"Wah wah wah wah …"
A group of elite bandits were burning in the narrow tunnel, especially those loyal bandits and diehards who had low HP to begin with. One by one, they fell in the flames and turned into charred skeletons.
Bai Xiaowen's Kusanagi Sword could only be recharged once a day. That was true.
However, "only recharging once" did not mean that it could only be used once.
The first use of Shiki Orochi that he had just used was recharged in the past. He had not used today's recharge opportunity yet.
Bai Xiaowen had recently made a small fortune, so he had plenty of Psionic Points. After using it, he directly used today's recharge opportunity. He spent 10000 Psionic Points to increase the number of uses of Shiki Orochi to 1/1 again.
Seeing that the bandits were still stubborn, Bai Xiaowen immediately gave them another barbecue education.
The effect of the two powerful Orochi Orochi attacks was amazing.
The few diehards at the front were directly burned to death. Many of the bandits who followed behind were also seriously injured. All their attributes were reduced by half, and they lost their combat ability.
The bandits further away were only affected by Shiki Orochi's power. They lost a few dozen HP, but their combat ability was still there. However, these bandits were not diehards. After seeing the amazing power of Bai Xiaowen's two big moves, the hesitation in their hearts was quickly magnified. They hesitated for a while, not knowing what to do.
The key was that Bai Xiaowen's face was not red, and he was not panting after using two big moves in a row. He did not consume any energy at all. This performance undoubtedly made the bandits even more fearful.
"Who else?"
Bai Xiaowen's eyes swept over them. As far as his eyes could see, the bandits lowered their heads and retreated.
Bai Xiaowen snorted and turned around, his back facing the bandits.
Some of the bandits quietly retreated and slipped toward the entrance of the cave.
With someone taking the lead, the other bandits who were not strong-willed also retreated.
Seeing that he couldn't stay in the Cliff Mine any longer, it was better to find another place. These bandits were all high-quality talents who could fight on horseback and shoot arrows. They would not have to worry about not being able to find a job in any bandit's nest. If they really couldn't find a job, they could just ask a few friends to work for them. There was no need for them to go against this mysterious and powerful adept.
Ian roared angrily, "You bunch of deserters, hurry up and come back here! Whoever dares to escape will be beheaded when I catch them! "
As soon as he said this, the bandits ran even faster.
Bai Xiaowen said calmly, "Mr. Ian, don't even think about dragging your partner into this mess. Just go on your way."
"Bah! You can scare those cowards, but you can't scare me! " Ian coldly snorted. "You must have used some kind of powerful magic tool to cast that terrifying spell. You don't have that kind of strength! Isn't it your limit that you can release it twice? "
"Hehe, you want to test me?" Bai Xiaowen sneered. "I don't need that kind of large-scale spell to deal with the two of you."
Ian was about to say something when he suddenly heard a scream. It was from one of his elite guards, his loyal follower.
While Bai Xiaowen forced the bandits to retreat with two shots of Orochi, Li Shuyi and the others had not been idle. They had been besieging the remaining elite guard.
The bandit's attack was strong but his defense was weak. After his attacks were blocked by three skeleton swordsmen, his weak defense was exposed to agility professions such as Li Shuyi and the Shadow Assassin.
In just a few seconds, the elite guard's HP had been reduced by half.
"Damn you … Accept the punishment of justice!"
Ian suddenly pointed the warhammer in his right hand. Bai Xiaowen, who was at the entrance of the tunnel, suddenly had a bad feeling. In the next second, an illusory warhammer burning with holy fire smashed into his head.
The Spiritual Realm's laws prompted:
"Bandit Leader Ian's unknown skill has been activated."
"Compared to the enemy's Spirit, you will be stunned for six seconds …"
"The effect of Sincere Heart has been activated. You will receive a 20% reduction in the control time. The stun effect will last for 4.8 seconds!"
The smooth movements and exquisite coordination of Bai Xiaowen's summoned creatures froze for a moment. It was as if there was no one commanding them, and they fell into a stalemate situation where they could only fight on their own.
The series of notifications made Bai Xiaowen quietly heave a sigh of relief.
"So the last skill of the boss is a control skill, and it's used on me … This is good, this is good."
Bai Xiaowen's body glowed. He immediately used the Green Lotus Seed (Mature) to remove the five-second stun effect.
