"Gui Guzi!"
"Yes, Boss Broken Halberd! What's up!?"
"You distract the boss and get 10 priests to heal you …"
"What kind of strategy is this …"
Gui Guzi stared at me in confusion.
I explained, "There's no need to rush the boss. Keep her busy while the rest of us take out Baili's Redstone Legion. After that, we'll gather our firepower and kill this Level 200 Immortal Rank boss in 5 minutes!"
"Got it!"
Gui Guzi smiled excitedly. He immediately summoned 10 powerful priests and buffed himself with the bard buff. Then, he used Lu Buyi's stratagem that boosted all stats by 90% and activated Undying Shield. Then, he smacked Baili's waist with his shield and shouted, "Wait, beauty! I have something to say!"
Baili turned around and fired a Barrier Break!
Pfft!
“187267！”
“+93633！”
The frightening damage number almost suffocated everyone, but Gui Guzi was just too tanky. He had the protection of his shield, the 50% damage absorption effect, and 10 priests, including Murong Mingyue and Moon Dew, healing him indiscriminately. Gui Guzi's HP was kept above 50% at all times.
… …
"Alright, let's go!"
I swung my sword and fired Burning Blade Slash into the NPC cavalry on the other side of the wall. Then, I led the Dragonlight Cavalry into a battle of attrition again and again. The Phantom Wolf King's Claw of the Storm and Purgatory Storm became the main pets, and the Ice Dragon Kris wasn't doing too badly either. She was flying in the air and firing dragon breaths at the NPC archers and mages on the wall. The moment they ran low on HP, they were immediately summoned back to Lin Yixin and healed by the priests.
The inner wall wasn't nearly as sturdy as the first one, and it wasn't nearly as tall as the first one. Beiming Xue, Lian Xin, and the others were able to attack the NPCs on top of the wall from below. Both sides were fighting with absolute firepower, and the only difference between the two sides was that the players had better teamwork. Priests were very good at healing, but the NPC army basically didn't have any priests. Their levels and stats were already much higher than the players', and if they had a healer on top of that, it would be impossible for them to survive.
After nearly half an hour of fighting, tens of thousands of Redstone Legion NPCs had turned into Nation War points and EXP for everyone to share. Eventually, there was no longer any resistance. White Horse City was a poor city, so it didn't have many resources to support it. There were only around a hundred thousand NPCs in total, so there was no way they could withstand the combined might of our three major alliances.
Chiang chiang chiang...
Gui Guzi was knocked back and hit rock bottom three times in a row. Murong Mingyue and the other priests were healing him, and he barely managed to pull himself back to full health with Holy Shield. His mount only had 25% tenacity left, and if this continued, he would definitely be killed by Baili.
"Let's go! Kill the boss!"
I turned around and shouted. Then, I led everyone over to the boss. From afar, I waved my hand and used God Binding Art. As expected, a beautiful MISS popped up in the air. It was impossible to bind a boss of such a high level. The rest of the readers looked at me in shock.
"Beiming, why don't you try Well of the Abyss and see if it works?"
"Mn!"
Beiming Xue raised her bow and summoned Well of the Abyss beneath Baili's feet. However, Baili simply smirked disdainfully and stomped the ground with one foot. She unleashed the light of Infinite Domain and shattered Well of the Abyss's attack. Holy shit, Divine General Skills don't work on this boss. Well of the Abyss's 50% HP reduction was almost impossible to achieve against a boss, but Beiming Xue's Divine General Skills were useless against her.
… …
"You're courting death, invaders!"
Baili abruptly thrust her sword forward and sent Gui Guzi crashing into the city wall with a loud clang. Then, she turned around and followed up with a Flame Slash!
Boom!
Li Chengfeng, Chaos Moon and High Fighting Spirits were hit in unison. A series of shocking damage numbers rose above their heads — 90882!
“108345！”
“98238！”
… …
Lu Buyi's eyes were as wide as saucers. "The boss's Attack is way too OP! You guys don't have Gui Guzi's Undying Shield, so there's no way you can tank it …"
My eyes darkened as I stared at Baili, who still had 89% HP left. I raised my sword and charged her. Brushing past her, I thrust my sword diagonally and pierced her throat. This was the boss's weak point.
"Pu!"
"26272. Fans like to read:!"
Baili's Defense was so high that Gui Guzi and his group of mages had only shaved 10% of the boss's HP.
Before I could regain my footing, Baili raised her sword and swung it at me and the Purple Dragon Cavalry players around me. A crack appeared on the Heaven-burning Armor. Not even Immortal-grade metal armor could withstand Baili's attack, and the Purple Dragon Cavalrymen around me screamed in pain as their breastplates shattered. Almost all of their equipment durability had been taken away in an instant.
Beep!
Combat Log: Red Rock?
