The Strongest Talent Tree

Chapter 199: Chapter 196: Massacre

While Bai Yin’s Qi Blood plummeted, Feng Hao was also taking damage from the chilling wind’s corrosion. But compared to the speed at which Bai Yin was losing health, Feng Hao clearly had a significant advantage.

Of course, even though Bai Yin was a Magic-type Mage, thanks to her full set of Primeval-grade equipment, her health pool was no smaller than Feng Hao’s.

And Bai Yin was still formidable. She slammed down one large-scale Secret Technique after another, quickly bringing Feng Hao’s health down to her level.

Feng Hao was speechless. He hadn’t expected it to end up in a stalemate.

Usually in this situation, whoever flinched first lost. There was no choice but to see it through to the bitter end.

Just as everyone thought the two were heading for a draw, Bai Yin’s face suddenly went deathly pale. The chilling wind around her dissipated in an instant, and the barrage of Secret Techniques she had been unleashing came to a halt.

Seeing this, Feng Hao couldn’t help but burst out laughing. "Haha, ran out of Magic Power, did you?"

"Damn it." Bai Yin’s fair face was ashen, her eyes filled with bitter indignation.

Unfortunately for her, Feng Hao had no intention of being chivalrous. He shot forward in an Ambush, landing two quick slashes—SLASH! SLASH!—then kicked her square on the butt, sending her flying once again.

THUD!

Bai Yin landed gracelessly, like a Fairy fallen to the mortal world.

By now, the square was dead silent. Only Feng Hao stood there, laughing coldly and arrogantly.

"This is the last time. If you dare to cause trouble for me again, it won’t be as simple as a kick." Feng Hao snorted, retracting his Su Mu Dagger. After leaving behind a few badass-sounding words, he swaggered over to Xiyue Frost and the other two.

Bai Yin struggled to her feet, tears welling in her eyes. Her pride had suffered an unprecedented blow.

The surrounding crowd had also snapped out of their stupor. Cries of shock and curses rose and fell:

"Senior Sister Bai Yin was actually defeated? This... how is this possible?"

"Level thirty-one... HISS! What kind of monster is this kid?"

"Yeah! He’s not even human!"

"Bastard! If you’ve got the guts, come at me! What kind of hero beats up a woman?!"

"Look, Senior Sister Bai Yin is crying!" Bai Yin’s rabid fans roared. "Dammit, our goddess is being bullied! Everyone, let’s go! Chop that bastard to pieces!"

"Brothers, our time has come!"

...

In the blink of an eye, countless men stood united. Filled with righteous indignation, they all drew their weapons and began to surround Feng Hao, roaring.

Feng Hao was instantly dumbfounded. He stared at the massive, advancing army, the corner of his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

’Holy crap, do they have to be this vicious?’ Feng Hao thought, his face darkening with frustration.

What he expected even less was that Man Tiaotiao had also been incited. Swinging her fists, she charged at him. "You bumpkin, die!"

"Tiaotiao!" Xiyue Frost subconsciously tried to stop her, but it was too late.

Houhuiyao was also quite startled. He hurriedly waved his Magic Staff to top off Feng Hao’s Qi Blood. As a healer, there was little else he could do.

Bai Yin snapped out of her despair just in time to see the scene unfolding before her, and she too was shocked.

"Everyone, don’t do this—!" At the critical moment, Bai Yin could only try her best to stop them.

Unfortunately, these rabid fans had already lost their minds. They completely ignored her and continued to close in on Feng Hao. "Senior Sister Bai Yin, don’t be afraid! We’ll get justice for you!"

"That’s right! This bastard isn’t getting out of here alive today!"

Bai Yin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She hastily blocked Feng Hao’s path and tried to reason with them loudly, "Everyone, be rational! You’re only making me feel worse by doing this!"

"Senior Sister, say no more! This won’t end until one of us is dead!" a few of the students at the front shouted, their eyes filled with fanaticism.

"To the death... To the death..."

Responses immediately echoed from the crowd, the roars earth-shattering and overwhelming.

