Song Jian struggled to his feet. Caught off guard and hit with a ferocious blow, if not for the wall absorbing most of the damage, this strike, if not fatal, could at least critically wound Song Jian, making him incapable of resistance;

Song Jian coughed relentlessly, the taste of blood filled his mouth, a throbbing pain came from his chest and stomach. Glancing at his vitality points that less than fifty left, Song Jian looked up at Erik, his eyes took on a ferocious lone-wolf look, a flash of blood-red in them;

Earth Teeth Assault!

Song Jian pressed his right hand to the ground again. The tusk-like energy cluster let out a sharp howl and charged at Erik;

At this moment, Erik was in a state of dizziness due to unleashing the “Charge” skill. In a completely defenseless state, he took a heavy blow from Earth Teeth Assault. Despite his strength, he could not help but repeatedly retreat, his back slamming against the damaged wall;

Song Jian gripped the “Tusk Fang Stinger” in his hand and rushed towards Erik;

His eyes exuded a cruel and ruthless light as if looking at a dead man, even Erik felt icy shivers down his spine when he saw those lifeless eyes;

If people familiar with Song Jian saw him now, they wouldn’t associate the man emanating a strong killing intent with Song Jian, even if they look identical;

The Song Jian now and the cosmetic salesman in reality were two completely different people, two different personalities!

Erik wanted to continue with his threats, but seeing the gaze in Song Jian’s eyes, he was rendered speechless. Any additional threats against an opponent like this seemed pointless;

Kill, kill, kill!

“Only one of us can survive today!” Erik realized. Without another word, he drew out a heavy sword and fiercely chopped at Song Jian;

Clang-

The sound of metal colliding rang out, sparks flew, both of them fiercely dug their feet into the ground. Neither was retreating under the impact, the force spread around them. Erik and Song Jian were within inches of each other, Erik’s bloodshot, angry eyes opposite from Song Jian’s cool, icy gaze, causing an involuntary tremor in Erik’s heart;

“Why, he only has a dagger, while 1 have a heavy sword!” Erik howled internally, the pressure from the heavy sword made Erik want to run away;

The sheer power made Erik almost believe he was having a hallucination.

Song Jian let out a low roar, his left hand fiercely pressing against the hilt of the dagger, he exerted all his strength and pushed forward;

Sputter-

Pressing down Erik’s heavy sword, the dagger ruthlessly stabbed into Erik’s shoulder, sinking in to nearly half of the blade;

The intense pain caused Erik’s facial muscles to twist grotesquely, letting out a beastlike roar. A dazzling red light burst forth from his body, as if activating some ability;

Bang-

Just as Erik was about to activate the “Bloodthirsty Berserk” skill, Song Jian suddenly kicked out;

Kick!

This kick landed squarely in Erik’s groin;

Song Jian’s foot even felt two egg-shaped objects burst with an intense pain; Erik’s roar, as though suddenly choked, abruptly ended, the red light on his body slowly faded, his pale face turned red instantly, and his bloodshot eyes became even more blood red;

Song Jian withdrew his dagger spinning three-sixty degrees, quickly moving behind Erik. In the spin, his right hand, like a soaring wing, stretched to the maximum. His body drove his right hand, the dagger drawing an arc, ruthlessly stabbing Erik in the back;

Whoosh-

The dagger easily breached Erik’s defenses, plunging into his flesh until the hilt was no longer visible;

Erik’s body involuntarily flinched, the muscles in his back clamping onto the dagger and like a wounded beast, he grew more frantic;

With a sudden reversal of his heavy sword, he fiercely stabbed backward, through his own body;

Erik’s action was so violent that he even sliced an elongated slash under his own ribs, where blood gushed out. Yet, at this moment, Erik didn’t care about the minor pain. He was intent on using the most brutal method the world knows on Song Jian;

Feeling the muscles in Erik’s back tightening, a sneer appeared in Song Jian’s eyes as he held the dagger in both hands and pulled it out fiercely;

Splat-

Another bloody spurt spewed out from the wound;

Just then, Song Jian suddenly felt a sharp pain in his torso and, looking down, he saw a heavy sword slamming onto him. A shimmer of a green-lit scale armor fleetingly appeared. Despite its rapid decay, the zombie’s superior armor was still having its effect;

A potentially fatal blow caused only tens of damage to Song Jian;

Despite his vitality plummeting to below thirty, Song Jian remained calm;

Changing his grip on the dagger, he fiercely jabbed towards the back of Erik’s neck;

One strike; Erik’s skin defense was breached;

Two strikes; Erik’s muscular defense was torn apart;

Three strikes; Song Jian could feel the tip of his blade colliding intensely with Erik’s vertebrae;

Four strikes, and the dagger was fully embedded: the hilt disappeared into Erik’s flesh, and even the tip peeked out from his throat;

Pulling out the dagger, Song Jian retreated hastily, evading Erik’s “Heavy Chop”!

“Hah hah-” Erik, covered in blood, couldn’t roar due to his injured throat, and his voice was wheezing;

Dragging his heavy sword, Erik moved step by step toward Song Jian. Even if barely alive, Erik was determined to slay Song Jian here;

“He’s only level 5, the injuries he’s suffered are not less than mine. Surely he has fewer vitality points left, I might be able to take him down with my next strike!” Erik’s steps became even more firm.

Watching Erik inching towards him, Song Jian revealed a bloody grin. His mocking smile was unmistakable;

Boom!

A clear syllable was spat out from Song Jian’s blood-filled mouth;

Thud-

There was a muffled noise, and Erik’s body shook violently as green smoke burst from his surface. A damage of 110 points floated above Erik’s head;

Erik’s eyes were filled with disbelief right before his body went limp and fell;

System: You use the weapon’s built-in skill “Poison Nova”, inflicted 110 points of damage on [LV5-101 Gathering Area Militia (Elite) – Vulture – Erik], the target is dead!