Baili used "Stone Smash", dealing 49827 damage and reducing the durability of your equipment, [Heaven-burning Armor], by 17%!
That wasn't bad at all. I took less than 50k damage, but the players around me didn't. The Purple Dragon Cavalrymen collapsed to the ground and lost 120,000 to 170k HP. Compared to my Defense, their Defense was just too low, and they didn't have Great Earth Transformation either, so their Defense was even lower than mine.
"Not good!"
Li Chengfeng said in a low voice, "The Boss can break our equipment. Everyone, be careful. Once the durability of our equipment is gone, we won't be able to defend ourselves anymore. D * mn, it's a miracle that Little Gui could last this long!"
Gui Guzi panted heavily as he reorganized himself at the distance. He pointed at his thighs and said, "How dare you! Look, my legguards, boots, helmet and wristguards have all lost their durability. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken such a beating. Goddammit, I'm going to die in front of you if you don't show up soon …"
I hurriedly said, "Beiming Xue, lower the boss's Defense and slow it down. Lian Xin, use Gravity Trap to slow it down, and use Origin Force Field to block the boss's path. We'll cover the melee players and kill this princess of White Horse City in ten minutes! We can't let her get in our way!"
Everyone nodded in unison.
Thud thud. Everyone else, read:!
Two arrows hit Baili's snow-white chest almost at the same time. Purple light and frost gathered around the wound. It was none other than Beiming Xue's Bone Eroding Arrow + Freezing Arrow combo. Both of them greatly reduced the boss's movement speed and gave me more room to maneuver.
Then, the Gravity Trap landed beneath Baili's feet and reduced her movement speed even further. Although the boss had skill resistance, Baili's movement speed was still reduced to 50% or so of her peak speed. Coupled with my Icy Cyclone Domain, our team's teamwork was impeccable.
Ring ring ring...
The bell rang, signaling Lin Yixin's attack. The Moonchaser Tiger let out a low growl as she unsheathed her dagger. While Baili was busy dealing with me, she used Moon Gaze and Extreme Break + Triple Slash to hit the boss's neck!
"This is my chance!"
I turned around and fired Burning Blade Slash + War Crush combo with the Cyan Netherworld Sword, dealing over 30k damage. The combination of Bone Eroding Arrow and Extreme Break was just too powerful!
"Uuuuuu …"
Baili might be an Immortal Rank boss, but she was starting to feel like she was being overwhelmed by a group of top-tier players. Lian Xin's Origin Force Field surrounded the boss and restricted her attack paths. She couldn't use her full strength either.
Suddenly, the Necklace of the War God's Broken Blade flashed, and a vast amount of power flowed into my body. This is the effect of the Broken Blade!
"Bang!"
Baili's body shuddered after the attack, and she was stunned for seven seconds. Tsk tsk, this Immortal Artifact's attack is way too powerful!
Li Chengfeng, Chaos Moon, High Fighting Spirits, and the others saw the opportunity and dashed forward, slashing at the boss and shaving away a huge chunk of its HP. Li Chengfeng had Battle Soul Possession and Great Earth Transformation, so he was able to hold out for a long time. Chaos Moon and High Fighting Spirits retreated immediately after they were done. They didn't dare to fight the boss head-on, and Baili dealt over 100k damage every time she attacked.
… …
In the distance, Beiming Xue's Spiraling Arrow Blades and Lian Xin's Ice Spiral Matrices were becoming the main DPS players. Purple Marquis, Shadow Chanel, and the rest of Sky City's super players had joined the fray as well. Every one of Sky City's super players unleashed their most powerful skills against the boss.
Less than five minutes later, Baili's HP had dropped below 25%. Even an Immortal Rank boss couldn't withstand our overwhelming numbers!
Chiang!
The flaming sword in her hand snapped in half. Flames surged all over Baili's body as she looked up to the sky. Tears flowed from her eyes as she roared, "Gods, grant me the power to slay these invaders!"
Lightning flashed and golden energy rained down from the sky. The next moment, Baili raised her half-broken blade and shouted, "Me?
Baili, offer up the contract?
O fire spirit that sleeps in the snow, devour everything, Blazing Blade God of Slaughter from the Arctic Plane! "
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh...
Streaks of fiery red objects pierced through the clouds and fell straight towards us.
It was a huge sword wrapped in raging flames. The cross-section of the sword was at least a few meters wide. If it fell down and smashed onto a body, how could he still be alive?
I hurriedly charged forward and punched Baili in the shoulder. Unfortunately for her, I could only reduce the Blaze Divine Blade's cast time by 50%, not interrupt it!
… …
Lin Yixin's face was deathly pale as she shouted, "It's over … everyone, retreat immediately! Activate your invincible skills if you have them! Save your own lives!"
