Four successful hits allowed Li Shuyi's two passive abilities, Battle Zeal and Wind Thunder Combo, to stack up.
With the 20% armor reduction, Li Shuyi was able to fight more easily. She had already figured out Ricardo's attack pattern. She kept moving sideways to avoid Ricardo's one-handed hammer attacks and also avoided the heavy shield in front of her. She looked for an opening to deal damage and then immediately retreated. She wasn't greedy for DPS.
Bai Xiaowen secretly nodded. Li Shuyi's adaptability wasn't bad.
When Li Shuyi was fighting the Boss, she had been under the protection of Bai Xiaowen's summoned creatures. The environment was relatively safe, so she had been thinking about how to maximize her damage output. But now that she was fighting the Boss alone, Li Shuyi's fighting style quickly changed to guerrilla warfare. She took full advantage of her high agility and the speed advantage of the Blood Lord's Emblem.
She would rather lose her damage output than take the enemy's attacks. As an agility-based Warrior, trading HP with a high level Physique Boss was undoubtedly a stupid move.
Moreover, when the Blood Lord's Wrath was active, Li Shuyi had 20% lifesteal and 15% attack damage bonus. Her lost HP was slowly recovering. When she landed a critical hit, her HP bar would increase by a small amount! Soon, Li Shuyi's HP was restored to the healthy level.
Bai Xiaowen was relieved. He turned his attention to the surrounding Iron-Thorn Army soldiers. By killing the Iron-Thorn Army's elite officers, the Iron-Thorn Army was disorganized.
At this time, torches lit up on the mountaintop. Dense arrows whistled through the air.
Cecilia led the Knights to shoot arrows. The arrows were more powerful from the higher ground. In the chaos, the Iron-Thorn Army soldiers had no time to defend. Normal soldiers would lose half their HP after taking one arrow. They would die after two or three arrows. Occasionally, the unlucky ones would be hit in the vitals and die after one arrow.
Although Bai Xiaowen, Li Shuyi, and the summoned creatures were also within the range of the arrow formation and would also be injured, seeing the Iron-Thorn Army soldiers being shot until they pissed their pants, this price was completely acceptable.
The so-called war was just a bloody game to see who was more miserable.
Ricardo, the commander of the Ironthorn Family, wasn't as calm as Bai Xiaowen. He could only wave his one-handed hammer in vain, trying to kill this annoying fly that was circling around him so that he could free up his hands to command the battle.
However, Li Shuyi's body was extremely slippery and fast. Ricardo's hammer couldn't even touch the corner of Li Shuyi's clothes. Li Shuyi dodged the skills that were occasionally mixed in with the normal hammering. He had used his HP to test out Ricardo's skills, and it was not in vain.
Although Ricardo's maximum HP was high, he could not endure this kind of endless consumption. Very quickly, his HP fell to half. This feeling was extremely stifling.
Suddenly, the faint blood-red light around Li Shuyi's body dissipated, and his speed slowed down. The duration of the Wrath of the Sovereign had ended.
Ricardo's spirit was lifted. Although he didn't understand why the enemy suddenly slowed down, it was undoubtedly a good thing.
Ricardo took Li Shuyi's sword head-on and suddenly bent his body, slamming his hammer on the ground.
This was Ricardo's last battle skill that he had yet to use — Earthquake Strike!
In the conical area ahead, waves of earth undulated. Li Shuyi lost his footing and immediately fell into a state of severe slowing.
Originally, Li Shuyi's speed was too fast, and this skill had a rather obvious raising of his hand. If he used it rashly, the probability of missing was very high. Ricardo was also a scheming boy. He had waited patiently until this moment, and at the cost of taking Li Shuyi's sword head-on, he finally succeeded in slowing down Li Shuyi.
Ricardo saw the dawn of victory. The woman in front of him was slowed down. Next, he would use a combination of Stun Strike + Sweep + Shield of Vengeance!
However, when the hammer came down, Li Shuyi's figure suddenly became illusory.
The Ring of Nothingness's Incorporeal skill was activated. Li Shuyi dodged the Stun Strike like a ghost. She didn't dodge or evade. She endured the slowing effect and attacked Ricardo head-on!
Ricardo's HP fell again. He roared in pain and swung his hammer continuously, but it kept hitting empty air.
"Just like the acceleration state just now, this damned witchcraft that can't hit me must have a duration!" Ricardo hid behind his heavy shield to defend himself.
