Boom!
The earth shook and buzzed as a 100-foot tall skeleton, which looked like a giant beast, suddenly charged over from afar. Its ferocious and brutal aura instantly engulfed the surroundings.
"Quick, use the Insightful Art!"
Many people's expressions changed when they saw the skeleton. Cao Hong turned his head to look at the people in his team and said in a deep voice.
Actually, he did not need to say anything. When the huge skeleton had appeared, someone had already used the Insightful Art to check the monster's attributes.
"This monster is called the Broken Bone Lord. As for its strength, it cannot be detected at all."
After using the Insightful Art, a player said solemnly.
Upon hearing that …
The others also looked solemn, but they were not too shocked.
Now that they were deep in the heart of the Devil Calamity, it was normal to encounter powerful monsters.
If a True Martial Realm player could not detect it with the Insightful Art, the monster had to be at least at the Spirit Martial Realm.
However, in this place …
Regardless of whether it was at the Spirit Martial Realm or the Divine Martial Realm, it could only unleash the strength of a peak True Martial Realm.
If Cao Hong and the others had encountered the Broken Bone Lord in the Spirit Protectorate or above, they would have definitely run as far away as possible. However, in the True Dominion, given their strength, there was no need to run away.
Furthermore …
If they could not even deal with the Broken Bone Lord, then conquering the evil fiends would be a joke.
After all …
The Broken Bone Lord was just one of the Devil Calamities transformed by the evil fiends. No matter how powerful it was, it could not be compared to the evil fiends.
On the contrary, they could take advantage of this opportunity to predict the evil fiends' strength in advance from the Broken Bone Lord.
With a soft swoosh, a long sword pierced through the air and charged toward the Broken Bone Lord.
The long sword sped forward as fast as lightning, creating a loud noise. In less than a breath, it had already arrived in front of the Broken Bone Lord.
Boom!
At an abnormal speed, the huge palm slapped toward the long sword. A terrifying force immediately bombarded the long sword and sent it flying.
The sword-wielding player's face turned pale immediately, as if his Spiritual Force had suffered some damage.
However, he recovered quickly and continued to control the long sword with his Spiritual Force to attack the Broken Bone Lord.
These Devil Disaster Skeletons were powerful, but their weakness was also the most obvious, and that was their soul fire.
No matter how powerful a Devil Disaster Skeleton was, as long as its Soul Flame was extinguished, it would immediately fall and turn into a pile of bones that would scatter, no longer able to be used by the Evil Demons.
While the young man was flying on his sword, the other players also made their moves.
This was not a personal battle.
If they wanted to kill the Boss, they had to clear all obstacles as quickly as possible and at the least cost.
In an instant.
Astral energy streaked across the sky as numerous attacks shot toward Lord of Shattered Bones.
Although the Bonesetter King was huge, its speed was also shockingly fast. Moreover, its attacks were powerful and heavy, far surpassing other monsters.
The monster also knew where its weakness was.
Every time someone tried to attack the Soul Fire, it would firmly protect itself, not giving the player the slightest chance.
However, if players were to attack other areas, the Lord of Shattered Bones would not pay much attention to them.
In terms of defensive power, the bone armor on his body was not much weaker than a spiritual weapon.
It was not an easy task to break through such a defense.
The battle unfolded very quickly, and it did not take long for it to reach a white-hot stage.
A palm that was like a huge millstone came crushing down. A player could not dodge in time and could only support his protective aura to block the Bonesetter King's attack.
However, although the protective aura was strong, the Bonesetter King's attack was obviously stronger.
With just one touch, the protective aura was directly shattered.
However, there was also a gap in the middle, which allowed the player to successfully escape the attack range.
"Those who cultivate Frost True Essence, slow down this monster's attack speed!"
Liu Qinghong immediately shouted.
The NPCs in this game were no different from ordinary people. If one wanted to deal with them in the traditional way, it could only be said that the results were minimal.
However, if one wanted to deal with monsters without intelligence, it was no different from the previous games.
It could be said that there would be such people in every regular player team.
Suddenly.
More than a dozen players attacked, using their Frost True Essence to bombard the Bonesetter King's body.
Although the Bonesetter King's body defense was strong, it was difficult to break its body defense with True Essence attacks.
However, the goal of the players was not to rely on this to kill the opponent. They just wanted to use their Frost True Essence to slow down its movement and create opportunities for others.
Immediately after, the leader of the team said, "Those who cultivate Poison Attribute Cultivation Methods or Martial Arts, try to see if you can corrode its bone armor."
"Those who have advanced Movement Techniques, try to interfere with the Bonesetter King's attack as much as possible."
"Those who have more powerful offensive Martial Arts, find a way to break the bone armor's defense and extinguish its Soul Fire."
