Chapter 519: Chapter 519: Underground Zombie Lord
BOSSâs attack caught everyoneâs attention. The three-foot-long spear tip gleamed with dazzling white energy, leaving a burning trail in peopleâs vision;
âBe careful!â Wang Qi couldnât help but exclaim.
Although Song Jian was taking on the BOSS alone, his every move was being watched by everyone.
Once Song Jian couldnât take the BOSSâs attack, most people in the field would immediately use their last-resort escape skills and flee in all directions;
BOSSâs speed was extremely fast, and Song Jianâs attention was entirely focused on its injured leg. By the time he reacted, BOSSâs spear tip was already less than a meter away from him.
Instinctively, Song Jian placed his sword across his chest, almost reflexively using the âSacred Parryâ skill;
Clang!
A crisp collision sound was heard as the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword and the spear collided fiercely, setting off a large burst of sparks. Taking advantage of the moment, Song Jian executed a backward flip, landing steadily in place. Meanwhile, a damage of over 1,200 points and a three-second stun effect floated above the BOSSâs head;
âAwesome!â
âAmazing!â
â¦
Cheers burst forth from the crowd, knowing that as long as Song Jian could withstand the BOSS, they could draw out and eliminate all the smaller monsters one by one.
âEveryone, split into groups and continue as before, forming four teams to each pull a small monster. Letâs relieve our leader of some pressure!â Li Xiu suddenly shouted.
After Song Jian blocked the BOSS, Li Xiu had been directing everyone to hunt down the smaller monsters;
It was indeed much safer if everyone was attacking a single small monster, and no one would be in danger. However, this method was also very inefficient and couldnât provide support to Song Jian;
Subconsciously blocking the BOSSâs deadly attack, Song Jian instantly boosted everyoneâs confidence, making Li Xiu grow somewhat anxious.
As the commander of this operation, Li Xiu was supposed to be in the spotlight, but if they continued like this, even if Song Jian didnât voice it, he would probably be unhappy with him.
âWe must make a change!â Li Xiuâs mindset quickly shifted, and he immediately made the decision to alter the strategy.
Dividing into four small teams to hunt the smaller monsters was a bold choice, because they dared to do so only when Song Jian was around to protect them in case they attracted too many monsters at once.
But now, Song Jian alone had pinned down the BOSS â in other words, the BOSS had dragged
down Song Jian. If any of the four teams made a mistake, it could immediately lead to a total wipeout;
âSun Li, your team doesnât need to pull any monsters. Act as the mobile team and be on standby for reinforcement!â Wang Qi suddenly shouted.
Li Xiu was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood, looking at Wang Qi with admiration in his eyes.
Even if only three teams were pulling monsters, the efficiency would be improved several times. The additional team was, in fact, playing the role of Song Jian, significantly increasing the safety of the others. With this team in place, the other three monster-hunting teams felt much more confident.
âAs expected of our vice president, your arrangement is absolutely brilliant!â Li Xiu said with a smile as he stood beside Wang Qi.
âAlright, letâs perform well and not let our leader look down on us!â Wang Qi smirked, glancing at Li Xiu with a hint of warning;
Watching the BOSS retreat several steps, Song Jianâs eyes lit up as he glanced at the shattered purple-red gem on its injured leg. Then, raising his left index finger, he sent a silver Sword Qi through the air and directly at it.
BOSS had no way to defend or dodge and could only endure the hit;
If it had hit any other part of its body, the BOSS wouldâve most likely lost only three to four hundred Vitality Points. However, this was its weak point and the injured area;
With a âsnap,â the gem on the inner part of BOSSâs thigh shattered, and a stream of black-red blood spurted out like an arrow;
-1800
A critical damage of nearly two thousand floated above the BOSSâs head. Just then, the BOSS suddenly broke free from its stun state, letting out a heartrending scream, dropping its spear, and clutching at the injured part of its leg as it wailed in pain.
The whole of BOSSâs right leg had become as stiff as a piece of stone, unable to move at all, causing the BOSS to lose balance even while standing.
As it staggered back, the BOSS suddenly fell to the ground, like a wild beast on all fours, its dark, rigid shell on its back flashing with a dark glow.
Roar~
With a roar, the BOSS raised its head and howled, looking like a real beast, its bloodthirsty eyes filled with murderous intent;
âIs this the second phase?â Song Jian narrowed his eyes, guessing internally.
Many BOSSes would go berserk once their Vitality Points were reduced to a certain level. Some would use powerful special abilities, while others would change forms. It seemed that this BOSS belonged to the latter category;
Once transformed, the BOSS lost all traces of rationality and had become a wild beast. Its sole target was to tear Song Jian to shreds;
With a roar, the BOSS charged straight at Song Jian. Although its right leg had become a burden and could only be dragged on the ground, the remaining three legs did not slow down at all;
Seeing the BOSS charging towards him, Song Jian gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with determination!
Immortal Sword Body, activate!
With a soft cry, Song Jianâs body shone with a golden light, his attributes soaring. Slowly orbiting around his body were eight phantom longswords, and even the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword in his hand seemed sharper;
Light Strike!
With both hands gripping the sword, Song Jian raised it overhead, slashing fiercely at the oncoming BOSS. A brilliant golden sword energy drew an arc in the air, heading straight towards the BOSS as if to split it completely in two.
At that moment, the BOSS hesitated in mid-leap, unsure whether to dodge or take the hit. However, it was too late as the golden sword energy rained down on its head;
The BOSS swiftly turned around, exposing its back to Song Jianâs golden sword energy;
Boom!
Amidst the loud explosion filled with power, the entire garage shook violently. Song Jian felt a strong backlash coursing through his arms, causing numbness and almost making him lose grip on his Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword;
Looking carefully, Song Jian saw a deep sword mark on BOSSâs back shell, almost cleaving the whole top shell in half.
A damage of over four hundred floated above BOSSâs head, and just then, the BOSS suddenly counterattacked and quickly approached Song Jian. Both hands reached forward, and its sharp claws madly scratched at him;
Song Jian thought quickly, and the steel wings on his back enveloped him like two large hands, providing sturdy protection;
Clang clang clang clang ~
A series of rapid metallic clashing sounds echoed. Song Jian felt the steel wings violently trembling while a burst of intense pain shot from the connecting point at his back. Biting the bullet and enduring the pain, Song Jianâs mouth corner oozed a trace of blood;
