Though the Body Dies, the Sword's Light Cuts Through All
The last time I fought in close combat was with that unlucky guy, Dongli Cang.
Several Legendary players suddenly burst into Black Flames, followed by a flash of light, as if they had used Second Life to return to their peak condition.
Facing the bald man's dazzling, cold light, a slash that seemed to gather his last bit of energy and spirit, a perfect unity of man and sword, Su Luo took a step forward.
Just one step.
He raised his right hand, pointed a finger to meet the cold light, and countless complex Spells exploded, filling the sky with light. The bloodshot eyes and pressure in the bald man's eyes also burst open.
"Come." A calm syllable echoed clearly in the ears of the nine players.
The next moment, "Su Luo," Lock-On by the rapier, suddenly collapsed inward like a punctured inflatable doll the instant the sword tip touched her fingertips!
His entire body instantly exploded into a highly unstable, Chaos mass of energy mixed with various elements. Then, this mass of energy was completely detonated by the extreme sharpness of the sword tip.
Boom!!
The intense light and shockwave exploded, instantly depriving everyone within a radius of hundreds of meters of sight, and carrying with it powerful Mana interference and mental impact, blinding everyone.
Even more deadly, a terrifyingly pure Divine Power separated from the exploded energy cluster and directly entered the bald man's spiritual world, transforming into nourishment for his Heartfire.
Bait!
At the same moment when everyone's attention was drawn to the Self-Destruct decoy and the bald man's strange behavior—
Hundreds of meters away from the main battlefield, a figure quietly appeared beside the Legendary priest who had been casting spells intently, maintaining the last healing and buffs for his teammates.
The priest didn't even have time to react. He only felt a slightly cool touch on the back of his neck, and then his vision spun around. The last thing he saw was his headless body flying up like a bowling pin.
Killing the healer first in team fights is the right thing to do.
Su Luo, holding the priest's still-bleeding head in one hand, moved without pause, blurring out again like a phantom.
However, the other players reacted incredibly quickly. Those selected to participate in this ultimate mission were all top-tier Legendary with extensive experience. Even before the intense light from the decoy's explosion had completely dissipated and their vision was still blurred, several players had already Lock-On the approximate location of Su Luo's true form using their combat intuition and energy perception!
"He's over there! Focus fire!"
Arcane Missiles, various rays, Mana drain, Curses...
In an instant, the area where Su Luo was located was engulfed by a dazzling, deadly radiance.
Su Luo's body instantly lit up with dazzling defensive light, and more than twenty layers of shields with different Attributes and principles manifested, layer upon layer, wrapping him in a magnificent and sturdy energy cocoon.
However, the Legendary players should not be underestimated. In the short time it took Su Luo to move a few hundred meters again, most of the various shields on Su Luo's body exploded.
Ahead of Su Luo, a Legendary elemental mage wielding a crystal staff shimmering with Stars had completed his preparations. He abandoned a direct attack and instead unleashed his most proficient skill—[Multiple Elemental Imprisonment Cage]!
All around Su Luo, golden, green, blue, red, and yellow lights appeared out of thin air, transforming into countless solid chains that Nesting in exquisite patterns, forming a prison.
"Quick! Its movement is restricted!" the Legendary mage shouted.
Su Luo activated her full perception and quickly discerned the Spell's model and strength, even the Spellcaster's casting habits. She extended thousands of strands of Divine Power forward and directly broke through the spell.
The entire magnificent and sturdy cage only managed to stop Su Luo for a moment before crumbling into countless harmless elemental light specks scattered across the sky!
The Legendary mage, a veteran of countless battles, visibly paused for a moment.
What does it mean to dismantle the opponent's Spell?
If it's not a bro, then who is the mage?!
Su Luo clenched his fist, revealing a layer of fire and earth elemental armor glowing red, covered with wolf-tooth particles and radiating terrifying heat. The mage facing him looked like he was about to break down.
The mage only had time to erect a thin shield in his haste.
"Hiss!"
Just as the punch nearly pierced through the expressive mage, a dark and crazed aura emanated from behind Su Luo.
A Legendary assassin who had always lurked in the shadows, waiting for his chance! He seized the Perfect moment when Su Luo unleashed his punch, the old force dissipating before the new force could arise.
The dagger, imbued with deadly poison and flashing with a cunning and ruthless light, effortlessly sliced through layers of shields and pierced Su Luo's back!
The assassin was overjoyed. His dagger instantly grew larger, longer, and hotter, while simultaneously unleashing a torrent of deadly poison, aiming to deliver a finishing move.
Su Luo withdrew her arm and dodged away before the dagger could change shape, creating distance between herself and the enemy.
At the same time, dozens of giant, Perfect streamlined, and blazing white Flame Spears suddenly appeared in the air above where Su Luo had been standing, radiating extreme heat and continuously targeting the Legendary assassin who had not been killed in one strike and was trying to escape into the shadows.
Behind Su Luo, a lump of black, corrosive flesh mixed with bone and blood was expelled and began to wriggle and heal.
All those body modifications weren't for nothing. Su Luo's body was transformed from a blank slate to possess the healing abilities of Martial Dao arts expert, and even had similar energy to Blood Qi within her body.
The assassin's expression froze as he dodged.
Good news: The BOSS's health bar has appeared.
Bad news: The health bar is just a texture and doesn't move.
In the brief moment between Su Luo tending to her wounds and the assassin being controlled—
The bald man's extremely sharp rapier was already close at hand. The Legendary rapier in his hand seemed to sense its master's will to perish, emitting a clear and mournful tremor, and the blade shone with an unprecedentedly brilliant light.
Further away, a streak of light moved toward the Astral Remains; it was a Knight.
Su Luo temporarily ignored the bald man's rapier, stood Jingjing in place, and her Mana surged wildly once again, causing the distant silver-white Laboratory to start up at high speed.
On the ground, a dense burst of Spell light exploded, and countless Constant Spells, some bright and some dim, some large and some small, turned the environment into a chaotic mess.
The areas ahead were all set up, so why wouldn't traps be placed in the area beneath their feet? Just to achieve a surprise effect, a constant barrage of Spell effects were applied to the player: paralysis, slow, entanglement, drain, phantom...
However, the brilliance of the bald captain's selfless sword strike was not diminished or shifted by the sudden appearance of the trap field!
The bald man's eyes were bloodshot; the Black Flames had burned away his soul, and his body had lost control, causing his internal energy to rage and burst forth.
The Burn of his soul, the fall of his companions, and the desperate situation of his mission, instead tempered his final will into something as pure, sharp, and unstoppable as the blade of a sword!
Though his body is dead, the light of his sword remains invincible!
"Yuncang--!"
With only one word left to his will, the bald man roared and thrust out the rapier that seemed to be Burn.
