I Maximize My Item-dropping Rate Chapter 44 - 44 Swamp

Chapter 44 - 44 Swamp

44 Swamp

Under the collision, both of them retreated at the same time.

Zhuo Fu took five steps back in a row, each step leaving a deep footprint on the ground. Xiao s.h.i.+ took seven steps back.

“As expected, with my current Qi and blood strength, I’ll be at a disadvantage when fighting a Martial Entry-Level Nine.”

Xiao s.h.i.+ was not surprised. The reason why he did not choose to launch a sneak attack this time and fought head-on was to test his current strength. From the current exchange, he was at a slight disadvantage.

However, the difference was not huge.

“Again.”

His body moved. He charged over again. The collision of the long saber and broadsword kept exploding.

The two of them fought fiercely. Booming sounds continued. Although Zhuo Fu’s blood and qi, cultivation, and actual combat experience were far stronger than Xiao s.h.i.+, Xiao s.h.i.+ relied on the speed and agility of the Arc Flash to fight Zhuo Fu back and forth. He was at a slight disadvantage, but Zhuo Fu could not do anything to him.

Clang!

After forcing Xiao s.h.i.+ back with a single strike, Zhuo Fu frowned. “A meaningless battle.”

There was not much difference in their combat strength. Clearly, neither of them could do anything to the other. If this continued, it would be a complete waste of time. Especially after he realized that this guy seemed to have the intention to use him to train, he did not want to waste time here.

He was prepared to find an opportunity to retreat.

Xiao s.h.i.+ also saw that the other party had no intention of continuing the battle.

“I wanted to play with you for a while longer, but since you’re in such a hurry to have a death wish, I’ll fulfill your wish.”

Xiao s.h.i.+ flipped his hand. He took out a flag from his storage bag. Apart from testing his strength, he also wanted to test the power of the [Swamp Array]!

As this array formation could only be used a total of three times, he could not try it out of thin air. Appropriate targets are needed.

This ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist was obviously a good target.

Swoos.h.!.+

As Xiao s.h.i.+ stabbed the array flags in his hand into the ground, waves of methane immediately spread out from the ground within a radius of 300 meters from the position of the array flags at the center.

The surrounding scenery became blurry under this swamp gas.

“This is!?” Zhuo Fu was shocked.

He felt the ground under his feet quickly soften, and his feet began to sink. An intense sense of danger instantly filled his entire mind. He did not hesitate at all. He decisively fled. However, the soft ground made it extremely difficult for him to take every step.

It was as if he was running in the swamp.

It was extremely difficult!

After spending a lot of effort, he only took two steps forward. Just these two steps alone made him use all his strength.

“d.a.m.n it!”

Zhuo Fu’s expression was ugly. The sense of danger in his heart grew stronger.

The ground under his feet had already begun to turn into a swamp that stuck to his feet. Not only did it require him to use his greatest strength every time he raised his foot, but if he remained motionless, his body would sink bit by bit.

“What the h.e.l.l is this!?”

Zhuo Fu’s heart was in turmoil. As there was no array master proficient in array formations in the Seven Star Province, he had never seen such an array formation. In his panic, he could not help but raise his broadsword and slash at the swamp below with all his might, wanting to use his strongest slash to cut through this swamp.

However, when this sword slashed the swamp, it was like a clay ox entering the sea. It did not cause any fluctuations.

On the other hand, the moment the broadsword touched the swamp, the entire broadsword was stuck. No matter how hard he pulled, he could not pull it out of the swamp.

Fear exploded in Zhuo Fu’s heart bit by bit. This strange method made him feel powerless. He could not break free from the swamp at all. He could only watch as his body sank bit by bit.

Not far away, Xiao s.h.i.+ watched this scene with bright eyes.

Although he was also in the range of the swamp, the swamp under his feet did not affect him at all. He still felt like he was standing on flat ground, not in the swamp. He looked at Zhuo Fu who was struggling in the swamp.

Although he had long expected this array formation to be very powerful, its strength still far exceeded Xiao s.h.i.+’s imagination. Now, even if he did nothing, Zhuo Fu would also sink deeper and deeper into the swamp.

He would not die, but this array formation had an extremely powerful trapping effect. Even a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist would find it difficult to break free from such a cage. They would only sink deeper and deeper.

In this state, it was quite easy for him to kill him.

The only thing to be careful of was the duration of this array formation. It was limited. It could only last for three minutes. After three minutes, the array formation would dissipate.

“Three minutes is enough!”

Xiao s.h.i.+’s eyes burned. With the power of this array formation, he could even kill the bounty hunters in the city! When he returned, he would kill that shark immediately. At that time, he could obtain another item dropped by a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist.

Wonderful!

As for now, he wanted to see what good things would drop after killing this Zhuo Fu.

Xiao s.h.i.+ immediately walked over step by step. At this moment, Zhuo Fu had already sunk to his thigh in the swamp. He could no longer move his feet and could only watch as Xiao s.h.i.+ approached. His eyes were filled with fear and despair.

Although his hands could still move, he was already fixed in place and could only become Xiao s.h.i.+’s live target.

Xiao s.h.i.+ went behind him. He slashed down.

Swoos.h.!.+

The blade slashed at the Qi and blood surrounding his body.

These blood and qi had very strong protection. After Xiao s.h.i.+’s saber slashed over, he was actually unable to directly penetrate these blood and qi at the first moment. He felt as if he was blocked by a membrane. He had to shatter this membrane first before he could touch his body.

The intense danger made Zhuo Fu struggle even more violently.

However, the more he struggled, the faster he sank.

Under the circ.u.mstances that he could not move, he could only resist every slash from Xiao s.h.i.+ with the blood and qi surrounding his body.

Puff!

In the end, when the blood and qi surrounding his body was slashed apart, the saber in Xiao s.h.i.+’s hand swept past his neck.

...

The saber cut off his head.

As Zhuo Fu died, Xiao s.h.i.+ quickly picked up the item he had dropped and left. After arriving outside the town, he quickly changed back into his previous clothes and waited for Cen Qingci.

Cen Qingci should be back soon.

As expected, he did not wait long. He saw Cen Qingci rus.h.i.+ng over from afar at an extremely fast speed.

“Is everything okay?” Cen Qingci sized up Xiao s.h.i.+.

“Yes.” Xiao s.h.i.+ asked curiously. “Senior Sister, are you ready to kill?”

“Yes!” Cen Qingci nodded. There was a hint of excitement on her exquisite face. “Although there are still some risks, I think I can kill him if I have the chance! However, it’s still too dangerous inside. Junior Brother, don’t go. Wait for me here. I’ll kill that Zhuo Fu first before bringing you in to find the wanted criminal.”

“Alright, all the best, Senior Sister!” Xiao s.h.i.+ encouraged her.

“Wait for my good news!” Cen Qingci rushed in murderously.

Then, less than a minute later, she came out.

...
