Chapter 46: Level 20 Boss: Lava Knight

While the crowd was still in shock, Su Ming’s ranking continued to climb!

【Player: Killing God has cleared the 12th floor!】

Once this news appeared, it stirred up a thousand waves, causing people to gasp in cold air.

Everyone was shocked to the extreme.

They hadn't expected him to be able to keep pushing!

The most terrifying part was that it hadn't taken him much time at all!

This meant that this player named Killing God was still one-shotting bosses even in the high-difficulty zones beyond the tenth floor.

This was truly terrifying.

【Player: Killing God has cleared the 13th floor】

【Killing God has cleared the 14th floor】

【Killing God has cleared the 15th floor】

The continuous stream of notifications left the crowd’s eyes numb.

For a moment, the previously noisy area outside became deathly silent.

"He... he..."

People’s voices were trembling; they were unable to say anything at all.

Inside the tower at this moment.

Su Ming had already rushed to the 19th floor!

The boss here was a massive Amethyst Dragon-Blood Rhinoceros.

【Fierce Beast: Amethyst Dragon-Blood Rhinoceros】

【Level: 23】

【Strength: 320】

【Physique: 300】

【Agility: 25】

【Spirit: 15】

【Luck: 3】

【Skills: Dragon Blood Self-Healing, Crystal Giant Horn, Ruthless Crushing, Fearful Roar...】

【This rhinoceros monster contains a portion of ancient dragon blood in its veins; its ancestors were a cross between a dragon and a rhinoceros. By this generation, the dragon blood is thin, but it is present nonetheless.】

Seeing the monster’s data, Su Ming’s expression turned cautious.

This monster’s strength was already on the same level as the hidden boss of the novice dungeon, the Blood Lake Guardian.

He feared it would be somewhat difficult to challenge it successfully!

But Su Ming never thought of backing down.

He raised his hand and unleashed a Heaven-Falling Sword Tomb!

Boom!

A sword cry rang out through the firmament, followed by a massive stone sword tombstone crashing down.

The rhinoceros roared and charged forward violently.

The sword tomb landed, directly smashing the dragon-blood rhinoceros’s midsection into pulp.

Entrails spilled out, and blood surged toward the sky!

The power was immense.

But it wasn't what Su Ming had originally anticipated.

"It moved too fast; it actually dodged."

Su Ming’s expression was grave as he thought to himself.

He had originally intended to hit its head.

Heaven-Falling Sword Tomb was his most powerful sword-type skill at the moment; if it had struck the head, he might have severely wounded or even instantly killed this monster.

Regret was regret, but he still had to kill it!

The bull charged over violently, its massive amethyst horns flashing with cold light, its speed during the lunge extremely fast.

Su Ming dodged to the side abruptly, while simultaneously taunting it.

"Dragon-Blood Rhinoceros, I don't know what kind of heaven-defying breed that dragon ancestor of yours was!"

"To think it could actually bring itself to mate with a rhinoceros that rolls in the mud all day."

"Creating a hybrid bloodline like you lot!"

"It’s truly laughable, hahaha!"

Su Ming’s voice was filled with extreme mockery.

This was a form of tactics.

As long as he could win, Su Ming never hesitated to use any means necessary.

Verbal provocation was a very effective method, capable of disrupting an enemy’s attack rhythm and plans.

He didn't know if this monster could understand human speech, but he had to taunt it anyway.

Trying it out could never be wrong.

Moreover, this monster’s Spirit attribute was as high as 15 points, already higher than many humans.

Su Ming guessed it was highly likely that it could understand human speech.

Sure enough, upon hearing Su Ming’s mockery, the rhinoceros flew into a rage and came charging over with a boom!

The amethyst horn atop its head flashed with a brilliant light, then exploded!

A beam of death ray shot toward Su Ming.

Su Ming sneered.

Hmph, truly a beast; it fell for such an obvious taunt.

It had directly triggered its most powerful trump card skill.

Now that he knew this move, Su Ming could deal with it without holding back!

He activated God-Hiding Step for a split second to dodge the beam, then raised his hand and shook it!

Crack!

The Long Xiang broken sword immediately shattered, the broken blade flying out to pierce the rhinoceros’s eye socket, blinding it.

Su Ming then sidestepped into its visual blind spot and gripped the broken sword diagonally!

At this moment, the broken sword was a short sword!

He could activate Killing God’s Single Blade!

This strike had to be an instant kill!

Pure, ruthless killing intent flashed in Su Ming’s eyes.

Whoosh!

This strike carried killing intent as vast as the sea, surging forth!

Seeing this strike, the massive mutated amethyst-horned rhinoceros actually became somewhat terrified!

Because this was a legendary-grade skill, enough to chill its heart.

A blood-red blade mark flashed by in an instant.

Puchi.

The massive bull head rolled to the ground.

Even the purple crystal horn snapped and fell.

Killing God’s Single Blade was incomparably powerful.

【Congratulations, you have successfully cleared the 19th floor!】

Su Ming gained a massive amount of experience.

He promoted directly to level 19.

He was only one step away from level 20!

His breathing was somewhat rapid, as using Killing God’s Single Blade consumed too much energy.

He then looked at the ground.

【Loot: Amethyst Rhinoceros Horn (Platinum High-Grade Material) X1】

This thing was a rare forging material, excellent for making weapons.

Su Ming tucked it straight into his pocket.

Then, a large treasure chest appeared before him.

It was a Gold High-Grade treasure chest.

Su Ming directly used All-Things Sublimation.

【Platinum High-Grade!】

Su Ming opened the chest.

Immediately, a blueprint appeared inside.

【Platinum High-Grade Weapon: Soul-Screaming Scythe Blueprint X1】

【Required Materials:

【Any Platinum High-Grade core weapon base X1】

【Yellow Ape Pump-Blood Heart X1】

【Water Ghost Vocal Cords X1】

【Refined Steel Mysterious Iron...】

There were many materials, but they could basically all be bought at the auction house.

"Not bad, I can craft this scythe for Ji Yao to use."

Su Ming’s lips curled slightly.

After putting the blueprint away, he stepped directly into the 20th floor!

As soon as he entered the 20th floor, the scenery changed!

Beneath his feet was pitch-black volcanic rock, and on both sides of the road, rolling lava surged.

A burly knight clad in lava fire armor stood ahead.

He carried a giant hammer on his shoulder, looking incomparably fierce.

He stood with his back to Su Ming, not even turning around to look.

"Hmm?"

"You... are only level 19, yet you can reach the 20th floor?"

"You are indeed strong."

He turned around, his face calm.
