Chapter 529: Golden Barrier Blade (1/2)

9092!

Her blade split apart some of its scales, but that was all. As it turned out, the One-horned Golden Dragon was so tough that even He Yi’s Barrier Break couldn’t do more than 10k damage. This was terrible considering that her skill was at max rank, meaning that it ignored 70% of the boss's Defense!

Swhoosh!

The One-horned Golden Dragon abruptly shook its head back and forth, turning its golden horn into a deadly weapon. The next moment, the horn penetrated He Yi’s shield and sent both her and her warhorse flying! Her mount tenacity was emptied in an instant, and the Snow Domain Windchaser vanished before it hit the ground. A ridiculous damage number popped above her head as He Yi herself rolled across the grassland—

20192!

She was nearly one-shot. That skill was the boss's Dragon Blade, and it was as powerful as its name suggested. Even He Yi was incapable of withstanding a direct hit!

……

Meanwhile, Gui Guzi had moved in front of the boss and left a couple of gashes around its chin. However, everything except Barrier Break only did around 500 damage or so. He Yi had already proven it earlier, but the boss's Defense was seriously too high.

At the distance, I raised my sword and executed the God Binding Art. Four gigantic divine weapons instantly descended from the sky around the boss, red lightning connecting all of them together. The boss was trapped and immobilized instantly.

Nice, the God Binding Art was a success. This meant that the boss wouldn’t be able to do anything for 15 seconds straight.

”This is our chance!”

Li Chengfeng ran toward the boss and executed a Barrier Break + Dragonbone Flurry combo immediately. However—

7011!

372!

321!

335!

”WTF…” Li Chengfeng’s eyes turned as wide as saucers. ”Surely my attack power isn’t that low? God dammit, it’ll take me forever to kill this boss!”

Blitz increased his attack speed but not his Attack. The moment he ran into a powerful boss like this, his Blitz immediately became a liability. The wise dragon warrior immediately changed his stratagem out for an Encourage VII so that his almost 180 Tactics would boost his Attack by 54%.

I had moved behind the boss while all this was going on, and an Eight Trigram formation appeared beneath my feet. Indigo flames wreathed around my sword, I stabbed the One-horned Golden Dragon right in the butthole. It was so much pain that the boss reflexively lifted its hindlegs. I then followed up with a triple-hit Burning Blade Slash—

15782!

1402!

2743!

5192!

……

Xu Yang curled his lips. ”Fuck, Lu Chen’s Martial God is the GOAT in this situation…”

Chaos Moon said, ”Lu Chen’s the OP one here, not Martial God. Look at Chengfeng, he can only do a couple hundred damage per hit…”

Li Chengfeng complained, ”WTF guys, praise Lu Chen all you want, but don’t insult me in the process…”

When 6 seconds were up, I used Universe Break again. This time though, I followed up with a Pardon and a basic attack instead—

16029!

MISS!

15092!

This was it. I should’ve known sooner that Pardon X would be way more useful than Burning Blade Slash in this situation. If I used Pardon first and Universe Break later, no amount of Defense would be enough to stop me. That being said, I wasn’t going to do that. It would be a waste of potential damage and generally not worth it.

At the back, Beiming Xue, Moonlight Stone, and the others bombarded the boss with arrows and magic, but the amount of damage was pitiful to say the least. Beiming Xue was the only archer who could consistently deal over 1000 damage to the boss. Everyone else only dealt single-digit—1, 3, 7 and so on—damage unless it was an armor penetration skill like Devil Piercing Arrow. It wasn’t even good enough to cancel out the boss's HP regeneration.

On the other hand, our mages did fairly good work. Every mage dealt at least 200 to 800 damage per spell. Individually speaking it wasn’t much damage, but together it was easily a scary amount of firepower. The sight of the boss's HP decreasing just a tad raised everyone’s morale.

It didn’t last long though. When the God Binding Art passed its duration, the One-horned Golden Dragon lifted its neck, extended its claws and let out a mighty roar. Its scales suddenly stood on end like a cat’s hair, and a natural barrier surrounded its body entirely. It was the defensive skill, Scale Armor!

Beep!

Combat Log: One-horned Golden Dragon used the skill ”Scale Armor.” All magic attacks are negated for 30 minutes!
