Chapter 565: Chapter 565: Unable to Withstand

As soon as the assassin’s words fell, Song Jian received a system prompt:

System: Gold Assassin William of Death’s Scythe is offering you a loyalty mission: Hand over the Goblet of Life to William, and he’ll give up pursuing you and help you fend off the Half-Dragon pursuit. Afterward, you will become an affiliate member of Death’s Scythe: Do you accept?

System: Warning, this mission will have a significant impact on your game progress. Please make a careful decision!

Song Jian didn’t even look at it and directly chose to refuse!

As for the Goblet of Life, Song Jian would not hand it over to anyone other than Anna. Moreover, the organization of Death’s Scythe was clearly not suitable for Song Jian, as the power of death wasn’t something ordinary people could touch;

“In that case, I’ll just search for it on your corpse.” A ruthless look emerged in William’s eyes. Just as he was about to make another move, he suddenly heard the roar of beasts in the distance and saw a group of Half-Dragon pursuers appear not far away, while he was in mid-air.

“It seems that the pursuers behind you have arrived. Maybe I’ll let you fight it out before making another move.” A malicious smile appeared on William’s face, and his figure floating in the air gradually disappeared like mist.

Song Jian’s face was extremely gloomy. He was already having a hard time dealing with the pursuers behind him and having an assassin hidden in the dark as well, Song Jian did not doubt that the moment he reveals any flaw, William will absolutely appear first and stab him in the heart.

With a thought, thirty majestic blood wolves appeared beside Song Jian. Escaping now was pointless; he was less than two hours away from the twelve-hour protection time. The City of Sin was less than twenty kilometers away from his current location. If he let the Half-Dragon pursuers chase him all the way to the City of Sin, it would be too humiliating.

“Let’s decide the battle here and now!” Song Jian decided.

Soon, dozens of Half-Dragon pursuers riding battle bears appeared in Song Jian’s sight. Having chased for more than ten hours, most of the Half-Dragon pursuers were already exhausted. Moreover, their mount battle bears had also lost their combat abilities due to the long-distance galloping. Once they stopped, most battle bears collapsed on the ground and refused to move.

Seeing Song Jian standing still, the Half-Dragon pursuers’ eyes erupted in excitement, and they all screamed in excitement. They clenched their long spears and rushed towards Song Jian;

The Half-Dragon Leader riding a Velociraptor gestured a throat-slitting action at Song Jian, dismounted from the Velociraptor, and gave Song Jian a vicious smile, shouting, “Lowly thief, you can’t escape! The eyes of the Giant Dragon will always lock onto you!”

Song Jian waved his hand, and the thirty blood wolves let out a howl together and then quickly charged towards the Half-Dragon pursuers;

The number of Half-Dragon pursuers was almost three times that of the blood wolves, but the blood wolves showed no fear and rushed towards the Half-Dragon pursuers frantically;

The Half-Dragon Leader grabbed a blood wolf that pounced towards its throat, and looked at the blood wolf in his hand, struggling madly and trying to bite him. The Half-Dragon Leader squinted his eyes and directly tore the level 30 blood wolf’s body in half with his hands.

“Do you think, that with this trash, you can resist us? That’s too naive!” The Half-Dragon Leader roared, not realizing that the blood wolf he tore in half did not leave a corpse but turned into a pool of blood and merged into the ground.

“Powerful strength, a first-order Combat Power Elite!” William, hiding in the dark, saw the Half-Dragon Leader tearing a Level 30 Blood Wolf in half and his eyes brightened, a look of appreciation appearing on his face.

A glimmer of schadenfreude flashed in William’s eyes. As a first-order Combat Power Assassin himself, he knew what this kind of power represented. In his opinion, Song Jian was as good as dead this time.

As far as William was concerned, as long as Song Jian died, the mission would be considered complete. He didn’t care whether Song Jian died by his hand or not. When he fought with Song Jian earlier, he discovered that Song Jian’s strength was not weak, and even if he could kill Song Jian, he might also suffer some injuries. But now, being able to make Song Jian fight the Half-Dragon pursuers to the point of exhaustion was the outcome William most looked forward to;

If any accidents happen in the end, William would naturally be able to kill Song Jian with little effort;

William’s lips curled up in a smile; the battle in front of them continued, with the Half-Dragon Leader’s figure suddenly becoming faint, and Song Jian leaving where he originally stood;

After testing the strength of the blood wolves, the Half-Dragon Leader directly targeted Song Jian;

In its view, the strength of the blood wolves was about the same as the Half-Dragon pursuers, but the number of Half-Dragon pursuers it brought was three times that of the blood wolves. It was only a matter of time before they wiped out the blood wolves;

Their ultimate target had always been Song Jian. Only by capturing or killing Song Jian and bringing him or his body to their master, the Shadow Giant Dragon Blade Spear, would their mission be considered complete.

Song Jian’s and the Half-Dragon Leader’s bodies continually collided in the wilderness, and every impact caused thunderous roars. A faint golden light appeared around Song Jian’s body, and eight illusory long swords circled around him.

At this time, he had already activated the Immortal Sword Body, and only Song Jian, with the Immortal Sword Body activated, was qualified to fight against the Half-Dragon Leader with first-order Combat Power. Otherwise, the only thing awaiting him would be the Half-Dragon Leader’s merciless crushing.

Their weapons in hand constantly collided, and strong auras destroyed everything within several meters. The rocks, several meters high and hardened over time, were turned into powder in an instant due to the energy stirred up by the two of them in the battle.

These two seemed to have transformed into ancient behemoths, recklessly unleashing the endless violent energy in their bodies;

The Half-Dragon Leader stabbed its claw-like fist towards Song Jian’s brow, but Song Jian’s expression remained unchanged. He raised the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword in his hand, and collided fiercely with the Half-Dragon Leader’s fist;

Bang!

It was as if a bomb exploded, sending a hum through the air. Countless fragments flew all around like bullets from a machine gun, causing dust to rise and forming a gray fog in the air.

From the fog, two figures flew out in opposite directions;

Boom, boom!

Like cannonballs, the two crashed into massive rocks;

“I didn’t expect you to have such formidable strength! No wonder you could steal that treasure from our master’s Treasure Vault!” The Half-Dragon Leader looked at Song Jian with a cautious look on his face.

Song Jian waved his tingling right hand, his face extremely gloomy;

Only he himself knew that his current state could not last too long. The seventh-level Primordial Chaos Indestructible Sword Body could only last for 150 seconds, and there wasn’t much time left for him now.
