In a deep ditch on a plain, an Armored Warrior exposed half of his body. He was shimmering in white light as he hurled strikes on a gigantic red tiger before him. Behind him, a short distance away, an Orc Priest and a White Elf Sky Vagabond were taking turns at healing him so that he may resist against the attacks of the gigantic red tiger.
Indeed, there was someone attacking Crimson Tiger King!
Li Yi quietly crept over.
The HP displayed on top of Crimson Tiger King was showed 2360000/6500000.
Once he got a look at the trio’s faces, Li Yi was struck.
He knew the three of them.
Armored Warrior, Fallen Star; Orc Priest, I Love Beast Beast; and White Elf Sky Vagabond, xxx.
I Love Beast Beast and Fallen Star were key figures of Star Fire Guild. So naturally, Li Yi recognized them. As for that remaining White Elf Priest adorned in a golden silk long robe and spotting a pair of coquettish eyes, it was Li Yi’s first encounter with her in this life. However, in his past life, Li Yi was quite familiar with her.
The Savage Tribe Chief’s woman, Hua Fei Wu’s elder sister, Hua Feihua.
Hua Feihua was pretty and charming and has a pair of flirtatious eyes that could entice just about anyone, anywhere. She was different from her brother. Her younger brother sold out his girlfriend while she sold herself…
From the beginning, she was the woman of Savage Tribe’s Chief. It was said that both of them were engaged in real life sans the wedding and reception.
Savage Tribe’s Chief, Milk Dipper Solitary really has vigor. He single-handedly founded the flourishing Savage Tribe, earning dough that others could only be envious of.
It was a shame. Although Milk Dipper Solitary has an eye in making money, the same could not be said of his standards in women.
Hua Feihua was Milk Dipper Solitary’s girlfriend on the surface but at the same time, she dabbled with a few other men behind his back and one of them, was Star Fire Guild master, Yang Xingchen.
From the very beginning, outsiders only knew Milk Dipper Solitary and Hua Feihua were an item. Not many knew that Milk Dipper Solitary and Yang Xingchen were best friends in real life until an exposé post emerged on the official web. It was stapled with illicit love affair photographs of Hua Feihua and Yang Xingchen. It stirred up a huge sensation.
Savage Tribe and Star Fire were famous guilds and now embroiled in a scandal, how could their opponents let them off the hook?
There were various doxing and tip-offs going on. One has to admit that the power of netizens was not to be reckoned with. It was not long when the whole truth began to surface.
Hua Feihua was playing the field with three men. She was so occupied to the extent that once she just left Yang Xingchen’s place, another would ring her up. She went over right away and was at it for 3-4 hours. She then dragged her tired body back to Milk Dipper Solitary’s place to doze off…
Loose, high-class prostitute, sl*t…
When Hua Feihua gained her repute, the incident of Hua Feiwu selling out his girlfriend was not exposed yet.
The sibling duo, Hua Feiwu, and Hua Feihua really were a one-of-a-kind pair.
Savage Tribe’s aim was to serve as long as they were paying clients, regardless of their identity. However, as Milk Dipper and Yang Xingchen were best friends in real life, Savage Tribe has always been partial to Star Fire. This confidential matter was only revealed after the exposé of Hua Feihua scandal.
Hua Feihua’s field-playing was only uncovered two years later but an assessment from the current situation suggested Yang Xingchen and Hua Feihua’s relationship have been brewing for a long time now…
Li Yi hid from afar to observe for a while and understood what was going on.
As the famous top ten tankers in his past life, Yang Xingchen’s main tank skills were top notch. Shield Block has only a 1 second reaction time but 0.5 seconds proved to be the best reaction time. He could block in less than 0.5 seconds each time, minimizing the damage taken.
His main tank skills have no issues but the ATK of this trio party served a huge problem.
As everyone would know, main tanks have high DEF, high HP but low ATK. Yang Xingchen was no exception. His HP was about 2000+ but his ATK was not even around 200. When he struck Crimson Tiger King, the highest damage was [-50]. The other two priests were out of the question, they were already pushing it by continuously healing him, their ATK contribution was zero.
Such a weak offense could only keep them from dying. How could they manage to cause such a wide drop of HP?
Li Yi’s gaze lingered at a dull green one-handed sword in Yang Xingchen’s hand. He immediately came to a realization.
Vile Tongue Stake, a Level 25 gold-colored rare weapon with a 50% chance to poison the target for 10 seconds. It took effect every two seconds, reducing target’s current HP by 1%. Should the poisoned target’s level be higher than the weapon by 15 levels, then the percentage of the target from being poisoned would be reduced by 1%.
“How crafty, using Vile Tongue Stake to reduce HP and hiding in a ditch to avoid the Vicious Tiger Stomp. Not a bad strategy,”
Li Yi praised them genuinely.
If it were up to him, he would too make use of the terrain to avoid the tremors of Vicious Tiger Stomp and adopt kiting tactics until it was dead.
It was easier said than done though.
Li Yi carried with him 200 bottles of Red-Blue potions, in preparation of a protracted battle with the boss.
If it was him fighting this battle, he would require at least seven or eight hours…
Crimson Tiger King was angered and stomped the ground. A huge shock wave extended over a hundred meters.
Vicious Tiger Stomp was a strong ATK and could cause Dizzy Mode. Once one was hit, death was almost imminent.
Seeing Crimson Tiger King in rage, Yang Xingchen and the rest immediately crouched in the ditch, letting the shockwave sweep past their heads.
With a sweep of its tail, they continued to lie low. The set-up of this nondescript ditch in the plain was quite ingenious. Only those who were proficient in using it dared to challenge Crimson Tiger King unassisted.
