The Armored Ice Qilin Horse galloped through the corridors at full speed. The Bronze Armor Wolves and Bronze Beasts had already been killed. It had to be the work of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls!
The boss of the second floor had also been lured out. I brought up the world map and saw a dense patch of blue in the distance. Gui Guzi and the others were probably fighting the boss.
… …
After a few turns, I saw flashes of light in front of me. Barrier Break, Galaxy Storm, Greater Heal and so on. At the same time, I heard the roar of a fierce tiger.
At the center of the group was a blood-red tiger. It was as big as the Heaven-stealing Tiger, and it was called Heaven-devouring Tiger. It was a Level 186 Immortal Rank boss, and it was slapping Gui Guzi's shield with its sharp claws. Gui Guzi staggered backward and nearly fell to the ground. Murong Mingyue and the others quickly healed him and kept him alive.
I hurriedly leaped toward it and activated Charge from afar!
Swhoosh!
I successfully stunned it and used God Binding Art again. Maybe it was because I had leveled up a lot, but it felt so good to be able to succeed twice in a row!
Thud!
At the distance, Beiming Xue fired a Bone Eroding Arrow and lowered the boss's Defense even further. My next Burning Blade Slash + War Crush combo dealt almost 200k damage to the boss!
"Roar roar roar …"
The Heaven-devouring Tiger roared angrily as it lost HP at a rapid rate. It was only now that I noticed that Blazing Hot Lips was there as well. Eyes Like Water was attacking the boss, and Stranger of Three Lifetimes was firing icicles at it from afar. No wonder they were killing the boss so quickly. The Heaven-devouring Tiger only had 85% HP left. At this rate, we could probably kill this Immortal Rank boss in 15 minutes or so!
Boom! He Yi swung the Blade of the Earthen Soul and unleashed a five-hit combo, shaving away a chunk of the boss's HP. Book fans also loved to read:.
I looked around and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, everyone's here. Where did Li Chengfeng and Du Thirteen go? They're not daydreaming, are they?"
Gui Guzi said, "They're here too."
"Where are they?" I asked in surprise.
Gui Guzi pointed at the Heaven-devouring Tiger's stomach and said, "Over there …"
"Fuck, the tiger ate them?" I exclaimed.
"Yes."
Chaos Moon said, "This Heaven-devouring Tiger has a devouring skill, so watch carefully. Once the Heaven-devouring Tiger opens its mouth to the size of a gong and turns its mouth into a black hole, it means that it's going to devour you. You need to dodge quickly, or you'll be eaten alive. Li thought that Divine Generals were a big deal, but he didn't believe it. Look, he's been eaten alive.
"Fuck …" I was completely speechless.
He Yi smiled. "It's fine. As long as we kill the Heaven-devouring Tiger, Li Chengfeng and Du Thirteen will be spat out. However, they'll only have 5% of their HP left."
"Okay, then let's hurry up and kill them. Let's try to finish them before the other guilds arrive!"
"Alright!"
…
"Roar!"
The Heaven-devouring Tiger was enraged. It opened its bloody mouth, and a foul stench filled the air. A spiral energy gathered in the Heaven-devouring Tiger's mouth. As expected, it was the prelude to the Devour skill!
"Ah …"
Chaos Moon let out a cry of surprise. She was the one who had attacked the boss the most and focused on its weak spots. Now, she was getting what she deserved. This time, the Heaven-devouring Tiger was going to devour her.
I hurriedly withdrew my sword and stood in front of Chaos Moon. Then, I raised my right fist and punched the Heaven-devouring Tiger's lower jaw with a Magic Piercing Punch. Crimson energy swirled around my right fist.
"Bang!"
The Heaven-devouring Tiger let out a painful howl and stumbled a step backward. I had actually interrupted its devouring skill, but that wasn't the end of it. The Heaven-devouring Tiger opened its mouth and spat out a ball of fire. Fuck, it's an AoE skill!
Whoosh!
Both Chaos Moon and I were hit at the same time. A fan-shaped flame spit hit a dozen or so players at the same time, including Murong Mingyue. Thankfully, she had Priest's Shield active, so she wasn't one-shot. Chaos Moon and I, on the other hand, took direct damage and lost a huge chunk of HP!
“28872！”
“58785！”
My Magic Resist was much higher than Chaos Moon's, so I didn't even take half of her damage. However, the Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen behind me were still caught in the flames. The continuous damage wasn't something they could endure. Even with Chaos Moon's high Magic Resist, she still lost almost 60k HP. Some of the Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen lost almost 100k HP in an instant. The importance of Magic Resist was instantly revealed.
… …
I waved my hand and used God Binding Art to bind the Heaven-devouring Tiger once more. My Phantom Wolf King pounced at the tiger's tail while Gui Guzi, He Yi, Chaos Moon, Xu Yang and the rest of the party also attacked the boss with everything they had. Fireballs, wind blades and arrow blades rained down on the boss's body. Lu Buyi was the leader of the party, and he was buffed by Purple Dragon, a stratagem that increased all stats by 100%. He was incredibly powerful, and I was afraid that only a party like ours could take down this Immortal Rank boss!
