Swhoosh swhoosh! Everyone else: Normal!
Murong Mingyue healed me twice with Heal.
I raised my left arm and used my shield to block the Blood Blade Ghost General's attack. Then, Lin Yixin raised her Seven Star Veluriyam Sword and swung it three times in a row. It was none other than the Wanderer's Triple Slash skill, and it was one of Lin Yixin's most explosive skills, especially since she was fully geared in top-tier equipment. Not only did she have the Devil Bell, a Cambrian-grade Divine Armament, she also had the Seven Star Veluriyam Sword, a weapon that could be called a divine armament at this stage of the game.
The Seven Star Veluriyam Sword was glowing with a white light that was about five centimeters thick. It was none other than Lin Yixin's unique Holy Energy, and the Killer Wind Swordplay was shockingly effective. Lin Yixin didn't have a basic attack, but every attack she swung was imbued with the Killer Wind Swordplay's effect.
… …
Lian Xin tossed a Gravity Trap at the back and greatly slowed the Blood Blade Ghost General's movement. After that, the Ice Spiral Matrix never left the boss's feet, and the Blood Blade Ghost General let out a painful groan. A divine mage like Lian Xin was a heavily-armored boss, and a heavily-armored boss like it was nothing short of a nightmare.
Beiming Xue was wearing two pieces of the Windchaser set, and she was firing a barrage of arrows at the Blood Blade Ghost General. Her arrows never left the Blood Blade Ghost General's visor, and the blood-red area was the boss's weak point. The fact that Beiming Xue's archery skills were able to maintain such high accuracy while on the move proved that she was one of the best in the entire China server. Not even the two CGL Hall of Famers, Transient Smoke and Clouds and October Rain, could match her.
It couldn't be helped. Every expert had to go through a lot of training, and Beiming Xue was talented to begin with. Her dark archer had never backed down from any of the battles in Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, and the bloody battles had caused her personal strength to skyrocket. In just half a year, she had transformed from an unknown girl into the publicly acknowledged top-tier archer of the China server. In fact, she was even vaguely the strongest archer in the entire game. Fans of the book loved to read:!

"Roar!"
The Bloodblade Ghost General raised his long saber and roared into the sky, "Damn travellers, I shall grant you death in the name of the God of War. Come, let me show you an ancient martial technique — Blood Saber Array!"
"Whoosh!"
The long saber flew into the sky and suddenly transformed into close to a hundred long sabers. The Bloodblade Ghost General raised one of his hands and used his Qi to control the sabers …
"Watch out! Ranged players, retreat!" I shouted. "Yiyi, stay with me and Guard!"
"Oh!"
Lian Xin Blinked away to a safe distance, Murong Mingyue activated her Priest Shield and backed away, and Beiming Xue used Leap to get out of the boss's attack range. Lin Yixin and I took a few steps back, and Lin Yixin held her Seven Star Veluriyam Sword in front of her chest. The dazzling light of the blade made her breasts look even whiter and rounder than before, and I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. The thought that this beautiful girl was my girlfriend made my heart beat faster and faster, and I felt like I was going to suffocate at any moment.
"Stop looking, you bastard! Defend!"
Lin Yixin shot me a reproachful look. Her beautiful cheeks were completely red, and it looked like she knew what I was looking at.
"Oh …"
I took a step back and raised my left arm. The Bloody Fortress Shield immediately appeared in front of me and blocked the boss's Blood Saber Array with ease!
Swhoosh!
Thousands of sharp blades rained down from the sky and hit my shield with a loud bang. Lin Yixin's Seven Star Veluriyam Sword was knocked away by the impact, and both of us took around 20k damage or so each of us took 10 damage or so. It was amazing that both our HP dropped below 25% after the first round of Blood Saber Array. The Bloodblade Ghost General truly lived up to its title as an Immortal Rank boss.
Behind me, Murong Mingyue caught up to me and started healing me from afar. Her timing was impeccable, and she healed me and Lin Yixin for at least 100k HP the moment the Sword Formation passed through us. Lin Yixin's mouth fell open in shock as she exclaimed, "Wah, your healing is so explosive, sis …"
I pursed my lips. "She crit twice, that's all …"
"Mn."
I raised my hand and used God Binding Art to trap the boss. After that, Lin Yixin and I unleashed our Vengeance Attacks and locked onto the Bloodblade Ghost General's aggro after a couple of hits. Thanks to our teamwork, we were able to dodge the Bloodblade Ghost General's ultimate almost perfectly. It was obvious that an Immortal Rank miniboss was much weaker than a true boss, and it was only a matter of time before the Bloodblade Ghost General's death was over.
Our swords shattered the Bloodblade Ghost General's armor, and in less than 5 minutes, the Bloodblade Ghost General's HP dropped to 28%. Now that we had blocked one more Bloody Blade Formation, the boss was officially no longer a threat to us.
When the boss's HP dropped to 3% or so, Lian Xin said, "Hey, everyone, why don't you guys stop attacking? Sis, let big brother Lu Chen kill the boss by himself. This way, the boss's loot will be better!"
