"I say, Lin Zheng, we're not here for tourism, are we?!" Yang Qi's eyes widened as she watched Longxue, who was currently sweeping through enemies not far away. Longxue was too fierce, directly charging into a large group of Undead Archers. With every swing of her sword, she harvested one Undead Archer after another. What was most exasperating was that the Undead Archers' attacks passed directly through her body, unable to cause her any damage at all! In the time it took Yang Qi to say that, Longxue had already killed three more Undead Archers! It seemed it wouldn't be long before all the Undead Archers here would be swept clean by Longxue.
Lin Zheng didn't answer, but instead opened the map to take a look. This was already the end of the Crimson Valley. The path ahead had very little space, so it was unlikely for groups of monsters to appear. It was more probable that a boss or something similar was guarding it.
"Alright, stop complaining. It's rare to just spectate a fight. What, you're not happy about it?" Lin Zheng said grumpily to the grumbling Yang Qi. Yang Qi rolled her eyes and said:
"Spectating is only good if you get experience points from it. Look at us now, we haven't gotten any experience!"
"Then do you think we can charge through without Longxue's help?!" Lin Zheng pointed at the Undead Archers not far away and said, "Those things have an attack limit of 3200. If they unleash a volley..."
..." Yang Qi was speechless. Indeed, the Undead Archers ahead were a bit abnormal. Although it wasn't impossible to withstand and kill them, the key was the time and effort it would take. Especially since the resistance time for Tier Suppression was only 1 hour. If they couldn't eliminate the Undead Archers after 1 hour, then it would just be a full table of tragedies!
"We're probably going to kill a boss. Otherwise, giving us a buff that ignores Tier Suppression just for us to spectate doesn't make much sense!" Lin Zheng looked at the Undead Archers that Longxue had almost completely wiped out. Yang Qi nodded and said to everyone, "I think the boss's level will definitely not be lower than level 60, and this is an elite monster map, so the boss's grade must be at least Dark Gold. Even without Tier Suppression, its abilities will definitely be terrifying, so everyone be careful!"
As she spoke, Longxue had already killed all the Undead Archers and rushed forward impatiently. Seeing this, Lin Zheng and the others quickly followed. After turning a corner, the last section of the Crimson Valley finally appeared before them! Seeing the situation in this last section of the valley, Lin Zheng couldn't help but be stunned. In front of them was a circular altar, with an eerie blue flame burning in the center of the altar. A shadow could vaguely be seen struggling in the flame, but there was no sign of any monster, let alone a boss! Could it be an error in judgment? Were they really just here for a stroll?
"Linglong—" Before Lin Zheng could figure out what was going on, Longxue had already cried out in sorrow and rushed towards the altar. It seemed that the soul suffering in the flames in the center of the altar was Linglong's! Seeing this, Longxue was overcome with grief and immediately wanted to rescue Linglong from her suffering. But at this moment, Yang Qi's expression suddenly changed drastically! She shouted, "Longxue, be careful!"
"What?" Longxue was slightly stunned. In that instant, a black knight statue hidden in the corner of the altar suddenly exploded. From the Explosion, a longsword burning with crimson flames suddenly stabbed out, piercing through the unprepared Longxue and lifting her into the air, where she hung motionless! Lin Zheng and the others were greatly alarmed. Could Longxue have been killed just like that? At this moment, a harsh, owl-like laugh rang out, coming from the location of the knight statue. When the dust from the Explosion cleared, a knight in black armor, wielding two swords, appeared before everyone. He was riding a Nightmare whose entire body was burning with crimson flames, looking quite imposing. He clearly had the air of a super boss!
Crimson Lord · Lu Feng SS, Physical Attack 4240-5450, Physical Defense 1500, Magic Defense 1400, HP 850000, Skills — Charge, True · Flame Slash Lv3, Thunder Stomp! A great lord from a thousand years ago, greedy and lawless, he was killed by the curse of Linglong, the Valley Master of Peach Blossom Valley. Due to his powerful strength, the Undead Knight he transformed into after death still possessed consciousness, commanding all Undead in the Crimson Valley. However, he was restricted by the curse and unable to leave the Crimson Valley.
The boss's powerful attributes stunned Lin Zheng and the others! An attack limit of 5450, and a defense as high as 1500. How were they supposed to kill it?! Just as Lin Zheng and the others were getting headaches, Lu Feng roared savagely, "It's not in vain that I waited a thousand years; I finally got your slut's soul! It's all your sister's doing, forcing me to be trapped here for a thousand years~!" After roaring, Lu Feng let out that unpleasant, owl-like laugh again. "But it doesn't matter now. As long as I devour you, I'll be able to break through this damned restriction in Peach Blossom Valley, and then I'll rule the entire world with my immortal body!"
"Damn it! Another lunatic trying to conquer the world!" Lin Zheng looked at Lu Feng with great disdain, but then saw Lu Feng suddenly move Longxue, who was impaled on his sword, to his face and open his mummified mouth as if to bite down. Lin Zheng and the others jumped in fright! If Longxue was bitten by that monstrous mouth, she would be dead for sure! Yang Qi immediately pounced forward, "Giant Sword Strike!" A massive sword energy fiercely struck the Nightmare's body, -2850! It floated up from Lu Feng's head, and at the same time, Lu Feng was repelled. The soul-state Longxue lightly detached from the crimson flame sword, escaping Lu Feng's monstrous mouth.
"Damn it! Are you the helpers that slut found?! I originally wanted to deal with that slut first before properly greeting you, but since you're so impatient, then go to hell!" Lu Feng roared and launched a charge. The Nightmare galloped towards Yang Qi, but there was a bit of distance, enough time for Yang Qi to prepare. Just as Lu Feng was about to collide with Yang Qi, Yang Qi had already dodged Lu Feng's charge with a Z-step and then turned back to land a sword strike, -1450. This damage made Yang Qi's mouth twitch. With 850,000 HP and such little damage, how long would it take to defeat him?!
"Bang!" Lin Zheng shot an arrow at Lu Feng, -1810, suppressing Lu Feng's HP recovery and even causing a shattered armor status! Good opportunity! Yang Qi immediately launched a Shadow Raid, -3560, "Fury Slash!" A sword strike landed, and it actually triggered the "Three-Legged Crow" attribute, causing three damage numbers to float up instantly: -5890, -5680, -5790. Powerful! Yang Qi inwardly cheered, "Awesome!" She immediately retreated, leaving the burning boss to lose thousands of HP per second. The power of "Sun's Fire" was fully demonstrated when facing a high-HP boss. Currently, Lu Feng was losing over 8000 HP per second! Much more effective than Yang Qi hacking away herself! With 10 seconds of burning time, it was enough for Lu Feng to lose tens of thousands of HP! However, "Sun's Fire" is only powerful when the boss's HP is full. Once the boss's HP decreases, it's not very effective!