As expected, Li Shuyi's Incorporeal state only lasted for a few seconds before disappearing.
Ricardo sneered. He only defended and didn't attack. After being attacked by Li Shuyi for nearly a minute, his HP was still close to half. It was as high as 500 to 600 points! Li Shuyi was at his wit's end. He only needed a few seconds to kill Li Shuyi.
However, Li Shuyi took a step back and reached out his hand.
A yellowish talisman flickered with light. Then, a 2.5-meter-tall zombie with a green face and fangs appeared. Its upper body muscles were much larger than its lower body.
Vigor Zombie Talisman!
Li Shuyi wasn't a summoner. He could only issue basic attack commands to the Vigor Zombie. The Vigor Zombie suddenly leaped and smashed its fists at Ricardo.
Ricardo was shocked but didn't panic. Putting up a shield to defend himself had become his instinct. With a clanging sound, he staggered and almost fell.
"How is this possible? This zombie monster … is so strong? "
Li Shuyi was also a little surprised. However, she reacted quickly. When Ricardo revealed a flaw, she followed behind the Vigor Zombie and stabbed with her swords, taking away dozens of Ricardo's HP!
One-on-one combat wasn't Li Shuyi's strong suit. However, Li Shuyi was most used to attacking while being protected by summoned creatures.
Perhaps the Vigor Zombie didn't have Bai Xiaowen's precise control and couldn't actively protect Li Shuyi. However, its 2.5-meter-tall body was a wall that couldn't be ignored! Li Shuyi used his speed advantage to circle around the Vigor Zombie. Occasionally, he would stab with his sword. It was actually easier than when he activated Wrath of the Grand Lord.
The Iron Thorn Army, which hadn't received any orders, suffered a large number of casualties under Cecilia's arrow formation. Fortunately, these were the elites of the Ironthorn Army. Otherwise, there would have been deserters. Even so, the morale of these soldiers was low. They were no longer as brave as they were when they attacked Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi.
There were also loyal Ironthorn soldiers who tried to support their commander. However, anyone who got close to Li Shuyi and Ricardo's battle was killed without exception! They either died from Bai Xiaowen's headshot or from being surrounded by summoned creatures.
"Knights of Baishi, charge!"
A cold woman's voice rang out.
Seeing that the Ironthorn Army had suffered heavy casualties and their morale had plummeted, Cecilia decisively launched a charge! The knights of Baishi abandoned their horses and looked for openings to shoot arrows as they descended the mountain.
Cecilia's personal strength played an important role. Every time her silver bow was drawn, it would take away the life of an Ironthorn soldier. Moreover, it basically hit the throat, heart, and other vital points. Cecilia's ability to have such astonishing accuracy in a night battle was indeed extraordinary as the leader of the long-range shooting team.
In addition, under the influence of Cecilia's buff skills, the bow knights' long-range shooting speed and damage increased by a notch.
When the first batch of Baishi knights reached the Ironthorn Camp, they put away their bows and took out their longswords to engage in hand-to-hand combat. Most of the Ironthorn soldiers had lost their will to fight. Under the pincer attack of Bai Xiaowen and the Baishi knights, they were defeated and fled.
Ricardo was anxious, but there was nothing he could do. The Vigor Zombie in front of him didn't seem to be very strong, but every time its heavy fist smashed onto his shield, there would be an uncomfortable jolt that caused Ricardo's body to become slightly unstable, and Li Shuyi would often take advantage of this to attack him.
Ricardo saw that the situation was not good and wanted to take a detour. He wanted to give up on fighting with Li Shuyi and join up with the troops. His strength was still in commanding troops. However, Li Shuyi was already prepared and ordered the strength zombie to use the "Earth Shaker" skill.
The strength zombie raised its fists high and suddenly slammed them on the ground. The shockwave spread and the earth trembled. Ricardo was immediately slowed down, and his escape plan was ruined.
However, as a high-level BOSS, Ricardo was not afraid of this kind of slow control and quickly recovered.
Li Shuyi had long wanted to test the second skill and immediately ordered the "Heavy Stomp" skill.
The strength zombie jumped high and landed on Ricardo.
However, the movement was too long. Ricardo saw the landing point and immediately dodged to the side. With the strength zombie's leap and landing time, Ricardo could walk out of the range of the Heavy Stomp with his normal speed.
However, Li Shuyi reacted quickly and directly used the additional skill of "Bazaar's Entanglement" to trap Ricardo. This time, he had no way to escape.