Lin Yixin nodded and lowered her Seven Star Veluriyam Sword. She stood beside me and watched me ravage the boss with Burning Blade Slash.
A couple of hits later, the Bloodblade Ghost General finally lost its last sliver of HP and collapsed to the ground. A red soul floated into the air and said to us, "Ahhh, I will never forget the glory of the Dharan Empire's Earth Knight. I will never forget the feast His Majesty bestowed upon me. I will never forget the bitter battle against the undead. Thank you, warriors from afar, for freeing me from the clutches of Devil Calamity. My soul shall ascend to heaven, and I shall no longer be tormented. Goodbye, my dear ones!"
The Bloodblade Ghost General's soul vanished into thin air in the blink of an eye, leaving only a body behind. Underneath the body were the items the miniboss had dropped.
I walked up to the Bloodblade Ghost General's body and pushed it aside. There were a dozen or so stones, some of which could be sold for money like Purple Crystals, and some were socketed gems like Dragonstone Gems. All in all, these gems alone were worth at least 10k RMB. With my Luck, killing a boss like this was a sure-fire way to go.
There were three pieces of equipment: a fiery red battle axe, a metal helmet, and a pair of leather wristguards. I picked up the heavy battle axe and swung it around. Its stats immediately appeared in the air — [Dark Flame Battle Axe] (Earth-grade? Outstanding ★ ★ ★ ★ ★)
Attack: 980 ~ 1340 Strength: + 300 Stamina: + 275 Agility: + 100 Passive: Increases user's Attack by 35%. Outstanding Property: Split. 50% chance to split into 3 to 5 attacks that will deal damage to nearby enemies. Slots: 7. Level Requirement: 175...
It wasn't a bad axe, but it had a Level Requirement of 175. Although its Attack and stats were decent, the Level Requirement was a bit off. The players who reached Level 175 before me were basically the best of the best, and most of them were reluctant to use Earth-grade weapons. The weakest among them was Heaven-grade weapons like Gui Guzi, Li Chengfeng, and the others. That being said, this axe was a good fit for players like Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun and Heaven's Rain.
Thud!
I tossed the axe into my bag and said, "Let's keep this for now. We can dump it in the guild warehouse once we get back to the guild!"
I shot Lin Yixin a glance and immediately changed my mind. "Never mind, let's just dump it in the auction house. We'll split the money we earn after we sell it. We can't let Yiyi suffer a loss!"
Lin Yixin snorted. "Forget it. I'll just dump it in the guild warehouse. I don't need that bit of money."
"Alright then. You're the best, Yiyi …"
"Bastard …"
I continued to look, and the second piece of equipment surprised everyone. It was a helmet, and it was a Dark Steel – grade one at that. Even with my Luck, an Immortal Rank miniboss had dropped a Dark Steel – grade item. This proved that luck wasn't something you could get just because you wanted to — [Wilderness Walker Helmet] (Dark Steel – grade?
Defense: 775, Magic Resist: 500, Strength: + 55 Outstanding Property: Increases user's Physical Defense by 4%. Level Requirement: 175...
The Wilder Walker Helmet rolled to the ground with a thud. I pouted and said, "Fuck, this thing takes up space in my bag. Fans love to read:!"
Lian Xin ran up to the Wilder Walker Helmet and hugged it tightly. She whimpered, "Big brother Lu Chen, this is a boss item! How can you just throw it away like this? Does anyone have a slot? Put it on …"
Everyone was expressionless. A while later, Lian Xin put down the helmet obediently and said, "Fine, fine, fine …"
The last item was a pair of wristguards. The wristguards' stats appeared in the party channel in a flash, and the girls immediately got excited. [Windchaser Wristguards] (Heaven-grade? Outstanding ★ ★ ★ ★ ★)
Defense: 1020, Magic Resist: 900, Agility: + 375, Stamina: + 330, Strength: + 305, Tactics: + 40 Passive: Increases user's attack speed by 45%. Passive: Increases user's ranged physical attack power by 40%. Outstanding Property: Windchaser, increases user's attack speed and movement speed by 15%. Property: Windchaser Set?
Wristguards Introduction: 25,000 years ago, archery was prevalent on the continent. In order to obtain the title of Bow God, various empires started the Bow God War. After the baptism of war after war, a youth from the deep mountains shocked the world with his amazing archery skills. Later on, the world found out that this youth was the incarnation of the Bow God of the Heavenly Domain. Afterwards, the Bow God disintegrated during the War of Gods and Demons, turning his body into five different pieces of equipment. These are the Windchaser Leather Set Equipment Slots: 9 Required Level: 170 Required Reputation: 250000
It was another Windchaser Set! Its stats were so powerful that it could almost defy the laws of Heaven-grade equipment!
"Thanks for this, Beiming. This boss wasn't wasted, hahaha …"
I tossed the Windchaser Wristguards to Beiming Xue, and the girl was as happy as a flower. Now that Beiming Xue had three pieces of the Windchaser Set, she was definitely stronger than before. Her attack power and attack speed alone had increased by at least 70%!
