Chapter 512: Chapter 242 Saving The Damsel

Chapter 242 Saving The Damsel

The two floating platforms united once again as they crashed into each other. The impact caused the goblins to lose their balance and fall down, while Qiu Yue did as Jin instructed and ended up unaffected by the collision.

The crash did not hurt Jin, though he couldn’t help but fly forward due to the momentum. He used that opportunity to initiate his Panda Rolling which allowed him to dive and evade the crushing impact, making him head straight into the group of goblins. Thankfully, he utilised less than 20% of panda rolling to move closer towards the goblins, and Qiu Yue did not manage to see his skill in action.

The injuries he incurred by Yun’s moves were still causing Jin a fair amount of pain, but he had no time to heal them, so he gritted his teeth and tried to complete this mission as soon as possible. He was still trying to grasp all the information he just learnt. It was impossible that the System or Yun would come out with such an explicit lie merely to bluff him.

So if she was telling the truth, Jin had to buck up, since it would no longer be purely about being the best dungeon supplier rather it would go above that with his end goal changing to the revival of his bloodline. The System must be projecting a grand outline when he thought about it as he fought with the goblins.

The Tiger Princess Yang Ling, the meeting at the zoo with Ku Wai. It all started to make some sense as to what the System was plotting.

“WOAH!” Ripcaller tried to plunge his two daggers into Jin ruthlessly but Jin barely managed to evade it. “Master, I do not think this is the perfect time to think about other stuff.” Ripcaller, the dagger goblin sent a voice transmission to warn him about his diverted attention.

“I will not go easy on you the next strike.” Ripcaller smiled as he stepped backwards and unravelled his short bow to set loose an arrow towards Jin’s direction.

“Argh, the pain!” Jin wanted to dodge the second time but the pain from Yun’s punishment caused him to stagger, and it was imminent that the arrow would strike him. If he could only move his body sideways to prevent a direct hit from the arrow…Jin closed his eyes as he struggled to move his body.

“Clang!”

The arrowhead was deflected at the nick of time, all thanks to Qiu Yue blocking it by stretching her hand out with her katana. It was a haphazard move which she did not have any confidence that it will help Jin. But Lady Luck was by her side. At closer inspection, Qiu Yue also realised that the arrow was coated with poison which made her saving grace even more vital to save Jin.

“What happened to you?!” Qiu Yue stood in front of her damsel in distress as she saw Jin’s severe wounds while he clutched onto his stomach.

“As you could see, I got beaten up pretty badly.” Jin let out a slight smile and thanked his white knight with shining katana.

“Well, looks like you managed to hold your ground. I thought I was a goner if you did not come and interrupt the battle.” Qiu Yue faced her katana towards the three goblins as they tried to flank and surround the two of them.

“Any bright ideas?” Jin asked Qiu Yue for her opinion since she assumed that Jin was a styleless cultivator.

“The dagger goblin is the most dangerous out of those three. The sword goblin had some fancy swordplay which I think I can win if I concentrate on him. But the spear goblin was brutally disruptive. Seeing your condition, I think it would be best to surrender and retain our honour.” Qiu Yue suggested.

“Retain our honour? What are you some white knight in shining armour?” Jin could not believe she thought of herself in that way.

“Hehe, my damsel. I would rather keep you to myself than have the goblins grab you away.” Qiu Yue played along before she helped Jin to stand up.

“I will try my best to distract and keep the spear goblin and dagger goblin’s attention to me. Heavy DPS on the sword goblin and save me.” Jin decided to play a little more aggressive despite his wounds, and Qiu Yue was rather impressed by his dauntless guts.

“He did change a bit.” Qiu Yue thought to herself before she nodded her head. “Have a good dance, my lady.” Qiu Yue continued to play a fool with Jin which caused him to roll his eyes.

Although he was known as a styleless cultivator by Qiu Yue, she knew that he had a few tricks under his sleeves. That was because Jin had once shown her that he could learn various techniques from other styles without learning the base cultivation. So he was going to take advantage of that information and used his skills as subtle as possible.

“Hey daggers and spear boy, your opponent is me.” Jin beckoned them to come towards him while Qiu Yue charged towards Slashreaver, the sword goblin.

“Your death, your choosing.” Piercestriker, the spear goblin said proudly as he ran towards Jin while twirling his spear from one hand to the other. Meanwhile, Ripcaller was shooting arrows as fire support to prevent Jin from moving close, allowing Piercestriker to gain momentum for his Deep Thrust skill.

Jin held onto his katana and focused on his incoming opponent. His eyes once again glowed with inverted triangles, and his focus was extremely sharp. He could feel the wind, the goblin’s muscle movement and the direction where his spear was going to strike despite the distraction twirling of his spear.

“One hit! That is all I need!” Jin lowered his knees and steadied himself for the evade and parry with the perfectly normal parry slash that he was keeping.

During the fight with Werecat Nyanmi, Jin began to realise that the Perfectly Normal Parry Slash was not random at all. It was based on various factors, and although he could not explain it well, he felt like it was a game of precision.

“Aim your sword at the right spot against the incoming weapon strike and deal the blow against the weapon so that you can deflect at the right time, the skill will trigger.” Jin tried to recall the steps he took.

With the help of his Inverse Eyes, that was what he called it at the moment; he could somehow pinpoint the right place and time for his sword to clash with Piercestriker’s spear strike, allowing Jin’s perfectly normal parry slash skill to trigger. True enough, the ability activated and Jin deflected the spearhead and slid his sword along the pole of the goblin’s spear and straight to his right upper chest.

The goblin shouted in pain but struggled madly as he tried to bite Jin back. A common tactic Jin already knew it would deploy based on various runs he watched. Hence, instead of Piercestriker’s teeth that sunk into Jin’s flesh, Jin’s wakizashi was the one the spear goblin ate, and blood was oozing nonstop.

Jin did a proper cut through the neck when he removed the wakizashi out of the spear goblin’s mouth and pushed him away. He pointed his katana towards Ripcaller and provoked him. Jin was thankful that his pain was numbed by the rush of adrenaline he had upon using Inverse Eyes.

“You are next.” Jin breathed deeply while trying to hide his pain, though it was very obvious to Ripcaller.

“Don’t make me laugh.” Ripcaller rubbed his two blades together to make an irritating scratching noise before he dashed towards Jin.
