Chapter 275: Chapter 88 Perils Abound - A Fine Line Between Life and Death_3

"Crap, save me, Feng!" Dongfang Sheng screamed, suddenly being dragged toward the Corpse King.

Phantom Traceless!

Xiao Jie instantly teleported next to the Corpse King, and just as the Corpse King reached to bite Dongfang Sheng, Xiao Jie chopped at the Corpse King’s left arm.

One Cut, Two Pieces—swoosh!

With that strike, the Corpse King’s arm was actually severed, triggering the Limb Cutting effect.

Xiao Jie himself was startled, both shocked and delighted.

He hadn’t expected that bosses could trigger Limb Cutting. He had always subconsciously believed that bosses differed from little monsters; relying on skills would likely be futile and Limb Cutting would be impossible.

This notion stemmed from his decade-long career in online gaming, where virtually all bosses completely surpassed little monsters in mechanism, and most control skills were ineffective against bosses, let alone Limb Cutting, which could significantly reduce a boss’s power.

Yet, it had indeed successfully been triggered.

(It must be the Silent Annihilation Blade! It enhanced the Limb Cutting effect of One Cut, Two Pieces—truly a Supreme Sword Technique.) Xiao Jie quickly came up with the answer in his mind, and the next second, the Corpse King roared and tried to grab him with its remaining arm, obviously some kind of Throwing Skill.

Xiao Jie dared not tangle with the Corpse King; his blood volume was only 200, and he wore mix-match cloth and leather, offering low defense. A strong hit could possibly finish him.

He hurriedly rolled under the Corpse King’s crotch—this was no time to roll backward. The Corpse King, being large and having long limbs, had a wide attack range, making it hard to roll out of its attack zone.

This game’s roll had no invincible frames; if he rolled incorrectly, he would still be caught.

Better to roll under its crotch.

The larger the size, the weaker the groin, an everlasting truth.

The roll indeed dodged the Corpse King’s Throwing Skill, rolling from beneath its crotch to behind it. The Corpse King tried to turn back to grab Xiao Jie, but unexpectedly, four or five long spears thrust fiercely at it, causing a slight stagger. Taking advantage of this, Xiao Jie stood up and struck another One Cut, Two Pieces on the Corpse King’s back, then directly performed Phantom Traceless to escape.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Sheng also took the opportunity to roll and crawl into the back of the square formation.

Whoo, whoo, ahh!

The heavily injured Corpse King let out a terrifying roar. At this point, its blood volume had dropped to 30%.

Corpse King’s Power—Fury of Corpse Blood!

Its physique suddenly expanded, its originally sinewy blue-black body turned dark red as if injected with adrenaline, its muscles rapidly swelling, looking monstrous like a demonic bodybuilder.

"Not good, the BOSS is going berserk!" Xiao Jie urgently shouted a warning.

Indeed, there was no need for his warning as everyone was aware, but even so, there was no remedy. At this moment, no one dared to engage the BOSS up close, since death here meant actual death. They all kept their distance, shooting arrows, none daring to engage in melee combat.

Even the group of generals holding the line instinctively stepped back, albeit not fleeing, they obviously faltered.

In the face of death, guild discipline could not be maintained after all, as they were just a group of players, not real Iron-blooded Warriors.

Only Hidden Dragon Do Not Use directly went to confront it head-on with a Big Move.

Secret technique—Dragon Stirring Sea Style!

His long spear spun and danced in his hands, a dragon-shaped vigor slowly forming around him; finally, with a swing of Hidden Dragon Do Not Use’s long spear, the dragon-shaped vigor roared towards the Corpse King.

The Corpse King directly charged at it, boom!

The powerful dragon-shaped vigor instantly dispersed, and although it knocked off more than a hundred of the Corpse King’s health, it barely paused before charging at Hidden Dragon Do Not Use.

A claw came crashing down, bang! -158!

It sent him flying.

That claw took away a quarter of Hidden Dragon Do Not Use’s blood volume. He was already afflicted with Corpse Poison and was not at full health. After the hit, he was severely weakened.

Before he could even get up, the Corpse King again pounced toward him, clearly determined to take down this obstacle.

"Leader!"

"Protect the leader!" The people around shot arrows and thrust spears, attempting to kill the Corpse King, but its Corpse Stiffness Refinement granted it 70% resistance to physical damage, and its boiling corpse blood increased its Attack Power by 50% and made it immune to resilient damage. These attacks couldn’t stop the Corpse King’s charge at all.

Several close guards did charge forward but were struck by the Corpse King and sent flying like advertising billboards.

Xiao Jie gritted his teeth, determined to fight at all costs!

Phantom Traceless—He instantly positioned himself in front of Hidden Dragon Do Not Use.

Just as the Corpse King’s paw was coming down.

Secret technique—Illusion Shattering Bubble Shadow!

The invisible power of time illusion spread instantly, freezing the Corpse King mid-air, its claws only two feet away from Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie didn’t hesitate.

Gale Saber Technique—I chop, chop, chop, chop, chop!

The blade continuously struck the Corpse King, but each chop inflicted only a dozen or so points of damage.

Damn, it’s so freaking tough!

Just moments ago, Xiao Jie had been cursing at the generals for not being able to kill a single Corpse King quickly, and now he realized it was truly tough to chop through.

One Cut, Two Pieces! The final chop did manage to cause a significant amount of damage, a full 38 points, but without the boost from Silent Annihilation Blade, the entire series only inflicted 239 damage.

Before the Corpse King could strike him, Xiao Jie instantly used Phantom Traceless to flash to the side!

Having used all his secret techniques and saved Hidden Dragon Do Not Use, he had done his utmost.

Fortunately, these five seconds allowed Hidden Dragon Do Not Use to pull away in time, taking some potions to regain some blood volume.

However, facing the now unrestrained Corpse King, even Hidden Dragon Do Not Use faltered—taking potions and detoxifying took time, at least a dozen seconds were needed to fully recover and remove the Corpse Poison. Meanwhile, the Corpse King still had over four hundred Life Value left, its momentum unmatched by anyone.

Before the others managed to kill the Corpse King, they were likely to lose two more members.

Just as the Corpse King was about to charge at the nearest player, a shadow silently appeared behind it, bringing a gleam to Xiao Jie’s eyes—it was Ye Luo!

Ye Luo brought her hands together, forming a Magic Seal, and the surrounding darkness gathered into her hands like black silk threads.

Ghost Curse Technique—Soul Binding Lock!

With a flick of her wrist, that substantial mass of darkness transformed into a black chain that snared the Corpse King completely.

This move was quite unexpected, especially for the other players, given Ye Luo’s low profile in the guild, generally only blending in without making mistakes or standing out particularly.

Especially her profession, no one really knew what a Nightwalker was; most thought it was probably some variant of the assassin profession.

It was unexpected for her to suddenly deploy such a strange Skill.

"I can only hold it for 10 seconds, attack now!" Ye Luo said coldly. The Corpse King roared, struggling fiercely, and the black chains on its body twisted as if about to break at any moment.

The others dared not relax and threw all their Big Moves at the BOSS.

Meteor Chasing the Moon!

Dragon Stirring Sea Style!

One Cut, Two Pieces—Sky Splitting Flash!

Long Spear Thrust!

Long Spear Thrust!

Long Spear Thrust...

Bang! Only five or six seconds passed before the black chains suddenly dissipated, but the Corpse King’s Blood Volume had finally depleted.

It roared loudly and finally fell.
