Haunted Mansion, three stories high.
The formidable and arrogant bodyguard, Blood Prison, let out a triumphant roar after binding Yi Tianchen. He then swung his Steel Blade in a half-moon arc, unleashing a streak of bloodlight that cut through the air with deadly precision.
However, in that fleeting moment---
System Notification: Player [Light Cold Evening Snow] has exited the team!
System Notification: Player [Light Cold Evening Snow] has initiated a malicious attack against you. You have lost 1020 points of Vitality and entered a state of legitimate defense for 300 seconds!
As the attack struck, Yi Tianchen took action the moment his bindings were released. He swung his Dragon's Roar horizontally, managing to block the lethal strike.
Block! 70%! -1850!
Yet, Liu Yuhan's timely and decisive rescue did not save Yi Tianchen from danger. The force was too great, causing Yi Tianchen to stagger back several steps, unable to steady himself. Meanwhile, Blood Prison gathered strength once more and charged at Yi Tianchen with another vicious slash.
"Bang!"
The blade fell, blood splattered. Yi Tianchen felt a sharp pain in his chest as he was knocked back over three meters. In front of him lay Stinky Fish, completely motionless. The world fell silent, save for a notification echoing in the air---
System Notification: [Bodyguard Blood Prison] used skill [Blood Fury Blade Lv-4], ignoring 50% of the target's defense. Target [Stinky Fish] lost 6020 points of Vitality and has died!
"Damn it!"
With an angry roar, Yi Tianchen sprang to his feet, gripping Dragon's Roar tightly in one hand while raising a Level 5 Health Potion with the other and downing it fiercely. He then let out a powerful howl as dark energy swirled silently around Blood Prison---
Death Howl Lv-1!
“Wanqing One side, ready!”
With that, Yi Tianchen had already vanished like the wind. Concern flickered in Liu Yuhan's eyes, but she knew there was no stopping him now. After switching back to Mirage, she raised her hand and unleashed a Frost Arrow. Although its damage was not as high as Yi Tianchen's, the freezing and slowing effects remained effective.
They say impulsiveness is a devil, but it can also unleash incredible power. As the distance closed, Yi Tianchen executed a swift upward slash, grazing the chest of the close-quarters blade guard, Blood Prison. He followed up with a fearless assault that sent sparks flying.
At the same time, Hero Does Not Question Origin and Li Tielong were completely enraged, swinging their weapons with all their might. Even Lin Yan, who had yet to make a move, took advantage of his sharp Speed to deliver sudden strikes against the close-quarters blade guard, Blood Prison.
“Don’t try to overpower him; focus on teamwork!” On the outskirts, Liu Yuhan sent a party request but received no confirmation from Yi Tianchen. She realized he was caught up in his emotions and was only focused on taking down the close-quarters blade guard, Blood Prison, ignoring everything else.
Nevertheless, Liu Yuhan continued to attack rapidly. Arrows rained down like bullets, each one perfectly following its predicted path to hit the target without causing unnecessary harm to Yi Tianchen and the others.
Hell Combo Lv-1! Blade Break Slash Lv-2! Heavy Strike Lv-2! Flame Thrust Lv-2! Sweeping Thousands Lv-2! Backstab Lv-2! Piercing Strike Lv-2! Blazing Arrow Lv-2! Frost Arrow Lv-2! Rapid Fire Lv-2!...
One skill after another erupted in an orderly fashion, enough to give the close-quarters blade guard, Blood Prison, a serious challenge. However, given the limited skills and cooldown times, they were far from sufficient to match the frequency of use by Yi Tianchen and his companions. After a round of concentrated attacks, their encirclement strategy was immediately turned upside down.
“Roar…”
A foul stench erupted like dust, followed by a chilling roar that heralded the arrival of merciless blood-red blade energy wrapped in a chilling killing intent. It was as if a clear sky suddenly darkened with thick clouds that collapsed in an instant, leaving one breathless.
“Bang bang bang bang!”
