"Roar..."
Under the collective bombardment from Yi Tianchen and his companions, the Sea Monster Leader howled loudly, swinging his Harpoon wildly. Yet, his attacks were either dodged or blocked. The three of them, positioned at different angles, executed a perfect combination of offense and retreat, creating a relentless cycle of chase and escape.
"Good! Keep this rhythm going!"
With his skill cooldown over, Yi Tianchen charged in with another Blade Break Slash. Although it didn't produce a knockback effect this time, it didn't hinder the follow-up Hell Combo. Two skills unleashed, and he managed to trigger a Critical Hit, instantly wiping out nearly ten thousand of the Sea Monster Leader's Vitality.
In less than three minutes, the first Sea Monster Leader collapsed to the ground, crying out, "I'll be back!"
Not far away, while Yi Tianchen's trio was busy taking down their Sea Monster Leader, Not a Master and Stinky Fish were also coordinating their efforts against another Sea Monster Leader. They had circled around it repeatedly, almost trampling a solid path into the lush green grass.
Far Apart was sweating profusely. Since the three groups were separated, he had to constantly adjust his distance based on each group's needs. Running back and forth in just these few minutes had likely covered a distance of about ten miles.
At the rear, Liu Yuhan was relentlessly targeting the approaching Sea Monsters' followers with her arrows. Lin Yan fully utilized his assassin's speed advantage, prioritizing the low-health enemies. Each strike brought down one of the Sea Monsters' followers. If they got too close to the village entrance, the fully armed villagers would also join in to help.
The most miserable situation belonged to Li Tielong. Faced with the level 45 Dark Gold BOSS, the Sea Monster King, he only needed to hold it off but still took quite a beating. Many times he wasn't able to create distance through skillful play; instead, he was ruthlessly tossed aside by the Sea Monster King's massive Harpoon.
"Damn it, you'll pay for this later!"
Li Tielong groaned as he got up from the ground and downed a level five Health Potion. Before he could run away, another gust of wind rushed past him. Turning around, a dazzling golden light was already upon him. In a panic, he raised his shield; although he completely blocked the Sea Monster King's attack, he couldn't avoid the secondary damage from being knocked back.
Mu Wanqing chased after Li Tielong while continuously casting Vitality Technique, restoring 1650 Vitality each time and ensuring Li Tielong's basic safety. Meanwhile, Li Tielong had to use Evil Temptation occasionally to draw the Sea Monster King's aggro; otherwise, it would surely turn its attention to Mu Wanqing.

"Crack..."
Suddenly, a golden Skill Radiance exploded. Not a Master and Stinky Fish paused for a moment before realizing that Yi Tianchen and his team had surrounded them. The pent-up frustration burst forth as they cursed loudly before charging towards the Sea Monster Leader with their weapons.
Faced with an assault from five players, the Sea Monster Leader's temper was understandably short. However, no matter how skilled it was, one fist could not compete with many hands. The Sea Monster Leader could only howl in agony under Yi Tianchen's group's relentless attack as its Health Points plummeted dramatically.
In just under two minutes, the second Sea Monster Leader fell to the ground.
Having dealt with two Sea Monster Leaders, only one Sea Monster King remained. Yi Tianchen and his team felt no relief; instead, their mood grew inexplicably heavy. They rushed forward, witnessing Li Tielong being mercilessly battered by the Sea Monster King, occasionally performing a mid-air spectacle of desperation.
"Little Bear, Stinky Fish, you two coordinate with me to block its attacks. Remnant, Not a Master, take the opportunity to deal damage," Yi Tianchen commanded through the team channel while activating Savage Charge. He soared upward, striking the Sea Monster King back with a powerful swing of his sword and shouted, "Li Tielong, step back and rest."
"Ah..."
Li Tielong couldn't help but shout but did not retreat. Instead, he collapsed onto the ground, lying on his back and gasping for breath, clearly exhausted to the point of near collapse. He quickly pulled out a level five Health Potion and downed it before turning to Mu Wanqing and saying, "Don't worry about me; focus on keeping them safe."
Nodding in understanding, Mu Wanqing quickly redirected her healing to Yi Tianchen and the others. Meanwhile, Liu Yuhan and Lin Yan had nearly finished clearing the small monsters. Far Apart's healing also fully shifted to Yi Tianchen's group, ensuring everyone's safety with the combined efforts of the two priests.
"Roar..."
A foul stench mixed with oceanic scents erupted from the Sea Monster King's massive jaws. Enraged, it swung its Harpoon with tremendous force toward Yi Tianchen, infused with a brutal tearing power. The Golden Radiance exploded dramatically, not only providing an impressive visual effect but also creating a significant distraction.
"Clang!"
With no way to evade, Yi Tianchen could only block the attack.
The immense force struck him instantly, causing him to shudder and stumble backward uncontrollably. At that moment, a figure flashed past him—The Terminator of Regrets rushed in swiftly and plunged a dagger into the back of the Sea Monster King's neck. With a fierce yank, he slashed across its throat.
-1253! -1270!
"Damn..."
Seeing this situation unfold, The Terminator of Regrets was astonished. The damage dealt against the formidable Sea Monster King had diminished significantly; not only was his attack power severely reduced, but even the critical hit that should have triggered was nullified. It was truly testing his mental fortitude.
Yet despite this setback, he was acutely aware of the immediate danger. After landing three consecutive hits successfully, The Terminator of Regrets quickly executed three backward jumps before pivoting sharply to evade further attacks from the Sea Monster King.
At that moment, Hero Does Not Question Origin and Stinky Fish positioned themselves just in time but were met with a Harpoon strike from the Sea Monster King that sent them flying like golf balls. As they scrambled to get back up, both wore ashen faces; their health bars had dwindled dangerously low.
Yi Tianchen marveled at how overwhelmingly powerful the Sea Monster King's attacks were. Coupled with level suppression effects, ordinary players simply could not withstand such force. Therefore, taking down this Sea Monster King would require exceptional tactics—tactics that were anything but ordinary!
But what tactics should I use?
Yi Tianchen was in a dilemma, trying to draw aggro while maneuvering around and keeping an eye on the surroundings. However, this was just a flat area at the village entrance; there were no tall trees, not even a bush or thornbush to rely on for natural cover. Clearly, using the environment to control the situation was not going to work.
"What should I do?"
Yi Tianchen silently questioned himself when suddenly he felt his body lighten. The Sea Monster King had caught up with him and launched a harpoon that sent him flying. As he hit the ground, he inevitably suffered additional damage, and his health points plummeted to below 10 percent, leaving him in a precarious situation.
"Roar..."
If the Sea Monster King could speak, it would surely be laughing triumphantly at its successful strike. Though it couldn't talk, it was relentless; seeing Yi Tianchen get knocked away, it soared after him before he even landed, swinging its harpoon in a sweeping motion, ready to deliver a fatal blow.
"Whoosh..."
Two arrows flew through the air—one glowing with fiery red light and the other shimmering with frost—striking the Sea Monster King's shoulder and chest. Damage numbers popped up consecutively as a thin layer of frost spread rapidly across the Sea Monster King's body.
Blazing Arrow Lv-2! Frost Arrow Lv-2!
