Chapter 653 - 202: Soul Travel at the Village Entrance, Lord Mode
Boom!
The Dark Scarecrow’s head tilted 45 degrees backwards before abruptly snapping back, ruby-like eyes bursting with blood light, staring straight at the approaching Li Zheng.
Li Zheng felt as if his body was stuck in a swamp, his fist struggling to move forward.
Boom!
The release of spiritual power intensified, and just as Li Zheng’s fist was about to hit the scarecrow, it was instantly thrown away by an invisible force.
As he flew backwards, Family Shared Godfather released the Life Soul Characteristic "Blood Chain Traction," and a blood-colored chain suddenly wrapped around his waist, pulling him back down to the ground with a heavy feeling of descent.
"Brother Li, let me handle this."
As the team’s only damage tank, Family Shared Godfather grinned, then directly charged towards the Dark Scarecrow.
His left hand condensed a rock shield while running.
At that moment, a mental shock wave struck again.
Family Shared Godfather decisively activated the Life Soul Characteristic "Indomitable," dispelling the invisible force surrounding him.
Then, a "Heavy Hammer" slammed into the Dark Scarecrow’s chest, but it caused no harm nor any dizziness.
It’s clear that the judgment effect, the dizziness from the Heavy Hammer, couldn’t penetrate the Dark Scarecrow’s Spiritual Strength defense.
A thick, ink-like Dark Mist surged from the scarecrow’s withered fingertips, like a tidal wave towards the Liver Emperor Group.
Realizing this was a range attack, Family Shared Godfather decisively activated the Life Sharing Characteristic, connecting to the nearest Li Zheng.
Then, dense Ink Flame Fireballs flew in from afar, pushing the Dark Scarecrow’s figure back, and black flames erupted on its body.
In this initial skirmish, Li Zheng and other players from the Liver Emperor Group felt immense pressure.
The Dark Scarecrow was a rare spiritual Evil Spirit; besides Family Shared Godfather being able to resist it, Li Zheng found it hard to approach.
Players like Killing Heart and Chi Tu dealt damage from afar, but the damage was quite limited.
The Dark Scarecrow could create a Dark Shield with its spiritual power, easily resisting long-range physical and magic system attacks.
Throughout the tussle, Li Zheng repeatedly drank potions to restore blood levels.
Fortunately, their coordination was seamless.
As long as Family Shared Godfather didn’t fall, they could outlast the Dark Scarecrow.
With victory in sight, the Death Scarecrow suddenly split its mouth open and emitted a piercing shriek.
The sound waves swept over; even those like Chi Tu at a distance were affected, falling into a brief daze.
"Not good, there are other Derivative Evils approaching nearby."
Always maintaining the Eagle-headed Demon Perception state, Chi Tu promptly announced.
"Run or continue!"
"Kill!" Li Zheng chose to continue fighting without hesitation.
The Dark Scarecrow’s spiritual shield was already full of holes, and its straw-woven body was badly damaged.
Victory was in sight; he didn’t want to leave in disgrace.
Gang Qi surrounded him, Li Zheng suddenly activated the Power Barbarian Attribute, hammering his right fist into the Dark Shield.
Boom!
His figure was again thrown by a mental shock wave while the scarecrow’s dark shield shattered.
Flying backwards, Li Zheng decisively raised his hand, condensing blood qi into a blood-colored chain in his palm. After twisting his body in mid-air, he swung it towards the Dark Scarecrow.
The blood-colored chain slithered in the air like a spirit snake, quickly wrapping around the scarecrow’s neck.
Li Zheng exerted force, pulling himself towards the scarecrow.
The scarecrow floated upwards with the force.
"Meteor Fist."
Activating Extreme Speed Characteristic to the fullest, his right fist, enveloped in Gang Qi, shook like a cramp, morphing into a multitude of fist shadows.
At this time, teammates sent over the Blood Burning Trait, causing muscles to instantly bulge like inflating.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The frenzied onslaught fell like raindrops, scattering the scarecrow’s body in the air, while Challenger Tips rang out in the Liver Emperor Group players’ minds.
After white light flashed on Li Zheng’s body, the Main Life Soul "Gang Qi" was upgraded to Level 50.
Just as his figure landed, he heard Chi Tu’s exclamation in the chat channel:
"Brother Li, big ones are coming."
He immediately turned his head to look, seeing three Headless Knights charging from afar, holding scythes.
They rode massive Flame Bone Horses, their hooves making heavy and strong sounds on the ground, as if they might shatter the earth.
Each Headless Knight was surrounded by substantial dark mist, like countless vengeful souls drawn around them.
The huge scythe in their hands flashed with cold dark light, now raised high, its blade subtly glinting with dark red blood patterns.
As the Headless Knights rapidly approached, the temperature around them plummeted, cold as needles piercing to the bone.
Darkness, like an enormous curtain, enveloped rapidly from the Headless Knights as the source.
Analysis swept through.
[Nightmare Knight (Derivative Evil)]:
Hunting Level: 87
Target Description: Derivative Evil shrouded in Death Aura, usually appearing under a Waxing Moon, or in a Full Moon Scene (Full Moon Scene’s form is: End Knight), possessing strong physical attack capability and defense power, the Death Aura it releases imposes weak states on nearby targets continually.
...
Discovering the approach of three Derivative Evils at Hunting Level 87, Li Zheng and others decisively turned and fled.
This battle held no suspense.
Fighting meant death; escape offered a glimmer of chance.
"Brother Li, wait for us, protect the mage!"
"Protect, my foot! You quickly run the opposite direction to buy me escape time. I really can get away, you’re short on legs, might as well die!"
