Wangxiang 25: True Boss Fight!
Wangxiang Wind Rising Clouds had already spent a fortune on a mortal-grade pair of boots earlier, so he had no interest in this one.
He suggested Silent’s Beloved and Qiu Luo Yumo each roll a random number to decide who got it.
Silent’s Beloved rolled a 65.
Qiu Luo Yumo rolled a 66 — just barely edging her out, winning the ungraded boots.
“Hmph.” Silent’s Beloved, having lost the roll, stomped her foot in annoyance.
After splitting up the loot, everyone recovered for a moment on the spot, then pressed onward.
After clearing three more waves of Ghost Crossings, Kai’s group arrived at an altar-like underground chamber.
At the very center of the chamber stood a floating nanmu-wood coffin.
Beneath the coffin, several devout ghostly figures in white feathered robes knelt motionless, each holding a human-skin oil lamp.
—[Feathered Robe Ghost]!
(Elite-tier ghost)!
Level: 19 Realm: Qi Refinement Health: 11,000 Attack: 355-411 Physical Defense: 350 Magic Defense: 300 Skills: [Ghost Pounce], [Recovery] (Feathered Robe Ghosts are elite spirits of the underworld — devout ghost servants of Wangxiang, the first-floor guardian of the Underworld Tomb.) (Only by defeating them can one earn the right to challenge Wangxiang.) The four kneeling Feathered Robe Ghosts were each essentially mini-bosses in their own right.
Just as Wind Rising Clouds was about to discuss strategy with the group on how to handle the four Feathered Robe Ghosts, Kai cut straight to the point.
“I’ll take on two of the Feathered Robe Ghosts.
You all handle the other two.” The moment he said it, under everyone’s stunned gazes, Kai had already locked onto the two leftmost Feathered Robe Ghosts and drawn his bow.
“F*ck!
Are you kidding me?!
That’s four mini-bosses!” Wind Rising Clouds’ eyes widened, and the others in the team were also surprised.
However, Kai had already made his move.
He raised his hand and released a Cloud Piercing Arrow.
The power of piercing gold and splitting stone burst out and hit the four Feathered Robe Ghosts.
Damage: 400+!
The four mini-bosses, which had been motionless, suddenly turned their heads at the same time after being injured, revealing hideous and terrifying ghost faces.
Then, they locked onto Kai like demons.
Kai did not panic at all.
He had seen a far more terrifying demoness in the real world.
After leaving a Qi Men Trap Technique on the spot, he locked onto a Feathered Robe Ghost with Lightning Chain Arrows and drew his bow again.
Clang!
Clang!
The sound of the Cold Iron Bow was like a machine gun firing, sounding continuously.
Damage: -221, -220… When the ninth arrow hit, the effect of [Soul Reaper] was directly triggered.
Ding!
“(Congratulations, team member!
Shadow Blaze killed a Feathered Robe Ghost with a 100% personal damage ratio.)” “(You’ve received 50% experience reward and 10 reputation points.)” With only two skills, Kai had killed a mini-boss, shocking everyone.
However, the other three were already charging toward Kai.
“Quick, Rising Sun, Prosperity, each of you stop a Feathered Robe Ghost.” Although it felt incredible, Wind Rising Clouds reacted and immediately reminded them loudly.
Winter Solstice Rising Sun and Three Generations Prosperity reacted and immediately rushed out with their shields, each blocking a Feathered Robe Ghost.
Only one Feathered Robe Ghost rushed toward Kai quickly.
Very calmly, Kai continued to raise his bow and shoot a basic attack at the Feathered Robe Ghost that was rushing over.
Damage: -223!
The triggering probability of [Soul Reaper] had been stacked to 17%.
The Feathered Robe Ghost launched its Ghost Pounce skill and turned into a gust of wind, surging forward.
Kai shot another arrow and then raised his Cold Iron Bow with both hands to block it.
Bang!
The Feathered Robe Ghost turned into a powerful gust of wind and hit Kai, making him feel as if he had been hit by a cold current.
His chest was in severe pain, and he flew backward.
A [-531 damage] popped up above his head.
It was not that he did not want to dodge, but the Feathered Robe Ghost’s speed was too fast, and it was a lock-on skill, so he could only take it head-on.
The Feathered Robe Ghost’s damage was so high that, other than him, only Winter Solstice Rising Sun and Three Generations Prosperity could resist it.
However, although the Feathered Robe Ghost had sent him flying, it had also been hit by the Qi Men Trap Technique he had left in place, and it fell into a state of deceleration.
Perhaps because the Feathered Robe Ghost was a ghost, it didn’t bleed.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kai quickly turned over and raised his bow to attack while retreating.
After shooting one arrow, two arrows, and three arrows, the probability of [Soul Reaper] was stacked to 20% before the Feathered Robe Ghost caught up with him again.
The Feathered Robe Ghost was a level 19 mini-boss.
Its movement speed was very fast, and Kai could not completely kite it.
If he had not used the Qi Men Trap Technique to reduce its movement speed by more than 20%, it was estimated that it would have closed in on him after releasing only one arrow.
Damage: -199!
This time, he only suffered from the Feathered Robe Ghost’s ordinary attack.
Under the bonus of the buff, Kai had 2,300 health points.
Coupled with his 20% blood-sucking effect, he still had more than 1,600 health points after another attack.
What surprised him even more was that, after suffering this attack, the Gale passive attached to the Monkey Skin Jacket was triggered.
He felt a gust of wind all over his body, and his movement and attack speed increased by 10% for ten seconds.
Taking advantage of the Gale state, he raised his hand and shot out another ordinary attack.
