Chapter 372: Blood Dripping into a Corpse

The Zombie King was suppressed for a second or two, then suddenly raised its hand and clawed, shattering the sword tomb.

The giant sword tomb turned into gray stone, crumbling and disintegrating, falling across the sky.

The Zombie King stood up, shook its head, and continued to charge.

Su Ming flew out, passing the others.

One man, one sword, charging directly to solo it!

He was going to... solo a Fifth-Turn boss.

His remaining mental energy was roughly about 30%.

If he paid the price of exhausting his mental energy, he could trigger [Killing God’s Single Blade] to severely injure the boss, and the probability of killing it in one strike was also very high.

But there were four witnesses present who would see this terrifying killing move of his.

If it leaked out, it would be extremely unfavorable for hiding his identity.

Moreover, after performing the Killing God’s Single Blade, he would definitely be completely exhausted.

If these people decided to kick him while he was down to snatch the boss loot, that would be a disaster.

Su Ming’s caution toward strangers would never diminish.

Even if the Druer team had helped him, Su Ming could not trust them completely.

Su Ming chose to believe in the sword technique of this life!

Previously, he had used the Blade of Killing Intent to crazily reduce the boss’s defense, all for this moment.

He held the Ten Thousand Soul Condensing Fire Sword, bowed to store power, his hand trembling, electric currents flashing on the blade.

The next instant, seven black shadows emerged.

Seven sword shadows, wielding ink-colored longswords, residues streaking, like a torrent sweeping through!

Following Su Ming’s main body, they rushed to slash like ocean waves, and all the shadows seemed to be wrapped in lightning and thunder, flashing with azure electric currents, emerging with a bit of blue shadow-dyeing.

The grand momentum caused electric arcs to spread on the ground around Su Ming.

The four people behind him, although not the direct targets of this sword, felt a numbness in their feet, their whole bodies trembling slightly, as if paralyzed by the current.

Furthermore, the sword Qi of the [Drunken Sword Style] skill also condensed and emerged.

Black, blue, and blood-colored sword Qi expanded into thousands of streaks in this instant, violently rushing to kill!

Directly submerging the Zombie King!

The Zombie King’s body was riddled with holes in an instant, countless lightning sword marks spreading, wounds deep enough to see bone, even its ribs visible, flesh and blood blurred!

The Zombie King lost a significant amount of health instantly.

That wasn't all; countless flying swords behind Su Ming swirled and stabbed at the Zombie King’s six eyes, causing it to enter a blinded state!

But the Zombie King’s skull was truly hard; Su Ming’s blood swords couldn't penetrate it, and even after dozens of blood swords stabbed it, there were only some cracks.

And the blood swords shattered.

The Blade of Killing Intent rushed in, layer by layer reducing the boss’s defense.

Gradually, the Zombie King’s defense lowered once more.

This series of offensives caused the boss to lose nearly 21% of its health in total!

Su Ming’s [Drunken Sword Style] skill also managed to upgrade.

[Drunken Sword Style Proficiency +42308]

[Skill Advanced!]

[Drunken Heart Sword Intent (Epic Low-Grade)]

[Lying on the cliff, drunk and startling the old; waking from a dream, brushing the sword toward the sky.]

[When you are drunk, you enter the Drunken Sword Stance; all sword techniques are guaranteed to add a sword Qi effect. If the sword technique already comes with a sword Qi effect, the sword Qi effect is significantly enhanced.]

Su Ming’s eyes sharpened.

From a probability-based sword Qi addition to all sword techniques being guaranteed to add sword Qi—he was extremely satisfied!

Chen Jian behind him, looking at the Zombie King’s miserable state, couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"This... how is this possible!?"

Even someone as steady and mature as him couldn't help but be shocked.

A peak Fifth-Turn boss—how could one person make it lose 21% of its health in an instant?

Could it be that this swordsman, who held the [Undead Slayer] title, was a Half-Step Sixth-Turn?

Su Ming, taking advantage of the seven shadows not yet dissipating, condensed another sword technique and slashed out.

Roar-shriek!

But the Zombie King had already reacted, suddenly clawing out, aiming for Su Ming’s chest!

Its agility was too high; Su Ming could at most perform two and a half sword techniques in front of it before it would react.

So Su Ming had to retreat, spinning and triggering the Electric Martial Instant Body.

He transformed into an electric current, instantly teleporting to the Frost Flame Death Mark Sword he had placed beforehand, his hand gripping the hilt.

Even so, three blood-dripping scars were clawed into Su Ming’s chest!

After the previous melee, the number of death mark layers on Su Ming had been growing.

Now, it had reached eight layers!

Two more layers, and he would be dead!

The claw marks carried a virus, instantly traveling through Su Ming’s limbs and bones, causing him deep internal injuries.

He tilted his head and drank a drop of bitter snake gallbladder juice, neutralizing the toxicity.

Afterward, he spat, coughing out the stagnant blood.

"I’ve hacked it thousands of times; if the death mark could take effect, I would have killed it tens of thousands of times already," Su Ming stared fixedly at the boss, whispering to himself.

"Unfortunately, the death mark curse has no effect on the boss..."

The Zombie King still had plenty of health, but he didn't have much mental energy left.

Could it be... that he could only trigger the Killing God’s Single Blade?

Su Ming’s strongest sword techniques had little effect on this Zombie King because it was simply too agile and too tanky.

For example, the Dragon-Slaying True Art only triggered double damage against large targets, and this boss’s size was only slightly larger than a human’s.

The Moon Flower Sword Array was also difficult to take effect because the range of this sword array wasn't large; with the Zombie King’s agility, it could escape in an instant!

While Su Ming was pondering, he didn't know that a blood-red Zombie King clone had quietly appeared behind him!

Its facial features were blurred, its body composed of blood flow.

Its right arm stretched out, condensing into a scarlet blood-flow cone.

It pierced toward his heart!

The few people behind him saw this scene and wanted to warn him, but it was too late; the speed was too fast!

The moment Su Ming saw this move behind him through Xiao Ming’s vision, his pupils shrank to the size of needle points!

"The Zombie King shouldn't have had this skill!"

He was incredibly shocked in his heart.

He suddenly recalled that among the people who participated in the battle just now, there was a Fifth-Turn Blood Spell Master who had a skill to condense a blood clone!

"Could it be that the Zombie King inherited a new skill after devouring that class-holder’s flesh and blood?!"

The Zombie King was simply too smart; it had actually left a drop of blood behind Su Ming beforehand, just to use this despicable method to kill him.

Su Ming’s expression was cold; he felt it was already too late to use a sword move or ordinary movement to dodge.

Only [Hidden God Step]!

With his current remaining mental energy, once triggered, he would basically have to say goodbye to challenging the boss!

But the boss had already entered the kill range; it was only a little bit away!

He was truly... unwilling!

Just at this moment.

Click, click, click!!

A freezing, extremely cold aura covered the area behind Su Ming!

The surface of that blood-flow clone was instantly covered by a thin layer of frost.
