Chapter 700: Chapter 63: A Chivalrous Act, Ultimate Killing Strategy_2

[System Prompt: You have sworn an Oath of Divine Punishment.]

Xia Yi the Unrivaled was certainly not acting rashly; he wanted to unlock the true attributes of the Demon Slaying Sword. Before, Xiao Jie had told him that it would require heroic deeds to gain the approval of the sword. Xia Yi the Unrivaled strongly agreed with this, but these days, between slaying mountain bandits and recruiting refugees, the sword showed no sign of any attributes.

Clearly, such ordinary monster-slaying and quest-completing actions couldn’t be considered heroic deeds; otherwise, any ordinary player could have earned the sword’s approval.

Only by performing extraordinary acts, preferably those involving life-and-death challenges, could there be a chance of success.

At this moment, it was the perfect time to prove himself.

Seeing Xia Yi the Unrivaled swear the oath, Cloud Guest also showed a look of admiration.

"What a Xia Yi the Unrivaled! Since that’s the case, I will release these common folk." Having said that, he fiercely flicked his wrist, and whoosh, he threw a dozen flying knives, cutting the ropes binding all the villagers in one swift action.

This display of hidden weapon skills made the faces of all the players change.

Wow, that’s kind of impressive.

But Xia Yi the Unrivaled remained unfazed. With the Dragon Tooth Blade in his left hand and the Demon Slaying Sword in his right, he bellowed—"Come at me!"

————————

Boom! A figure descended from the sky and landed heavily on the cliffside—it was Li Gun, who had flown back from the base of the mountain.

The fall from the mountain top cost him several hundred points of Blood Volume, and together with previous injuries, his Blood Volume was still around 4000.

Li Gun, landing on the cliff and seeing the corpses of mountain bandits littering the ground, especially the horribly mutilated bodies of his brothers, twisted his face in anguish.

"Second brother, third brother, fourth brother! No—!"

He suddenly turned his gaze to the enemies before him; at this moment, Xiao Jie had already arranged the players into a triangular formation specifically designed for Boss battles.

Standing at the front was him, back in human form, with other players arranged in echelon formation based on their Profession, fanning out behind him.

Even though Jiao Long’s form was powerful, its large size was not nimble enough, and when used in the front row to block the Boss, it easily obstructed the line of sight and attack range of the rear remote attackers, leading to friendly fire.

Thus, Xiao Jie simply transformed back into human form.

Of course, the most important reason was that he had a long-planned battle strategy, which he was now ready to try out.

This strategy was originally prepared for Master Hongchen, but now faced with a tough nut like Li Gun, it could be put into practice beforehand.

"All of you... are going to... die."

Li Gun roared, lunging fiercely toward Xiao Jie, the closest target to him.

"Everyone get ready—!" Xiao Jie shouted at the top of his lungs, concentrating his Spirit to the extreme. Just as Li Gun appeared in front of him—

Secret Technique—Illusion Shattering Bubble Shadow!

Swoosh, the Time Stop Domain instantly spread out, and even a Mutated Giant Demon as strong as Li Gun was frozen in place in an instant.

"—Attack!"

The players waiting in formation struck simultaneously. The twenty or thirty people in front could all unleash secret techniques, and now a frenzy of these skills crashed down on the immobilized Boss.

The second row consisted of Magic professions, who were unleashing various spells.

In an instant, all sorts of Sword Wind, Qi Jin Pulse, and Thunder Law Fireballs bombarded the Time Stop Domain, with the colorful Qi and spells overlapping, creating a large, multicolored halo.

The hundred or so people at the back were frantically loosing bows and hidden weapons into the Time Stop Domain.

The dense arrows and hidden weapons entering the Time Stop Domain were all frozen mid-air, like an intricate wall of sharp blades.

And at this moment, Xiao Jie, who had just used the Secret Technique, leaped into the air with a Qinggong maneuver.

When the Time Stop ended, he certainly did not want to be standing in front of the Boss...

