all players success in their martial pursuits."

With the announcement, Lin Jichen's name once again became the focus of discussion among "Tale of Immortal" players.

Kuang Xiaoyan and his subordinates were dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning, losing their ability to think.

Watching the scene unfold before him, Kuang Xiaoyan rubbed his eyes.

He wondered if his usual 'activities' had left him so weak that he was hallucinating.

But the falcon's corpse on the ground and the game announcement in his ears confirmed it was real.

Equally shocked was Liu Xiazi, who had sneaked nearby.

Liu Xiazi stood with her mouth agape, staring blankly. Her usually lively livestream chat was now silent.

Everyone was still in shock.

"Guys... did you see that clearly? What just happened... Am I seeing things? Oh no, you guys always call me 'Blind Xiazi,' and now I've really gone blind, boohoo..."

Liu Xiazi's voice broke the silence in the livestream, and viewers snapped out of their shock, flooding the chat with comments.

"Oh my god! Is this guy even human? Could he be an NPC at the Foundation Establishment Realm?"

"Didn't you see the announcement? His name is Lin Jichen. He got the first kill on the novice village BOSS too."

"There's definitely cheats! This game has cheats, guys!"

"This is ridiculous. I saw it clearly. Three strikes did nearly two thousand damage? I'm only at a thousand vitality at the initial stage of Qi Refining."

"I thought those Blood Fiend Guild members got killed because they were already low on health from fighting the Moon Shadow Guild. That's why they died so easily."

"I just want to say, this is terrifying!"

"Super expert! My idol!"

"Are Sword Cultivators really this strong? Can I switch from Blade Cultivation? Suddenly, my blade feels like it's only good for cutting tofu (Ｔ▽Ｔ)..."

...

"Cultivation +300!"

After killing the falcon, Lin Jichen gained three hundred cultivation points.

The falcon's corpse turned into a Soul Burial Mound, and Lin Jichen quickly collected the loot without even looking at it.

Seeing Lin Jichen take the BOSS equipment, Kuang Xiaoyan shouted, "Hand over the loot!"

Lin Jichen sneered, "I haven't even settled the score with you guys yet, and you dare covet my spoils?"

Kuang Xiaoyan's heart skipped a beat!

····

Guys, your enthusiasm has scared Qingjiu. I promised three chapters a day.

You break my goals in minutes, forcing me to add more chapters daily. I regret setting that flag (bitter smile).