With a bang, Ricardo was hit by the shockwave. He suffered physical damage and was stunned.
Li Shuyi understood that the starting movement of the Heavy Stomp skill was too long. If he used it first, the opponent could easily dodge it. From this, it seemed that Heavy Stomp should be used after the "Earth Shaker" skill. It was best to chain the skills together so that the opponent, who was slowed down, could not dodge.
Li Shuyi was not afraid of the stunned Ricardo. He quickly stabbed with his two swords and slashed three times in a row. All the attacks were aimed at Ricardo's face, throat, and other vital points.
Ricardo's HP plummeted without end. Even if his defense was high, he could not withstand the continuous attacks on his vital points.
When he recovered, Ricardo's face was covered in blood. One of his eyes had been blinded by Li Shuyi and turned into a horrible bloody hole.
Ricardo roared at the sky, but there was nothing he could do. With the strength zombie's "protection", Li Shuyi could take away the last of his HP.
On the other side, the knights of Baishi City led by Cecilia had broken through the enemy's formation and reached the heart of the city. They had met up with Bai Xiaowen.
"I knew it was you, my love!"
Cecilia's beautiful eyes flashed with tenderness and longing. It was enough to melt the heart of any man.
"Cecilia, you're safe now," Bai Xiaowen said with a charming smile. "Come on, let's fight side by side and defeat these mobs together."
Cecilia nodded and slashed with her longbow, causing a Thorn soldier to stagger. Then, with a flick of her wrist, the bowstring twisted and killed the soldier.
The summoned creatures immediately separated and welcomed Cecilia and her Bow Knights into the inner circle. The Thorn soldiers wanted to take this opportunity to attack, but the Butcher stepped forward and blocked the gap with his stalwart body. The purplish black poisonous fog surged, causing the Thorn soldiers to suffer again.
The Bow Knights had a meat shield to defend themselves and could fight more effectively. With the addition of this group of long-range archers, especially Cecilia, the Thorn soldiers were defeated even more.
Cecilia saw Ricardo fighting with Li Shuyi. Her eyes were filled with killing intent as she drew her bow. "Ricardo of the Iron Wall!"
"Cecilia, don't worry about him." Bai Xiaowen quickly stopped her. "This is training for Charlotte."
"Okay." Cecilia spoke bluntly to outsiders, but she was abnormally obedient to Bai Xiaowen. The arrow flew through the air and slightly changed its angle. It flew past Ricardo and killed a Thorn soldier more than 100 meters away.
Ricardo wanted to delay the Vigor Zombie until it disappeared, but although the Vigor Zombie didn't last long, it still lasted for 300 seconds! Ricardo couldn't delay it, and his HP was slowly being depleted by Li Shuyi.
"I … don't want to die …"
Ricardo knelt on the ground, covered in blood. As a Vitality type Boss, his death was also very tragic. His HP of more than 1000 was almost completely depleted by Li Shuyi. The parts of his body that weren't covered by armor were covered in wounds.
With a thud, Ricardo fell to the ground and died!
"(^ - ^) V! I did it! " In the party channel, Li Shuyi was cheering. This was the second time she had soloed a high-level Boss.
Unlike Xin Jiulang, who died in the water, Li Shuyi had killed Ricardo under fair conditions. It was very significant, and it was an immeasurable boost to Li Shuyi's confidence.
But on the surface, Beauty Li was very calm. She only secretly tightened her grip on the hilt of her sword. After collecting the golden treasure chest that Ricardo dropped, Li Shuyi immediately changed her target and went to kill the other Thorn soldiers.
With the death of their Commander, the Thorn soldiers' defeat became even more obvious. They scattered and fled, and some of the injured threw down their weapons and begged for mercy.
After the battle, a count was made. There were more than 100 Thorn soldiers who surrendered.
Bai Xiaowen ordered, "Don't keep any prisoners! Dismiss them all! "
"Why, Dior?" Cecilia was a little confused. "These people are all well-trained elite soldiers. No matter how bad they are, they are still young and able-bodied laborers. That alone is equivalent to a considerable amount of wealth. It's a pity to dismiss them like this. "
Bai Xiaowen pulled Cecilia to the side and whispered a few words into her ear.
Cecilia's white ears turned red, but her eyes were filled with surprise, "Your plan … is really bold, but it's your style. I support you, Dior. "
