Nine Star Burden

Chapter 186: Gold Quality First Kill!

“I’m ready!” Xia Yan exclaimed with beautiful eyes full of excitement that she couldn’t contain. She was so agitated that her body began quivering too.

Of course, she was definitely not shivering because of Jiang Xiao’s Blessing, but because she was really overwhelmed by the excitement.

Slaughtered a Gold Quality creature of another dimension!

On top of that, it’s even the Ape Ghoul King whom everyone fears and talks about!

To Xia Yan, it was undoubtedly a type of “coronation”.

Xia Yan even wished she could become a character in a game. If that were the case, she could at least have the label “Ape Ghoul King Terminator” written on her head!

How glorious would it be for her to walk around the streets in the center of Jiangbin City with that title!?!

High profile!

Luxurious!

Shows my noble status!

Unfortunately, there was no such treatment in real life. Shall I make my own sign and wear it on my head?

That seems a little silly and a little ugly, but I can make Jiang Xiao wear it and follow me...

While Xia Yan was thinking, she heard Han Jiangxue commanding sternly, “Attention!”

Xia Yan panicked and snapped out of her trance. She couldn’t help but stick out her tongue.

“Speed, sprint!” Han Jiangxue hollered.

The team was in a 1-1-2 formation. Li Weiyi was the one to take the lead while Xia Yan dragged her giant sword behind him. Han Jiangxue and Jiang Xiao were at the back. The four of them stood neatly and shared a tacit understanding.

“Wow, this guy runs too quickly. Can’t he stay in the same place and dig a few more pits?” Xia Yan gibed.

“Shut up!” Han Jiangxue barked in her icy cold voice, dampening Xia Yan’s excited spirits.

“It seems to have stopped! Pay attention! I saw it...” Li Weiyi exclaimed in terror. He continued, “It seems to have seen us too!”

“It’s okay, all of its Star Power is gone. It’s just a strong Ape Ghoul,” Xia Yan yelled.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The Ape Ghoul King smashed the tree hysterically as if it had infinite energy. Besides, it didn’t seem to be clear-headed either. Its behavior was rather difficult to understand. What did it hit the tree trunk for?

Huh?

Is he planning to use it as a goldenrod?

Mentioning the goldenrod...

The Ape Ghoul King, which seemed to have turned into a lumberjack who turned his fan-like hands into steel axes, slashed the massive tree violently. Although it was facing the team’s direction, it was venting its frustration on the tree.

Godsend opportunity!

The team of four continuously surged forwards. Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue turned to look at each other almost at the same time.

“Move aside, Li Weiyi!” Han Jiangxue turned around all of a sudden and the White Flames Star Map on her body was immediately activated as a silver star slot began to glow.

Clearly, Han Jiangxue was going all out.

Even a fool would know that it was not the time to hide one’s strength now.

Li Weiyi leaped up and dodged to the side.

“Wow!” Xia Yan’s body swiftly accelerated again, and she yelled peculiarly, though it was unclear if she was anxious or excited.

Under the impact of Jiangxue’s Barren Wind, Xia Yan’s body curled up into the shape of a bow!

Her limbs were stretched backward and she was holding the giant sword behind her head. She straightened her back and flew outwards as if an activator was installed in her waist...

Whoosh!

A ray of sacred light suddenly descended, shrouding the Ape Ghoul King accurately.

The Ape Ghoul King suddenly stiffened and screamed again.

With her body still curled up, the violent wind blew up the messy short hair in front of Xia Yan’s forehead, revealing her charming face, as well as the excitement and menace in her dark eyes. She looked absolutely wild.

She was wild, but her sword was wilder!

The giant blade was lifted from behind her, forming a perfect arc. The sharp metal blade was already covered in flames.

She slashed the blazing sword from the back to the front menacingly!

Bang!

At the instant that the blade was unleashed, a flame arc was formed on it and it was covered in Star Power, which made the blade even more destructive.

A deep wound appeared on the wide and thick back of the Ape Ghoul King, and the fiery blade was slashed diagonally against its back from the upper left to the lower right.

Amidst the explosive waves of flames, the Ape Ghoul King’s body was immediately blasted away like a cannonball.

Due to inertia, Xia Yan’s body flipped in the air and at last, she stuck the knife into the ground before arching her legs slightly. She glided on the ground for about five or six meters before regaining her balance.

Jiang Xiao yelled loudly, “What are you posing for!?! Behead it! Are you waiting for it to get up!?!”

In the distance, the large body of the Ape Ghoul King had already been slashed by Xia Yan’s sword and it was slammed heavily against the giant tree, almost breaking it.

A daunting-looking wound could be seen on its wide and thick bleeding back.

