This obstruction slightly slowed the axe's momentum, allowing Sun Fei to activate his [ Leap ] skill and leap into the air in the blink of an eye, dodging the axe. However, a figure flashed before his eyes, revealing Korlic unleashing another [ Leap Attack ], his great axe slashing down in his face.
" Leap Attack!"
Sun Fei roared angrily, using his twin swords as giant axes to slash horizontally. He also activated the Barbarian [ Leap Attack ] skill, colliding head-on with the Guardian Korlic in mid-air.
boom!
A strong wind burst forth.
Two figures groaned and fell in similar directions.
This time, Sun Fei suffered a great loss; his two swords almost slipped from his hands, and his tiger's mouth burst open and bled.
Korlic is an ancient guardian whose signature move is [ Leap Attack ]. He has mastered this skill to an unparalleled degree. It can be said that no one understands the power and essence of Leap Attack better than Korlic. Sun Fei's [ Leap Attack ] is only upgraded to level 12, which is quite a difference.
As soon as they landed, the wind howled in their ears, and a Whirlwind of sword energy swept over them, turning the entire summit of Mount Arreat into a sea of blades in an instant.
[ Whirlwind Slash ]!
This is the signature move of Talic, the strongest of the three guardian deities.
Sun Fei activated his [ Leap ] skill, avoiding a direct confrontation, and leaped into the air to Avoid the dangerous attack.
In just a few seconds, the lightning-fast exchange gave Sun Fei a clear understanding of the strength of these three guardians. Each of them was capable of blocking his attack head-on. It was clearly impossible to overwhelm them head-on like he had when he killed demon bosses before. This would be the most difficult battle His Majesty the King had ever faced since entering Diablo, so much so that he had to adopt a passive attrition tactic, just like in his previous computer games.
Fortunately, Sun Fei was not fighting alone.
He was also accompanied by the powerful and Valkyrie Elena.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Arrows Zongheng the air, and flying axes spun.
On the other side, Elena and Madawc, two experts skilled in long-range kills, clashed fiercely.
Elena cleverly used the huge Rock statues and towers on the altar in the square to avoid Madake's flying axe, and then retaliated with arrows. For a short time, the two fought to a standstill.
"A good opportunity. Let's first eliminate Korlic, the weaker of the other two guardians, and then defeat them one by one."
Sun Fei's mind raced, and he simply abandoned the [ Children of Bukathos ] set of dual swords.
Although this pair of swords can slightly enhance Sun Fei's strength, Sun Fei [ Sword Mastery ] skill is still very low, and he has not mastered any powerful sword techniques. As a result, this pair of swords actually subtly restricts the full expression of Sun Fei's strength.
With his body half-squatting and his right arm slightly retracted, the Storm Riders between heaven and earth changed color instantly, and a huge glass fist imprint appeared in the air. With a loud shout, Sun Fei threw a punch, and the glass fist imprint smashed towards Korlic like a meteor.
Heavenly Frost Fist... One-Hit Kill!
In terms of skill proficiency, Sun Fei cannot compare with the Guardian God, but in terms of pure strength, Sun Fei is much stronger than this Guardian God of [ Normal Difficulty ] level. After all, Sun Fei's Barbarian character has reached level 91, and most of his points have been allocated to strength.
boom!
A tremendous burst of energy erupted, and Korlic was indeed blasted away.
Sun Fei struck successfully but did not pursue.
It was visibly that Korlic's health had dropped by one-fifth, but at this moment, the strongest Talic activated [ Whirlwind Slash ] again, transforming into a terrifying tornado, with sword shadows that blotted out the sky, and slashed towards Sun Fei.
[ Leap ].
Sun Fei soared into the air, and in mid-air, he once again gathered his power, forming a glass fist imprint, and unleashed a [ Heavenly Frost Fist One-Hit Kill ] strike.
boom!
Talic was blasted away again.
Seeing this, Sun Fei felt much more at ease.
He knew that the hem of the Goddess of victory was gradually being lifted towards him.
For the next fifteen minutes, everything unfolded as Sun Fei had predicted.
When the tenth [ Heavenly Frost Fist One-Hit Kill ] was unleashed, the ancient guardian Korlic, wielding a long-handled giant axe, finally ran out of health.
With a roar that seemed both liberating and furious, golden light emanated from his body. This golden aura stirred the clouds and the heavens, causing a mysterious power to surge into the air. Then, along with the wisps of golden aura, it all swept towards Sun Fei at such speed that Sun Fei had no chance to Avoid. In the blink of an eye, it had already entered Sun Fei's body.
His Majesty the King felt a warm, soothing sensation coursing through his body.
Immediately afterwards, an incomparably comfortable feeling, like parched seedlings receiving timely rain, spread from the depths of my soul, while my bones and muscles made a series of soft cracking sounds, indicating that some incredible change was taking place.
