Ma Feifei's Boss Defense Battle

"What the hell! They even take our things after we failed? Why should they?" Azi said angrily as she heard the voice in her head.

The one-armed man looked up at the sky, his brows furrowed.

The Second Mother seemed indifferent, her eyes fixed on the one-armed man.

Taishan stood innocently behind Ah Zi, grinning at Ah Zi.

"Let's go." The one-armed man withdrew his gaze and walked towards the tomb.

The three followed closely behind.

Before long, they arrived at the Blood River.

"Ugh~" The moment she saw the Blood River, Azi felt her stomach churning and ran to the side to vomit.

The other three seemed unaffected, their expressions grave as they stared at the river of blood.

Outside the Bookstore.

"My God, this is a river of blood!" a cultivator exclaimed.

The others also stared at the river in astonishment.

"It must be an illusion," one of the cultivators said.

"Definitely. Didn't another blood river appear in the Bookstore last time in another book, 'The Legend of the Swordsmen of Shu Mountain'? It was much bigger than this one. In the end, after Miss Liu Ying broke through it, it returned to its original form." Another cultivator chimed in.

Although the Blood River was terrifying, having learned from the previous experience that it was all an illusion, everyone wasn't as shocked as they had been before.

"Look! There seems to be something in the Blood River!" Suddenly, a cultivator pointed at the projection and shouted.

All eyes turned to the blood river, which had been calm, and they noticed that it was suddenly rippling, as if something was struggling within it.

"Whoosh~"

A pale hand reached out from the river of blood.

"Scare!"

The timid cultivator was instantly startled.

But in an instant, the hand got stuck again.

"Whoosh~"

The hand came out again, and this time it shook.

Then they went back in...

What does this mean?

The cultivators outside who witnessed this scene all looked puzzled.

"Who knows?" Everyone shook their heads in silence, completely baffled by the situation.

Within the projection.

Azi had barely managed to control her stomach. Her gaze fixed on the hand that was sometimes in and sometimes out, she couldn't help but step forward, pointing her sword at the Blood River, and shouting fiercely, "What kind of demon dares to play tricks on me? Come out and face your death!"

"Whoosh~"

This time, it wasn't a hand that came out, but a pale face.

"Ah!" Azi was startled and dropped her sword. She ran behind Taishan to hide.

"Pah!" The pale face in the river of blood spat out a piece of bone.

Then he glanced at the four people on the shore, turned around, and sank back down.

"Damn it, System, can you at least let me be born somewhere better? Don't you know I'm stuck between bones?" Ma Feifei sank down, trying to pry open the bones that were clamping his thigh while complaining to the system in his mind.

His thighs were stuck in the blood river for several minutes, and he couldn't break free no matter what. If it weren't for the fact that the body itself was a corpse and didn't need to breathe, Ma Feifei felt that he might have drowned in it.

With a soft "snap," a slight sound of struggle echoed from the river of blood. Ma Feifei finally broke free from the skeleton gripping his thigh and began to climb upwards.

"Whoosh~"

A pale face reappeared in the river of blood, but unlike before, this face slowly rose upwards.

It slowly climbed up, head, shoulders, upper body, and lower body, and stood on the shore.

This is an old man in tattered clothes, with dry, wrinkled skin, an expressionless face, and a hunched back. His eyes are not visible, only the whites are visible. Against the backdrop of the tomb, he looks exceptionally frightening.

"Is this Emperor Chu the Conqueror?" The cultivators outside asked curiously upon seeing the 'old man' appear.

"It shouldn't be him. We haven't even entered the tomb yet, how could it be Xiang Yu, the Emperor Chu the Conqueror? It's probably just Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals outside," someone replied.

"But it seems like he has no cultivation!" someone asked doubtfully.

This Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals general are far too ordinary.

"Whoosh~"

Suddenly, the river of blood in the projection began to riot.

"Bang~"

The river of blood exploded, forming two pillars of blood that struck the old man.

"Ding! Calculating the strength of the opposing team."

"Calculating..."

"Calculation complete, increasing boss strength..."

"Increase complete. Final strength peak Spirit King ninth stage (Note: Original strength peak Spirit King eighth stage, the host has added an additional level)."

"Ding! Host detected entering a dungeon. Dungeon Shop now open."

A flurry of thoughts raced through Ma Feifei's mind, and then he felt a surge of power within him.

"Spirit King ninth stage? It seems the opposing team is quite strong!" Ma Feifei thought to himself, feeling the surging power within him.

"Whoosh~"

The pillar of blood disappeared, Ma Feifei stood up, staring intently at the other person.

"His aura has grown stronger!" The one-armed man stared at 'Ma Feifei' in front of him and said in a deep voice.

"Peak Spirit King ninth stage!" Second Mother looked at Ma Feifei with a serious expression.

"Are all the Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals outside this strong?" Azi secretly picked up the spirit sword and whispered.

Of the four, the strongest is Second Mother, who is only at the peak Spirit King ninth stage. The one-armed man and Taishan are at the peak of the eighth level. Azi is the weakest, only at the Spirit King fifth stage.

While the four were sizing up Ma Feifei had already started buying things in the Dungeon Shop.

The purpose of the Dungeon Shop is to provide the host with a better gaming experience, thereby significantly increasing the chances of blocking the team from clearing the dungeon.

Of course, the items in the Dungeon Shop are not free; they need to be purchased with Book Qi Points or Spirit Crystal.

"Eighth-tier Spirit Sword Peerless: Possesses world-destroying power, one of the nine Spirit Swords used by Emperor Chu the Conqueror, in his conquest of the world. Purchase Price: 500,000 Spirit Crystal or Book Qi Points. (Note: All items in the Dungeon Shop are one-time use and will be automatically retrieved after leaving the dungeon.)"

"Too expensive!" Ma Feifei shook his head. This sword costs 500,000 Spirit Crystal. What if they win the fight but don't get anything good from the four of them? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?

"Eighth-tier spirit beast Tusker Beast: Possesses powerful combat abilities and is one of the high-tier spirit beasts under the command of Emperor Chu the Conqueror. Purchase price: 400,000 Spirit Crystal or Book Qi Points."

"Seventh-tier martial skill Dragon Soaring Twelve Forms, a martial skill created by Emperor Chu the Conqueror. Purchase price: 250,000 Spirit Crystal or Book Qi Points."

"..."

Rows upon rows of treasures that enhance Ma Feifei's combat abilities, all signed by Emperor Chu the Conqueror).

"It seems these things were all buried with Xiang Yu, the Emperor Chu the Conqueror," Ma Feifei said with envy.

These items were destined to be rewards for those teams that cleared the Tomb of the Hegemon, and were not for Ma Feifei.

"Let's buy a fifth-tier martial arts skill and a fifth-tier spirit sword to practice with first." After thinking for a while, Ma Feifei finally spent a total of 100,000 Book Qi Points to buy these two items.

"Ding! Purchase successful. Martial skill automatically learned. Please go to the Blood River to collect your spirit sword."

Ma Feifei turned around and saw a spirit sword slowly rising from the blood river.

"Whoosh~"

The spirit sword flew out of the blood river and landed in Ma Feifei's hand.

Ma Feifei turned around, holding a long sword, his eyes fixed on the four people.

The four of them then took out their magical weapons and looked at Ma Feifei with solemn expressions.

The momentum of both sides is steadily rising.

The battle to defend Ma Feifei's boss is about to begin!
