Spash—
At Blade Peak Canyon, inside the cave .
Lin Jie held his Broken Blade tightly and sliced horizontally . Then, another hideous injury was formed on the Boss . Fresh and hot blood gushed out, which splashed onto Lin Jie’s face and body . Heart of Enrage instantly thumped as the blood automatically flowed towards it, converting into proficiency .
A Berserker’s Heart of Enrage could absorb blood, but the fresh blood of Munjo Ogre was far from being as effective as the fresh blood from that of a Berserker Boss, though it could also increase a little proficiency .
Also, if there was too much blood on a person, they would be extremely smelly, and it could even decrease the Durability of players’ equipment . Therefore, the Heart of Enrage’s function of being able to absorb blood was killing two birds with one stone .
-3,049!
Broken Blade had actually dealt 3,000+ points of damage with that slash! That was the effect of Combo Attacks . Currently, Lin Jie’s Combo Attack had already reached as high as 89! Inside the Blade Peak Canyon, the difficulty of combos was reduced by quite a few times, but the bottleneck of 90 was still unable to be surpassed . Now, he had reached that limitation yet again!
The Munjo Ogre’s body, which was as big as a mountain, was already filled with injuries, hideous bloody cuts were everywhere, and she kept bleeding non-stop! The Boss’ healing ability was no longer enough to heal these injuries as her mana bar was already empty long ago .
Meanwhile, Lin Jie was not in a better state . It was the first time in this life facing a Dark Gold Boss head-on and single-handedly . The plating on the Kiara Beast King Armor was already mottled and cracked all over from the collisions, exposing the skeleton within . The rest of Lin Jie’s equipment was also worn down .
What was most pitiful was Lin Jie’s head as that Munjo Ogre Princess seemed to like smashing one’s head very much . After all those hammerings, Lin Jie felt as if his brain was about to be smashed into his body!
Ever since Lin Jie discovered that Anti-Slash mural, the Munjo Ogre Princess had completely entered the Enraged Mode . Her Attack had increased by 35% while Attack Speed increased by two times . Also, her attacking style also changed from smashing down to using aura in attacks and dealing splash damage . Lin Jie could not dodge, parry, or block the attacks .
If Lin Jie did not have the Life-Steal effect from the Bloody Demonic Ring and Seven Ears’ High-Grade Health Potion, then most likely, he would have been smashed into meat paste by the Ogre Princess already .
Creak—
Lin Jie frowned as he felt pain in his right hand—that was the sign that he could not connect the next attack! Just at that moment, the Ogre Princess roared ferociously and a Munjo Strike that had three times damage smashed down!

“Anti-Slash!”
Lin Jie lowered his head and dodged the most center of where the attack was . He dashed behind the Boss, and he spun around . Then while he was twirling, Lin Jie slashed a short arc with Broken Blade from the momentum produced as his right hand and body turned .
-102!
The damage of Anti-Slash was low, but Lin Jie’s combo connected and surpassed the 90 Combo Attack bottleneck!
Ding~
—’Your Combo Attack has reached 90 Consecutive Strikes . Congratulations, you have received the title [King Of Combo Attacks], damage increases by an additional 45%, and the effect will continue until the combo resets . ’
90 Combo Attacks, he had surpassed it! Just as Lin Jie was on cloud nine, he shockingly realized that the next attack could not be released no matter what! After Anti-Slash, his body was still in the state of attacking with his backhand, so to pull back and attack again, he needed at least 1 second . In just that second, the Combo Attack had already ended!
“Darn it . ”
Lin Jie cursed, all the Blood Vigor gathered to form Sea King Scaly Armor, his Heart of Enrage thumped as loud as thunder and Death Rage was activated! The Munjo Ogre Princess had less than 15% health points, and that was the stage where she could be instakilled!
Dragon Armor Removal!
Clomaros’ Kill!
That appalling attack appeared once again . After Lin Jie equipped the Devils Wristguard, his attack increased by over 20%, and the damage of that set of Combo Attacks was also enhanced greatly . The aura of the God of War appeared yet again, and with a slash, the Munjo Ogre Princess’ head was actually chopped off!
-172,631!

Whoosh!
A golden light rose up .
—’Congratulations, you have killed the Dark Gold Boss Munjo Ogre Princess . You have leveled up to Level 45, and received 5 Free Stats Point, 2 Fixed Stat Point, and 1 Specialty Point . ’
Lin Jie heaved a sigh of relief and distributed the Specialty Point into Wolf Run Swordsmanship . Now, Wolf Run Swordsmanship had been raised to Level 9, so the Attack Speed and Movement Speed enhancement could reach a maximum of 45% after entering battle mode . Its power could be unleashed completely now .
Before Lin Jie searched the Ogre Princess’ corpse, he took out Essence Oil from his backpack and poured it over his Kiara Beast King Armor and other equipment . Eighteen Massacres had given him the Essence Oil, and its effect was quite good . However, the Sub-Legendary armor’s grade was too high, so one bottle of Essence Oil was not enough at all, it needed at least five bottles to completely repair it .
“I’ve successfully killed her . The good thing is this is a Dark Gold Boss in the Blade Peak Canyon and has an obvious weakness . Though it’s a given as this is a hidden map and those that enter it are mostly loners without a team . Therefore, the strength of the Boss had to be lowered relatively too, to keep it within the level that one could kill it single-handedly . ”
Lin Jie heaved a sigh of relief and exclaimed, “If it were Dark Gold Bosses outside, wanting to kill it alone will be almost impossible . The gain this time is very huge, overcoming the 90 Combo Attack bottleneck with Anti-Slash . But the pulling back of the skill is too heavy . If I cannot find a way to solve that, then I will be forever stuck at Combo Attack 90 and unable to surpass it, not to mention the Berserker’s 100 Consecutive Strikes . ”
Analyzing the pros and cons after battling was a habit that experts had to have .
