Chapter 177: Chapter 79 Unmatched Among Peers_3

He stepped forward, while Lauren stepped back, she dared not get any closer.

Suddenly, there was a disturbance behind him, and he turned his head to look.

Kerry had already blocked the way behind him, playing with a dagger in one hand and a butterfly knife in the other.

"Boss Tai Sui, seems like you don’t need my help anymore."

Gao Xin smiled, "To be honest, I didn’t expect the Demon Blade to be this powerful..."

Indeed, he did not know that the blade was so fierce, after all, he had never even touched it.

Gao Xin had only guessed that the blade would be formidable and then designed a deceiving plan around it.

Then he had Kerry hide the blade outside the wall they had blasted open during the previous showdown with Fat Pig.

It seemed as though he had trapped himself in a desperate situation, but in reality, as long as he had a suitable weapon in his hand and enough resilience, he was confident he could survive.

When Kerry would come later, the two could attack from both sides and secure the victory.

Unexpectedly, the Demon Blade turned out to have a plasma blade effect, easily cutting through steel.

This was a massive boost to his combat strength.

You see, Gao Xin was best at various stealth techniques; facing this pack of real wolves, because of his slight build, he was agile but inflicted very low damage.

During the fight with Fat Pig, he did not know how many times he had slashed or punched Fat Pig, and in the end, it was the digestive microorganisms that won him the victory...

Now with the Demon Blade, he did not need to enchant himself to break others’ defenses anymore.

His combat power underwent a complete transformation, and opponents of the same level posed no threat to him.

"Aren’t you meant to be a temporary alliance?"

"Do you know each other from before, or are you from the same gang?"

"Otherwise, why would you be willing to hand over the Demon Blade to him so easily?"

Lauren, with no way to escape and her back against the wall, voiced her doubts.

This wasn’t a team game situation; they from the Viking Gang often stacked games with many players, which is why they could occasionally meet in solo queues.

She never expected that Kerry, who had struggled so much to steal the blade, would be willing to just give it to Gao Xin for nothing.

Gao Xin calmly said, "Although we just met today, do you think everyone is like you, clinging to the blade, unwilling to let go?"

"Met today? Aren’t you afraid he will stab you in the back?" Lauren looked pale.

In her point of view, she could never imagine Kerry hiding the Demon Blade outside the wall and walking away, essentially entrusting his life to Gao Xin.

They made a temporary alliance, and like a disorganized group, they were all wary of backstabbing which she had seen far too many times. Kerry had the Demon Blade in hand and could easily wait for the perfect opportunity, sitting back and watching the three of them fight to the death.

In response, Kerry said sentimentally, "I actually asked him the same question, what if I didn’t leave the blade there as we’d agreed?"

"Lord Tai Sui truly lives up to his name; he said ’then I would just die in vain’."

"So I had to leave the blade there, otherwise he really would have died..."

Excitedly, Lauren said, "Then let him die, you’ve only known him for a day, do you actually care about him?"

Kerry curled his lip, "Idiot, the risk he placed himself in was enough to be easily killed... while you all were still unharmed."

"If Lord Tai Sui died just like that, then I would sooner or later die at the hands of both you brothers too, do you think you would spare me?"

"Compared to that, I trust more that Lord Tai Sui would take me along to survive."

"Because from the very beginning, he was pursuing a path to make as many people as possible survive."

Lauren was stunned – was it that simple?

She could never have imagined that she and her most trusted brother would lose to two opponents who had formed a temporary alliance!

Gao Xin, that madman, in order to build sufficient trust with a temporary teammate, had gambled with his life.

Either he would become invincible with a blade in hand or end up defeated and dead in vain!

To Kerry, a dead Gao Xin offered no advantages, only disadvantages.

Therefore, Kerry would not backstab and even trusted Gao Xin more.

Lauren could understand it, but she found it difficult to accept.

She glared at Gao Xin fiercely: "You... Aren’t you afraid? What if?"

Gao Xin replied calmly, "I will definitely trust what is worth trusting, what is there to be scared of?"

Lauren deflated like a punctured balloon, completely outmaneuvered.

Gao Xin hadn’t even come down from the building when he started gambling with his life, while she, because she harbored hopes of luck and didn’t want to fight to the death, ended up being deceived and losing her blade.

Lauren felt extremely regretful, and then her eyes became crazed.

"Boom!"

She suddenly stood up, her organs overclocking, and a murderous aura enveloped her.

"Come on then, I want to see just how powerful you are!"

Lauren fought desperately, like a cornered beast, furiously attacking Gao Xin.

"It’s too late to fight back now."

"Not daring to fight desperately until you’re in a desperate situation? Well, when you really reach that extreme, the importance of fighting back is reduced to the lowest."

Gao Xin said coolly, as the Demon Blade danced and shifted in his hands.

Swish! Suddenly he moved behind Lauren, the Demon Blade slicing her body at an incredible angle.

"Pfft!"

Lauren was cut into two, her great axe broken and falling as her clothing caught fire.

Her wound didn’t bleed, instantly cauterized into a charred mess by the intense heat.

With one move, Gao Xin sent this desperate true wolf off to meet the Great Spirit.

"Lord Tai Sui is awesome, instantly killing peers, definitely a prospective Wolf King." Kerry exclaimed, clapping his hands in admiration.

Gao Xin retracted the blade and, taking off his opponent’s collar, said, "Am I still just a prospective Wolf King? Not a Wolf King?"

Kerry was taken aback, "The real king, there is only one."

"Only the strongest among the real wolves is a Wolf King; even if others have nearly the same combat power, as long as they’re not in the first place, they are all considered prospective Wolf Kings."

It turned out that being a Wolf King was not an evolutionary level, but merely a title, referring to the strongest of the real wolves.

Maybe in common speech people weren’t so particular and often called unbeatable real wolves at the same level Wolf Kings, but strictly speaking, aside from the official Wolf King, all others were prospective Wolf Kings.

Kerry did not expect Gao Xin to be unaware of this common knowledge and looked at him with astonishment.
