Seeing Wang Qiang rushing towards her with a shield in hand, Li Ke’er was suddenly taken aback and quickly fired her crossbow. Arrows flew out like a line towards Wang Qiang; Clang-

The arrows hit the shield, sparking sparks and humming lightly, the arrows were deflected and scattered away.

Seeing his shield blocking the arrows, Wang Qiang instantly felt full of confidence. He burst into laughter, “Brothers, charge! Her arrows won’t break my shield. Once we get close, just grab her, break her legs, ha-ha!”

“Don’t come closer!” Li Ke’er became frantic and kept backing away, her small face turning scared.

Seeing Wang Qiang getting closer and closer, Li Ke’er gritted her teeth, seemingly focusing all her strength onto her crossbow;

“Burst Arrow!”

With a battle cry, a faint white light emerged from Li Ke’er’s body, rushing toward her arm, which was holding the crossbow, then swiftly converged into the crossbow, forming an energy mass;

Whoosh-

A giant arrow-like energy mass fired out from the crossbow at high speed, leaving a white mark in the air, forcefully colliding with the shield;

Wang Qiang felt as if he was struck by a siege hammer. His arms, which were holding the shield, felt a great force, causing his bones to friction with a “crack” sound. Intense pain set in, causing his hands to shake. He almost dropped the shield. The impact pushed him backwards for several meters before he stabilized.

In a panic, Wang Qiang felt as if he was barely alive. The pain in his arms was slowly subsiding. He began to steady himself and then realized his shield seemed lighter;

A glance at the shield showed a dent the size of a human head at the center. Cracks spread out from the dent. Some cracks even reached the edge of the shield. The durability of the shield plummeted to single digit, flickering red light, on the verge of becoming a total wreck.

“My Shield!” Wang Qiang was heartbroken. This shield was his ultimate card. It was because of this shield that he could gather so many people and reestablish the Green Wolf Gang in the game.

Who knew this young maiden’s hit nearly caused his shield to become scrap! Wang Qiang stared at Li Ke’er, his gaze filled with terror. He started hesitating, uncertain whether to continue the attack or flee.

Just as Wang Qiang was about to flee due to his cowardice, Li Ke’er sat down on the ground, looking completely depleted;

Seeing this, Wang Qiang’s eyes lit up, and he smirked. Shield in hand, he slowly walked towards Li Ke’er;

“Little girl, I bet that skill of yours consumed a lot, didn’t it? 1 dare say you don’t have much Vitality Points left now.” Seeing Li Ke’er’s weakened state, Wang Qiang got excited.

“You, don’t come any closer!” Li Ke’er’s small face was gripped with further panic. Tears welled up in her eyes, ready to burst.

Bang-

A gunshot resounded, and blood spurted from Wang Qiang’s leg. He stumbled and fell;

“Who was that?” Wang Qiang roared, turning towards the direction from where the bullet came, placing the shield firmly in front of him.

“Boss, someone’s on the wall.” A man behind him pointed at the wall of the alley and shouted.

Wang Qiang looked up and saw a man in leather armor standing on the wall of the alley. The man was holding a gun, pointing directly at him.

“You think you’re so tough?” Wang Qiang held his shield up in defense, slowly stood up. His underlings rushed to his side, forming a protective circle around him.

Song Jian just smiled and said, “A group of grown men bullying a little girl. Are you proud?”

“Mind your own business, or it’ll cost you your life! You only have one life in this game.” Wang Qiang sneered.

“Cheap Uncle, no, Little Cheap Brother-” Li Ke’er recognized Song Jian and shouted loudly.

Song Jian cringed at her words, his face turned dark. He thought, what kind of nicknames are Cheap Uncle and Little Cheap Brother!

“Oh, so you two know each other?” Wang Qiang was startled and quickly scanned his surroundings. He saw Song Jian was alone and regained his bravado, “Do you see? We have five people. Are you sure you want to meddle in this matter? We just want her weapon. You can take her.”

“Get lost, if not, don’t blame me for not being nice.” Song Jian waved his hand, speaking impatiently.

“Humph! Guys, get him!” Wang Qiang had a ruthless look in his eyes. He pulled out a flying knife from his inventory and threw it towards Song Jian.

The men behind him, too, gathered around;

Handguns, magic wands, longbows, every one of them had a way to launch distance attacks. They all took aim at Song Jian and swarmed him like wasps.

“Wipe him out-!”

“This is just a game, it’s not illegal to kill him.”

“The leather armor he’s wearing is good, I want it.”

“Let’s all go!”

An onslaught of attacks ensued. Song Jian jumped down from the wall, pressing his right hand on the ground and muttered in a low voice, “Earth Teeth Assault”. A fang-shaped energy orb made a sharp breaking wind noise and zoomed toward Wang Qiang who was standing up front;

Boom-

The energy orb struck Wang Qiang’s iron shield fiercely. As the roar rang out, the shield shattered into pieces. Wang Qiang felt a strong force hitting his chest, propelling him backward and crashing into several people behind him.

Wang Qiang lay on the ground, coughing violently and gasping for air, as a wave of intense pain emanated from his chest;

Song Jian held a dagger and charged toward the others;

He thrust forward, puncturing a man’s palm directly, then, he made a quick twist and struck forward, his elbow hitting straight on the adversary’s cheek;

“Get him!” A man wielded his magic wand, fiercely smashed it toward Song Jian’s shoulder;

Song Jian stepped aside, turned, and drew a double-barreled shotgun, aiming at the man’s chest and pulling the trigger;

Boom-

A critical hit of over sixty damage points rose from above the opponent’s head, instantly causing severe injury and leaving him without capacity to retaliate;

This hit scared the remaining few, they instinctively stepped back. Song Jian stood among them, stepping on Wang Qiang’s head, holding his shotgun as he surveyed his surroundings;

“Those who don’t want to die had better run.” Song Jian said calmly;

Even though it was a game, Song Jian never treated it like one. He didn’t want to kill anyone in the game either; because in his mind, killing in the game was virtually the same as killing in real life. This was something he couldn’t bear;

After a moment of hesitation, Song Jian decided to let these people go;

“You, you release our boss first.” Thin monkey Wang Bin suppressed his fear, shouting loudly.

Song Jian smiled slightly, released his foot from Wang Qiang, stepped back two steps, and waved his gun at Wang Qiang;

Wang Bin immediately stepped forward, helped Wang Qiang up, and slowly backed toward the alley exit;

“The green hills will not change, the green waters will run forever. If you’ve got the guts, leave your name?” Behind Wang Qiang, a man with a scar on his face scowled at Song Jian and yelled.

Wang Qiang frowned, twitched his eyebrows, turned around again, and pressed his right hand to the ground;

“Earth Teeth Assault!”

Again, a fang-shaped energy orb whistled toward that man;

Boom-

The man with a scar on his face was hit by the “Earth Teeth Assault”, his body was thrown high in the air, a jet of blood spurted out from his body, flying backward and hitting hard against an electricity pole. He rebounded and rolled into the street, falling unconscious;

The other few people kept silent, didn’t dare to raise their heads, and fled, carrying the wounded;

Song Jian turned around and walked toward Li Ke’er;
