Chapter 492: Knight’s Duty (2/2)
Coldblade abruptly turned around and slashed me across the chest. The pain was so terrible that I could feel it in my bones, and a terrifying damage number popped above my head—
19007!
Fuck! If I hadn’t equipped the Soul Suppressing Cloak, that attack would’ve one-shot me one hundred percent!
Li Chengfeng knocked me over to safety and took over my spot. Then, he stabbed the boss's chest four times in a row using Dragonbone Flurry and Cyan Dragon Horn—
107!
121!
99!
201!
High Fighting Spirits immediately exclaimed in shock. ”What the fuck! Even Li Chengfeng can only hit him for triple digits…”
Coldblade bent his elbow and began summoning a thick column of storm around his blade. It looked like he was going to attack us at any moment!
”It’s an AoE skill! Dodge it!”
I shouted, grabbed High Fighting Spirits’ chain armor and pulled him to the side in one swift motion. At almost the same time, Coldblade unleashed waves of storm energy at where we were a moment ago and annihilated everything within a straight line. The terrible power gorged the earth and killed a dozen or so players instantly, including Chaos Moon and Moonlight Stone. In the end, the girls weren’t able to survive until the end of the tenth monster wave.
Coldblade roared again and raised his arm. This time, a beam pierced the sky and brought a fucking hurricane that looked like it would engulf everything. This attack was most definitely going to be worse than the last one!
Lin Yixin’s face was deathly pale. ”Stop him!”
She hit Coldblade with Extreme Break, but it wasn’t enough to interrupt the Immortal Rank boss. I appeared right behind her and gathered a circle of red energy around my fist. Leaping into the air and bending my waist a little, I threw everything I had straight at the boss's chest!
”Magic Piercing Punch!”
7983!
My skill successfully interrupted Coldblade’s skill, but the boss only grew even angrier. He tried to rush me with his sword.
It was at this moment High Fighting Spirits stepped forward bravely to face the boss. Swinging the Invincible and looking like he was about to explode, he slammed into the boss's waist and shouted the Xiezhi Howl. His energy took the savage form of the Xiezhi Beast and tore into the boss's torso! At that moment, he looked like nothing could stop him!
The threat changed to High Fighting Spirits immediately. Coldblade threw me aside and attempted to kill the brave barbarian warrior!
Bang!
A gigantic shield slammed into the boss's face as Gui Guzi arrived on his Armored Steelback Dragon! Not only did he save High Fighting Spirits, he tanked all three slashes from Coldblade!
Chiang chiang chiang!
Coldblade’s sword caused huge sparks on his shield and nearly mangled the equipment. The three deep gashes on the steel were a testament to the boss's attack power. Even against him, this triple-hit combo would have taken his entire HP bar if he wasn’t Guarding, and if Lin Yixin hadn’t added him into her party in time to buff him with Bombshell.
Gui Guzi withdrew as two beautiful women covered his retreat. It was He Yi and Lin Yixin standing shoulder-to-shoulder and getting ready to counter the boss's next devastating strike.
Chiang chiang chiang…
It only took Coldblade a couple of hits to send Lin Yixin stumbling backward with barely a sliver of health. He Yi fared slightly better because she had a shield.
Seeing that the situation was critical, He Yi elbowed Lin Yixin in the side and knocked her away to safety. The next moment, Coldblade’s stormy energy engulfed He Yi and her Snow Domain Windchaser completely!
39842!
My heart shivered. It was a critical hit! Who would’ve thought that our guild leader would come this far only to be one-shot by the boss...
Lin Yixin just stood there and stared at the place He Yi died. She looked completely lost for a moment.
I ran forward and picked up the wristguards He Yi had dropped when she died. Then, I wrapped an arm around Lin Yixin’s waist—her Mount Tenacity had been emptied during the duel with Coldblade—and pulled her to the back. At this point, it was clear that this battle was completely beyond our ability. We failed to do any real damage to Coldblade, but Coldblade absolutely had the power to kill all of us!
”Sister He Yi, she…”
Lin Yixin looked at He Yi’s bloody, lifeless body again with a complicated expression. ”Lu Chen, I…”
I gave her a reassuring smile and said, ”It’s fine, Yiyi. we’re allies, aren’t we? You’ll save Eve too if she’s in danger. It is a knight’s natural duty to protect their comrades, and Eve is slowly but surely getting there.”
”Mn, sorry. It’s all my fault…”
”It’s nothing, so please don’t feel guilty. Seriously, every time you feel guilty I feel like I owe you a lot of money.”
