Chapter 55 – Struggle Between Life and Death

"What?!"

Wang Jian raised his sword and said angrily, "Isn't Xiao Yao Zi Zai a strength type healer? This...how can a healer with .5 growth in strength use a Level 4 [Combo] to oneshot Bai Qi?!"

Li Mu pointed at me with his sword and yelled, "Stop talking and kill him already!"

I got hit by two more arrows in my back and lost 400+ HP. General Lian Po's archery was way too strong. Facing me, Li Mu thrust his sword towards me with exceptional speed! The player ranked just second to Yan Zhao, he was indeed strong!

......

Clang!

I powerfully swung my sword as I stepped backwards into the shallow water with my Silver boots. Li Mu's sword was forcefully knocked away with a clang. The surprise in his eyes became very obvious, he was mistaken to think that a healer's attack damage and strength could be enough to knock him away.

Although I knocked the edge of his sword away, Li Mu reacted quickly. He bent and suddenly leaped forward, and he kicked my chest with his boot!

"171!"

I rolled into the water with a dull feeling in my chest. I clenched my fists and thrust them into the surface of the water. A row of chains broke through the water, encircling Lian Po.

Whoosh!

General Lian Po got bound by the chains for 2.1 seconds. At the same time, Baby Bobo also appeared behind him, buzzing around while a golden hexagram started to appear on his stinger.

"Ah d*mn..."

Lian Po cursed, and fell on the ground, killed within moments.

Bang!

As I was focusing on killing Lian Po, I received yet another blow from behind and multiple pets started chasing me around. Wang Jian came rushing at me with the edge of his sword glowing, indicating a [Combo] cast, and the only thing I could do was keep backing away. While doing that though, I waved my hand, and cast [Heal]!

"+600!"

Li Mu appeared at my side and attacked together with Wang Jian. Although my body was in the game, I flicked my Jade City Sword out of reflex and with a bang, it hit Li Mu's wrist. At the same time I yelled loudly, and the wind concentrated around my blade. With a teal glow lingering on my sword, I quickly slashed towards Wang Jian's shoulders.

"Careful!" Li Mu yelled out.

Wang Jian frowned and backed away quickly and calmly. He saw the wind gather at my blade and backed away immediately. As soon as the strike finished preparing, I slashed at him but only managed to scratch at his shadow; a huge "MISS" popped up. I stared wide-eyed at the empty space where Wang Jian was. Damn, the [Wind Blade] strike missed. What kind of reaction time did Wang Jian have?!

At the same time, Li Mu leaned forward. His shoulder heavily bumped my exposed side. With a bang, I lost balance and entered a state of immobility. I couldn't do anything for 0.5 seconds!

Li Mu steadied himself and leaned down again. A ray of light appeared on his feet and pushed away the water, creating a small whirlpool. It was the beginning of a combo! Damn it, this guy also learned a combo?

"Absolute Authority!"

Li Mu yelled out loud. His body and the sword seemingly combined as he stabbed my chest. After that was a slash, then followed by a stab and then another slash. After 4 continuous strikes, he bellowed and threw his entire body and sword straight at me. With a bang, he flung me into the air, and I lost all control!