Lin Jie stood still as he kept on recalling the battling scenes in his mind to find what he lacked . However, in the end, these Munjo Ogres were all monsters specifically set by the system to train Combo Attack techniques . Lin Jie’s advantage was too big when facing them!
It was like when Warriors were practicing skills, normally, they would practice them with non-living things, like scarecrows or trees, and so on . Until they were proficient in the skill, then they would still need to go through a series of practice before they could slowly adjust and use them on monsters .
For example, currently, these Munjo Ogres were like scarecrows, so Lin Jie’s Combo Attack could easily reach 90 . However, when facing players, ignoring the fact of whether or not they could take Lin Jie’s damage, people were much more flexible than monsters . Therefore, as long as the target managed to dodge once, the Combo Attack would end .
Most probably, it would even be difficult for Lin Jie’s Combo Attack to even reach 40 against players!
“Let’s not overthink now, learning the Berserker’s 100 Consecutive Strikes is the most important thing now . No matter what, I must first reach the limitation of the Berserker’s 100 Consecutive Strikes . ” Lin Jie shook his head and gathered his thoughts . He started to sort the loot obtained from killing the Boss this time .
The largest gain was—Anti-Slash . He had obtained it and had already found its weakness after putting it in practice .
The items dropped by the Dark Gold Boss were insignificant as compared to that .
The Ogre Princess had dropped a total of three items: A Level 45 Dark Gold Heavy Hammer Fragment [Ogre’s Triangle Hammer], equipment with four fragments, and one of the top in the Dark Gold rank . Its Attack was as high as 580-880, it was frighteningly powerful .
However, most blunt weapons had a penalty attribute . This Dark Gold Fragment had a 22% chance of an attack diverting; the attack would miss or attack other units . In the worst case, it might even result in the death of allies, so only by gathering all fragments and completing the equipment could this effect be removed .
The second one was a stack of small papers, it was the [Wind Rider Sword Saint’s Training Handbook Fragment], and there were a total of 30! It was around the same number as all the fragments collected from outside at the camp from killing the Munjo Ogres and Mini-Bosses . It looked like killing the Boss was the best way to gather fragments .
The third item was a huge crown, which was as large as a water vat .
[Munjo’s Crown (Right)]: The crown of Munjo Ogres, you will be able to command the Munjo Ogres to fight for you after completing it .
“HO—It’s my crown!” Rocca shouted loudly, “That is my crown, give it to me, and I’ll give you a reward . How about that? I have quite the number of Wind Rider Sword Saint’s Training Handbook Fragments here!”
Lin Jie was slightly shocked, there were at least 100 fragments in Rocca’s hands! ‘That sly fellow, if I did not get this crown, he definitely would not give them to me . ’ Lin Jie rolled his eyes and threw a piece of roast meat to the NPC and said, “Wait till I complete it, I’ll give it to you then . ”
Rocca nodded obediently and kept quiet .
As the Ogre Princess died, the cave seemed to be empty, there was nothing else . Lin Jie carefully observed, the NPC said there was a Munjo Treasure Room, so not going down to take a look was not an option . Only by finding more Munjo Ogres could he practice his Combo Attack and surpass Berserker’s 100 Consecutive Strikes .
Just at that moment, a faint tweet could be heard .
It was the Silver-Feathered Eagle .
“Spirit Vision!” Lin Jie immediately activated the Silver-Feathered Eagle’s line of sight and surprisingly discovered that the entrance to the cave, which was blocked by gravels, actually had been opened . Was it possible someone had come?
Boom—
The figures of two people, the tall and thin Yesterday Morning, as well as the short and fat Tomorrow Night, appeared . Although the cave was too dark to see their faces, such a sharp contrast in figures allowed Lin Jie to immediately recognize them .
‘Shadow Kill’s Grim Reapers!’
They were the emotional anchor of Shadow Kill Workshop and the strongest mercenaries . Although they were extremely low-key, they were legends in the mercenary world . They were even more famous than the Wine God Brothers since they were the old legends of the mercenaries .
“Heyo, I say, where is this worn-down place? Even my perfect fingers are covered with filthy dust, this is simply blasphemy, blasphemy I say!” cried Yesterday Morning with a mournful face . He was pulling a sharp machete, which was as long as three meters . Normal people would not use such a sword as it was too long and a burden, but Yesterday Morning held it tightly and occasionally waved it into the air, blowing away all the dust using the generated wind .
Tomorrow Night’s emotionless eyes ignored his blabbermouth partner, and he took a deep breath with his nose, which was even larger than that of a cow . He then instantly attacked with the dagger, which was only as long as his forearm, piercing towards the air!
-1!
The Silver-Feathered Eagle’s corpse instantly fell down .
“It’s him!” Tomorrow Night licked his lips, and excitement could be seen on his face, as if it were a youngster who saw his crush, his face turned all red . He activated Rush and dashed into the cave vigorously!
Yesterday Morning’s eyes darkened, and he also ran in the same direction .
Beside the corpse in the cave, Lin Jie was using his Broken Blade to slice the relief mural, which recorded the Anti-Slash skill that Wind Rider Sword Saint had left, turning it into a ground full of gravel and dust .
No matter what, Lin Jie had already learned the skill, so he destroyed it first to prevent others from learning that skill too!
At that moment, wind sounds could be heard—
“They’re here!” Lin Jie took a deep breath and waved his Broken Blade . Blade Aura was released, and countless stones were sliced into powder form before falling . Lin Jie activated Fog Concealment and gradually disappeared .