This was the Absolute Kill Formation Xiao Jie had concocted—within the five seconds of immobilizing the target, to land as many ranged attacks as possible, and to have the target hit by countless attacks the instant Time Stop ended. If the target couldn’t dodge, no matter how much Blood Volume it had, it could be killed in one hit.

The five seconds flew by in a blink of an eye. Just as Time Stop expired—

Boom boom boom boom pop pop pop pop! A moment of intense explosions all merged into one.

Because the sounds were so dense, they all merged into a bizarre cacophony—Sword Winds, Qi Force Pulses, Fireball Lightning, Arrows, and Hidden Weapons... In an instant, they all struck Li Gun.

In that moment, numerous red characters burst forth, and the tremendous impact sent him flying backwards.

His majestic body was torn apart by the onslaught of attacks, pierced by countless arrows and turned into a porcupine. There were so many Arrows and Hidden Weapons that his body was completely obscured, his true form no longer visible.

Ha ha, this move really works! Xiao Jie watched with satisfaction.

Such a devastating tactic, even Master Hongchen would probably be unable to withstand it.

The only problem with this move is that it requires a lot of manpower, and it must form a very good shooting formation so that participants can deliver as much firepower as possible. Fortunately, now that he is the team leader, manpower is not an issue. The only problem left is the terrain and formation.

The formation today is exceptionally favorable, with very satisfying results.

However—Why is there no system prompt?

A trace of doubt flashed through Xiao Jie’s mind.

"Big Orange, go and check."

"As you command, Master." With a roar, Big Orange approached the ’porcupine’ covered in arrows on the ground.

At this moment, Li Gun was already Near Death. The barrage just now had almost shredded him, it was only by virtue of his tough body after Demonization that he was still clinging to life.

But even so, he had already entered a Near Death state.

(It’s over... it’s all over... I, Li Gun, am going to lose my life here today, along with my brothers. I can’t accept this!)

Li Gun thought desperately and angrily, and as he was in his dying moments, suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind.

(Do you want to live, do you want revenge, do you want to take back everything you’ve lost, do you want to gain true power?)

(I do, I do, I really do!) Li Gun silently screamed in his heart.

The emotionless voice rang again, (Offer up your soul, sacrifice your flesh and blood, accept my will, and I will grant you everything you desire. Are you willing?)

Li Gun’s heart sank. He knew that once he agreed, he would never be the same again.

But the unwillingness in his heart made him throw caution to the wind.

(I—am—willing!)

The moment he silently mouthed these three words, in the darkness before Li Gun’s eyes, a crimson giant eye suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The massive eyeball obscured everything, and countless blood vessels spread from the pupil in all directions. Though the eyeball was motionless, it gave him a sensation of being intensely watched.

In an instant, myriad thoughts surged through his mind: fear, regret, despair, relief, warmth, bliss...

He felt as if he was back in the womb before he was born, floating in the warm amniotic fluid. In that familiar warmth, there was no pain or anger, only peace and comfort until his consciousness completely faded away.

Back in reality,

Big Orange suddenly stopped and arched its back warily.

"What’s wrong?" Xiao Jie asked curiously, knowing Big Orange was usually fearless. Why was it suddenly this tense?

"Master, that thing—"

[System Prompt: Having killed all the leaders of Black Wind Village, the power of Black Wind Mountain has been completely eradicated. The territorial mission [Battle of Black Wind Mountain] is completed.

Your reputation in Luoyang Town has increased by 4,000 points, and it is now Worship.

Your reputation in Fengyin State has increased by 2,000 points, and it is now Reverence.

The Public Opinion Value of Dragon Soaring Country has risen, now it is 85%...]

Huh, did I win just like that?

Xiao Jie let out a breath of relief, yet he was somewhat surprised.

He approached with some disbelief, as Li Gun’s body gradually dissolved into pus and blood. Yet from that decaying corpse, a streak of red light flashed for an instant.

Nobody else noticed, but Xiao Jie was observing closely. That red light was strangely familiar—Time Swapping?

He approached and saw a huge hole in the stomach of Li Gun’s corpse, which was gradually filling with pus and blood. The giant crimson eye that should have been there had now completely disappeared.