This turn of events was completely unexpected by Sun Fei.
At the same time, Korlic's body disappeared.
At the center of the ancient altar atop the mountain, a towering Barbarian statue appeared, holding a long-handled giant axe aloft. Its facial features were clearly discernible, and it was none other than Kolik, one of the three guardian gods who had just died in battle—[ Leap Attack ] Korlic.
Just as Sun Fei remembered from the computer game in his previous life, the guardian would reappear as a golden statue after dying in battle.
The only difference was that when Korlic died in battle, the golden aura emanating from his body actually flowed into Sun Fei's body, and his body seemed to undergo some changes in an instant, which was truly an unexpected turn of events.
However, on the battlefield, Sun Fei had no time to think further, because amidst the roar, the sound of Heaven Sword whistled through the air, shattering the fluttering snowflakes. In an instant, it seemed as if the entire Mount Arreat was shrouded in sword energy and gale force, as if it would tear everything apart.
[ Whirlwind Slash ]!
As expected of Talic, who is known as the strongest among the three ancient guardian gods, the [ Whirlwind Slash ] skill in his hands is almost as powerful as a high-level Dou Qi technique used by a Moon Class expert, with a ferocity that can destroy the world.
Sun Fei was also surprised to learn that the Barbarian's [ Whirlwind Slash ] skill, when used to its fullest potential, could be so lethal.
[ Leap ].
Sun Fei leaped into the air and dodged again.
Just like he did with Korlic before, Sun Fei still relied on the [ Heavenly Frost Fist One-Hit Kill ] to kill from a distance.
After each unleashing of the full power of [ Whirlwind Slash ], the strongest guardian Talic, would pause slightly. At this moment, his defense would be at its lowest, and he would be repeatedly struck by Sun Fei's Glazed Fist Imprint. With each punch, his health would decrease by one-twentieth. As Sun Fei continued his all-out attack, Talic's life was gradually coming to an end.
However, Sun Fei's situation was not easy either.
[ Whirlwind Slash ] is an extremely powerful dual-sword skill for Barbarian. In Talic's hands, it was brought to its fullest potential. The sky was filled with sword shadows and sword energy gusts, which could cut through snow and people. Although Sun Fei Summon the most powerful Barbarian armor, his body was still covered with sword marks, and blood was gushing out. It was not possible to completely Avoid it every time.
Rumble!!
Finally, after Sun Fei unleashed another Glazed Fist Imprint, Talic roared and collapsed to the ground.
Just like last time, countless golden wisps of energy emanated from his body, spreading across the entire summit of Mount Arreat, and then entered Sun Fei's body with lightning speed. King Majesty once again felt the smooth sensation of his soul being nourished, and every cell in his body was groaning and shouting with joy.
When the golden mist completely disappeared, another statue appeared in the center of the altar plaza.
This is a golden statue belonging to the strongest guardian god, Talic.
However, it was at this moment that Sun Fei noticed that all three environmental statues had appeared on the ancient altar. In other words, while Sun Fei had dealt with Korlic and Talic, the beautiful mercenary Elena had also dealt with Madawc, the weakest of the three guardian gods.
I finally passed the test.
Sun Fei smiled with relief, feeling a little weak all over, and turned to look in Elena's direction.
Upon seeing this, Sun Fei nearly fainted.
In the distance, beneath a hundred-meter-tall tower-shaped stone pillar, Elena, covered in blood, leaned against it to avoid collapsing. Her ever-present battle bow had fallen to the ground. Multiple wounds covered her body, especially a gruesome one on her waist that had nearly severed her in two. Crimson blood gushed from her beautiful body. The Valkyrie's face was deathly pale, yet she wore a faint smile as she looked at Sun Fei.
" Elena... you're injured?!"
At that moment, Sun Fei screamed in terror, the fear in his heart was indescribable.
Those horrifying wounds were even more terrifying to him than if they were on his own body.
He rushed over frantically, already holding a [powerful healing potion], and immediately poured it into Elena's slightly parted red lips.
"You... you suffered such serious injuries, why didn't you warn me? Why didn't you tell me sooner?!"
Sun Fei was both anxious and angry.
How could he not know that the peerless Valkyrie before him was afraid of disturbing him in the midst of battle and causing him trouble? That's why she didn't utter a single groan even when injured, and killed Madawc at the cost of her own life, almost sacrificing her reputation to eliminate an ancient guardian god.
Indeed, Elena's efforts played a crucial role in the victory of this battle.
If she hadn't done everything in her power to hold off Madawc, who was skilled in throwing axes, the three guardians would have cooperated seamlessly, combining their three skills—[ Flying Axe Throw ], [ Whirlwind Slash ], and [ Leap Attack ]—into one, multiplying their power. Sun Fei would definitely not have been able to reliably kill the other two guardians, and he might have really been in mortal danger in this battle.
Fourth update.
