The Heavenly Thunder roared, continuously striking the Beihai Demon Dragon, but the dazzling lightning was blocked by an invisible force.
Atop the Beihai Demon Dragon’s head, a fierce warrior clad in golden armor wielded a great sword, flaunting his prowess. Above him, yellow light swirled like a luminous cloud, dispelling the falling Heavenly Thunder—this was Long Wushang.
Though his blood volume was at its limit, he appeared exceptionally formidable, clearly having activated the Second Stage or even the Third Stage.
He swung his treasure sword, unleashing a sky full of Sword Qi, while the giant dragon beneath him spewed chilling breath.
The Five True People couldn’t withstand him, constantly dodging his attacks.
Meanwhile, the surrounding players flew around like headless flies, not daring to engage directly, only hurling various long-range skills frantically, regardless of whether they caused any damage, as long as there was some action.
However, those who could output stably were the Thunder Masters and Heavenly Masters; the Thunder Skill, capable of ultra-long-range output, posed a threat even to the Demon Dragon soaring in the nine days.
These Thunder Masters and Heavenly Masters hailed from various guilds, as the Thunder Skill is the classic attack spell for the Taoist, practically mastered by all Taoists, and Thunder Masters and Heavenly Masters specialized in the Thunder Skill are the two most accessible advanced professions for Taoists.
At the moment, five Thunder Masters and Heavenly Masters occupied the mountain peaks, continuously casting thunderstorms.
Yet all were blocked by the invisible yellow light above Long Wushang’s head, leaving Xiao Jie marveling at this warrior-type Boss’s ability to wield such miraculous spells.
Indeed, world bosses are not easily dealt with.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Xiao Jie realized it was not easy to approach due to the Beihai Demon Dragon’s Fury Breath, Long Wushang’s formidable Sword Qi, and the summoning of Heavenly Thunder by the Thunder Masters and Heavenly Masters, which could easily cause accidental injuries.
A proper angle was necessary.
He decided to gain the high ground.
He thought, then began ascending swiftly.
After flying to the cloud layer above the Beihai Demon Dragon’s head, he stopped.
At this moment, the battle had reached a fever pitch. Long Wushang was riding the Beihai Demon Dragon, swirling and somersaulting in the air, surrounded by five True People and dozens of player experts, attacking like a swarm of bees.
Meanwhile, in the clouds above the nine days was a person gritting his teeth, watching the battle below.
"Damn Wang Xie, useless waste, we agreed you’d use your big move, and now you’re dead, leaving me high and dry after all the plotting together."
Divine Calculation Sky Demon muttered to himself, his heart filled with evil fire.
His and Wang Xie’s scheme was indeed brilliant; once the battle started, whether Long Wushang or the Five True People were defeated, Wang Xie would activate the Heavenly Demon Body Refining Array to transform the dead into Demons, then rejoin the battle. The remaining side would surely struggle to resist.
As for the players—the Heavenly Demon Body Refining Array could transform not only bosses but also the Little Monsters cleared by the players into Demons.
Then the players would naturally be overwhelmed.
At that time, he could also seize the moment to kick someone when they’re down...
If both the Five True People and Long Wushang were settled, the Boss’s treasure drop would naturally become his, and even the Five True People might drop some valuables.
Although the drop rate for Worldly Experts is very low, usually only one or two items, but five combined is quite a considerable gain.
Plus Long Wushang’s drop, this deal was well calculated, except for the one misstep leading to total defeat.
With Wang Xie dead, everything was in vain.
"What do we do, boss? Should we still make a move?" asked Tree Under the Cicada cautiously.
He wasn’t very disappointed, having already obtained the Earth Dao Chapter from Wang Xie, although it was unfortunate not to benefit further.
"Of course we should move; since we failed to smartly earn the benefits, we’ll strong-arm it. As long as we land the last strike, we could still get a drop, pity about the Ascension Items..."
Tree Under the Cicada seemed a bit skeptical, "With so many people, can we snatch it?"
"Hmph, Dragon Soaring and Aoao Niubi Empire are using guild contribution mode for priority pickup rights, meaning despite their numbers, each guild counts as only one pickup slot.
With the Five True People and these seven people only, if I give it my all in the last strike, there’s still a chance. Just see my Immortal Law." Latest content published on novel·fire·net
"Boss, look—someone’s coming up."
Divine Calculation Sky Demon looked down, seeing a giant eagle glowing with lightning, carrying a person, breaking through the clouds, rapidly approaching.
Huh, that person is—Hidden Moon Following Wind! Divine Calculation Sky Demon instantly became furious.
This person ruined his plan!
Xiao Jie saw the two people in the clouds and was startled, immediately becoming cautious.
He had indeed foiled Divine Calculation Sky Demon’s scheme. Luckily, the opponent seemed restrained, without an intention to act rashly.
"Hello, Brother Tianmo, long time no see."
Xiao Jie stopped from afar, hovering with his wings spread, loudly greeting.
The last encounter was at an inn in Xiaofeng City where the opponent invited him to join the Pantheon.
Oh, the person beside him looked familiar too.
Tree Under the Cicada... wasn’t he the Taoist friend met once at Xuanxu Palace? Learning the Human Dao Chapter together from the Evil Man.
How did he end up teaming up with Divine Calculation Sky Demon?