Orders were issued one after another.
All the players attacked the Bonesetter King in an orderly manner.
In a one-on-one battle, no one was a match for the Bonesetter King.
However, with everyone working together, the Bonesetter King's movement suddenly slowed down. Although its attack was still fierce, for those who cultivated advanced Movement Techniques, such a slow speed was not very useful no matter how fierce the attack was.
Although the bone armor's defense was comparable to a Spiritual Weapon, it was not invincible.
Moreover, it was not like there were no players who had Spiritual Weapons. In addition, those who cultivated Poison Attribute Cultivation Methods and Martial Arts had a great corrosive effect on the bone armor.
In this way, the Bonesetter King's defense was further weakened.
Finally.
Under the intensive attacks, the Bonesetter King's bone armor finally showed signs of cracking.
The moment the bone armor broke.
A long sword flew out and disappeared into the Bonesetter King's eye socket in the blink of an eye.
When the long sword went in, a shocking Sword Qi exploded.
The flickering Soul Fire was like a flame that had been blown by the wind, and was extinguished in an instant.
The moment the Soul Fire was extinguished.
The Bonesetter King's huge body fell to the ground like a wooden frame.
Cao Hong looked back at the young man who put away the long sword and said with a fake smile, "Brother Bian, good move!"
However, there was an extremely serious look in his eyes.
Bian Hang.
He was one of the few strong players in the Beiyun Mansion. In terms of strength, Cao Hong was not confident that he could defeat him.
When all the players were hovering in the True Martial Realm, Bian Hang had already stepped into the Spiritual Martial Realm.
One had to know.
It had been more than three years in the game world, but there were still very few players who could advance to the Spiritual Martial Realm.
One of the problems was the cultivation method, and the other was the large amount of experience points needed to break through to the Spiritual Martial Realm.
It was easy to obtain a Spiritual Level cultivation method.
With the means of the players, as long as they spent some time or found a way to join a sect in the Spiritual Realm, they would have a chance to get it.
The real problem was the large amount of experience points needed to break through to the Spiritual Martial Realm.
Even Cao Hong himself, who had been at the peak of the True Martial Realm for a few months, was still a long way from breaking through to the Spiritual Martial Realm.
This showed how strong Bian Hang was.
Even in the teams, there were only a few elite players, who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Bian Hang in terms of realm.
"You flatter me." Bian Hang smiled slightly, in a good mood.
He had killed the Bonesetter King with a single strike and gained a lot of experience points.
The facts proved that Bian Hang was indeed a monster in the Spiritual Martial Realm.
Even though the experience points given by the Demon Disaster Skeletons were much less than those given by monsters, it was still extremely rich.
As for the other players who had entered the Spiritual God Realm, their eyes flickered slightly.
Although Spiritual God Realm cultivators could give birth to a Spiritual God and strengthen their Divine Sense to a powerful extent, it was not something a Spiritual God Realm cultivator could do if they wanted to attach their Divine Sense to a longsword and reach the point of controlling a sword to kill enemies with peerless power.
Bian Hang had definitely obtained some kind of martial arts to have such an ability.
However, cultivation methods and martial arts were taboo for anyone.
Although they had some guesses in their hearts, it was not good for them to say too much.
"The Bonesetter King is already dead. This monster should have been deliberately sent by the demons to stop us after noticing our arrival. Now that this monster is dead, the main culprit might be waiting for us to enter."
Liu Qinghong looked at the fortress in front of him that was filled with demonic energy and said with a solemn expression.
The battle just now had caused quite a commotion.
But until now, they had not seen any movement from the demons.
With the strength of the demons, it was impossible for them not to have noticed anything. The current situation could only mean that the other party was already aware of everything and was just waiting for them to enter.
In fact.
From the moment they stepped into the demonic land, the demons had already noticed their existence.
Thinking of this, many people felt heavy in their hearts.
Although the Bonesetter King did not cause much damage to the team, the powerful strength that the other party displayed also gave them a lot of pressure.
Looking at the big picture.
From the Bonesetter King's strength, one could more or less infer how powerful the demons were.
In fact, many people were already prepared for this.
After a short silence.
Bian Hang said calmly, "Since this boss is so confident, then let's go in and take a good look!"
"If we want the demons to come out, why do we have to go deep into the tiger's den?"
"Brother Cao, what do you mean?"
"Just watch."
A mysterious smile appeared on Cao Hong's face. Then, a jade ring on his hand flickered, and a sealed package appeared in his hand.
When they saw this, Bian Hang and the others were also moved.
"A storage ring!"
Storage rings were true treasures among players. They were extremely expensive, and players who could obtain such treasures could only be said to be rare.
