Chapter 22: A Plain and Unadorned Punch!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Accompanied by a roar of some unknown player, the players behind young master Li all rushed over.

The scene was quite spectacular!

At this time, Jiang Bai, who was inside the novice village, had long understood the opponent’s intentions.

For a moment, his heart immediately sank.

One had to know that as long as the opponent didn’t attack, he would be at a disadvantage if he was surrounded in the novice village.

Especially with Su Muxue who was still behind him.

In an instant, a crazy idea appeared in his mind.

Instead of letting himself be trapped in a passive position, it would be better to just attack and kill all of them!

Jiang Bai immediately made up his mind.

His expression turned solemn as he waved at Ickes who was behind him and rushed out.

When the players saw this, they thought that Jiang Bai had become anxious because he did not have any trump cards! He was probably going all out to break out of the encirclement.

“All of you, move closer to the front! Don’t let him escape!”

“10 million! I’m coming!”

“I’m the closest to him! Hahaha, it looks like the money is mine!”

“This guy got anxious?”

“What’s the point of rushing out now? It’s too late!”

“It’s better for him to just become money and die in peace!”

“If it was when the lot of us hadn’t gathered, you could have used your high level to break out! But there are more than 100 players here now. So what if you’re level 10 now? It’s too late! Just lie down and wait for your death obediently!”

Looking at Jiang Bai who was about to be surrounded by the crowd, young master Li was extremely excited. He was even thinking of how he would torture and kill the other party in the most brutal methods in the future!

However, he didn’t notice that as all the players gathered at the entrance, the corners of Jiang Bai’s mouth curled up slightly.

If the opponents were to split up, he would have had to worry about the method to annihilate them in one fell swoop!

After all, what he wanted was to completely annihilate all of them!

He wanted to make all those who opposed him lose their levels!

Or even cripple the other party’s account!

The price of death in Sword and Magic was quite heavy!

After the players are resurrected, they would be in a weakened state for a long time.

Not only would the EXP they gained be greatly reduced, but the progress of the player’s character development would also be greatly delayed!

The effects were especially obvious in the early stages of the game. If a player died once and then went to kill monsters, they might not have reached level 10 and completed their class transition yet, while others who had never died before may have already gone to town and completed several quests.

The difference between the two was not as simple as one plus one equals two!

It could be said that compared to the penalty of losing levels and equipment after players died, the delay in progress was the most fatal!

It could even lead to the destruction of an account!

One had to know that every identity could only register two characters in Sword and Magic.

It was not like the other games where one could die indefinitely, and could even spend money to buy and reopen accounts indefinitely.

Therefore, when he saw that he could not kill the opponents in the simplest way, Jiang Bai immediately changed his mind!

He would take the initiative to attack!

He would not hesitate even if he became a red-name player due to this!

The players gradually approached him.

Jiang Bai immediately stopped in his tracks and gave an attack order to Ickes who was behind him!

Receiving Jiang Bai’s order, Ickes did not hesitate at all.

She exerted force on her feet and instantly transformed into a black shadow that appeared in front of Jiang Bai. She then directly punched out at the players before her, her attacks seemingly extremely ordinary.

When the players in front of Jiang Bai saw a beautiful woman wearing black scale armor appear before them, they were quite nervous.

After all, her outfit was too exquisite and she even had a pair of black wings on her back!

Most of the players’ equipment in the early stages of the game was trash.

The sudden appearance of a fully armed and extremely beautiful woman caused the players to hesitate!

Could she be the reinforcement of the other party?

After all, in some hidden quests in the game, the player who completed the quest could obtain one-time summon consumables of high-level characters.

But when they saw the level 10 tag on Ickes’ head, their worries instantly disappeared.

She was only at level 10. No matter how strong she was, could she face the siege of 100 players?

Unfortunately, everything in the imagination was beautiful, but the reality was cruel.

“Bang!!!” With an earth-shattering sound, the player closest to Ickes was sent flying with a punch.

As the player’s HP bar was instantly reduced to zero, his body became a human-shaped cannonball that carried terrifying impact force as it flew straight to the back!

For a moment, the players who collided with him were all affected!

Half of the players in the front row were instantly killed!

All kinds of novice equipment fell to the ground!

The remaining players behind him were sent flying dozens of meters away!

They lay on the ground, unmoving as they fell into a near-death state.

Rather, they could move, but they were caught off guard by the sudden situation!

Everyone was stunned.

What was going on?

They had only felt a flash in front of their eyes before they received a notification that they had entered a near-death state.

By the time they came back to their senses, they had already flown dozens of meters away and were looking up at the blue sky.

For a moment, everyone was doubting their lives.