Fortunately, he was a hero, and his priority was high enough. In addition, the Mature Green Lotus Seed also had three additional priority points. That was why he was able to remove the stun effect. After all, Ian was also a Bandit Leader with a hero template. The priority of this stun effect was also as high as Level 7.
If Ian's target had been Li Shuyi, Bai Xiaowen would have had to carefully protect Li Shuyi. After all, her priority was one point lower, and she would not be able to remove the stun effect.
Of course, Ian had his reasons for attacking Bai Xiaowen. He could tell that Bai Xiaowen was a summoner. The Wrath Claw, Skeleton Mage, and other summoned creatures were all his summoned creatures. It was common knowledge that when a summoner was stunned, the summoned creatures would lose most of their threat.
In that instant, Ian had already knocked away the Wrath Claw and was trying to rush toward the last elite bandit guard. However, after Bai Xiaowen removed the stun effect, he immediately ordered the Skeleton Mage to use Lightning Throw to stun Ian and stop him in his tracks.
The Wrath Claw had already lost a lot of health points. However, it still charged forward bravely and separated Ian again. This made his rescue attempt useless.
Soon, the last elite bandit guard was killed.
Now, only Bandit Leader Ian was left. This Level-6 Boss was indeed very strong. However, from the way he fought with a one-handed hammer and a shield, it was obvious that he was good at defense. In terms of attack power, Ian was actually not much stronger than the two Level-7 elite bandit guards.
The three skeleton sword-and-shield warriors surrounded Ian. The Wrath Claw roared into the sky and activated its Howl skill. Li Shuyi also activated Devilfire Dance. From afar, Bai Xiaowen activated his pistol's burst shooting mode. The Skeleton Mage also used what little Spirit it had left to release Lightning Throw.
It could be said that the two trump cards, [Howl] and [Devilfire Dance], were prepared for the final attack on Ian.
Ian's defense was indeed very strong. His Constitution was already as high as 48 points. Coupled with the set of silver armor and the additional defense from the [Devout Aura], his total defense was more than 70 points.
What did 70 points of defense mean?
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were only Level-3. When they attacked Ian, all physical damage would be forcibly reduced by 70%!
Regarding the damage reduction of defense, some people had already figured out the rules of the Spiritual Realm. It was related to two factors.
The first factor was the total defense of the attacker (the natural defense from Constitution and the additional defense from equipment). The higher the total defense, the higher the percentage of physical damage reduction.
The second factor was the level of the attacker. The higher the level of the attacker, the lower the percentage of physical damage reduction. Therefore, high-level Awakened ones had a certain advantage when fighting low-level Awakened ones. Of course, the effect of this factor was slightly smaller.
Bai Xiaowen's Desert Eagle was a Gold gun that had been strengthened to + 4. Its attack power was definitely not low. However, when the shot hit Ian, the damage was only in the single digits. Fortunately, after activating the burst shooting mode, the rate of fire was very fast. While Bai Xiaowen's Spirit was quickly depleted, it also allowed him to temporarily play the role of an agile shooter.
Li Shuyi's single attack was about the same as Bai Xiaowen's. It also did not exceed 10 points. It should be noted that this was the case when the Wrath Claw's [Howl] skill increased the attack power by 20%.
The damage of the Wrath Claw's attack was also greatly reduced. As for the Shadow Assassin, it was even more unsightly.
The Skeleton Swordsman? The three of them had basically given up on attacking. Instead, they held their shields with both hands and acted as the frontline of the team, using all their strength to block the attacks of the bandit leader, Ian.
Fortunately, Ian's defense was high, but his magic resistance was relatively low. When the Skeleton Sorcerer's Lightning Throw hit him, it still caused close to 20 points of damage.
Li Shuyi's Devil's Flame Dance became the main force of the team's damage output. Streaks of fiery light shot out along with the sword's radiance. Wisps of fire energy accumulated in the body of the bandit leader, Ian.
The entire team used every ounce of their strength. Both sides were like taut bowstrings, waiting to see who would break first.
With a clang, a Skeleton Swordsman's HP was depleted. It was smashed into pieces by Ian's hammer.
Ian paused for a moment, then swung his hammer horizontally. His target was Li Shuyi, who posed the greatest threat to him.
Li Shuyi only took a small step to the side. The Rapier in his hand pierced forward at high speed without stopping at all. Although this was a one-handed attack, it contained 45 points of Ian's Strength. If it hit Li Shuyi, seven or eight of his bones would definitely break and he would lose his ability to fight.