Even Bian Hang himself did not have a storage ring.
It was not that he could not get it.
It was because the price to get it was too high, so he was not willing to get it.
But even so, Cao Hong had a storage ring in his hand, which proved that the other party's financial resources were not as simple as it seemed.
"This is … explosives?" Someone saw the thing in the other party's hand and asked in surprise.
Explosives?
Hearing this, the others also turned their gazes over, their expressions changing unpredictably.
They did not think that Cao Hong would take out explosives.
Explosives, whether in the game world or the real world, basically existed.
Coupled with the realism of the game world, almost everything that existed in the real world, as long as it could be manufactured step by step, the power would be the same.
But the problem was.
The manufacturing of many powerful weapons required very complicated steps, and because of the difference between the two worlds, the materials were also very different, so it was very difficult to manufacture.
Some simple guns and cannons could be manufactured, but those things were not very powerful.
It could be used to deal with ordinary people, but to deal with cultivators, it was far from enough.
Not to mention other things.
When a cultivator reached the level of Copper Skin and Iron Bones, their defensive power would greatly increase, and the threat of guns and cannons would be reduced by 70%.
If they reached the peak of Basic Martial Realm, their body would become one, and they would be able to ignore the threat of guns and cannons.
In the early days of the game, there were still some knowledgeable players who would make these things to kill monsters and level up.
But now that he had leveled up, these things were basically obsolete.
Among them, the explosives in Cao Hong's hand were included.
The power of explosives was not fake, but cultivators were born with strong senses. As long as the explosives were detonated, just by jumping up in the air, the explosives would not have any effect.
As for large amounts of explosives, although they could pose a threat to some True Martial Realm cultivators, the amount needed was too large, and the gains and losses were not proportional.
And when sieging a city, explosives were not very useful.
Basically, every city had runes engraved on it to protect the safety of the city walls, to prevent a powerful cultivator from destroying the city walls in just a few moves.
So, things in the real world had very little use in the game world.
At this moment, when they saw Cao Hong take out these things, the others were very surprised.
Because these things were completely useless.
Could it be that he was going to use explosives to blow up the demons?
Cao Hong smiled and said, "If the demons don't come out, then we'll invite them out. The only protection of the stronghold is this city wall. Now that the stronghold has been breached by the demons, the runes on the city wall have long disappeared.
At this time, explosives will naturally come in handy. "
The city wall was very large. Destroying it by relying on manpower alone would not only take time, but also a lot of True Essence.
On the contrary, if they used explosives to blow up the city wall, it would be much simpler.
Even if the demons had made any arrangements, it would be within the stronghold. As long as the city wall was gone, all the arrangements would be useless.
Then.
They saw Cao Hong continuously take out packs of explosives from his storage ring and pass them to the other players in the team. Then, they saw these people pile up the explosives at the foot of the city wall.
Not long after, there were thousands of explosives piled up at the foot of the stronghold.
Many people frowned when they saw this, and their expressions turned solemn.
Thousands of explosives.
Once such a force exploded, even the Earth Energy shield of a Physical Invulnerability Realm cultivator would be shattered.
After the last explosive pack was placed in place, Tang Wulin took a deep breath.
Cao Hong said, "Everyone, step back a little to avoid being affected."
Hearing this.
The others immediately stepped back a little. Some of them had already activated their True Essence, ready to deal with what would happen next.
When everyone retreated, Cao Hong also retreated a very far distance. Then, a fiery Zhen Yuan blasted out in the air and directly fell on top of one of the explosive packs.
The next moment.
Boom!
An earth-shattering sound, as if the earth had cracked, instantly resounded through the sky.
Immediately after, a powerful heatwave swept out in all directions.
At this moment.
All the cultivators spread out their Protective Earth Energy to resist the heatwave.
At this moment, their eyes all fell on the city wall of the stronghold, wanting to see if the explosives would work.
In the eyes of the players, the city wall was like a piece of paper. Under the impact of the heatwave, it disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The moment the stronghold shattered.
A terrifying and tyrannical aura suddenly burst out from within.
"How dare you!"
An earth-shattering thunder roared. A terrifying figure that was nearly 300 feet tall had already stepped out of the stronghold.
Everywhere it passed, there was a vast Fiend Qi.
The heatwave caused by the explosion was drowned by the surging Fiend Qi.
Evil Lord Sun Soul was filled with killing intent. His huge eyes stared coldly at the numerous players in front of him.
He had already sensed these people when they had stepped into the Fiend Territory.
However, to these people …
Evil Lord Sun Soul did not take them to heart at all.
As an evil spirit of the Fiend Abyss, he was born as a Heavenly Being Realm expert. He also had the advantage of a powerful physical body. There were very few people in the same realm who could be on par with him.
