Jiang Chen stopped in his tracks and turned to look at An Siqi.
"I’m serious," An Siqi said. "If there’s 99% damage immunity, then why isn’t there 100%? Although your Sword Qi has a penetration effect, 100% damage immunity would make it impossible to kill them. I’m just reminding you."
"Since you live under the Alliance of All-Gods, you must obey the rules set by the Alliance. Never try to challenge the rules; such an action only leads to death."
An Siqi’s expression was grave, and his words made Jiang Chen think deeply.
There really is such a possibility. After all, who can be certain?
An Siqi continued, "Do you know why I have this task? It’s because I offended someone influential, and he assigned me this task, ensuring I could never complete it, effectively trapping me here. But then you appeared, and I saw hope again."
"Doesn’t that mean I’ve offended him then?" Jiang Chen mused. "I’m starting to have some regrets."
An Siqi was speechless.
The three of them continued forward, with Angelina diligently pocketing the equipment they found. Most were common items, but they could still be sold for a good amount of money. Angelina was tireless when it came to making money.
They soon reached the third layer.
By now, Jiang Chen had leveled up from 46 to halfway to 47, having killed at least eight hundred Blood Moon creatures along the way.
Seeing his experience points skyrocket, Jiang Chen regretted not coming sooner.
The monsters on the third layer were level 46. The experience gained from them was slightly higher.
A Double-Headed Blood Demon appeared before the trio. Its eyes were blood-red, and its stature towered at eight meters—a formidable monster blocking their path.
An Siqi looked at the monster ahead. "That’s a Double-Headed Blood Demon, a minion of the Blood Moon Demon King. It’s very powerful..."
SWOOSH...
Three Hundred Sword Auras rushed forward, and in an instant, the Double-Headed Blood Demon was slain.
An Siqi remarked, "Forget what I said."
"How much do you know about the Blood Moon Demon King?" Jiang Chen asked.
An Siqi shook his head. "Not much. I’ve never heard of anyone killing a second-stage Blood Moon Demon King.
"But rumors say that the Blood Moon Demon King has high offensive power, a rapid attack speed, and can also launch poisonous attacks.
"Moreover, its attacks have certain special effects, capable of inflicting poison, paralysis, confusion, and more on its enemies.
"Once, members of the Sakura Alliance, much like me, took on this task. They formed a legion of over a thousand experts, all first-stage or higher, intending to enter the sixth layer and kill the Blood Moon Demon King.
"In the end, the legion was annihilated; only a few escaped. According to their recollections, the Blood Moon Demon King was impossible to defeat. That’s all the information I have."
Jiang Chen pondered.
What I don’t know is the Blood Moon Demon King’s attack range—whether it’s beyond a hundred meters or within. If it’s within a hundred meters, it would be much easier to deal with. With Dragon in the sky and Sword Array, it would be sufficient to kill the Blood Moon Demon King.
An Siqi added, "However, since it’s a second-stage Demon King, if it drops equipment, it’s bound to be top-notch—possibly even a Legendary Set. In any case, the Blood Moon Demon King is the mightiest Demon King in this world."
"Let’s head into the sixth layer first and see," Jiang Chen declared.
The group proceeded directly and quickly reached the fourth layer.
[Level Upgraded to 47]
They cleared the fourth layer.
[Level Upgraded to 48]
And then the fifth layer.
[Level Upgraded to 49]
Standing at the entrance of the sixth layer, Jiang Chen halted.
"Little Na, prepare your buffs. We’re about to go in."
Angelina nodded, casting buffs on Jiang Chen and An Siqi before the three of them entered.
The sixth layer contained few monsters. Instead, it was a vast swamp surrounded by small, spider-type creatures.
[Blood Moon Spider]
[Level: 45]
[HP: 90,000/90,000]
[Physical Attack: 350-500]
[Physical Defense Power: 390-450]
[Magical Defense Power: 390-420]
[Hatchlings of the Blood Moon Demon King. Beware their toxins, which can cause confusion, poisoning, and loss of resistance.]
Everywhere Jiang Chen looked, there were these spiders—at least several hundred of them. Just as the trio entered, hundreds of spiders frantically rushed towards them.
HISS HISS HISS...
With Sword Array Mode and Heavenly Ruler Dragon Mode activated, Jiang Chen moved through them. The spiders were swiftly slaughtered, dying instantly without a chance to attack the trio.
The three of them continued forward.
They soon saw the legendary Blood Moon Demon King.
It resembled a mountain peak several dozen meters high, surrounded by sharp claws, each also dozens of meters long. Beneath the peak were several caves, continuously spawning spiderlings. Several meters below the summit, a red glow emanated; from a distance, it resolved into a pair of blood-red eyes.
An Siqi stared at the Demon King, utterly stunned.
Is this the legendary Blood Moon Demon King? Is this the Demon King that makes heroes tremble at its mere mention? It’s too terrifying; a monster like this is impossible to fight!
An Siqi finally understood why a legion of a thousand people had been slaughtered within minutes.
At the same time, the Blood Moon Demon King’s eyes focused in Jiang Chen’s direction, apparently having discovered the trio’s tracks.
Jiang Chen stopped, sensing a massive, dark presence.
"Everyone, be careful!" he warned. "This Blood Moon Demon King won’t be easy. You two, keep your distance and absolutely do not get close."
"Little Chen, you be careful," Angelina reminded him, her gaze fixed on the Demon King.
"I know," Jiang Chen replied. "Both of you stay back. I sense that the Blood Moon Demon King has a super long-ranged attack, possibly exceeding 100 meters."
"What should we do then?" Angelina asked.
"No worries, I have a plan," Jiang Chen said.
He cast a buff on himself: [Sky Gang Sword Body].
This was Jiang Chen’s defensive skill. One hundred applications of [Sky Gang Sword Body] reinforced him, and he simultaneously activated all his modes, especially Sky Flashing Mode. This was very important.
Jiang Chen slowly approached the Blood Moon Demon King.
The Demon King also sensed Jiang Chen’s presence. Just then, Jiang Chen used Flash in the Void, instantly retreating to the entrance.
Simultaneously, dozens of spikes shot up from the spot where Jiang Chen had just been standing; he had narrowly avoided being hit.
"Huh..."
This attack method seems so familiar.
"The Blood Moon Demon King has a super long-ranged attack," Jiang Chen warned An Siqi and Angelina. "It can extend spike-like protrusions from underground. You absolutely cannot move forward; you must stay by the entrance. Once you enter the Blood Moon Demon King’s attack range, you will definitely be killed in one shot."
An Siqi’s face was grim. "So strong. It’s an indiscriminate attack. This Blood Moon Demon King is too terrifying."
"Little Chen, perhaps we should just retreat," Angelina suggested. "I feel this Demon King is incredibly powerful, completely different from the other demon kings."
"Don’t worry," Jiang Chen reassured them. "Although it uses indiscriminate attacks, there’s a discernible magic power fluctuation each time it launches one, which I can sense. Besides, I have the Teleport skill. Its attacks may not be able to hit me."
Jiang Chen took a deep breath and used Flash in the Void.
He teleported forward, entering the Blood Moon Demon King’s attack range. At that exact moment, dozens of spikes burst out from where Jiang Chen was now standing. These spikes shot up from the ground without any warning, ambushing him.
But just as the Blood Moon Demon King launched its attack, Jiang Chen used Flash in the Void again, instantly evading it.
With a mere thought, Jiang Chen directed Three Hundred Sword Auras towards the Blood Moon Demon King. The Sword Array activated, and one hundred Sword Auras swirled around the Demon King, attacking it relentlessly.
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH...
