Gui Ling’s methods! The slaughter had begun!

For Gui Ling, although her early-stage strategy had gone relatively smoothly, it did not mean she could easily grind the BOSS to Death.

Because…

For an Emerald-grade BOSS, the true difficulty only began after the next phase!

Since this group had arrived, why not make use of them to observe the BOSS's skills after the next phase?

And while she was at it…

Let them help whittle down the BOSS's HP. As long as their damage contribution did not exceed 50%, the final ownership of this BOSS would still belong to Gui Ling!

This girl was no hothead.

Naturally, she wouldn't recklessly run out to attack.

In her hand, she still held a trump card skill prepared specifically for defeating this BOSS!

…

"Watch out!"

"Guild Master, behind you!"

"Pfft!"

Although the beautiful Guild Master of Yunshan Inn was a Priest, she had invested heavily in Agility early on. Combined with her equipment stats, her reaction speed was incredibly fast.

When she realized the BOSS had stealthed behind her to execute a Lightning Five-Strike Combo, she immediately sidestepped to dodge.

She only got hit once!

"Holy crap, Guild Master is amazing! She actually only got hit once!"

"Of course, otherwise why is she the Guild Master and you aren't?"

"Too strong! This operational awareness is definitely top-tier, right?"

"For sure. This BOSS's skills are too fast; I don't believe anyone could avoid getting hit at all."

A group of people in the team channel began to heap praise and compliments.

At this moment, the yellow-haired youth in the team hesitated for a moment before saying, "When I was observing that female Assassin fighting earlier, she didn't get hit even once…"

Instantly, everyone glared at him.

"Brother, your EQ is too low."

An older brother figure patted his shoulder, leaving the yellow-haired youth wanting to cry. Was telling the truth really considered having low EQ?

At this moment, the 'Assassin · Death's Child' was constantly counterattacking.

The BOSS swung out a black blade light, slashing a large fan-shaped area!

But it was dodged by the well-prepared players!

The BOSS held a dagger and attacked the team's tanks with extremely fast Common attacks.

Although the tanks had high defense and high HP, and with the Priest's healing, their HP was under no pressure at all.

However, every attack from the BOSS carried the Superior Affix 'Instant Death'. With three strikes per second, each tank could only hold out for a maximum of one and a half seconds!

Warriors with faster reaction times could slightly dodge the Common attacks.

Most Warriors couldn't dodge at all because they had stacked HP and defense, and had no advantage in terms of speed.

This meant they could only take turns holding aggro, and before long, they couldn't keep up.

The instant death gauge on everyone had already reached seventy or eighty percent!

"Increase the distance and make the BOSS trigger a skill."

The beautiful Guild Master of Yunshan Inn ordered calmly.

The Warrior currently holding the main aggro stepped back, and the BOSS indeed instinctively released a skill: black blade light!

This just happened to give the team's meat shields a little bit of breathing room.

The Warrior who had held aggro first finally saw their 'instant death gauge' slowly recover to zero. They used a Jump Slash to get into the BOSS's face and re-establish aggro…

It was clear that this team was very elite.

Their mutual coordination was very skillful.

Just at this moment, the BOSS's HP finally dropped to 50%!

"Watch out for that female Assassin. Everyone scatter and observe the BOSS's skills!"

The beautiful Guild Master gave the order immediately. She calmly observed the field, firmly believing that the female Assassin from before hadn't left.

And now that the BOSS was in its next phase, it was the best time for that female Assassin to strike!

However…

Gui Ling still didn't appear!

Instead, the BOSS's skills took them by surprise!

Because…

After entering the second phase, the 'Assassin · Death's Child's' Lightning Five-Strike Combo would actually be released consecutively at the same person!

In the first phase, it had randomly chosen people to assassinate.

In that case, everyone's 'instant death gauge' had time to slowly dissipate.

But now…

Lightning Five-Strike Combo!

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Lightning Five-Strike Combo!

"Pfft! Pfft!"

A female Archer in the team was already sweating profusely!