Lu Buyi stood next to Murong Mingyue. He wasn't like some unscrupulous tactician who would happily slack off after activating his stratagem. Lu Buyi waved his Iron Bone Fan as energy swirled around his body. Dragon Vein Art burst out of the ground and engulfed the Heaven-devouring Tiger, dealing around 4000 damage or so with each hit. In fact, when Gui Guzi's HP was low, Lu Buyi waved his Iron Bone Fan and sent a green beam of light over 30000 HP into Gui Guzi's body. It was a high-level tactician skill, Blessing. It was a skill that increased the target's HP by a certain percentage. Although its healing output was far inferior to a priest's, it was still pretty useful.
"Thanks, Buyi!" Gui Guzi laughed.
Lu Buyi raised his Iron Bone Fan and laughed as well. "No need to be so polite, we're brothers!"
Chaos Moon swung her sword and used Rock Crush, causing the boss to howl in pain. Then, she said confidently, "We're good friends!"
Lu Buyi and Gui Guzi turned red in unison. "Nonsense, we're not!"
Chaos Moon continued to kill the boss calmly. She said calmly, "An explanation is a cover up!"
Gui Guzi and Lu Buyi gritted their teeth, but there was nothing they could do. Chaos Moon was the most important female player in Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls after He Yi, Murong Mingyue, and Beiming Xue. She was a flamboyant queen, but she looked like an innocent little girl on the outside. Every male player in Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls couldn't help but hate her!
… …
"Hurry up, the boss only has 40% HP left …" He Yi said to boost morale, "Everyone, keep it up! Let's finish it in 5 minutes!"
It was at this moment that a beautiful figure appeared on the outskirts of the battlefield. It was none other than the assassin Cute Little Naughty. She looked behind her with a grim expression and said, "Not good! A bunch of Seven Star City players have appeared to the east, and Candle Dragon, Thunder, and Silver Soul are closing in on us from the south. I'm not too sure about the other directions, but … enemies are everywhere. They've already killed the Bronze Armor Wolf and are heading our way!"
"What should we do?" Murong Mingyue asked in astonishment.
He Yi said resolutely, "Lu Chen, Chaos Moon, you guys stay here and kill the enemies. Gui Guzi, bring a couple of Dragonlight Cavalrymen and follow me. We'll hold off the enemies outside the Heaven-devouring Tiger for the next five minutes. This boss is ours, and no one can take it away from us. Everyone else, just watch as normal!"
"Mn!"
Our beautiful guild leader led the way and left. On the other side of the battlefield, several hundred Dragonlight Cavalrymen arrived from the first floor. Frustrated that most of them couldn't make it to the next floor, they went to look for priests to heal them from afar. The Dragonlight Cavalrymen made it to the middle of the trap formation and charged toward the boss from all directions. That was why even more Dragonlight Cavalrymen appeared on the second floor of Nine Tigers Soul Suppressing Tower from all directions. I heard that a hundred or so Dragonlight Cavalrymen had gathered at the southeast corner and were charging toward the boss. They would be a great help to us.
… …
Rustle rustle...
A black figure slowly approached the boss, and I used Dark Pupils to identify him. It was none other than a high-level assassin from Hegemon Palace!
"Trying to steal the boss?
Or the Tiger Soul Essence? "
I was a little surprised. The assassin was a little too bold to sneak in right in front of so many experts of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. Wasn't he courting death?
I was about to attack when the Heaven-devouring Tiger suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed the assassin whole!
Puchi!
The assassin couldn't react in time and was swallowed whole by the Heaven-devouring Tiger!
"Another one …" Chaos Moon looked panicked.
"An entire Mad Dragon party was devoured by it after we got here, and then it ate so many of us. Just how much does this Heaven-devouring Tiger want to eat …"
Suddenly, the Heaven-devouring Tiger let out a howl of pain and raised its tail high into the air. It had eaten too much, so it actually pulled out something black!
Everyone looked closely and were immediately dumbfounded. A person had actually been pulled out. It was Night Sorrow of the Mad Dragon guild. He used to be a member of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, but later defected. Fans still liked to read:
Night Sorrow only had 5% HP left, and that was all he had left after the Heaven-devouring Tiger devoured him.
"Kill him!"
I ordered in a low voice. Beside me, Xu Yang sent the dumbfounded Night Sorrow back to the city with a swing of his sword. Mad Dragon was our mortal enemy, and Hegemon Palace and Mad Dragon had attacked our Dark Moon City while we were fighting Burning City. There was no reason for us to let them go now.
Then, the Heaven-devouring Tiger continued to devour the melee players. Chaos Moon and I were able to dodge the Heaven-devouring Tiger's attacks, but the others weren't.
Finally, after the Nth person was devoured, the Heaven-devouring Tiger let out a growl and spat out something.
Swhoosh!
Three draconic patterns appeared around the object before it hit the ground. They transformed into three cyan swords and activated Great Earth Transformation. It was none other than Li Chengfeng!
Turning around, the Dragon Warrior flew into a rage out of humiliation. He thrust his sword forward and unleashed Dragonbone Thrust and Dragonblade Revolution!
At the same time, Murong Mingyue, Moon Dew and the other priests healed Li Chengfeng back to 5% HP. Clearly, Li Chengfeng hadn't expected to be devoured by the Heaven-devouring Tiger, and he wanted to die when he saw everyone staring at him. That was why he ignored them and used his AoE Dragonblade Revolution!
Boom boom boom!
The Heaven-devouring Tiger let out a cry of pain and collapsed to the ground.
"Huala …"
It didn't drop any equipment, but a bunch of people. They were all Dragonlight Cavalrymen, and all of them had 5% HP left. Du Thirteen was one of them. They were all pitiful people who had been devoured!
