“Light Strike!”
Seizing the opportunity when the Abyssal demon was in midair and its defenses wide open, Song Jian unleashed the most damaging move on it, the Light Strike. This strike landed on the demon’s waist, and a dazzling golden Sword Qi burst forth, its blinding light forcing Luo Tianyu to involuntarily close his eyes.
Boom!
Feeling suddenly lighter, Luo Tianyu opened his eyes again to find that the withered domain under his feet had vanished without a trace. However, the thirty spear soldiers who had been fighting alongside him were all sprawled across the ground, their Vitality Points low and growing weaker by the moment.
These thirty soldiers with spears were the most basic rank of recruited troops, with an average status of no more than ten points. The Abyssal Power within the withered domain was simply too much for them to withstand.
Witnessing the scattered spear soldiers collapsing behind him, Luo Tianyu felt a fire ignite in his chest. Without warning, he let out a roar and charged at the demon, crazily brandishing his Square Sky Halberd.
“I’ve lost my war horse, and now my soldiers too! Damn it, you’re all bullying me!” Luo Tianyu’s eyes grew red with anger.
“Tiger Roar!” With his hair disheveled and his killing intent solidifying around him like a tangible force, Luo Tianyu seemed aflame as fire surged across his body’s surface. In his hands, the Square Sky Halberd emitted a deep, roaring sound, akin to a ferocious tiger howling in the forest, causing all beasts to tremble in fear.
In this moment, the top half of the Abyssal demon had been severed by Song Jian’s Light Strike, leaving it as two separate entities. The wound from where it was sliced emitted a dense, black mist.
Yet, there was no sign of the demon succumbing to death. The top half of its body floated in mid-air, while the bottom half, only a pair of legs remaining, seemed to have its own consciousness and kicked at Song Jian.
The demon’s body was as tough as steel, and even its two legs alone could put up a fight against Song Jian. When the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword slashed at the demon’s legs, a clash of metal rang out, sparks flying in every direction.
Most bewildering of all, the upper and lower halves of the demon each had their own Vitality Points.
As the sinister-looking top half of the demon floated overhead, gazing at Song Jian, it prepared to speak, but suddenly felt a powerful killing intent surging from behind.
It turned to see Luo Tianyu brandishing his halberd while leaping into the air, his entire body emanating an aura that conjured the phantom of a White Tiger, teeth bared and claws striking towards the demon.
“Abyssal Sigh!” The demon’s right hand lifted as countless black auras converged rapidly, forming an invisible wall before it.
Boom!
To the demon’s horror, the Wall of Sigh crumbled like paper under Luo Tianyu’s assault, easily shattered by the attack.
“Impossible!” The demon’s eyes bulged in disbelief as it refused to accept its seemingly invincible Abyssal Sigh Wall was so effortlessly broken. After all, the Wall of Sigh was the most robust defense ability among the Abyssal magic.
Splash-
The Square Sky Halberd chopped deep into the demon’s shoulder, and even reached halfway through its neck.
As the purple-red blood spurted out from Da Peng, an over eight hundred critical damage number floated up from the top of the Abyssal Demon’s head, taking away its last bit of Vitality Points;
The Abyssal Demon looked at Luo Tianyu in horror, its lips trembling as if it wanted to say something, but in the end, its head tilted slightly, its Vitality Points went to zero, and it fell from midair;
As soon as it hit the ground, the upper half of the Abyssal Demon’s body seemed to have been weathered for a hundred years and shattered into a pile of ashes;
At this point, the lower half of the Abyssal Demon’s body, now only comprised of two legs, suddenly quivered and kicked away Song Jian, trying to escape towards the distance. It seemed that it sensed that its upper half had fallen and wanted to flee.
Song Jian saw that Luo Tianyu had slain the upper half of the body and watched the fleeing lower half. His heart raced, and his right foot stomped fiercely on the ground. A fang-shaped energy cluster quickly condensed and rushed towards the half-body of the Abyssal Demon;
Song Jian performed the Sword Shadow Step, his body transformed into a black shadow, chasing after the two legs of the Abyssal Demon; he had already seen that Luo Tianyu had destroyed the upper half of the Abyssal Demon’s body and only the lower half remained. If he didn’t completely slay it at this moment, would he have to wait for it to recover and come to trouble him again?!
“Spiritual Sword Control Technique, go!” Song Jian swung his sword towards the open space in front of him, and a transparent Spirit Sword quickly condensed and cleaved at the two legs that had been hit by the Earth Teeth Assault;
With the main body destroyed and only two legs left, the defense and resistance of the Abyssal Demon’s body greatly decreased. Just now, a single Earth Teeth Assault directly took away more than a hundred Vitality Points. At this moment, a transparent sword slashed toward it, instantly turning it into a pile of minced meat;
As the transparent sword disappeared, a mournful wail erupted from the pile of minced meat, and a translucent black shadow slowly emerged. The shadow’s surface was full of cracks, and golden light continuously bloomed from the gaps.
The appearance of the shadow was ferocious, two lines of blood and tears flowing from its eyes; it glared at Song Jian with a murderous aura. However, before long, the golden light in the cracked gaps grew more and more intense, ultimately engulfing the entire shadow.
System: Congratulations, you have killed the Abyssal Demon, and the Abyss Curse on you has been lifted;
System: Congratulations, you have killed the Abyssal Demon, and your relationship with the Abyssal Clan has been locked as having enmity! As long as there are Abyssal Demons, they will consider you their primary target to kill; Song Jian was stunned. “Are you serious, System? The first curse is lifted and congratulations are fine, but what’s there to congratulate about the second system prompt?”
Just then, the Abyssal Demon’s body suddenly exploded with a “bang” and dropped seven or eight items. Among these, three were glinting with silver light, and one item surprisingly emitted a faint golden glow.
“Is this… a big loot drop?” Song Jian hesitated for a moment, then his expression filled with excitement. After removing the Abyssal Curse, his luck was five points higher than that of ordinary people. Coincidentally, he had just killed a level 20 Lord-level BOSS, so having a big loot drop was quite normal.
Song Jian directly picked up the item emitting the faint golden light and saw that it was a whip.
“Abyssal Nightmare Reins (gold), after use, can summon an Abyssal Nightmare mount; once this item is used, it will automatically bind to the user; after binding, it cannot be traded, sold, or dropped.”
“A mount?” Song Jian’s expression turned a bit strange as he looked at Luo Tianyu lying on the ground, panting heavily.
“Is it my luck that’s exploding, or is it her luck?”
