If it were anyone else, it would be very difficult to kill Qiu Hai under Hong Kun's protection. However, Delifa was a flying creature. Hong Kun was not familiar with the way she attacked. Moreover, her combat skills were very high. She was not inferior to the high-level leaders of the Sword Song Realm.
Qiu Hai was in a state of being sent flying. He could not defend himself. After his chest was pierced, his old eyes widened in anger! He roared and used all his remaining strength to hit Delifa's chest with a Bone Melting Palm.
Delifa screamed. A large part of her chest caved in. Blood spurted out of her mouth. Her body quickly turned into light and disappeared.
Bai Xiaowen was shocked. He did not expect Qiu Hai's last attack to be so powerful. Delifa was directly killed by a palm.
Fortunately, Delifa was a summoned creature. She could be revived in 12 hours. It was not a big deal. If one of the four members of the White Phoenix Squad was hit by this palm, it would be a great loss.
After Qiu Hai was killed, Bai Xiaowen immediately ordered the Butcher and Wrath Claw to surround the other Level-8 leader, Hong Kun. He took out the Desert Eagle again and started shooting from afar. He forced Hong Kun to use some of his True Qi to move and dodge the bullets.
It was undeniable that Qiao Rui's Soul Rhythm Weakening was a godly skill. After the weakening effect was stacked five times, Hong Kun's Strength, Agility, and other attributes decreased. His attacks were not as fierce as before.
Initially, almost all of the Butcher's attacks were blocked. He could only take a beating. However, at least his HP was stabilized now.
Of course, the real strength of the leader of the Sword Song Realm was his combat skills. When Hong Kun used this set of staff techniques, his polearm skill had already reached Level-10! Even though his attributes had been weakened, his steel staff was still unpredictable, pointing to the east and striking to the west. He was not at a disadvantage even when he was surrounded by Butcher and the summoned creatures.
However, Qiao Rui's Soul Rhythm was Mass Weakening. The surrounding Black Guard's attributes also decreased.
Although these Black Guard were elite martial artists, in terms of martial arts proficiency, they could not compare to a leader like Hong Kun. After their attributes were weakened, the Black Guards found it difficult to adapt. When they made their moves, they would often show some flaws that they shouldn't have.
For the warriors of the Sword Song Plane, who had low HP and low defense and relied on combat techniques, a flaw meant an opportunity to exploit. On the other hand, Li Shuyi was a newly promoted Ghost Warrior. Not only was his attack speed extremely fast, but his critical strike rate was also very high. Once he grasped the opponent's weakness, he would often launch a lightning-quick strike at the opponent's vitals, instantly killing them!
Li Shuyi's killing speed increased greatly. Almost every breath, a Black Guard fell.
Moreover, these Black Guard were fearless men of sacrifice. Without orders from their superiors, they would fight to the death without retreating. Very quickly, the last Black Guard fell under Li Shuyi's sword. The White Phoenix team quickly completed their encirclement of Elder Hong Kun!
With the addition of Li Shuyi, a powerful and agile close-combat hero, the pressure on Hong Kun multiplied. He could only take a defensive stance. However, under the siege, Hong Kun's steel staff couldn't block all the attacks. Soon, he was hit by Li Shuyi's sword. The pain penetrated his bones. Fortunately, it didn't hit his vitals.
After the first wound, the second and third wounds followed. The Skeleton Warriors and Bai Xiaowen hit him consecutively.
Hong Kun was injured. His vital energy gradually dissipated, and his strength was not increasing. He glanced at the Black Guard's corpse on the ground, as well as Elder Qiu Hai's corpse, and felt regret in his heart.
He didn't expect a young master of the Duan Shui Villa and his three servants to be so powerful!
The leaders of both the righteous and evil sects knew the strength of the Duan Shui Villa's Villa Master, Bai Hanjiang. Bai Hanjiang's swordsmanship wasn't good enough. At best, he was at the level of an Elder from the Three Peaks and Four Valleys. He was even slightly inferior and was easily defeated by Ying Jianfan.
However, Bai Hanjiang's son and his servants were able to kill so many Black Guard. Even the two Great Elders from the Blood God Peak would inevitably die here.
Hong Kun's heart was filled with sorrow, and the will to die surged. He let out a roar from his throat and ignored Li Shuyi's sword. His steel staff was like a violent storm, almost engulfing all of Li Shuyi's dodging space.
Li Shuyi was shocked. He didn't expect Hong Kun, who had always been on the defensive, to suddenly attack with all his might. She was also a low-health profession. If she exchanged blows with the leader, she would likely be killed.
