Kacha!
My Arctic Sword of the Nine States was covered in fresh blood as I cut down another bloodthirsty girl. What was interesting was that after these humanoid monsters died, they would always let out a heart-wrenching moan before rolling over and lying on the ground. If they wanted to lie down, then so be it. Their cloaks hung to the side, revealing their dark blue underwear. This put me in a difficult position. The designer was just too wretched.
"Do you guys think Dark Mercenaries, Blood Alliance, and God's Domain will come?" Lin Yixin asked while picking up a card.
Murong Mingyue waved her scepter. "Who knows? These psychopaths can't be predicted with common sense."
I replied, "In God's Domain, Red Maple lost 10 levels to my Unfettered Chant and lost two of his main pieces of equipment. Blue Frost and Purple Thunder lost a level as well, so I'm afraid that they won't come back. Red Maple may be arrogant, but he won't let the odds get the better of him. Especially now that he knows that I have a trump card, Unfettered Chain, he won't come back to give us Scarlet Dragon Arm, at least not right now. His chances of winning against us are just too low, so the smart choice is to find other Chinese players in Bloody Shield Domain and use Scarlet Dragon Arm to collect equipment. Once their levels and equipment are up, they might come back to us."
He Yi nodded. "Lu Chen is right. After Red Maple lost Purple Grape City, they hid in White Ear County … ah, no, I mean Swallow Ear County for a couple of months. A person who can endure to this extent wouldn't come back to die so rashly. It's hard to say what the Dark Mercenaries and Blood Alliance will do."
I smiled. "The Dark Mercenaries might be desperate. Even if they lose 10 levels in this life, it doesn't matter to them because the gap between us and them is huge. Amber Eyes is someone with the guts of a tiger. The possibility of the Dark Mercenaries returning to Bloodthirsty Castle is very high. As long as they can get my Chill of the Nine States, Dragon Suppressing Armor, Azure Dragon Shield, or Carefree Song, they'll have profited greatly."
Murong Mingyue said, "Yeah, the equipment they get in Both Life and Death are nothing compared to Lu Chen's Divine, Ghost-grade, and Saint-grade …"
Lian Xin smiled. "It's fine. If they want to come, then let them. We're just bored …"
I said, "Let's continue …"
…
In the past three hours, we had cleared almost all three floors of Bloodthirsty Castle. We had collected 11 sets of the Moonshadow Walker set, but we still hadn't seen the boss. The only place we hadn't cleared was the central area. If I wasn't mistaken, the old bastard should be there.
I pointed my sword straight ahead and said, "100 yards ahead, the Bloodthirsty Envoy is most likely there …"
He Yi said, "The Bloodthirsty Envoy is an assassin-type boss. Do you guys think Dark Pupils and Observing Fire will be able to see through his stealth?"
Lin Yixin smiled. "It's hard to say."
Beiming Xue: "I don't have enough confidence to see through the boss's stealth anyway …"
I said confidently, "Actually, there's no need to guess. The boss's stats have always been higher than the players'. There's no way we can see through the Bloodthirsty Envoy's stealth. He must have an item like the Ghost Lake Mirror …"
Beiming Xue said, "Then let's get another Ghost Lake Mirror and turn Naughty into a top-tier assassin …"
"That's difficult … The 72 Demonic Artifacts are all unique. Even if they have the same effects, it wouldn't be called the Demon Lake Mirror anymore …"
"Why are you talking so much? Big bro, go ahead and kill the Bloodthirsty Envoy …"
"What a good little sister. I'm going …"
… …
I carefully approached the center of the map with Coldness of the Nine States buffed by Battle Energy Astral Wind. The place was crimson red, and it was very likely that it was the boss's resting place. My war boots lightly stepped on the fallen leaves and fine sand on the ground. In front of me, a light breeze blew through the broken window of the castle, stirring the fallen leaves and sand on the ground. This long-abandoned castle had become the Bloodthirsty Envoy's resting place. However, the environment was advantageous to me. Be it the falling leaves or the light breeze, they could both cause an assassin's stealth to be seen through.
Stealth wasn't invincible, not even with 100% stealth. If I was directly attacked, the stealth effect would immediately be broken. Therefore, my chances were very high...
I gradually advanced forward. Under the illumination of the light in front of me, I saw that the center of the map was a giant plaza. The plaza was covered in all kinds of runes, and it looked like a giant magic formation. At the center of the magic formation was a crystal coffin, and inside it lay a beautiful young woman with white skin. Her eyes were closed, and she had been dead for a long time. She had to be Fateret's daughter. Unfortunately, she was dead...
Next to the crystal coffin, a general wearing battle armor and a blood-colored cape was kneeling on one knee. He was sincerely bowing his head toward the crystal coffin. God knows how long he had been kneeling without saying a word.
I approached him step by step. When I was about 50 yards away from him, I finally saw through his disguise. That's right, it was the Bloodthirsty Envoy. He wasn't stealthy, and he was a heavily-armored assassin. How shameless...
Swhoosh!
The Bloodthirsty Envoy's stats appeared in the party channel, and the girls sucked in a breath of cold air. Finally, the real challenge had arrived. A Level 310 ancient Immortal Rank boss, an absolute challenge — [Bloodthirsty Envoy?
