7: Chapter Seven: Total Annihilation

The BOSS's formidable attributes made him gasp in shock.

15,000 HP!

380 Attack!

50 Defense!

Let alone him right now, even if a group of Level 10 class-advanced players came, they would be slapped to death in droves!

"Looks like I have to get serious..." Lin Feng gripped the Lone Blade tightly. His heart pounded wildly, but he didn't run away immediately.

There were no small monsters around the BOSS; it was clearly guarding this area alone.

And judging by the situation, Super Blaziken had just spawned not long ago and was still in a berserk state with full health and full aggro.

With the BOSS's movement speed, his 15 points of Agility might not be enough to pull away.

"But..."

"Since I've run into it..."

"There's no reason to run."

Lin Feng quickly backed out of the BOSS's aggro range, using the trees to conceal his figure as he observed the BOSS's movement patterns.

But just as he was preparing to make his move, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

"Young Master Long, listen! What's that sound?"

"It sounds... it sounds like there's a big monster...!"

Outside the woods, a chaotic flurry of footsteps approached, accompanied by arrogant shouting.

Long Aotian, leading over fifty lackeys, happened to stumble into the edge of this BOSS area. At a glance, he spotted Super Blaziken, as well as Lin Feng hiding under the trees not far away.

Long Aotian was taken aback at first, then became ecstatic:

"A BOSS?! It's actually a BOSS!!"

"Hahaha, heaven is on my side! This young master is indeed destined for greatness, encountering a BOSS as soon as I arrive!"

"Equipment, experience, first kill... mine... they're all mine!"

The lackeys around him were also trembling with excitement:

"Young Master Long is awesome! This BOSS looks super loaded!"

"Go get it, Young Master Long! Kill it and we'll be number one in the entire server!"

Long Aotian looked at the BOSS nearby, then glanced at Lin Feng to the side, shouting harshly:

"Hey, kid over there!"

"Listen up, this BOSS belongs to me, Long Aotian! Get lost, or I'll kill you too!"

Lin Feng: "..."

"Why the fuck aren't you scramming yet? Do you really want to die?"

Seeing that Lin Feng ignored him, Long Aotian flew into a rage and was about to order his men to attack.

Hearing Young Master Long's anger, several players around him immediately grew eager to move.

They were all holding wooden swords and wearing ragged clothes, which made him find it a bit amusing. These noobs actually wanted to kill him?

However, since the other party had strength in numbers and he didn't want to expose his strength too early, he slipped away and quietly retreated into the dense forest.

Long Aotian scanned the surroundings, and after confirming that Lin Feng had left, he cursed fiercely, "Little brat, you ran fast!"

Turning to look at the extremely arrogant Super Blaziken, greed and hubris once again overwhelmed his remaining rationality. He waved his hand and roared at the fifty-plus lackeys behind him:

"Brothers, the BOSS is right in front of us! Charge together, hack it to death, and the god-tier equipment will be ours! From now on, the entire Novice Village will be under our control!"

"Kill!!"

A group of brainwashed lackeys howled, raising their broken wooden swords and charging toward Super Blaziken without looking back. The scene was grand, as if victory was already in their grasp.

Holding an iron sword, Long Aotian stood at the back of the group, planning to wait until his lackeys wore down the BOSS's HP before rushing up to land the final blow, monopolizing the first kill and the loot.

He had even begun to fantasize about dropping top-tier equipment, skyrocketing in level, and being worshipped by players across the entire server.

However, the next second...

"-1"

"-1"

"-1"

...

Densely packed -1 damage values floated up from Super Blaziken's head, instantly dousing everyone's enthusiasm.

"Y-Young Master Long! We can't deal any damage! We can't break its defense!"

"We... seem to have kicked a steel plate."

"How is that possible?! What the hell is wrong with this trash game?!"

"Useless! A bunch of useless trash! Hack it harder! Whoever retreats, I'll kill them!" Long Aotian's face contorted in anger.

But just then—

"Squawk—! Squawk!!"

Super Blaziken was thoroughly enraged. After a violent roar, its leg muscles swelled, and it swept out with a fiery kick.

[Skill: Flame Kick!]

-360!

-351!

-500 (Critical Hit)!

White lights flashed one after another as the three players at the very front were instantly insta-killed.

This wasn't the end. With Super Blaziken's roar, a second wave of skills struck again!

[Skill: Flame Charge]

Instantly, panic spread like wildfire.

"Run!!"

"Help! Young Master Long, save me!"

"Don't come over here! Don't come near me!"

Super Blaziken pursued them, its body erupting like surging flames. Wherever it passed, streaks of white light flashed continuously.

Hiding in the distance, Lin Jiu watched this scene, deeply shocked.

"What a fucking good guy."

Fortunately, Long Aotian's people arrived early! Otherwise, the one taking the brunt of this BOSS's skills would probably have been him!

The fifty-odd people on the field couldn't even last half a minute against the BOSS.

In the end, only Long Aotian and a player with the ID "Shao Nian Qing Kuang" remained. The latter clearly held a rather high status.

Shao Nian Qing Kuang had a helpless look on his face, "Sigh, what's meant to be will be, Brother Long. I told you already, stealing monsters is wrong..."

"Screw you... we're about to die, and you're still saying such ominous things."

Long Aotian slumped on the ground, looking as if he had nothing left to live for.

With a Fiery Claw descending from the sky, two flashes of white light went off, and both Long Aotian and Shao Nian Qing Kuang were instantly killed!

The forest fell silent once more, with only the angry low growls of Super Blaziken echoing.

From the dense forest, Lin Feng slowly stepped out, looking at the mess before him and sighing inwardly.

A bunch of noobs who couldn't even break its defense actually dared to touch a BOSS of this level?

They were truly seeking their own deaths.

Now, the annoying trash had been completely cleared away.

Finally, it was his turn to take the stage.

Slowly looking at Super Blaziken, which was still in a berserk state, Lin Feng still felt a bit apprehensive.

This was a solid suppression of both level and attributes; the pressure was indeed quite tangible...

Lin Feng took a deep breath, quickly formulating a tactic.

His talent skill was his only capital to contend with this death-god-level BOSS in front of him.

The only thing he needed to watch out for was the BOSS's "Flame Charge" skill. He had witnessed the power of this skill with his own eyes just now.

Furthermore, after using the skill, the BOSS's speed would be a major step faster than his.

What he had to do was dodge it...

This was a double pressure on both mechanics and mental focus.

He couldn't care less anymore. Worst case, he'd just die trying!

Striking first, he opened with Ten-Step.

His figure turned into a flash of lightning, instantly teleporting behind the BOSS as skill damage floated up!

"-87"

[Ding! Ten-Step Kill triggered! Paralysis effect active for 3 seconds!]

[Ding! Shadow Strike passive activated! Backstabs are guaranteed critical hits!]

-42 (Critical Hit!)

-42 (Critical Hit!)

-42 (Critical Hit)

The damage wasn't high, barely breaking its defense. After finishing his attack, he immediately retreated and ran, refusing to linger.

After a round of attacks, Super Blaziken's health bar only decreased by a tiny sliver,

roughly a little over 1%.

And it was slowly regenerating; unless he attacked continuously, it would take a very long time to kill it.
