However, even though Er Ming was already low on health and the players desperately wanted to finish him off, they simply could not.
Er Ming's first reaction after being severely injured was to flee.
Even severely injured, Er Ming fled incredibly fast.
The few remaining players could not catch up at all, and even if they had, they probably would not have been able to finish him off.
Although Er Ming appeared to have only a sliver of health left, even that sliver would take the players a long time to whittle down.
After all, Er Ming's health pool as a boss was far too large. His remaining health was higher than an ordinary minor boss's full health.
Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Tang Yi smiled. "I brought these players here, so I've got to spoil them myself."
Tang Yi had indeed intervened in secret just now, but he had not helped the players directly. Instead, he had undone the seal on the Love-Severing Heartbroken Red.
The reason the Love-Severing Heartbroken Red had not developed sentience and become a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast like the other Immortal Herbs was simple: it had an additional seal on it that suppressed its sentience.
Tang Yi had undone that seal and imparted some knowledge to it.
That was how the scene of the Love-Severing Heartbroken Red helping the players had come about.
The Love-Severing Heartbroken Red already had countless threads of connection to the God of Love, and its spirit form was also modeled after the God of Love.
What it had used on Er Ming was an illusion-based hard crowd control skill. Even at level 98, Er Ming could not evade it.
However, after using that move, the Love-Severing Heartbroken Red would have to slumber for a long time before waking again.
