Chapter 73: Chapter 73: The Bloodthirsty Killer
"Ten days to reach level 10. Doesn't it feel unbelievable?" Huang Wei's indifferent smile carried a hint of pride.
Jiang Kai nodded. "I really didn't expect your level to rise so fast."
To be honest, Huang Wei's leveling speed was downright terrifying.
"Thanks to you, I truly entered a state where I turned a deaf ear to the outside world, focusing solely on getting stronger. Just as I said before, one day, I, Huang Wei, will create an era that belongs to me."
Jiang Kai frowned slightly. "Turning a deaf ear to the outside world... Tsk. Do you know about your Falcon Squad's situation?"
"What Falcon Squad?" Huang Wei replied impatiently. "I'm talking about our personal grudge, and you bring up some squad nonsense?"
Jiang Kai got it. This guy had no clue.
"Ahem... Actually, I think ignoring the outside world might not always be good. Sometimes, you need to stay informed," Jiang Kai suggested.
Huang Wei swayed his head smugly as he paced in front of Jiang Kai. "Hmph, are you scared now? But you should be. A person with better talent, a better background, and who works harder than you—how can you not fear me?"
Jiang Kai was speechless. That wasn't what he meant at all.
"Jiang Kai, we're not on the same level. No matter how much you struggle, to me, you're just a bug," Huang Wei's face turned cold. "Since you've delivered yourself into my hands today, don't blame me for what's to come."
Jiang Kai was genuinely frustrated. It felt like all the villain lines he wanted to say had been stolen by this guy.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Kai finally spoke, "I heard you had a mental breakdown after you died last time. How did you recover from that?"
"Hmph, I knew you'd bring that up. After all, you don't have much else to brag about," Huang Wei sneered. "Too bad for you, not only did I overcome my fears, but I've also become stronger."
"I'll make you pay for your actions back then. Be it in Destiny Calling or Jiangzhong City, I'll make you despair."
Jiang Kai shook his head. Typical Huang Wei, still living in his own world.
There was no way to communicate with this guy.
Jiang Kai sighed. "It's getting late. If you're going to make a move, hurry up. Don't you know villains die from talking too much?"
"Villain? This is my era, Huang Wei's era. I'm the protagonist—you're the villain." Huang Wei's eyes gleamed with murderous intent. "But your request... I can grant it right now."
With that, Huang Wei drew a card from his inventory, which transformed into a gold-and-silver long blade.
"Don't intervene! Watch as I kill this scum." Huang Wei shouted, his figure darting toward Jiang Kai.
"Do you know my talent? True combat talent means there's only one path for you—death..."
Huang Wei's attack was ferocious. The blade's edge shimmered with a cold light, slashing mercilessly toward Jiang Kai's face.
Behind him, his teammates couldn't help but whisper.
"Huang Wei's talent is All-Out Assault. At the moment of attack, he can convert all his attributes into strength to maximize damage. Look at the power of his strikes—it's nothing to scoff at."
"As expected of Huang Wei. Just his combat talent alone grants him immense strength to fight across levels. I wonder if he can break Jiang Fang's record..."
"His attacks even make me feel a sense of pressure, and he's only level 10."
Huang Wei's strike was nearing. As everyone imagined a bloody outcome, Jiang Kai suddenly made his move.
He fired several black shadows from his hands.
"Throwing darts? At melee range? Is he out of his mind?" A second-tier cavalryman frowned deeply.
His companion chimed in, "This guy's combat sense is terrible. Even if the darts hit Huang Wei, they won't stop his overwhelming attack. The fight's already decided."
The two were very close, so the darts had a higher chance of hitting. However, their critique had some merit.
Darts were weak in attack and offered no defensive capability, making them more suitable for ranged combat. Jiang Kai should've kept his distance, striking at opportune moments to wear down his opponent.
But Jiang Kai stood still, neither defending nor dodging, seemingly choosing to face Huang Wei in a head-on clash of damage output.
"You think I'm the same as before? COURTING DEATH!" Huang Wei roared, raising his left arm to block the darts while continuing his right-handed attack without pause.
He was learning—this time, he actually knew to block. His combat experience had indeed improved.
The first two darts struck Huang Wei's left arm armor, failing to pierce it.
This guy's armor was of high grade.
"DIE!" Huang Wei bellowed.
But then, the third dart struck his arm armor.
With a loud boom, Huang Wei, who had been charging aggressively, was suddenly knocked back by a tremendous force. His attack was entirely disrupted, and his whole body was sent flying.
Everyone stared in stunned silence.
"Using darts to knock someone back entirely? What kind of strength is that?"
Huang Wei's body flew over ten meters before crashing heavily onto the icy ground.
Jiang Kai quickly approached. Huang Wei's left arm was a bloody mess; his high-grade armor had been completely penetrated, and the dart had left a gory hole on his cheek.
Huang Wei lay on the ground, blood pouring from his mouth, staring at Jiang Kai in horror.
"How... How is this... possible..."
"You... You went for the face again."
Jiang Kai shook his head sympathetically. Looking at the barely breathing Huang Wei, he said, "The Falcon Squad once said they'd kill me until I couldn't log in anymore. I'm giving those exact words back to you. Next time, pray harder before leaving your camp. Don't let me run into you again."
"Ahem... Huang Wei, I trust that with your exceptional willpower, you'll bounce back again."
Huang Wei's gaze grew more venomous. Gathering his last bit of strength, he roared, "Kill... HIM!" Then he fell silent.
Finally, his four teammates snapped out of it. After exchanging glances, they charged at Jiang Kai together.
Jiang Kai glanced back and snorted coldly. "Still not giving up? Then I'll send your team to join you on the other side."
In the past, Jiang Kai couldn't have defeated four second-tier experts without relying on his Poison-Tipped Chasing Nine Tribulations.
But with his new Arsonist Gauntlets enhanced with magnetic abilities, his combat capabilities had significantly improved.
"Perfect time to test my new tricks!" With that, Jiang Kai flicked his wrists, sending four black shadows flying.
In just seconds, the five members of Huang Wei's squad lay lifeless.

Hearing the system prompts, Jiang Kai frowned. "Bloodthirsty Killer? What the hell is that?"