"You all..." Bai Yin was so angry she was on the verge of tears.

Naturally, Feng Hao wasn’t about to let a woman shield him. He snorted coldly, stepped forward, and pulled the weakened Bai Yin behind him. "This has nothing to do with you now. Just stand aside and behave."

"What are you going to do?" Bai Yin asked, her expression complex.

"Teach these morons a lesson, of course." Feng Hao scoffed, turning to face the fanatics. The Su Mu Dagger reappeared in his hand. He scanned the crowd and said, "A fight to the death, is it? Today, I’ll show you all why flowers are so red!"

After he spoke, he pointed his dagger at the nearby Man Tiaotiao, clearly annoyed. "And you! Stop causing trouble and get the hell out of the way!"

"No! I will fight you to the death!" Man Tiaotiao declared, fired up.

’Fight to the death my ass,’ Feng Hao cursed inwardly. He used Ambush to appear right in front of Man Tiaotiao and unleashed a flurry of blows before she could even react.

After the beating, he kicked her over to where Xiyue Frost was standing.

"You damn bumpkin, I’ll kill you!" Man Tiaotiao screamed, scrambling to her feet with a bruised and swollen face. She roared and charged at Feng Hao, only to be held back by Xiyue Frost.

Having dealt with the trouble that was Man Tiaotiao, Feng Hao turned back to the fanatics. "Don’t say I’m bullying you. Come at me, all at once!"

Faced with such an arrogant provocation, the fanatics instantly lost it, roaring as they swarmed toward Feng Hao.

In an instant, all sorts of Sword Qi, Fireballs, bolts of light, and arrows blotted out the sky...

"Houhuiyao, keep me healed!" Feng Hao laughed excitedly, activating Shadowmeld and charging into the crowd.

"No problem!" Houhuiyao replied, his own blood pumping with excitement.

The next moment, under the stunned gazes of Xiyue Frost and Bai Yin, Feng Hao plunged into the crowd like a phantom. His figure flickered in and out of sight, a dark light flashing each time he reappeared, always accompanied by a wave of screams.

Feng Hao’s Assassin build was now complete; he was no longer the same person who had been ganged up on by the hooligans from the Dance Team. Especially not against this disorganized mob.

He used Shadowmeld to slip into the crowd, then activated [Dark Moon Carnage] and [Moon Wheel Dance]. The terrifying damage instantly killed a large swath of them. By the time the poor fanatics managed to locate Feng Hao, before they could even attack, he had already vanished with Shadowmeld again.

The once-mighty mob of fanatics was instantly routed, the scene turning into a one-sided slaughter.

PFFT! PFFT! PFFT...

One by one, the fanatics fell. The ground beneath the Origin Node was littered with bodies, and cries of misery filled the air.

Of course, Feng Hao wasn’t invincible. Facing an encirclement of several thousand people, no matter how good his skills were, it was impossible to dodge every attack. Stray Secret Techniques landed on him, and his health dropped at a terrifying rate.

Luckily, with Houhuiyao providing support from the rear, supplemented by the High-tier Blood Recovery Pills he always kept on hand, he managed to keep his health bar stabilized above fifty percent.

"There he is, there he is! Get him!" several Defense Mages yelled amidst the chaotic crowd.

It couldn’t be helped. Against an opponent like Feng Hao, who refused to fight head-on, a group of Defense Mages like them was practically useless.

"Fuck, he got away again! Where’s the ranged fire from the recon and magic damage classes? Are you all useless?"

Just as the Defense Mages were complaining furiously, Feng Hao’s figure emerged from the shadows. [Dark Moon Carnage] and [Moon Wheel Dance] swept out, instantly killing several of them, leaving only one heavily-built man standing there with critical health.

"Oh? There’s a survivor," Feng Hao noted with slight surprise.

The critically injured man snapped back to his senses and, without a word, swung his great axe at Feng Hao. But it was no use. Feng Hao had already used Ambush to get behind him and finished him off with a simple basic attack.

His Qi Blood depleted, the large man collapsed like a deflated balloon.
