Chapter 81 Sixty seconds

Xie Feng stood in the same place while he watched as the scythes charged with an aura of death approached him.

Even Shui Xiu was surprised for a moment to see Xie Feng not moving, but he simply attributed it to fear.

However-

Miss... Miss... Miss... Miss... Miss..,

Miss... Miss... Miss... Miss... Miss..,

The only thing that floated over Xie Feng's head were ten words in white, indicating that the ten undead scythes had failed.

The only reason Xie Feng did not move is that, even without seeing his status window, after feeling his current body, he was sure that Shui Xiu's attack would not touch him. This is because currently, Xie Feng's Evasion points were well over 1000!

This is the difference between the real world and the virtual world. While Xie Feng's reflexes, reaction speed, and focus were extremely terrifying, the Samsara world was, after all, a world governed by stats.

As it happened on the previous floor, Xie Feng attacked a monster that surpassed him by a wide margin of levels, therefore, his attacks could not hit the target.

Shui Xiu's eyes opened wide and unconsciously his attention was diverted to the green flame that covered the entire body of Xie Feng.

"W-what the hell is that!?". He screamed as he pointed his finger and took a few steps back.

Shui Xiu is a really smart man, as demonstrated only moments before. He even pretended to be crazy and turned into a real monster, used his skills to the fullest extent possible, and in the best possible way, battled against Xie Feng and destroyed the barrier created by the Pearl of Light.

Therefore, he immediately realized that the real reason for what had just happened was that green flame.

But there were more surprises than expected.

Instead of answering his question, Xie Feng took a step forward and vanished. At least, from the perspective of Shui Xiu.

In truth, he didn't vanish, he simply moved at too fast a speed.

The next second, Xie Feng appeared in front of Shui Xiu and raised his sword. Although it was the same sword as before, in the eyes of Shui Xiu, the silver-colored sword had suddenly become much more dangerous and deadly.

Xie Feng wasted no words and slashed downwards.

-400... -397... -399... -400... -399

-398... -398... -400... -398... -397

Just one second!

In just one second, Xie Feng attacked ten times in a row!

Xie Feng's left hand swung the Bloody Sword as if it had become a whirlwind, and the Bloody Sword had become wind blades that cut Shui Xiu's body relentlessly.

Shui Xiu only reacted after 3986 health points were drained from his 200000 bar. His eyes trembled slightly and a panicked look appeared for the first time since the beginning of the battle.

Although 4000 health points out of 200000 is an insignificant amount, those 4000 health points disappeared in just one second! In other words, if that green flame keeps burning for more than 50 seconds... His 200,000 health points would be completely gone!

"W-Wait!". he shouted, panicked.

Xie Feng ignored him and his words completely, without hesitation, he continued to swing his sword like a windstorm.

-397... -397... -399... -400... -398

-398... -396... -400... -400... -400

Miss

-800! (Critical Hit!)... -399... -399... -400... -397

-397... -396... -400... -398... -396

Miss

-400... -397... -399... -400... -399

-398... -398... -400... -398... -397

Ten seconds passed and Shui Xiu's nightmare became a reality. The green flame continued to burn without any intention of extinguishing itself.

During those ten seconds, Shui Xiu received over 40,000 points of damage. In only eleven seconds, almost a quarter of his health bar was gone!

What is even worse and made Shui Xiu even more desperate is that Xie Feng had not even used any magic attacks, only physical attacks!

In those ten seconds, Shui Xiu too had tried to attack repeatedly with all kinds of attacks; undead scythes, bone hands, normal physical attacks, curses, etc. However, no matter how much the attack or the method he used, his attacks never successfully reached their target.

-397... -397... -396... -400... -398

-398... -396... -400... -796! (Critical Hit!)... -400

Although Xie Feng's hand moved at a terrifying speed, his body stayed standing still as he looked directly into his eyes, indifferently.

That cold, indifferent gaze that froze the bones was directly hitting the nerves of Shui Xiu. He even regretted having played with the human in front of him and regretted having hit that annoying brat with his curse.

Unfortunately, in this world there is no medicine for regret and time cannot go back. When a person makes a decision, he/she must face the consequences of his/her own actions.

