Chapter 265 - Chapter 265: The Consequence of Showing Loyalty

Zhong Qiang widened his eyes, looking at Jiang Kai, appearing extremely excited.

"Yo, you actually ran out on your own, big brothers, he came out by himself! Quick, kill him!"

The man in black stood up, his gaze first coldly glanced at Zhong Qiang, that murderous look making Zhong Qiang shiver and instantly freeze in place, not daring to speak.

"You're teaching us how to act?"

"No, I wouldn't dare…"

Then, the man in black snorted coldly, turned his head to look at Jiang Kai, "Humph humph humph, if I were you, I would've stayed in the secret realm a while longer. After all, once you fall into our hands, you'll definitely miss those old days."

The man in red slightly raised the corners of his mouth, "Interesting, interesting. He says he wants us dead, that's really interesting."

"Jiang Kai, I thought you were a smart person. You might not be able to guess our true level, but at least you should be able to guess, we're at least extraordinary professions, right? Then you should also know, between a mortal profession and an extraordinary one, there's a qualitative difference, right?"

"Your threat, in our eyes, is just a joke."

Jiang Kai took step after step toward the cave entrance, "So, you're anomalous professions?"

Zhong Qiang immediately froze.

These two people are anomalous professionals?

As a level 4 maxed-out player, how could Zhong Qiang not know about anomalous professionals?

Though anomalous and extraordinary professions are of the same level, at the same level, it is generally believed that anomalous professions are stronger than extraordinary ones!

On the surface, all countries only acknowledge their own extraordinary professionals, but just like the star sea of the universe, what people can see is only the tip of the iceberg; what they can't see might be where the real power lies!

"You two are anomalous professionals? No wonder your strength is so terrifying!" Zhong Qiang immediately said.

The man in black and the man in red didn't seem to want to hide it either.

The man in black sneered, "Since you guessed it, then I might as well tell you. I'm Tyrant, and he's Evil Flame. Remember our names well; we'll be your nightmares from now on."

Zhong Qiang widened his eyes, "Evil Flame… Is that the formerly wanted criminal Evil Flame? It's said you disappeared for a long time. Turns out you became an anomalous professional!"

The man in red said coldly, "So what if I was wanted, those who wanted to kill me have already turned to ashes!"

Jiang Kai had always been curious what an anomalous profession was. Who would've thought, the first time he fights someone above mortal level, he'd directly run into two anomalous professionals.

Zhao Tiequan opened his severely swollen eyes, looking at Jiang Kai, "Jiang Kai, run…"

That sentence, however, deeply stabbed Jiang Kai's heart.

Jiang Kai lowered his head, trying hard to hold back his tears, and said with a trembling voice, "You've already been tortured like this, and you still want to act the hero!"

"I'm no hero. I can't even fulfill what I promised you, what kind of hero am I… Those two are too strong, Jiang Kai, run quickly…"

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhao Tiequan suddenly realized that the ropes binding him had been cut off by someone, and then someone hugged his body and sped away quickly.

Tyrant and Evil Flame suddenly noticed someone had taken Zhao Tiequan away, and simultaneously attacked in the direction where Zhao Tiequan had been.

Tyrant wielded a black longsword, and Evil Flame waved his arm, scattering a sheet of flames.

However, Zhao Tiequan dodged both of their attacks at an extremely fast speed.

Soon after, a figure appeared beside Zhao Tiequan.

To save Zhao Tiequan, Jiang Kai had unhesitatingly used a Fraud Substitute once.

Holding Zhao Tiequan's broken body, seeing the unbearable wounds on him, Jiang Kai's eyes filled with tears, "Big brother Zhao!"

At this point, Zhao Tiequan also realized that it was Jiang Kai who had saved him.

"You brat, cough cough, I'm already like this, why are you wasting a skill to save me… cough cough…"

"Jiang Kai, my body hurts, hurts so bad I can't take it, help me out, will you…"

Jiang Kai's tears fell uncontrollably, "Big brother Zhao, hang in there, it'll be fine soon!" He hurriedly took out a pain-numbing yam stick, and a bottle of Ruan Yu's brewed liquor, giving them to Zhao Tiequan to ingest.

