Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Ximen Wuque was already level 75, and had just successfully achieved his second transformation after failing several times in his attempts to reach a bloodline node. However, Brook, facing him, was already at his third transformation, so he wisely called for help from his family's retainers.

The Ximen family had nearly wiped out the several teams besieging the Fire Dragon God below the platform. Dong Cheng, Dong Quan, Cai Zi, and Cai Wu, who had just freed up their hands, immediately obeyed their master's call and surrounded Brook and the others.

"Dare to bully my Ximen family, humph!"

"Are you tired of living?"

"You're just looking for death!"

"Master Wuque, should we kill both of them?" Dong Quan asked.

"...Force the women to retreat, and beat the men to death!" Ximen Wuque remained relatively rational. While the Ximen and Wenren families had their conflicts, they weren't completely at odds. Wenren Muyue was a direct descendant of the clan, so he didn't dare actually kill her. But Brooke was just a retainer, so killing her was a no-brainer.

Brook was speechless. He had simply been enjoying the show. The Fire Dragon God was so impressive, and he wanted to see what would happen next. He hadn't expected the Ximen family to be so petty and arrogant, actually threatening to kill him.

"Yes, Master!" Dong Quan had barely finished speaking when he rushed in front of Brooke. Taoist Dong Cheng had already taken action, and the ranged attacks of the mages Cai Zi and Cai Wu followed suit.

Poisoning technique. Fiery fire, lightning, thunder, fire talismans, crackling and concentrated fire.

Brook stood there, completely motionless, his blood volume remaining unchanged.

The long-range spell attacks of the three people could not even break through his magic defense; only the warrior's Fiery Sword Technique caused him more than 3 points of damage, which was all absorbed by the protective shield, so his blood volume naturally did not decrease.

The other guys were shocked, especially Dong Quan, who was closest to Brook. He felt it most clearly: when the Taurus Axe chopped down, he immediately felt a lot of resistance. Brook's defense was very high.

Brooke was still a little skeptical. They had no grudges against him, so why would they really kill him? But the facts were clear: these guys attacked with concentrated fire, determined to kill him.

"You're in trouble!" Brooke said coldly. He casually cast a poison spell on Dong, the third-rank warrior. The Holy Dragon Beast spewed flames and unleashed a series of bloodthirsty spells.

Dong Quan took a step back and launched an assassination attack at Brook. The three people behind him also rushed to output, Ximen Wuque and Ximen Wuhui also joined the battle, all focusing their fire on Brook.

Wenren Muyue naturally took action as well, aiming at Dong Quan and extinguishing the heavenly fire.

Dong Quan was level 98, quite strong, with an attack range of 350-860 and a HP of 9100. However, he couldn't even break Brook's shield after several consecutive strikes.

Brook didn't retreat but advanced, taking two steps to get behind Dong Quanquan. If you want to kill me, then I'll kill you and show you how to kill me, so that you can't escape!

Assassinate, then assassinate. Brook didn't even bother to move, simply taking Dong Quan's assassination attacks head-on, fighting him head-on. You stab me, I'll whip you with Bloodlust. Adding Wenren Muyue's level 4 Extinguishing Sky Fire, Dong Quan's health dropped steadily. As for the other ranged attacks, they barely broke Brook's defense, so he simply ignored them.

"This guy has very high defense and a body shield!" Dong Quan reminded.

"A protective shield?!" Everyone was a little surprised. A mere retainer actually had a protective shield?

The same level, the same equipment, but with and without a body shield, were two completely different levels. The former could crush the latter.

"Hold on, my third brother and the others are coming soon." Ximen Wuque shouted.

At this time, Ximen Wuxie and others were still fighting with the remaining few wandering cultivators, and it seemed that the battle would be resolved soon.

But Dong Quan couldn't hold on any longer. He tried to run to the back of the team to rest, but Brook had already blocked his path. Dong Quan rushed left and right several times, but was blocked by Brook's prediction. Dong Cheng, Cai Zi, Cai Wu and others behind him were helpless. They couldn't hit Brook at all.

Dong Quan was getting anxious. He couldn't die. Although he'd reached the third level, he'd fought for the Ximen family for years, and he'd already used up all three of his resurrection opportunities. But he didn't want to return to the city either. That would be like admitting defeat, like deserting the battlefield. The enemy only had two men, while they had ten in total. He couldn't bring shame to the Ximen family.

"Quanzi, go to the second floor!" Dong Cheng reminded.

That's right! Dong Quan, after hearing his brother's reminder, suddenly understood. He immediately turned and ran back. The road ahead was blocked, but there was another way out.

Go to the second floor! The second floor can be random, even if the enemy chases him, he can fly away randomly. Flying away randomly is not desertion, it is just a tactical retreat, he can catch up quickly.

Dong Quan sprinted forward under the attacks of Brook and Wenren Muyue, his health decreasing. The exit was just ahead, and he rushed forward with a savage charge, accelerating and taking a single step out.

Random, fly. Randomly landed in the upper left corner of the Fire Dragon Zone, with 1800 HP left. Those two guys' Bloodthirst and Skyfire were quite powerful, and they hit me hard. Anyway, I'm safe now. Quickly take some medicine to recover HP and then go back to help.

Just after he drank two bottles of strong sun water and a bottle of strong wound medicine, Dong Quan heard a whooshing sound behind him. He was startled and turned around to look.

Brook! Wenren Muyue!

Bloodthirst! Extinguishing Skyfire!

Damn! I bump into them randomly. Is it such a coincidence?

Only 200 HP left! Fly! Fly! Fly again!

Dong Quan panicked, using random spells while constantly using his treasured regeneration potion, Eternal Snow Frost. This continued until he ran out of random stones and landed in a remote corner. His health finally returned to 1000.

He slumped to the ground and exhaled heavily. He had to return to the city and inform the team. This wasn't desertion, it was just a matter of buying a random number.

Suddenly, the whooshing sound came from behind him again. Dong Quan looked back in surprise.

Familiar figure, familiar skills.

Dong Quan's eyes widened in disbelief. "Bang!" His equipment, backpack, and everything else exploded.

Dong Quan, a retainer of the Ximen family and a third-level warrior, died.

Fighting and dying among monks was commonplace, but before, it was others who died; this time, it was he himself who died.

"Are you okay?" Brook picked up the equipment on the ground, but saw Wenren Muyue still standing there motionless.

"It's okay. Just take it easy." Wenren Muyue was a little uncomfortable as it was his first time killing someone.

When she had previously planned to deal with Tuoba Li during the underground palace trial, she and Brooke had simply blocked Tuoba Li's path and hadn't attacked him. This time, she actually took action.

"This is his choice. Since he chooses to kill others, he must be prepared to be killed by others." Brook comforted.

Wenren Muyue nodded. She understood.

"Let's go back to the Fire Dragon Palace." Brook said.

"Do you want to go back?"

"Doesn't the Ximen family like killing people? Now that things have come to this, I don't mind killing two more." Brook said lightly.

Haotian said that his companions Haochen and Muyao were killed by Ximen Wuque and his gang. And yesterday, Ximen Kongmie killed Lei Ming.

If they can’t beat the old ones, how can they bully these young ones?

Those who kill will always be killed.
