Senluo Pendant

Senluo Pendant

Ah Huang's sneak attack succeeded. Though it did not deal much damage to Ge Angshou, it successfully held him back.

Ye Weiming naturally would not miss the opportunity Ah Huang had risked its life to create for him. Channeling his inner power into his feet, he moved with his sword, his entire body instantly turning into an arrow loosed from the bow as he thrust straight at Ge Angshou's heart.

It was Xi Shi Holding Heart, the most lethal move in the Moon Maiden Swordplay!

Ge Angshou was greatly startled and immediately dodged to the side. However, with Ah Huang clamped tightly onto his calf, he managed to evade Xi Shi Holding Heart but exposed a huge opening due to the limited range of his movement.

Ye Weiming immediately followed with a returning horizontal slash. How could Ge Angshou possibly dodge again in time? The Green Bamboo Sword swept viciously across his throat.

Blood sprayed!

Having one's throat cut by a sharp blade would have been an Instant Kill in reality. But this was a game, after all. If Instant Kill effects were so easy to achieve, there would be no point in a BOSS having a health bar.

Thus, the damage dealt by Ye Weiming's strike was calculated from his own attributes + the Arm Strength boosted by Roasted Wolf Meat + the sharpness of the Gold-grade Green Bamboo Sword + the attack bonus from the ninth level of Moon Maiden Swordplay + the damage bonus from Tai Shan's Secret + critical damage from striking a Vital Point + the critical damage bonus from Tai Shan's Secret.-

1530!

This strike not only chopped off a quarter of Ge Angshou's health, but also inflicted a poisoned status effect!

This was the highest Attack Power Ye Weiming could unleash with a critical hit while fully buffed!

Even for a BOSS like Ge Angshou, such a grievous wound was far from easy to bear. Enraged, he immediately kicked out, flinging Ah Huang off his leg. Ah Huang slammed heavily into a large tree and let out a series of weak whimpers.

Seeing that Ah Huang had also been seriously injured, Ye Weiming grew anxious. Yet he had no time to worry about anything else. Losing focus now would only waste the opportunity Ah Huang had created at the risk of its life!

With a turn of his blade, he stabbed again at Ge Angshou's heart. As a BOSS over level twenty, Ge Angshou naturally possessed some close-combat skills. But compared to his exceptional hidden-weapon Kung Fu, they were clearly lacking, and he was even less of a match for Ye Weiming.

After merely five exchanges, he took two more hits from Ye Weiming in succession. One pierced his lower abdomen, while the other slashed across his right leg, triggering the Muscle Severing effect!

Muscle Severing was a negative status effect that mainly affected the limbs of players or BOSSES. Once triggered, the injured limb would be unable to move for a certain period of time.

At that moment, Ge Angshou's right leg was afflicted by Muscle Severing. His superb lightness skill had effectively been rendered useless.

He had now become fish on the chopping block, ready for Ye Weiming to carve up at will!

And Ye Weiming did not waste any words. He unleashed the Moon Maiden Swordplay and began carving him up on the spot.

A minute later, the carving was complete.

Ding! You successfully killed the Level 23 BOSS Ge Angshou. You gained 2500 experience points and 250 cultivation points.

This was followed by three consecutive announcements for the BOSS's first kill.

Though Ge Angshou's level was not particularly high, his ability to preserve his own life was extremely strong. More importantly, there was his status. As the fourth leader of Lotus Stockade, he had two elder brothers backing him up. Until now, no player had managed to charge into Lotus Stockade and kill him. Yet Ye Weiming had managed to claim this BOSS's first kill through a fortunate coincidence.

But Ye Weiming had no mood to care about any first kill right now. He did not even feel like Looting corpse. After killing Ge Angshou, he immediately pushed the Eight-Step Toad Leap to its limit and rushed to Ah Huang's side in an instant, taking out a Blood Replenishing Pill and placing it by its mouth.

This was a key dog tied to a hidden quest, and it had just rendered great service in battle. If it died like this, he would suffer a huge loss.

Ah Huang was very intelligent. Seeing Ye Weiming's action, it immediately opened its mouth and swallowed the Blood Replenishing Pill.

However, as a functional NPC, Ah Huang could not enjoy the rapid recovery available to players. Otherwise, Yu Daiyan of the Wudang Sect would already be alive and kicking, continuing his chivalrous adventures.

Ye Weiming's Golden Wound Medicine and Blood Replenishing Pill could only barely keep it alive and prevent it from dying immediately. To heal it, he would have to find another method.

Ye Weiming picked up Ah Huang and carefully hid it behind a concealed tree trunk before turning back to loot Ge Angshou's corpse.

According to the principle of contribution-based distribution, Ye Weiming had taken down Ge Angshou entirely by himself. Naturally, all the items he dropped went into Ye Weiming's pocket. As for Tang Sancai, who was still chasing and fighting a BOSS nearby, he was not even qualified to take a look.

After a quick glance, Ge Angshou's drops were as follows:

Senluo Pendant (Gold-grade): Carved from special fine jade, it contained abundant Wood energy and had the effect of strengthening the body. Vitality Limit +1000, Vitality recovery speed +10, poison resistance +20%.

Flying Star Throw (Beginner): Originally a move from the Tang Sect Loose Hand. Though it consisted of only one move, its power was astonishing. Cultivation requirements: Movement Technique 60, Reaction 60.

Azure Bracers (Blue): A pair of dark-blue bracers, exquisitely crafted. Defense +30, Movement Technique +10, ranged weapon Attack Speed increased by 1%.

Longevity Lock: A Longevity Lock made by Steward Zhao of Peony Village for his grandson. It was crafted from pure gold, though unfortunately only half remained.

3 gold.

Four neat items plus 3 gold. Ye Weiming accepted them all with a smile, then equipped the Gold-grade Senluo Pendant in his necklace slot, instantly more than doubling his vitality.

As expected of Gold-grade Equipment!

Raising his head to observe the other two battlefields, he found that Bai Zhanji and Lin Zhipei were still evenly matched, fighting with tremendous vigor. Meanwhile, Ji Laiye, Tang Sancai's opponent, had already abandoned Brother Sancai and charged toward the tree where Ah Huang was hidden. He dodged Tang Sancai's various hidden-weapon attacks merely by judging their positions from the sound, and did not care even when he was hit several times. He looked determined to kill Ah Huang no matter what.

Ye Weiming was instantly alarmed and cried out instinctively, "Don't!"

"Hehehe..." Hearing Ye Weiming's cry, Ji Laiye instead broke into an extremely smug laugh. "When a woman says no, she means yes!"

You're the woman. Your whole family is made up of women!

Seeing that he stubbornly refused to listen, Ye Weiming immediately charged forward with his sword drawn and said coldly, "Come back!"

Tang Sancai, hearing Ye Weiming trying to stop his opponent in such a manner, could not help finding it rather amusing.

Had Brother Ye gone stupid from panic?

How could a dignified BOSS possibly listen to him?

Yet in the next moment, he watched in utter shock as Ji Laiye actually abandoned Ah Huang at Ye Weiming's cold shout. With bloodshot eyes, he charged toward Ye Weiming as if determined to fight him to the death.

The bizarre sight nearly made Tang Sancai's eyes pop out of their sockets.

You told the BOSS to come over, and the BOSS actually came over?

That obedient?

What exactly... was going on!?