In the True Dominion, he was comparable to an expert who had condensed the Universal Heavenly Lock.
According to Evil Lord Sun Soul's understanding of this world, the experts who had condensed the Universal Heavenly Lock seemed to have perished.
As for those who were also Heavenly Being Realm experts, he was not the least bit afraid of occupying a dominant position in the Fiend Territory.
In Evil Lord Sun Soul's opinion, Cao Hong and the others were more like something to adjust his mood after being sealed for thousands of years.
He would slowly toy with them like a cat playing with a mouse.
The Bone Shattering Lord had been a monster he had casually created and released to test the strength of the players.
However, based on the previous battle, these people were indeed not weak.
However, not weak was only a relative term.
In Evil Lord Sun Soul's opinion, Cao Hong and the others were just slightly stronger ants. He had even planned to sit still in the stronghold and slowly create some monsters to play with them.
In the end …
Cao Hong had directly used explosives to blow up the stronghold's walls.
Evil Lord Sun Soul was so angry that he exploded.
Given the evil spirit's experience, he naturally did not recognize explosives. Furthermore, the force of the explosion could only threaten True Martial Realm cultivators at most. It would not cause any harm to Spirit Martial Realm cultivators.
In the past, he would not have cared about such things.
However, now …
However, he was truly disgusted by these explosives.
When Evil Lord Sun Soul appeared, the faces of Cao Hong and the others turned solemn.
"Evil spirit!"
"Use the Insight Technique to check his attributes."
"His name is Evil Lord Sun Soul. I can't see any other information."
A player used the Insight Technique to take a look and immediately shook his head.
Even the Bone Shattering Lord's attributes could not be seen, let alone the evil spirit that created the Bone Shattering Lord.
That terrifying aura and the body that was like a small mountain made everyone feel a great pressure.
Such pressure.
Among all the bosses they had encountered, Evil Lord Sun Soul was the first.
Looking at the hill-like Evil Lord Sun Soul, Liu Qinghong's mind was also shaken. His gaze kept sweeping back and forth, trying to find the evil spirit's weakness.
Before coming here, he had tried to find the evil spirit's weakness on the forum.
But unfortunately …
Since the appearance of the evil spirit, there had never been a player who had defeated it, let alone a weakness.
It could be said that …
It was not that there were no players who had killed their way to the evil spirit, but there was not a single player who had completed the mission to kill the evil spirit.
Everyone was well aware of how powerful this kind of boss that no one had defeated yet was.
After scanning back and forth a few times …
Liu Qinghong said in a low voice, "It is said that the evil spirit's physical body is extremely strong. Its weakness should be the weak parts of its body. It is the same as us humans, it also has five vital organs, so it mainly attacks these places."
Hearing this, Bian Hang and the others turned around and nodded to each other, tacitly agreeing with each other's words.
The huge body of the Evil Lord Sun Soul in front of them gave off too much pressure.
Therefore, they did not dare to delay for too long.
Otherwise, before the boss was defeated, they would be scared before the battle even started.
"Go!"
Bian Hang roared angrily. The Spirit God immediately controlled the long sword and took the lead to cut through the sky, charging towards Evil Lord Sun Soul.
Immediately after.
The other players also made their moves.
Looking at the long sword coming towards him, Evil Lord Sun Soul revealed a mocking smile. Then, the pillar-like finger stretched out, and demonic energy surged, turning into a terrifying finger aura that directly bombarded over.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the long sword let out a mournful cry and was instantly sent flying by the terrifying force.
At the same time.
The Divine Will on the sword body also dissipated in an instant. Bian Hang spat out a mouthful of blood and had already suffered quite a serious injury.
"So strong!"
This was the only thought in Bian Hang's mind.
Without truly fighting with the evil spirit, one would never be able to understand how terrifying a boss of this level was.
Ever since he obtained the Spirit God's sword technique, he had been invincible.
Even if he encountered some strong opponents, there had never been anyone who could defeat his Spirit God in a single strike.
One must know that for this kind of Spirit God's sword technique, the strongest was the Spirit God, and the weakest was also the Spirit God.
Once the Spirit God on the long sword was defeated, the person controlling the sword would also be severely injured.
Subsequently.
Bian Hang took out a pill and consumed it to alleviate the injuries on his body. Then, he used his Divine Sense to recall the long sword.
There were already some cracks on the sword's body, and its spirituality had also dissipated by a lot.
Seeing this.
Bian Hang's heart ached again.
In order to obtain this spiritual artifact, he had paid a heavy price.
In the end, this spiritual artifact was almost destroyed in a single exchange. How could he not feel heartache?