Vile Tongue Stake’s poison effect was powerful. Crimson Tiger King’s HP dropped at a quick pace. With the two healers constantly healing, Yang Xingchen’s HP remained above 1000.
“Keep it up and carry on.”
“Idiot, Crimson Tiger King would not be that quick to use Trample, crouching down already? That’s just being too cautious.”
“That’s right, the Priests are good at their HP and their mana is sufficient, tossing a few Light Balls could help take down the HP.”
Li Yi was cheering the trio on from the back.
Time was moving on swiftly and Crimson Tiger King’s HP was dropping at a constant rate. Yang Xingchen’s party were beaming with joy and became even more cautious in battle. They were afraid a slight mistake would cause their efforts to go in vain.
Once Crimson Tiger King’s HP was left at 15000, Yang Xingchen became excited and grabbed a potion to drink. His body became red. It was the pricey Unlimited Fury Potion!
With Unlimited Fury, it continued on swiftly. I Love Beast Beast at the back tossed a few Light Balls in between. Victory was just ahead of them, they could not wait to take down Crimson Tiger King.
“We’re almost there, haha!” I Love Beast Beast laughed out in elation.
Crimson Tiger King’s HP was at 5000+.
“Swoosh!”
“Swoosh!”
It was about time for Li Yi to make a move.
He was not shooting at Crimson Tiger King. The two arrows were headed for I Love Beast Beast and Hua Feihua!
“Twang!
“Twang!”
[-802]
[-756]
Two critical hits. Li Yi’s high ATK damage killed I Love Beast Beast and Hua Feihua at the same time.
“Old Beast?
“Lil Hua?
“What happened?”
Yang Xingchen turned around to only meet with Li Yi’s arrow.
“Twang!”
[-639]
Crimson Tiger King slashed a claw from behind and Yang Xingchen collapsed immediately. With a sparkle of green light, Vile Tongue Stake dropped on the ground.
Li Yi did not stop. After the downfall of Yang Xingchen, he immediately struck Crimson Tiger King.
A few arrows later, Crimson Tiger King let out a cry before collapsing onto the ground.
System Notification: [Congratulations, you have successfully killed the Level 40 boss, Crimson Tiger King. Announce individual information to the world?]
“Yes!”
Li Yi ran towards Crimson Tiger King’s carcass.
[This event has been recorded in Pantheon Hall of Fame!]
[Player, Dark Wing has achieved the first kill of Level 40 World Boss, Crimson Tiger King. System reward 5000 Gold Coins obtained! System reward 3000 points Reputation Value in various major cities obtained! System reward 150000 EXP obtained! Additional +2 Skill Points obtained!]
Ignoring the system spam in red, Li Yi picked up Vile Tongue Stake and immediately went to loot Crimson Tiger King. He did not spare a further glance at his loot and quickly secured them into his bag.
“Dark Wing, how dare you backstab me!” Yang Xingchen roared in rage.
Li Yi snickered and spat at Yang Xingchen, “Yeah, so I did. So what?”
“Don’t you leave if you have the balls!”
The trio released their souls altogether…
Li Yi did not leave, instead, he merely took a few steps back and smiled coldly at the three corpses.
He was never a kind soul. Yang Xingchen had conspired against him in the dark plenty of times and he has always kept them in mind. He was always trying to find a way to get back at him and today was the chance. If he did not seize that opportunity, then he shall not be called Dark Wing anymore.
Yang Xingchen and the duo stood up.
Vile Tongue Stake was dropped so Yang Xingchen could only take out a Fine Steel Longsword from his bag and held in his hands.
“Dark Wing, we never interfered with each other’s business.
“I need to ask you this, why did you attack me?!”
“So you’re telling me that it wasn’t Star Fire that forced me to quit the guild and ordered Century Flower and Huashan to topple Little Drunk Cat?”
Yang Xingchen’s face darkened and did not reply. His feet were carefully inching, calculating the distance to start charging.
“You dare not reply? So you’re prepared to play dirty?”
Li Yi snickered coldly and intentionally walked forward by a few steps. The distance was just right for Yang Xingchen to charge towards him.
“Die, m*th*rf*ck*r!”
Yang Xingchen was excited and his body became a vague shadow as he charged forward…
“Explosive Ape!”
Just before Yang Xingchen came in contact with him, Li Yi whistled and summoned Explosive Ape out.
His charging was a direct hit and Yang Xingchen immediately exerted Muscle Rupture to lessen Li Yi’s speed.
“Hoot!”
“Hoot!”
[-279]
Explosive Ape pulled a series of Violent Strikes at the back of Li Yi’s head. Right, it was making matters worse and adding on the dizziness.
Dark Devour!
Li Yi knew from the start that the monkey could not be trusted so he waited until Yang Xingchen charged over to summon it.
He was going to be dizzy and it did not matter how many modes one was under, Dark Devour could wipe clean every kind of mode.
Making use of his Fiery Boots, Li Yi dashed out twenty meters in an instant.
“Hoot!”
“Hoot!”
Explosive Ape lost its attack target and switched to the nearest Yang Xingchen, slamming him with Violent Strike until he was dizzy.
Li Yi drank a bottle of Intermediate-Level Fury Potion and launched his arrows promptly. He fired an arrow followed by Chain Arrow Skill.
[-580]
[-760]
[-670]
Yang Xingchen could not block in Dizzy Mode. I Love Beast Beast and Hua Feihua both could not keep up with the healing as with three critical hits, he was killed by Li Yi with one move.
“Hoot!”
“Hoot!”
Explosive Ape launched an Enhanced Charge against Hua Feihua. Without needing Li Yi’s help, three blows were enough to claw Hua Feihua to death.
“Twang!”
[-560]
It was a bull’s eye. I Love Beast Beast collapsed…
“Even if I don’t play dirty, can you defeat me?”