The dual effect of reducing pain finally made Zhao Tiequan feel a bit better.

He looked at Jiang Kai and weakly said, "Jiang Kai, listen to me, don't worry about me anymore. You might still have a chance to escape alone."

Jiang Kai shook his head, "Big brother Zhao, hold on tight to me!" Jiang Kai carried Zhao Tiequan on his back and used the previously broken ropes to tightly bind him to himself, "Hold on, just a bit longer, almost there!"

While Jiang Kai was speaking with Zhao Tiequan, Tyrant had already cleaved Jiang Kai's substitute in two.

They knew Jiang Kai's substitute could absorb energy and likely had usage limits, so taking it down while Jiang Kai was still in full state was equivalent to wasting one of his substitutes, avoiding future trouble.

By the time Jiang Kai turned around, Tyrant had already dealt with the substitute.

Evil Flame and Zhong Qiang moved to Jiang Kai's sides, the three of them forming a pincer formation against him.

"You sure have a lot of fancy tricks, but in front of absolute strength, those tricks mean nothing." Tyrant swung the large sword in his hand, "Let's hope your vitality is as strong as that trash's, so you won't die in one hit. We still need to keep you breathing a bit."

Evil Flame's palms turned upward, and two balls of flame actually rose from his hands, "Jiang Kai, I heard you're good with fire? Coincidentally, so am I."

Jiang Kai narrowed his eyes slightly, and two Chasing Death daggers had already appeared in his hands.

Zhong Qiang grinned smugly, "You can't even escape yourself, and still want to carry a burden? Big brothers, no need for you to move, let your little brother cripple his limbs first, as a token of loyalty!"

As he spoke, Zhong Qiang stomped his rear foot, drew his longsword, and lunged fiercely at Jiang Kai.

"You dare toy with me!"

"Granting power! Breaking Moon Sword!"

Just as he struck, Jiang Kai saw a faint glow light up on Zhong Qiang's waist.

"Eye of Temptation!"

Zhong Qiang being able to operate within a range of thirty meters proved that within fourth-rank professions, he was top tier. His speed was extremely fast, and his attacks were ferocious. When his sword came out, the blade was coated with a yellow aura, possibly turning into sword energy at any moment to shoot at Jiang Kai!

Jiang Kai narrowed his eyes slightly and didn't even dodge, directly flinging two Chasing Deaths!

In almost an instant, Zhong Qiang didn't even have time to see Jiang Kai's throws before the two Chasing Death daggers shot directly at his face.

It's said in Ghost Star, survival is more important than attack. Zhong Qiang originally had many defensive measures. With his full-level rank-4 national hero level, he absolutely could've defended against Jiang Kai's attack.

However, Jiang Kai's attack speed far exceeded his expectations!

Before Zhong Qiang could use other skills or effects, one Chasing Death dagger had already lodged into his cheek.

Unfortunately for Zhong Qiang, the second dagger was a critical hit, piercing through his face. His entire head couldn't withstand the massive impact and exploded like a watermelon!

Jiang Kai raised his hand, and the two Chasing Death daggers flew back from a distance and returned to his hands.

"That was for the little guy," Jiang Kai said coldly.

In just the blink of an eye, Jiang Kai instantly killed a fourth-rank max-level expert, Zhong Qiang!

Zhao Tiequan, lying on Jiang Kai's back, frowned deeply. His drunken, slightly blurry eyes blinked several times.

"Am… am I dreaming…"

Jiang Kai put away Chasing Death, turned around, and looked at Evil Flame and Tyrant.

"The clown is gone. Now it's your turn, you two dogs."

At this moment, Tyrant's expression was already somewhat different from before.

He furrowed his brows and glanced at his wristwatch from the corner of his eye.

The watch had just analyzed Jiang Kai's attack speed, and the result was truly frightening.

Ten thousand agility?

"Fourth-rank profession, with ten thousand agility? What kind of joke is this!"

Jiang Kai sneered, "Tyrant, let me give you a heads-up. You might die at the hands of your own watch."
