Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'
Chapter 691: Floor 304 Boss

Chapter 691: Floor 304 Boss

In fact, due to Li Aozi’s low-key travel, the people onboard were still unaware of his identity. Even if he got reckless and swept them into trouble, no one would connect him with the President of Baizhu Star.

But who knew...would the company’s people record and edit the footage?

For a capitalist giant like Velazquez, manipulating public opinion and attacking opponents was one of his best tactics.

Logically, the potential tactics of Velazquez carried substantial risks, and Li Aozi didn’t dare to gamble with his political foundation.

Emotionally, the crew had just united in hatred, standing by Li Aozi’s side.

Nor was he like Leoz, the god of ruthlessness and disloyalty.

"I need to find a way to get outside..."

Li Aozi kept his composure, parrying Nephis’s claws while throwing a counterpunch at her abdomen.

Pop—

Struck at her weak point, Nephis’s body showed no sign of faltering as dark gold Qi Energy instantly surged through her entire nervous system.

—Here it comes!

Li Aozi’s eyes sharpened.

As the boss of Version 4.0, ’Silver Scion’ Nephis had driven away many players. In the end, it took a team of thirty, cycling their offensive, grinding down her health through relentless battle before they could finally defeat her.

Her suppressive power came not only from her absurdly high attributes and terrifying offensive capabilities but also from a gut-wrenching and fearsome mechanic.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Even under the suppressive output of "Bloodline", Nephis, moving with a series of sonic booms, still charged forward, bearing the brunt of Li Aozi’s punches and kicks, and even used her forehead to catch his punches, relying on her Dominator Body to absorb the impact, forcing Li Aozi to retreat a step, and then she charged forward while swinging her fists furiously.

Typical boxers attack by alternating punches to compensate for the frequency of attacks. This method, known as ’Cross Punch’, is actually a compromise by humans because when one hand strikes, the other needs to be lifted to block the face as a guard. This certainly affects the power emitted.

Not so with Nephis.

Once she switched into combat mode, she didn’t show any movement to guard with her hands. Each attack tended to be fiercely simultaneous with both hands, drawing ten brutal trails of blood in the air. Her sharp claws tore open tendons and blood vessels, constantly leaving dripping wounds on Li Aozi’s body.

Tigers, lions, wolves, brown bears, and fierce eagles always strike with both claws at once, maximizing the exertion of power to overwhelm or cleanly kill their prey.

Strength and attack speed were linked; the greater the muscle-generated strength, the faster the burst of speed would inevitably be. Moreover, as a "Barbarian Fighter" of the "Destroyer" class in her Third Transformation, fighting against a "Star Realm Echoer" in his Second Transition, Nephis not only had an advantage in body attributes but overwhelmed him in every aspect, including specialty, talent, and skills.

With her fierce and rapid attacks, Nephis heavily suppressed Li Aozi, whose health points continued to decrease rapidly. He could only defend passively, most of the time trying to prevent his own splattering blood from piercing through mortal bodies.

As for why he didn’t control his opponent and interrupt her combo rhythm—

This brings us to the most disgusting skill of ’Silver Scion’ Nephis—

"Tiger School Bombing Stance"

As a superior practice of the Crane School, the Tiger School had brought body development to inconceivable extents. They could even use Qi Energy to allow the body to temporarily defy physical laws.

One of the related techniques was key to Nephis’s seamless, bombing-like assaults.

The higher the "Constitution" attribute, the longer the Dominator Body duration.

And with Nephis’s whopping 500 points in "Constitution", the result was:

—A super-long Dominator Body lasting 5 minutes and 55 seconds!

Pff...

Dark gold Qi Energy roiled up, flowing between the blood vessels and pulses, a scorching and suffocating hot wind swept across, as if standing alone in a desert under the scorching sun, surrounded by swirling sands.

Just by being near Nephis, one had to continuously endure the intense scorching damage from the dark gold Qi Energy.

Yes, Nephis was not just a tank with high attack speed, immunity to control, and fast mobility.

She could even inflict hybrid damage.

"But still, this isn’t enough."

Li Aozi glanced at his own health bar.

Although Nephis’s output frequency was very high and her damage was considerable,

he was no longer the person he had been five years ago.

In five years, just from the growth provided by "Bloodline," his health points had reached as much as 60,000.

Along with task rewards, normal growth, the optimization of implant gear with gene fragments, and the growth from the "Biochemist" talent—his health points had piled up another 120,000.

What does that mean?

Let’s put it this way, Nephis, with 500 points in "Constitution," along with specialties and talents, had a total of 250,000 health points.

Li Aozi’s total came to 220,000.

Despite his lack of armor and magic resistance abilities, he had a lot of health!

Not only that, although the Arcane Energy was severely weakened under the Higgs Field,

the "Blood Demon Style’s" "Death Link" was continuously sharing the damage inflicted on Nephis.

Nephis’s specialty enhanced her health recovery, but Li Aozi preemptively blocked healing, occasionally sucking a mouthful through "Severing Life."

After a half-day of exchanging blows, to an onlooker, they hadn’t lost much health.

All together, less than three thousand.

As they continued to scrape at each other, Li Aozi felt he could truly scrape the other to death, especially since he could regenerate health and she could not.

Nephis seemed to gradually become aware of this issue as well. Unable to regenerate flesh and her skin’s bruises hard to dissipate, she grew more serious.

"Nephis, delay him a little longer,"

Li Aozi ducked a sweeping blow, countered with a punch to Nephis’s face, who didn’t even flinch, her face sprouting scales briefly, and then she lifted a foot, her toe straight as a bayonet, hitting right in Li Aozi’s chest.

Crack!

Li Aozi felt as if electrified, Qi Energy pouring into his body along her toe, his body spasming momentarily.

[Initiating lineage verification—]

[Sequence 82: Bloodline Activation!]

[Supreme Bloodline, you reign supreme over all creatures!]

"Trying to bind me again, they really have a clear target,"

As Nephis flew forward with a kick, Li Aozi’s figure blurred, his palm emitting a blue glow.

[Canyue activated!]

Dimensional and spacetime class skills would be locked by the Dimensional Anchor, preventing jumps, but Li Aozi had mastered[Canyue]to the mastery level.

A few tricks could still be played.

His blue-glowing palm swept through the air, rendering it two-dimensional, light instantly reflecting from several angles.

In an instant, dozens of afterimages of Li Aozi appeared in Nephis’ eyes. Li Aozi quickly initiated gravity distortion, preparing to repeat the old trick, vanish from sight.

Crack!

Nephis stomped without any hesitation, a Burst of Qi, destroying all of Li Aozi’s afterimages in one go.

"Whoa."

Li Aozi, in his invisible state, brushed by the edge of the shockwave, slightly surprised:

"You seem smarter than five years ago? Can’t even fool you with invisibility now."

But Nephis did not respond at all.
