Absolute Destiny Game-Chapter 873 - 75 The Cicada Sheds Its Shell

Long Xingtianxia’s gaze darted uncertainly between Long Wushang and Wang Xie. Which one was it? Which of them had the Ascension Items?

At this moment, he still could not make a definitive judgment.

Of course, he could also place bets on both, dealing with both simultaneously, but Long Xingtianxia knew very well that he was not the only one eyeing the Ascension Items. Not only was the Supreme Emperor watching intently from the sidelines, but a Pantheon was also secretly observing. Betting on both might result in losing both.

He had to go all-in, and his hand could only play one specific Boss.

The Supreme Emperor standing next to him clearly had the same thought.

The two of them looked at each other simultaneously.

"Brother Emperor, there are two Bosses, but only one Ascension Item. How about we each choose one, and whoever gets it leaves it to chance?"

"Hehe, that idea suits me well. Since it’s your proposal, let me choose first—I’ll take Long Wushang!"

Long Xingtianxia sighed. As expected, the other side also chose the same Boss.

Long Wushang is the final Boss of the New Empire Army and the highest level among the six World Bosses. If there really is an Ascension Item, it would certainly be on him.

"Hmph, what an unfortunate coincidence, my choice is also Long Wushang."

"Then we can only rely on our abilities."

"Exactly so—brothers, get ready!"

At this time, the battle had already been going on for some time. Those NPCs had already stabilized the Boss’s aggro, and the little monsters around the Array had been mostly cleared. It was the right time to take action.

"Ranged team, start your output! Be careful not to accidentally hit the NPCs."

Upon Long Xingtianxia’s command, arrows rained down instantly. Those skilled ranged players, whether shooting arrows or throwing hidden weapons, all acted swiftly.

Each member of the core group was a top player, with terrifyingly high hit rates. Even though Long Wushang was fighting fiercely with the three True Men, they could still accurately bypass the NPCs and hit their target.

The melee group felt rather helpless, as they dared not intervene in such a high-level fight.

The Supreme Emperor also gave the command to start the operation.

As for those solo players and small guild groups, they unanimously headed towards Wang Xie, quite in harmony—they had willingly left Long Wushang to the two major forces.

They knew nothing about the Ascension Items, regarding all World Bosses as potential sources of Legendary Treasures. To them, any Boss would do, and perhaps Wang Xie, being a Magic System Boss, might drop something even better.

Meanwhile, the Alliance Army soldiers quickly formed a defensive line in the surrounding area and started fighting with the reinforcing New Empire Army soldiers.

Long Wushang, as expected of a version Boss, wielded the Dragon Abyss Sword and continuously unleashed various powerful Boss Combat Skills, fighting the three True Men to a standstill and holding his own against three adversaries.

However, the constant shower of arrows became truly bothersome for him, not causing much damage, yet irritating like mosquito bites.

More troubling was that some magic system players soon began casting various Taoist Demon Techniques and Ghost Curse Divine Power on him. Although Long Wushang was shielded by True Dragon Qi, rendering normal spells ineffective and exempting him from various negative magic,

offensive spells were mostly offset by the True Dragon Qi within his body.

Still, a few powerful spells did cause him some discomfort.

The key issue was the relentless attacks from three powerful opponents, putting him at an eventual disadvantage.

Falcon Wind Continuous Slash!

Shing-shing-shing, several sharp Sword Qi forced the three of them back, as Long Wushang suddenly leapt into the sky, shouting, "Hanyuan, my servant, appear quickly!"

The clouds rolled in the sky as a cold wave swept down, glittering with scales and dragon-like. Then, a giant blue-scaled dragon, about forty to fifty meters long, crashed down.

Hanyuan (Beihai Demon Dragon): Level 62 World Boss, Life Value: 32000.

Boom! The huge body of the Demon Dragon drove the three True Men to retreat, while Long Wushang took the opportunity to pounce ferociously on Master Xiao Yue.

Faced with three opponents, the pressure was quite high, but one-on-one, he was full of confidence.

Flying Dragon Sky Fall Slash!

His figure descended from the sky like a flying dragon, delivering a fierce strike. As the Sword Qi struck, a dragon-shaped Qi Force spiraled downwards.

Boom!

Master Xiao Yue hurriedly ascended backward but was still struck by the dragon-shaped Qi Force.

Long Wushang, not letting up, relentlessly slashed Sword Qi at Master Xiao Yue. Just as Master Ming Yue and Venerable Red Eyebrow intended to assist, they were repelled by the Beihai Demon Dragon’s pounces and claws, forcing them to focus on defense.

Master Xiao Yue struggled to parry left and right, seeing no way for his two teammates to provide support. He gritted his teeth, charged his Dual Blades with power, and suddenly unleashed two simultaneous full-moon cold glows.

Secret Technique—Double Moon Sky-cutting·Heaven Dog Slash!

"Good timing!" Long Wushang didn’t retreat but instead advanced, adopting a charging posture with the Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand.

Secret Technique—Heaven-piercing Dragon-slaying Flash!

In an instant, the world turned dark as a golden sword light pierced through the shadow of the Double Moon Blade, leaving a blood mark on Master Xiao Yue’s left chest.

Thud! Blood spattered from Master Xiao Yue’s back.

-1273 (Heavy injury)!

With just one strike, he took out one-fifth of Master Xiao Yue’s Blood Volume.

Master Xiao Yue groaned with anger on his face, crossing the Dual Blades before his chest, not daring to attack actively anymore.

Looking at Long Wushang, he appeared overjoyed, "Hehe, you’re too weak. What’s this Gray Wolf Howling at the Moon nonsense, anyway." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Carelessly deflecting the incoming arrows, ready to continue the chase to vanquish this strong opponent, he suddenly heard a scream from the Magic Altar behind him.

That scream was uncannily familiar. Long Wushang turned his head in surprise to see Wang Xie, struck dead on the spot, turned to charcoal by a Thunder Skill each from Master Qingfeng and Longhua True Man.

What!?

Long Wushang was immediately taken aback. How could the State Preceptor just die like that?

Master Qingfeng and Longhua True Man were equally perplexed. Were they truly that strong? Demon Path King Evil was someone capable of stirring the world, even defeating the Great Wilderness Hermit, and yet he was dispatched so easily?

No matter, it was fortunate they could now support Mr. Xiao Yue.

But the players involved in the encirclement noticed something was off. Damn, this Wang Xie hadn’t dropped anything at all—he definitely wasn’t dead.

At this moment, Wang Xie felt immensely pleased with himself. He had employed the "Demon Technique: Golden Cicada Shell Technique," leaving behind a molted dummy to die in its place, while his real body had long since teleported to a hidden Painting Realm he had prepared in advance.

The location was precisely that cliff at the mountain top.

"Hahahaha, these fools, keep fighting, keep fighting. When both sides are exhausted and one perishes, it’ll be the time when my Demon Refining Array truly shows its power.

Wang Xie glanced at the illusion in the sky, thinking smugly, all he had to do was patiently wait for the right moment...—uh? Who’s there!

Turning around, he saw the mountaintop platform, where the Magic Altar should have been, now lay in ruins. The Great Wilderness Hermit charged forward head-on.