He then pulled back to open the distance and followed up with another ordinary attack.
He was about to continue kiting the Feathered Robe Ghost when, unexpectedly, his 2,300 health points were immediately restored to full after the second arrow was released.
After triggering the [Soul Reaper] effect, the Feathered Robe Ghost, which still had more than 9,000 health points, was directly killed.
Under the 20% blood-sucking effect, Kai’s blood was restored to full.
Ding!
“(Congratulations to team member — Shadow Blaze for killing the Feathered Robe Ghost with 100% personal damage ratio.)” “(You’ve received 50% experience reward and 10 reputation points.)” After killing two mini-bosses in a row, although they were in team mode, Kai alone received half of the experience reward.
He was so close to leveling up to level 13.
“I can’t resist it anymore.
The health Pill is on cooldown; I can’t take it.
Quick, let your [Little Horse Monkey Cub] help me.” On the other side, the Winter Solstice Rising Sun hurriedly retreated.
The damage output of the Feathered Robe Ghost was too high.
He hurriedly asked Xia Youmuxi to release her pet to help.
Three Generations Prosperity was not much better either.
If not for Xue Wu stepping in from time to time to share the damage with him, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand the firepower output of the Feathered Robe Ghost.
It wasn’t that Three Generations Prosperity lacked defense, but that the healing couldn’t keep up.
The big healer, Qiu Luo Yumo, had been focused on the Winter Solstice Rising Sun.
It was impossible to rely on her alone.
However, just as they were feeling strained, Kai rushed over to support them.
Lightning Chain Arrows, which had recovered from its cooldown, was launched and locked onto the Feathered Robe Ghost, which had hit the Little Horse Ba Monkey Cub’s blood to a dangerous level.
Luck favored him again, and before Lightning Chain Arrows finished, the effect of [Soul Reaper] was triggered again.
The Feathered Robe Ghost, which still had more than half of its blood left, was killed on the spot.
Ding!
“(Congratulations to team member, Shadow Blaze, for killing the Feathered Robe Ghost with 75% of personal damage.)” “(You’ve gained 40% experience and 5 reputation points.)” Ding!
“(Congratulations on successfully leveling up and gaining 5 free attribute points.)” Kai, who enjoyed 40% experience alone, instantly rose to level 13.
“F*ck!
You’re awesome!
We’ve been fighting together for so long, but we’re still not as strong as your skills.” Wind Rising Clouds gave him a thumbs up.
Xia Youmuxi and Qiu Luo Yumo looked at him with admiring eyes.
Even Winter Solstice Rising Sun’s eyes lit up.
After killing another Feathered Robe Ghost, there was only one Feathered Robe Ghost left.
Suddenly, the pressure on everyone decreased sharply, and all their firepower was concentrated on the last one.
Moreover, Winter Solstice Rising Sun and Three Generations Prosperity could take turns to fight, and the rhythm was completely stabilized.
Perhaps all his luck had been used on the first three Feathered Robe Ghost mini-bosses, but when they focused on the last one, Kai’s [Soul Reaper] potential was not triggered again.
Everyone worked together and spent two minutes to reduce the last Feathered Robe Ghost’s life to one-third.
Just as they were about to succeed… Crack!
In the nanmu coffin floating in mid-air, a movement sounded that made everyone’s scalp jump.
Donnnnggggg!
The coffin lid suddenly flew out violently.
Following that.
Wooshhhhh!
After the sound of a storm.
A terrifying ghost that looked like a demon child flew out of the coffin.
It was completely red and black, with red claws, big ears, and long arms.
Its speed was very fast.
The moment it broke out of the coffin, it landed between Qiu Luo Yumo and Silent’s Beloved.
It raised its hand and swung its claws.
Silent’s Beloved didn’t have time to react.
Her chest was torn open and pierced by a red ghost claw.
Blood spurted out from her mouth and nose.
Damage: -1028!
A fragile Ethereal Note suffered this kind of damage and was instantly killed on the spot.
She even dropped a piece of equipment.
[Wangxiang]!
(High-level Ghost)!
Realm: Foundation Establishment Level: 21 Health: 40,000 Attack: 989–1101 Physical Defense: 600 Magic Defense: 450 Skills: (Soul Sucking Kill), (Netherworld Claw) (As the final guardian of the first floor of the Underworld Tomb, this high-level evil ghost will tear apart all outsiders who trespass here.) The sudden appearance of the boss [Wangxiang] caught everyone off guard.
The important backline healer, Silent’s Beloved, was directly killed.
“The Feathered Robe Ghost hasn’t been dealt with yet.
Why did the boss come out?” “Quick, Prosperity, go and hold it back.
Buy us some time.” “Rising Sun, continue to hold the Feathered Robe Ghost.” Wind Rising Clouds roared in shock.
“Let’s focus on the Feathered Robe Ghost first.
After killing it, we’ll deal with the boss.” However, the boss [Wangxiang] had the strength of a Level 21 Foundation Establishment Stage.
After it suddenly broke out of the coffin, it wasn’t easy to deal with.
After the boss killed Silent’s Beloved in one move, it caught up with Qiu Luo Yumo like lightning.
It raised its hand and clawed down.
Seeing that the team’s last big healer was about to die, Xia Youmuxi flew up and blocked in front of her.
At the same time, she slashed a dagger at the boss’s chest.
Damage: -3!
Xia Youmuxi couldn’t break through the boss’s defense.
Instead, she was hit by the boss’s claw.
Blood spurted from her mouth and she flew up.
Damage: -871!
Xia Youmuxi became a corpse before she landed.
After she died, the pet Little Horse Monkey Cub also disappeared instantly.