Perhaps, that is what makes life so interesting but at the same time so stressful.

-400... -397... -399... -400... -399

-398... -398... -400... -398... -397

Seeing that Shui Xiu did not continue to attack and simply stood there with a desperate look on his face, Xie Feng began to speak.

"Actually, I don't know when I was born. I don't know what day is my birthday .... I don't even know what my life was like before I was ten".

Shui Xiu slowly lifted his face and even as his health bar continued to descend at breakneck speed in real time, he had no choice but to listen.

Without worrying about his thoughts, Xie Feng continued:

"Since I did not know my birthday, the orphanage where I was abandoned gave me a day casually. On my twelfth birthday, Xie Yao's family adopted me and my cold world finally received some warmth.

As the years passed, I realized that even a person like me, who believed that parents were not necessary, longed for the warmth of a real family, the hug of a mother, and even the reprimand of a father.

When people care about you, it means they really appreciate you. They care about you because they are afraid something bad will happen to you. But I didn't have any of that... until Xie Yao's family came into my life. Even if they were not my real parents, they treated me like their real son and did not discriminate against me when they saw my old and dirty clothes for the first time.

On my eighteenth birthday, the family I longed for was destroyed and the most important person in my life was almost killed by some bastards. The me of that time had no power, I was just an ordinary young man.

It was when she was on the verge of death that my mind became completely clouded. I just wanted to destroy the whole world, to massacre each and every one of those who caused us so much pain... ".

Xie Feng's attacks stopped and he looked at Shui Xiu's health.

[Shui Xiu]

[Grade: EMPEROR]

[Level: 30]

[HP: 20400/????]

Only 400 health points less and the healing skill of Shui Xiu would be activated with a 70% chance.

There were only approximately 10 seconds left for Xie Feng's newly acquired skill, Green Flame, to be deactivated. The only reason Xie Feng's attacks cause damage is that Xie Feng's Accuracy was close to 2000 points, completely ignoring the level difference. When Green Flame stops burning, his chances of victory would be 0%.

Even so, Xie Feng stopped his attacks and continued talking while looking at Shui Xiu, with the same indifferent eyes as before:

"Then, a green light fell from the heavens and a power that should not belong to a human came to me. Not only could I kill and protect the person I love, that power gave me the ability to take revenge and continue to protect those who are important to me".

Xie Feng closed his eyes, and the faces of certain people appeared in his mind. In the end, even a girl's face showed up... A ten years old girl that he only knew for a little more than a minute.

He opened his eyes again and looked back slightly.

Shui Wuhen had his beautiful eyes closed. Her body was shaking and sweating, showing the pain she was suffering... But she bit her lips hard and didn't complain.

Although Xie Feng knows that she was still alive, according to Shui Xiu, the time she had left to live was only a few minutes.

Xie Feng looked at Shui Xiu again and his indifferent gaze had become deformed again, a look full of hatred and madness shining in his eyes. Even then, he talked in an extremely calm tone:

"From that moment on I swore that I would protect the people I treasure... But you... You took someone from me... Therefore, you must die. You will definitely die".

After saying that, Xie Feng swing his sword for last time.

-400

Now, Shui Xiu's health points were exactly 20,000 and since it was 10%, his undead healing skill was not activated.

Even while he was talking and attacking, Xie Feng was also doing calculations to keep his damage exactly that way. While he was attacking, he also paid attention to which places to attack to cause exactly 400 points of damage.

*Swoosh!*

[Ding... The Green Flame effect time is over. HP and MP -50 points permanently.]

[Ding!... Strength, Intelligence, Vitality, and Agility -1 point permanently.]

[Ding!... You have lost a level...]

[Ding!... You have lost a level...]

[Ding!... You have lost a level...]

[Ding!... Your current level is eleven.]

That's also when the flame that burned over Xie Feng's body went out.

Shui Xiu noticed it too and his eyes that looked like those of someone resigned to his fate lit up again, at the same time, a mocking smile appeared on his face.

Xie Feng continued to look at him in the same way, as if he were already a dead man.
