This was Su Chen’s final charge of the “Seeking Plums in the Midst of Snow” skill for that day.
He turned into a blur and quickly vanished from where he once stood.
At this moment, within the center of Bianshan Mountain, a fierce battle was entering its final phase. After the intense round of fighting earlier, the originally overwhelming number of Mountain Bandits had been reduced to no more than 60 people.
On the other hand, the troops that Wu Lie had led were left with around 40 people.
The reason why the Mountain Bandits had their numbers wiped out this quickly was due to Su Chen configuring his Fireballs to target an area instead of a single individual. As a result, any Mountain Bandits who were caught in the area had received splash damage, resulting in them either dying outright or having their health significantly reduced.
It was for this reason that Wu Lie and his troops had not been overwhelmed by the bandits.
However, things were starting to get dicey once again as most of the remaining bandits were relatively high-leveled compared to Wu Lie’s troops. Most of them were around the range of level 11 to 13.
The Shield Warriors on Wu Lie’s side were all level 10. The only reason that they were managing to hold on was due to their bulky HP pool.
As he utilized his final charge of the “Seeking Plums in the Midst of Snow” ability to dodge XIao Feng’s strikes, he also made sure to assist Wu Lie however he could whilst he tried to figure out the Mountain Bandits’ line of thought.
After all, Xiao Feng’s Attack power was sky high while he was in his Berserk state. It would be best to defeat Xiao Feng’s subordinates and have Su Chen’s own allies back him up once they no longer had their hands full.
Boom!
763!
The four level 12 Mountain Bandits surrounding Wu Lie were instantly vaporized. The mountain bandits had low defense, and as such, the Melt-enhanced Fireball was capable of dealing its full damage!
“Hurry up and wipe out the other bandits. I need the Heavy Shield Warriors to form up around me!”
Su Chen did not stop running as he issued his commands. Moreover, he had also used his [ Gourd Arts ] to recover the troops’ HP while he was on the run.
“Loser, don’t you dare run!”
Although Xiao Feng’s Attack power had received a massive boost, the same could not be said about his Agility. He needed to give it his all just to match Su Chen’s pace.
Realizing this, Su Chen lowered his guard and started to survey the battlefield.
He ran circles around the battlefield, constantly firing his combat skills at his enemies and using his healing arts on the NPCs from his side.
The reason Su Chen could afford to do so was due to Xiao Feng’s lowered intelligence.
After all, Su Chen’s goal was very obvious. He wanted to get rid of the other bandits nd have his allies to chip away at Xiao Feng’s HP.
Had Xiao Feng been his former self, he would have realized this at a glance, and he would have done the same to Su Chen’s allies as well.
However, Xiao Feng had become a berserker who was devoid of all reason. His mind was in a daze, and he was incapable of understanding his enemies’ actions.
As for Su Chen, whose Agility was slightly higher than Xiao Feng’s, he was able to maintain the distance between himself and Xiao Feng quite comfortably. As such, he was able to have free rein over the battlefield.
Every place he passed by would leave behind a trail of dazzling fireworks!
…
“Three more to go!”
“SHIELDS UP!”
Wu Lie and Su Chen’s voices could be heard.
At long last, the Mountain Bandits of Bianshan Mountain had been completely wiped out. They had all turned into white orbs of light and dispersed, dropping countless materials and even some white rank pieces of equipment in the process.
While Su Chen was helping them to take down their opponents, he also made sure to hand the 12 remaining Heavy Shield Warriors some HP potions so that they could recover.
With that, they should hopefully survive more than a single hit from Xiao Feng!
Apart from that, there were also 7 level 12 [ Swordsman ] left.
“Wu Lie, fall back for now. I’ll call for you once we start identifying the women!”
Su Chen shouted at Wu Lie who was sent flying backward.
While they were lining up their formation, Wu Lie recklessly rushed ahead to go against Xiao Feng. Since they were both melee combatants, they each took a direct hit. However, the main difference was that Wu Lie had been sent flying. He had even lost more than half of his health in the process!
Wu Lie had no other choice but to stay back upon hearing that command. After all, the purpose of raiding the Mountain Bandits was to save the kidnapped women of Fengwu Town. There was no point in dying here, especially since he wanted to meet his sister.
“Die!”
“Die!”
After sending Wu Lie flying, the furious Xiao Feng quickly rushed to the Shield Warriors who had formed the [ Mountain Fortress ] formation.
He was just about to swing down his spear when suddenly, an intense blue flame struck his body, forcefully stopping him in his tracks.
753!
21!
16!
17!
100!
Damage numbers continuously popped up!
Su Chen, who was protected by three layers of defense, began to bombard Xiao Feng with his attacks!
[ Fireball ] Cooldown + cast time : 2.3 seconds.
[ Lifesteal ] Cooldown: 2 seconds!
In addition to [ Gourd Arts ] , which had half the efficacy per point of MP used…
Su Chen began to use his skills indiscriminately!
This was the first time that he had ever casted spells non-stop, without any downtime whatsoever!
On the other hand, Su Chen’s MP was being depleted at a never before seen rate as well!
On the bright side, however, Xiao Feng’s HP was depleting at a similarly rapid rate!
He was down to his final 2,000 HP!
“AAAAAAAGGGGGHHHH!”
The armor on Xiao Feng’s body began to shatter, dropping his defenses drastically, and causing the damage from Su Chen’s Fireballs to hit even harder.
However, Xiao Feng did not stop. He was not standing idly by while Su Chen attacked him. He had already cut down the Shield Warriors that were at the forefront, and he was already making his way to the second line of defense!
With a powerful thrust of his [ Retractable Spear ], Xiao Feng penetrated a Warrior of the second layer, turning him into an orb of light!
769!
100!
36!
42!
39!
Su Chen’s continued his skill rotations of Fireball and Lifesteal. However, Xiao Feng was also continuing to cut down the Warriors. With a powerful swing of his spear, he had managed to pummel away the Warriors in the second line of defense!
Upon reaching 1,000 HP, Xiao Feng finally regained his senses, and he was finally at the third layer of defense!
[ Burst Strike ] !
[ Retractable Spear ] !
Xiao Feng used both of his skills consecutively in a polished manner!
429!
431!
The moves had somehow ignored the [ Mountain Fortress ] skill, and they had dealt their full amount of damage!
Nevertheless, Xiao Feng still did not make it past the third layer of defense.
At the same time, Xiao Feng’s armor had completely melted away, and all that was left was his plain clothes.
A brilliant arc of flame followed, piercing through Xiao Feng’s chest!
The level 20 Mountain Bandit Leader who had 10,000 HP and had terrorized several nearby towns had finally died at the hands of the level 12 Su Chen!
“He’s dead!”
“He’s finally f*cking dead!”
Wu Lie roared upon noticing that Xiao Feng’s HP bar had been depleted.
At this moment, Xiao Feng, who had just been hit by the fireball, was trembling in fear. No amount of medical arts would be able to save him now. The crimson glow of his eyes slowly faded, and the savage expression on his face gradually turned into that of despair.
In the next moment, Xiao Feng turned into a white light. After dropping several items, he then vanished into the dark of the night.

Bianshan Mountain.
The long night had passed, and dawn had finally arrived.
At long last, Su Chen, Wu Lie, and their remaining 3 level 10 Warriors and level 12 Swordsman had finally taken down the level 20 Bandit Leader!
Then, without even needing Su Chen’s reminder, Wu Lie immediately led his troops to locate where the townspeople had been imprisoned at.
Meanwhile, Su Chen approached the spot of Xiao Feng’s death and began inspecting the items that he had dropped..
