Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1901 - 987: Mercy (Part 2)

The King was already too old. Even at the demigod level, it was impossible to maintain his peak condition indefinitely, as his organs deteriorated rapidly with age.

He was no longer at the peak of a Drama Master, and his speed and precision were gradually falling behind the rhythm of the younger knights.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the fallen trees and sighed, "A demigod, huh. I’ll never be able to defeat her in this lifetime."

Li Dongze spoke with an expressionless face, "Back when she ran away from home, she was already B-Class. It’s normal for her to have completed two more life-and-death trials after more than ten years."

"Eh? Where’s March?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked, "Wasn’t she just here?"

...

...

Wang Xiaojiu swung the over three meters long guillotine with a whooshing sound, and as soon as it touched any trees, the trunks instantly exploded into strips of wood.

The spectators felt that this was no longer a human being, but a walking humanoid weapon.

Strangely, even though she was a knight, it seemed she shouldn’t have been able to fight with full strength for this long. As time passed, Wang Xiaojiu showed no sign of fatigue.

The Fifth Princess stood at the hatch of the ship, watching the scene, and sighed, "It’s good we didn’t deceive her; otherwise, it would have been troublesome."

The voice of Marquis Bolton weakly came from behind, "Aren’t you friends? Would she really kill you?"

The Fifth Princess said, "You don’t know how excited she was when she obtained the A-Class Plague Box. I thought she would keep the Plague Box, but she turned around, exited the Multidimensional World, and placed the Plague Box in the main city of Superconductor World...In my view, such a person is much crazier than Qing Chen."

At this moment, Wang Xiaojiu had relentlessly pursued the old King for thirty kilometers. The old King’s breath was uneven, and there were already hundreds of knife marks on his black robe.

Unfortunately, none of the strikes could harm the old King’s body.

The next moment, the old King finally saw a flaw in Wang Xiaojiu’s fate, an attack for which she was unprepared and could not retaliate.

This attack was destined to hit!

A short sword fell from his sleeve, snaked through the gap of the guillotine long knife, and stabbed at Wang Xiaojiu’s abdomen!

However, the sword did not pierce an inch!

The short sword only tore the hem of Wang Xiaojiu’s combat suit, revealing bandages wrapped around her slender waist, neatly accentuating her thin waist, and one could still see the toned abs beneath the bandages!

The old King’s pupils constricted, a taboo object!

Wang Xiaojiu had pursued him for so long, seemingly aware of the Drama Master’s supreme forewarning mechanism, deliberately setting a trap during this relentless assault, taking his strike head-on but blocked it with a taboo object!

Taboo object, Priest’s Bandages.

The host must be a patient with a piercing wound in the abdomen. After wrapping the bandages, the wound heals in 3 minutes, and grants double strength and stamina for 24 hours.

To contain these bandages, the host must endure daily pain, inflicting new piercing wounds on themselves.

Those who could contain these bandages were the fiercest of the fierce.

At this time, taboo objects that were once rarely seen in the civilian world were surfacing one by one, becoming the secret weapons of the transcendent.

No wonder Wang Xiaojiu’s stamina was astonishing. Not only due to her knight heritage but also because she possessed such a taboo object!

The knights were hated by other transcendents on the Eastern Continent, one, because they lived very long; even if they didn’t fight, they could outlive their enemies. Two, because they were extremely fast, lineages like Onmyoji and Chen Clan Illustrators could not keep up with the knights’ speed. Three, knights had extremely high stamina, and they often engaged in endurance warfare, draining their enemy to exhaustion over three hours while they remained unaffected. Four, knights loved to brawl; you never knew where their hidden couriers would suddenly emerge.

At this moment, Wang Xiaojiu had brought the knights’ best stamina to the extreme!

And the flaw now was one she deliberately exposed!

In an instant, Wang Xiaojiu’s wrist shook, and the over one-meter-long hilt split from the massive guillotine, drawing out a slender short sword!

It appeared that the massive cumbersome guillotine was, in fact, just the scabbard for this short sword.

The old King saw in destiny his neck sliced by the short sword, blood flowing, and he wanted to flee wildly but found himself already exhausted.

Even though he foresaw it all, he could not dodge!

The world fell silent.

Wang Xiaojiu swiftly drew her sword, the short sword emerging from the guillotine, slicing the old King’s neck, spinning around, and returning to the guillotine.

Flowing smoothly, without hindrance.

Wang Xiaojiu stood before the old King with the guillotine on her shoulders, the ponytail swaying, the neatly wrapped white bandages around her waist, crisp and sharp to the extreme: "Dead."

As soon as the words fell, crimson blood sprayed from the old King’s neck.

"Retreat!" The Fifth Princess on the airship said, "Beware of the Ten Thousand Serpents!"

The old King stood upright without falling, but under his skin, countless lines were crazily twisting.

Ten Thousand Serpents, an extremely rare S-Class taboo object, contained through the sacrifice of a wife and twelve offspring’s lives. Upon the host’s death, the Ten Thousand Serpents attack all creatures that attacked the host within 12 hours, relentlessly.

Thus, when everyone thought his target was Jindai Yunlo and the Hundred-Eyed Demon, he had already prepared a fallback plan for himself.

The old King could not foresee his fate after encountering Li Dongze and the others since it had already exceeded the duration of God’s perspective. He did not know that he would definitely die there, but if someone attempted to ambush him beyond God’s perspective, he was prepared to sacrifice everyone involved to the Ten Thousand Serpents.