Although her reaction speed was fast and she was only hit by two strikes each time, after which her HP was healed back to full by the team's Priest, but…

Having endured two consecutive Lightning Five-Strike Combos, the instant death gauge on this female Archer had already stacked to 80%!

Just three seconds later.

Death's Child stealthed once again.

"Swish!"

Lightning Five-Strike Combo!

"Pfft! Pfft!"

The female Archer performed steadily; although she had concentrated her attention, she was still hit by two strikes. Her instant death gauge stacked to full, and she died on the spot!

And after she died, her corpse was instantly shrouded in black mist, then exploded with a bang!

In that instant, all the players in the surrounding team had their instant death gauge stacked by 20%!

And furthermore…

The corpse of the female Archer, even after Death, was still entwined with black mist; it looked like it would continue to explode again before long!

This was the terrifying aspect of Death's Child!

"At the current stage, aside from Teacher, very few people can kill an Emerald-grade BOSS."

"The biggest reason is these Superior Affixes!"

"Do you really think this BOSS is so easy to fight?"

Seeing this, Gui Ling still wasn't in a hurry. She remained hidden in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity like a viper.

In the field, the people from Yunshan Inn saw this, and their expressions changed drastically.

"Everyone move! Get fifty meters away from the corpses and relocate the fight!"

"Pull the BOSS out too!"

The beautiful Guild Master of Yunshan Inn commanded immediately, having everyone move in the same direction at once.

While the group was relocating, the female Archer's corpse exploded with black mist once again.

It stacked another 20% instant death gauge on the players who were slow!

And during the process of the group relocating…

Death's Child stealthed once again.

Lightning Five-Strike Combo!

A middle-aged Priest, because they were still repositioning, didn't react in time and was struck by three blades, dying on the spot!

Then…

The middle-aged Priest's corpse was similarly shrouded in black mist, beginning to spread 'Instant Death energy' to the surroundings!

"Damn it!"

"If we could perfectly dodge that Lightning Five-Strike Combo, not getting hit by a single strike, then wouldn't killing this BOSS be as easy as slaughtering a chicken…"

Everyone realized where the problem lay.

Their reactions…

…were still too slow!

But they didn't give up.

The players in the team exhausted all their efforts, finally leaving the area where the two corpses were located. After pulling the BOSS out, they continued to focus their DPS!

"Our damage output isn't bad."

"Maybe we can kill the BOSS before everyone dies…"

"Everyone, give me your burst damage!"

Just like that, they fought while relocating. The number of corpses entwined with black mist left on the field grew more and more, and the entire stone ruin was shrouded in black Instant Death energy, exploding constantly!

This made the two Government players observing this scene from the side a bit nervous.

"Damn, they wouldn't actually be able to kill this BOSS, would they?"

"According to the current situation, it's unlikely, but it is indeed possible. It just depends on how the people perform next."

"Why haven't the Shadow people made a move yet? Could they have been scared off?"

They watched the situation unfold, and it could be said they were even more nervous than the parties involved.

Just at this moment.

Just when the BOSS's HP was whittled down to 30%, suddenly, the BOSS was enveloped by a layer of eerie black mist…

In an instant, the BOSS's speed skyrocketed!

Abyssal Potential Curse!

Gui Ling, who had been hiding on the side, finally made her move!

She cast the curse directly on the 'Assassin · Death's Child', instantly doubling all of the BOSS's attributes for 20 seconds!

In an instant…

The slaughter had begun!

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Before the remaining thirty-plus people of Yunshan Inn could react, they were instantly killed by the BOSS's Common attacks. The speed that erupted caused the expressions of the remaining people to change drastically!

"Thank you all for helping me whittle down over 40% of its HP. You've saved me some time."

After casting the curse, Gui Ling stealthed again, waiting quietly on the side!

In her calm eyes, the scene of the Yunshan Inn players being wantonly slaughtered by 'Death's Child' was reflected!

And these players being brutalized by the BOSS…

…had no idea that they had become a part of Gui Ling's scheme!

From the very beginning, they had absolutely no possibility of defeating this BOSS. Everything they did was entirely helping Gui Ling save time in killing the BOSS!