Violet Water] (Ancient Immortal Rank Boss) Level: 310 Attack: 59000 ~ 72400 Defense: 80000 HP: 2,0000,0000 Special Effects: 100% hit rate for stun type skills. Special Effects: Ignores Magic Shield and Invulnerability Shield. Skills: [Air Assassination], [Bloodthirsty Blind], [Crippling King], [Ten Steps of Bloodshed] Introduction: Bloodthirsty Envoy?
Violet Water was once the commander of the ancient Purple Cloud Empire. He was well-versed in assassination and invisibility since he was a child. He was a rare genius in the empire. However, the Purple Cloud Empire lost its royal power in a chaotic war, and the dark race invaded the empire. They ruled the empire in a barbaric manner, and the Purple Cloud Empire was imprisoned in a cage without food or water. At that time, Princess Serena of the dark race lent a helping hand and released Violet Water. Violet Water formed a bandit group in the wilderness to survive, and seven years ago, he snuck into the dark race and took Princess Serena away...
"Keng!"
I slammed my sword into the ground and said, "Bloodthirsty Envoy, your time has come. Do you know that?"
Violet Water didn't turn around, but two daggers, one of ice and one of fire, appeared in his palm. He said in a low voice, "Leave this place, human adventurer. This is not a place you should be. I don't want to kill you. Leave this place, and you will have a second chance at life."
I was slightly startled. It was rare to see such a kind boss.
Smiling, I continued, "That won't do. I accepted Frederick's request, and I must take his daughter away from Bloodthirsty Castle. So, unless you hand over Serena, I will not leave."
"What?!"
Violet Water's body trembled, and he suddenly turned around. His handsome face was full of malevolence, and a pair of blood red eyes stared at me, "You want to take Serena away?
Dream on, I will never hand Serena over to anyone. No matter what price I have to pay, I will never leave her. Unless my life comes to an end, I will protect her forever! "
"Buzz!"
Waves of energy surged from Coldness of the Nine States, and I entered Great Earth Transformation. I said indifferently, "Then I'll have to fight you, Violet Water. I don't want to kill you …"
"You're courting death!"
Violet Water abruptly sprang into action. His Frost Dagger collided with my Coldness of the Nine States with a loud clang. The powerful impact forced me to take a few steps back, leaving a long mark on the stone floor. In the blink of an eye, I rammed my Azure Dragon Shield into Violet Water's armor with a loud bang, and Burning Blade Slash finally whistled through the air. Three consecutive hits shook Violet Water's armor, causing three damage numbers to pop up above his head — 198283!
“223772！”
“273737！”
Damn, a Level 310 ancient Immortal Rank boss is amazing. Without Violet Frost Infusion, there's no way I can break through his Defense!
The corner of Violet Water's mouth curved into a smile. His Flame Dagger flashed, directly stabbing into my chest. At that moment, a scorching heat spread through my body and my vision disappeared. This was the effect of [Blood Blind]. It lasted for 4.9 seconds and couldn't be interrupted.
Puchi!
Judging based on my instincts, I swung my sword and used Violet Frost Infusion to reduce Violet Water's Defense by 31%. At the same time, I used War Crush + Soaring Dragon Suppression. I could only see the damage Violet Water was losing.
The [Azure Dragon Shield] shook and I activated [Azure Dragon Scale], increasing my defense and resistances. Sure enough, half a second later, [Blade Vortex] + [Pierce] + [Armor Break] + [Armor Break] consecutively stabbed into my body. The chain of damage numbers was simply too shocking — — "392984"
“419391！”
“412092！”
“719293！”
“671766！”
It was a combo attack that could've one-shot me. Thankfully, Murong Mingyue and Moon Dew's heals managed to one-shot me, and I used Tenacity of the Dead and the Xuanyuan Art to barely save myself from certain death. At the same time, I used Thousand Ice Slash and froze the purple water for 1.2 seconds. It was way too short!
"Give me the party leader!"
Murong Mingyue took the party leader position and Bright Mirror removed my Blind. Then, she told Lin Yixin to use Bombshell again. It would take me at most 2 seconds to switch between the two skills. When I regained my vision, I discovered that Lin Yixin was fighting Violet Water with Dragon Frost. The stat gap was just too huge, and Lin Yixin's HP dropped below 50% in the blink of an eye. She hurriedly retreated, and I managed to grab her aggro in two or three hits.
Behind me, Beiming Xue and Lian Xin were doing everything they could. Violet Water's max HP was just too high!
"Hah! Die!"
Violet Water abruptly ignored the aggro rule and unleashed a fiery sword aura from her dagger. The sword aura penetrated Lian Xin's Magic Shield and struck her directly. Lian Xin's entire body trembled in shock — 974772!
The near-one-shot attack had petrified her.
"Watch out!"
I shouted, "That's a ranged assassination skill with an attack range of 35 yards. Ranged players, stay 35 to 40 yards away or you'll die instantly!"
Lian Xin retreated with low HP and stuck out her tongue. "What an OP boss!!"
