Second Blood (Third Update)

Bai Xiaowen's Targeted Airdrop was launched, instantly sending the Butcher and Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier to block Chu Li's path.

On the other side, Li Shuyi, Han Xu, and Rageclaw surrounded Duanmucheng.

The reason for not sending out undead summons is that Duanmucheng's holy damage is effective against Undead Species, and judging from his skills, Duanmucheng has a lot of area-of-effect holy damage. Sending out Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier to surround and attack would easily result in casualties among the summons.

In normal combat, the summoned creatures of the Black Soul Stone are practically insignificant (literal meaning, not figurative)...

Since there aren't many intense battles, you can summon them again after 12 hours. As long as you can kill the enemy, losing a few summoned creatures is not a big deal.

However, in Resource Raid Mode, enemies can be resurrected after being killed, and the cooldowns of their skills and ultimate abilities will be reset. Bai Xiaowen's summoned creatures, on the other hand, are gone as soon as they die, unless Bai Xiaowen himself dies and is resurrected, in which case the "Return of the Dead" skill will not be reset.

The three of Han Xu and Duanmucheng, were actually enough.

Han Xu is a tank focused on defense, and his Shield Equipment Mastery has reached advanced level 5. He has unique insights into how to raise a shield to protect teammates and reduce recoil damage. His strength is also considerable, and with the golden weapon "Heavy Pincer," his damage output is relatively high among Mid Elite tanks.

Even in a one-on-one situation, it would take Duanmucheng quite a while to kill Han Xu.

As a level 5 Boss Tier, Rageclaw Life Sharing with Bai Xiaowen, so it doesn't feel much damage from holy AOE attacks. On the contrary, with the passive bonus of Blood Frenzy, it becomes stronger and stronger as the battle progresses.

Li Shuyi also has strong survivability. With Han Xu's protection, she can focus on outputting damage. Her twin swords crossed, drawing out a series of terrifying cold lights. Her level 7 Swordsmanship Specialty made it even more Parry for Duanmucheng to defend or Block. Her attacks were successful time and time again, leaving traces of blood on Duanmucheng's body.

Duanmucheng knew he wouldn't escape so easily. He shouted and pointed his greatsword diagonally at Li Shuyi, unleashing his class skill: Holy Light Judgment!

A terrifying pressure descended, and a somewhat ethereal holy light hammer slowly descended from above Li Shuyi's head. No matter how Li Shuyi moved, the holy light hammer followed her relentlessly, as if it had locked onto her.

"Shu Yi, switch targets," Bai Xiaowen said calmly. Under the enhanced effect of Holy Light Judgment's "Heretic Judgment" LV4, Li Shuyi would have to take an additional 25% holy damage. Anyway, they still had many trump cards to play, so there was no need to take risks.

Li Shuyi took a half step back, abandoning Duanmucheng, and charged straight at Chu Li.

Upon seeing an opening in the encirclement, Duanmucheng immediately tried to flee. However, how could Bai Xiaowen be completely unprepared? The instant Li Shuyi retreated, the Bone Warlock unleashed a Lightning Strike, causing Duanmucheng to freeze in place.

The Skeleton Champion charged forward, wielding his greatsword, to fill the gap and once again block Duanmucheng's path.

On the other side, Chu Li was already in dire straits under the siege, his Life Value dropping by more than half—he had already eaten the Mill pastry that instantly restored 30% of his Life Value, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to hold on until now.

Suddenly, Chu Li shouted and flashed, appearing fifteen meters away in the next second! This was his only movement skill, "Blink," and its biggest advantage compared to ordinary Backward Jump and Backward Leap was that it could ignore obstacles.

However, every advantage has its disadvantage. Blink, as one of the top movement skills, has a very long cooldown, up to 10 minutes. In comparison, movement skills like Backward Jump only have a base cooldown of 90 seconds.

"Trying to run away? Not a chance."

Bai Xiaowen snorted, Bone Warlock immediately raised his hand and cast Ghost Path! Chu Li was instantly frozen again, and he had already used his antidote.

Suddenly, a Radiant Burst energy shot out and struck Chu Li directly! It not only restored a certain amount of Chu Li's Life Value, but also removed his stunned state.

It was Duanmucheng who unleashed the Holy Light Bolt skill!

Chu Li, now free, naturally continued running. However, his efforts were destined to be in vain; Bai Xiaowen's Targeted Airdrop had a radius of 580 meters! With a wave of his hand, two more Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier blocked Chu Li's path, alternating between Shield Bash bashes.

With this obstruction, Li Shuyi, the Butcher, and the three Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier caught up again... This time, Chu Li is really Cool Cool.

Duanmucheng was also in great danger because he had just used Holy Light Bolt on Chu Li!

First came Han Xu's hammer blow... oh no, it was a wrench Pincer Strike. The Crushing Blow effect was finally triggered, and Duanmucheng's body sank, his movement speed decreased sharply, and he felt somewhat dizzy.

The Skeleton Champion suddenly unleashed Whirlwind Slash that was one centimeter long, slamming into Duanmucheng. Although the knockback effect of this attack was not triggered due to the difference in strength, the impact still caused Duanmucheng to sway and lose his balance.

The Rageclaw suddenly gripped Duanmucheng's shoulders...

"This is... the Wolf King Raging Claw's ultimate attack, Suppression! This is bad!"

Duanmucheng suddenly roared, unleashing a burst of dazzling holy energy that repelled Rageclaw, Skeleton Champion, and Han Xu! While dealing holy damage, Duanmucheng's Life Value also instantly recovered a significant portion.

Divine Storm!

Duanmucheng finally found an opening and rushed out.

"So this skill was finally forced out?"

Bai Xiaowen smiled slightly. Rageclaw hadn't intended to use his ultimate move to Suppression Duanmu Cheng just now. How could he just use an ultimate move with a cooldown of 8 hours so easily? In an instant, Bai Xiaowen's Spell Talisman was unleashed, and the yellow Heart-Confounding Talisman accurately hit Duanmucheng.

However, a flash of light appeared on Duanmucheng's body, indicating that he had used a control-breaking item and instantly recovered from the dizziness. At the same time, a flash of light appeared under his feet, and his movement speed increased dramatically!

Bai Xiaowen received a notification, and Duanmucheng simultaneously activated the acceleration skill of his shoes, as well as the combat skill "Frenzy Acceleration"! With the two acceleration states combined, Duanmucheng instantly ran dozens of meters, leaving Han Xu and Rageclaw behind, making it impossible for them to catch up.

Duanmucheng ran away, but Chu Li wasn't so lucky. A group of summoned creatures, along with Li Shuyi's attack, quickly depleted his Life Value.

"Red Fang Yong: Chu Li has been killed!"

"Killer: Bai Xiaowen. Assister: Li Shuyi."

Bai Xiaowen delivered the final blow, securing the kill once again. Although Li Shuyi had a fast attack speed, Bai Xiaowen had more summoned creatures, resulting in a higher overall attack frequency...

"I didn't intentionally steal kills," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile.

"Hey, should we still pursue that one?" Li Shuyi gestured with her chin towards Duanmucheng's retreating figure.

"Hmm, it's alright, let him go. Killing Chu Li is enough," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile.

"Why?" Li Shuyi knew Bai Xiaowen's strength; if he were to get serious, capturing Duanmucheng would definitely not be a problem.