In desperation, Li Shuyi could only activate the ring's virtual skill. Hong Kun's crazy staff attack hit the air. He could only watch as Li Shuyi's sword pierced through his chest and the blade came out of his body.
Bai Xiaowen's bullets, the Butcher's giant snake staff, the Skeleton Warrior's large sword slashed … a series of attacks fell on Hong Kun's body. At the same time, Bai Xiaowen shouted, "Shuyi, retreat!"
Li Shuyi, who was in the virtual state, didn't know what was going on. However, he still trusted Bai Xiaowen and didn't hesitate to abandon his sword and retreat, escaping from Hong Kun's melee range.
"Roar!"
Hong Kun, who was bathed in blood, held his steel staff with both hands. Suddenly, he spun like a top and released his inner force!
A hot current surged and a strong wind swept out. The Skeleton Warrior, the Butcher, Han Xu, and other targets in Hong Kun's melee range all had their HP reduced by a large amount!
This was Hong Kun's last attack. It was also his counterattack when he was on the verge of death. More importantly, this attack was a mixed attack. Not only did it contain physical damage from the steel staff, but it also contained the internal force of Hong Kun's inner force. It swept out and dealt fire damage (treated as magic damage)!
If Li Shuyi relied on his virtual state and stayed in the melee range, the consequences would be dire. This was because in the virtual state, the magic damage received would be greatly increased.
Although Li Shuyi was a Hero, his ability to withstand damage was much weaker than Han Xu's. In the last round of attacks, Han Xu only smashed his heavy shield in front of him and avoided most of the damage.
"Phew, a Level-8 leader from the Sword Song Realm is indeed much stronger than other realms," Li Shuyi said with emotion.
Back in the Blacktide Realm, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi had faced a Level-8 leader. At that time, it had not been as difficult as it was now. The two of them had improved greatly compared to that time. With the addition of Qiao Rui and Han Xu as teammates, they had formed the White Phoenix team. Their strength had increased greatly.
"Let's continue forward. We can't stay here."
Bai Xiaowen took a deep breath and put away the two gold treasure chests and the three silver treasure chests dropped by the Black Guard. At this time, the four of them, including the summoned creatures, were not in peak condition. Especially the melee fighters, their HP had decreased greatly.
The Butcher gnawed on the corpses of the two leaders and continued to maintain the HP buff on him. Fatty's HP was the healthiest among the melee fighters. At first, he had lost a lot of HP, but as the Black Guard died one by one, his HP recovered quickly. Later on, Hong Kun's main target was not him. It was just that he did not have time to retreat from the last Horizontal Sweep and took a mixed attack.
Everyone took out potions and food to recover their HP. As they hurried forward, they recovered their HP. The most tired was Qiao Rui. His value as a support was reflected. Once the cooldown of Life Heal was over, he would immediately cast it to recover everyone's HP.
Qiao Rui had used up a lot of his mental power. Fortunately, he had the "filtered water of the Nile River" from the Ancient Egyptian Realm. It only took a few seconds for him to recover.
The importance of this battle to the entire mission was self-evident. The two people killed were Hong Kun and Qiu Hai. They were the two leaders of the Black Guard on Blood God Peak. Once they died, the order of the Black Guard would become much more chaotic.
Unless Qin Hui personally came to command. However, Bai Xiaowen speculated that Qin Hui was either not in the Armory or was busy with other things. He definitely could not come out.
Otherwise, if Hong Kun could come to support them, why didn't Qin Hui come?
The White Phoenix team avoided the Black Guard and continued to move in the direction of the Armory. After walking for about ten minutes, they approached the gate of the Armory. From afar, they could see the open space in front of the Armory.
The walls around the open space were filled with torches, illuminating the dark underground tunnel as if it was daytime.
The heavy bronze gate was still tightly shut. However, there were more than ten Black Guard divided into two groups guarding the gate. They seemed to be quite vigilant.
"Qin Hui really did enter the Armory!" Bai Xiaowen said after taking a glance.
"Yes, if he wasn't in the Armory, the Black Guard wouldn't have to be so strict." Li Shuyi took the opportunity to show off his intelligence. He was on the silver list of the National College Entrance Examination. He was also a top student.
Qiao Rui frowned and said, "This is troublesome. Qin Hui is in the Armory. We have to find a way to get in. We don't have Gu Yulian's key and we don't know the password. What should we do? "
Bai Xiaowen gestured for his teammates to sit cross-legged on the ground to rest and recover. He touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Bai Xiaowen actually knew the password to the Armory's heavy bronze gate. He had seen Gu Yulian's opening movements. Bai Xiaowen could completely copy her movements.