The blood light swept through; none were spared! Yi Tianchen, Li Tielong, Lin Yan, and Hero Does Not Question Origin were instantly knocked back as glaring damage numbers popped up before them, accompanied by system notifications---
System Notification: 【Close-Quarters Blade Guard · Blood Prison】 used skill 【Blood Fury Blade Lv-4】, ignoring 50% of the target's defense. Target 【Yuyanran】 lost 6520 points of Vitality. The player has died!
System Notification: The Close-Combat Blade Guardian, Blood Prison, used the skill Blood Fury Blade Lv-4, ignoring 50% of the target's defense. The target, Hero Does Not Question Origin, lost 5890 points of Vitality, and that player has died!
Behind them, upon hearing the System's notification, Mu Wanqing and Far Apart were momentarily stunned, a look of desolation appearing in their eyes. Faced with four targets, it was impossible for them to cover everyone at the same time; thus, they chose to focus on the heavily armored Yi Tianchen and Li Tielong.
“Tianchen, Li Tielong, you can't win against it!” Liu Yuhan bit her lip. Although she hadn’t received the System’s notification, seeing Lin Yan and Hero Does Not Question Origin’s situation made it clear that both had been instantly killed. Anxious, she called out again.
“Swish, swish, swish…”
Five arrows were swiftly released as Liu Yuhan pursued the Close-Combat Blade Guardian, Blood Prison. However, due to Yi Tianchen drawing too much aggro, there was nothing she could do. Seeing Blood Prison chase after Yi Tianchen once more filled her with worry; all she could do was continue attacking, hoping to chip away at its health.
Yi Tianchen dodged rapidly. After this life-or-death encounter, he gradually calmed down. After consuming a Level 5 Health Potion, he used unpredictable movements to evade successfully. As he glanced back, the heat in his eyes was replaced by a chilling determination.
“Li Tielong, be mindful of your positioning; Liu Yuhan, unleash your full power; Wanqing, focus your healing on me!”
With a flick of Dragon's Roar in his hand, Yi Tianchen issued commands while pulling Liu Yuhan into the team. His gaze turned icy as he fixed it on the Close-Combat Blade Guardian, Blood Prison. “Now, struggle for your own fate!”
“Swish…”
Savage Charge activated as Yi Tianchen dragged Dragon's Roar and soared upward. His body swayed left and right before sliding up in an instant. A “MISS” notification popped up as Blood Prison’s powerful strike was evaded.
Death Entanglement Lv-2!
Unfolding a dark circle that cascaded downwards and spread beneath Blood Prison's feet. At the same time, Yi Tianchen dashed around Blood Prison in a zigzag pattern. When it missed another attack, he struck fiercely with Dragon's Roar.
After landing a hit, Yi Tianchen jumped back momentarily. Using the weight of Dragon's Roar to add momentum to his body, he executed a sharp slide. Just as Blood Prison turned around, Yi Tianchen slipped behind it like an eel and launched another strike upward.
Soon, those present began to realize the underlying intricacies. Yi Tianchen's seemingly effortless movements were, in fact, governed by stringent and hidden requirements. Each of his steps was based on the blind spots of the personal guard, Blood Prison, meaning that at this moment, Blood Prison could not capture Yi Tianchen's figure at all.
"Good! Well done!"
Li Tielong laughed heartily as he charged forward with his spear, braving the fierce attacks from Blood Prison and creating opportunities for Yi Tianchen to strike. With Liu Yuhan's supportive attacks and the healing from Mu Wanqing and Far Apart behind him, Yi Tianchen gradually gained control of the battle.
One minute passed... three minutes passed... five minutes passed...
"Roar..."
The chilling roar still echoed, but it was now laced with despair. Yi Tianchen gripped Dragon's Roar tightly, his gaze sharp as a sword. He downed a bottle of Level 5 Health Potion and thrust forward like a dagger, landing a powerful strike. With Li Tielong's positioning, he followed up with another swift blow.
-3966! -4023! -4110!...
Suddenly, an angry and desperate roar erupted as Blood Prison's towering figure abruptly halted. The glowing eyes dimmed, and it collapsed like a mountain crumbling down---