The Ape Ghoul King did not break at its waist.

It suffered such a heavy blow, just how strong is its body!?!

The Star Power of the Ape Ghoul King had already been depleted and it couldn’t cover its body in Star Power to defend against the damage at all.

However, its physical strength alone gave Xia Yan a fatal blow...

The Gold Quality creatures of other dimensions were definitely not to be taken lightly.

Any student who possessed the physical strength of the Ape Ghoul King would definitely be able to dominate the competition.

Most importantly, the injured Ape Ghoul King’s body was constantly healing because of the extra nourishment that Jiang Xiao was giving it.

“Continue!” Han Jiangxue yelled loudly. It was not the time to zone out, and she quickly regained her balance before extending her arms outwards.

The Ape Ghoul King, which had been smashed against the tree, suddenly flew back, causing Xia Yan’s body to be blasted away violently.

Xia Yan hurriedly turned around as the wailing of the Ape Ghoul King began to sound like it was getting nearer and nearer. She hurriedly raised her giant sword.

“Aim at the neck! And the head! If you slash it anywhere else, it’ll still be able to heal!” Jiang Xiao exclaimed as he pulled the steel sword out from the sheath on his back before dashing forward without saying anything.

They must seize the opportunity!

Whether they won or lost would be decided immediately. If they couldn’t make it now, they would then face...

*Screech*!

The sound of the blade cutting through the air could be heard, followed by the sounds of the Ape Ghoul being beheaded by Xia Yan’s sharp blade.

The giant sword in Xia Yan’s hand was covered in immense Star Power and it seemed to be extremely sharp, as Jiang Xiao felt as if he had heard the crisp sounds of the space being cut.

The massive Ape Ghoul King lied on the ground while twitching its limbs hysterically. It wanted to roar but to no avail because its throat had already been ripped.

Xia Yan knelt on the ground and swallowed her saliva. Since she was the closest to it, she could see clearly everything that happened.

Indeed, she had aimed to stab the Ape Ghoul King in its throat and she did succeed, but she only managed to cut half of the Ape Ghoul King’s neck despite launching the blow with all her might and using her sharp sword.

The giant sword was stuck in the middle of the Ape Ghoul King’s neck. It didn’t manage to sever its head!

Bang!

The struggling Ape Ghoul King immediately smacked Xia Yan away.

Bang! Bang!

Xia Yan flew out with a “swoosh”, smashing against a tree that wasn’t considered too thick and breaking it. She was intercepted by the second tree and her body became arched as she landed heavily.

The Ape Ghoul King was twitching and flailing its limbs maniacally on the ground with the sword stuck halfway into its neck. The angle made the giant sword seem like a “guillotine”.

Bang!

A figure descended from the sky with a loud noise, and another giant sword was smacked against the “guillotine” horizontally, pressing it down and completely severing the huge head of the Ape Ghoul King...

–

Gold Quality First Kill, Skill Point +1.

–

Carrying the giant sword, Jiang Xiao frantically moved the giant severed head aside.

“Gu-du.”

At a spot that was not too far away,

Li Weiyi held his shield up and kept his eyes fixed on the scene happening in front of him.

He could see the headless corpse of the Ape Ghoul King bleeding continuously, with a neat cut at its neck. However, it was still healing and a thin film of flesh quickly formed.

To what extent is Jiang Xiao healing this Ape Ghoul King?

Even though it’s dead, its body is still healing.

How hysterical did it feel before it died? Humans would have probably broken down, wouldn’t they?

At the thought of this, Li Weiyi subconsciously glanced at Jiang Xiao and shivered.

Jiang Xiao was feeling helpless and at a loss for what to do about Li Weiyi looking at him with such a gaze. Suddenly reminded of something, he frantically waved his hands.

Xia Yan, who was rather far away, was immediately shrouded in the sacred light.

Li Weiyi couldn’t help but shiver again.

Jiang Xiao was speechless.

Are you getting up to classical conditioning?

Am I that terrifying to you?

Jiang Xiao ignored Li Weiyi and hurriedly gave Xia Yan a shot of Bell to help her recover from her injury quickly. The Ape Ghoul King’s hard smack had probably given her significant damage.

Li Weiyi subconsciously shivered again when he saw Jiang Xiao raising his hand.

Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.

This is Bell!

Not Blessing!

What’s wrong with you?

Jiang Xiao said in dejection, “Brother Li, restrain yourself and bear with it. We have to be teammates until the end of the college entrance examination. I’m afraid we’ll have to go through hundreds or thousands of battles. I’ve only raised my hand and you’re already shivering. Who can stand it...”

Li Weiyi remained silent.