Li Shuyi didn't waste the opportunity to attack by dodging. This was because he had absolute trust in Bai Xiaowen.
Another Skeletal Shield Bearer with low HP raised its shield to meet the attack, raising its shield at an angle.
Although the Skeleton Swordsman's defense was ingenious, the difference in Strength was too great. The Skeleton Swordsman's body slid backward, leaving a deep imprint in the stone ground. His bones cracked.
Ian stepped forward and smashed the Skeleton Swordsman with his shield, smashing him into pieces. There were dozens of bloody holes of varying depths on Ian's back. Blood was gushing out. It was a gruesome sight.
However, Ian didn't seem to care. The hammer in his right hand emitted a holy light again, smashing the third Skeleton Swordsman's head into pieces.
The last Skeleton Swordsman's iron shield had long been shattered. However, under Bai Xiaowen's command, it dutifully pounced forward and hugged Ian's hammer.
Ian shook it twice but couldn't break free. Realizing that the hammer was too heavy, he gave up on it and punched out with his metal gauntlets. His target was still Li Shuyi.
This time, it was the Shadow Assassin. She had the Racial Passive Ability to reduce physical damage by 50%. She crossed her arms and blocked the punch. However, she was sent flying like a pebble. She crashed into the wall of the mine and slowly slid down.
In just a few breaths, Ian's HP had dropped by dozens again. He swung his shield and used [Shield Bash] again.
Bai Xiaowen didn't have much Mental Strength left. He turned off Rapid Fire and used Deterrence, which had just come off cooldown, to interrupt Ian's action.
"Good job!" Li Shuyi praised. Ian's Shield Bash was like a train ramming into the enemy. Its single-target damage was terrifying. If he used it successfully, there would be more casualties.
Bai Xiaowen drank a mouthful of Rice Wine and pulled his Mental Strength back a little. He steadily fired the gun with his right hand and smiled. "Calm down. It's just a basic move."
For Bai Xiaowen, it was a basic move. For others, it was an ingenious move that could only be interrupted once in ten times.
Finally, Li Shuyi's Dance of Devilfire ended. The explosive effect was activated, and the accumulated Fire Force in Ian's body exploded.
"Holy Light, protect me!" Sensing the danger, Ian roared angrily, and an eggshell-like light shield covered his body. It was obviously a shield-type skill.
However, in the next second, Ian spat out a mouthful of blood. A damage number suddenly appeared on top of his head.
42 points.
+ 7 Blazing Dance's explosive effect. When the accumulated damage is unleashed, it ignores all shields and additional Magic Resistance!
Ian's Life Points instantly dropped to less than 30 points. He knelt on the ground weakly and tried to cough something out. However, all he coughed out was dark red blood clots.
Bai Xiaowen restrained his summoned creatures and Li Shuyi, waiting for Ian's shield to disappear. Besides, who knew if Ian would suddenly go berserk when he was on the verge of death? There was no need to worry now. Bai Xiaowen could just shoot at him from afar.
The bullets hit the surface of the shield, causing ripples to appear.
Ian looked up and panted. "You're not the Lord of White Stone Town. That Lord doesn't have your strength … Who are you?"
"I'm the Lord of White Stone Town, but I'm not the one you know," Bai Xiaowen said as he stopped shooting.
Ian seemed to understand something. He gave up fighting and sat on the ground.
"You … must be curious. Why did I, a knight, end up as a bandit …" Ian suddenly sighed sadly and shook his head. "This was not my intention. It's just that I can no longer turn back … I, I hope the Holy Light will forgive me …"
"If the Holy Light forgives you, then there's no justice to speak of." Bai Xiaowen curled his lips. Regardless of their positions, he really did not care about Ian. Ian was not a chivalrous bandit who robbed the rich to help the poor. He did not even have a conscience if he could do such a thing to White Stone Town.
Ian smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe … Maybe. Lord Dior, I beg you to gather the Blackwind Bandits under my command and guide them to the path of justice … This is something I can't do. "
The shield on Ian's body slowly dissipated, and his body collapsed.
A notification came from the Spiritual Realm.
"Bandit Leader Ian lost 12 Life Points."
"Bandit Leader Ian lost 15 Life Points."
"Ian died."
