Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 464

At that moment.

A being with a mouse head and a human body, cloaked in black robes, stealthily approached with a crossbow in hand, its two beady green eyes glinting with cunning.

Behind it trailed a hulking figure, clad in pitch-black heavy armor, wielding a giant shield and built like a iron tower, complete with two bull horns sprouting from its head.

“Brother Zhao, are you sure this tactic will work?” the hulking figure asked in a deep voice.

The mouse-headed being confidently replied, “Trust me, my ancestor participated in the Supreme Secret Realm and only got stopped at the fifth round. He said that after the match begins, the best strategy is to invade the enemies’ jungle and capture the resources early to level up faster.”

“We’re looking for an opportunity to hunt the testers in all three lanes. As long as we establish an advantage in the early game, we should have the win in the bag!”

Zhao Haoyin boasted, “This is all from experience; we just need to follow the plan as newbies.”

“Then why did you pick me?” the hulking figure asked curiously.

“Ha, the reason I want you with me is that your character has high defense. If you block in front, I can unleash my attacks without worry.”

“With our combo, we’ll steamroll through the enemies’ jungle, and take out any stragglers we encounter!”

“Perfect!”

Zhao Haoyin sneered, “With this high-level play, I don’t believe those idiots on the other side can stop us!”

As they delved deeper, the scene before them froze them in their tracks.

A young man with a ridiculous hairstyle, dressed in silver attire, stood sideways holding a sword. He looked scruffy, his eyes cocked sideways, exuding an indescribable unique aura.

“What the hell?” the hulking figure gasped.

“Damn, that’s Shen Jianxin, the Sword Cultivator? What a transformation! Unbelievable!” Zhao Haoyin drew in a sharp breath.

“Are you two here to deliver heads to me?” Ye Junlin asked meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Haoyin laughed in anger, “What a joke! We’re the same level, and you’re injured. Just think about it with your toes to see who will win!”

“Yeah, and your name is ‘Invincible but Lonely’? You’re not invincible at all! Who can you even beat right now?” the hulking figure mocked.

It’s not surprising they thought this way since they had better efficiency in the jungle, both being level two, and with their states in good condition, they looked down on the injured Ye Junlin.

“Let’s give it a try, then.”

Ye Junlin had a playful smile as he flicked his wrist, ready to unleash a second active skill.

“You dare to act this arrogant with low health? I’ll teach you to face reality!” Zhao Haoyin exclaimed, loading his crossbow and firing a green arrow laced with deadly poison.

“Shadow Dance!”

Ye Junlin twirled his wrist and unleashed his sword technique, transforming into a series of blurred phantoms that effortlessly dodged the toxic arrows.

Keep in mind, he was a fragile character at low health; if he got hit by that arrow, he was dead meat.

However, with the new skill, Shadow Dance, he could not only increase his speed and evasion but also create multiple illusions to confuse the target.

“I’m firing, I’m firing, I’m firing!”

Zhao Haoyin kept shooting arrows at Ye Junlin, even unleashing his first and second skills.

“Damn, why can’t I hit him?!” Zhao Haoyin was losing it, realizing no matter how well he aimed, all his shots missed.

It looked like it was Ye Junlin’s real body, but they were all illusions.

“Ha ha, my turn!”

Ye Junlin closed in quickly, radiating killing intent.

“Friend, quickly stop him!” Zhao Haoyin shouted desperately.

“Leave it to me!”

The hulking figure stomped his foot, causing the ground to tremble violently, as a heavy brown light enveloped his shield, forming a gigantic energy barrier to block Ye Junlin.

Normally, any average character would take a long time to break through, but Ye Junlin was anything but ordinary.

With a damage boost of two hundred times, every strike of his sword was ludicrously powerful, far exceeding the standards for this level.

Swish~

The sword shadows overlapped as they struck the enormous energy barrier.

Boom!

In an instant, the energy barrier shattered.

The hulking figure gaped, “How is this possible?”

Then, Ye Junlin’s sword slashed towards his massive body.

After just two regular attacks, the hulking figure seemed to be hit hard, and his health bar vanished into thin air.

“Ah…”

The hulking figure crashed to the ground, a look of disbelief etched on his face as his body turned into countless glowing particles and dissipated into the air.

“Oh crap!”

Zhao Haoyin, who witnessed it all, was terrified, his hairs standing on end, face full of shock.

What the hell was going on?

The Bull-headed Leader was known for having the strongest physical defense among all characters.

His attack power was weak, but his defense was absolutely maxed out!

How could a character like this be killed in just two basic attacks?

Was Shen Jianxin really this strong?

And not even a single hit?

“Run!”

Zhao Haoyin immediately turned to flee in panic.

“Dawn Break!” Ye Junlin unleashed a white sword qi.

Unlike the beginning, this white sword qi wasn’t thin like a shrimp line; it was wide enough to be thumb-width, shredding through the void and making a sharp sound as it cut through the air.

“Don’t!”

Realizing the terrifying sword qi approaching from behind, Zhao Haoyin cried out in fear.

Thud!

He was hit, spraying blood as he was split in two, with bloody remnants falling to the ground, turning into countless glowing particles.

A single sword strike for the kill!

Ye Junlin chuckled, “That’s called a low-health counter kill.”

【Congratulations, ‘Invincible but Lonely’, for achieving a double kill!】

In that moment, everyone’s minds echoed with a notification sound.

Immediately, both sides exploded in chaos!

The loudspeaker icon in the upper right corner was shaking violently.

Canglang Jun: “Senior Ye is awesome, taking down two heads so quickly!”

Tang Yaoyao: “Wow, that’s impressive!”

Luo Qingwu: “Not bad, you’ve got skills! Meanwhile, I’m still struggling with the guy over here!”

Great Mushroom King: “So strong…”

Clearly, Ye Junlin’s double kill in the jungle stunned his four teammates.

On the other side, the blue team was cursing nonstop.

“Damn! What were you two idiots thinking? Did you throw the game on purpose?”

“How do you even lose a two-on-one? Where’s your brain?”

“Ugh, so embarrassing! You’re making me sick!”

The other three teammates berated Zhao Haoyin and the hulking figure mercilessly.

The two revived at the altar wore looks of grief and indignation.

“It’s unfair! That Shen Jianxin hits too hard; even the Bull-headed Leader was taken out in two strikes!” Zhao Haoyin complained, feeling frustrated.

“Shut up! The Bull-headed Leader has such strong defense; even I, a high burst mage, need a long time to take him down. How could Shen Jianxin do that?”

The highest damage dealer, Wang Gang, shouted angrily from the mid lane, where the Fire and Water factions were brawling, facing off against Canglang Jun, who looked like a scholarly figure holding a sage book.

Seeing his teammate’s fiery rage, Canglang Jun took the opportunity to suppress his mindset, “You might as well stop guarding the tower. Let me push mid straight; it’ll save us troubles!”

Wang Gang, who was already fuming, erupted upon hearing this,

“Get lost! Go dream somewhere else! Just because your teammates got two kills, you think you’ve won the game for sure? I’ll tell you, the real fun is just getting started!”

At that moment, he had no idea that their team would soon be wrecked beyond recognition, leaving a lingering fear that would haunt him for years to come…
