Chapter 365

With the curse effect of the [Frost-Flame Death-Mark Broken Sword], every time Su Ming took damage, he would stack a Death-Mark effect; in other words, he could not withstand more than 10 instances of damage.

Facing such a powerful BOSS, Su Ming had no time to unequip this weapon.

But, he still had a way to stack to the full level.

That was... the Blood-Leech Sword's curse affix! [Curse: While holding this sword, you will continuously bleed, losing 1% of your health per second (this bleeding effect is an independent effect and will not trigger any other negative special effects)]

This health loss was self-deduction and would not trigger any negative effects; in other words, it would not stack Death-Mark layers!

In this way, it only took 20 seconds, sacrificing 20% of his health, to stack the armguard affix to the full level without risk!

Su Ming was meticulous and had already tested the feasibility of this method in previous battles.

So now his goal was very clear: save as much Spirit as possible and hold on for twenty seconds first!

Once the attributes were stacked to the max, that would be the moment to sound the horn of counterattack!

Now with many BUFF bonuses, Su Ming's Agility attribute had already reached the 700 mark, Spirit 500, Luck 500.

His critical hit rate was extremely high, his speed was not slow, and his Spirit could even rival a half-step Tier 5 pure mage class-changer.

It could be said that now, based on attribute values alone, Su Ming had already far exceeded ordinary Tier 5s!

Take the two typical Tier 5s, Great Dark Thunder Venerable Lei Chen and Storm Lord Meng Qingtian, for example; the sum of their all-attributes was no more than about 2000 points.

And Su Ming's current total all-attributes had already crossed the 3000 mark; it could be called terrifying!

Of course, it was still far from the BOSS's total all-attributes of over ten thousand, but this was already the limit a half-step Tier 5 Su Ming could reach.

He believed that as long as he had 3000 attribute combat power, paired with the 40x sword technique boost of the Origin Sword Body, he might not be unable to solo this BOSS.

Creating miracles in battle was what he was best at!

Su Ming was slippery as a loach; under the effect of the high-tier movement technique, Lingwei Yin-Yang Step, even though his Agility attribute had a disparity of over 1300 compared to the Zombie King, he could still manage to remain unscathed!

Because of the 40x sword technique speed boost from the Origin Sword Body, Su Ming's sword technique speed was actually not much slower than the Zombie King's, and even faster by a notch!

Every time he faced an attack, he had time to draw his sword to block, neutralize the damage, and then borrow the force to evade.

A full dozen seconds passed, and Su Ming only had a small scratch on his shoulder, with the Death-Mark layer only stacked to one.

Roar-hiss!

The Zombie King roared, its blood-basin mouth opening, seemingly furious.

This kind of insignificant human was like food or livestock in its eyes, yet dared to scurry around in front of it.

It absolutely could not tolerate it!

The Zombie King's speed climbed abruptly.

It turned into a series of afterimages, suddenly closing in behind Su Ming.

Immediately, its blood-basin mouth opened, pressing toward Su Ming's neck in one bite, attempting to bite him to death.

This time, Su Ming did not evade!

Because... his layers were already stacked to the max.

At this very moment, it was the instant for a counterattack.

Gold light shone brilliantly in his eyes; through the vision of Xiao Ming in the air, he saw the three major weaknesses on the Zombie King!

The heart, the six eyes, and the brain.

In just a single instant, he calculated the strategy for his move in his mind.

This time Su Ming did not evade; instead, he joined his fingers into a sword-finger, shaking suddenly!

Boom, boom, boom!!

15 blades of killing intent burning with black flames condensed out of thin air, the blades overlapping to form a flower, rotating behind him and barely blocking the BOSS's blood-basin mouth for an instant.

Click, click, click, click.

Although the next moment, all the blades of killing intent shattered, Su Ming's goal had already been achieved.

Delaying the Zombie King's offensive for an instant was enough to win Su Ming a precious opportunity for a counterattack.

He turned suddenly, the Frost-Flame Death-Mark Broken Sword in his hand leaving his grip and shooting toward the BOSS's eyes.

At the same time, the blades dancing all over the sky also gathered instantly, piercing toward the BOSS's six blood-red eyes.

Su Ming took out the Epic-grade [Dark Moon Greatsword]!

He rarely used this sword because it was a greatsword; if one's Strength attribute wasn't high, it was very heavy and clumsy to use.

But at this very moment, his Strength attribute was extremely high, and he could fully activate it.

Gripping the wide blade with both hands, violent electricity appeared, silver-blue moonlight sword qi flashed, and the [Absolute-Sharp Seven-Shadow Sword] was fully activated!

Seven pitch-black ink-blot phantoms appeared, completely surrounding the Zombie King.

Subsequently, all sword moves attacked in the same instant.

Together with Su Ming's main body, a total of eight sword-qi phantoms pierced through the BOSS's body, leaving behind deep sword marks; black residual sword traces flowed in the air, looking terrifyingly murderous.

The Zombie King had grown accustomed to the battle mode of chasing Su Ming, never expecting him to suddenly launch a thunderous counterattack.

Coupled with the terrifying 40x sword technique speed boost of the Origin Sword Body, the Zombie King was completely unable to react to perform defense, evasion, or other measures.

The sword-controlling blades in the air pierced through one after another, paired with Su Ming's Seven-Shadow Sword move slashing.

Pfft, pfft!

Blood splashed.

The Zombie King was directly slashed until it was covered in wounds.

The blades of killing intent had an armor-reduction affix, and every attack could lower the BOSS's defense.

Su Ming had dozens of blades of killing intent slash over a hundred times in an instant; the BOSS's defense was no longer at its peak state!

Its hard body finally suffered damage, pus-gold Zombie King blood splashing, and its entire skin and flesh disintegrated into dozens of scorched black cracks.

Even its invincible posture would have days of suffering damage!

Su Ming's Dark Moon Greatsword had an affix effect called [Sinking-Moon-Like-Star].

It could multiply the heavy inertia of this sword by 30 times to take effect on the weapon's power, increasing blunt damage.

So the Zombie King's skin wasn't just pierced!

Even its bones showed slight cracks!

Su Ming pressed his advantage, actually following up by activating the [Thunder-Flow Hidden-Thunder Sword].

The move could be called ruthless, with absolutely no gaps!

The seven ink-colored phantoms did not dissipate, maintaining their stance, and all mimicked his movements, activating the Thunder-Flow Hidden-Thunder Sword.

Thunder sword qi from a total of eight directions roared and pierced through again, electric arcs winding.

Within a diameter of several dozen meters, all the zombies were paralyzed into scorched corpses by the stray electric sword qi, becoming extremely crispy.

The Zombie King was even slashed by this move until it knelt on one knee, a drop of blood spilling from the corner of its mouth.

Its skin and flesh cracked, and everywhere was scorched brown skin after electric traces had flashed.

"Let me go! I don't want to die!!"

"I am very strong, let me go, I can help you escape the encirclement of the zombie horde!" Her voice was distorted, and she was gradually becoming zombie-fied.

Su Ming said no more, a flash of calm killing intent in his eyes.

Whoosh!

The blade of killing intent, burning with pitch-black flames, pierced directly through her skull, killing her.
