The incarnation of the Demon King: Bloody Double-Blade Mantis!

The seventh Demon King avatar was a blood-red insect resembling a praying mantis, with blade-like arms.

Its pair of thin, translucent cicada wings and crimson compound eyes immediately locked onto Qin Feng's location upon appearing, flying towards him to slash!

"Good heavens."

"It can see me?"

This was just like the muscular giant bird from before.

Qin Feng was instantly slashed by the blood-red insect!

On his remaining 100 HP bar, a gray HP bar of 4.078 billion appeared instantly, and Qin Feng gained a negative status that shortened buff durations by 20%!

Seeing the blood-red insect waving its blade-like arms and turning to attack again, Qin Feng raised his hand and unleashed a 'Dark Burst'!

This was a skill from the Death Eye Bloodline, which, when activated, could deprive surrounding enemies of their five senses for 20 seconds!

Previously, facing the muscular giant bird that could also see him, Qin Feng hadn't been this nervous.

Because that muscular giant bird couldn't threaten Qin Feng at all.

But now, this blood-red, double-bladed insect clearly posed a huge threat to Qin Feng!

After Qin Feng's all-attributes were reduced by 85%, Qin Feng's Agility was more than halved, making it impossible to dodge this guy's attacks.

If he didn't take action, according to the double-bladed insect's methods…

In less than half a second, Qin Feng would be attacked dozens of times and die a miserable death on the spot!

"With insufficient Agility and ineffective Evasion, an assassin's survivability is truly too poor…"

Even Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder many people looked down on an assassin's survivability, because an assassin's survivability really wasn't good.

Each of these Demon King avatars possessed absolute hit and damage ignoring capabilities, so how could an assassin with low defense and little HP withstand them?

Not to mention, there were also various negative statuses that reduced Qin Feng's damage reduction far too much…

In Qin Feng's rough estimation.

The basic attack of this blood-red mantis's double blades now reached 5-6 trillion!

If it were the original Qin Feng, he wouldn't be afraid of this much damage, as his own basic damage was a thousand times higher than this; he couldn't even kill himself, so why would he fear this?

But after being weakened so much by the Demon Well, this five to six trillion basic damage was already very fatal.

Of course, the most important thing was the 20% reduction in buff duration…

If it kept stacking, just ten attacks would reduce Qin Feng's buff duration to only one-tenth.

Twenty attacks, and it would be only one percent!

And with the blood-red insect's double-blade attacks, it could launch forty to fifty attacks per second!

Therefore, Qin Feng could not possibly survive more than one second under the assault of this Demon double-bladed mantis.

He could only take action!

And this action was 'Dark Burst'!

However, what chilled Qin Feng's heart was that when Dark Burst was cast, a 'five senses lost' status did appear under the blood-colored insect's HP bar, and it did lose Qin Feng's position after Qin Feng flew away.

But the loss of five senses only lasted 0.5 seconds!

"This is a 97.5% reduction in negative status duration?"

One must know that the base duration of Dark Burst was 20 seconds!

Fortunately, Qin Feng's Small Eyes of Death were powerful, directly locking onto the blood-red mantis with a hundred Death Eyes, stacking its 'five senses lost' status to permanent!

Kneel-Worshiping Great Emperor!

Qin Feng planned to use the same trick again.

However, as soon as the skill was cast, a blood-light flashed across the blood-colored mantis's body, clearing all negative statuses on it!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Instantly finding Qin Feng's location, it slashed twice more, flying through him.

Without hesitation, Qin Feng activated 'Echo of the Sanctuary' again, attempting to use the same method to counter-kill the blood-colored mantis.

It was a pity that when the mantis attacked again, it instantly raised its double-bladed arms, blocking all of Qin Feng's counter-attacking normal attacks!

And when normal attacks were blocked and did not take effect, naturally, they could not trigger the ultimate skill bound to 'Concealed Murderous Intent'…

"What the heck?"

Seeing the '- 0' and '- 0' numbers floating above the blood-colored mantis's head, Qin Feng was stunned.

This Demon King avatar, awesome!

It must be said, this was indeed one of the most terrifying opponents Qin Feng had ever encountered.

Ignoring the stats, just its speed and blocking ability were already top-notch and powerful!

And seeing Qin Feng at a disadvantage, Demon King – Shi Fang Ju Mie seemed satisfied!

However, just then…

"I originally wanted to just brute force my way through, but now, it seems I can only rely on skill."

Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh.

Surely no one really thought he had no skill, right?

Just as the blood-colored double-bladed mantis launched its next attack, Qin Feng instantly seized the moment it attacked, and preemptively launched a normal attack directly in front of himself!

Judgment Blade and White Sprout Blade swung out rapidly, combined with five Shadow Clones, perfectly timing it so that as the blood-colored double-bladed mantis attacked, he sidestepped and normal-attacked more than ten times!

This triggered 'Annihilation Blade' three times, with the first dealing 7 billion damage, the second 6.3 billion damage, and the third only less than 5.7 billion damage remaining.

It was clear that Qin Feng's damage had been weakened far too much!

Especially Annihilation Blade, because this skill was both physical damage and particularly dependent on Agility, and finally, its final damage was reduced by 85%…

It was equivalent to being weakened three times in a row, with its damage reduced to only three-thousandths of its original value!

In addition, when attacking, both he and the blood-colored mantis were in rapid motion, meaning they didn't receive the movement speed damage bonus from the Deathwing Angel Bloodline, so it was perfectly normal for it to not deal damage.

And the reason Qin Feng switched the ultimate skill bound to 'Concealed Murderous Intent' was not because of the skill's damage, but for the percentage-stacking Instant Death Affix!

Unfortunately, in just 0.2 seconds, a blood-light flashed across the blood-colored double-bladed mantis's body again, cleanly clearing the continuously stacking Instant Death Affix on it.

"It seems I can still only rely on damage."

Qin Feng felt a bit regretful, but he wasn't discouraged.

He directly switched the ultimate skill in Concealed Murderous Intent.

He used the ultimate skill 'Crimson Blade', which he hadn't used in a long time!

He had even thrown this skill into the Spirit Devourer Bloodline, but now it was perfectly suitable to use, because this skill's base damage was blood attribute damage, not physical damage, so it was similar to Magic Shadow Blade and wasn't weakened too much!

What's more, Qin Feng had already evolved this skill to Ancient-Grade.

Its Mythic effect was that when Crimson Blade was cast, there was a chance for double, triple, or up to quadruple casts.

The new effect added at Ancient-Grade was that the cast Crimson Blade would also deal increased damage to targets with higher HP.

Originally, it only had an execution effect, at most increasing damage by 200% when the target's HP was below 30%.

And now, it gained high HP damage increase, able to increase damage by up to 200% when the target's HP was above 70%!

The two effects stacked together, allowing Crimson Blade to have extremely high burst damage whenever it was used!

Originally, this skill couldn't compare to Instant Extinction, nor to Annihilation Blade, but it wasn't far off. Now, with the ebb and flow, it was much more useful than those two physical damage ultimate skills!