However, without the secret key, knowing the password was useless.
His teammates didn't dare to disturb Bai Xiaowen's thoughts.
Bai Xiaowen tapped his fingers lightly. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "I have an idea. Let's clean up the Black Guard at the gate and interrogate Qin Hui's whereabouts … Although we speculate that he is inside the Armory, we still have to confirm it. "
The four members of the White Phoenix team finished their rest and reappeared. Without their leader, the elite Black Guard was no match for them. They were killed one after another.
The White Phoenix team deliberately left two severely injured Black Guard alive to interrogate Qin Hui's whereabouts. The two of them were quite stubborn. They didn't answer at first. Later, they were frightened by Butcher's act of wanting to bite them. They had no choice but to admit that Qin Hui was inside the Armory.
The two of them didn't feel like they were betraying Qin Hui because Qin Hui was inside the Armory and was incomparably safe. One of them even threatened, "Wait until the day our Lord finishes his training. The day he comes out of seclusion will be the day you die!"
"So Qin Hui is practicing martial arts inside … What's the point of cramming at the last minute?" Bai Xiaowen shook his head and killed the two Black Guard.
After cleaning up the Black Guard outside the Armory, Bai Xiaowen and the other three stood in front of the heavy bronze gate.
The other three people's gazes all looked at Bai Xiaowen, waiting for him to come up with a solution.
"We've been in the Armory before. There were oil lamps burning inside for a long time. This means that the inside of the Armory isn't completely sealed off. There are pipes that connect to the outside world for air circulation."
Bai Xiaowen released his psychic tentacles and carefully probed the heavy bronze gate and the surrounding mountain walls. At the same time, he said, "Also, if the people inside are in seclusion for three to five months, what about their food? There should be pipes outside for dry food and clean water. "
Qiao Rui nodded to show that she understood. She also closed her eyes and released her psychic power to explore the surroundings for possible pipes.
The two psychic-type Metahumans were the main force of the exploration. As for Li Shuyi and Han Xu, they were bored and went to open the treasure chests.
First, there were five silver treasure chests. Three of them were obtained from the previous battle, and the other two were obtained from this battle.
Out of the five treasure chests, three of them were empty. They only gave some psionic points as a consolation. The other two silver treasure chests each dropped an item.
[Blood Demon Pill: Grade-A Item. It can stimulate the user's blood circulation speed and increase attack speed and movement speed by 25% for 120 seconds. After the effect ends, the user will fall into a weakened state for four hours and all attributes will be reduced by 25%.]
This Grade-A item, Blood Demon Pill, did not have a particularly good effect. It only increased attack speed and movement speed, both of which were derived from agility. The negative effect was that all attributes were reduced, which was not a small price to pay.
If it directly increased agility, the price would be even higher. Agility was an important basic attribute. It would increase critical hit rate, dodge, parry, block, and other derived attributes simultaneously.
However, considering that it was an item dropped from an elite, he could not ask for too much.
The other item was a blue equipment, Night Suit. It increased agility by three points and had an additional passive effect, Night Walking, which reduced the probability of being discovered when in stealth mode.
This Night Suit was considered a good piece of blue equipment. Blue equipment with additional skills were very rare. Of course, the passive effect of Night Walking was very limited. Only assassins with stealth skills would need it. However, a real assassin would not be interested in a blue equipment that only added three points to agility.
The real highlight was the two gold treasure chests.
In terms of combat rating, Qiu Hai's treasure chest was Grade-B, while Hong Kun's treasure chest was Grade-C.
The first to open was Hong Kun's treasure chest. Li Shuyi clicked on the card. After the golden light flipped, a small pile of sparkling and translucent crystals appeared in front of him.
There were three special-grade Spirit Crystals!
This was not bad. The special-grade Spirit Crystals could be used to strengthen equipment. They were basically the same price as standard gold equipment. One of them would not be less than 15,000 points.
It was worth mentioning that Hong Kun's treasure chest also dropped the Blood God Peak Elder Hong Kun identity token. This token could be used to exchange for merit points from the righteous faction or the Blood God Palace faction. From this, it could be seen that Qin Hui's Blood God Palace rebels were not welcomed. Both the righteous and evil factions viewed them as enemies.
Just as Li Shuyi opened Qiu Hai's treasure chest, there was a sudden movement on the other side.
Bai Xiaowen and Qiao Rui opened their eyes at almost the same time.
"I found it."
